Sean POV
Time passed, proceeding as usual. My life looks fine like nothing has changed. But in reality, everything has changed. Look now I'm sitting waiting for Michelle who is trying to replace her wedding dress. My Granny, who also accompanied me, now sat beside me with enthusiasm.
"I remember my youth. Is this what your grandpa felt while waiting for me to try on a wedding dress?" my Granny started asking me to talk. Slightly let go of the atmosphere that feels like getting bored. Waiting for something is indeed sickening.
"I don't know. I think what grandpa feels will be different from what I feel now," I answered, following what I feel now.
"You mean ?. Are you still not willing to accept this situation? "My Granny looked at me with a surprised look.
"Yes, yes, I accept it. I mean, you and grandpa love each other. Surely grandpa was enthusiastic waiting for you to finish wearing the dress. But how about me ?. I'm not sure how I feel right now, "I raise my shoulders down.
"Never mind. I think we already discussed this sean. Aren't you tired of talking the same thing over and over again? " My Granny crossed her arms on her chest. She looks bored with hearing my complaints.
"Nana, I have received everything. It's just that this still feels strange. I mean, I can't say what I think. You know very well that Michelle and I are always like strangers pioneering friendships. But soon she will be legally my wife. " I try not to complain. Indeed I have tried to accept this marriage.
My Granny replied to my words just by laying my shoulders. I can't blame my Granny. Isn't this my own choice. Even my Granny offered me to stop. If asked, what about Michelle for me?
For me, Michelle is a different woman. She is unique. A woman who, for the first time. It doesn't care about my background, no matter how famous I am, no matter how rich I am. Before the time of the wedding, I tried to get to know Michelle more closely.
Do you know what effort I have made? I still remember how I tried to get my secretary to investigate Michelle. It was in vain. Michelle came to my office, and calmly said, "You don't have to tell anyone else to find out the ins and outs of my life. After marriage, you will know naturally, how I am ". After that, she just left. I don't know how she found out I sent my secretary
I also invited him to watch a movie. Without asking for Michelle's advice, I immediately chose films with romantic genres. From my experience, some women love movies with the theme of romance. But again, it was in vain. During the film, Michelle did not look interested, even occasionally more busy playing with her cellphone. I asked Michelle if she wasn't interested in romance-themed films. And Michelle answered, "I don't know what romance is. So I do not care because, indeed, I do not understand, "she replied. The answer that never I thought came out of a woman's mouth.
The ridiculous thing I did was visit Michelle to her shop with a bucket of flowers. I imagined that Michelle would be impressed to see a man in a dashing suit approaching her with beautiful flowers. Unfortunately, even that became the ridiculous thing I did. What I heard from Michelle's mouth next was, "You bring a woman who owns a flower shop a bouquet. My flowers are even fresher than this. Sean, what is your purpose? Did we marry your grandmother, right? Don't take everything too seriously. I'm not restraining you because of this bond. If you want to treat someone like this, just find another woman out there. Not me. I'm just your wife, not your love ".
I want to scream to release my frustration. What string of words should I put together for this? I married without love, then who knew this relationship would end happily or not. Imagine for a moment if you were in my position.
"Oh God, Michelle," my Granny shouted, made me realize from my daydream. At that time, Michelle came out with a wedding dress that is now correctly attached to her body. Michelle elegantly stood to front me, showing proudly the dress she was wearing. Honestly, Michelle's beautiful. Even her face hasn't polished yet, but she already looks perfect.
My Granny approached Michelle to hug her, what's wrong with this situation? It's not even my wedding day yet, but my Granny has acted with emotion. "I think this dress is suitable for you. We just take this one, "I said simply, Even though I want to see Michelle for longer in that dress. My heart rustled in admiration to see her wearing the dress.
"Then what about your suit?" Michelle asked me
"no problem. I've found the right one for me. I was tired all day. Can we finish this as soon as possible? I will take you home ". Michelle nodded in agreement. I called my driver to pick up my Granny immediately. While I was getting ready to finish something else and send Michelle back to her house.

I neatly arranged my work files and then approached Raina, who had been waiting for me since earlier. I sat right in front of her. Raina looked at me differently from before. I think the gaze she is pointing at me right now is more cynical.
"I'm sorry you waited for a long time. I didn't know you would visit at all. What do you want to talk about? "I started the chit chat. During this time, Raina often contacted, whether it was through w******p, or called me. I think the news about me getting married in two days has reached her ears. And that made her immediately approached me.
"What did I hear, Sean? I think we are in a very close stage, "Raina protested to me. I knew this discussion was about my marriage.
"Raina, what's wrong with me getting married? Am I old enough for that, right? "I tried to smile, hoping Raina didn't attack me more
"Don't pretend you don't understand this situation, Sean. I already told you about my feelings. I think you are always kind to me every time we call, is a sign that you also have the same taste as me "Raina protested
"Raina, I told you sometimes the mistakes I make some women misunderstand. I just think of you as my friend. Did I ever say that I like you too? Look, I don't want to ruin this relationship. For me, this friendship is enough between us "I carefully rectify the misunderstanding that occurred.
"Well, if indeed, you are not a man who likes to play with feelings. Then? Do you love your future wife? " Variety raised an eyebrow when she asked that. I was stunned. I can only smile in my silence.
"I knew it. Sean, you did this marriage because you pushed by something, right ?. Alright, I let you. Considering you don't love that woman. No problem. Remember this carefully. If you are not happy with your marriage. Then I will always be there for you. I told you my love is sincere for you. " Raina rose from her seat, walked toward me, then landed her kiss on my forehead. I can't help but try to maintain her feelings because she is the daughter of my colleague. Business is more important to me for now. Raina left my room without saying anything else.
***********
The long-awaited day has come. My guests started with my best friend, my acquaintance, and my business partner came to meet my marriage hall. The sacred promise I made with Michelle just happened. Well, now Michelle and I have officially become husband and wife.
Am I dreaming right now? Michelle stood beside me in a wedding dress that looked elegant, wrapped her body. This time her face looks fresh with makeup. Is this woman my wife? Well, I just pinned the ring on the sweet finger. Happiness radiated so brightly from my grandmother's face. I think she was satisfied because her wish came true
Nobody asked why I could get married, why it all happened so fast. Wherefrom, my future wife, come? Am I happy right now?
There is currently only Michelle, and I put on a fake smile for the occasion. Impressed my Granny, and showed everyone present at the party that Michelle and I were happy. The only thing that happened was me, and Michelle were married. I don't know what will happen next in this bond.
