Mr. Daniel Secret Wife
TDSW 3'S. Wedding Held
"I'll follow Brother's decision" Keyra finally nodded despite the doubts. His call to Daniel also changed immediately. Calling Daniel the same call they used to be in high school. It would be unethical to still speak formally in their conversation after knowing that Daniel recognized him.
"Alright, then now let's go out and meet them" Daniel asked Keyra who still looked dazed.
"Can we start sir?" daniel said to the village chief and others who were waiting for their arrival.
"Before we wanted to make sure first. Does the bride really have no guardian?" the Winara village chief asked the question that was addressed to Kerya. Although Daniel had previously explained but it was their duty to make sure that what they heard from the groom before was not a lie and there was no conspiracy in this case. Residents can hear themselves if in the discussion Daniel and Keyra previously did not mention the guardian of marriage. Which means the two townsmen are not in cahoots.
The room door was deliberately made open by Daniel so as not to add to the misunderstanding of the residents of both. She wasn't sure people would leave the door closed when she asked for time to talk to Keyra.
"Right sir, my father is dead. Even with my grandfather and my parents only being an only child, I was also an only child. I can show you the proof sir" said Keyra who did not want to be back in suspicion of the answer he gave. The woman showed evidence of her family identity.
After seeing the evidence shown by Keyra in the form of a copy of the family card, and also showed the family card of his grandfather from his father and his mother in the village apparatus. Now everything is clear if Keyra no longer has a guardian and they agree that the guardian of Keyra will be represented by the judge.
There are no fancy dresses and suits, nor are there any magnificent dresses. Both of them do well with their makeshift appearance. Keyra with her work suit, was the same as Daniel who only wore her work suit everyday.
Now Daniel and the ruler shake hands, ready to recite the agreement.
"I marry you brother Daniel Wijaya bin Raihan Wijaya with Keyra Dinata bint Aditya Dinata with a dowry in the form of cash of thirty-two billion rupiahs, logan Mulia weighs three hundred and eight grams and shares of DK Corporation amounted to five percent cash" said the ruler while shaking Daniel's hand.
"I accept the marriage and her guardian Keyra Dinata bint Aditya Dinata with the dowry paid in cash" Daniel replied in a single breath.
"How are the witnesses, legitimate"
"Well..."
"Alhamdulillah"
Keyra was glued in his place to hear the value of the dowry given to him. His mouth was not even believing.
"Key" Daniel's call instantly resuscitates Keyra. The man would put their wedding ring in the wife's hand but Keyra did not seem to hear instructions from the ruler.
"Hand" asked Daniel gently.
Keyra who understood Daniel's intentions finally thrust his hand and Daniel immediately pinned a diamond ring on the ring finger of his impromptu wife. It fits perfectly and looks beautifully as the billion-priced ring is perched on Keyra's finger. Finished with the ring finger Keyra is now Daniel's turn to be paired ring on his ring finger. Keyra was unable to cover up her nervousness when she touched the burly hand. The hand he had never imagined could be touched under the circumstances he was in.
After the ring-mounting event was over, Keyra kissed Daniel's hand and was countered with Daniel giving a brief peck on his forehead. The citizens who witnessed the impromptu wedding began to disperse. They are already quite satisfied with marrying people who are considered to be adulterous in the village they have been guarding.
"We'd better go home. This work problem I've turned to Alex" Daniel said amid Keyra's confusion.
Keyra looked at Alex who was pointed out by her husband, ah her husband what she could call it that now.
"This is Alex, this is my assistant Key" said Daniel, who almost forgot to introduce his wife to the assistant. Wife?, has he really become a household head by now.
Everything was very sudden, their status changed in a matter of hours and neither Daniel nor at all expected it. Today's incident was never thought of by either of them. Very far from the original plan of those who came to this village for a job.
"Keyra, Alex"
Alex lowered his head staring at the hand of his wife's impromptu boss. The man was in a dilemma between accepting the tiny white helping hand or not. Keyra is now Daniel's wife, his boss and best friend. Alex has to respect Keyra just as much as Daniel.
Gathering his courage, Alex returned Keyra's helping hand and was of course very brief. As much as possible he quickly pulled his hand back before Daniel became angry with him. He had gotten enough of Daniel's anger at disappearing in the precarious situation before.
"Sister Alex is an alumnus of the International Space School right?" ask Keyra who recognized Alex as her senior first. He sure doesn't misidentify people but who knows. Which Keyra remembers Alex a generation with Daniel, the two have been friends for a long time.
"It's true, you remember?" alex answered excitedly, glad that someone recognized him.
The appearance of Daniel's best friend during school is far from different from today. No wonder his friends, juniors or seniors never recognized him again. Alex when the school is a nerdy man, his appearance is also somewhat geeky for the size of men who attend international space school. Because of his appearance Alex often becomes bulian material of his friends.
"Of course, where might Keyra not remember. Senior sister Keyra used to be a role model at school" Keyra replied.
"Ah really?" Alex scratched his non-itchy nape. Embarrassed to hear Keyra call her a role model, her cheeks even flushed slightly due to misbehavior. It doesn't feel right that word was meant for him.
"Yes, it's great to see you again. It's been a long time" Keyra said enthusiastically. Compared to Daniel Keyra, I feel more comfortable talking casually to Alex. I don't know, Alex is also a great guy, no less great than Daniel yes even though Daniel is always the best in their school academically. Maybe because the social status between Alex and Keyra at school was not much different. Both are recipients of scholarships in the international space school, which makes Keyra feel not reluctant to Daniel's friend.
"Yes it's been a long time, a dozen years we haven't met because we've been busy chasing each other's dreams" Alex replied a little stiffly.
"Yes yes, it was a long time ago. Keyra didn't even realize it had been a dozen years" Keyra responded.
The two chatted like they had forgotten the whereabouts of Daniel who was also standing there right beside Keyra. The man now showed his flat expression of being annoyed at the woman who had just become his wife as well as his best friend. Daniel who used to be the center of attention is now ignored by the two people beside him. No wonder, this is not the first time because Daniel will always be neglected when in the middle of the two people.
"Now we go home" Daniel asked.
"You better prepare the right excuse when it disappeared earlier. After the business here is done, see me immediately" Daniel told Alex in a cold tone.
After finishing his sentence Daniel pulled Keyra's hand to the car in a slight hurry. The man even slightly pushed Keyra's body into the car.
"Road sir" Daniel ordered the driver who had been waiting for them.
In the car driven by driver Daniel was seen once the atmosphere full of awkwardness of the newly completed bride and groom carrying out the agreement. Both are equally soluble in each other's minds.
Keyra never imagined if he would get married and with this condition. At an age that is very mature there will certainly be demands to get married and build a household but it applies to normal people out there. Unlike Keyra who only lives a day, no one who will advise her about marriage is embedded in her brain just want to live the rest of her life alone.
From a small Keyra has been required to be independent, think before his time and many things that have been passed Keyra alone. The bitter memories he went through as a young man were so fleeting that it may have been a trauma for him. Harmonious life was far from the reach of Keyra when the incident befell his family. And Keyra decided not to repeat the same stupidity as her father did.
After the departure of his father Keyra chose to shut himself off from the outside world, which he had in mind was just work and work. He is determined to raise as much money as possible to live his life alone. Thinking if something happens to him in the future maybe no one will help him because that material he has is very important. Keyra is not too concerned about it because he deliberately closed his interaction with the people around him.
The cruel world he faced so far made Keyra choose to avoid people who potentially would hurt him. Lying if he says not lonely, in fact all this time only the void he got. Living life alone is not easy, but such a life has become his choice. Keyra has to keep her heart from breaking, she doesn't want to be as pathetic as her father because of love.
Once his family was so happy that betrayal was committed by the woman who gave birth to him. His world was instantly shattered just like that, the pseudo happiness promised by humans could not be used as a handle on life. Keyra himself does not know how the details of the destruction of his family but the definite and ingrained in his memory all started from the betrayal of the woman. Keyra hates her so much and she prays that they may never see each other again in the future.
"Let's get off" Daniel took to Keyra as they reached one of the nearby airports of Winara village. They will continue their journey on Daniel's private jet.
"Good afternoon Young Master" said a bodyguard greeting.
"Hm" Daniel replied with his flat face.
"Our journey will be long, you can sleep first I will wake up Key" said Daniel broke Keyra daydream.
Keyra heard the sound very clearly but was not interested in giving a response, his net turned to glance at the view from the glass of Daniel's private jet. Actually not enjoying the scenery but thinking what will happen to his life later.
Married, yes now she is married. Can he repeat the time before this marriage. Once combed by the charm of the man who became his first love until he resigned and agreed this marriage. Daniel, his senior when he was in high school, was the only man who made his heart beat so abnormally. Long plumbed his feelings until Keyra realized that his heart had fallen on Daniel's charm. As much as possible and as hard as he can, he suppresses his feelings so as not to get caught up in the world of romance that can destroy his life in the future. And Keyra can get through it all to this day, all he has is only he who knows because indeed Keyra has no friends or friends who become his confidant. Then what should he do now, his status was already different today.
What Keyra had to do was follow her father's words, trying to the extent of time where he would give up on protecting her. The father once said that everyone has a different destiny. The fate that befell his father will not necessarily befall Keyra. Without feeling his tears dripping when the shadow of the father crossed. Keyra quickly deleted it, she did not want to look weak in front of anyone.
Unfortunately, when the tiny hand wiped his tears, Daniel saw it. The man asked himself if Keyra was so unhappy today?. How they should get through their wedding days in the future.
Sorry Key, today must be very hard for you, Daniel murmured in his heart.
Daniel shifted his position slightly to get closer to his wife. His burly hand carried Keyra's head and rested it on his shoulder so that Keyra could sleep comfortably.
***
"Key" called Daniel to gently wake the sleeping wife on their way.
"Eungh" Keyra bellowed, slowly starting to open her eyes. A little bit of it adjusts to the light.
"We have arrived" said Daniel.
Keyra frowned, a moment later waking up if she was fast asleep. With the state still a little dazed Keyra tried to browse around. He clearly heard the word until it came out of Daniel's mouth. I don't know where but for sure they stopped not in the neighborhood of his apartment.
Wait, wait, Keyra rounded her eyes when she realized something strange.
"Aren't we on the plane?" ask Keyra. Yes he remembered before they were on a plane and subconsciously fell asleep. But he's in the car sitting right next to Daniel.
"Yes, we were on a plane but someone slept really well. I asked them for help to get someone to move into the car to continue the journey" Daniel joked, pointing to two bodyguards sitting in the front of the car. One is in charge of driving and the other is in charge of observing the circumstances around. Wherever they are, the safety of the heir is paramount.
Cut?, Inner Keyra asked.
It felt like his body weight was not that heavy. Does it take some people to lift their thin bodies?.
Oh Keyra, compared to that you should be better off thinking about why you can fall asleep like a buffalo until someone lifts you up. Stupid, it's Keyra.
"I'm kidding, you're not that heavy to have to be carried" said Daniel when he saw the look of shy face displayed by Keyra.
"But maybe a little dragged" he added.
Whatt, Keyra immediately stared intently at Daniel bravely. He seemed to have forgotten who the man before him was. Who would dare to do such a teaching attitude to the young master of Wijaya Group. But Keyra was really angry, which was really her pretty body being dragged away. Who is not angry if the body that is well maintained so far is treated arbitrarily and without permission.
"I was just kidding Key" Daniel chuckled ruffling Keyra's hair. Keyra's sharp gaze was not at all creepy for him to look very adorable.
"Stop brother, his hair is so messy" annoyed Keyra pulled Daniel's hand forcibly.
"Some of you take it seriously. How could I possibly drag a woman"
"Yes who knows" retorted Keyra ketus.
"No, let alone a beautiful woman like you" Daniel said.
"Ehem..thanks for the ride, sorry to bother" said Keyra bertehem cover up his feelings of misconduct, choosing to divert the discussion. The woman knew Daniel might not be serious about it and mean nothing to the man. But oh come on, she's a woman who's fallen for Daniel's charm. The words that Daniel had just spoken were very influential to him. His heart was pounding unbecoming just because of that seduction sentence.
Keyra's move will open the car door, intending to return home soon to her apartment but Daniel's burly hands hold her back.
"Where are you going?" daniel asked even though he knew the answer to his question.
"Go home" Keyra replied without burden.
"Where to?" Daniel asked again.
"Of course to my apartment Mr. Daniel" Keyra replied, beginning to get upset that Daniel kept holding him.
"Wait" Daniel sighed then got down and circled the car opening the door for Keyra.
"Let's go down and come with me, we have to talk to Key" Daniel said as gently as possible to face the woman in front of him. Do not let them fuss on the first day they just become husband and wife. Yes although this marriage is not the desire of both but everything has happened.
Keyra was still silent in his place, bowing in worry with Daniel's invitation. Really his body now wants to rest but it's not true that they have to talk. The longer the delay, the longer it takes to get a solution to their complex problems.
"Come Key" take Daniel back.
Keyra said he stepped down from the car and followed Daniel inside.
"Sir" said Narsih, the housekeeper who works at Daniel's house.
He was quite surprised to see his master come home early on the day of work. Usually they never cross each other if the working day is like this. Only on weekends if the man was spending time in the house was very rare because usually during the weekend Daniel will go home to the mansion owned by his parents.
Bik Narsih was in charge of cleaning Daniel's penthouse and usually the work would be done during the day or maybe sometimes finished in the afternoon. If the work has been completed he is given immediate permission to go home and will come back again the next day. The work he had was quite light because Daniel only lived alone and the penthouse was not too messy. The matter of washing the monk Narsih did not directly work on it, he only needed to collect all the dirty cloths belonging to his master and all the clothes would be laundered according to Daniel's orders. The point is his job is just cleaning and tidying up the penthouse.
"Bik introduce this Keyra my wife" Daniel said, surprising the middle-aged woman before him. Not only was Bik Narsih surprised, Keyra was also quite surprised by Daniel's words.
"Narsih Non, just call narsih like Young Master Daniel" said the monk Narsih slightly lowered his head to introduce himself.
"Keyra bik" retorted Keyra after controlling her. Daniel's wife stretched out her hand to meet Narsih.
Bik Narsih was fixated, not expecting the woman introduced as the wife of her master to shake hands with her. It seemed that his master's wife was not the proud woman he was.
"Yes Non" replied bik Narsih awkwardly welcoming Keyra's hand.
"Bik can please get us a drink" Daniel asked politely.
"Yes sir, for a moment" bik Narsih immediately passed from the presence of Daniel and Keyra.
"Let's sit down Key" Daniel said, letting Keyra sit down. Now the two were in the living room of the luxurious penthouse.
"So what do you want to talk about?" ask Keyra straight to the point. It was seen that the woman refused to linger there.
Daniel was momentarily silent, thinking he had to sort out which words to say to his wife so that Keyra would not get angry. He had been quite ready to discuss their problems but when just alone with Keyra Daniel began to be confused what to say. The man was even now confused because he had been carelessly moving Keyra's belongings to his penthouse even though it was still part of it. Now how did he say that presumptuous attitude to Keyra.
"So Key, um" ah shit why is he so nervous.
"Now we're married and I'm sorry I moved your stuff here without notice. Sorry for being so presumptuous, but I'm pi..."
"WHAT!" keyra said involuntarily shouting after digesting Daniel's sentence. The reaction was quite slow as Keyra had not really listened to Daniel's earlier remark. His body can not be invited to compromise, Keyra's mind had floated on his favorite mattress. He wanted to lay his body there and it would feel very comfortable.
"So, didn't you say you moved Keyra's stuff here?" ask Keyra to clarify.
"Yes, sorry" Daniel replied. The second young master of the Wijaya Group spoke with his head lowered. Just this time he was not confident dealing with others.
"Serious brother, how could it be?"
Ah Keyra momentarily forgot who the man before her was. He shouldn't have asked such a stupid question. What can Daniel not do?.
"Before I had my men move it while we were still on our way. I know this marriage was very sudden but now I'm your husband and I have responsibilities. Please do not refuse to stay here. You can do whatever you want, I will not forbid it while within reasonable limits. You can still work and live your day as usual. Don't be burdened by this marriage. We can live it by following the destiny that God has set. I just want to carry out my responsibilities, please don't turn them down" Daniel said, pleading with Keyra for her understanding of their marriage.
Keyra fell silent, how could the man before her be so gentle with her. Keyra is not who he is before Daniel recites the agreement because of the urgency of the situation. This was even their first meeting after so many years and Daniel now still remains the same as the old Daniel. Maybe only the physical changes.
If it continues like this Keyra cannot guarantee his heart. Maybe all this time he could control his feelings because he and Daniel did not interact with each other. But what about the current situation. They would meet every day and even live under the same roof. What if his heart that had fallen on the charms of a Daniel fell even deeper.
"I'm..."
