My Mom Wants to Mate

30. Wedding Day

At a hotel, at night, Karen and Daniel's wedding is organized. The number of invitations was not so much. They only invite the closest people.

Daniel and Karen haven't met since the wedding.

Now they are each ready. Daniel with MUA and the best men (abroad only 1, but here all the bridesmaids called best men) are Dion and Nathan.

Karen along with MUA and bridesmaids are only 2 people (abroad, generally there are 4 bridesmaids with 1 maid of honor) namely Citra and Inda.

The photographer is ready there to capture the moment of preparation until the end of the event.

"Not to be nervous, Niel! Do you remember your line?" ask Dion.

Though Daniel was flat and ordinary, there was no nervousness on his face. However, no matter what Daniel's heart looked like, it was hard to read through his flat expression.

Nathan massaged Daniel's shoulder. "The road does not need to be careless, pity Karen wear a long dress."

Daniel smiled amusedly. "Yes, I'm not running."

Everything is neat. Kendrik is ready to take Karen and leave it to Daniel.

"Fry, pretty," said Kendrik, seeing his brother finished and wearing a beautiful dress.

Kendrik took Karen through the red carpet, walking slowly towards Daniel who had been waiting. Music through the shahdu ushered in Karen and Kendrik. Everyone stood up to greet the bride.

Then Kendrik handed Karen over to Daniel halfway through the trip saying, "Please take care of my brother!"

Daniel takes Karen's hand. "Yes, Ken."

Daniel and Karen walked together in the audience who stood saluting the arrival of the bride.

A moment later, after the sacred vows and the signing of the inauguration of the marriage in the civil record, the, they had legitimately become husband and wife and placed themselves in the armchair with Daniel's parents and Karen's parents with the position of father replaced by Kendrik.

They are ready to accept the hands of the audience of approximately 400 people. The brothers who have been at the wedding site since the afternoon have been saying goodbye one by one.

Now they are waiting for brothers and invited guests who have not been present. Mila, her husband and son were there.

"Congratulations, finally, marry you too Ren after 2 years since you spread rumors of marriage. Next, I'll wait for your ham."

Although they are both married, it does not make them recede in the competition of life.

"Thank you, Mil. Don't worry, I'll have 5 kids to make a boyband."

After Mila passes, looks someone who is no stranger to Karen, her former lover!

Jesus, why did Haris and his mother come to my wedding. I didn't miss him. (Karen).

Karen panics for not preparing for the rigid moment of meeting her ex at her own wedding. As she advanced to congratulate her, Mami Seli greeted them. Only then does Karen understand that Haris is Daniel's relative.

"My Bro, congratulations" Haris said, shaking Daniel's hand.

Daniel nodded. "Thank you, Ris."

"Ren, long time no see. Congratulations, I'm surprised you married my brother" Haris said. There were no sarcastic tones, and her expression of surprise looked as natural as Karen's shock right now.

"Thank you, Ris. I also didn't know that Daniel was still your brother."

It turned out that after they had a little chat, the awkwardness disappeared as well. In fact, Karen was more comfortable than chatting with Daniel.

Karen was down. There's a little bit of regret there. Remember the times when she and Haris fell in love. Now, Karen's heart was empty even though there was a man with husband status beside her.

After all, Haris is an ex-lover. That is, they were once at the point of incompatibility that made them have to separate.

The party is over. The nuclear family all stayed at the hotel in ordinary rooms. While Karen and Daniel got a bridal suite room that has been decorated specifically for brides.

Karen and Daniel enter the room.

Karen gets into the bathroom in a hurry, cleans up, takes a shower and wears casual clothes.

While Daniel was laying on the bed, still with his tuxedo.

A few minutes later, Karen came out of the bathroom. Daniel looked at her in astonishment.

"Where are you going?" tanyakanya.

Tumben. (Karen).

"I want to go out, get some wind."

Oh, my God, do you really have to answer? Why did he suddenly get caught? Yesterday I wanted to go back and forth, too. (Karen).

"The lounge hotel. Why the hell? Yesterday I was going nowhere you never asked!"

"I'm your husband now. You are my responsibility. Why-why, should I tell you Mama and Kendrik?"

Yes too. (Karen).

"Uhm, I just want to go to the lounge," Karen lowered her tone.

Daniel looked at his watch. "It's 9 o'clock."

"I'm just there until the lounge closes." Karen used the word 'free' to sound not so long ago. However, until the lounge closes it means he will spend his night there.

"Lounge closes at 1.45am!"

"Well, at 12 I'm back in the room."

Daniel folded both his hands on his chest and displayed a hostile face.

"11?"

Daniel nodded. Then, she pushed Karen's body out of the room and closed the door rather loudly.

Stump cockroaches! Kirain wasn't willing to leave, so I finally left. (Karen).

Karen headed to the hotel lounge, ordering food and drinks there. As the wedding progressed, Karen did not eat much. As a result, he was starving.

Spaghetti and mojito came along as well. He ate the food while thinking how to avoid Daniel from the hotel's 'first night.

There is no point in avoiding it either. Tomorrow will be home with him. Just yeah, not until I get out of the agreement. Actually, if he does not love me, he will not be more related, right? But people say, men can do that without feeling, so be careful. (Karen).

"Hi, Ren," said a man who immediately occupied an empty seat at Karen's desk.

Karen looked up and saw the origin of the voice. "Haris, what's here?"

"Yes, tomorrow I'm going to Spore via Koja International Airport."

"Now, don't you live in Koja?"

"No, my family moved to Purwaja after our house was widened."

"You'll find a house here. Why move there? No relocation housing?"

"Nothing. All those who need compensation funds. At that time I thought he would move all of you to a new place, a new atmosphere."

Karen mangosteen.

"But here alone, where's Daniel?" asked Haris, curious there is a newlywed instead of making out with the husband.

"There's a room. Daniel knows you're here?"

"Know. Yesterday was a call with Aunt Seli. He also volunteered to take you to the airport, but well, you guys are just getting married, the title of the event. I don't want to take ngrepotin. I'll take a taxi tomorrow."

Karen muttered back as her mind wandered.

Did Daniel know that Haris was my ex-boyfriend? Why didn't you tell me they were sisters? (Karen).

"So it hasn't been answered, why are you even here by yourself?"

"Oh, um, that party, I didn't have an appetite, I ate a little. Now the hehe's slack."

That answer had not satisfied Haris mind. Apparently he was quite good at reading situations.

If Laper could both be the same Daniel eat here. This hotel also provides room service, why not ask to be delivered to the room? (Laris).
