Stuck Wedding Trial.
beautiful moment's

Stephanie almost cried when she heard that her mother had not given her permission to return home. With a heavy heart, he crouched down in the corner of Jonathan's room, letting the tears fall silently so as not to disturb Jonathan.

In her tears, Stephanie keeps remembering the moment when Jonathan said kabul. In the past, he did not realize how strong the binding was, but now he felt it to the full. He ponders about how important the symbol is, which now keeps him attached to a relationship he cannot avoid.

Stephanie pondered deeply about how she considered kabul to be the cover of her disgrace. But now he felt a deep regret. In her unstoppable cry, Stephanie muttered, "It doesn't want to be like this, huhuhu, Ani still wants to go to school, Ani still wants to have fun, Mama, huhuhu."

At the end of the bed, Jonathan felt his eyes blink a few times as he heard the sound of sobs creeping in the room. Slowly, he turned his body and looked towards Stephanie.

In his mind, Jonathan is overpowered by the scenes as he faces a situation involving Carlos. Guilt burned his mind, especially in light of the scathing accusations Carlos made against him.

"I've never even eaten a single grain of rice from your hand, Papa Jho." those words kept echoing in his mind, but suddenly the sadness was replaced by Stephanie's sobs that sounded from the corner of the room.

Slowly, Jonathan's ears began to catch Stephanie's increasingly loud cries. The sound of sobbing seeped into his heart, stirring up his feelings.

"It's so young. Ani wants to feel in love, wants to go to college too. Huhuhuhu, why did Ani have to get married so young, Mama, huhuhu," Stephanie moaned in the corner of the room.

Suddenly, the image of Carlos' angry face in Jonathan's mind slowly faded, replaced by Stephanie's crying shadow. She feels a wave of empathy flowing into her, approaching Stephanie who talks about the desires and longings that spill over her heart.

Jonathan feels there is something fascinating and mesmerizing in Stephanie's personality. Despite her sadness, she still exuded an incredible charm. Her wet eyes and reddened face only added to her natural beauty.

Jonathan feels as if he is hypnotized by Stephanie's sincere expression. For a moment, she fell silent, contemplating beauty in simplicity and suddenly experiencing a strong urge to want to protect Stephanie and wipe the tears from her face.

Jonathan carefully rose from his bed, slowly approaching Stephanie, who was busy crying. Slowly, he sat down beside Stephanie to equalize the heights of the two of them. At first, Stephanie is unaware of Jonathan's presence, but when she finally looks up to him, their eyes meet.

In the silent atmosphere, the heartbeat of the two sounded like bells clinking rapidly. Each of their pulses seemed to depict the anxiety and tension they felt in that moment.

Stephanie slowly stopped her crying, but her tears were still wet on her reddish cheeks. His eyes were wide open, flabbergasted by the intense gaze from Jonathan. The two of them seemed to be connected by an invisible stream of energy, a light radiating between them.

"Ani," Jonathan whispered in a soft voice, calling out Stephanie's nickname.

"Tu... Sir," Stephanie replied stammeringly, her eyes locked on Jonathan's face.

Jonathan smiled gently, "Ani, stop calling me Master. Accept reality, whether you like it or not, I am your husband" he said understandingly.

Gently, Jonathan moved his fingertips to wipe away the tears still lingering on Stephanie's cheek. The touch was as if sending an electrical wave through Stephanie's body. His heart rate was getting faster, as if he wanted to jump out of his chest.

Stephanie once felt strong feelings for someone, as she felt for Ridho. However, what he felt now was much different. This was a feeling that shook his entire world, taking over his mind with overwhelming gentleness and intensity.

However, in Stephanie's heart, she reluctantly admits it as "love". He felt unprepared to say the word, even to himself.

"No, sir, you're wrong, Ani..." Stephanie stopped as her voice stammered. He could not feel the truth from the words Jonathan had just spoken. This marriage, with such a stark age difference and the fact that she was the same age as Jonathan's son, made it hard to accept this reality.

Jonathan did not smile, but suddenly grabbed Stephanie in his arms. He held her gently, then whispered softly in Stephanie's ear, word for word seeping into her heart.

Jonathan continued, "Ani, even though our age difference is so great, I will prove that I can make you happy. Let me be selfish, Ani. I want to have you as a husband, not as an employer. Give me time to make you fall in love with this old man."

He grabbed Stephanie's face, looked her in the eye sincerely, then continued, "But, Ani, please, don't try to walk away from me. Without you, I would feel crazy. The world inside me will collapse without you, Ani. I can't say this is love, but one thing is for sure, I need you to breathe. You're air to me and without you, I'd be dead."

With those words, Stephanie who was still hugged and whispered by Jonathan's romantic words felt stiff . His eyes widened, not believing what he was hearing. He was unable to move, even his heart felt as if it had stopped beating, caught in this intense moment.

Without waiting for Stephanie to answer, Jonathan snorted softly and held Stephanie ala bridal style in his arms. With a careful step, he lifted it up and placed it softly on the bed. Stephanie could only look at Jonathan with her eyes wide open, unable to believe that this was really happening.

In an instant, he felt as if he was dreaming, with mixed feelings filling his chest. Stephani's stunned and confused face became a real picture of the sudden change in her life.

"Here, I'll take a shower for a while. Never ask for another room. Starting tonight, Ani sleeps here. This room, this house, and everything in it, it's all for Ani" Jonathan said in a soft but determined voice.

Inwardly, Jonathan knew he had to fight for his own happiness. She has decided to face this reality, and she is convinced that today Stephanie may not consider her husband, but she will work to change that view, slowly.

Jonathan is determined that there will be no word of talaq that he will say to Stephanie. He has decided to find a way to create a deeper relationship, albeit with such a huge age difference.

After saying those words, Jonathan left Stephanie alone in the room, heading for the bathroom that was inside the room itself.

Stephanie, now left alone, blinked her eyes several times, trying to digest whether this was all real or just a dream. However, the truth soon realized it and he knew that this was not an illusion, but a reality that he had to face.

In the silence of the room, Stephanie tries to feel what is in her heart. "Is this love?" her inner self, "Despite love or not, I am Jonathan's wife. Is this a crazy act?"

Stefanie was flabbergasted by the chaotic thoughts. "Is Mr Jonathan thinking of having a husband-and-wife relationship tonight?" His mind was swirling in confusion. "No, I'm a minor, uh, past 17, but I'm still a kid, right? Oh, how's this?" Unlike usual, she felt the adrenaline throbbing in her, making her heart beat faster.

He sat thinking for a long time, caught up in strange considerations about the relationship between the two of them. After a while, Jonathan finally came out of the bathroom by changing into a nightgown.

Stefanie felt embarrassed and decided to pretend to sleep with her clothes still neatly attached. His mind was still swept away by the previous conversation.

Jonathan smiled briefly at Stefanie, then lay down next to her. Wordlessly, he gently embraced Stephanie. There was a short kiss given to Stefanie's long hair, providing warmth without putting more pressure.

Stefanie closed her eyes, letting herself feel this closeness. He hoped to go to sleep soon, but his mind was still filled with questioning and restlessness.

Not long after, he heard the sound of Jonathan's breathing deepening, indicating that he had slept. While Stephanie, despite feeling tense in Jonathan's arms, feels herself slowly slumbering into dreamland.

However, in her dream, the atmosphere turned more beautiful and gentle. Stephanie walks in a flower garden filled with stunning colors. And in the middle of the garden, there was Jonathan, extending his hand to him with a gentle smile on his face.

Stephanie felt her heartbeat slow down, as if time had stopped in this moment. He grabbed Jonathan's hand with a feeling of peace and joy. They walked together, inhaled the scent of the flowers and felt a warm comfort.

When night fell, they sat under the stars shining brightly. Jonathan grabs Stephanie's hand, grasping her gently. Their gazes met each other, sending out an unspoken vibration of feeling between them.

However, suddenly the atmosphere changes and Stephanie's dreams begin to fade. This is because it is morning.
