Mama'S Twin
Weddings

"Have you signed?" ask Dario. He's calling someone. Looks like Celia.

"good. Send it to the office. Divorce money will be sent after the court decides" Dario said briefly before he hung up.

Dario was about to re-enter but his steps were startled by a figure.

Julie was standing at the door. He looked at Dario while brandishing a letter. Yes, the letter of agreement. Julie had heard the conversation earlier.

Celia has signed the divorce papers. Dario was quite relieved. He didn't think Celia wasn't evasive. He can be so crafty. This time he might have been angry.

Dario smile. A beautiful afternoon view from the balcony of the apartment. Dusk in the frenzied city of Suresh.

A letter from Julie. He just added a few points. Dario came to him quickly.

Marriage is for status only. For the sake of being able to admit his son. But not for the public, not for Mrs Sanio to know.

Julie smilingly received the letter back and kept it.

Dario drove to the office that morning. He changed his car. Shan is waiting. They're dressed well. Black suit and tie with matching color. It's an important day.

Julie pegs herself in front of Athena's mirror. The tall mirror reflected the image of a beautiful and graceful woman wearing a white dress.

"Perfect" Antena said. She was the only companion and witness on the female side.

Dario knocked on the door of the room. Athena opened the door.

"The bride is ready" he said cheerfully.

Dario looked at Julie from behind. Beautiful and graceful. Her blond hair was bristled to the waist.

Julie looked at him. He smiles. Marriage is not his dream. But wearing a dress this beautiful is also very fun. Athena approached him and put a veil on his head. Perfect.

"We're leaving now?" ask Dario.

Julie nodded. Athena followed behind.

The magnificent and classic Hoster House building is a castle. Maple trees and tabebuya trees surround the grounds of the building.

Two cars were parked in his yard covered in fallen leaves.

They left in two different cars. Julie's car with Athena. It was Athena who drove the car.

Dario with Shan. He looked at his watch repeatedly tensely. Dario of course told Grace that Mrs Sanio called, just said she was out of town for a little work. All day long he wanted to be free. It's her wedding day.

Dario remembers his first marriage to Celia. Magnificent, festive but without taste, because it was forced. But he served as a good husband and daughter-in-law for 7 years. If it is love, what is it called love? He was trying to love Celia. But what's the payoff now? He has cheated. If asked if he was hurt, of course he was very hurt.

Dario tried to open his new leaf. He wants to focus on Axton and Julie, as well as the baby she contains.

***

Athena and Shan signed the document as witnesses.

The marriage is now officially recorded. Thomas Dean directly accompanied Dario. He patted his best friend's shoulder. Not many questions, not many know. Just a promise between men that can be trusted. Thomas owes him a favor. Dario the royal financed his studies while in Frankfurt. Thomas's family vanished in the fire. He became an orphan and the foundation only lasted his life until the age of 18. Thomas's a smart high school friend. Scholarships are not enough to survive. Enough money to pay for college. Dario helps her for free without her mother's knowledge. The pocket money is unlimited. Mama gave him a lot of money and Dario didn't like the jabs like rich kids in general.

The wedding has been taken care of.

They returned to the Foster House to change the dress. There's no way Julie's going back to the apartment in a wedding dress.

Dario was waiting for him under the tree. Flowers bloom. The wind blew shaking the branches of the trees. Seems like the season is changing soon.

Julie stepped out of the main door of the Foster House. His shoes were rustling on those dry leaves. Dario. He patted the empty wooden chair next to him. Julie sit.

"Have you been complaining about pregnancy lately?" tanyanya.

Julie shakes. "Only nauseous. Anna's doctor said it was only natural" Julie replied.

"Thank God. When is there a check schedule again?" ask Dario.

"Front week."

"Let me take you."

Julie looked at Dario with a look of annoyance. Yeah, they can't be seen in the hospital too often. That's public space. The risk of being caught will be greater. Dario is known to many.

"I'll go with Antena of course" Julie replied with a frown.

"good. But I will come quietly," Dario insisted.

"No," said Julie quickly.

"Julie, that's my son too. I deserve to know the situation" Dario said forcefully.

"Yes, but not next week. I will tell the results to my father. Or you can ask Anna's doctor directly" Julie said.

Dario let out a long breath. He looked at Julie with a face of pity.

"Julie, don't call me Father anymore. You're my wife now, not my secretary anymore. Just call Dario," he said slowly.

Julie stared at the Foster Home children who were running around catching butterflies. He turned towards Dario who looked limp. Yeah, he's sorry too.

"OKAY. Come quietly and carefully. I'll tell you the clock" Julie said. It finally collapsed as well.

Dario looked at him with a smile. Yes, Julie has accepted it more now.
