Not the Bride of Choice

Not the Bride of Choice
Birthday party



Three days later----.


"Mas" cried Queen who was getting upset "Stop kissing me !" she said while wearing the husband's tie.


"But what if I don't want to, your lips are so opium dear" replied Gavin.


Queen took a deep breath then re-worn her husband's tie, today is their birthday party or rather for Nara. And Aaron really hopes Gavin can come.


Actually, Gavin was very lazy to meet with his in-laws, because until now Aaron still hates the Queen, fortunately, he had made a party for his wife because he believed the party now held only for Nara.


"Done, now let's go !" take Queen.


But Gavin actually held his waist, so the Queen could not move. "I still want to be like this, baby"


"Papa and Nara must have been waiting for us mas" said Queen trying to release her husband's hand, but Queen's efforts were futile because the grip of Gavin's hand was getting stronger. And now the man goes down his neck with a kiss.


"Mas stop ! My makeup will fall apart" Queen said.


"Is your makeup more important than mine, dear ?" asked Gavin who finished his action, he looked at his wife's face intensely.


Queen took a deep breath, she wrapped her hands around her husband's neck "later we will continue again mas, but now we have to go to Papa's house, pity Nara if too long wait" said Queen in a soft voice.


Now it was Gavin's turn to take a deep breath, he looked at his wife's face with a sad look and smiled as he said "Well baby, let's go"

After arriving at Aaron's house, Gavin immediately stopped his car in front of the big house. Gavin also opened the door for his wife and helped Queen get out of the car. Gavin's arms were coiled around his wife's waist.


"I'm sorry for telling you to wear this dress, you look so sexy baby" whispered Gavin in his wife's ear.


"Stop teasing me ! It's the same dress as Nara" Queen replied.


When he arrived at the house that had been decorated well, Nara immediately welcomed the arrival of Queen and Gavin. The woman also wishes Queen a happy birthday as always.


Only Aaron didn't, and the Queen was used to it. Although he still very much expects the Papa to wish him a happy birthday as he did to Nara.


"Let's go on stage ! We blow the candles together" Nara asked.


Queen shook her head quickly, if she did that Aaron would hate her even more.


"You are Ra ! I send the same prayer as you" Queen replied softly, clear liquid had accumulated in her eyes.


"Well, happy birthday to my sister again"


After that Nara went on stage, the woman was so beautiful in a maroon-colored dress like the one Queen was wearing today, it was just that Queen was wearing pink.


"Happy birthday my daughter, may you live a long and healthy life always, papa loves you forever"


Queen's chest felt very tight when watching this scene, almost every year he felt this, Always considered nothing by the Papa.


"Cry if you want to ! now there's my shoulder where you lean" said Gavin, aware of his wife's grief.


Queen looked over, she almost forgot her husband. Now he is not alone because there is Gavin who loves him sincerely.


"May I go there myself ?" ask Queen.


"Why not with me, baby ?"


Queen smiled "Just for a moment, Nara's gonna blow out the candles, papa's gonna look for you"


Gavin looked at his wife, and it seemed that she was sad.


"I'll wait here, baby"


"Yes mas"


As in previous years, Queen sat alone by the pool. His eyes looked at the calm clear water. Slowly her tears flowed.


"Papa, can you just say that sentence to me once" Queen muttered softly.


*tes...


Tes*s*.


Two drops of blood were on his palm, Queen was surprised he was more curious why he often had nosebleeds like this.


"If you die, Papa will not love you"


Aaron's words back in his memory.


"Is it possible that Papa's words were granted by God ?" inner Queen.


The fresh virgin dripped more and more of her palms, Queen deliberately did not look up her head she wanted to see how much of it would drip.


But over time the Queen's body began to weaken, her face pale like an undead.

While at the party everyone seemed happy, Gavin was currently standing right beside Nara who was about to blow out the candles. People were singing with excitement no one knew what Queen was doing right now.


"First cut for Papa" Nara said after blowing out the candle and cutting the cake. He fed the cake to Aaron.


"Thank you son, may you live a long life" Aaron said as he kissed Nara's forehead affectionately.


"Second cut to Queen" Mata Nara looked around, only to realize that Queen was not among the dozens of people.


"Where's Queen ?" ask Nara to Gavin.


"He wanted to be alone" replied Gavin who actually began to worry about his wife, he was forced to stand beside Nara because of Aaron's coercion.


"Where ?"


Gavin points to where Queen is walking, and Nara knows where Queen is.


"Dear, don't mind him ! You better give the cake to Gavin" said Aaron who was upset.


"Can't Pa, this cake stays for Queen. During this time Queen sacrificed a lot for me, and I often made her suffer" replied Nara, she remembered Queen's story that Gavin used to torture her.


Nara walks off the stage, towards the pool because it's Queen's favorite spot. Though the Queen could not swim but somehow the woman really liked the place.


"Queen" Nara screeched as she saw her sister lying just like that on the floor.


The cake he was holding was thrown straight away, he ran up to Queen. His eyes were round when he saw that Queen's nose was already dried with blood. The Queen's clothes and palms were filled with red.


"What happened Queen, wake up !" nara shouted, she sat down and raised her sister's head and she put it on her thigh.


"Gavin, please Queen" Nara shouted loudly, hoping Gavin would hear her scream.


"Queen wake up ! It's our birthday"


Not how long Gavin had been coming, the man was quite surprised by his wife's current condition.


"What happened Ra ?" gavin asked frantically, he took over about to hold his wife.


"Don't know Vin, when I got here Queen was like this" replied Nara who was already crying.


"No need to panic, he must be just pretending" said Aaron who stood in the doorway, there was no look of worry on the man's face.


At that very moment Gavin's gaze turned sharp.
