He Who Came Among Us
Marriage in the midst of grief

What do you think of hearing the word marriage?.

It must be a happy and haru atmosphere that comes to your mind for giving up your single life with someone you choose and love.

But not so with me, my wedding day is the day I least want to remember. The day my freedom was taken away only because of my family's stupid debts and paychecks.

Yeah, I decided to marry her, I couldn't afford to lose the estate, the Celeste family's hereditary legacy.

Esmerald entered my room to check on me.

"Dear, smile! The bride and groom are sad, your parents must have seen you from heaven there. Aunty wants you to be happy on your birthday, baby," comforted Esmerald, whose eyes were in tears.

"False aunt. I want my own aunt, can't I?" my many.

Esmerald got out of my room.

I see myself in the mirror. The wedding dress, a combination of gold and white ballgown ornate floral embroidery that I wore, was the last gift from both my parents. They chose a dress that was suitable for me. My eyes water when I remember that.

Brakk...

The door opened violently, leaving me flabbergasted.

"Beautiful!" he exclaimed as Topaz walked towards me, "I hope you don't embarrass me at the party, smile! Now you bear the names Celeste and Zephyr, "the warning from Topaz.

"Prepare yourself, just 1 hour away, all right!" he left the room and smiled mockingly.

This guy is crazy! I had to think of a way that I could survive this marriage until I managed to reclaim my family's land.

I didn't expect that the man who had come in kindly at that time could turn arrogant and cold.

Where did the warm smile and kind word go that day?. I asked in my heart.

"Miss, it's time," Eldred entered my room.

I took a deep breath, easing the nervousness that was now crawling over me. Eldred looked at me with his soft eyes.

Eldred was indeed a servant in Celeste's house, but to me he was my second father. Since childhood Eldred's family took care of me when Dad-Mother was busy with his work.

"Miss, run away if that's what's best for you. I don't want miss to be locked away by the agreement that her late master made" Eldred said.

"Thank you uncle, but this is one of the responsibilities I have to do to defend the estate. All I want my uncle to do is be a father to me, Dad!" my door.

"Miss, Eldred will always support you. There's someone else who will support you" he said.

"Who?" many confused.

"Look" said Eldred.

A man entered my room, no less handsome than Topaz. If Topaz exudes an authoritative aura, this man is as warm as the morning sun that shows his hospitality with a dimpled smile on his cheeks.

"Hi! Miss Ruby," she said.

My mind is trying to remember who this man is.

"Looks like miss forgot about me. Unfortunately I only stayed a few years to work Miss has forgotten me," he said grieving.

Eldred just smiled, which made me even more confused.

How could I possibly forget the face of a handsome man. Whose? Say me in my heart.

"Already! Don't tease her anymore, Look at the frown on miss's forehead," Eldred said with a small laugh.

"This old man who serves you is my father" he gave me a hint that made me smile brightly and hugged him.

"Garreth," I said, "I don't recognize you, you've changed a lot" I said.

Garreth is Eldred's son who studies and works abroad, older than me until I consider him a big brother.

"Thank you for coming to my wedding" I said sincerely.

Geck.. Geck..

"Did the noble lady commit an affair before giving up their single period?" a voice came from the door, the three of us immediately turned to the origin of the voice.

Topaz Zephyr was visibly emotional with his jaws clenched and his face hardened revealing his power.

"It's not so, sir! He is my son, who came to congratulate the lady" Eldred explained.

"Oh! Can you guys come out, I have something to talk to my future wife, my beloved," Topaz told me.

After a polite bow, the two left the room and closed the door.

"It's ready, Miss Ruby Celeste," she said, making her left arm bend, "hold on! Why bother, never dated before?" taunted again.

"Hurry up, we have to greet the guests before signing our marriage papers" he said.

I nervously sidelined my right arm on her left arm, and left the room to the back garden of Celeste's already in simple ornamentation.

Some of the guests present I did not recognize, I just smiled and clasped his arm even more tightly, occasionally his right hand gently rubbed my finger giving me a very nervous calmness in the crowd of unknown people.

The marriage was solemn, the sacred promise he made seemed to be done with all his heart. A diamond ring was embedded in my ring finger, and the last kiss declared that we were husband and wife.

A kiss?! how should I kiss her? I never kissed anyone.

Panic began to strike me as his outstretched hand touched part of my chin and neck. His face was getting closer to make my heart beat, when his lips touched my lips immediately I closed my eyes. I felt the softness as well as the warmth, his lips opened slightly and indeed my lips, sending a sensation that my body had never felt before.

Topaz teased my lips many times by kissing them slowly and trying to open my lips that I did not. Until finally he pulled his lips from me which now moved into my ears.

"You should say that this is your first kiss, I can teach you not to be awkward in front of the guests who see, Smile! You've kissed not scolded" she whispered in my ear.

Argha! This man knew it, how many women had tasted his lips? In my heart I was envious of the woman who first kissed her.

My face immediately flushed red, the guests who were looking cheered happily and conveyed congratulations to us. Esmerald smiled as she cried and hugged me.

The excitement of the party continues, the guests alternately greet and say congratulations and happy to us, the guests continued, it was only when the night came that the party was over leaving fatigue in my body that was not used to all this.

"Miss Ruby, here," Garreth gave me a gift, "so I haven't had time to give it, I hope you like it" he said sincerely.

"Thank you Garth, you don't have to bother," I took a gift from him, "your presence has been a gift for me" I smiled.

"I'm sorry for your loss. Sorry when the incident happened to you, I wanted to go home but my boss has not given permission, fortunately at your wedding I can come," he explained.

"I understand, thank you again" I said.

"Rest," he said.

I left Garreth to go to my room with the gift, which I put on my bed, and went to the bathroom to clean myself up.

When I came out of the bathroom, Topaz was sitting on my bed holding Garreth's gift and facing me with her brown eyes as if through my nightgown, which I now clutched tightly to my chest.

His mocking smile was on his handsome face, which was now approaching me. One of her hands hugged my waist and stomped it until my body drew closer to her, both of my hands now on her square chest, revealing the hemispheres of my low sleeping gown.

"You are my wife, tonight is our first night, Miss Ruby Celeste Zephyr" she whispered in my ear, giving me goosebumps to hear all her words.

With all my might I want to push him away from me, not yet have I done the hand on my waist has been released causing me to lose balance until I fall backward.

"Aww," I groaned in pain.

"Ups!" he sneered, "don't have any thoughts of taking your husband down" he accused as he walked into the bathroom.

The sound of a faucet rang out from the bathroom, I stood up and stroked my aching back.

Selfish guy! He said husband but why not help me. My meaning in my heart.

I opened a gift from Garreth. An album that seemed to be hand-made, had a letter in it.

...For Miss Ruby, please,...

...Happy new life, may you find eternal happiness on your birthday. Don't lose your parents to grieve, because now you have found someone who will comfort you. Smile, so that your beauty radiates. My prayer, your marriage is loving and lasting. Fill this album with all your good memories so you can tell your son later....

...Garrett Baeur....

I was moved after reading it, my eyes became teary. Not realizing that the bathroom door had opened, Topaz looked at me from a distance with a towel wrapped around his waist.

"It looks like that cheap gift is worth more than the diamond I gave you," he said.

I turned my gaze away from the gift on my lap, my eyes wide at the sight Topaz was showing.

His body was so athletic, his muscles were well-groomed, slim yet strength radiated from him.

Why is he bare-chested? There are no bathrobes and clothes in the bathroom. My mind was restless because my heartbeat was pounding.

"flick! I know you like my body shape, "god,"Aren't you going to have it?" walk towards me.

Uh! Have it?! Uh! It's bridal night. Panicked exciting.

"You like soft play? Full-flamed? or a little rough?" tanyanya in a soft voice teased me.

My body is now in his trap, his hands are on each side of my body, leaving no room for me to move.

What will he do on the night of our bride? This guy is too sensual to turn down.

Can I do it without love?.
