MARRIAGE AGREEMENTS
BREAKFAST TOGETHER

While Ernie's feelings were busy raging on her own, her biological daughter who had been watching Samuel's car from behind her bedroom window breathed a sigh of relief.

“Finally go to them too. What was it anyway, from earlier why not leave immediately? What are you talking about with Sam?” babble Aileen to herself. He hurried to clean his desk. After that he reached his phone to order a taxi online.

After getting a driver who was ready to drive himself to where he wanted to go, Aileen then called James. There was a one-time connecting tone which then changed with a familiar voice.

“Halo, Darling,” greet the voice across there cheerful. “A ready to come to my kos?”

“Yes. Ten more minutes of online taxis coming to my house, James. After that I immediately went to your boarding place. See you.”

“Ready, dear,” replied James with a happy smile.

Thus the two young men met in secret to unite love in James's room. At least until Aileen is officially married, it is a safe place for the two men to vent their feelings of longing.

After that, James' inner mischievous. I could at will meet Aileen in the house she was in with her rich husband. Hmm..., it is challenging to make out with someone's wife and even fully facilitated by her own husband! It was as if I had already won the match before the fight. Haha….

***

Come the long-awaited and thrilling day for Aileen Benjamin. Waiting because it was a sign of his freedom to meet James whenever he wanted. Thrilling because the girl had to undergo a complicated wedding ritual with a man she did not love at all, Samuel Manasseh.

Yes, because the whole concept of marriage is arranged according to the will of the perfectionist Tina, then everything must look neat, charming, luxurious, and flawless. Similarly, the party dress that Samuel's birth mother wore. In the morning and afternoon she wore a gold chiffon dress that looked so glamorous with a sprinkling of matching colored crystals. The tail of the dress is very long rivaling the tail of the wedding dress worn by the bride.

Aileen laughed inwardly watching how her mother-in-law was as if she did not want to lose to her daughter-in-law who was supposed to be queen for a day at the event. As for Ernie himself as besan also wore the same cloth as Tina. But the crystal sprinkles on her dress were not so much. In addition, the dress is quite simple and without a tail.

“Mama is beautiful,” praise the princess as sincere as heart. “This dress is very suitable for Mama.”

“Thank you, son,” his mother said was relieved. “Mama did not spend time trying it at the designer's place. It feels good to be so old already wear a flashy party dress.”

“No, Ma,” replied Aileen with a sweet smile. “Mama looks beautiful and graceful. Right, Pa?”

The bride turned to Harris for her opinion. His father nodded. He embraced the wife's shoulder.

“Papa's son is also beautiful once today. Really be queen for a day. May you be happy living your life with Sam, son. Believe me, he is a good young man and is perfect for you.”

Whatever Papa says, his inner daughter is cynical. I had no choice but to agree to this marriage.

His father and mother took turns. There was a feeling of sadness in Aileen's heart because she no longer lived in line with her parents. For twenty-two years of life in this world he never lived far from Ernie and Harris other than if there was a stay for school activities and friends' homes.

Suddenly the girl's pair of beautiful eyes glazed over. Ernie who was quick to respond immediately entertained the only child.

The woman's gentle speech managed to calm her daughter's feelings. All the wedding rituals successfully lived the bride well. And when I met face to face with a handsome Samuel in a brilliant white suit, Aileen whispered seductively, “You look different this way, Sam.”

The groom immediately responded, “Oya? Because of my suit, huh? It's my mama's choice..”

“I know,” cetus short partner. “This suit of yours is really cool like the one used by Korean boy artists. Hehehe...”.

“Masa? Well, that's a compliment to me. Thanks, yes. Means my mama didn't get me wrong in this suit.”

“Don't Aunt Tina like to watch drakor, huh?”

“Definitely. So the taste is good and up to date.”

“I see.”

Suddenly a wedding organizer approached the couple and said, “It's time to go to church. The bride please embrace the groom's arm and walk slowly out of the house. A happy smile, yes. Because it will be shot camera photos and videos.”

The two people in front of him nodded. Then awkwardly the bride embraces the arms of her partner. Samuel's heart was racing. He was both nervous and happy to be so close to Aileen.

During the ritual of opening the bride's veil and kissing both cheeks, Samuel's heart seemed to float in the clouds. He could no longer avoid his feelings. Without realizing it, Aileen Benjamin had occupied a special position in the depths of her heart.

Meanwhile, the bride was actually unceasingly imagining that the man she was with was now James. His heart felt guilty for helplessly preventing Samuel from kissing both cheeks earlier.

I'm sorry, James, he's in his heart. It was just a kiss for the ritual of opening the bride's veil, really. Standard scenes for bridal photography and video.

Then he strengthened his heart to walk with Samuel to the bridal car that would take them both to church. A sacred place where there will be legalization of marriage in religion and state law.

Forgive me, Lord Jesus, the girl's heart aches. I will have to sign the marriage certificate in front of you. You know I had to do that. You know I had no other choice because I wanted to be filial to my parents. You know I never loved Samuel Manasseh and didn't even know him when he was betrothed to me….

“What do you think, Leen?” and Samuel asked suddenly. They were both in the bridal car. “You nervous?”

Aileen nodded in agreement. He then said half a whisper, “I.

“Oya? Why?” ask her husband to be curious.

The girl breathed a long breath. “I feel..anu. Because..because married pretend in the house of God,” he said lirih.

Samuel jerks. For me right now our marriage is no longer pretending, Aileen Benjamin, I am that young man in my heart. Because I fell in love with you….
