Don't Want To Get Married
"Getting married? Is Mama crazy? Qiara has just turned 17 years old and has a lot of dreams. Should I marry a man who is twelve years older than me?". Tears rolled down Qiara's face because she did not expect that her mother would ask for something she never wanted.
"At least, you got married first. After that you can divorce and continue your dream!". Her mother answered.
Sarah didn't mind seeing Renata and Qiara whispering in front of her, because she knew the situation.
"Is there no other way Ma?". Renata shook her head and replied, "Nothing dear".
Qiara lowered her head and was silent for a moment, her heart was screaming to say no but her thoughts and affection for Vania pushed her to make a bold decision even if she had to.
"I want to get married on condition, this marriage only family knows and it must be held in town A. I don't want to live with Julian until I finish high school, and also I want to stay in college without anyone knowing I'm married, if Julian doesn't endure my attitude so he can divorce me. Qiara said loudly.
"This is just a secret marriage!". Said Julian with a cold expression because he was also forced to do this marriage. Marry a little girl is he crazy?.
Julian walked from behind Qiara, because he ran out from outside to take a call.
Hearing a voice that Qiara was quite familiar with, she immediately turned to look at the source of the sound, immediately Qiara was surprised to see Julian.
"You. are you a man in a bookstore?".
Little girl, are you named Qiara?". Asked Julian who was also surprised to see the woman you were going to marry.
" You already know each other?". Asked Sarah and Renata simultaneously.
"Only not accidentally met!". Julian replied as he sat down.
"Aunt, is he the son of aunt who will marry me?".Asked Qiara with a trembling mouth.
"Yes, he is your future husband. His name, Julian Alvero!". Sarah replied while looking at her son with a smile.
Hearing Sarah's answer, Qiara was very surprised, because ever since the incident at the bookstore, she hated Julian, the feeling just came because Julian reminded her of the man who slept with her that morning naked.
Qiara still didn't understand why she was suddenly in a hotel room naked with a strange man.
"I don't want to marry that man Ma, he's not a good person. Qiara whined to Renata with teary eyes.
"Qiara ... Watch your words, they can still hear". Renata said.
"It's okay Renata! Naturally Qiara said Julian was not good because she didn't know him yet. So, she just needs to know Julian more deeply so she knows Julian's true nature". Sarah said, smiling at Renata.
"That's right honey! You just need to know Julian". Renata assured Qiara.
Hearing Renata's words, Qiara just looked down while squeezing the will she was holding.
Meanwhile, Julian feels bored and annoyed when he finds out that the person he is marrying is a silly, arrogant, and rude girl he has met at a bookstore.
"It's late at night, we'll go home first. Next Saturday there will be a driver to pick you up. Regarding wedding preparations, I'll take care of it". Julian said while looking at Renata expressionlessly.
"That's right. Alright, we'll go home now. See you in town A!". Sarah said as she stood up and hugged Renata warmly.
"Be careful!". said Renata after releasing Sarah's hug.
"Yes".
After that, Sarah and Julian hurriedly left Qiara's house. Meanwhile, Qiara who had been sitting quietly, didn't want to take Sarah and Julian to the front door because she still didn't believe that this day would come.
"Mama, Qiara doesn't want to marry that old man. Qiara is young and wants to realize Qiara's dream of becoming a famous gamer who can not only play but be the best game creator in the world. Not only that, Qiara wants to become a painter. Everything will not be realized. if I get married. After all, I don't understand what marriage is ".
Qiara whined while holding Renata's arm who was busy washing glasses in the kitchen.
Heard Qiara. Renata immediately hugged her daughter with a worried expression that it would disturb her mentally. But, she had no choice.
"Honey, Mama also doesn't want to see you married. Mama still wants to see you finish college and enjoy your teenage years. But this is your sister's will, Mama can't afford to disappoint her. After all, a woman is not suitable to be a gamer. But, after marriage you can still be a painter with the help of your husband ". Renata said while stroking Qiara's hair.
"Anyway Qiara doesn't want to marry, especially with that cruel man. Does Qiara have to die like a big sister to be free from that will?". said Qiara while looking up at Renata with tears in her eyes.
