All applauded in response to Elvaro's sacred promise. Now it was Elena's turn to read her sacred promise. He also stands
Jasmine handed him a pink-colored paper containing the sacred promise of Elena's writing. Though before the paper was lost and Jasmine had panicked to look for it but it was fortunate that Elvaro had found it and handed it to Jasmine just before the dinner banquet began
If Elena knew the paper had disappeared, of course Jasmine's fate was not safe anymore. 'Elena is so creepy when she's angry' Jasmine's inner being
Elena stood up and greeted the paper that her best friend Jasmine had handed her. Shaking hands opened the paper and read it
"I'm Elena, choosing you Elvaro De Vegas as husband in a happy or difficult state also in good health or sick. Promise you, I will obey and obey your every word?" Elena raised both eyebrows in disbelief
"I- devoted my whole life to you Elvaro"
Glekk, Elena swallowed her own saliva. The sacred promise he had written had changed. Elena stared at the horror at Elvaro
While Elvaro tried to hold back his laughter but could still be seen from the expression on his face
"Go on, let's go on. Read through" Elvaro's orders half whispered. The man desperately held his laughter
Elena opened her eyes to look at Jasmine, but Jasmine simply shrugged her shoulders a sign Jasmine did not understand
"And I will make Elvaro my husband and the only man of my life" Elena said. His face turned soft and his hands were still trembling
This promise is his promise in front of many who testify. God heard and saw it. So Elena felt she had to actually do it even though it was very heavy
The applause re-echoed after the recitation of Elena's sacred promise and the host took over to continue the show
Elena sat herself in the chair next to Elvaro with her own face
"I'm going to keep my promise Elena because I'm a responsible man with what I say" Elvaro said haughtily. "And you also have to do it" he continued with great emphasis
"How can you change the contents of Elvaro? Do you want to be bound to me forever?" asked Elena with an uncharitable feeling
"Elena you have long been attached to me, and will forever be" Elvaro replied with a smirk
"I told you, Miss Elena El Bacas, you can't play games with me" Elvaro said firmly with a sharp look
Instantly, Elena's hair bristled and she swallowed her saliva forcefully. Elvaro's words scared him. How they can live together forever if they don't love each other
If there were no matchmaking, it might not be this way of life. But how else, this is also a will from his father before he died. And his job is to fulfill the father's last request
After the sacred vows, this is the time to congratulate the bride and groom
"Congratulations El, I didn't expect that you would marry before me" Jasmine hugged Elena
"Thank you Jas" Elena said with a smile
"Congratulations El, may you always be happy. Mother is very happy you are finally not alone anymore" said the mother of the home that almost shed tears haru
"Thank you Mother. Elena won't forget your services in raising Elena. Even though Elena was married Elena would still visit the home" Elena's eyes glazed over, a single blink of her tears would definitely fall
"I'm taking Elena" the mother told Elvaro
"You can trust me, I promise to make Elena happy" Elvaro said
The mother of the parlour and Elena embraced
Many guests congratulated Elena and Elvaro on their wedding
***
"Congratulations on your marriage Varo, mommy is so grateful that you will accept this matchmaking. Mommy hopes you'll always look after and love Elena forever" Caroline said
"Daddy is the same as your mommy, you have to be the man in charge" Reynard said
"Yes mom dad, Varo promises to always protect Elena" Elvaro said, staring at his parents
"Hi brother, introduce my name Alexa brother of brother Elvaro. We met this afternoon, but I'm still ashamed to greet you. Since you're already my sister, so just think of me as my sister" Alexa shook Elena's hand not forgetting the smile rising on her lips
Elena welcomed the hand and said, "Hi, my name is Elena. You can call me Brother El, hopefully we can get along in the future like a sister" Elena gave a charming smile
Elena is very happy because she was accepted by the De Vegas family, at first she thought she would get a rejection from them. But it was denied by the fact that the Elvaro family accepted him as he was
"Let's eat, you need a lot of energy tonight" whispered Elvaro right in Elena's ear. Elvaro's warm breath made Elena's body shake
"Te....power for what?" ask Elena plain. He scrunched his eyebrows when he asked
Elvaro scooped his face frustrated, he did not want to beg and pity Elena. Elvaro wants his own wife to surrender herself willingly. With annoyed Elvaro left the dining table even though the food on his plate was still a lot left. His taste just disappeared. Somehow close to his own wife makes Elvaro's heart not care
"Where are you going?" elena asked Elvaro who suddenly stood up
"I want to see my friends, and my colleagues" Elvaro replied in a sharp tone
Elena opened her eyes to Elvaro
"You why are you always acting so annoying to Elvaro? Just a few hours into your wife I've been made dizzy, how are we always going to be together forever?" lirih Elena with her head down trying to enjoy dinner
Elvaro approaches his close friend Juan who became his bestman today as well as his other friends
"Here comes our star today, the groom's coming!!" juan cheers welcome Elvaro who comes to their table
Elvaro smiled faintly at the reception, sitting himself in an empty chair next to Juan. Then he started chatting with his friends, accompanied by a few bottles of champagne
But not with Elvaro, he will not drink alcoholic beverages on his wedding day. After all Elvaro is the type of person who does not really like drinks that smell of alcohol
When everyone was busy with their drinks, Elvaro was busy stealing glances at his wife Elena
Yep.... His eyes could not escape his wife. Even Elvaro also smiled faintly when he saw Elena laughing freely with her friend Jasmine
Everyone enjoyed their conversation so much that his best friend Juan said something Elvaro didn't like
"Your wife is so pretty, if only she wasn't betrothed to you. I will ask her to be my wife" Juan said, looking at Elena from a distance
Suddenly it made Elvaro feel annoyed until he stared intently at Juan. "Who are you saying is so beautiful Juan? And why are you looking at my wife?" asked Elvaro in a dislike tone. His flat face looked cold and unfriendly plus Elvaro's sharp gaze that instantly made the atmosphere nearby become drastically dropped
Suddenly the crowd stopped at the table
