Forced Marriage

“I’m sorry, the road was really jammed,” said Aqilla, who had just entered the main door of the Rivenno residence. Beside her was a middle-aged man, Leon Grisham, who was none other than Sarah Rivenno’s husband and Aqilla’s father. Leon looks very dashing at the age of 55. He is the owner of the largest fashion company in China that has collaborated with the Rivenno Group to date.

“Hey babe,” Leon greeted as he hugged his wife, Sarah.

Liza smiled faintly at the romance of her brother – in – law , Leon ‘s attitude was not much different from Joan ‘s . Even though sometimes Joan seems a little scrappy. .

“Hello, bro,” Joan called as she hugged her brother-in-law’s body, examining his entire appearance from top to bottom, completely different from the appearance of his former playboy brother.

Leon chuckled softly, there was a happy feeling to be able to meet his broter-in-law for the first time.

“Your broter is so handsome dear,” Leon grinned while looking at Sarah and Joan one by one.

Joan only smiled awkwardly at the teasing of her brother-in-law, she hit Leon’s muscular arm lightly, “Thanks bro, but I think you are more handsome than me”.

“Bro, this is my wife,” said Joan, introducing his wife to Leon.

“Hello bro, nice to meet you,” Liza said holding out her hand and Leon immediately replied warmly.

“Wow, your wife is very beautiful, Joan,” said Leon, making Liza blush.

“Yes, dear, Liza was a former actress 17 years ago. She used to be very popular and had many fans,” Sarah explained, Leon widened his eyes in surprise at his wife’s statement. He did not expect the profession of his broter-in-law’s wife.

“Wow, seriously, the visual beauty is not kidding,” Leon said while clapping his hands seeing the beauty of Liza’s face and body.

“By the way, who are the two boys and the beautiful girl?” asked Leon while pointing at Keenan, Kiran and Kenzie who were sitting together on one of the sofas. When the child was busy chatting with their Grandma and Grandpa.

“They are Uncle Joan and Aunt Liza’s children,” said Aqilla with a lazy face, she was still upset about the incident this morning which involved Keenan as the culprit.

“It’s true that the saying that the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree, their visuals are really similar to the two of you,” said Leon. He never stopped expressing his admiration for Joan and her family.

“But ….,” Leon hung his words.

“How come Kenzie doesn’t look like you guys?” Leon continued , making Liza and Joan look worried .

Joan bit her lower lip, she cast her gaze towards Liza. Likewise with Liza who was also afraid that Leon would find out Kenzie’s secret.

“Oh really? Kenzie looks just like us,” replied Joan with a nervous face.

“Yes dear?” asked Joan to convince Liza.

Liza quickly nodded in agreement. She quickly approached the children followed by Joan to divert Leon’s conversation.

“Aqilla is here honey, get to know your cousin first!” Liza’s orders were immediately obeyed by Aqilla.

Aqilla immediately sat down next to Kiran, already familiar to them because of the meeting in the cafeteria earlier.

“It turns out that we are Aqilla’s cousins,” Kiran said, cheering happily, she hugged Aqilla’s tiny body.

“Yeah, I don’t think I ran, I thought we weren’t related by blood,” said Aqilla, no less excited.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Keenan was very disturbed by the noise of the two women beside him, it really took away his concentration in playing online games.

“Can you two not be excited like that?” Keenan snapped throwing his glass shirt’s cell phone.

Upset, that’s what Keenan felt. According to Keenan, Aqilla was the person who caused him to be slapped by Joan.

Aqilla looked into Keenan’s beady eyes, and Keenan was also caught in Aqilla’s round and beautiful eyes. Without Keenan knowing it, feelings of liking had been instilled since his first meeting with Aqilla. It’s just that his ego was too high to be kind and gentle to his cousin He decided to leave the living room to the gazebo in the luxurious house to smoke cigarettes secretly without being noticed by Joan or Liza.

While inside there were already nine people chatting in the living room which has a capacity for more than 20 people. It’s different from Keenan who chooses to be busy with his own world.

On that cool morning you can see Liza preparing breakfast for the children and her husband Joan. Even though she is asbroted by several household members in their new house, Liza doesn’t want to escape her responsibilities as a wife and a mother, she is still diligent in cooking food for the family. that small.

“Kiran, eat a lot! You don’t need to go on a diet, my dear, besides, your body is already good,” Liza said to her beloved daughter.

Liza started to put a plate of fried rice in front of Kiran and continued by storing the food in front of her two sons. Kenzie is served with a plate of salad , while Keenan prefers if his breakfast is just toast and a glass of milk .

Liza started to sit down next to her beloved husband, Joan smiled broadly at Liza. What a beautiful sight Joan has seen for the past 17 years, living with the woman she loves makes her forget everything else including her own parents.

” Hurry up and eat honey ! Hurry up and the fried rice will get cold ! ” Liza snapped interrupting Joan ‘s reverie .

“Ready Madam!”.

Joan started to eat the fried rice with gusto , as well as the four members of her family who were just as busy eating their food without talking about anything , only to hear a cough from one of them . There was also someone who choked because he ate too fast. This was experienced by Keenan, who ate in a hurry with the aim of wanting to come to school earlier than his two siblings. He intends to avenge the treatment of Kiran and Kenzie who left him yesterday.

“Eat slowly, Keenan! Don’t be like someone who is being chased by the devil,” said Joan, lecturing her son a little.

“Sorry Dad, because Keenan wants to come quickly to school, afraid to be late like yesterday again,” Keenan replied after drinking his glass of milk.

Keenan started to get up from his seat, he first took a piece of tissue that was placed on the table. Carefully he wiped his lips afraid that there would be traces of food stuck to his lips.

“You want to leave now Keenan, don’t you want to wait for your younger siblings first?” Liza asked curiously.

“No mom, it’s too long to wait for them. Hurry to finish school,” Keenan replied, a little sarcastically to his two younger siblings.

“Okay, you just go with Daddy Kee, let your younger siblings be delivered by the driver,” said Joan, who started to stop her eating activities.

The man with a well-built and broad body immediately put on his navy suit, asbroted by his wife.

Cups …

Joan kissed Liza’s forehead, not forgetting that she also stroked the tops of Kiran’s and Kenzie’s heads in turn.

“Daddy goes first, you guys eat relaxed, it’s still a long time to enter!” Joan’s orders were nodded by Kiran and also Kenzie.

“Take care dad” said Kiran.

Joan nods at Kiran and goes back to Liza.

“I’ll go first you are good at home yah!”

Joan hugged Liza’s body and whispered something in the woman’s ear “If anything happens, call me dear!” he whispered and was nodded by Liza .

“Honey, later I’m going out for a while to find a friend,” Liza said asking permission from her husband. This afternoon he intends to meet someone who used to be very important in his life.

“Okay,” Joan replied. Then she strolled past Liza and stepped out of the dining room into the parking area following her son who had entered his car first.

Liza stared at her husband’s back which slowly started to disappear from her view. She sat back down to join her children to continue her eating activities which had been stopped.

For a few minutes they had finished the food on their plates .

“Mom, Kiran and Kenzie go first,” said Kiran, starting to feel Liza’s smooth and white hands.

“Yes dear, be careful, those who study diligently,” Liza stroked the top of her daughter’s head followed by kissing Kiran’s forehead.

“Mom, Kenzie will go first,” said Kenzie, also shaking Liza’s hand.

“Yes, deck, you study hard too! Don’t follow Keenan’s attitude!” Liza said stroking the top of Kenzie’s head.

Kenzie is always called dedek by Liza and Joan. The reason is because Kenzie is the last born baby, but in reality it is because Kenzie is Liza’s younger broter.

Kiran and Kenzie started walking hurriedly towards the parking space, there was Mr. Odi who had started the car.

Liza was left alone in the dining room, she grabbed her cell phone which had been in her pocket. He even wrote a message to someone.

(Meet me at Vino Cafe this morning, I miss you Dilan)

Liza put her phone back into her pocket after sending that short message.

Dilan, a man who has never disappeared from his mind and heart. His name and figure are always embedded like gum that can’t be lost, even though it has been removed in various ways. 17 years is not a short time for Dilan to wait for his meeting with Liza.
