Underage Marriages
Part 8's

The courtyard of Rara's house is now filled with all sorts of top quality flower decorations. Not too many invitations came to attend the engagement between Rara and Gabriel, only a few of them came from both sides of the family. They did not want to carry out a large-scale event because considering the two couples who will be engaged are both still sitting in High School.

Not without reason they make this match. His father Rara, who is often known by the name William, is suffering from severe pain in the hospital, his heart has indeed been very worrying until a few days William's heart almost stopped. William wanted to see the child married, he was afraid not to be given the opportunity to see his only child married. William is not too worried if the child will marry the son of the prospective successor of the famous company in Indonesia.

It is very close to Arsen. Because when they were young they had been friends for a while, and finally they were reunited with the hands of business cooperation. But the conditions are very different, he met Arsen in a state of young souls who were at the top, and now they meet in a weak state of himself.

Doctors also ruled out Willam's heart disease as a result of his negligence as a young man. William often smoked and the impact he felt now. If God allowed him to have a time machine already William made sure if he would go back in time and promised not to smoke.

Today William was present at the engagement ceremony of the child while accompanied by Selvi. He will not miss a moment he may only see once. Although only a small engagement event but for Willam is very valuable for him who is sickly. He got permission from the doctor who treated him in order to see the process of the child getting engaged which of course remains accompanied by one of the sisters.

"Pa. Papa wasn't papa present at Rara's engagement? Rara is afraid that there is nothing with Papa," said Rara while trying to save thousands of grief. He did not want any tears on his happy day, but it was circumstances that forced Rara to try to cry.

With a bitter smile William who was sitting in a wheelchair reassured Rara. He took Rara's hand and rubbed it gently.

"Princess Papa is now big. Papa wants to see you engaged, son. Papa doesn't want to go through this moment. Enough to smile Papa is happy, Papa knows you are worried about Papa. But do you have the heart to let Papa not be present when Papa's little daughter who used to always not want to be separated from Papa's sling wants to get engaged. Dear Papa's son Rara, Papa wants to always be in your every development including your happy day. I don't know if today deserves to be called your happy day, Papa knows you're forced to do this solely for Papa. But can Papa selfishly ask you to keep smiling today?"

Without asking for anything, Rara would smile all day. Rara is so happy today. Events that will happen in a lifetime. Well Rara promised to marry only once in a lifetime.

Rara was unable to hold back the water that kept urging her to fall out of place. Hearing the words of the Papa really reached once in Rara's heart. His heart ached to see the Papa on his engagement day in a dire situation. He let the tears escape to flood the surface of the flawless face, Rara smiled at William's request. He rests in front of the Papa does not care about his clothes of danger that will be dirty. He clasped his father's hands while showing a happy face.

"Pa was not at all for Rara to be forced to accept this matchmaking. Rara is happy Pa, because Papa betrothed Rara to the one Rara loves. As far as Papa knows, the boy that Rara often tells about ever wanting to marry Rara is Gabriel. Rara has met him Pa," said Rara while aligning her height with the father and kissed her forehead full of love child against his father. "Now Papa must keep Rara's request. Rara wants Papa to always be beside Rara until Papa can see Papa's adorable grandchildren. Don't you want to see and play with Papa's grandson?"

William was overwhelmed to hear it. Indeed, Rara's statement made William suddenly floated his mind to the future that heeded. A second later William's face returned sad. He could not have lived that long, and the doctor condemned William to exist soon in this world. But Willam tried to keep that fact from Rara, he did not want Rara sad if he found out.

"If Papa is given a chance, Papa will promise."

Rara excitedly raised her little finger and hooked the finger to Willam's pinky. He made this symbol a covenant that replaced the signature.

"Rara dear Papa."

Rara hugs William tightly but still tolerates Willam's state of severe pain.

"Papa too dear Rara. I'm sorry Papa made you lose your youth. Being a young wife is not easy, Papa knows that."

"No Pa, don't apologize. Rara's doing it."

Rara reduces their embrace because she is afraid that her father will be out of breath because of Rara. Although the make-up that Rara wore was slightly washed away by tears, but Rara had no problem with it. Want to wear make-up or not Rara still PD appear in public. Rara wiped her tears and smiled readily.

"Son't like they've come."

Rara turned around and looked at the courtyard. Sure enough, Gabriel's family's entourage has arrived. Suddenly Rara's heart beat like an irregular rhythm. She squeezed her chest full of happiness, millions of butterflies flying in Rara's heart. Today he will officially become the fiancee of Gabriel Wijaya Altas the man he always cheated on. There is no more cynical insinuation from his friend who always says he is just a imaginary woman and in his head is only filled with genuineness that makes the laughter of people thunder.

"Our arrival here intends to propose to Princess Mr. William named Rara Andira to be made a wife by our son Gabriel Wijaya Altas. What about William?" Arsen said a little nervously. Honestly this is for the first time he proposed to a woman but to someone else.

Willam who was sitting in a wheelchair was definitely very accepting of this engagement. Without even being asked he had definitely said 'Yes'. William did not answer but instead rolled his eyes at the child.

"All decisions are in my son's hands."

Gabriel lifted his head, and from that moment he lowered his head. Inevitably you Gabriel must accept this fact even with people he does not love. Gabriel looked expectantly at Rara for the woman to say no. But it seemed like it was just wishful thinking, Gabriel could see the loving radiance in Rara's eyes.

To be honest until this moment Gabriel has not liked Rara even a grain of dust. The feeling is still the same as before to Rara, cold and amused.

Gabriel let out a deep breath and returned bowed as an unexpected answer sounded.

"Yes Rara accepted it."

Everyone was giving thanks, but in contrast to Gabriel just putting on a flat face. His mouth was silenced like a living statue that had a mouth but was not functioning.

"Then it's time for the ring installation event. Both candidates please come forward to pin the ring on each other's fingers." When the voice of Alsya was heard as the host also made Gabriel inevitably come forward and sit in the middle of the crowd circle.

Rara who saw Gabriel remain cold to him did not understand. Lately, their relationship has experienced closeness. Much different than the beginning. But Rara sighed, maybe the apology yesterday really didn't change Gabriel being kinder to her.

Rara looked towards the diamond ring studded with pearls. The ring will soon be in his hands. Then Rara looked at the other ring made of white silver. The ring will be pinned on Gabriel's finger.

Gabriel took out a ring from his heart-shaped spot. Then put the ring on Rara's ring finger. Just like Rara, she did the opposite.

"Alhamdulillah you are now officially engaged," said Alsya a bit of excitement. He was happy when he was able to become an MC on the day of his nephew's engagement. "When will I be held?"

Arsen replied, "Two weeks away."

Gabriel widened his eyes, he was surprised to hear that fast. Hurry the guy spoke up. "What's? Two more weeks?

"Then another week."

Gabriel's eyes widened. "But... Pa?"

"five more days."

"Then three more days. Everybody agrees?" Arsen asked everyone to make Gabriel unable to dwell anymore.

"Agreed."

Those who were there gave thanks. Then Ahmad led the prayer on this happy day.

Rara's head frowned like she was looking for someone. After the engagement, he didn't see Gabriel at all. Even though out there is being held a thanksgiving that is not too big.

Rara walked through the room in her house. The next time Gabriel was walking around in Rara's house which was no less big than the man's own house, Gabriel forgot his way home and got lost in one of the hallways of his house.

"Gabriel where are you?" Rara said to herself.

He returned to his journey. He watched every room he went through. But none of the rooms in his house showed any sign of Gabriel.

Not giving up. Rara also walked towards a room that was very rarely visited, a private library. Who knows the nature of Gabriel who can not be far from the book makes the man languish in the library and try to remove the tracks from the crowd.

Czech

Rara opened the door slowly, she almost never came to this cursed place for Rara. Right with Rara thinking, Gabriel was indeed inside the library was busy reading books without caring about the outside world.

Rara commented on the smile of seeing Gabriel who never left the book. For a moment he looked at her appearance before Rara finally sauntered over to Gabriel confidently.

"Gabriel, how are you here? Rara has been looking for you everywhere."

Gabriel, who had just noticed Rara's presence, snorted and sighed for a while. Next he focused again to read books looking for science so that his brain can brilliantly beat scientists from abroad. Gabriel's goal is to make Indonesia fragrant, and prove that Indonesian children cannot be underestimated like lambs.

Rara pouted to find that her words were not harrumphed by Gabriel. The man thought he wasn't here, it really offended Rara. Without the permission of Gabriel Rara, he sat down beside the man. He looked at the writing Gabriel was reading. He breathed heavily in the book entitled KIMIA. Oh come on Rara until now still do not understand the chemistry lesson. The numbers and formulas listed there make Rara nauseous.

"Gabriel don't want to enjoy a party out there?"

"No."

"Why?" Tanya Rara was full of astonishment. Isn't having fun out there while enjoying a meal a pleasure? And Rara wondered that, why Gabriel could even cool to read a book.

"Bored" he answered briefly.

Rara sighed for a moment with Gabriel's short speech. He looked back at Gabriel's face up close. Really that face is very handsome if seen this close, especially with him who is barely far away anymore.

"Gabriel yesterday Rara saw on the Internet that there was a registration for a prospective grill band."

Suddenly Gabriel stopped reading to listen to Rara's story. It's not good for Gabriel if Rara signs up and escapes as one of the band's grills, she knows that she loves to sing and dance as well as being great in martial arts.

"Keep not on the list."

Rara shook her head weakly, "No. Rara wants to be your grilfriend not gril band. If Rara goes along, don't marry dong with Gabriel.

"It's good that you don't marry me."

"Why? Didn't Gabriel apologize to Rara yesterday? That means Gabriel can't be taken by Rara anymore." He was a little stunned to hear the direct confession from Gabriel.

"Gue apologizing for yesterday's incident doesn't mean making me want to accept you. Until whenever you know I'll never love you."

"Oh."

Rara surrendered. He only realized about the fact that Gabriel was not an easy guy to get. Rara is secretly envious of the person who can steal Gabriel's heart. He knows Gabriel is actually in love with someone, but that figure is unknown to Rara.

Accompanying Gabriel to read a book was certainly a boring activity. Slowly his eyes closed and then fell asleep. Gabriel was stunned when he realized that Rara's head had fallen onto his shoulders. He glanced to the side making his cheeks stick with Rara's hair.

He sighed and kept Rara's head off his shoulders. Until Rara was reawakened and softened.

"Sorry."

They also return to their own activities. Gabriel read books and searched for formulas that no one in the world had ever used. In the middle of his focus on reading a book he suddenly felt his shoulder felt in the face of something.

Again Gabriel held back his curse. He raises Rara's head and intends to lay her down on the sofa until Gabriel looks like he is about to kiss Rara.

"ASAGHPPEN!!! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE. YOU GUYS ARE NOT HALAL!!!"
