Forced to Get Married Again
Alex and Sonya

Hardan brought his face closer to Kei's stomach, "Hei broo... We can't wait for you..."

Kei giggled amusedly, "How did you know our boy?"

Hardan grinned broadly, "My feelings are just the Papi..."

"Bro and sist..." Kei followed the guess.

"Well... That's even better... Hardhan and Kei are small versions of it simultaneously." cried Hardan.

"Have you prepared a name for our dear children?" ask Kei.

Hardan sat on the floor, "Hmmm, I'll give you a name after our son is born." he replied.

"Darling... I want to eat seafood." Whine Kei suddenly.

"The seafood? Oh, I'll have Alex buy it for you... You want grilled fish, squid, or what?"

Kei shook his head, "I want to eat seafood by the beach... While watching the sunset..."

"Oh I know the most famous place on the island, buti..." Hardan glanced at the glance of his watch then looked back at Kei,

"It's past four... The place must have been full." he continued, but seeing Kei's frowning face made him immediately press the watch button.

"Yaa boss." said Alex.

"Reserve a place at the beachside seafood cafe, I know it's late now, but I don't want to know you should be able to get a seat for us and our other men, too, everyone should be able to gather there." Hardhan ordered.

"Okay boss." Alex replied.

"Well... Now you get ready baby, we go right there now." Hardan said gently, then helped Kei sit down.

"What if it turns out that it's really full, and Alex doesn't get a seat for us." asked Kei, the skeptical tone in his voice made Hardhan shake his head.

"You have to trust Alex's ability to work, baby..."

"Oh I don't doubt it, as real evidence, he could have married my best friend secretly... You even to the point of... Great right?" insinuated Kei, he still feels upset by Sonya and Alex's secret marriage.

"Well... You're starting to get emotional again. Now get your clothes changed, Alex will explain it in front of all our people this afternoon..."

"I want you to pick a shirt for me." pinta Kei in a spoiled voice.

"Alright madam." replied Hardhan, he immediately carried Kei and took him to the dressing room, then sat him in the dresser chair.

Hardan opened the wardrobe, then with a nosy smile pulled out the lingerie and showed it to Kei, "What if this?"

"Are you crazy?" pekik Kei while holding back his laughter.

Hardan returned the lingerie to its original place, then took out a pastel-colored mini dress on the knee with a floral motif, "How about this one?" ask again.

"Well that's better." Kei replied.

**********

Along this beach there are dozens of restaurants selling processed seafood. Hardhan is right Alex can indeed be relied on, he managed to book a strategic place.

But Kei did not want to eat yet, he asked Hardan to accompany him on a leisurely walk, along this beautiful beach, While carrying sandals in his left hand, Kei let the waves soak his bare feet, his right hand was in Hardan's.

"And this is the first time I've walked down the beach hand in hand with a woman... Moreover, that woman is my beloved wife.." I Hardan softly, then chuckled softly before continuing, I continued,

"Before I always considered silly couples who walk hand in hand on the beach, and now I just feel it, it turns out this simple thing has made me happy..."

"You want to promise me something, baby?" ask Kei.

Hardhan stopped his steps, then held onto Kei's shoulder and looked seriously at his face, "Promising what dear?"

"I want at least twice a year to take our kids to the beach... Introduce them to the beauty of nature from an early age. When their minds are still curious about the beauty of the world around them." pinta Kei.

"I'm sure I'll agree, baby, after all, kids learn more effectively by using their five senses, and nature provides endless opportunities for that..."

Hardan took over the sandal shoes from Kei's hands into his hands, then re-mastered Kei with his other hands, and continued their leisurely walk. Until they saw Talita waving to them, asking them to join the others.

"It looks like Alex is about to announce the wedding news, do you want to hear about it?" ask Hardhan.

"I definitely want to hear it, this is what I've been waiting for until it almost made my head break from thinking about it!" furious Kei while looking at Alex and Sonya who were already standing side by side.

Some tables have been merged into one, to extend and enough for all Hardhan's men who come to this island X. Kei sat next to Hardhan, his eyes never escaping the strange married couple in front of him.

Sonya looked sullen, while Alex looked a little agitated. Just this time he saw Alex groggy like that, looking like a human in general.

"What do you want to talk about Lex?" hardhan's fishing line next to the raised eyebrows, after a while there was only silence.

"We're married" Alex said briefly.

Kei's hands grew itchy wanting to strangle the flat creature, "We who?" his insistence is impatient. His eyes met Sonya's eyes, who was looking at him with a guilty feeling.

Sorry, Sonya said without a sound, just moving her lips.

I will kill you, Kei replied soundlessly as well while glaring fiercely.

"Me and Sonya are married." I'm Alex, the atmosphere immediately boisterous with happy cheers and various responses from his men simultaneously.

Simultaneously like a squad of soldiers who were marching, they took turns to greet Alex and Sonya. Until only Kei, Hardhan and Talita remained in their respective places.

Kei looked at Talita, the woman was silent, and her eyes were blank as she looked at Alex, perhaps shocked by the news she had just heard. Kei felt sorry to see Talita like that.

But Kei also won't let Talita continue to approach and seek Alex's attention. Kei will ask Hardhan to speak to Alex, so that Alex can be firm with Talita, and stay away from him.

Sonya sat down beside Kei, her hand instantly squeezing Kei's hand, "Kei... Don't be angry" he said.

Kei immediately pulled out his hand, "You've had plenty of opportunities to tell me Nyaaa, but you never once told me!"

It was not that Kei had intended to strangle Sonya when she announced her marriage, but instead of strangling her, Kei hugged her best friend instead.

"Sorry...." Sonya lirih.

"I should've strangled you... Or hang you with the Jailangkung on the banyan tree... But the reason you got married is what makes me able to forgive you... But still I'm angry because you didn't tell me!" kei Gerricks.

Sonya turned relaxed inside Kei's embrace, then distanced her body a little to see her best friend, "I don't want to make you worry about Kei, considering you're pregnant..."

Kei hugged Sonya again, "Oh dear, unfortunately you are tied to that cold man..."
