Wife Contract Rich Investor

Wedding Day

The brushstrokes are skillfully done by the Bridal Perias to Regina's cheeks. His face looked fresh after being given a blush. However, it could not cover up the anxiety Regina felt. Since then he has been breathing heavily.

“Tensely tense, Ma'am. It's pretty. Beautiful.” The word Perias the Bride reassured Regina repeatedly. “ Ga use make up is already beautiful. That's why I'm not much love make up, let it look natural but the bride's aura comes out.”

“Iya, Re. Real pretty. Just calm. It's a teteh that make up-in already an expert.” Said Aunt Regina proudly watching her niece who was being groomed.

Regina had been preparing since 5am in one of the rooms of the Shangri La Hotel where she had her wedding today. It is undeniable that his feelings are mixed, tense, afraid, sad, and somehow other feelings that he does not know. Starting today her marriage contract with Gian will be official.

Help from Gian was received a few weeks ago, in the form of funds and people who Gian believes have filled an important position in Edmode. As long as his burden was reduced, Edmode began a new chapter with a new leader and vision. Things don't get better, but they all recover.

For several weeks also Regina was preoccupied with the preparation of her wedding. Although it is only a contract marriage, but all the events that are done are original. Events, buildings, guests, decorations and clothes he wears. All based on Regina's choice. Gian gives her the freedom to choose the concept of marriage that Regina wants. In accordance with what he dreamed. He said even though this was just a fake relationship, the celebration was real and it all belonged to Regina.

Gian did not even comment on the budget he had to spend on his wedding today. She always agreed, though sometimes Regina hesitated to choose something she thought was too expensive. But the unfortunate thing by Regina is that Gian is too busy to discuss details about this event such as what flowers to wear for decoration, the color of her dress, her make up, her makeup, and other little things that Regina thinks should be noted. Even Gian disappeared for a few days and could not be contacted for a week because he had to make a business trip to Surabaya. All the wedding preparations turned out to be draining Regina's emotions and energy. Lie marriage or not, it feels like he still wants to explode and berated Gian who can not cooperate.

Marriage to Sundanese customs chosen by Regina. At the kabul event today, she will wear a long white kebaya with a tail and a sprinkling of mote. Regina designed it herself, but the work is done by employees who are experts in sewing kebaya.

The crown of the siger has been attached to the head of Regina, which has been decorated with cape flowers, bouncy flowers on the bun, and two strands of jasmine flowers. Since dawn, Regina has not seen what she looks like after using makeup and wearing clothes of danger. The newlywed fairies showed it when it was almost done and just tidied up.

After the fairy allowed him to look in the mirror, Regina was satisfied with the results. His reflection wearing kebaya clothes and bridal makeup looks beautiful and not too excessive. The combination of semi-bold and flawless make up does not look too excessive on his face. She likes a natural look but still looks elegant.

“That's beautiful.” Perias assured Regina. “Lipstick is to be added again ga?” Continue while tidying up Regina's kebaya tail. Peach color with hint orange is a color that is very suitable for the skin.

“Udah this time.” The answer is satisfied.

Some of her assistants from the Wedding Organizer walked into the room and checked Regina's preparations. The event has already started and Gian is already at the venue for the kabul ijab. Suddenly Regina's heart became restless again. It felt like he could not breathe properly, perhaps due to his worries or the tight corset tying his stomach. His hands were cold and sweating.

“Silent back. It'sit's okay. Bismillah.” Her aunt said soothingly as she saw Regina looking worried and breathing heavily.

...***...

When Regina had been sitting next to Gian, she just looked down at his hand. Even he did not dare to stare at the uncle and the ruler in front of him. His world was like walking in slow motion, he could not focus the voices outside of his mind. There was only the contents of his head that noisily cursed himself.

‘Stupid religion! A fool! You will be stuck with someone you do not know!’

‘You've already celebrated the wedding’

‘Cewe moron! Your sins will not be forgiven!’

‘You fucked your parents!’

‘After the contract is completed you will be a widow! No guy will want to be with you!’

‘You sold yourself for money!’

All the boisterousness in his head obscured the voices around him. The voice of the ruler who was talking to Gian to check the completeness of the document, the voice of his Uncle who became the guardian read out the ijab, the voice of people who whispered in the room, everything was like obliterated in his ear. All the voices came back when Gian said a sentence that Regina really did not want to hear.

“...I received the marriage and marriage of Regina Pragita Wijaya bint the late Haris Wijaya with the dowry paid in cash.” Gian said in one breath.

Silence changed to fullness and noise in Regina's ears with the SAH utterances and prayers that accompanied her from her head and invited guests. His heart stopped at that moment. Regina has given up one important moment in her life for a big lie. Her tears forced her to come out, but she must not cry here. With great difficulty Regina bit her lower lip to keep from crying.

After Ijab kabul, everything Regina does is like a piece of film that she watched from a distance. The customary procession, the poses that were photographed to be immortalized, the congratulations from many invited guests were like unreal to Regina. He doesn't even remember what Gian whispered to him, what prayers his Uncle and Aunt said during the silence, or the hugs of colleagues and brothers.

Until the moment he had to change clothes for the second time he just stared blankly at the mirror. The white dress with a model long sleeve mermaid dress with tulle and lace material featuring a sleek silhouette feels foreign to Regina. He made it himself, but like everyone else who wears it.

The event continued until 4 pm, many guests were present to congratulate and take pictures together. Among the invited guests, many relatives and colleagues Gian and Regina were present. The show will again continue later tonight, which Gian arranges for Gian's limited business colleagues. Until then Regina remained there smiling, hugging, and thanking her like a robot that had been programmed. Her soul had been lost buried somewhere, deep in beautiful clothes and dazzling makeup.
