Touching Hearts

"Ara, come down quickly. They are coming soon." cried Andin from below
"Yes mom" said Ara
Tonight was her first meeting with the family of her future husband. At the same time the first meeting with the man she was betrothed to. Since then Ara has been agitated. It was circling around in the room and still hoping that this was all a dream. But the scream echoed the mother managed to realize Ara that this was not a silly dream that she expected but a reality.
"God, how should I? I'm not ready yet. If you can, can you please leave all this?" the door looked up with both hands folded in front of the chest.
"Fra... Hurry on!" yell at Andin again
"It turns out it can't be yes." he said softly.
Ara exhaled violently and then walked down one by one the stairs. Just as his foot rested on the final step of the stairs, the long-awaited guest had already appeared before the door. Both of his parents welcomed the guests.
"Sttts.. Ara here" call Andin, instructing his daughter to come closer to greet their guests.
With Gontai Ara approaching while looking down. He wasn't too confident to look up to his new family.
"Hey son, why are you so down?" Holland started the conversation
Ara nervously heard the heavy voice of the old man who still looked dashing at her age.
"A.. Ma.sorry, Om..." Ara stammered
Holland chuckled "No need to apologize. And one more thing, from now on don't call me Om but Daddy. Because soon you'll be my daughter too."
"Ba.good Om. uh, Daddy"
"Smart girl" Holland smiled "astaga, daddy almost forgot. Meet this handsome man, my son Ellard O'Neil Miller and your future husband" Holland swatted proudly on his son's strapping back.
Ellard smiled faintly as she reached out to Ara who was still fixed
"Hi, nice to meet you" said baritone Ellard
Ara bergeming. Unknowingly his eyes scrutinized the man before him. Strict jaw, sharp eyes, dense eyebrows that are engraved neatly, high nose, thin red lips, and do not forget the thin hairs around the jaw that make the man look sexy? Ara's height guessed about 190 cm proved from Ara's short body which only reached the man's chest. Exotic skin and perfect muscle curves were printed clearly from behind the white shirt he wore. One word for this man in front of her is Perfect. It was as if God was smiling when he created this man.
Ara gulped her ludas. Oh my God, she's too perfect to be my partner!
"Ara.." call Andin patted his daughter's shoulder softly.
"Huh?" cengoh Ara, frowning looking at Andin
"Ellard waitin tuh" Andin pointed with his chin at ellard's unrespected hand.
"Oh, ma.sorry.. I'm Ara." Ara shook awkwardly as Ellard's loyal hand smiled.
"Ah, we'd better continue this conversation inside. Please Mr. Holland and son Ellard" exclaimed Harris, inviting his special guest into the living room.

Once again Ara stared at the needle pointed at the scales.86kg! while the height is only 165 cm. Frustration came back to him losing suddenly remembered with the figure of a man who would be his life companion in a short period of time.
Upset, Ara kicked the innocent scales a little rough away from her. He approached the bed and lay on his back there, staring up at the ceiling. Close your eyes for a moment, but damn it! The shadow of that handsome face seemed to continue to tease him.
"Kyaaa.." he cried out in frustration and sat back down breathing rough.
"Lord, why are you being so kind to me. Give a man that perfect. I'm not ready for God. I'd better live alone forever." whined Ara like a boy
Throughout the meeting, the two families only discussed the details of their wedding preparations. The ones who talk a lot are their parents. While the party who is getting married is just silent and occasionally smiling responds like a generous listener. But in the middle of the conversation, Ara began to react when she heard that their wedding would be held very lively and invited the media to cover.
Nah! For this one idea Ara disagrees. He was not ready to be shown to the public to hold a wedding with a young man who recently He knew was very rich and had a great influence in the business world in various countries. What the hell! He was used to being humiliated and ridiculed. But what about that guy? The man may have been used to being flattered and adored. What if all of a sudden the news of the wedding was highlighted and then showed her who was far from perfect along with the perfect and unblemished man of the gap. It was like Beauty and the Beast. They must have been blasphemed at that time. Just imagining it makes the fur of Iuduk Ara shudder in horror.
Therefore, Ara immediately said what was lodged in his head. His request was challenged. So that makes Ara forced to issue his last course, which is he will cancel this marriage if his request is not obeyed. Because of the threat, the family had to agree.
In her heart Ara felt a little uneasy. But when his eyes collided with those eagle eyes, Ara felt uneasy. Ellard's gaze seemed to kill him. What makes the man's face suddenly turned unhappy. Could it be because of his request? ah, that's impossible. He did this so that the guy's good name wouldn't get bad, would he?
"Or should I run away? Ah no.no. That will cause even greater problems! Daddy and mommy are gonna be mad. Arrgghhhhhh" Ara ruffled her hair in frustration.
There is no other way. Like it or not, he must learn to accept it. May God protect her.

The sound from Ara's phone managed to distract her chaotic mind. A message from a foreign number. Figures up next door.
+16469759377
Ara
Who yeah?
+16469759377
Ellards
The perfectly rounded fig eyes read the name.
Ara
Oh, what's up?
+16469759377
I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. We'll fit a shirt and buy a ring
Ara
Can't do. I have class tomorrow morning
+16469759377
I told Beny you can't come in tomorrow. I'll pick you up tomorrow at 8. Don't be late and keep me waiting. Have a good sleep my big baby;)
What the fu...??
Ara was unable to continue her swearing. He could not believe the man's last reply. Ara pulled her saying that the man was a perfect man! Look, a new line of messages has succeeded in upsetting him. What did he say? My big baby? Woah... This Bossy Man!
Not wanting to be dissolved in his cot, Ara threw back her body and then pulled the irritated blanket to cover the entire body. He had to muster a lot of manpower to deal with the man he branded Bossy.

Throughout the clothes fittings, Ellard desperately held back his emotions because of the actions of his future wife. How not? The girl will only want to fit if there are no visitors in the boutique other than them, then when the selection of the ring is the same. Ara insisted on not wanting anyone to see them together. Everything has to be done in secret.
Ellard was forced to give in and follow all the girl's wishes because again the threat was to cancel the marriage. Another reason that most upset Ellard was that the girl did not want to marry her ugly self, which would worsen her good name. Didn't you know Ara? He doesn't care about any of that. He sincerely made the girl into his life companion without taking into account her appearance and body shape.
As of this moment, Ellard deliberately silenced him. Ara realized that. They were waiting for their lunch order to come in a private room at one of the most luxurious restaurants. This hidden place was also Ara who asked for it. While waiting for their order to arrive, Ara bailed on going to the toilet.
Inside the toilet, while Ara was tidying up her clothes, three girls appeared suddenly in front of her in their super tight clothes to show their makeup curves. And do not forget the makeup of the three who always look menor for Ara.
Elsa, Nadine and Cerry. The senior on the campus who bullied him often.
"Woahh.. didn't expect to meet this Nile horse here" recalls Elsa. The chairman of all three.
Ara was frozen. Unknowingly his hands clenched tightly. His subconscious alarm signals him to get out of there.
" Sorry brother, I have to go." Just as Ara was about to get past them, Cerry and Nadine blocked each hand and pushed it hard to hit the wall, making Ara instantly grimace in pain.
"Arrrggghhhh.."
"You running away, hm?" Elsa approached and immediately grabbed Ara's chin.
"Hard, Sa" cried Nadine
"Yes sa, uda long we do not mess with him" continued Cerry
Ara shook her head in fear. Her tears have fallen.
"Ja.don't brother.." please
"I'm sorry baby, this time I'm in a bad mood. So you have to help restore my good mood, hm" he often with shiny eyes.
Then came the bad things that Ara always accepted. Without Elsa's mercy, slapping strongly the two flattened round Ara firmly, grabbing her hair until she throws out a few strands , kicking and lastly watering Ara's large body with used water to make her whole body wet and smelly.
"Hahaha.. you crybaby! Let's pull it out" said Elsa satisfied.
The three of them went out just like that without caring about the state of their victims who were very chaotic. Ara crying bitterly. He bit his clothes firmly dampening his loud stuffing. His face reddened and poignant because of the former slap, his head was dizzy, not to mention his legs were unusually sore due to several times in a powerful kick to make it difficult to walk. His clothes also stink.
Ara drowned her face on her knees and came back crying. Bad treatment has always been overflowing just because he is weak and fat. He never bothered or harmed those people. Eager to complain all the bad things he received to his parents and brother, but again Ara did not want to make his family into thoughts and burdened. So Ara often had to shut her mouth and say everything was fine.
"Daddy. momy, brother, sister, hikss..please Ara" her quirk "they're evil as Ara.."
