When Love

When Love
CHAPTER 18


Anin looked nervous as she was already inside the room Shan was in. He just lowered his head while playing his hand, looking a hint of uneasiness from his body language. Though a few minutes ago the guts were so smoldering, but instantly shriveled, so faced with Shan.


Shan glanced at Anin who had not started talking since he had sat down earlier. It had been fifteen minutes of time they had spent just to remain silent.


" Why shut up, don't you want to talk to me?" chirping Shan started the conversation. " Speak, isn't that what you came here for."


" Related..." Anin suddenly fell silent for a moment. He tried to calm himself.


" About marriage?" guess Shan then. The catch was right on target. Anin wanted to question yesterday's events.


" If you already know, please clarify," Anin said looking at him sharply.


" Clarifying?" Shan emphasized Anin's words. " What should I clarify? it was clear that night that I would marry you, Anindira Maheswari."


" What??" Anin's shock was unstoppable as Shan easily said those words. " I didn't hear wrong, did I?"


" No."


" but...." Anin could not continue his words. It was very desirable that he was looking for Shan with a question about the woman they were arguing with last night.


" What makes you doubt my seriousness?" Highlight Shan's eyes turned sharp as he let out that question. Never had Anin seen Shan's so serious face.


" Road". Also from Anin's lips was the woman's name. " You guys had a fight because of that woman and then you suddenly said you were going to marry me. Do you think I'm just an impingement. If you like it, why not just fight for the blessing of Om."


" Who said I liked it? Was that night any of my words about that?"


" Why did you and Om have to fight because of that woman. Is that not proof that you have a relationship."


" Ha...." Shan let out a long breath. Once again this girl in front of him always made her own conclusions which sometimes made him frustrated. " Anin. stop. Can you not make your own conclusions. In essence you don't want to marry me, do you?"


The deg!!


" I see, you're young and want to enjoy your youth. But, just this once I begged you, help me. I have only one parent and I am currently sick. I just want to see her happy to see me married, although this marriage seems forced, I have no problem at all."


" I'm still a child, often making people upset, can't cook, can only be troublesome. Is that okay for you?"


Shan smiled slightly.


" No problem," Shan replied firmly.


" Alright, I have three requirements for you."


" Say."


" First, let me stay in college."


" okay."


" Second, let me keep playing with my friends."


" okay."


" Third, nothing..." Anin looked nervous not continuing her words and just lowered her head.


" No conjugal relations, that's what you mean?" chirp Shan who made Anin shocked. Anin nodded her head slowly without looking towards Shan. " Why?"


" Don't ask me again, I don't know what to answer," he said, not wanting to answer Shan's question.


" It's up to you" said Shan who actually did not answer Anin's last request. " Agni and Bimo are getting married in less than two weeks, so we're getting married that day."


" Why so fast?"


" It's impossible for us to delay any longer, we don't know Papa's next condition. The sooner the better, the better not to delay the goodwill."


" Alright, I understand," Anin said in the end.


" Shan!" A woman's voice called out her name. Anin and Shan looked shocked by the arrival of that person. " Anin" he hugged Anin as soon as he saw the girl sitting down.


" Bak Disti."


" What are you doing here?" tanyanya excitedly.


" That's...." Anin glanced towards Shan then smiled at Disti.


Anin nodded.


" What's the conclusion then?"


" We will get married on the same day as her sister Anin's wedding" Shan said, to Disti's surprise.


" Really?" Disti looked at Anin hoping to get an answer from her. Anin nodded. " Well....". Disti hugged Anin happy. " Are you being forced by that man," pointed to Disti which of course made Shan surprised.


" Hey!!! Am I like a criminal in your eyes" Shan protested.


" Yes," said Disti who made Shan unmoved. " Listen to me, if Shan does anything bad to you, just tell me, I'll make a calculation with him, got it!"


" I.iya sis, I understand."


Shan only sighed looking at the manner of his best friend. He seemed happy when he heard Anin was getting married but on the other hand he was cynical to her. Shan had indeed gotten used to this strange attitude of his, he could not say anything more if Disti had already let out his voice.


Disti laughed happily as soon as she got permission to take Anin with her. For him Anin is a valuable asset, a model that he has patented to use his latest design later.


He was hooked at first sight by the sweet girl. He thinks that Anin is different from the model who has been working with him especially with the woman who is most avoided to meet is Mentari. He does not like women who have experience in the field of models. Everything to him, nothing he likes.


" Boyou Disti...." Anin looks hesitant to get out of the dressing room. " What's good?" tanyanya was not confident in wearing the clothes that Disti had given her.


" Perfect", he smiled.


" Really?"


" Of course, why would I lie."


" The reason is that Anin is afraid of disappointing sister."


" It's good," he said, which made Anin smile.


" Thank you, brother."


" May ..."


" Yes, brother."


" May I ask you something?"


" Of course."


" Are you sure you're married to Shan. I know your arrival here wasn't just about agreeing to last night's statement. There must be something that makes you doubt."


For a moment Anin was silent, he was confused as to what to answer Disti's sudden question. For him to marry Shan just to make old people happy. As for feelings, he was not sure what he had in his feelings for the man.


" Anin...," call Disti because she sees Anin daydreaming. " If you don't want a story, it's okay, don't daydream."


" Ah, sorry brother," said Anin stiffly.


" Yes already."


" Sister, can Shan Anin believe it?"


Disti smiled as soon as she got the question from Anin's lips. " Do you doubt him?" Anin nodded slowly. " Why?''


" Road."


" Mantari... , Shan and Mentari have nothing to do. If you want to know why Om and Shan fought that night, it's all because Om didn't like it. Mentari always made trouble for Shan, until he met Om and made a fuss. Therefore, Om emphasized to Shan what their relationship was like because Shan had always helped him."


" Does Shan like it."


" No."


" no?"


" Shan never liked it. You know exactly who Shan likes, until he blatantly says something important that night."


Anin was speechless at Disti's statement, because Anin knew the answer.


" I'm."
