The Life Journey of NAURA
1. Marriage in Written
Naura was sitting in front of the dressing table, staring at herself in the reflection of the mirror that was in front of her.
Hair that was still messy with clothes that looked shabby, she was waiting for the bridal makeup artist who would decorate it.
The girl turned slightly towards the door when she heard the sound of the door opening, then saw Merlin, her birth mother came in and approached her.
"Naura, why are you still not ready? The Ardinata family is coming soon. Let's help you change your clothes! Soon the makeup artist also came," said Merlin while holding Naura's shoulder.
Naura grabbed her mother's hand and looked at her. "Mom, do you really want me to replace my sister with a man who has been betrothed to my sister?"
Merlin was fixated for a moment and his face turned agitated a little in panic. She thought that Naura would change her mind and refuse to replace her brother for marriage.
If you know the daughter of the Affandi family rejects this marriage, not only gets embarrassed, but the Ardinata family will really destroy the Affandi family.
Merlin held onto both of Naura's hands, then knelt before her. "Naura, mother begs you .. You help your sister huh! Your brother deserves a better man. If this marriage is annulled, then the Ardinata family will destroy our family."
Instantly Naura's reddened eyes held back her tears from coming out and her gaze turned cold.
During this time, the biological mother always gave full affection and attention to the two stepchildren of her father's previous wife.
Although Merlin knew that the man who was betrothed to his brother was an ugly and impotent man, but Merlin still begged Naura to want to replace the older brother married to the man.
There was a knock on the door, and then a waiter came in. "Madam, Miss Naura ... her makeup artist came," the maid told her, then let the makeup artist inside.
Naura got up to her feet while holding Merlin's hand and pulled him to stand up. "Wake, Mom. I'll get ready and go" Naura said coldly.
Merlin smiled again and rubbed the side of Naura's face, then nodded. "Mom will come down."
Naura was resigned and she immediately prepared to go downstairs. The girl refused to dress herself, only changing her clothes and combing her long hair.
Naura came out of the room and went downstairs. He had already seen many bodyguards from the Ardinata family to pick him up.
Wedding in writing, no party. The groom was also nowhere to be seen, not even his family had ushered in his departure.
Naura simply walked alone with a group of bodyguards behind her.
The girl stopped her steps, then let out a long sigh. His life will completely change from now on.
"Let's go" the girl said after sighing, then walked out and got into the car that had picked her up.
The Ardinata family is known as the richest family in the city of B. The only direct successor of the Ardinata family is Aaron Daffa Ardinata, a man who is rumored to be ugly and impotent.
Reportedly, Aaron as a child was kidnapped by a group of thugs while waiting for his mother to come to pick him up. Aaron tries to escape, but is caught again and the thugs injure him to make him impotent.
Since then, Aaron has never again appeared in front of people.
Rumors have been circulating all along that Aaron is ugly, impotent and very cruel, even whenever the Ardinata family sends a woman to him, the woman will not come out safely.
The disappointment, sadness and despair Naura felt made her feel no longer concerned about the rumors. Even if Aaron is a demon.
Arriving at a large white house with three floors, the bodyguards escorted Naura in and to her room on the second floor, then immediately left the girl alone.
He sat on the edge of the bed and pondered until the sky that was visible from the bedroom window grew darker.
Someone opened the door of his room and Naura turned her head. He saw a tall man enter the room, then closed the door again and turned on the light.
Instantly Naura raised her hand to cover her face as a bright light illuminated the entire room.
Slowly, Naura lowered her hands and raised her face to look at the man who entered the room.
He stood up and was fixated on staring at the wide, tall, strapping man who was stepping towards him.
There was a sense of surprise when Naura saw the man. Not because his face was so ugly, but instead the face of the man was handsome. Very handsome, even very handsome.
The dark-colored suit that the man wore, made him look even more charming. His posture and face shape are so perfect, handsome and unusual looking.
The man stepped up and quickly stood before Naura who was still glued to look at him.
Aaron also looked at Naura for a few seconds, then frowned. "Your face is ugly" he said flatly.
Naura slightly blinked her eyes, she did not care at all about Aaron saying that he was very ugly.
"Who are you?" asked Naura stuttering and alertly.
Aaron stared intently at the girl, "Don't you know who you're married to?" he asked while approaching Naura.
The fragrance from Aaron's body mixed with mint from his nap, making Naura's body tremble slightly.
Although feeling a little afraid, but Naura still stood firmly staring at the man. "Of course I know. I'm married to Aaron Daffa Ardinata!" answer Naura firmly.
Hearing Naura's reply, Aaron looked at her even more sharply. Again there are women who still believe the rumors that he is ugly and impotent.
Seeing Naura's expression that looked nervous and trembling, made Aaron become interested. She smiled and looked at Naura.
"Then it's nice to meet you, cousin-in-law. I'm Samuel, Aaron's younger cousin," said Aaron introducing himself to Naura as 'Samuel', his cousin's sister.
"I don't think my cousin-in-law wants to spend a bridal night with a lame and useless brother like my cousin's sister, does she?" continued Aaron while slightly bowing and bringing his face closer to Naura.
Aaron accidentally pressed the words 'father' and not 'useful' to look at Naura's expression while wanting to tease her.
Naura stepped to the side avoiding the gaze of 'Samuel' who was so close because she felt uncomfortable.
Inwardly, Naura believed the man's words saying that his cousin's brother was lame and useless, but to be sure, Aaron's house was not easily visited by just anyone.
"You please don't talk like that. After all, she is still your cousin's sister" Naura said sincerely in defense of her husband Aaron.
Even his cousin's sister told him that. Naura feels that Aaron's life is not very good and so sad. There was also a sense of pity towards Aaron.
The Ardinata family is famous for being very rich and distinguished since long ago. If you look at Aaron's situation, Naura can feel that Aaron's life has suffered greatly.
