Not as Beautiful as Roses

chapter 121

Wedding reception is 90%. Ballroom hotel A selected Astrid. Because both WO and EO from the hotel are really quality. All business relations are invited by Astrid and Pratama.

For Pratama relations, Praatama's participation in the marriage Laras felt because he wanted to repay his debt to Laras who was able to make his company rise from the slump.

The alibi certainly makes Pratama sad. He again wanted to acknowledge Laras and Joe in the audience. But fortunately, Laras could make him understand.

" Pa, would Papa prefer Papa's feelings over the company's reputation as Aerospace and Papa's future honor ?"

" But, Papa was really sad to hear their preconceived notions. "

" What Laras did first has no meaning dong later Pa. Already Pa. Leave it like this. Joe and I are very happy with the situation. No need to think about people's assumptions about us. Because we're not the ones who are living."

Pratama took a long breath. Down to think about what's best.

" Pa, Laras is really happy with sikon now." said Laras.

" What can I do. Than you think and hurt again later. "

" We love Papa without any recognition in the eyes of the public. It doesn't matter Pa."

Pratama hugged Laras. And rubbed his head. .

" Thank you Race. "

" Are you ready ?" pratama asks when he sees Azka and Mei coming down and dragging their luggage. Same with Ruly and Prita. I am holding Baby Al.

" We're leaving now Pa ?" ask Ruly.

" yes. "

" What about Papi Bram and Papi Nico Pa ?" ask Azka.

" They're at the inn. Same with Rudy, Sam and Astrid. We met in person at the inn. "

" all right. "

They got into the car and Ruly immediately drove her car to the inn in Bandung. The elders had already planned their departure three days before the marriage contract. All of you came for the forty-day event the twins had promised Pratama.

Baras opens a chat message from Damian.

' Look out later there with a sad event and faint again. I'm really gonna lock you up, baby. '

The corners of the lips are pulled upwards. Then he turned his eyes out of the window.

****

" Well, where are you going ?" pratama asked when he arrived.

" To the tomb of the twins Pa. "

" I'm with Mbak. " said Joe who had arrived first.

" Race.we are not going to do anything" said Azka.

" okay. I'm leaving yeah. Assalamualaikum says. "

" Waalaikumsalam's. "

Joe rubbed his brother's head for a moment. Makes Laras look up in wonder.

" Why ?"

" Kangen the same Mba Laras. "

" Heemmm, really just kangen ?"

Joe chuckles. Then turned his gaze towards the plantation.

" Mom, the trauma of Mommy Baras,, "

Joe's sentence hung, he did not dare to continue his sentence.

" I don't know. During this time Mas Damian just rubbed his head and grasped my hand. That's it, and all this time it's been fine. "

" Then later ? "

" I once discussed it with Aunt Anggi. "

" What does Aunt Anggi say ?"

" Slowly down. Letting my body adapt to Mas Damian's touch. "

Joe mangosteen understood.

" About the uterine infection that May has experienced. I hope you didn't force her to get pregnant. "

" Sir, we both know. We are in the midst of great women with imperfect pasts. I'm also not that perfect to demand my wife's perfection later."

" Thank God. I didn't realize my sister was this old. I can't even rub his head now. "

Joe laughed then embraced Laras.

" Don't gini ah. We are in a village of people. Later we'll be perverted."

" Same with my own sister. "

" Who knows. Who doesn't know ?"

" Yes, yes, the end of each deck is the same Ma'am. Bang Dami's eyes immediately glared. "

" It's not inspired by you. "

" I think it's more acute than I am. "

Laras laughs. He sat in front of the twins' tomb. Start reading yasin and tahlil according to the book he read. Same with Joe.

*****

The forty-day event of the twins went well. They were already in the inn. For the time being. Bram separates the bride's room from the groom's. The women are on the upper floor. And the groom is downstairs. Located in one room to make it easier to keep an eye on them. It should still be cut.

" If not for Laras. We can't be in this one room right now" joked Mahira.

" Sure,, !!" Azka.

Of course Laras just laughed.

" Till I get dragged along. " complained Tiwi.

" Even you are the first reception tomorrow." chirped Mei.

" We are Tiwi's bridesmaids. "

" No, Brother Hira. We have a mediocre reception. "

" You think Papi Bram will let him ? Of course not " said Laras.

Room door knocked. There's a look on Prita's face there.

" Eeehh, the bride is kok on ghibah. Not sleep. Tomorrow I want to do this. "prita's nag.

" It's mama otewe. "

" These you guys. Hitherto. Buruan. "

The five bride-to-be just chuckled and then went to sleep so as not to get nagging from Prita again.

****

The grooms were stunned when they saw their respective future wives who looked elegant, beautiful and elegant with their white kebaya. They sat next to their respective brides with smiles and eyes full of longing.

" SSAAAAAHHHHH,,,, !!!!! "

The roar of all the people was in front of Ar Rahman orphanage when all the bridegroom finished saying the qabul ijab. Local religious leaders immediately led prayers.

Tiwi reception event directly at the title. Just invite the people around and also Bram and Nico's men. But to Tiwi and Ryan, the wedding reception looks very luxurious. Baras was right, Bram and Niico made the reception luxurious despite being in the suburbs of Bandung.

Exactly eleven o'clock at night. Bram gave the newlyweds five room keys.

" Your stuff Papi put in each room. Please unboxing. "goda Bram.

" Mommy, Papi flirty. "kidding Tiwi.

Bram and Nico just laughed.

Damian pulled Laras' hand for a moment.

" Dear, I'll go to the kitchen first. I'm thirsty."

" Would I get you a drink ?"

" No need to, darling. You must have been uncomfortable wearing the dress."

Laaras chuckled then nodded.

" Go to the room first. Can I make you some warm tea ?"

" It's not necessary. I drink in my room. "

Damian nodded then walked towards the kitchen. In the distance saw Aunt Anggi who was talking to the elders. Damian approaching.

" Aunty. Can I talk to you for a second ?"

Anggi nodded in understanding. It must be that what was being talked about was not far from what the elders were afraid of there. Related to the past.

" What's up Damian ?"

" Aunty, about trauma Barrel ,,?"

" What are you afraid of is also being worried about Laras' parents. "

" Do you mean Aunt ?"

" They asked the same thing. "

" As Auntie said before. The barrel's almost healed Damian. But, it does not rule out the possibility that the trauma will recur as well. "

" How should I go Auntie ?"

Not funny either, if tonight must be ended Laras was in the hospital because the trauma relapsed. Her thought.

" Of course Aunt. Thank ye. "

" Go back to your room. "

Damian nodded then headed towards his room. He knocked on the door for a moment. When he heard Laras let him in. Damian came in, but he didn't close the door. One glass of mineral water he had brought just fell down.

The shocked barracks then approached.

" Well, Damian why ?"

Damian stepped with his eyes without blinking. This is the first time seeing Laras without wearing her hijab. Black hair and straight waist with bangs that are as long as a chin is allowed to decompose.

Real pretty. Praise Damian in your heart.

For walking without blinking. Damian slipped on the mineral glass he had dropped.

" Mum,,, !! " pekik Laras shocked.

" Aawwww, "his fallen screech sat down holding his ass.

The barrel squatted in front of him. Then help Damian stand up.

" How could it fall. What are you daydreaming about ?!" namel Baras.

" Look at my wife who turned into an angel.

" yeah, dreadlocks. "

" It's so beautiful, dear. "praise Damian while rubbing the hair Barrel.

Baras looked down embarrassed, a smile was not lost on his face. Makes Damian laugh.

The sound of a knock on the door that was not closed perfectly made Damian turn his head. Laras looked down as if he was hiding behind Damian's body.

" West, Damian, what are you doing ? What happened why the scream ?" tanya Astrid while entering followed by Mahira who had also removed her hijab. His intention to find Mama because her bag was exchanged with Laras's.

" Brother Laras ???" pekik Mahira was shocked as he approached Laras with his suitcase.

Damian smiled to see Mmahira was also surprised at him earlier.

" The barrel is okay Ma. Mas Damian fell. Laras was shocked. "

Astrid chuckles funny. Damian must have been surprised to see Laras not wearing a hijab.

" What's up Hira ?" laras asked when he saw Mahira looking at him intensely.

" Sister Laras is very beautiful. "praise him.

" This one is also beautiful. "reply Baras while tidying up the curls of Mahira's boat.

" You're both beautiful. Because your beauty is awake only to your husband "praise Astrid.

Damian nodded in agreement.

" sister. Our suitcase tapper looks like. "

" Ahh yes. I put my headscarf in dirty clothes. So I can't give it back to you. "

" It's okay, brother. If not gini I can not see Kak Laras beautiful gini."

" Apaan anyway. Let me get it. "

" This is a pity, " replied Damian who had put Mahira's suitcase beside him and took Laras' suitcase and put it on the floor.

" Kaalian rest. Tomorrow we return to Jakarta and go straight to hotel A. Damian made the sauce bar." Astrid's tease.

" Apaan the Ma. "

Astrid laughed as well as Mahira.

" You also went back to your room. Reymot must have been waiting for you. You also do not get too tired. "tease Astrid while pinching Mahira's cheek.

" Iihh Aunt ah. "

The two of them came out of Daamian's room and closed it. Damian locked it immediately.

" Is it okay ? Is anyone sick ?"

Damian shook his head and still looked at Laras in astonishment.

" Ohh, look at it as usual."

" You are beautiful, dear. "

" It's ah dreadful. Take a shower first. I prepared the warm water earlier, " said Laras as he moved to get a towel.

But Damian pulled his hand until Laras fell into his arms.

" Where to hemm, " said Damian while removing the hair covering the nose and mouth.

" Want , take a towel for Mas, " answered Laras nervously.

His heart beats faster. And Laras knew it wasn't because of his trauma just yet.

" I'm still missing. "

" It was ah. Mas Damian stinks. "sork Laras while pretending to cover his nose.

" Naughty yes. Her husband's time is smelly." joked Damian while menoel Laras' nose.

Laras just chuckled. And take his hand off his nose.

" I love you Laras. I'm happy we're finally married " she said, sticking her forehead with Laras's forehead.

" Thank you, Mommy. I want to accept me and my past. "

" Thank you for accepting me dearly" Damian said as he kissed Laras on the forehead.

Make the Barrel smile.

" Had his hug. Shower first. The water is cold."

" Kiss first, baby. "

" Mum, shame ah. "

" It's halal, baby. "

" Bath first. "

"Yes, yes, yes ,,"

Laras smiled wryly as Damian let go of his embrace. Then she took a towel in the closet and gave it to Damian.

Damian kissed Laras' lips briefly then while laughing his way into the bathroom. Laughing at Laras who was shocked hibgga just pecked.

****

"Hiragana baby, why are you ? Since Damian's room. You become quiet. Did Damian fuck me again ??"

Mahira shakes.

" So I saw Laras without the hijab. And wuuaaahhh, that's so pretty."

Rey laughed at Mahira's response.

" Kat Rey laughed, lest you ever see Kak Laras without a hijab ?"

" I met Laras before he was veiled dear Hiragana."

" Pamtesan alone took years to forget Kak Laras. Huuhh,, "

Rey scrunched her eyebrows.

" Dear, I've said many times. Laras I consider my brother no more. It's our first night. The masses are jealous. "

" Who is cem, hhmmmmppp " Mahira's sentence is hanging because Rey has silenced Mahira's lips with her lips.

" I love you dear Hiraganasm." whispered Rey in Mahira's ear.

****

Laras sat leaning on his bed. Seeing Damian who was wearing boxer pants and black t-shirt. Then get on the bed. The barrel is pounding because of it.

Damian smiled at the nervousness of Baras. He held that hand. Feels cold.

" Let's go to bed. Tiring day tomorrow, baby. "

" Dad, didn't ask, eehhmm, right Mas ?"

" It's a lifelong relationship, baby. We still have plenty of time. I know you're not ready yet. I'll wait until you're ready. "

" Oh, aren't you angry ?"

" Of course not. But, I can't help myself not hugging you, baby. So, let me hug you. "

" Thank you for the understanding Mas. " replied Laras happy.

" Let's go to bed. "

Damian fixed the position of the pillow and blanket barrel. Then asked Laras to sleep in his arms so he could hug her.

The barrel held onto Damian's chest which sounded thumping. Damian smelled the mint scent of Laras's hair making him opiate to smell it many times. Laras.

" I love you Mas Damian. Zaujieku. " whispered Laras. And dare to kiss Damian.

Damian restrains Laras' head and goes back to kissing Laras. Damian took a long breath. Attaching his forehead is known as Laras.

" I'm sorry, I've missed it. "he whispered.

Because unwittingly carried away by lust to bravely touch the twin mountains of Laras.

" For now, let it be like this. After the reception. I'll prepare myself."

" I'll always wait for him, baby. We're sleeping."

Laras nodded then hugged Damian's body. Looking for comfort there.
