THE UNBREAKABLE RIDE

CHAPTER 23

"Simple example like this." said the pastor.

"You married your boyfriend because you wanted to protect him from the people who harassed him" he continued.

"Your marriage will feel very colorful with all your struggles to protect your wife." added the pastor.

"But have you ever thought about what if the person who bullied him was no more?" ask the old priest. Andro jerks.

"What if all of a sudden your life becomes very smooth and without conflict?" ask the priest again. Andro and Julia fell silent.

"Your life will turn monotonous and very boring, because you are used to fighting with the teaser!" said the old priest. The priest looked at Andro and Julia in turn.

"Are you still going to love each other?" tanyakanya. Andro looked at Julia for a moment, Julia looked at Andro.

"The marriage you are going to have is not just for a year or two, but for the rest of your life" the pastor said. Julia lowered her head, she sighed softly. Everything the priest said was true and it scared Julia, he is afraid that someday Andro will feel bored with him or no longer have feelings for him because at first Andro did not have any feelings for him, he said, Andro can be by his side because Julia is forcing him to enter into his family's conflict even though Andro does not want to interfere at that time.

"I'm not scaring you, but that's life!" the priest suddenly said.

"Feelings of love can change at any time if you don't manage to nurture them" he continued. Julia breathed once more.

"I only have it, pastor!" andro suddenly. The priest frowned.

"You mean?" ask the priest.

"I have no family, if I marry him, he will be my only family!" obviously Andro. The priest looked a little surprised to hear Andro's words.

"What about your parents?" ask priest. Andro shakes.

"They died almost a year ago" Andro said. Julia looked at Andro carefully, she only found out that Andro's parents had not died long ago, she realized that Andro was very closed about his family.

"I don't know him very much!" julia said in her heart.

"You don't have any other family members, like an uncle or aunt?" ask the priest again. Andro shakes. Julia flinched, but Andro had a cousin, but he didn't admit it.

"Why is he lying?" inner Julia.

"What about you, miss?" ask the old priest to Julia.

"Gee!" Julia was surprised by the impromptu question, she sighed slowly.

"I have a stepfather who is currently in a coma and an older stepbrother who has always disturbed my life, pastor!" Julia. The priest looked very surprised.

"So that teaser you're telling me is your stepbrother?" tanyakanya. Julia and Andro nodded their heads.

"I have some wounds on my body as a result of the torture inflicted by my half-brother, the pastor!" i'm Julia. His voice sounded a little heavy and trembling. Andro stroked the back of Julia's hand, realizing that Julia was always terrified whenever she revealed her dark life.

"Before, no one had ever dared to protect me and it was Brother Andro who first did it!" said Julia. Julia took a slow breath back.

"I'm so afraid that I'll have to live the next life without Andro's brother, pastor!" continued. The old priest looked at Julia carefully.

"No one else will protect me!" Julia is starting to look a little emotional.

"It's okay if one day he gets tired of seeing me, I'll keep 'sticking' to him for the rest of my life, pastor!" Julia. The priest smiled gently.

"Well, if you are sure of each other, I will help you with your marriage in this church!" the old priest said slowly. Andro and Julia look rough.

"But, at least bring some people who will be witnesses to your marriage!" pinta.

...

Julia asks Andro to drive her somewhere and he ends up stopping Andro's bike in front of a grocery store. Yep! It was the grocery store where Julia and Andro met for the second time.

"Why are we here?" andro was confused.

"Didn't the pastor say that we should bring people to our marriage as witnesses?" hatch Julia.

"People who know me and my life besides you are Hendro's father and mother!" revealed.

"I want them to be witnesses of our marriage!" added Julia. Andro fell silent, he remembered the grocery store owner's request to him to look after Julia but then Andro refused.

Julia knocked on the door beside the grocery store, and Andro waited for a while, then knocked on the door again when no 1 person came out from behind the door. Soon someone turned the door lock from the inside, and a middle-aged woman appeared from behind the door.

"Julia!" exclaimed Hendro's mother, the owner of the grocery store.

"Good night, mother!" greet Julia, she threw her best smile to Miss Hendro. Ms. Hendro hugged Julia tightly.

"Where have you been, son?" ask Hendro. The old woman looked very worried about Julia.

"I was fired by Miss Rita, ma'am!" Julia.

"How is that possible?!" exclaimed Hendro did not believe.

"Sister Denis made a mess at the restaurant, so Miss Rita fired me and I had to run away from Denis again" Julia said.

"Geez, kid! So, where do you live now?" ask Hendro. Julia had not been able to answer his question, Miss Hendro turned to Andro, he only realized that there was Andro there.

"Hey, you!" shaken surprised. Andro bent his body a little to say hello to Hendro.

"You guys came together?" ask Hendro. Andro nodded his head. Miss Hendro watched Andro and Julia take turns.

"Did something happen to you?" ask Hendro. Julia glanced at Andro.

"We're getting married!" answer Andro briefly. Andro's words immediately made Hendro's mother surprised, he looked at Andro carefully.

"Don't you say you're not going to interfere with Julia's business?" ask the plain Hendro. Julia looked at Andro carefully. Andro felt intimidated by Hendro's question and Julia's gaze, finally lowering his head without saying anything.

"I forced him to interfere with my problems, ma'am!" i'm Julia. Andro sighed.

"She was stuck with my complicated life, so now she chose to marry me!" julia in a joking tone.

"But I didn't marry her forcibly!" andro hatch.
