My Cruel Husband's

The wedding of J&R

Before making a promise, Richard sang the song marry your daughter popularized by Brian McKnight.

Very soon I'm hopping that I...

Can marry your daughter

And make her my wife

I want her to be the only girl that I love for the rest of my life

And give her the best of me 'till the day that I die,

I'm gonna marry your princess

And make her my queen

Jane and her father walked to the wedding altar. Jane didn't expect Richard to sing. He had no idea that there was such a concept in his marriage.

When she walks down the aisle

Richard smiled faintly at his future wife. Jane is so beautiful today. He was not even stunned when he saw Jane out of his place and clasped his hand toward the altar.

On the arm of her father

On the day that I marry your daughter...

Richard finished the song. He who had been cold but so loving Jane, did not feel holding back the tears. His heart is so blossoming today because it will marry a woman who understands him so much at all times.

Tears must come down as Jane's hand is handed over by her father, Michelle, to Richard, the man who will now be Jane's husband.

They made promises before God and many invited guests to be together at all times. After that, Jane's veil was opened by Richard. Richard kissed his wife as a start before going through their new life.

Everyone applauded and called out congratulations. Jane belongs to Richard for now and hopefully until later. Their love has been united in the name of God. They have promised to live in the presence of God and of all people.

Vanilla sobbed to see her cousin who had now walked side by side out of the wedding altar to the group of invited guests.

Jhico hugged Vanilla. Shrugging the shoulder of the wife he knew was very lost. Even if Jane remains her cousin, but after having a husband there must be a change. Just like her who after having a husband can no longer be as free as she used to hang out with Jane. However, their status has changed and they have their own responsibilities.

"Don't cry, it's a happy day. There Jane smiled,"

"He's a friend to me, too,"

"Yes, I know. But if you cry, people can get it wrong. Because you're the one who's been sobbing the most since,"

Actually Jhico held back the laughter from earlier. As usual, Vanilla's mood changed so quickly. Before going to the event, he was upset with Jane who left first even though he wanted to accompany Jane from the beginning of preparation. And now, he's crying.

"You're noisy, can you be quiet?"

"Jeez, Vanilla. I'm just--"

Vanilla took off her husband's arms and approached Jane. He hugged his cousin and pinched Jane's shoulder with anxiety.

"You're finally married, too,"

"You're crying, huh?"

Vanilla touched her own eyelids then she shook her head not to confess. "No, what am I crying for?"

"Don't lie. Fluid from your nose can't compromise that,"

"Sia*an," maki Vanilla while hitting Jane's shoulder which is now broken. Vanilla touched his own nose.

"My nose is clean. Don't make you up!" his lips after making sure there was nothing in his little nose.

Jhico chose to approach Richard to give a 'congratulations' speech in person.

"Congratulations on your marriage. May you always be strong to face various challenges,"

Richard nodded with a faint smile. "Thanks, I pray for you and Vanilla too."

"Strongly face women yes," Jhico said with a chuckle.

"Like you huh? very strong against Vanilla which I know is not much different from Jane. Equally annoying,"

They both laughed. "Be careful when you say that. If Jane hears, you can sleep outside, Richard."

"Ah she won't dare to throw me out,"

Richard was able to blend in with Jhico who very rarely met him. It turns out that the cold Richard can be fun too when spoken to. Judging from the edge of Richard's face, Jhico was initially convinced that Richard was a stiff person. But when he meets Jane's family, especially Jane's niece, he can turn one hundred and eighty degrees. Just before the grand event was held, Richard still had time to calm Kayla who was crying because of a fight with her brother, Genta caused by the matter of flowers. Kayla wanted to pluck one of the flowers on the wedding altar but was forbidden by Genta. He finally cried bitterly and complained to his parents, Jo and Jhon.

Because everyone was anxious heading for the event, so Jo and Jhon paid little attention to their child until Kayla was upset to feel ignored. It was Richard who managed to stop the boy's cries.

"Uncle, where's Vanilla aunty?"

Sandra comes to Jhico and Richard to find out where Vanilla is.

"So with Aunty Jane,"

"Yes, but where?"

Jhico turned his eyes to all directions. When he saw the figure of his wife and Jane, he immediately told Sandra who had just asked him.

Sandra wanted to ask her Aunty for help in opening the soft drink cans she had just picked up at the booth.

If asking for help from his parents will definitely be returned, he is not allowed to drink.

"Aunty, open the can, please. I'm gonna drink this,"

Jane received the drink while gnawing. "Little children can't drink this yet. Don't look for disease,"

"But I'd like to try. Just a little, please."

"Don't, Sandra. You drink something else,"

"Ah Aunty Jane's. Why are you crying?"

Sandra realizes that Jane and Vanilla both look like they're crying. He immediately raised his hand to wipe away the traces of their tears.

"The ex-lover from Uncle Richard came," said Vanilla, who made Jane hit him on the head with Vanilla's own handbag.

"Oh, what's the problem?" sandra asked while scratching her long hair confused.

"His heart is hot,"

"Why invited?"

"Aunty never invites. It must have been him, "Jane's chin was on Richard who was still talking to Jhico.

"They have to get along, Aunty. They must be friends. Can't be so hot. Like worms,"

"I need to talk to Richard, anyway,"

Jane got up and Sandra drank it. Sandra yelled out, "Aunty, my drink is not to be taken away."

Jane pretended not to hear. He would talk to Richard but also return the soft drink soda so that his nephew did not drink.

"If Aunty Vanilla was crying for what?"

"So when Aunty Jane was handed over to Uncle Richard, Aunty was moved,"

Sandra nodded and ran over to Jane, who was now sitting opposite Jhico and Richard.

"What do you mean invite Federin?" ask Jane directly without warning. Richard raised one eyebrow.

"Forced, he called me and asked for an invitation. Yes, I gave it."

"Why don't you talk to me first? It's my wedding too,"

"Don't raise a small problem, dear." - Richard firmly with his face flat looking at Jane.

"Who's coming?" ask Jhico curious. Looks like Federin's got a real problem with Jane.

"His ex-lover is still that flirtatious,"

"Oh, okay, I'll go first."

Jhico invites Sandra to stay away as well. He knew what Richard and Jane were talking about was a very sensitive and personal matter for both of them.

"Uncle, my drink is Aunty Jane,"

"Well, we'll get another drink, please,"

Jhico accompanies Sandra to pick up the drink she wants. Upon seeing Sandra grabbing the soda again, Jhico immediately returned.

"That's a chocolate-flavored drink, strawberry, cheese, and so on. Why soda?"

Jhico shook his head firmly. "No, it's not good for your health, it's bad,"

"Take fruit juice only," added Jhico.

"It's my usual drink,"

"It's good to be used to drinking fruit juice. Don't try drinks like this,"

"But Adrian could have been,"

"Who allowed him?"

"Nothing like it,"

"Truly Adrian yes,"

"So, I can too, can't I, Uncle?"

"No, Honey. Listen to Uncle this time. Drink the other, Uncle alone does not want to drink this." said Jhico who is very protective of health.

Sandra chose blueberry juice to drink. Jhico patted the boy's head softly. He was happy that Sandra would.

Adrian looks to come to the soda stand again. Sandra immediately pointed her cousin to Jhico. Jhico looked over immediately. Jhico approached his handsome nephew. Then pat Adrian's hand slowly which will take one can of soda. Adrian looked up and smiled widely. He's like a thief now. He realized he was making a mistake because he looked scared.

"Don't give it to young children" Jhico told someone who was keeping a soft drink soda stand.

"I guess for their parents, sir" replied the stand guard man. He had no idea that Sandra and Adrian were taking it for themselves.

"Can't drink that. Mommy you know what?" ask Adrian Jhico.

"No,"

"How much did you spend?"

"Just two,"

"Two?"

Adrian nodded lightly. He answered honestly but made Jhico upset. There was a word 'only' as if he had drunk a drink.

"Yes, we're just sitting there, with Aunty Vanilla. Wait for the food to come,"

"I've taken the food. And I want to ask, actually what is the concept of marriage? Some food is delivered, some are taken alone. I don't understand" Adrian sneered like a chatty woman. Just eat though, but there is only a form of his protest.

"That which was taken by itself was to be brought home. But it can also be eaten here,"

Adrian and Sandra are taken by Jhico to approach Vanilla who is currently drowning her head in between the folds of the hand she placed on the table.

"Nilla, you got a headache?"

Vanilla raised her head and found Jhico with her two nephews. "No, where are you guys out of here anyway? you, leave me alone, "pointing Vanilla to Jhico scowled.

"They're going to take a drink that's not supposed to be for a kid,"

"Oh, soda or alcohol?"

Jhico immediately brought his head closer to Vanilla in surprise when he heard there was alcohol as well. Eyes blinked.

"There's alcohol?"

"So, I had a drink."

Jhico's jaw hardens instantly. The sentence that Vanilla had just casually delivered just now made Jhico really emotional. Vanilla seemed not to feel guilty even though what he did earlier was a huge folly.

"You don't have a brain, do you?" jhico asked hissing in Vanilla's ears so that their nephew did not hear and no matter how angry he was, still had to keep the tone of the talk so as not to make Vanilla sad.

"Just a little" Vanilla replied, holding her index and thumb together to tell her how much alcohol she had drunk.

"But--"

"Jhico, Vanilla, have you eaten yet?"

"Ah-" Vanilla turned her head as her Papa came to her and asked. He nodded and replied, "Here you go, Pa."

"Jhiko?"

Jhico nodded twice and tried to show a smile to his Father-in-law amid the growl that filled his heart at this moment.

"You guys are too?" Raihan looked at Sandra and Adrian alternately.

"Already, Grandpa. I ate a lot of it,"

"Smart, Sandra too?"

"Yes, Grandpa."

"Grandpa just wants to sit here,"

Jhico exhaled his breath. He had to hold back his emotions for a while. His mouth was already itching for an explanation from Vanilla but there was Raihan here. If Raihan knew the problem, maybe he would be even more angry.

"Why not be with Grandma?"

"Grandma was busy talking here and there,"

If there is a group, Rena is like most mothers. It is busy exchanging endless stories. While Raihan only knows a few guests here.

"Dad, maybe one more month my little family and I will move into our house. We don't live in the mansion anymore. Please, come with us."

Devan talks to Lucas while his wife, son, and nephew become good listeners.

"But Dad's comfortable living alone,"

"I know that. But I want Dad to stay with us. So we can monitor Dad. Staying alone makes you free to do anything without thinking about your own health condition,"

What Devan means is free, Lucas again adds work when the previous one alone is enough to drain energy.

Devan's like Lucas's son. There was no doubt at all to ask Lucas to stay with him in order to continue spending time together, watching the old man so that his health would continue to be maintained.

"Yes, Grandpa. Living with a grandchild is fun. I hope Grandpa will stay with me and my two sisters,"

"I want to live with my grandparents. But they live far away" Kayla said sadly. Seeing Andrean and Adrian being able to stay with Raihan and Rena, he wanted the same thing. But unfortunately, the grandparents of his father and mother live far from his home. Just visiting Kayla and Genta once in a while.

"Yes, if you don't want--"

"Lovi!" sela Devan before her wife speaks further. Lovi is also upset with his father. They had good intentions but were rejected.

Lucas' goal of refusing to live together long ago is, He doesn't want to make things difficult for Devan and Lovi. She was ashamed of her daughter. In the past, he was so evil.

Andrean looked at his Mommy with a different look. He also does not like the attitude of Lovi that he noticed since too concerned about his grandfather. Even the father who communicates and persuades more. While Lovi is more silent and becomes a listener.

****

The party this time was filled with great happiness. "I didn't think you could sing" Jane still couldn't believe that Richard would surprise her by singing a song they'd been listening to all this time.

"I guess you can only get angry,"

"I'm angry if you disturb my calm and my personal life. But if you're a good girl, I'll never be angry."

Jane had known how her husband had been all this time, but she was still curious so Richard often felt disturbed. He knew Richard was an evil man, just like Devan was. But strangely, he still loved the man. Because he was certain, it wasn't just one Lovi in this world. She can be another Lovi, Lovi who is so patient with her husband, Lovi who is so sincere to her husband even though he is treated so cruelly. Lovi is a woman who used to be an enemy of Jane because she has taken her favorite cousin, Devan, but now becomes a woman who is so idolized by Jane.

Federin comes to the table that Jane and Richard are sitting at. He will say goodbye to the bride before returning home.

"I'll go home first, Ri."

Jana rolled her eyeballs silently. He was just saying goodbye to Richard when his wife was here.

"It seems like her eyes are blind to me, only" Jane growled in her heart. Want to pull the blonde hair and slap the blushing red cheeks to make it red again like a tomato.

"Yes, thank you for coming,"

"Thank you for inviting me, too,"

"Hmmm actually I have no intention of inviting you," Richard said, making Federin slapped. He was a little offended but tried to keep smiling. Because if he looks gloomy because of Richard's words, Jane will be happy.

"You called me last night asking me when my wedding was going to be. After I answered, you insisted on being invited, "Richard re-revealed what was behind his act of inviting Federin without Jane's consent. Let Jane know, too, so she doesn't explain twice.
