Magic Love
I'm Willing

...***...

The day that Kezia had not anticipated finally arrived. A marriage without love must be carried by Kezia. Now, the woman is putting on makeup. Assisted by MUA and accompanied by Aruna.

"Udah, uh. Crying from earlier. It's the MUA, nambalin make-up is not kelar-title!" Aruna grumbled at her brother, who somehow could not hold back the tears that kept coming out of the eye patch.

For the umpteenth time, Kezia swept away the tears using a tissue. Both of his eyes were already puffy from crying from last night. "I don't want to cry anymore either, Na. I have accepted my destiny to marry me like this. But these tears won't stop coming out of it. Maybe it's rainy season again, so the supply's plenty inside."

Aruna clucked, then rolled her eyes irritated. It had been three hours that she accompanied Kezia in dressing up and was not allowed to go out. Do not ask how the look of the face of MUA they rent. A simple makeup that should be finished within an hour, should be lost just because of Kezia's cry. If only he hadn't been paid that much, maybe the fairy would have run away by now.

"Eh, Brother. The Abi, right, the rich man. Why don't you have a fancy wedding party, si? Let your marriage be known to many. This even asked for a wedding ceremony, at home, and only attended by family," added Aruna, even invited her brother to talk when MUA was wearing a wedding dress to Kezia.

"Keep unraveling this brother's disgrace?" hatch Kezia while holding her stomach.

"Yes, not really. After all, the stomach is still flat. Not going to look the same to people. Loss, loh, Brother. From the beginning, well, yes, I always hoped that my marriage would only be once in a lifetime. The most memorable event in his life anyway, then faithful to our partner forever." Aruna who was sitting at the side of the dressing table raised her head, her gaze glaring far ahead. Dream about a happy future marriage with only one partner. He did not want to imitate the father who had divorced his mother.

"That's if the marriage is based on love, Aruna. My marriage is different, Na. Different! You, uh. Make your sister sad."

Kezia's words bring Aruna back from her imagination. Putting on a regretful face because it had hurt her brother accidentally. "Sorry, brother, sorry! I forget. Uh, but maybe, right, your marriage will last until death separates. What matters is that you must be equally loyal."

"Thou, ah. My sister didn't think that way. The important thing is that our family's good name is not ruined because of brother's stupidity." Kezia took a deep breath and took it out slowly. Increase her patience and strength for her heart now. He has resigned and accepted the situation. About the future, how God will decide.

"Bak, diem first, yes. This make-up has to be done again." When finished with the wedding dress. MUA switched again on Kezia makeup for umpteenth time. He was a little upset because the two brothers were even engrossed in chatting, while he felt arrogant. Soon the marriage contract will begin, and if the makeup is not yet finished then he will be scolded.

Half an hour of time was short enough to fix Kezia's makeup that had always been washed away by tears before. Maybe the tears had dried up, so they no longer disturbed Kezia's makeup. Now, the woman is ready to meet her new life that will be like nothing.

"Darling, I miss you." Aruna jumped in shock as there was a burly hand that suddenly coiled around her stomach from behind. Who else would dare to be insolent towards Aruna, if not a Juno who loved her so much.

"Juno, you're nothing, si! If anyone saw what? Below is still a show." Aruna must have been a big boy. After the wedding ceremony was over, Aruna permission to leave her brother's wedding to go to the room for a while, and it was followed by Juno who managed to sneak in secretly.

"It's okay. At most we are married too" said Ngawur Juno. Instead of letting go, his hands were even hugging tighter. Even sassyly sucked his head in the recess of Aruna's neck, seeking comfort there.

"I don't want to." Aruna was uncomfortable. He tried to escape Juno's embrace.

Aruna's refusal made Juno raise her head. He turned his lover's body to face her. "You don't want to marry me?" he asked with disappointment.

"okay, deal. I agree with your idea. From tomorrow we plan everything." Juno smiled at Aruna's request.

"What is that time?" aruna Protest. His face snatched in annoyance, with Juno's attitude that impressed the originals. "You haven't bedded me, Juno!" With a tone full of emphasis Aruna spoke again furious. The man seemed insensitive to a woman's dream. Being romantically proposed to by a loved one, before the wedding day.

Juno chuckled, he clasped Aruna's body furiously. "You're so funny, anyway. Of course I'll propose to you first. Come on, come with me!"

"Where are you going?" asked Aruna confused.

Juno did not answer. He merely commented a smile while pulling Aruna's hand.

Inevitably the woman's feet also stepped, following in the footsteps of Juno who walked in front of him.

Juno takes Aruna to the garden behind her house. There, it turns out that the entire family has been gathered to be the guests of Kezia's wedding party. Including a pair of brides who just an hour ago said kabul ijab in front of the penghulu.

He took Aruna with him in the crowd of their families. Juno looked at Aruna lovingly, while Aruna was bowed in shame for being a spectacle all over. "Juno, you're doing it, anyway. I'm embarrassed, you know!" the whispered slightly tiptoed Aruna approached Juno's ears, with a still downward glance.

"Ngapain shy? They're all our family." Juno raised Aruna's chin slowly. Shows a reddish hue that is fluttered on the smooth cheeks of the woman. "But if you're shy, your face is funny, you know. So it's my gem," Juno added with a nosy smile. Aruna was embarrassed of course. Especially hearing the giggling sounds around him. It felt like Aruna wanted to drown herself.

Aruna had not yet opened her lips to refute. Juno's subsequent behavior makes Aruna have to swallow her words back. His heartbeats were out of control, his blood flow was racing. Both of his eyes were nervous. Looking at Juno who was now kneeling.

Juno's hand reached into the pocket of the suit she was wearing, took out a red box and opened it in front of Aruna. Contains a fancy ring with real diamond eyes on it. The glint of the reflection of light from the diamond stone was dazzling to the eyes. However, Aruna could not blink looking at him.

"Aruna Rhea. In front of our entire family, I want you to say 'yes'. Will you be my wife? Being the mother of my children? To be my ribs?"

A strand of proposal that seemed to force it ejected from Juno's lips. Everyone seemed to be silently watching. Follow felt nervous, because Aruna even went silent for a long time without a sound.

"Aruna, answer 'yes', son! Cassian's mommy's son if you refuse again." The sentence of coercion was thrown from Ara's lips. Mothers and children have the same genes. They both like to force. A quiet atmosphere accompanies the existing atmosphere. Juno must swallow her saliva when Aruna does not answer her proposal.

There was no choice but to follow their request. This is Aruna's wish as well. Reviewing the thin, almost invisible smile, Aruna took a momentary breath. Then confidently said, "yes, I'm willing."
