Butterfly In You
Chapter 29: Turkish Embassy

Lilis gasped, Shehan suddenly wrapped his hands around her arms as they had just got out of the car, about to head to the entrance of the Turkish embassy in Jakarta.

Stunned, Lilis looked at Shehan's embrace. 'Why is Lord Murad suddenly like this?' he murmured in wonder.

"Come, Honey! We're going inside!"

Not only embracing, Shehan even smiled while calling Lilis a sweet name. The man's dental row looks neat behind the symmetrical line arch of the lips.

'What? Mr Murad called me darling? Did I not hear wrong? Or maybe Mr. Murad's disease recurred. Illnesses like ghost possession!'

"I-yes, sir." Lilis nervously replied.

"Curtain! Why do you call me Sir?" sergeant Shehan. "We must now perform in front of the ambassador. If he sees a strange scene between us, the ambassador could think that I'm forcing you."

"Oh ..." Lilis' lips form a large O. "I see, so what do I have to call Master now?"

Shehan was silent for a moment while looking softly at Lilis. "Call me ... Dear."

"Ohuk!" Tetiba Lilis coughs, Shehan's talk just tastes even like kedondong fruit seeds. One throw, directly stuck in Lilis' throat and made her choke.

"Call me, honey!" pinta Shehan again.

Lilis was stunned, as if her tongue was a joke to speak. Shehan's eyes were intense. The man seemed to really like her and called out "Honey" for loving half-dead. All this is for a mere charade.

"Sa-who!" Long enough Lilis clumsily, before finally being able to perfect a new call to Shehan.

"alright. Come on, let's go in now!"

"Eum ...." Nod obediently.

"Don't say anything if you're not asked. It's enough I explained to the ambassador about our wedding plans."

"Well Tu, uh, wrong! Yeah, Honey."

Shehan smiled faintly. Lilis smiled too. They are a compatible couple when told to work together for a show.

"Good girl!"

The man then invited Lilis into the Turkish embassy. While embracing, the two walked together.

Mr. Serkan Cayoglu-Turkish ambassador to Indonesia, has been waiting for their arrival. We welcome both of them to the reception room. Shehan then explained to the ambassador that he would marry an Indonesian girl in Turkish.

Not to forget he also said that the woman sitting next to him was the girl-to-be his wife. Lilis gave a smile as Mr. Serkan turned his head towards her.

'Sure Mr. Murad and Mr. Serkan are talking about me now, ' Lilis guessed inwardly.

"So this Miss is Miss Lilis, Mr Shehan Murad's future wife?"

Lilis and Shehan were both shocked and exchanged glances. Long speaking in Turkish, it turns out that Mr. Serkan can speak Indonesian. Back when Shehan was about to marry Sarah about five years ago, the Turkish ambassador to Indonesia was someone else. That's because Shehan doesn't know Mr. Serkan very well.

Sek!

Shehan nudged Lilis' hand with his elbow to code, so as not to mispronounce. Lilis also looked at Shehan. Shehan's threats can be read through his eyes.

'Look, if you're talking wrong!'

'Yes, Sir. I understand, really!'

"Ehem! Miss Lilis?" Mr. Serkan cleared his throat, deliberately wanting to interrupt Shehan and Lilis' conversation that occurred through the eyes. Fortunately, that method managed to make Lilis turn her gaze towards the middle-aged man.

"Yes, sir."

"Please answer my question, is it true that Miss is Mr Shehan Murad's future wife?"

"Hmmm...." Sir Serkan nodded a few times. "How old is Miss right now?"

"I'm 22 years old, sir."

"Well, it's pretty young!" Mr. Serkan was stunned. Although he knew the difference in the lifespan of Shehan and Lilis was quite far, but Mr. Serkan conveyed his enthusiasm in a subtle way.

"But his personality is mature. That's what makes me like it." Shehan rubbed gently on the back of Lilis' hand. They look at each other in the shade.

"If you may know, how long have you known each other?"

"Nearly a year we've known and loved each other." As soon as Shehan cut in because he knew, Lilis would definitely be too lazy to answer this question. "We don't want to waste any more time, want to get married immediately and become a legitimate married couple. Right, Honey?"

Shehan took Lilis by the hand and squeezed her gently in front of Mr. Serkan.

"Eh, yeah. Hehehe ...." Lilis. "Really Dear. Hehehe ...." It feels really awkward if you have to call often with that name.

One hand of Mr. Serkan was crossed, while the other hand clenched his chin while nodding several times. After that, the information made by the ambassador only about the procedure and procedure of marriage of couples of different nationalities and all letters for the purposes of marriage documents must be translated by the services of a sworn translator.

Nearly thirty-five minutes of Shehan and Lilis interviewing the Turkish ambassador, both welcome home and will be sent an official letter from the embassy a little over a week later.

**

On the way home, Lilis accidentally saw a row of wedding dresses displayed in a bridal clothing store window from behind the car window. For a long time he saw, especially when it was a red light.

'It's a good one, her wedding dress!'

Lilis did praise the dress. However, there is sadness in his praise.

Shehan who was also sitting in the back cabin next to Lilis turned his head. He found the girl watching the wedding dress across the street. He sighed deeply, then told Lilis not to expect more.

"You want us to do a photo shoot for prewedding?"

Lilis looked over, flabbergasted. "Ah, no dear. No really. We got married simply."

"Good! Because our marriage is only up to a year and contract too. So no need to serepot it."

Now answered already the sadness of Lilis when praising the wedding dress. She will never be the happiest bride as Shehan has just made Lilis aware of their marital status.

"Yes, honey." Lilis looked down.

"And one more thing, don't call me darling because our charade is over."

Gluey!

Saliva Lilis swallowed in. Miris is his life. Come to think of it, actually Lilis had chosen the wrong decision by agreeing to marry Shehan. When he was just playing, the man would turn warm, as warm as spring. However, if their charade was over, then Shehan's figure would be cold, as cold as a refrigerator.

"So I'm gonna have to call you what if we're officially married?"

Shehan. He himself also did not know what to call Lilis.

"We think about it later" he said, then turned away. The man looked uninspired. It was different from his condition when five years ago, when he was going to marry Sarah. Shehan and Sarah were very harmonious at the time. Now the track record of harmony with Sarah, even back ringing in Shehan's mind.

"Good, Sir." Lilis herself also turned towards the closed window of the car. The two sat back to each other.

The radiant aura of Lilis and Shehan both reflected unhappiness. One still loves his ex-wife and still imagines a sweet story with his ex. And another lamented the bad luck that was just about to begin. It began when Lilis had legitimately become Shehan's wife.
