Love In The Throne
Cold Wedding

"Young master Alvin, you've been waiting for the big lady in his study" Alvin's step stopped when one of the household assistants immediately greeted him to tell him about the matter ordered by his big boss.

"Hmm" Alvin answered quickly while nodding his head in understanding. Alvin immediately stepped foot into his oma's office.

Tuk... Tuk...

Alvin politely knocked on the door of his oman workspace with a knocking sound that was not too loud.

"Come in" Oma Ana's firm voice sounded out loud. Alvin opened the big door that was now in front of him and entered the room that was large enough to belong to his Oma. Oma was sitting facing the window looking out. In his hand was clutched a wooden stick that still faithfully accompanied him in all his activities.

"What's Oma calling me at work like this?" he said who was standing in front of Omanya who was cool sitting while enjoying the outside view.

Oma Ana turned her gaze towards Alvin and slightly raised her head to look at him.

"Sit down.." he said flatly. Alvin complies and sits on the sofa facing the direction of his Oma sitting. Oma Ana sighed while confirming her sitting position. He stared for a moment at his grandson's handsome face but felt cold and haughty. His only granddaughter that he had and loved very much.

"I've decided the day and date of your wedding with Nanda." Alvin was a little surprised by his Oma words that sounded flat but quite ear-piercing. Alvin remained silent and chose to listen to his Oma words until it was over. Alvin deliberately put on an expressionless calm face to cover up his surprise.

"The first week of next month is the day your wedding will be held. You don't have to bother taking care of your wedding. I prepared everything well. You just prepare yourself and your heart" Oma Ana took a breath for a moment to balance her voice.

"Your wedding will only be attended by family, close relatives and some corporate relations only. So you and Nanda will not be too troubled to serve guests who come" he continued.

Alvin tried to relax. Although many times he took a deep breath, his tensed body could not lie to him to remain calm. It turns out that what was said and planned Oma is not just a bluff. His oma was really serious with his words.

"Should my marriage be held so soon? I just got to know Nanda. And I don't know him yet. Why is Oma so sure she's the right woman for me?" alvin's body stiffened. His tone sounded resolutely rejecting the one-sided matchmaking from his Oma.

"If if you could soften your ego a little by not taking Nanda down by the side of the road, maybe I could still be generous to give you time to get to know Nanda better. You have broken my orders. And you also have no heart to let a woman walk alone in the middle of a deserted street" Alvin clenched his hand in fury. He did not think it turned out his Oma was paying people to spy on him.

"On Nanda, you don't have to worry. I've investigated in detail who he is. She is a good and responsible girl. He is also a hard worker. Nanda was just a girl who was less fortunate, she had to be born from a poor family and have sick parents. But when compared to your girlfriend 'Celine' for me Nanda is still better" Oma Ana's face is really very serious. His sharp eyes and elegant manner of speaking made Alvin unable to refute.

Alvin snorted annoyedly with his Oma dominant attitude. As a man, he felt very weak because he was unable to find himself a woman who would later become his life partner. If this had nothing to do with the family treasure he had to save, it was certain that he would reject this raw marriage.

"Then, it's up to Oma. Please Oma arrange whatever you want. But one thing that Oma must know, that a marriage that is based without love, do not expect it will end happily" said Alvin cold and firm. Oma Ana looked up her head in response to her granddaughter's haughty and extremely arrogant speech.

"Marriage based on love also does not rule out the possibility of destruction. Most of them can do it without mercy. Here you are in control, what your household will be like. If you could lower that little bit of your overbearing ego, I'm sure whoever that woman will be your partner, she could still make your household feel happy" rebuttal and advice from people who are poured with a voice that sounds trembling has dominated and confirmed the rejection of a defense. Alvin felt no need to argue with his Oma. He will definitely lose. All arguments are rejected. So all he could do was do what his Oma had set him.

The wedding day that was decided has arrived. All preparations have been completed. Decorations and makeup for the bride and groom are all in line with the plan.

Nanda and Alvin are in different rooms. Both of them looked cold with no expression. Nanda himself never imagined that he would have a cold marriage like this. A marriage that is based without any love. Let alone love, to know the figure of her husband can not she do. The shadow of a beautiful marriage with the man he loved has now gone extinct and run aground.

The wedding procession goes with wisdom. Clumsy and clumsy Alvin kisses Nanda's lips. The stiff and cold kiss he did in his marriage was just a fleeting kiss as a sign of the formality of the wedding. But even so, the kiss still looks romantic by the invited guests.

Maybe for Alvin, it wasn't his first kiss. But for Nanda, it was her first kiss. He has never had a serious relationship with any man. He was too focused on working for money for his mother's treatment. So Nanda never felt what a kiss from a man would feel like.

The applause of the witnesses and the invitations sounded boisterous filled the room welcoming the newlywed couple who had just officially become husband and wife. Everyone looks happy and cheerful. Unfortunately, the joy was not seen on the face of Alvin's parents who looked very flat even without the slightest expression of happiness. Nanda is not the daughter-in-law they wanted. Although Oma Ana shows the look of a sumringah face still does not necessarily make them have to show the same face.

The shooting session also felt tense when they had to take pictures with various friendly and romantic poses. Photographers who directed various styles in taking pictures began to feel anxious because of Alvin's attitude that is difficult to be able to smile. Even if he managed to smile, his smile looks forced and less natural. The style of the photo both also seem stiff and awkward.

Nanda looked at Alvin's face a little awkwardly. For some reason suddenly his eyes looked at him so closely. This shooting session really tortured him. He himself did not believe in this marriage. Nanda immediately turned his face when Alvin turned his gaze to him. Alvin's cynical smile flashed on his lips.

The wedding reception has begun. The two newlyweds walked slowly from the main door to the pelaminan stage.As the demands of a screenplay, Nanda wrapped her arms around the stocky arms of Alvin like a couple who loved each other and were very happy with her marriage. All eyes looked at him. The perfect wedding couple where the man is sturdy with a very handsome and elegant look accompanied by a very beautiful and perfect bride with a beautiful dress and perfect luxury makeup.

Guests were busy greeting and congratulating the newlyweds. During the marriage contract until the reception, Alvin's attitude was really very cold. Let alone helping to hold Nanda's hand or help her walk in her long dress that is quite complicated, invite her to speak no matter how much. Alvin and Nanda are like a pair of dolls forced to pretend to be brides to please some people.

The cold treatment displayed by her two in-laws also adds to the complete emptiness of this marriage. Nanda looked sadly at her parents. They also seem to be depressed about this marriage. Because after this, people will definitely find out about the truth about the ins and outs of their parents. What a heavy burden.
