The Bride of the Curse Repellent
Little Appreciated

The festive party that made Sherina feel humiliated was finally over as well. Currently he was still a stranger to the Bashara family's main residence. That's why Vicky told the butler to take Sherina to her room.

"Please, this is Mrs Sherina's room" said Uncle Will, the butler.

"Thank you, Uncle Will," Sherina replied in an awkward tone, only this time she was called a mistress by someone so respectfully.

"If Mrs Sherina needs anything, please call me at any time. Excuse me" said Uncle Will.

As for Sherina, she still seemed hesitant to open the room. As soon as he entered the room, he was very surprised by the state of his room. Red rose bouquets filled the room, petals scattered on the mattress, and small candles that emit a soft light increasingly add to the atmosphere of excitement. This room has been prepared in such a way as to add to the impression of the first night.

"God ..." murmured Sherina who was not finished with this. "Why bother preparing this? It's ridiculous that Vicky and I married not out of love. It's like mocking me."

Suddenly Sherina is stunned, she realizes something and is reminded of a rumor of a curse that will make her die shortly after marriage.

"Damn, I just realized that this romantic room could be dangerous!" Sherina quickly extinguished the fire from the small candles that adorned the room. He thought, it could be this small fire will cause a fire so that his life is threatened.

"Well, I'm not as stupid as people think! Anyway, I need to be vigilant and prioritize my safety! I'll prove that the curse doesn't exist!"

Sherina was still not satisfied, she went around and checked every corner. Anticipate if there are small things that have a chance to endanger his safety.

"It seems safe" said Sherina, who sat on the edge of the bed. He stared at the wall clock, which showed the time at 11 p.m.

It was a tiring day for him. Since morning he had no time to rest. Performing the blessing ceremony and after that celebration party, Sherina's energy was completely drained. It felt like a break, but Sherina suddenly thought of something when she saw the petals of flowers scattered on the bed.

"Tonight is my first wedding night, but ... Vicky couldn't have come here, right? I was just a substitute anyway. She must be still with Cleo now and accompanying her."

"Hahh .. Never mind, I better get changed and get some rest! I have to save energy, because I don't know what else I'm gonna have to deal with tomorrow!"

Sherina got up, she removed the accessories and jewelry from her body. However, just as she was about to remove the dress, she encountered a small problem. He had trouble lowering the zipper that was on his back.

"Ck, it's so hard .. it looks like it's stuck! I can't possibly sleep in uncomfortable clothes like this. I have to ask for help!"

Sherina opened the door again. Not long after, he saw a male servant walking through the hallway.

"Wait a minute!" Sherina intercepts the waiter.

"Yes, Madam? Can I help you?" ask the waiter.

"I need something, can you get a maid here? Anybody whatever, just girls!" pinta Sherina's.

"Okay, ma'am, I'm sorry."

Sherina went straight into her room again. She sat in front of the dressing table, intending to remove the makeup that beautified her face. Various beauty products lined up on the dresser, this is not because Sherina is a wasteful woman. But, since the first Sherina did pay more attention to the care of her face.

Not without reason, he is a son of the owner of the company Dream Glow Cosmetics, of course Sherina has a real interest in this field. She painstakingly cleaned the make up on her face. And when Sherina was cleaning the eye makeup with cotton, suddenly the sound of the door opening.

"Come here, I've been waiting for you. Help me to remove this stuck zipper!" pinta Sherina without seeing who just opened the door. He thought it was the female servant he had been waiting for. Still busy to close the eyes and clean the rest of the eyeshadow that is attached.

"...." - ".Vicky who had just entered the room could only mute. He slightly misunderstood the intentions of his new wife who had been waiting for him just to help untie the stuck zipper. In the end Vicky approaches, thinking if there's no harm in him helping Sherina.

SREETTA ...

The zipper that had been jammed was immediately lowered by Vicky without any distress. Vicky's face immediately blushed as Sherina's thin, white and smooth back appeared.

"Thank you so much for helping, now you can go."

"You kicked me out?" ask Vicky in a cold tone.

"Eh?!" Sherina flinched, this voice was no stranger to her. He instantly removed the cotton from his eyes and opened his eyes clearly.

"V-Vicky?!" Both of Sherina's eyes were rounded when she saw Vicky's reflection reflected on the vanity mirror.

"Of course it's me, who do you think you are?" ask Vicky again.

"Sorry, I thought you were the maid I asked to come here to help me. I really didn't know it was you" Sherina said with her head bowed. Feeling embarrassed because Vicky has helped for problems like this.

"Anu .. I don't think you'll see me. What do you need to come here?" asked Sherina who was still embarrassed.

"It's nothing, I just want to see how you're doing. At once ... want to apologize," said Vicky shyly.

"I'm sorry for what?" ask Sherina curiously.

"This is what happened at the party. Forgive me for being instigated by your stepbrother's talk. I'm sorry I told you to apologize to the wrong person."

"Oh, it turns out about that ...." Sherina smiled faintly, then again said, "It doesn't matter, after all it's just a little dirty trick played by Sofia. I won't blame you for misunderstanding me. And maybe, you should learn from your sweet sister."

"Ah, about that .. I also want to apologize. I completely forgot to tell Velix to you. And I saw him, too, and it looks like Velix likes you. Though usually he is not easily familiar with just anyone."

"So yeah .." Sherina answered briefly. He smiled back and said, "Ehmm .. Can you see my back more closely?"

"E-eh, what?! Why did you tell me to do that? Look yes, even though I am now your husband. I'm not gonna fuck you! You should remember our agreement at the restaurant back then!" vicky said with emphasis. He misunderstands and assumes that Sherina is trying to tease him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that at all. I just want you to check if there's any sliding bones or not. But if you mind it's okay" said Sherina, who was fixing her clothes.

"Wait a minute!" Prevent Vicky while holding Sherina's hand. "Shearbone? Whatchu mean? What did you do before?!"

Sherina realized something, she then grinned cynically. "Heh, apparently my family didn't tell you this."

"Your family? Did they do violence or beat you seriously?" ask Vicky again.

"No, but I was hit by a truck before. I was declared dead by the doctor, and I came back to life. It turns out this wasn't told by them to you."

"Living back?! You're not kidding, are you?!" ask Vicky as if he couldn't believe it.

"Geez, what am I kidding for? Anyway it's not something funny to joke about."

Vicky, who was in shock, examined Sherina's back carefully. He noticed if there was anything wrong with that back. And as a result, Vicky found nothing unusual, not a single spine or shoulder bone that shifted. Everything seems normal. "There's nothing strange, your back is as normal as anyone else. When did you get hit by a truck?"

"Not too long ago, about 3 weeks ago. I felt weird myself, obviously I felt all over myself, but after I woke up in the morgue, I felt fine."

"What-what?!" Vicky is shocked, even unconsciously he also stepped back and away from Sherina.

Sherina looked back, she understood why Vicky had stayed away from her. "Haha, take it easy .. You're not marrying a ghost. I'm still me, I'm a normal human being, Vicky."

"You're not playing games with me, are you?" ask Vicky again who wants to be sure. He also saw Sherina from top to bottom, he really did not see any irregularities in Sherina's body.

"Why ask that? Are you afraid of me?"

"...." - ".Vicky mute.

Sherina doesn't seem to be messing around. But this cannot be explained logically. If the doctor had already declared him dead from being hit by a truck, it would be too awkward for him to be able to come back to life without any injuries. This is really absurd, is it not-don't .. The curse has a point as well?

No, I mustn't hesitate like this. I'm also fed up with my family believing in curses. I'll prove that these absurd things aren't real. And I'll prove that Sherina is just a normal human being.

Suddenly Vicky stepped closer, then gently touched Sherina's head. This touch made her certain that Sherina was indeed an ordinary human being.

"What's wrong? Why is this suddenly on me?" asked Sherina confused.

"Ah, it's nothing!" vicky said as he pulled his hand back. "You .. rest, you must be tired. I'll sleep somewhere else." Vicky immediately walked out of the room quickly without saying another word.

"Huff ...." Sherina sighed, then touched her own head right on the part Vicky touched earlier.

I don't know what Vicky was thinking. I did deliberately tell this all because I wanted to know how he would look at me later. Whether he'll think of me as a pesky carrier like my family, or he'll act like a fool.

But ... somehow I felt a little relieved when Vicky said he was going to sleep somewhere else. He didn't say he was going to accompany Cleo. He also apologized for his attitude. This way at least ... for now I feel a little appreciated.

By the way ... That's why Vicky touched my head, huh? What if he was influenced by a horror film, then he considers me a kuntilanak ghost who was stabbed in the head using a nail to become a human. Haha, it's funny if Vicky does think so. Looks like Vicky's an interesting guy.
