The Whisper Of The Sea

Vol 62

Her brown eyes seemed to lock her body, she could not move, especially with the dress she wore, a smile emanated on her handsome face. He walked up to Leona and stood right in front of her.

"How can you impress me with a touch of make-up? where's the tomboy girl who likes to make a fuss?" Edmund pretended to think.

Leona narrowed her eyes, "Don't make me angry, right now I can even attack you with a tight dress like this."

"Oh yeah, it's a good idea, but you have to be patient until our marriage is over, you can do anything to me." Edmund whispers while pulling Leona's chin with his index finger.

The sound of bells echoing in the village, the two of them stopped their debate. "Whether we go, the ceremony will begin soon." Edmund held Leona's hand which seemed to hold in place.

"There's no time to rethink, if you don't move I can lift you to the party, if that's what you want." Sharp speech.

Leona finally followed where Edmund was taking her, she stared at the man walking beside her, a tall body with a handsome face, sharp eyes with a sharp jawline, the woman who saw him would be fascinated with his handsome face, the woman who looked at him, and this man wants to marry her, whatever she thinks, to decide something important at will. And Leona followed the plan of this arrogant man.

He holds her hand, taking Leona to the wedding venue. They arrived at the celebration, the field had been conjured up to be very beautiful, filled with flowers and decorations such as lanterns from the ceiling and red carpet that is provided for the bride and groom who will enter the celebration.

White dresses were scattered in various places, and the brides and grooms had stood in their respective places, along with their families.

The presence of Leona and Edmund came to the attention of all the villagers, they looked surprised when they looked at the bride, whispers rang out between them, they did not believe the beautiful and charming woman was Leona, the woman who is famous in this village with her rude attitude and always raises rumors in Zaudett village.

The handsome man standing beside Leon also made the women mutter in admiration for his good looks. All the women looked at him, and clearly, the woman standing beside Jastin was stomping her legs slowly, she bit her lips, looking very resentful of Leona, while Jastin could not take her eyes away from Leona.

After the whispers subsided, a man stood in front of them all and gave a long speech. When the Zaudett people started their wedding, they cheered as each couple walked forward and officiated their wedding, when it was Edmund and Leona's turn, there was the cry of a woman back there who grabbed everyone's attention. A woman was crying hysterically, she was seen crying roaring, everyone turned around and approached the woman who looked possessed.

Leona turned around and was more interested in the commotion that the woman had caused. "What happened to him, why did he get into such a trance?"

"How noisy, don't look again, it's our turn." Edmund.

"Merry stupid ! Acting less convincing, they still hold a marriage, they are not even disturbed in the slightest."

Jastin who heard everything was just silent, he just shook his head, he did not want to interfere in the affairs of the woman next to him, just looking at her already irritated him.

"Don't mess with Sarah, or I'll leave you and humiliate you right now" Jastin said as she looked at the man who was kissing Leona with real possession, and that made Jastin very angry. Leona tried to dodge several times, until Edmund pulled Leona's waist and finally kissed her.

His hands were clenched tightly, he could not bear to see all this, but he had no other choice, his family situation was now very difficult, if only he left this girl and humiliated her, he said, his mother's estate will be taken by the Marshmille family.

~

Her smile looked haughty and satisfied, while Leona herself was extremely embarrassed and her face turned a dead red, she did not expect there to be a kiss after their wedding.

"You kissed me, in front of a lot of people?"

"Why, we're all free to choose."

"The couple before us just kissed the woman's forehead and what are you doing, perverted man?"

"It's my style, everyone's different, I can't just kiss your forehead, and I'm not a pervert, but your perverted husband, you can say that."

Leona wanted so badly to kick her leg, why did this man change so much? What he's done so this guy changes his head.

"You're saying I'm not your woman type, aren't you licking your own spit?" Leona said as she walked back to the seat with a standing ovation from the villagers.

"Take it like that. I change my mind, everyone can change, what I like and dislike, take it easy, I will try to be a husband who loves my wife so much, and makes her happy, I'm not gonna change like I used to."

"What were you like?" ask Leona.

"Better we don't talk about it, or later you'll get jealous." Edmund said, holding Leona's hand tightly.

"Don't joke, who's jealous?" Leona turned her face away.

His gaze fell on the woman sitting not far from him, she was Sarah Marshmille, the woman was staring at Leona sharply, she was gritting her teeth when she saw Leona's hand clasping Edmund's hand, and it made Leona even more interested. He deliberately raised their two interlocked hands and looked at Edmund with a smile.

"I know I'm handsome, but what's wrong with you? who are you playing, until you look at me like that." Edmund twisted his body and looked at Jastin.

He then turned around and looked at Leona intently. "Are you trying to make that guy jealous?" Fizz Edmund.

"Jastin's? of course not, I'm just making someone angry at being burned with jealousy, just look at that woman, since you scared her it looks like she's just putting her heart on you, even though she's married, but he seems to want you."

Edmund felt goosebumps, his hair bristling to hear it. "Tch, don't talk about the woman, she's always everywhere, she's terrible, I didn't expect psychopaths to be on this remote island." Leona laughed freely and Edmund looked at her with a smile.

"I love it when you laugh like that, you look so charming."

Leona stopped laughing, then removed her hand from Edmund, she fixed her sitting position and slightly moved away.

***

The morning welcomes the ship floating on the sea. One by one they woke up in a place that even they did not expect. The man shook his head a little hard for the water in his ears to come out, he tried to stand up and hold the mast of the ship.

The old man stared at his ship which looked ravaged by the fierce sea waves last night.

"Captain, it looks like our two crewmen were in the waves last night, they won't be able to survive even if we take down the lifeboats to look for them." Said the black-eyed man with a firm jawline, his shoulder-length hair was still wet as well as the clothes he wore. "I don't care about Ronald, look for them, maybe one of them's still alive, if there's no sign of them, just leave them and get back on the ship."

"Good captain."

The man named Ronald Falviero was gone, he was the vice-captain, and also the right hand of Furious Lewstin when working on the tasks given by his captain.

***

The festival lasts until night, they really enjoy the party that is held once a year, the bride and groom have left the party location, too, maybe because they will change clothes or can't wait to enjoy their romance.

"You're not going to change into a dress?" Ask Latty.

"Ah, you're right, I'm claustrophobic about wearing this, let alone I'm so hard to walk." Leona stood up and tried to walk slowly. He searched for Edmund and he was on the other end of the street talking to the grooms chatting while sitting in one of the food stalls.

"Why do men love to talk, what boring talk makes him feel at home for a long time there," Leona said with difficulty lifting her dress.

"Leona."

The man in the suit with curls neatly combed back was approaching Leona, when he saw her walking alone.

"You." Leona said exasperatedly, she still remembered how this man had attacked her while in her vegetable garden, ever since, she had never gone to the garden again.

"Leona, I'm sorry .. I don't deserve you to forgive. I'm so sorry, I kind of lost consciousness because of that drink, especially when I can't be with you anymore." He said as he looked at Leona with a face of deep regret.

"I won't ask you to forgive me right away, but I want you to know that I'm very sorry for what I did."

Leona was just speechless, she didn't know what to say.

Suddenly someone pulled her dress violently and slapped her. Leona and Jastin were so shocked. Sarah ran quickly when she saw her husband talking to Leona.

"Based on the j4lang woman, you're a seductress, you don't deserve to be married, how dare you tease Jastin." She looked hysterical and once again wanted to grab Leona and was about to claw her.

Leona of course could not accept it, she returned a slap in Sarah's face with all her strength until she slammed back.

"I'm not worthy? aren't you the more inappropriate one? You're such a creepy witch, it's lucky that Jastin would marry a horrible woman like you, now try to look in the mirror and look at that horrible face of yours, which man would want to marry a crazy woman like you."

"B-very dare you ....

The woman was about to pull Leona's hair but before that happened, Jastin pulled her by dragging her back, while Leona who was ready to pounce on the woman and was about to jump her, was held tightly by Edmund. The legs of both hovering in the air rebel want to be released so that they both attack each other.

There was a strong slap, and it came from Jastin, the woman was shaking violently, she did not expect that on her wedding night she was even slapped by the man who was already her own husband. She then cried hysterically and made a fuss at the festival, Jastin just stood there staring at her indifferently and immediately left her.

Leona and Edmund are on their way home. Edmund held Leona, since he was just silent and did not speak, he looked very upset. Leona who had been nagging since then finally stopped talking and looked at him.

"You shut up, are you angry?" Asked, he noticed the look on his face that had been silent since not responding to Leona.

Arriving home, Edmund sat Leona by the bed and told her not to move. He himself stood up and looked for a medicine box to treat the reddish color on Leona's left cheek.

"What are you talking about with that guy?"

"W-what? Oh, you mean Jastin? he just apologized about the incident in the garden, then the witch came and attacked me so I had no choice but to go back to attack him." Leona said as if to explain everything to him, that he was not the one who started the commotion.

"I know, because I saw you talking to that guy. You know what I feel when you're with another guy?"

Leona shook her head awkwardly, "A-what?" Ask.

"I want to kill him, now that you're mine, you understand, I won't let mine along with another man, let alone without me by your side."

Leona gulped her saliva, "my words sound scary, can't they be changed by any other words?" Leona's words furrowed her brows.

"No, since you've become my wife now, of course you're all mine."

"What do you mean I can't talk to a man anymore?" Leona said in wonder.

"Maybe if it's an urgent interest or I'm with you." Edmund delivers a medication that relieves the reddish sores on Leona's cheeks.

"Is it still painful?"

Leona nodded. "Slightly, but not as painful as the woman felt, she had received a slap from me and from Jastin, it was enough to make her cheeks swollen overnight." Leona said with a satisfied smile. He suddenly stopped laughing as the man before him looked at him and observed him.

"W-what?"

"Clean up your dusty body and change your clothes, we'll have dinner, you'll be hungry after a great fight." Leona nodded and immediately went to her bed which was different from Edmund's, and it disturbed her.

Leona wanted to take off her wedding dress but there was Edmund there. "You didn't turn around? I want to take off my dress." Said Leona looking at him in wonder, because first without any interest Edmund will soon turn his body.

"Why? I've been your husband."

"What's the connection? I changed clothes and you became my husband?"

"There's so much to do, but I won't tell you, you have to learn to know for yourself." Edmund said as he took food from the cupboard and prepared it on the table.

Leona was still standing there, Edmund then exhaled. "Ok, ok I won't see, so clean your body immediately and we eat."

Leona immediately pulled the zipper of her wedding dress behind her back, she looked troubled pulling it down, hearing a noise from her, Edmund turned around and looked at Leona who was struggling with her dress. She immediately approached Leona and pulled the zipper on her wedding dress.

"W-what are you doing?" Leona panicked.

"Try to help you open this dress, you won't be able to open your dress until tomorrow."

Slowly Edmund pulled her up to Leona's waist, impatiently pulling her body away as the wind blew against her back. Her brown eyes glared as her dress was about to fall in front of this man, she looked at Edmund who was smiling meaningfully that night to her.
