The Beloved Barbaric Wife of the CEO

Weddings

Litania was looking at herself in front of the mirror. Resisting the anxiety that has been dwelling for the past ten days. After an accidental encounter with Chandra, he is completely dispirited. Must accept engagement and now be ready to stand in front of the penghulu.

Exhaling a long breath, the white-clad Litania tried to re-raise the lowered shoulder.

"My fate is so gini, yak. Kayak entered into the era of Siti Nurbaya aja," he murmured. Squeeze the tissue and throw it into the trash.

Looking back at herself in the mirror, Litania learned to carve out a smile. He was so runaway, to the extent that the makeup decoration that had wrapped his face, could not show its magic. How can it be radiant and beautiful if the owner of the face moping?

Litania sighed long. Thinking of her fate that will soon become a wife. The companion of the man who used to be his idol. However, different this time, his love for Chandra had already faded as time passed. I love to change my hate to remember the pain he experienced. The concern when he was small and the severity of Chandra who was at the scene did not care and just left.

"The men are heartless." Supporting her chin with her palm resting on the elbow on the table, Litania again let out a long sigh. "Aparent, anyway."

Before long, the sound of knocking on the door blew away Litania's daydream. Sita who was wrapped in brown kebaya approached him.

"Why don't you come out? The others are waiting, you know. His qabulnya soon." Sita said in a soft tone, then held onto Litania's shoulder and looked at the beautiful face from the mirror reflection. "You're so pretty. Grandma did not expect, Grandma's granddaughter who was once small is now grown. Time is passing by."

"But, Grandma ...."

Sita developed a smile and fixed the bun decoration neatly arranged on Litania's head. "Why? Do you still disagree with this marriage?"

Holding the granny's wrinkled hands, Litania returned the smile. Seemed a trace of sadness in the pull of his lips. "Sir, Grandma. Just ...." Litania stopped the word. Only a long breath came out of his mouth. Showing how desperate he is with the situation.

Sita crouches. He held onto Litania's hand and looked into her eyes fixedly. "Litan, sorry Grandma. This was all set up a dozen years ago. Your marriage to Chandra has been approved by your late grandfather and Chandra's father."

"But how can you, Grandma. I was a kid and he was an adult. Our ages are far away."

"So, that's what Grandma's asking, too. Your grandfather said you'd be happy with that family." Exhaling a sigh full of regret, Sita again continued the word, "Actually, Grandma same Lita had forgotten the agreement. But, it seems like fate does require you to be his wife."

Sita sighed again. Look into the eyes of the grandson who is already glazed. "Accept this wedding with a chest, yeah. Grandma sure, Chandra will treat you well. Let alone Lita, she seems to like you."

Silencing for a moment, Litania digested the words of the grandmother. Destiny? Yes, the strange reality that made him forced to carve a bland smile. He who is young must face a matchmaking situation that he never imagined before. An unplanned situation. He grew up as a teenager and Chandra was not married at an old age.

What kind of fate is that? Litania's entrenched, upset.

"Good, Grandma. I'll work on it."

While in the living room, Chandra looks riled up in his seat. Looking around with a blank look. I wish someone would free him from the stupidity he made himself. Ever since meeting Litania, her life has been turned upside down in the blink of an eye. He who had lied to Arkan, now had to swallow a bitter pill due to the stupid charade. Arkan reveals his wedding to all his old friends. Apes, the lie was heard by the board of directors.

Chandra did not dwell, he who had just been appointed as CEO, was mobbed by shareholders. Demanding her is liable because an undisclosed marriage makes the value of the stock decrease and the name of the company tainted.

Crazy, I think I'm going crazy. Chandra takes off the skullcap and massages the temple. I glanced at the mother who smiled broadly at him.

"Don't be nervous" whispered Lita.

Ah, I'm just gonna die. I'll put where my face is. Others*pas**ti will mock me.

It didn't take long. The sacred event was completed properly. Chandra smoothly mentions the qabul ijab without stammering. Sumi's humble house bears witness to the wedding. Unlocked single status as husband.

****

Her night.

The euphoria of the party is so pronounced inside the hall of a five-star hotel. The guests present consisted of several business associates and colleagues. They were so engrossed in such endless chatter. While the waiter, busy passing by carrying out their respective duties.

Pecking, Lita deliberately scattered the daydreams of the child and his daughter-in-law.

"You're rich sick people who are dying, you know. Don't kayak that, lah. People will gossip that is not cool," he whispered while pretending to justify the Chandra tie that is still hanging neatly.

"But, Ma—"

Glaring, Lita managed to silence the mouth of Chandra who wanted to protest. "Don't argue, it's your fault. Why spread gossip too. Rich in gini, new. Now it's responsibility, dong. The same company is also Litania," continued Lita. Now he's walking towards Litania. Pretending to justify the long dress that Litania was wearing. "Middle of the night starts the process of making the baby, yeah."

Carving out a smile, Lita did not feel at all guilty after saying that vulgar word. Making Litania and Chandra only able to say "Mama" almost simultaneously.

The clock shows ten o'clock at night. Litania, Chandra, Lita and Bram Space— her father Chandra—travel the aisles of the hotel where they stayed.

Opening the door with a key card, Chandra invites Litania into the bridal room that has been conjured in such a way. The fragrant room immediately welcomed their presence.

Smiling amiably, Litania flipped over the body. Looking at the figure of Chandra's parents. "Ma, Pa, Litan went in the room first, huh?"

"Yes, just go in." Lita was still in a standing position in front of the room.

Frowning, Chandra spoke up. "Well, Daddy wants to sleep here too?" ask Chandra, subtly insinuating. Both of his parents did not move at all. They are tired and want to rest quickly.

Pulling the husband's suit, Lita commented on the clumsy smile. He only realized that their existence even interferes with the privacy of his daughter-in-law. "Yes, sorry, Mama forgot." Smiling a snail, Lita brought the face closer to Chandra. "Tonight gaspoll, yeah. Let me be super," he whispered.

"Mrs ...." Chandra massage temples. Surprised by the words of the mother who was not far from the word 'making love.'

Chuckling, Bram also spoke. "Yes, don't delay. Mama and Papa already want to spend nimang grandkids."

Unable to hold back any longer, Litania immediately took three steps back. Hearing the talk of the parents and the child made him feel uncomfortable. As if forcing him to quickly multiply. Which really is. I don't want to be a mama at this young age, Inner Litania.

Glancing at Chandra's back in front of him, Litania again sat there, let alone her child. No. .. I don't want to, period.
