Long Journey of Tough Women
81. Happy Day

Everyone, let alone a woman, must crave a marriage. For marriage to a woman is an honor that will lead her to become a queen, who will always stand beside her man under any circumstances. Eda Sally

This morning, in every room, there was a tremendous rush. Each of them was busy preparing themselves since dawn because of Erik and Yuana's wedding which will take place at exactly 09:00.

Yuana who was temporarily made over by a makeup artist who had been hired, did not take out a word. His mind was completely stifled as another 2.3 hours of his status would change from a girl to a mistress. He was self-aware, that he could not do household affairs, let alone take care of a husband. Plus, the fear of obligations that he had to run as a wife made him flutter recklessly.

His mind floated everywhere, until he was unconscious when the makeup artist had finished his work and fixed his equipment.

His consciousness returned when the door of their room was knocked and then there was a ringing sound of the door sign someone opened the door from the outside.

From behind the large mirror that was plastered in front of her, Yuana saw Joshua standing gallantly at the door, wearing a suit that made her good looks even more visible. He smiled from behind the mirror without any intention of turning his body.

Joshua, who realized that Yuana saw him, immediately walked towards his sister with a smile and strengthened his heart. She knew her father should be here to take Yuana to the undercover, not her. However, he still clearly remembered his father's message before he died, so that he took care of his sister and mother. Two women who are always on his mind.

"You're so pretty." Joshua said near.

"thank you. Brother was also very handsome this morning." Reply Yuana.

Alika and Agatha were also misbehaved at Joshua's good looks until their gazes did not depart from Joshua's face.

"Are you ready?" Joshua asked Yuana

"It's brother." Yuana replied steadily, despite heavy breathing.

"OK! We're about to enter the wedding hall because the show's about to start."

Joshua stretched out his hand, that Yuana might hold him. Yuana immediately wrapped her hands and walked slowly while leaning her head on Joshua's shoulder. Agatha and Alika immediately followed them from behind.

After arriving at the door and about to enter the room where the event was going to take place, Yuana held back her steps. Joshua was shocked by what Yuana was doing. He finally stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"Stand up for a minute, brother. I want to calm my heart first."

Joshua understood and stopped then hugged Yuana to calm his feelings.

"Can we come in?"

Yuana nodded with a forced smile. They immediately entered and walked on the red carpet accompanied by Agatha, Arthur, Alika, and Habib.

From afar Erik stood with Bram's secretary beside him. A happy smile was seen on the faces of Erik and Bram's secretary. Erik was completely fascinated with Yuana's beauty which made the smile on his lips widen even more.

The entrance procession of the bride and groom had arrived in front of Erik and Bram's secretary. Joshua, still holding Yuana by the hand, did not immediately hand over Yuana to Erik. He steadied his heart and forced himself to smile so as not to make Yuana cry.

"From this moment on, I leave my only brother and my most precious treasure to you. I hope you can look after, protect, cherish, and encourage her as I have often done to her."

"Never intend to betray her or hurt her for any reason. Never make her cry in sadness and solitude."

"If you make my sister tear from her eyes, then I will make you bleed from your body. And if your hand leaves a slap or bump on his body because of violence, then I will repay it many times over by making your body remove a wound that hurts more than my sister feels."

"I will always remember your message! And I will protect and guard her more than I protect and take care of myself. Trust me!" Erik answered steadily with a smile.

Erik then brought Yuana to the court accompanied by the secretaries of Bram and Joshua.

The wedding ceremony and the sacred promise promised by the two brides went smoothly without any obstacles.

There was no congratulation from the invitation or guests, as no one was invited. This event was only attended by themselves, and some hotel staff and photographers who will capture a one-time moment in life.

I never thought I would get married this way. There were no luxuries and invitations of elite people that made me dizzy to see him. I don't need to see people coming with expensive gifts just to steal my father's attention. And I am happier to be accompanied by those who are modest but whose heart is sincerely following me. Erik

Their marriage is now legally and religiously legal as Bram's secretary has taken care of everything in the civil registry with Arthur. They have also been renamed according to a false identity that was provided by Bram's secretary before Erik came to the UK.

Bram's secretary has advised Agatha, Alika, Arthur, and Habib not to call upon Erik and Yuana's real names. Just call mister and miss.

They then enjoy the various menus that have been provided by the hotel. Everyone was enthusiastic and enjoyed the food. Only Yuana looks to be tinkering with her food like a person with no appetite.

"Tonight, we will stay at this hotel. And tomorrow at 10:00 am, I, Joshua, and Arthur will leave for London by train, and then go straight back to Indonesia." Secretary Bram explained.

"Why so fast?" Yuana asked nervously.

"Because we're only allowed until tomorrow." Joshua answered.

Yuana seemed to catch her breath and looked at Joshua. He had imagined what would happen if they came home. That means he has to live with Erik. Just imagining it made him shudder himself.

Joshua, who understood what Yuana was thinking, looked at Yuana who was looking at him with a smile. This time, Joshua chose not to sit near Yuana. He allowed Erik to sit next to Yuana while eating. He is self-aware that he has to keep his distance from Yuana, because Erik's status is now more important than his.

Joshua was relieved that there was someone who would take care of his brother. He no longer had to worry when he was away from his sister.

"Yes! For tonight, I will sleep with Joshua, while Arthur with Habib, and Alika with Agatha. While Erik and Yuana, have been provided with a special room that has been in makeup since the morning by the hotel."

The deg!!

Yuana's heart raced fiercely, and nervousness assaulted her so that the spoon she was holding fell and made a painful sound to the ears.
