Married the Earth Loved by the Sky
Partner : Chapter 23

Sunday night

Rea was already dressed up neatly, she slightly made the bottom of her hair wavy, using a maroon-red knee-length dress, she made a slight appearance, all day her mother kept sending her pesen so she wouldn't forget her promise to go out to dinner together, but Rea wondered why her mother told her to dress as elegantly as possible, I wonder who they will meet later.

Again her mother called for the umpteenth time today.

"Mama is downstairs"

Rea then exited her apartment.

Seeing a luxury SUV in front, Lidia opened the window and her daughter walked closer to the car.

"Mom bought a new car?"

"No, this is Jordan's car, he asked his driver to pick up his mom"

Rea glanced at the rearview mirror of the driver, the driver was seen smiling friendly then lowered his head, Rea replied to the driver's greeting with the same movement.

"Of Jordan? who?" rea was confused

"You'll also know when you get there"

Rea was only speechless to hear his mother's explanation, during the trip they engaged in conversations about preparing for Rea and Arkan's proposal.

"Oh, did you hear that Arkan bought you a house?"

"Yes, yesterday I just bought some furniture for the house"

"Tell me what you're lacking, and I'll buy it"

"Ga ma'am, Mas Arkan the same as me later who buy our own money"

"Mas...?" Lydia felt a little strange and was surprised to hear her son calling his future daughter-in-law mas for the first time in front of her.

"Yes ma, "Mas" Rea would also have to respect Rea's future husband if he mentioned his name in front of others"

Lidia smiled, there was a sense of calm in his heart, all this time he was still doubtful whether the child alone was really able to be released to undergo the household hick, now he was a little relieved, now he was a little relieved, moreover, knowing that her son's future husband loves Rea very much, at least the girl will not be as passive as she seems, wasting her life on a man who does not love her at all.

After nearly fifteen minutes the car stopped at a fancy restaurant, they went down and entered the restaurant, a waiter invited them, delivering them to a room that had been booked privately by Jordan.

Rea was surprised to see a man he knew sitting with the middle-aged man, who was definitely the middle-aged man was Jordan.

Seeing Rea and Lydia enter, the two men stood up, Lydia approached Jordan, her lover.

"Deliver this to my son Rea"

The man reached out his hand, then Rea accepted the man's helping hand with a smile

"Lidia, Rea this is my son Axel"

Lidia and Rea then took turns to greet Axel, the man grasped Rea's hand a little longer, making Rea clumsy to tug at her hand, and, while looking at Axel's face beckoned with a mimic of his face so that men immediately release their hands.

Axel pulled the chair for Rea to sit down, Lydia and Jordan who were looking from earlier could only frown.

"Do you know each other?" ask Lydia

Axel who was about to sit looked towards Rea

"We happened to have met before" Axel replied

Lydia looked at her son who nodded in agreement with Axel's answer

The food was served by the waiter, they started eating while talking, then Jordan talked about inviting them to dinner.

"We're getting married" the man clasped Lydia's hand on the table

"Uhukkkkp... Uhukkkk"

Rea choked, took a glass of water, gulped it while holding and patted his chest, Axel looked casually stuffing the fork with the steak cut using his left hand, without looking towards Rea his right hand gave the napkin to the girl.

The girl received the napkin that Axel gave looking at the man questioningly, why could she not be surprised at all.

"The plan is for us to get married in two months" Jordan continued

Rea was surprised to look at her mother.

"Don't you know that in less than eight months I'm getting married, you intend to get married before me?" asked Rea who made Axel put down his spoon and fork, Axel stared at Rea with a questionable look.

"What's? married in 8 months?" whispered Axel in the heart

"You know Re, how your life has been, you want to be at least happy before you die" replied Lydia

Jordan tightened his hand to the woman.

Axel who was already able to control his feelings and thoughts came to speak.

"Why rush the effect you guys like a young couple whose women are already pregnant first" said Axel

Jordan and Lydia threw eyes at each other.

"what?" Rea widened her eyes.

********

At home Axel did not stop saying the word "wah" because he thought his father was truly amazingly crazy.

"Gee... Papa can impregnate Aunt Lydia, crazy"

"Even papa already has 3 grandchildren wow amazing, and papa will still have a baby"

"Gee....Papa is something"

"Well, isn't it papa's son who will be Axel's son"

While in the car Rea was angry with her mother, throughout the journey the girl did not stop scolding her mother, she did not care about the driver who could clearly hear their conversation.

"Mama's outrageous, isn't there any safety, you know that getting pregnant at your age is risky, mama really drives me crazy, even I just don't dare to do that with Arkan's mas before we get married."

Being too upset, Rea hit her mother's thigh with a bag in her hand, Lidia's hand was seen holding her stomach.

"Be careful there's your sister-to-be here" said Lidia, who made her daughter's eyes bulge, then shifted to sit away, feeling a little guilty to her mother, but her face looked really upset.

*****

Rea asks Arkan to come to his apartment, the man opens the door to go inside, astonished to see the lights in the living room and in the dining room not turn on, faintly he saw Rea who was sitting on a sofa bending his legs buried his face in front of the flaming television.

Arkan pressed the light switch, Rea turned his head, his eyes were puffy, Arkan was shocked and walked over.

"Darling, what's wrong with you?"

Rea hugged her future husband who was standing in front of her, crying, making Arkan even more confused.

"Yes cry first" Arkan gently brushed the girl's hair.

After calming down, Rea told me about the dinner meeting she had attended last night, and the announcement of what she had heard. Arkan laughed out loud at Rea's story.

"Not even laughing"

"I have to cry like you"

"Baby donk, I'm going to have a sister at my age who deserves to be my son" Rea said

"Lha, how do you keep going? all that's happened, and the baby in Aunt Lydia has a right to live too, right?"

"I didn't think until there, anyway I just sprained, I just didn't dare to do it before marriage, the time of mama kayak that"

"It's a sin, it can't be, a kiss before marriage is a sin" Arkan said while tidying his hair that looks messy.

"Eat him I was sprained, old exemplify the good thing the same young cake" Rea still grumbled

Arkan clasped Rea's hand "honey with me"

Rea is moving towards Arkan

"You know for yourself during your marriage to your father Aunt Lydia never feel happy, maybe this is the destiny that God loves to your mama, the beginning of the happiness of Aunt Lydia, yes, although actually getting pregnant outside marriage is a sin, but you can not try to slightly accept the condition of your mother"

"You may never know, deep down, that she wants to be happy, to have people who can protect her, to have a loving family" Arkan said

Rea fell silent, digesting her future husband's sentence.

"I'm ashamed" he answered

"Why embarrassed? the one who got pregnant out of wedlock wasn't you"

"But..."

"But what?"

"Yes, when my mom got married before us" Rea almost cried again

Arkan laughed again and hugged the girl again.

"You're so sorry because Aunt Lydia wants to get married first?"

Rea nodded "be careful if he dares to steal our concept of marriage"

Arkan again smiled "don't be sad anymore, don't worry, everything will be fine"

Rea had calmed down, sleeping on Arkan's lap on a couch busy watching the ball game where his favorite club was competing.

"Darling, we'll never fight to watch television or drama tomorrow if we're married?" ask Rea

"No, you're buying two TVs for our house"

"Oh Yes" Rea felt silly with her own question but therefore she later recalled buying Arkan something.

"Darling, did you accept the position of general manager?" ask Rea

"So, tomorrow I've moved positions"

Rea woke up to glance at the clock, it was almost 2 am "then why is still here and watch the ball, if tomorrow is too late how?, you are not like I am free because now become unemployed"

"I've brought clothes to the office tomorrow morning, there's a car"

Rea was a little relieved that he did not want Arkan to be late to the office because of him, the girl then moved into the room, leaving Arkan who was still focused on watching the ball. He came out carrying a small paperbag putting it into Arkan's lap.

"Little gift for your promotion"

"Can I open?" Arkan held the paperbag that Rea had given him

"Hem. open it!"

Arkan took the box out of the paper bag, opened it and saw that it contained a watch, and the man tried to wear it.

"Why does it fit like this?" ask her curiously

"I'm who are you?" Rea leaned his chin on Arkan's shoulder "I asked the store to cut a few straps straight away, I've memorized the size of your hand"

Arkan smiles happily, then kisses Rea's cheek.

"Thank you" she then switched to kissing the lip of the girl who gave her the gift.

Arkan took off his lips and whispered "I love you"

Rea touched her lover's forehead with her forehead until their noses stuck to each other, then made a sweet arch on her lips, smiling.
