Should I get married to a man who is ten years different from me? God, is this the destiny of Qiara that you have outlined up there ?. Qiara muttered and was silent behind the car.
"Come on in!". Julian's voice broke her reverie. Qiara immediately frowned while looking at Julian from behind the car without ignoring Julian's invitation.
"Qiara hurry up, we have to reach town A before evening". Julian said in an elevated voice because he didn't get a response from Qiara.
With a heavy heart, Qiara nodded and got into the car obediently. Along the way, Qiara was silent as well as Julian, they were not interested in chatting.
~ City Center A ~
Moments later, their car arrived at Julian's house in town A. The house was large and had a large yard. There are several cars lined up in Bagazi.
"Is this your house?". Qiara asked after getting out of the car. Julian nodded, "Yes, come in first!".
Hearing Julian's order, Qiara immediately entered. Inside, Sarah was waiting for her.
"Dear Qiara, welcome to Julian's humble house! Sorry your father-in-law could not attend, as well as Julian's brother and sister who are also busy with their respective affairs abroad". Sarah greeted Qiara warmly.
Qiara immediately smiled as she muttered in her heart. 'Luxury houses like this are said to be simple, rich people are different.
"Qiara?". Renata, who had left Qiara for a day, felt homesick and immediately hugged her daughter.
"Mama!". Qiara returned the embrace of Renata spoiled because she missed her mother so much.
"Maybe Qiara is tired and tired, you should just rest right away! Let us parents take care of everything". Sarah said after seeing Renata and Qiara release her hug.
"Waiter, please take Miss Qiara to her room!".
The servant immediately nodded, then walked over to Qiara.
"Miss, come with me!". The waiter said kindly.
Qiara obediently follows the hideous-looking servant with his thick mustache, just like her killer teacher at school.
After arriving at her room, Qiara immediately lay down on the bed, at that moment he looked around the room which was decorated with red paint and knick-knacks.
"Are you happy to see me marrying the man of your choice? I know you always want the best for me. But, does it have to be like this?". Qiara asked, staring at Vania's photo on her cellphone.
~ The next day ~
Sunlight slipped behind the curtain of the room where Qiara sat staring at the reflection of a girl in the mirror, the girl was wearing a white dress with a small crown shining in her hair.
Her lips were bright red, her cheeks were flushed with blush and her pink lids combined with a golden tint, she looked absolutely gorgeous.
But her gaze was so blank, whoever looked at those pairs of eyes would know that the girl was unhappy.
After the makeup artist finished dressing Qiara, Qiara remained alone in the room that had been decorated in such a way with red roses that were around the room. The fragrance of flowers pierced the nose and it was predictable that this room was Qiara and Julian's bridal chamber.
Jeez ... Is that me ?. Qiara thought as she looked at herself through the mirror.
After that Qiara walked to the bed and sat on the side of the bed staring at the door to the closed room right across from her.
Just then, the door suddenly opened and then closed again and broke Qiara's reverie, Qiara saw Julian standing looking at her in front of the door. His tall body leaned against the door in his favorite black suit.
"Are you ready?".
For a moment Qiara was stunned by Julian's charismatic appearance and then nodded unconsciously.
Instantly she remembered the man she had seen sleeping beside her. That day was a puzzle she wanted to forget, she really doesn't remember why and what she did that night with the man without clothes.
"Then I'll wait for you outside. You will go out with Mama and you don't need to worry because only a few people come, and even then our parents and my house servants and the people who will marry us". After saying that, Julian walked out and closed the door.
While Qiara was frozen in bed, she wanted to cry but held back with all her might so as not to make her mother sad.
A moment later the door opened again and it was her mother, with a sweet smile Renata approached her daughter.
"Honey it's time, let's go out!".
Qiara's face was so sad, she didn't want to come out, so Renata began to be confused about what to do.
"Honey, don't be like this, you've been waiting for, so don't make Mama feel ashamed!". Renata said firmly.
"Mama, Qiara does not want to get married, Qiara is afraid, so leave Qiara alone!". Qiara said with a pleading expression.
"Honey why are you saying things like that again? Mama told you yesterday that all this is only for your sister. Now, smile and don't let you cry so that your make-up is not damaged and you still look beautiful". Said Renata who tried to calm her daughter's heart.
