Babysitter For Rain
CHAPTER 88

"Mommy, you're beautiful ..."

Rain's eyes did not stop staring at Ana with her wedding dress. The little girl continued to sit beside Ana while watching the fairy that was dressing Ana up. While staring at Ana non-stop, she leaned her head over her hands.

Ana just smiled to see Rain who was so cute with her dress and hair that was finished styled by the fairy staff. It takes hard work to keep him quiet during self-help. Ana even had to accompany him first before her own self.

Time seems to pass so fast. The world is easily overturned by time. A year ago, Ana was still crying over Rain for lying in the hospital, now the little girl always made her feel like what happened back then was like a dream. Rain was waking her from her long sleep.

"You're seen ...."

Naomi was unable to finish her sentence as she walked in and looked at Ana with the veil already attached on top of her head. Her tears had already come out when she was about to say it. He wanted to force her to keep talking, but her tears were getting out of control.

Ana was also finally unable to shift her mind from crying. Naomi's tears were like inviting her to join.

"Why are you crying? It's so hard to stop, Ana," Naomi said, receiving a tissue that one of the perias staff gave them.

"It's your fault, Nao. Why am I being scolded?" said Ana who also did not want to lose.

The two ended up looking at each other, going silent, then laughing at their own silliness together.

Rain and Ryu looked at their mommy with a look of astonishment. But the fairy staff who were there, they had met many people who had become their clients. So they understand how two adults express their happiness.

"Thank you, Nao ...," Ana said after their laughter subsided. This moment was the best moment for Ana to say the things she had long wanted to say to Nao.

"For what?"

"Because you want to remain friends with a strange and crummy little girl" replied Ana who was also interspersed with her small laugh.

"Pfft .. Yes you are weird and bad."

"You think that too, don't you?"

Ana doesn't mind if Naomi feels that way. He still remembered it clearly, how he had been so secretive since his mother died. Maybe even since he lost his memory.

If it wasn't Naomi who was always looking after him, who was constantly beside him even though she didn't give any response to him, perhaps the current Ana would never have existed.

"Every time I look at Rain, and then look back on those days, I'm even more grateful to have met you. You made me like this, Nao."

Ana's tears fell back. Now Ana understands what the fairy said to her, that the makeup she uses is waterproof. Maybe because this is why.

But Ana is not alone. Naomi is now wiping her tears back with a tissue in her hand.

"I think it's all because I'm stubborn, or because you're too submissive" Naomi said withholding her laughter.

"Awha ... My head is hard because of you, Nao."

Ana always believes, there is a purpose and purpose when God meets someone. And he was sure, this is why God met him with Naomi. To become stronger when the time came for him to meet Marius as well as Rain. In fact, he needed that power.

Haus, tok ...

The door of the room was pushed back by someone. Naomi moved to open the door. When she saw him, Naomi went out of the room and let him in.

"Mr ..."

Doni walked in and looked at Ana. He did not turn his eyes the other way. Seen once, he was holding his breath.

Once upon a time Doni exhaled, and in that moment he cried. Again, Ana could not hold back her own tears.

"You look a lot like Mom. Very beautiful," said Doni while wiping his tears with a tissue near Ana.

As Doni mentioned the word 'mama' in her speech, Ana became increasingly uncontrollable again. Her tears fell down hard. I don't know what will happen to his eyes.

"We have to stop crying, Ana. Or Marius won't be able to recognize his wife later ..."

Doni's words made Ana powerless to laugh even though her tears had just come down.

Slowly Doni grabbed Ana's hands. He looked at Ana's eyes that reminded him of his late wife.

"In a moment, Papa will take you to Marius" said Doni.

Every time he spoke, he knew he was going to cry. But, he wanted to say it to Ana at this moment. Therefore, he tried very hard not to cry.

"When Papa hands these two hands over to her, that means, after this, most people will call you 'the wife of Marius'."

Doni took his breath for a while, then exhaled it slowly.

"Message papa, enjoy your happiness, whatever it takes. Papa will always pray for you."

Anna hugged Doni. He did not care about the people who were releasing veils on his head. He also did not care about his puffy eyes. His heart was no longer strong enough to accept such heartwarming moments.

It took him a long time to come back after that. The fairies then busy looking for ice cubes to relieve swelling in both eyes Ana.

But, no one asked them to rush over. The committee came just to get the message out that they have as much time as they ask. The wedding will be held when the bride is really ready. Ana was convinced that Marius was the one who asked her to convey that.

His heart immediately warmed as he thought of Marius doing that for himself. "I think I'm getting married to an amazing man" she thought.

......................

Marius was ready to stand in front of the pulpit with the one who was going to preside over his wedding ceremony. This time, that person was no longer his undercover bodyguard. And the wedding ceremony was also not an engineering ceremony like he did last time.

It felt like a dream, that was what Marius felt. Standing in front of everyone, waiting for the bride he had been waiting for for so many years, this moment felt too wonderful to be real.

Rain's spacious backyard is usually used to play, now full of chairs and guests who have been waiting to see him pledge. He hoped the weather would remain sunny like this until the event was over.

Among all the places Marius gave her on the list, Ana asked her for one place that wasn't on the list.

"I just want a simple wedding. Attended by close family only, and some acquaintances. For the others, we can send them a parcel. Can you, right?" he said.

"I can do what if I myself have long fallen for such an amazing girl" he thought.

Then suddenly, the accompanying music began to play. It was a sign that the bride had already arrived.

Rain walked on the carpet with a flower basket in his hand. With his other hand, Rain spread flowers around him, bit by bit.

As for Ryu, he accompanied Rain every step by walking beside him while carrying a basket containing a tiny pillow inside. Two rings of different sizes were pinned on it.

Shortly after, Marius saw Ana walking towards him. With a veil over her head covering her face, Marius could still see Ana smiling at him. At that instant, Marius felt a very intense nervousness that made his heart beat very fast. Her tears almost fell because of it.

Lucas immediately offered him a town of tissues. He knew the dashing man would soon shed his tears. And Marius did not reject it. For the first time, Lucas sees the soft side of a Marius.

"Thank you, Marius ..," Ana whispered to him, as they stood side by side in front of the pulpit and the leader of their wedding ceremony. The leader of the ceremony began to recite prayers to them. Both are busy whispering.

"For what?"

"Because we're gonna wait a little longer until it's all over."

Ana glanced at Marius for a moment and found the man smiling. "Ah, her smile ...," she praised inwardly.

"I've been waiting for you all these years, still to be forced not to meet for a week. I think I can still bear to wait a few minutes."

From behind her veil, both of Ana's cheeks began to blush. But her smile added sugar to Ana's face. Marius could not bear to eat Ana's taste.

"... is Lord Marius willing?"

"I'm ready."

"... is Madame Adriana willing?"

"I'm ready."

"With this, I present to you Mr and Mrs Hadinata. Please kiss the bride."

The cheers of those who whistled, clapped, and shouted joy as if they were not heard by Marius. Her hand immediately pulled Ana into her arms after she opened her veil, and saw the beautiful face of Ana who was now very shining in her eyes.

"After this, you won't let me regret marrying me, Ana."

Ana hears something funny from Marius' mouth, causing him to let out a small laugh, but also making him so embarrassed that he causes her to blush.

"I'm afraid you'll regret it, Marius."

Ana instantly pulled the lapel portion of Marius' tuxedo suit. "Because if you dare to regret, I'll kidnap Rain and take him away."

Within seconds, a kiss had landed on Marius' lips. Again, this girl in front of him made him surprised by his aggressive attitude. However, Marius liked his attitude very much.

Her right arm, which was already at Ana's waist, pushed Ana closer to her. With her left hand, she held Ana's nape so as not to get away from her. Marius deepens the kiss Ana gives him. In front of many people, the girl was made to lose her breath.

Ana remembers everything that Doni told her. Her life as her beloved daughter may have just ended, but her life as Marius' wife has only just begun.

If that means she will spend the rest of her life with the man she loves and Rain, who will be their beautiful daughter, then Ana is ready to face it all without complaining one bit.

A meeting even if only temporary, is the beginning of various possibilities - Herjuno Tisnoaji

"If meeting you was the beginning of a door opening, then I never regretted our meeting that time even though you had to lie to me, Marius."

"If you don't regret it, neither do I, Ana. I never regretted deciding to agree, in order to bring you to me."

Author's Note :

Finally ... after passing through 5 full moons (huh!), this story can finally be completed.

Again, thank you to all who have read from the beginning and survived to the end.

I admit, this work is not perfect. There will be those who like it or not. It's common, and I don't mind it.

Through this work, I learned a lot. And I hope other friends who are doing the same can also learn a lot from his works.

As long as I still have the passion to work, my hope is that I can be better in each of my works.

Greetings to everyone, and once again thank you for all the support. You are all the best.

For the next time, the novel "Nanny For Rain" continues with extra stories, both before and after they get married.

Some short stories had been thought of but could not/cannot be included because of fear it would deviate far from the story line. Therefore, I will open a new chapter devoted to extra stories.

Again, thank you very much.
