The Unusual Wedding Scenario
Up 2

After Ree took a bath, he rushed to his room which was upstairs. Surely he came out of the bathroom wearing his bathrobe that his mother had brought him.

Ree came out of the room wearing an oversized short-sleeved t-shirt and wearing a hotpant as is his usual daily routine inside the house.

"Mom Juliiie..." Ree came down the stairs with a small run while shouting his mother's name.

Julie Oswald was the wife of Ead Oswald, who was the top prosecutor in City X and was ranked the 3rd richest family in City X. Not only rich, but their families are also very influential and respected. Despite that, their family is famous for its generosity and hospitality. So many people paid respect to the Oswald family. But now, everything is gone. No more respect for the Oswald family. Even the family was now gone from the surface.

Julie Oswald changed her name to Julie Ainsley after the incident 12 years ago, which she still hides from her son. After the incident, Julie also changed the name of Reese Oswald to Reese Ainsley.

Julie accidentally uses her surname, as she feels no one will recognize her. Given that when she married Ead Oswald, she was just an orphan and from an ordinary family.

Julie smiled with teary eyes as she watched her daughter come down the stairs and call her name. He was moved to see the figure of his little princess who used to always be spoiled, now has grown up and must bear the financial burden to survive in City X. Moreover, he for the last 7 years must be treated continuously because of his illness.

"Let's sit down dear" said Julie wipe her tears that almost fell and immediately put rice on the plate for her daughter to eat.

Ree sat his body in a chair near the kitchen to prepare to eat the food that was in front of his eyes.

"Let's eat baby. You must be really hungry. Moreover, your work there is very heavy, it must be exhausting for you" Julie sat opposite Ree who seemed excited.

"Akh. Mom's used to it. Hehehe" Ree waved his hand with a sunyum that did not fade from his lips. He took the side dishes that his mother had cooked and ate them with vigor.

"Brand.... Thank you Mom" Ree said after finishing the meal on his plate. He immediately approached his mother and kissed her cheek.

"Mommy's beautiful daughter's happy birthday" Julie gently stroked her daughter's hair.

"Mommy is the best. But alas, the savings should be reduced because buy chicken, shrimp, and all this" exclaimed Ree advancing his lips pointing at the plate in front of him that was empty.

"Hehehe.... That's why you married dong. Find pair. Let's not have to work anymore. Some give money every month, it's good. There's a temenin bobo upstairs. You are not alone in the room. There's.." Julie's nagging about the wedding begins.

"It's always like this" inner Ree.

Given that today was his birthday, he did not want to have a heated debate as usual. So, Ree just kept quiet and nodded his head listening to his mother.

"Find a couple, Ree. Let it be later if Mommy is not there, someone takes care of you" Julie said with a sad face, making Ree can not stand to see it.

"Don't talk like that, Mom" Ree clasped his mother's hand and stroked her. He returned his mother's eyes with his puppy eyes.

"But Mommy wants to see you get married" Julie said in a sad tone of voice. He took a glass filled with water and drank it. It seemed like Julie was thirsty after speaking at length.

"Okey Mom!" ree shouted as he got up from his seat.

"Uhuk uhuk" Julie choked on the water and looked at Ree in surprise. Because it's not usually Ree responds that way.

"Oh my mom. Drink it slowly" Ree walked over to Julie. It's Julie's shoulder that's still coughing.

"You startle Mom" Julie grumbled between her coughs.

"Oh. I'm sorry Mom" he said.

"Oh, that's..." Ree paused his words. "okay... Ree wants to find a partner first. So Ree went up to the room first" continued Ree pointing up and walking towards the stairs.

"really ? Are you really looking for a partner and a marriage partner ?" ask Julie to confirm her hearing. Because usually, his daughter was always indignant. And the nod from Ree pleased him.

"Finally you give up son" Julie said with a triumphant smile.

Julie used to think that her son was abnormal because until now, she had never seen his daughter introduce a man to him.

Moreover, Ree often insists that he does not want to get married, when ending their debate.

Julie also thinks that her daughter may have experienced trauma in men. Remembering his daughter always blames his father for what happened to their lives. Hating to be associated with men. Even though his father died.

Ree doesn't know the secret Julie's hiding. Because Julie hasn't dared to bring it up.

All Ree knows is just what people say. People say that the Oswald family fell, because his father who committed corruption and betrayed the country by protecting criminals. Until his father was put to death, for this despicable act.

Ree's up the stairs. But before he got to the top floor, he smiled and shouted again. "But the marriage is in a dream, Mom. Huaah" said he pretended to yawn and chuckle because he had tricked Julie.

Julie who heard her daughter's final answer could only snort in annoyance. Take their old dinner plates and wash them. Clean a slightly messy house.

Ree had never let his mother wash pring or clean the house. Because according to his mother, his daughter is already working hard out there for their lives and will definitely be more tired if you have to do homework again.

Ree leaned his tired body on the back of the mattress. Look at a pink book she has picked up. It's his habit. Read a book before going to bed. But not a textbook. Except for a novel.

Ree loves to read all novels that are fantasy, romantic, comedy, and time travel. As it is now. Ree read a follow-up to the unfinished novel he had read.

A novel about love that tells the meeting of a poor girl with a rich man and finally a happy life. Although there is a bit of conflict.

Ree didn't really want to get married. It's just that he hasn't found the man of his dreams. And hope that one day will find it and live happily like a sweet story in a novel.

"My ideas are to marry a rich man" Ree said, closing his book and placing it in a drawer near his bed.

Ree laid down his body and closed his eyes. Hugging his bolster and muttering indistinctly.

"If I can't reach my goals. I'd better be the rich guy. But it was more unlikely" he murmured in a chuckle imagining it happening. Shortly thereafter, he fell asleep in his sleep.
