SECOND CHANCE: Grandpa's Choice Wife

PREPARATORY

"Married?! This fast?!"

Almira was completely shocked for the umpteenth time. He thought, Grandpa will give him time. Probably, a week. It's not a matter of wedding preparation. If because of that problem, Almira certainly knows that Adijaya must be able to. However ... Doesn't the heart need preparation?

Weddings. A word that since yesterday guerrilla in the mind of Almira. A bond she never thought would come her way. He thought he would still be free with his solitude. But in just a day, everything changed suddenly. It's hard to resist, but it can't be completely accepted either.

The wind blew slowly, approaching the beautiful hair of Almira who occasionally danced gracefully. It felt like Zein wanted to gently rub the soft hair, or tuck it behind Almira's ears. However ....

"Echaem! You think, I want to, marry you and rush like this?" Zein glared at him. The man tried hard to resist something that had quietly started to disturb his calmness. No, he would never let such a cunning-eyed person rule his mind. It will never!

Zein turned his eyes. This time, traffic is the main object.

"Grandfather has prepared a replacement guardian for you. You just need to get ready and sit beside me quietly. Don't act too much, and there's nothing else you need to worry about" he said in a mingled tone of ridicule.

Almira frowned, not responding immediately. He tried to digest every sentence spoken from the lips of the man beside him. Why ... impression like him who really wants this marriage? Almira gritted her teeth. Basic sucks!

"Is there nothing you want to say?" zein added, seeing the woman next to him did not respond at all. In fact, it hardly flinched.

Almira suppressed her anger, swallowed her annoyance, and then tried to behave normally. He shook his head at the question he thought was just a pleasantries.

"What do I say, it matters?" the insinuation, without looking at the other person.

At an important time like this, all he wanted was for the orphanage mother to be there to accompany him. Just a wish, for saying so would only be met with a mockery by the cold man beside him.

This time, it was Zein's turn to quietly hear Almira's reply. Why, every time he talks to this woman, does he feel guilty?

"Whatever's best for grandfather, I'll follow him," Almira bitterly broke up. He looked at the grass in front of him, who had just been silent, not talking.

"After we get married, you're not allowed to work anymore. Wherever it was," Zein broke up, without questioning the opinion of the person concerned.

Almira could only smile bitterly. Not until marriage, but Zein had arranged it to be like this. He could not imagine what he would face in the future. Basic authoritarian!

"I've sent you a letter of resignation to the Wiryawan company. So, you don't have to bother," Zein added, as if what he did was something worthy of praise. BB

Almira jerks. He stared intently at Zein, who only frowned then the corner of his lips grinned as if enjoying his expression of annoyance. Almira longed to point the finger at him, curse him, beat him or curse him to never be happy in his life. His chest throbbed pain. He should not accept this unilateral decision. Does this man really have no conscience at all?

Almira silently clenched both of her hands, catch her breath and tried to hold back the anger that was about to explode in her heart. Grandfather's words flashed across his head, and in an instant cooled his mind.

"alright. I get it."

Almira could only give in. After all, there was no point fighting people with personalities like Zein. In addition, he also realized that after he became the daughter-in-law of the Adijaya family, he might no longer have the right to argue. Because he has agreed to grandfather's wishes, then, just go first.

Zein was slightly surprised to see Almira's reaction. It's not what he imagined.

"You are truly obedient" sneered Zein.

***

Like the heart of Almira who was moody, that morning the weather was a little cloudy. Occasionally drizzle falls, applying itself to the surface of the earth. Jerking leaves without knowing excuse me.

The beautiful woman sat down daydreaming while looking at the drizzle from behind the window. There was no enthusiasm at all from the look on his face. Everything felt empty, because it was not like this the destiny he expected. Unfortunately, even if he could, Almira could not possibly afford the fate he wanted.

"Look. Isn't this dress perfect for you? It also looks very snug on your slender body." MUA who looks in her thirties was from then on incessantly babbling to break the silence. But every sentence that came out of his mouth only responded to Almira with a thin smile, sometimes also a nod.

"It looks like Mr. Zein did order it specifically for you," said the lacquered-haired woman while giving a thin polish to Almira's face.

Order specially? For him? Almira immediately sneered inwardly. He will be the first to doubt it. However, he chose not to say anything. Let everyone speculate as they please. Explained it is of no use.

Almira is sure that the grandfather of the person who actually has the most contribution to everything. Including the room that was currently used to decorate himself. Hadi's grandfather purposely ordered that the entire upper floor be emptied, and decorated for today's event. Yep. This fast, and it feels like Almira's dream is completely gone. Thinking of that cold and moody handsome face ... Almira shuddered in horror.

"Your face, which was originally beautiful, is now many times more beautiful with just this simple touch," he praised again, staring in amazement at the picture in the glass.

Almira shook her head in amusement. From now on, the sweet-faced woman who is familiarly called Miss Bella is unceasingly talking. He was very chatty, although his hands were no less skilled as well.

"Miss Bella, did Grandpa pay you to keep flattering me?" cananda Almira's.

"Huh, you really think I'm bullshit."

Miss Bella said as she ruffled her waist. He was ceaselessly looking at the bride in front of him. Women who are currently using a classic white wedding kebaya modern look very charming, like a princess. He just needed to add a simple makeup, and it looked perfect.

Kebaya bride with long arms, the neck is in the form of the letter 'V', the brocade is so detailed combined with matching accessories, very beautiful. It fits perfectly with Almira's white, slender and not too tall body.

"Ck." Bella clucked while surrounding Almira.

"You really look elegant and graceful. I wouldn't believe it if people said that you were born into an ordinary family, let alone an orphanage" she said, shaking her head.

"The aura you have is even better than the upper-class women I've had before" she said.

Almira finally chuckled. He was powerless to ignore the woman who still looked childish at her ripe age. "Miss Bella is too joking and too exaggerated."

Almira looked at the sweet-faced lady of the skillful hand owner. Women who managed to become the first MUA top at a relatively young age, since five years ago. His posture was slightly higher than that of Almira, with his short hair being slightly curly.

"I'm telling the truth." Miss Bella said firmly.

"That means Miss Bella is a great fairy" she said. Almira told the truth. He himself felt a little surprised to see his appearance in the mirror.

However, Miss Bella instead looked at Almira while scowling.

"What did you say? I even just this time felt like there was no use as makeup," she gloomily said.

"You seem to have been born a goddess. So that this much-praised hand of mine is useless."

Miss Bella raises Almira's chin.

"Look, it just takes a little polish and you've looked amazing" he said proudly.

Almira chuckled again. Unexpectedly the mouth of MUA in front of him is as sweet as sugar.

"Miss Bella, don't lick me with that sweet mouth of yours. I really don't have anything" she said again.

"Ah, stop. There's no point in talking to you. Comehere. Sit here, wait for me to put on high heels," he asked as he led Almira to sit on the sofa.

"Wait here ...."

Tok tok!

The sound of knocking on the door broke the conversation between the two of them.

"I will open it" said Miss Bella, rushing to open the door.

Miss Bella looked at a well-dressed middle-aged woman, who was now standing at the door smiling at her.

"Is his Nak Mira inside?" ask the woman. "I want to see him."
