THE FORTUNATES

THE KENDRICKS

There was a knock on the door from Beatrice's front room, then she pulled the door handle and saw a masked man with a hat and sunglasses like Kendrick usually. Aye! Indeed Kendrick who came, they will talk about the contract so that it requires privacy so that no one else heard. Beatrice invited Kendrick to sit down, then he sat down on a chair beside the bed and Beatrice followed him while giving mineral water to the man who had opened the mask. Kendrick held out a brown envelope that he had just taken out of his handbag.

“Read “.

    Then Beatrice began to read chapter by chapter very carefully, starting from the duties and responsibilities of each – each in running the role of husband and wife. Things – things they must do together, right – rights that will be received by each – deal maker and even listed there article of protection for both of them. Also includes the article on – things that should not be done with each other.

“ Wait, we sleep in the same room? “ Beatrice starts commenting. Kendrick crossed his arms and looked at Baetrice sharply.

“ Is not in this agreement physical contact only valid in public? Like hand in hand, but we got to have one room? “ connect Beatrice again.

“ Beatrice, this wedding is only the two of us who know the details while in my house there are several maids and they are my mother's people. Sometimes some Team Make Up Artist even Clovis also spend the night there. So if we're different rooms isn't that very suspicious? “ Kendrick provides defense.

  “ Trust Beatrice I won't do anything bad to you. Look in the agreement you can report me to the police when I do bad things. “.

    This time the decision made by Beatrice was very rash, it was not usual for her to do everything recklessly like this. This even had a tremendous impact on Beatrice's long-term future.

But in fact it was only a while he considered it can immediately give an answer ‘ yes ‘ .

“ So I have to stop working? “ Beatrice confirms and Kendrick nods.

 “You can do everything you like, then are you not curious about the living expenses I will give you?  “ Kendrick connect.

  “ I do not do this for money, many people depend on his life working in Basanta. We have fought day and night tirelessly so that our products sell hard in the market. We hang our lives from selling it Ken, I just don't want your scandal to hurt us “ Beatrice said sharply while re-reading article – of the other chapter, while Kendrick looked at Beatrice in astonishment.

    Finally both parties have agreed to sign the agreement that is quite crazy then keep each – copies of the agreement. Because it has been signed, there is no reason to withdraw from the agreement made.  They must be able to accept each other in their lives even though in reality they are only strangers. The rash decision that was very easily taken by these two young men, married.

“ Ken, how can your story get my HP number and contact me? “ujar Beatrice arrived – arrived because it felt awkward Kendrick could get my number.

“ Didn't you write down your HP number yesterday? You send it to Clovis and I still save it“.

“ Alright, let's go “ Kendrick continued then woke up from his seat, back wearing his disguise accessories.

    Twenty-five minutes drive they arrived at a magnificent house building, once Kendrick had his car horn the gate as high as about – about two meters open automatically. When entering the house they are greeted by a fountain with colorful – lights illuminating the garden. Kendrick stopped his car on the side of the house that was functioning as a parking lot.

This meeting really made Beatrice very drunk, she had never had a meeting like this before. The woman tried to calm herself down, let out a long sigh and tried to look relaxed. Upon entering the house Beatrice began to tidy up the folds of the blouse that she put into the mocca-colored midi skirt that she wore tonight. Then he grabbed a fruit parcel in the back seat that he accidentally bought on the way to Kendrick's parents' house.

    Kendrick grabbed Beatrice's soft hand and led her into the warm cream house. Beatrice stared at the hands of those who were clinging to each other, Kendrick was very total in playing his role as a dream girlfriend. In the guest room already seen Father and Mother Kendrick sitting welcoming the arrival of the lovers. From noon Kendrick's mother can't wait for a woman to be introduced to her. Kendrick's mother was most worried about the scandal that befell her beloved son. So that the mother of two children has promised to accept any woman who will be Kendrick's choice.

“ Good evening Madam and Mrs “ said Beatrice respectfully as she reached out to shake her hands. Kendrick's mother grabbed her hand quickly then smiled very warmly.

“ Welcome Miss, please sit “ then Beatrice immediately handed me the fruit parcel she brought and received by Ms. Kendrick with a smile.

“ Ma'am as I said earlier this afternoon, introduce her to my girlfriend Beatrice. We've been dating for the past year, actually yesterday at the amusement park I wanted to introduce Hera directly, but because of Rachel's missing incident I kept her locked up. Beatrice also found Rachel that day Bu “, Kendrick told some of their lies.

“ A year ? Then why don't we all know? Even Clovis doesn't know? “ cut out Kendrick's Dad.

“ Sorry Sir, because this is my wish to keep our relationship a secret. I'm a very ordinary woman, I'm just a regular employee at a fashion company where Kendrick is our brand ambassador, my appearance is also very ordinary. So is the situation of my family that is very simple so I do not want to make things difficult for Kendrick Mr. “ replied Beatrice politely.

“ I also don't want anything bad to happen to Father Beatrice, so we agreed to keep this a secret.

Beatrice is also not comfortable if you have to go to and fro highlighted by many eyes and media “ Kendrick reassured while embracing the shoulders of the ‘wanitanya’.

“ Ken, I assure you again that this is not your wits – reason alone because the gossip is circulating again is not it ? “ Mother Kendrick insists.

“ Mom still not sure if I'm a normal guy? If Mom is still not sure, just marry me to Beatrice soon “ Kendrick replied with confidence. Kendrick's parents never expected that her son would say that. Because since breaking up from Regina Altair, Kendrick seems not interested in married life. But this time? Instead, he himself asked to be married to Beatrice.

“ Is Miss Beatrice ready? Has Kendrick seen your parents Miss Beatrice? “ replied Kendrick's father immediately.

    After a while they talked, Hera, Kendrick's sister and her husband and Rachel came.

“ Grandma “ call Rachel when entering the house. Then the little girl ran off her Grandma's lap, draping her hands on the neck of the middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful and fit. Kendrick's mother kissed her granddaughter with love.

“ Ah! Balloon aunt? Why here ? “ said the girl when she saw Beatrice sitting there, Beatrice waved and smiled at Rachel.

    Kendrick's mother then stood up to Beatrice, then patted her hands on the back and took Beatrice to another room. Kendrick's mother took her to the dining room and was followed by Hera, while Kendrick and Husband Hera with Kendrick's father chatted – talk in the family room.

“ Miss Beatrice, so is it true Kendrick said that you guys are dating? To bring our family to dinner together? How are your legs Nona“ said Hera arrived – arrived when she saw Beatrice helping her mother compose fruit.

“ True Mistress, actually my main destination to this city because Kendrick wants to introduce me to his family. So we took the same flight schedule, but unexpected things happened at the airport. Also time at the amusement park, we promised to meet at the foodcourt that afternoon. Just because Rachel disappeared and I happened to find and I saw Madam very panicked, we undo our initial intentions Madam. My leg is just a sprain Mistress, this has improved greatly thanks to Doctor Jung. “ explained Beatrice explained the storyline that Kendrick made during the discussion of the marriage agreement this afternoon. Hera seemed to take a long breath.

“ How did you guys initially date? “ continued.

“ Kendrick is one of the product brand ambassador in my company working Mistress, we often met accidentally and starting from there we became familiar and finally decided to date a year later Mrs “ Beatrice looked into Hera's eyes full of confidence hoping Hera did not hesitate.

“ Meeting once Kendrick hide your existence, from now on do not call me Madam, just Hera “ continued the mother of one child. Beatrice breathed a sigh of relief to be able to pass the full first stage of drama and story – story of conception. There will still be many lies that may be created again in his future life with Kendrick.

    At about seven o'clock they dined together in a dining room that felt very warm, Kendrick family supported each other. Even the looks of both parents and older brother Kendrick quite accept the existence of Beatrice. Every now and then they asked Beatrice questions and joked, today is not as scary as Beatrice had imagined.

“ Then, two months is enough to prepare your wedding? “ heard arrived – arrived the voice of Kendrick's father amid the warmth of the night. Kendrick smiled as if relieved his plan was going very smoothly, his father's estimate will give three months was faster than he expected.

“ Two months it feels more than enough Daddy “ replied Kendrick briefly.

“Then the concept of what kind of wedding your dream is Beatrice “ Mother Kendrick interjected. Beatrice is confused

you have to answer what, because he hasn't had time to talk to Kendrick before. For a moment Beatrice seemed to be thinking of a plan that might indeed be her dream when she married.

“ Mistress, I just want a simple and warm wedding without inviting many guests. Enough intimate concept wedding, so it feels only need to be attended by family and close relatives only “ Beatrice try to find a safe concept for ‘weddingnya’ with this Kendrick.

“Also, a wedding that was not attended by journalists so that we have the right privacy – is really awake Mrs “.

    Then Hera who was sitting next to Beatrice grabbed Beatrice's hand gently, and grasped it tight enough and smiled.

“ Welcome to our family Beatrice, we will always be by your side and support you. Thank you for healing Kendrick from her great heartbreak “, said Rachel's Mother. The word ‘heartbroken great’ that was just thrown by Hera made Beatrice very curious and felt quite disturbed. His mind began to be uncontrollable, a million questions were in his mind.

“ Brother, it's been me and Beatrice agreed not to bring the past in our relationship “ sidelines Kendrick pitched a little upset to make Beatrice undo her intention to ask. Mom and Dad smiled and looked at Beatrice as if to say welcome.

    The Kendrick family very well received Beatrice, precisely their kindness and warmth made Beatrice feel guilty because of the reason – will marriage with this agreement. It was as if he was betraying their sincerity and happiness.

    The night is getting late when Beatrice says goodbye, she will return to the hotel to clean up her – things and continue her trip that was delayed because of Kendrick with her life problems. Beatrice withdrew from their home and said that tomorrow she would return to her city.

“ Good evening Mr, Mrs, Mr Travis and Brother Hera thank you for the reception and dinner. I will soon visit back “ saying petite woman whose height is just a boat Kendrick it. Then Kendrick's mother hugged Beatrice while patting her back lightly.

“ Call us Mom and Dad, because you are part of our family. We are very much waiting for your arrival, there are still many things we need to do to get to know each other more in “, said Ms. Kendrick. Beatrice nodded after she let go of her embrace, and Hera also gave Beatrice a warm hug. What a fun family.

    Shortly after driving Kendrick's car stopped in front of the hotel occupied by Beatrice, he immediately released his seatbelt and then prepared to go down.

“ Thank you, the first half passed well. “ Kendrick said as he turned to Beatrice.

“ Thanks to your warm family I was able to pass well “seen the look of a guilty face born on Beatrice's face.

“ Heart – hearts for tomorrow trip, sorry I can not drive you because I have some schedule from morning. Call me if you leave and have arrived in your city “ continued Kendrick again. Suddenly Beatrice's heart felt a little rustling, he felt as if – if they were right – right like people who are dating.

“ I must have told you, good night “ Beatrice immediately got out of Kendrick's car and entered the hotel.
