Second to Me and to You

son-in-law

🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀

Valerie's beautiful face at a young age always carves a smile when seeing the interaction between Alice and her son, even her granddaughter is present only to disturb Edwards who is trying to spoil her with Alice. They look like a small family that is harmonious, full of laughter, and joy, as well as Thomas, they both hold each other to see the harmony that will be created from the marriage of Alice and Edwards.

Alice painstakingly prepared food to give to Edwards and Darren. Alice immediately chose a side dish favored by Edwards and Darren. Alice's attitude that was so attentive to Edwards and Darren made Valerie and Thomas moved, holding a day in each other's minds

" Mom "

" Dad "

" What's up ? "

" What's wrong with Alice" Alice stared at her overall appearance

" Now "

" There's rice here" said Edwards tricking Alice who was sitting next to Alice

" Where, baby ? " Say Alice while turning her seat towards Edwards

Cup...... Edwards gives a kiss by developing a smile, because he managed to deceive Alice

Plakkc.... Alice patted Edwards' thigh, making Edwards chuckle

" Ih "

" You are, gold "

" You see tuh, shy dong "

" In front of mommy and daddy "

" There is Darren" said Alice, pursing her lips, holding her shame before Edwards' nuclear family

" Yes "

" Don't be so dong, Ed "

" You put us to shame, you know not" Thomas said

" So you're embarrassed "

" How have I been since the toddler seen you guys ..... " Edwards said hanging as Thomas and Valerie glanced at Edwards with their eyes fixed on him

" It's been "

" Let's start eating "

" I'm hungry" Darren said enthusiastically

" Yes already, brother began to lead the prayer" said Edwards

" What is your brother ? " Valerie said curiously, as did Thomas

" Yes "

" Later Darren will definitely have a few younger siblings "

" Daddy asks Darren to learn to be a brother, starting from Darren's greeting "

" The Granny "

" Grandpa" said Darren with a smile, if everyone smiled, Alice lowered her face in shame, even the red hue on Alice's face was clearly visible to make everyone laugh at Alice's behavior

" It's been "

" It's been "

" You're making my son-in-law ashamed "

" We'll just start lunch "

" Let's start, 'bang" said Thomas who had changed his greeting to Darren

They finish their lunches voraciously, the food on Edwards' and Darren's plates is left unnoticed, not because Alice cooked the dish, but Alice's presence in their lives , warm the mood at Thomas's mansion, and at Edwards' Mansion. Edwards' attitude that has opened up to both parents, as well as the attitude of his parents Edwards who no longer bring Edwards' past, they all improved in the relationship. Similarly, two large families who have been in conflict for years because there are some family conflicts that are not resolved due to lack of communication, a remarkable thing for the extended family Winston and Richard, he said, where the presence of Alice can unite the friendship that had been cut off. This is certainly a golden opportunity for Thomas and Valerie to not waste getting Alice who looks so fond of Darren and loves Edwards.

Today's lunch was a joyous one for the whole family, including the other occupants of Thomas's mansion of butlers, servants, bodyguards, and chauffeurs, among others, even Thomas' personal assistant was happy to see the laughter of the Thomas family members that he had not seen in years, Michael looked at his master who continued to develop a smile, echoing a faint smile

" It just so happens you came, Mike "

" Let's join in " said Thomas with a happy twinkle, when he accidentally looked at Michael, listening to the sentence of the invitation to lunch, Michael felt condolent, but the residents of the house forced him to join, of course, his own satisfaction for Michael, feeling part of the Winston family.

They ate lunch by applying table manner, but occasionally Alice still often forgets the manner table procedures, and must be warned by Edwards. Edwards taught Alice quite hard in some ways as an elite, or highclass, because she was one day Edwards' wife, and was part of the Winston and Richard families, of course, it is mandatory for Alice to accompany Edwards at important events, and prestigious, although later Alice must cover her face with a mask or mask on the grounds to protect Alice, there is another hidden purpose.

Alice does not mind the way Edwards gives Alice new knowledge, since Alice has amnesia, Alice must start learning from the beginning like a toddler who does not know anything, starting from talking, ' she said , because since Alice woke up from the coma, Alice did not understand what people were talking about, so Alice only gave the code through movement, even though her mouth spoke, so she just gave the code, but others did not understand what he was saying, but for Alice he understood what he was saying, and it turns out from there the doctor told the family if Alice needed treatment from the beginning. Alice is like a white paper, and should be guided, therefore Edwards and Darren give all the new stories for Alice, giving Alice a variety of knowledge, because Alice does not remember anything, and if forced is very bad for Alice, and the doctor does not know what the impact, depending on the patient's condition, whether he is able to accept the thing that makes him shaken or not. Therefore Edwards and Darren do not want that to happen to Alice, especially Darren who from the beginning asked Edwards to marry Alice immediately, because Alice is the woman Darren wants to accompany Edwards' life.

After they had finished enjoying lunch, they immediately moved towards the living room, there they were in the congregation by Thomas and Valerie, the warm atmosphere, suddenly turned gripping, looks from the eyes of Thomas who was serious looking at the beautiful face of Alice, looking at the handsome face of Darren and Edwards, witnessed by Michael. The event was formally titled, because it is currently the process by which Alice and Edwards ask for blessing to both Edwards' parents

" Mom "

" Currently "

" Edwards, Alice, and Darren visit your mansion on purpose "

" To ask for your blessing to both of you "

" Ed implore mommy and daddy to bless our relationship "

" We both plan to get married in a few days" Edwards said politely

A few more days ?

Didn't mass Edwards say, will be married in a few months, said Alice in her heart, who was unaware by Alice if the change in facial expression makes everyone wonder

" Why are you, Alice ? "

" Are you suddenly unwilling to marry Edwards" Valerie said curiously

" Mom - ma'am - that's not it, Mom "

" Edwards said "

" We're getting married in a few months "

" And it was just that Edwards said a few more days" said Alice nervously. And explaining from Alice made everyone laugh out loud

" Edwards wants to unbox you soon, Alice "

" He has not been unboxing for a long time, so he will not waste time just waiting for Khotib to ride the pulpit" said thomas teasing his son, of course making Valerie hold back her laughter, similarly to Michael, even Darren who in his twenties smiled - his own smile held back laughter because it understood the intent of Thomas.

" it's already "

" don't be seduced anymore dong, our future daughter-in-law, dear" said Valerie responding to the action of the husband's ignorant

" well, okay "

" Daddy and Mommy bless your marriage "

" alright, keep the love in your heart "

" the point is complementary, without reproaching, giving and receiving anything is both joy and sorrow, "

" that's all Daddy's message "

" may this be your marriage forever to age together" Thomas said, making Alice and Edwards nod their heads

" promise me "

" Alic " Alice "

" promise us, to always trust the affection we give you sincerely "

" promise never to leave Edwards, Darren and your children" Valerie said with a sad face, leaving Alice sitting on the floor in front of Valerie

" Alice promised "

" wouldn't disappoint mommy and Daddy "

" Alice will always be with the Edwards, and our children "

" believe, and love all of you all of Alice's soul" said Alice looking at Valerie's bead with love and affection. Valerie grabbed Alice's body, clutching it with full force, making everyone feel overwhelmed by Valerie and Alice's behavior

" is the drama ? " said Thomas, interrupting Alice and Valerie's behavior, of course making Valerie land a crab stamp on Thomas's body, the sound of pain escaped on Thomas' lips made everyone hold back her laughter, thomas endured the shame of Valerie's treatment in the presence of her children and grandchildren, even her future son-in-law.
