Mike stopped his car in front of the Sanchez family mansion. Reggie was still asleep next door, soundly uninterrupted. Mike decided not to wake her. He descended slowly and stepped closer to the main door of the mansion. He was greeted by a widened servant when he saw him. Nervously the waiter invited him in and suggested he wait in the lounge near the garden next to the mansion.
Mike stood waiting on the side porch towards the garden when he saw the side door still open. He felt alone in the lounge. Mike put both hands in the bag and stood looking up at the night sky.
The sound of footsteps coming then stopped, making Mike turn his head slowly. Lucius was already standing at the end of the room with his hair bound and eyes glistening like a diamond glint in his ears. He was wearing a light gray turtleneck long-sleeved shirt that looked fittingly wrapped around his body.
"Where's Regina?" Fizz Lucius.
"Where is Mr Eloy?" Ask Mike casually.
Lucius crossed his arms, taking a slow step while still looking at Mike. Black shirts and denim pants that are also black make Mike look dangerous. Mike turned around and entered the room with a very slow step. The two men circled the room with eyes staring at each other.
"You kidnapped my sister!!"
"Yes....And I won't apologize for that!"
Lucius tightened his molars, both of them still stepping in with calculated slow steps.
"Where is he? What did you do to him!!"
"I married her." Mike replied casually.
"What!!"
"We've married Lucius! I'm just here to tell you and Mr. Eloy. "
Lucius stopped stepping, he stood facing Mike with his legs outstretched and hands crossed. "Married you said....." Hisses.
Mikepun stopped, he looked at Lucius sharply, judging what his brother-in-law was going to do.
Meanwhile outside the Sanchez mansion, rows of cars arrived together, one after another couples and individuals descended and greeted each other and shook hands.
Derek and Amy smiled at the Langton Clan's extended family who had gone with them to Sanchez's mansion.
"Why so quiet, Derek. You said the new bride was back." Alex narrowed his gaze into the mansion. Eve breezed away from the men while holding Amy. A couple followed them.
The waiter who opened the door looked even more wide-eyed, this time an impromptu guest with this large entourage made him a little frightened and confused. He ran quickly to call his great master Eloy Sanchez who was talking to Lance in his study. Both of them were dressed casually, so the waiter was very confused.The guests out there came here with makeup ready to party.
"Tu....Signore.....In..outside...." The waiter was very confused.
"Slowly......Say it clearly." Lance tried to calm the waiter down. After a few breaths, the waiter was able to speak fluently.
"Many guests came to the mansion, sir. They had already entered the hall, some had even sat down and chatted while waiting for Master, some were still chatting outside the mansion."
Lance and Mr. Eloy frowned.
They look at each other.
"Wear your wheelchair, sir. I'd encourage you to meet them "Lance helped his Master get into a wheelchair, Mr. Eloy still hasn't been very smoothly running and that too should be helped with crutches.
They passed towards the front hall to see who their guests were.
"Mr Eloy.....We came to have fun with you. We know the bride is back. Where're they? I'd love to meet...." Amy Langton's friendly chatter that immediately grabbed Eloy's hand and kissed her cheek like a father, made Eloy Sanchez speechless, surprised and confused.
"Wedding? You mean Madam?" Lance could not help his curiosity.
BRAKKKKKKK!!!!
A loud sound that sounded like something slamming came from the side hall that was directly connected to the garden door. Derek is happy with Alex.
"It's already started..." Said Alex.
"We came with the Langton clan's extended family here, Mr. Eloy. We would like to join you in welcoming our newlyweds who have just returned home...." Derek smiled at Eloy Sanchez who after a few seconds understood all the situations. Especially after a spate of mockery and yelling from Lucius and Mike that sounded loud from the direction of the side hall. Lance also noticed it and felt astonished that none of their guests were bothered by the commotion.
"They're back .....?" Eloy asked with a smile. Derek nodded while looking at Eloy's black eyes. Seeking rejection or disapproval in those old eyes. But he did not find it.
"Don't we have to share this happiness, Mr. Eloy? I came with my extended family..."
Eloy Sanchez held herself back from laughing out loud. Derek Langton takes his extended family to tell the Sanchez family that they will stand with Mike when necessary to defend Regina. Eloy knows that......
A pat on his shoulder made Eloy turn. Frank Damario smiled as he said.
"Let's just relax and have a little chat, Sanchez. Let these young people have fun."
Eloy smiled widely, she turned her head as several youths brought in food and drinks with laughter and teasing.
"The successors of the family under the Langton clan......We're going to enliven your mansion tonight." Frank Damario followed as Lance pushed Eloy into the group of several middle-aged men who were already sitting leisurely on the sofa.
"Let's join Eloy. Ah....I'm sorry, it's okay to call a name, right? " Uncle Noel whose hair was mostly bleached welcomed Eloy among them. Eloy Sanchez smiled broadly.
Back the screams and the sound of something being destroyed sounded from the side hall. Derek and Alex looked at each other and moved in rhythm towards the scene of the commotion. Derek immediately catches the body of Lucius who is locking Mike's body on the floor of the mansion. The blood on the man's temple had already soaked the turtleneck shirt he was wearing.
After Derek pulls and locks Lucius' body, the freed Mike immediately gets up. However his body was pulled and pushed by Alex who held back his movements to back punch Lucius. Mike himself looked completely unkempt. Alex is sure that by morning these two men will have a bluish bruise all over his face.
"You're interrupting our party. So continue your activities out there....." Derek pushed the already breathless Lucius towards the vacant ground in the side garden. Alex also pushed Mike so hard that he fell on a vacant lot near Lucius. The two men growled at Alex and Derek who were already at the waist.
"Don't make a fuss!! you guys are so annoying!!" Shouted Derek. Then both of them were just left on that empty land. Mike wiped away the blood that was dripping on his chin. His lips hurt as well as his right shoulder that Lucius had smashed into the concrete wall.
Lucius pulled his long hair that had been untied and felt sticky on his throbbing face and his gray t-shirt was already stained with his own blood-red color from the torn wound on his temple.
"Still want to continue this? Because I have to move Regina. He's still asleep in the car." Mike rubbed his jaw and moved his mouth and neck repeatedly. As if trying to eliminate the stiffness and pain there.
A man with a drink came at them from the porch door.
"Mike!! Lucius!! Come inside!! You're gonna run out of dinner!! The vikings inside had already eaten first!!"
Uncle Damario's voice reached Mike's ears. He chuckled because the Vikings that Uncle Damario meant must have been young children of the Langton clan's successor family. Mike got up and cleaned his pants by removing the dirt stuck on his thigh. Lucius was still sitting on the ground with both arms attached to his bent knees.
"You love her?"
The sudden question made Mike stop.
"Yes....Very very." Reply sure.
"You're gonna look after him?"
"With my life...."
Mike glanced at Lucius who looked up at him. He reached out, hesitating whether Lucius would accept it or not.
Lucius stared at the outstretched large palm for a moment before he accepted it and was pulled to his feet. He began to shake off the dirt from the grass that was stuck in his pants.
"You gave your blessing?" Mike stood waiting until Lucius was done. The same black eyes that belonged to his wife glanced then smiled amusedly before saying a word.
"The most important thing to me is that Regina is happy. Anyways...... Who do you think made you finally confess your feelings? "
Mike frowning. " you mean? How's the engagement with Adrian?"
"Oh....Adrian will still be engaged. The ring will be coiled on Margarita's finger......I forgot to tell you guys back then, what Adrian was asking for wasn't Regina." Lucius casually leaves Mike alone in the side garden. He entered and saw the small mess created by the Langton Clan in his mansion. His father had already laughed along with the old men of the Langton clan who looked to be the same age as him. Lance seemed busy taking care of the Madam and Langton clan ladies who wanted to play music, arrange food, open drinks until busy looking for the cutlery desired by the women.
Mike was silent for a long time, pinching the ground under his feet. Adrian didn't propose to Reggie? .......A margarita? After a while, he finally understood..... Mike laughed amusedly alone in the garden by the side while incessantly shaking his head.
Lucius chuckled at Amy who came to him and put a piece of cake in his mouth. Soon her mouth opened and chewed on the cake that was fed by Amy.
"Hows it? This is a new recipe I learned. Is delicious?" Mrs Langton was waiting with sparkling eyes.
"Emmmmm...." Lucius only muttered, his tail catching Derek moving quickly towards them.
"Sweety.....Which one is your cake? I haven't tasted it....."His whisper while hugging Amy's waist from behind. Lucius smiled amusedly as Derek sighed his wife away.
In the courtyard of the mansion, Reggie who had woken up, got out of the car and turned around looking at the courtyard of the mansion in a daze. Who's coming all these nights to Sanchez's mansion? Is it her father's guest? or Lucius' guest?
With curious steps Reggie walked towards the main door. The sight of Langton's extended family passing by and laughing made him stand still, shocked and confused.
"Reggie!! Everything ......Bride's coming!!" Amy's screaming voice made all eyes finally turn to look at her. Reggie blushes to realize they've all come to greet him. He was still standing and confused as to what to do when Mike came from his left with a swollen face and torn lips.
"Mike!! Your face!!" Reggie approached and tried to touch her husband's face. But Mike's hand caught his hand and he was immediately hugged from behind with his face facing toward the Langton family who were seen starting to fill their respective glasses.
"Everything.....I'm introducing my beautiful wife....!! Regina Eliazar!!" Mike's call was met with tweets, shouts and joyful laughter with a few raised glasses toasting over their new status as a married couple.
"Kiss your wife Mike!!" I don't know who had shouted, provoking a joyous cry from the others.
Mike chuckled, turned Regina towards him and started looking down.
"We're slow, Honey. My lips hurt." Said Mike before his father brought his lips closer to the lips of his wife who had been harrumphed. Through the tail of his eyes Mike glanced towards the corner. On the pair of black eyes that looked towards them with a wide smile and eyes sparkling like diamond lightning in the left ear of the man who was already his sister-in-law.
