The Whisper Of The Sea

Vol 61s

Leona came home angry and nagged, she did not expect Edmund would register themselves for the mass wedding, he was not at all ready to get married, let alone his age of 20 years. After storing the belongings, he sat in front of his porch waiting for the arrival of Edmund who Leona accidentally left when in the market.

"Why is he so long? did something happen?" Leona said worriedly.

Leona finally headed back to the market when it had been 15 minutes waiting and did not see Edmund anywhere. He looked for her and saw her talking to men who were preparing for the festival by holding banners and decorative lights along the village, Edmund was interested in what they were doing, he was looking for busyness, compared to if he came back and just sat on the porch of the house and thought about the city of Cambridge or looked at Leona who lately started teasing him.

"Edmund? What are you doing here?" Shouted Leona from a distance.

Edmund waved his hand. He immediately ran over to Leona. "Take this and take it home." Her speech.

"Where are you going?"

"I want to help them, at least train my muscles to move, I haven't exercised for a long time."

"Tch, okay but don't make trouble." Leona said as she lifted up the things Edmund had placed on the ground.

"Look who's talking, don't you like to make trouble? I'll be back in the afternoon, and remember jagan went to the garden." The man then returned to the men who were gathering and working on something there, Leona noticed him, she looked happy and laughed with the young men.

"It looks like he's adaptable to them, Tch what the hell am I worried about, he's a grown man, he can take care of himself." Leona picked up the stuff and went home soon.

At 12:30

Leona had finished cooking and was waiting for Edmund's return, from the end of the road she was already seen and waved her hand to Leona and smiled.

"Tch why is he smiling at me?" said it.

He finally arrived in front of the house, "Oldly waiting for me? tired too, at least today I'm doing a little exercise, I'll take a bath in the river and after that eat." Her speech. Leona looked at the package she was carrying.

"Is that what you brought?"

"This is our wedding dress, they wanted to drive her home but since I was there so they gave it to me." Edmund said casually. Leona stood up and prevented Edmund from entering the house.

"Wait a minute, I did approve of us getting engaged so they wouldn't take you to the village chief, but why would I marry you?" Leona did not understand.

"So you want to marry Jastin? or another man?" tanyakanya.

"Are you crazy? of course not."

"If you don't, you'll just marry me, I've decided. I seriously want to marry you and build a family with you, do you want to be alone for the rest of your life?"

"B-but it doesn't seem right, like something's wrong."

"What do you mean?" Ask Edmund.

"Don't two people who are going to get married have to love each other? W-we're not." Said Leona with a red hue on her cheek.

"What makes you think that I don't like you? I'm not getting married just to joke, Leona."

"Is it because of your age that you want to get married? you're 34, and I'm 20."

Edmund looked at him sharply. "Age is not the reason I want to marry you, but because I want to be with you, after all you want to live with a man under one roof without having a relationship? at any moment the villagers will come and suspect us." Edmund.

"Not suspecting us, but rather suspecting you."

Edmund clucked, without Leona expecting her body to be pulled by Edmund, he hugged her tightly.

"W-what are you doing, you reek of sweat, let go of me." Leona tried to push Edmund's body.

She stared at the beautiful face that looked angry at her, she smiled obliquely, one hand holding her nape held her head moving away, that afternoon the air was quite hot, the sky was brightly colored beautiful blue, the, and that afternoon Edmund kissed Leona for the first time, and something from within him just woke up, their lips perfectly fitting, as if created to complete, Edmund first felt this way, Leona seemed to complete what she needed all along, she lifted her lips, and smiled looking at the unconscious Leona with Edmund's kiss.

She sat Leona in the chair because otherwise her body would fall on the floor, Leona could feel her legs limp and not powered up. Edmund then smiled.

"I'll take a bath in the river, after that we'll eat."

***

Leona held onto her thick lips and still felt marks on her lips. He held it felt strange and suddenly his body felt something strange, a hot feeling as if radiating all over his body.

"He kissed me? B-very dare he do it." Leona said, her voice trembling. The new feeling he felt was strange.

His eyes then glanced at the package, curiosity made him slowly open the package, he wanted to see how the wedding dress was. Her face suddenly shone, she was fascinated with the white dress that looked sparkling in Leona's eyes.

"Beautiful." He stood up and matched the dress in front of his body. Long dress with sea lavender flower decoration decorated on the edges.

"You like it?"

"She likes it a lot." He turned around and without realizing Edmund was already behind him just wearing his pants without wearing his shirt so that his muscular body made Alyena turn her face away. Her wet hair looked to be a long shoulder, her sharp brow line looking slightly curved as Leona shyly turned her back and put the dress just like that on the table.

"The dragon will break before you use Leona, keep it well."

Leona snorted and picked up the dress and the canteen on the table.

***

That day Edmund looked busy, it seemed like he had found a flurry that made him quite at home and pleasant. After breakfast, he will leave again to the field where the Festival was held.

"Why are you silent from now on, you'll usually nag in the morning like you normally would." Edmund said as he curled his lips.

"Is it because I kissed you, now that you're ashamed of me?" Edmund.

Edmund raised his eyebrows, "Ordinary kiss?" He said with probing eyes.

"You ever kissed someone?" Ask.

Leona widened her eyes. "Of course not, I'll kill him if anyone dares to do it."

"What about me? yesterday I kissed you." Her speech.

"I'll assume you're kissing a catfish, so it's not a problem." Edmund was silent in place.

"What did you say? catfish?" Edmund could not believe hearing it.

"I want to forget what happened yesterday, so to forget about it, I assume I have kissed a catfish I found by the river." Edmund stood up, making Leona also stand up.

"What do you want to do, don't come any closer, go catfish." Leona ran quickly while laughing loudly before Edmund reached her, he also ran after Leona until he reached the yard of his house. Leona was still running while surrounding the large tree that was beside her.

"It's just a parable, you should be grateful I just said catfish, how about I say I kissed a turtle." Edmund thinned his lips, he was still trying to grab the girl, how dare he ridicule her, only this time a woman said such a thing to him.

"Fright Lele? I'll show you how a kiss from a catfish will make you faint." Edmund said fiery. They chased each other back among the trees, while Leona did not stop laughing because of her words.

"It looks so nice, you guys look romantic, especially soon you're getting married." The voice made the two turn around, Latty came carrying something in her hand.

"Hi Latty what are you carrying?" Leona said approaching Latty who was standing not far away with her, she then approached her with a breath that was still panting after running, Latty extended the package to her.

"I heard that you're getting married soon, so I'll take this with me, maybe it'll come in handy on the first night of your wedding." Said Latty while raising her eyebrows high up.

"The first night of the wedding? whatchu mean?" Leona said as she unpacked the package and saw something strange. Latty laughed as she closed her mouth.

"What's this, Latty?" Leona said as she slowly raised something that looked like lingerie, but it looked transparent and very strange.

"You don't know what that is? you've never seen anything like that?" Edmund's voice rang out, he walked over and approached Leona's place.

"That's Lingerie, you should wear it after we get married." Edmund said with a meaningfully slanted smile.

Leona put on a disgusted face, "You're kidding me, where might I wear this in front of you." He said, holding it with his fingertips.

"Why not, as my wife you have to wear it. After marriage I want you to wear it in front of me." Leona growled, she threw the parcel to Edmund.

"You're the one who wears it, I don't want to." Leona ran and entered her house followed by Latty who was still laughing looking at Leona's surprised face.

***

The day before the celebration, all the villagers were busy preparing decorations and knick knacks in the village, so that the Festival would look attractive and beautiful, moreover, the height of the celebration when all men and women will be married together in front of the entire village of Zaudet, they will all be witnesses to the title of marriage once a year.

Leona was sitting alone near the river, the sound of water rushing down, which was brought straight from the waterfall in the mountains, she was staring at the clear and cold water, she was, then put his feet on the rocks so that the swift water flowed over his feet.

She took a breath and exhaled, "Do I have to marry that man? it seemed like he was serious, but his smile that always seemed arrogant and cynical was always making me angry." Leona threw a small rock from the riverbank.

"What are you doing there, Leona? Come on in, you catch a cold." Shouted Edmund from the back door of his house.

"Tch, who is he? why is he ruling me?"

"I'll close the door if you're still sitting there." Leona finally stood up and returned to her home.

***

That night strong winds made ships in the ocean sway non-stop, for a pirate, conditions like this they are used to, ferocious waves crashing on the ship, and for a pirate, making their giant ship appear drowned in the fierce waves that night, the entire crew tried to hold on to something so that they were not carried by the waves, he said, there was nothing they could do but hold on to whatever power was on board and make sure the sails stretched out.

"We will soon arrive, after passing through that terrible whirlpool, the sea will lead us to the island of Zaudetta." Said the old man with all his might clinging to the mast of the ship and looking at the ferocious waves that would soon attack their ship.

***

The day all the villagers were waiting for arrived, the mass wedding of the Zaudet people on the island of Zaudetta. The wedding will be held this morning. After that, continue with the Zaudet Island anniversary festival.

"Ck, don't move Leona, we have to finish this on time, so be calm so I can finish your makeup." Latty.

Leona pouted, since this morning Latty had arrived at her house with all her makeup equipment. She was the only one who came to visit Leona and accompanied her in getting ready.

"I'd look ridiculous if you weren't around, Latty. You're my mother, even though I can perform in front of everyone in any style I don't care."

"Of course not, you have to look stunning, so Edmund will be surprised to see his bride-to-be. Leona snorted hearing that.

After almost half an hour, Leona was finally ready, she stood up in her white wedding dress, with her hair perfectly curled but leaving a little on her forehead, a face that usually does not wear make-up makeup looks very beautiful and charming.

"Beautiful, you're really pretty today, Leona, I'm sure they're all looking at you for pangling and don't think that she's the kind of Leona whose hobby is making a fuss." Latty said with a laugh.

"You're exaggerating Latty, don't say that, I'm even more tense if you say it like that." Leona.

"Are you tense because soon you're getting married and enjoying your first night with your Cool husband?"

"Ugh Shut up, stop teasing me or I'll run to the garden."

"Easy, I'll take you back or if you like, we can get married in that vegetable garden, you'll love other people's vegetables so much and ....

Edmund was unable to continue his sentence, when he saw a beautiful woman wearing a white dress, standing by the window looking at her sharply, Latty looked proud of the results of her hard work, she said, but he quickly came out when he saw Edmund approaching Leona, looking his face fascinated with the beautiful girl who would soon be his wife.
