The Love Story of Five CEOs
Well-married

"Cie, Cie who will soon be a wife, congratulations, Lista!" kalila Goda.

Calista did not respond at all. The girl only smiled faintly in response to her best friend and cousin of Arick and Arend. That means Kalila will soon be her sister-in-law.

"Lis, what's wrong with you? you seem less happy. Is my guess right?" Kalila's eyebrows are sharply linked.

"I don't know if I want to be happy or not, Lil. You know who owns my heart. Until now can not be replaced Lil," said Calista with a sad face.

Kalila, exhale with a single blow. He wondered how Kalila still survived to love Arick, even though her cousin's sister was always cold and apathetic to him. Why can't Calista fall in love with Arend who clearly loves her and is always there for her.

"Lis, you can't. Now you forget your love for Arick's brother. Please open your heart to Brother Arend. Remember soon you'll be his wife."

"That's it, Lil. All this time I've been trying to forget Arick's brother and open my heart to Arend's brother, but hard, Lil. How else do I have to be?" calista's face looked frustrated.

"Then why did you accept this marriage? you'll be given a chance to refuse at that time." Kalila began to get upset with Calista's plin-plan attitude.

"I can't bear to refuse, Lil. Brother Arend has been too good for me all this time."

"That's exactly where your mistake lies! brother Arend will actually be more hurt if you know that you accept it just because you do not have the heart and pity. I'm confused by the way you think, annoyed I've been around for a long time, you know!" kalila said, while getting upset.

"Sorry, Lil!" Calista lowered her head while biting her lower lip.

The silence lingered for quite a while between the two girls. They dissolve in each other's daydreams.

Suddenly a knocking from the door, resuscitated the two of them, stopping the silent atmosphere that had been created between them.

"Don't be sad anymore! everyone will be suspicious. I open the door first!"

Kalila walked towards the door, to open the door. He saw Calvin standing at the door with a smile on his lips.

"How, Om?" whispered Kalila. Calvin gave an answer by raising his hand, brandishing his finger which formed the letter 'o' and Kalila nodded her head, and smiled sweetly back.

"Come Om! our bride is ready!" Kalila got out of the way, made way for Calvin.

"Hi, papa's most beautiful daughter. Are you ready, sweetie?"

Calista immediately put on a cheerful face, as soon as he saw the arrival of his father. He did not want his father to see the sadness on his face.

"Udah dong, Dad. Papah can see for himself, if Calista is already very beautiful, Calista replied as she twisted her body in front of the papa.

"Well, under no circumstances are you always beautiful, dear." Calista's smile grew wider, hearing his papa's praise.

"You sit down first! there's something you'd like to talk to me about for a second, "Calvin helped that only daughter sit back.

"What's up, Pah? it seems serious." Calista's forehead wrinkled, curious.

"Look, Honey. You are not married to Arend. ___"

"Why?" Calista interrupted his papa's words.

"You don't cut what you're talking about, son. Wait, you're done first, and then you can talk."

"Sorry, Pah. I was just curious, so it was not as polite as before.

The sentence that had just been thrown from the mouth of his papa Calvin, made Calista's eyes grow bigger and shake his head, not believing.

"No-no way, Dad! Papa's kidding, right?"

" Yes, Om! It's gotta be a joke, right?" Kalila chimed in on Calista's words.

"It's true, not a joke."

"So, is Calista not married, Pah? why can Arend Sis Setega that? Had I known it would be this way I'd rather refuse this marriage." rattled Calista with a clear liquid that escaped her eyes.

"The marriage will continue, but not with Arend but with Arick."

Calista. His throat was so tight that he had trouble swallowing his own saliva.

"Aren't Arick's brother refusing to marry me? if he wants to marry me because it's only a form of responsibility, I don't want to, Pah." said Calista.

Yes, she does love Arick, and she's happy to be the man's wife, because that's her dream all along. However, he does not want to be selfish with her to marry the man, just as he gave torture for Arick because he had to live in a house with someone he did not love at all.

"Calista, there's no other way. If this wedding is off, we'll all be ashamed. Our families and especially yourselves will be gossip."

"I don't mind that, Pah. The gossip is only temporary, it will gradually disappear on its own."

"Lista, it's not that simple. Our company and Bagaskara will also be affected. It wasn't papa who asked Arick to marry you, it was he who offered himself. He also said he would be a good and responsible husband. He will also learn to love you." explains Calvin at length.

"She said that, Pah?" Calista asked to make sure. Being honest, he still had little faith in what he had just heard. Calvin did not reply, the man simply smiled and nodded his head, assuring.

"Well, I want to marry him!" firmly Calista with a happy sparkling face.

"That's it, you want it!" chirp Kalila with pursed lips.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Calista walked with her arms twitching in Calvin's arms, toward the place where Arick had been waiting.

Arick lowered his head, not daring to stare directly at Calista. However, the tail of his eyes glanced towards the girl. And honestly, even with just a glance, he could still see clearly, if the woman who would soon be his wife, was very beautiful.

After Calista was already right next to Arick, the man's heartbeat actually beat faster. Honestly, he was very nervous because he married suddenly without any preparation. The one thing she prayed for in her heart, hopefully that wedding ring, could fit on her finger.

"It must have been the case, it was I who tried the ring. Gosh, it seems like it's been a long time since the fool's plan, "Arick growled in his heart, remembering himself and Arend buying the wedding ring. At that time Arend asked him to try. When he asked his sister to try too, Arend refused on the grounds that their finger size must be the same. And foolishly he believed and did not force his sister to try.

"Wait first! or maybe the name printed on the ring is also my name? I have to make sure of that later" Arick whispered to himself. Because at that time, when they were about to go home, Arend asked her to wait a little while in the car and go back inside the jewelry store, arguing that something was missing. And stupidly he just believed in his twin sister.

"Review you're Arend, if it's true inculcate all your plans."

The wedding ceremony went well, the two lovebirds are now legal to be husband and wife. Arick grabs Calista's hand to pin the wedding ring to the girl's ring finger. Before pinning the ring, Arick took the time to see whose name was imprinted on the circular object. Sure enough, it turned out that the name printed there was his name.

From the line of guests appear moustached men and wear thin smiling glasses with dewy eyes, seeing Arick and Calista who have been legally husband and wife.

"May you both be happy!" whispered to himself while pressing his mustache like a fear of being let go.
