The Sovereign of the Heart (Bern & Renata)

Bern 73's

"Miss, it's time to pick up Justin" Lindri reminded her boss who was busy arranging flowers.

"Oh, really?"

Quickly Renata woke up and tidied up her clothes. He then looked at the circular clock on his left hand. Time shows at 09:30 am. In half an hour, his son is out of class, but where is Bern?

Did I just call Bern to ask if he had come to pick up Justin or not. He's afraid he's busy, Inner Renata.

"Lindri, please help clear this one up. I want to call Bern first" Renata said as he walked to the table. He then grabbed a cell phone, completely unaware that the speech had just made his employees love the evil smile.

"Ekhmmm, who already has a lover," seduced Lindri with his rancid. Deheman's voice was also followed by his friends.

Renata. And blusshhh, his face flushed instantly as soon as he realized that he was being teased by his own employees. Not wanting these children to get more crazy, Renata decided to move to another room. He was not as fit as it was to face the vanity of Lindri and his other men.

["Hello, honey. What's up?"]

"Emm Bern, Justin is out of class soon. If you'd have known you hadn't accompanied me to pick her up?" ask Renata as soon as the call is connected. His chest immediately palpitated when he heard the voice of this man's baritone.

["I just got in front of the store. Come out. We'll pick up Justin together."]

"So you've arrived?" shocked Renata. Soon he got out of there then picked up the bag lying on the table. Regardless of the pussiness of Lindri and his friends, Renata stepped out of the store with the condition of the phone still attached to the ear.

Seeing his future wife appear, Bern immediately turned off the call then waved his hand. His position was now standing leaning towards the car door.

"We're just leaving, Bern. Afraid that Justin might cry when we're late,"

"All right," said Bern. Without feeling the slightest awkward Bern holding Renata's hand then invite him into the car through the side door.

As usual, Bern attentively attached the seatbelt to Renata's body before he followed in. Once ready, the car immediately rolled towards the building where their son studied.

"Darling, there was someone at the store who came to see you?" bern asked as the car stopped at a red light. He asked while looking closely at Renata's face which looked extremely beautiful. Natural beauty with no makeup on her face.

"No, Bern. Only flower buyers come to the store" Renata replied. "If you may know why you're asking me this. Do you have an appointment with someone?"

"Yesterday, Mom and Dad told me that I'd come to the store to see you and Justin. I thought they had come. That's why I asked,"

"Uncle Gabrielle and Aunt Elea want to come?"

"Yes. They love our son so much. Also because Justin will soon be part of the Ma family. So don't be surprised if after this one by one my extended family will often appear in the store. They're very curious about you and our son!"

Deg

Bern's extended family? What is this, huh? Why did those words sound familiar to Renata's ears? How strange. The feeling is so de ja vu. As if inviting Renata to remember something he had done before.

"Darling, I've reserved a restaurant for us to have lunch. And the plan is there I'll bring our parents together. I intend to formalize our relationship this month. You mind not?" ask Bern to the point.

"W-what? You want to bring our parents together? Today?" pekik Renata shock. His eyes widened so shocked to hear Bern's words just now.

"Yes. Why the hell?"

"But, Bern. Don't you think it's too soon? I even approved your proposal this morning. Why do we suddenly want to meet our parents?"

Bern sighed. He forgot to tell Renata that this morning he had invited Uncle Max and Aunt Nandira to have lunch with his family.

"Darling, I told our parents this morning that we were going to have lunch together. And I forgot to tell you. Sorry yes,"

"So Mom and Dad knew about this?"

"Already,"

"Oh my God," ....

Renata's hand moved rubbing her face. Honestly, he was shocked. Bern's moving too fast.

"My mom says it's not good to procrastinate on something that leads to good. So I think that speeding up our marriage will make you feel happy. But looking at your reaction right now it seems like you're not happy with this plan. Sorry because I made a unilateral decision. Later after I get to Justin's school I'll cancel our family meeting!" bern said lethargic. His renata showed a reluctant reaction to get married fast. And inevitably Bern has to appreciate that.

"Bern, don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying I disagree with your plan. I'm just surprised that suddenly you want to bring our family together. Please don't be angry?" sahut Renata panicked to see Bern sulking. It's critical.

"I'm not angry at all. Just sad,"

"Then don't be sad anymore. I agree with your plan. We will meet a big family to discuss our marriage. Okay?"

"You really agree?"

Renata nodded his head quickly. It was good to see this man smiling again. Emboldened, Renata grabbed one of Bern's hands and held it tightly. He then smiled as Bern was shocked to see what he had done.

"Sometimes I'm not used to your attitude of not wasting time. Everything feels so fast to me. It started with our accidental meeting, and then continued with you taking me home to your parents. It all felt like a dream to me, Bern. It's hard to believe that I'm getting married soon. Really,"

"But you don't regret not marrying a man with a bad past like me?" ask Bern to make sure. It felt like he was flying in the clouds getting sweet treatment from Renata.

"Bern, the past that has happened in your life has absolutely nothing to do with me. Let it be your affair with Amora. You know me as your future. Because basically the past and the present are two very different things. You used to be happy with Amora, and now you're going to be happy with Renata. I hope you can distinguish these two things. Let me get to know you as a new Bern, not someone unfinished with his past!"

Ren, but in reality you and the past are interconnected. You are the same person, and I am still with the same love. You used to be named Amora, and now your name is Renata. But me, I'm still Bern who depends so much on your love. The world may turn, but my feelings for you will never change. I love you, Amora ....
