kanaya was still staring at herself in the mirror. Is it all real or just a dream. It was not appropriate for her to cry on this sacred day.

"is she ready ??" mother Kanaya came in to him who was amazed in front of the dresser. "already bun. pray strong kanaya yaa" kanaya hugged her mother teary eyes.no matter what her face will be like. all she needed was support to always be strong.Mother kanaya rubbed gently on her daughter's head.


"i accept the marriage and marriage of princess mochtar bint arifin mochtar with the dowry in cash." a boisterous voice greeted with a prayer of gratitude echoed in the ballroom of one of the famous hotels in Jakarta. Kanaya welcomed the hand of the man who is now her husband. Hardian wicaksana the name of the man he just met 2x when the proposal and marriage contract. without a smile kanaya welcome congratulations from the guests who attended the wedding party. his heart did not want the marriage, he only wanted to obey his father and his mother as his time as a child.


"i want to take a shower first yaa." the loud voice broke the silence in the room as Kanaya was trying to open the decoration on her head. "iya" replied Kanaya briefly without turning her head and was still busy with her makeup.


"there's something I want to talk to you about." hardian approached the kanaya who was preparing to go to sleep. "what's the matter?" kanaya answered while tying her long hair. "we married because we were betrothed.and I know this must be heavy for you and me. I want us to be ordinary without any feelings. because I can't love you yet.don't feel burdened with the status of a wife.because I won't ask what of you.just keep my good name and my family." hardian stared fixedly at the face of the woman who had just become his wife. "may I make a request??" kanaya asked as she looked hardian in the eyes. "what??" hardian nodded as he folded his hands. "permit me to stay with my parents." hardian frowned. "I want us to stay at my parents' house.I am an only child. I'm not used to being away from my father sm mother. I asked you to agree to my request this time." kanaya continued her words as if she knew hardian was quite curious about her request. "okeeee. tomorrow we go home." hardian agreed to kanaya's request. gladly left the hardian who was preparing to sleep on the sofa.That night felt strange to kanaya and hardian.the first night they slept in one room. and they never knew each other before, I don't know how many nights they would spend together without feeling love.
