THE FORTUNATES

WEDDING PREPARATIONS

That morning Beatrice was preparing in her room, arrived – arrived Kendrick barged into her room without knocking on the door.

“ Gosh God, you surprised me Ken. Can't you knock on the door? “ snapped Beatrice who was still sitting in front of the dresser combing her hair.

“ Your own fault did not lock the door “ Kendrick chimed in while sitting on the bed beside Beatrice's chair. He held out a black card towards Beatrice.

“ Use to buy what you need “ connect Kendrick again.

“ I use buy shophouses can? “ Beatrice teases Kendrick

“ Buy it, then you become my wife for the rest of your life. You want? “ Kendrick whispered right in Beatrice's ear. The faces of the two were only a few inches away, making Beatrice stunned to hold her breath.

“ Oops. Did I interrupt “ awkward voice Hera shocked both. Making Kendrick flutter then took his face away from Beatrice and stepped out of the plain girl's room.

“ Brother, don't come home tonight – night “ message Kendrick as he crosses his older sister.

“ Beatrice, sorry yes I bother you guys “ said Hera a little hesitant on ‘prospective sister-in-law’ her.

“Ah no kak “ Beatrice realized will be stunned at the treatment of Kendrick just now. Immediately he kept the card given by Kendrick in his wallet, then he put on his long cardigan and grabbed his little bag on the bed.

“ Come brother, I'm ready “ connect Beatrice again.

They immediately went down and headed straight for the parking lot, where Kendrick was also there preparing with his car to go to work. As usual, Clovis and Laura who were always loyal accompanied Kendrick.

“ Good morning Beatrice “ greet Clovis on Beatrice who is starting to approach Hera's car.

“ What? Beatrice? “ Ken arrived – arrived not so get in his car and look at Clovis cynically.

“ Ah, I asked for it Ken. So that we are more familiar “ continued Beatrice before Clovis said anything. Hearing Beatrice's reply, Kendrick got into the car and slammed the door hard.

“ Grumpy base “ murmured Beatrice. While Hera looked at Beatrice with a small smile on her face.

“ You guys are so adorable, let's go “ as soon as Hera turns on her car, Beatrice followed into the car.

Soon the car driven by Hera had arrived in a large shopping area in the city. Then he parked in front of a building, they immediately went down. Seen there is a magnificent building a boutique that is clearly only visited by high-class consumers.

“ Come Beatrice “ Hera swiftly holding Beatrice's hand.

They immediately entered the building, when opening the door Hera was greeted by a slightly feminine man.

“ Mrs Hera, long time no see “ said the man.

“ Hello Tony, this is the candidate for Lady Leandro “ Hera pointed to Beatrice, making Tony a little speechless.

“ Oh, nice to meet you mistress “ guy called Tony earlier extended his hand to Beatrice.

“ Just call Beatrice “ said the girl is shy – shy.

“ Wow, Kendrick is always amazing to surprise the public, I think Ken's wife-to-be is also from the celebrity “ continued Tony as they headed to the fitting room.

“ Don't dare to divulge to the public huh Tony. Or we will move to another designer” snapping Hera while laughing. Then the man moved his hand in front of his lips as if he were locking his mouth.

“ Big madam invisible? “ ask Tony later

“ Mom is having an out of town event with Dad “ said Hera briefly.

Hera and Beatrice then sit on the large white sofa in the room, while Tony enters a room that Beatrice herself does not know what room. A moment later a woman delivered a drink and served a snack at a table near Beatrice and Hera was sitting.

“ Tony has prepared several types of dresses, choose the one you like the most Beatrice. This is a once in a lifetime moment, make sure to choose the best dress. Everything Tony has shown today has never been worn. “ Hera said, sipping her still-warm drink.

“ Brother, is this not excessive? “ by plain Beatrice sounds like resist. Beatrice felt it was quite excessive, considering the cost needed to buy a dress must be quite expensive. Especially for him, this is not a real marriage but the Kendrick family is trying to give their best for him.

“ How exaggerated Beatrice, Kendrick of course want to see you appear more charming “ at a glance Hera stared at Beatrice, true – true plain and simple girl.

“ Mistress please “ heard Tony's voice followed by two employees who pushed the trolley with several dresses attached to the mannequin there.

“ Beatrice choose “ sounds Hera sounds like a command.

Her eyes sparkled when she saw a transparent sabrina-collared white dress with a not-so-long train patterned with flowers that looked very elegant. Beatrice falls in love with the dress, and Hera seems to realize that Beatrice is very fond of her.

“ The dress will look very sweet for you Beatrice “ said Hera while standing close to ‘palat sister-in-law’.

“ Tony, please help Beatrice try her “ again

“ Will Kendrick agree my brother is wearing this? “ looks Beatrice is a bit worried Kendrick opinion.

“ Believe me, she will love whatever you wear “ Hera then encourage Beatrice to enter the dressing room, followed by two other female assistants.

Before long Beatrice came out of the room, some parts were still quite too big for Beatrice's small body size but with the dress Beatrice looked very beautiful and graceful.

“ Wow, indeed Kendrick is not wrong to choose you Mistress, look at Madam very graceful and charming “ Praise Tony.

“ You are very beautiful Beatrice “ Hera interrupts.

“ Is it true Brother? “ Beatrice convinced herself, Hera nodded with a very sincere smile.

Then Beatrice returned to remove the dress she had chosen, Tony immediately measured Beatrice's tiny body.

“ Okay Madam, two more weeks we make sure the dress is fitting with the size of the body of Mrs “ Tony nimble reassure Beatrice.

“ Thank you Tony for his help “ said Beatrice warmly.

Hera and Beatrice leave Tony's boutique to continue their agenda.

    Next Hera brought Beatrice to a mall and immediately took the sweet girl's hand to a famous shoe outlet. Upon seeing Hera and Beatrice enter the booth, a saleswoman approached Hera.

“ Welcome Madam, what shoes does madam need? “ said the waiter politely and with a smile.

“ Bridal Shoes for my sister “ replied Hera briefly.

“ Brother, do you need to buy shoes here? “ again – more plain behavior Beatrice makes Hera smile.

“ What exactly are you worried about Beatrice? Kendrick gave me a lot of money to spend. There choose the one you like “ with a chuckle Hera walked towards the sofa provided specifically for the visitors.

Slow – slowly Beatrice saw dozens of beautiful shoes lined up there, this is the first time into a branded shoe outlet that can – can price one shoe a number of income for one year. Then the perverted eyes of Beatrice glanced at a half d’orsay heels made from ivory-colored satin crepe. On the front until the heels are decorated with beautiful crystal clear – crystals that add to the impression of glamour.

“ It will be very suitable for you Beatrice “ Hera continued as if she knew the heart of Beatrice.

“Is it not too expensive, brother? “ he said half a whisper to Hera.

“ Geez Beatrice, Kendrick will not go bankrupt just because you bought a pair of shoes “ said Hera a little furious but anxious with Beatrice's behavior.

“ Miss, we take this yes “ said Hera in the saleswoman who had followed Beatrice's footsteps.

After Hera pulled Beatrice's hand towards a boutique, Beatrice was again made dumbstruck by Hera's dressy taste. This time he became aware, how far away was actually the distance that stretched between their families. However, the Kendrick family actually treated Beatrice very well.

“ Beatrice, choose some dining gown as well. Surely one day Kendrick will take you to the public, because you will not be able to forever close yourself off from the outside world “ Hera tried to give a little advice to Beatrice. Hearing Hera's words, the little girl only gave a small nod as a sign that she understood what Hera was saying.

“ Are you tired of Beatrice? “ ask Hera when they're in the car.

“ Hahaha, what an exciting day today Brother, thank you Kak Hera “ replied Beatrice while fixing her seat belt.

Hera answered Beatrice with a warm smile, immediately the mother of one child started her car, she brought Beatrice back to her parents' house with groceries that filled the entire trunk of the car and the rear car seat.

“ If for rings and other jewelry, do not worry yes. Kendrick already booked her last time “ Hera's voice broke the silence on the way home.

“ Too much I received Brother, even though I did nothing for Kendrick and for the extended family Ken “ Beatrice became very sad for the many things he got.

“ There's no need to think about Beatrice, just help Kendrick to stay happy. It is more valuable to us “ Hera said sincerely. Then the two looked at each other with a smile that was so warm.
