#Book 2 Chapter 34
” Nass! Go to sleep already! You still need to wake up early tomorrow!” Tiya shouted at me.
I pouted at her.
” But I can’t sleep…”
” Too excited, Nass?” Kuya Khalil said with a raised eyebrow.
I glared at him.
” And also, how can I sleep when the three of you are here?” I said at Theo, Kuya, and Zeke.
” We will leave when you fall asleep,” Theo said.
I rolled my eyes at him. Theo and I are much closer now, and while we are getting closer, I can see his attitude more now! Huhuhuhu! He’s turned shameless! Just Kidding.
” Hay, you three, you should leave too. You may wake up Kathriane. Also, you all need to wake up early tomorrow” Zeke shook his head.
” Oh no, Tiya, we won’t sleep. We are going to countdown starting later at 12,” Zeke said at Tiya.
Tiya’s mouth slightly opened, and she repeatedly blinked at Zeke.
” What?”
I hit Zeke on his arms and glared at him.
” No, no, no, Tiya, we’re staying here,” Kuya said.
I almost kicked Kuya because of what he said.
I looked at Tiya, who are smiling weirdly.
Oh no…
” Uwahhhhhh” we all looked at Kathriane’s crib when we heard her cry.
I sighed and stood up to go in her direction.
I looked at my back and saw the three, who nervously stood up near the door.
Tiya got her slippers, smiling.
” You’re gonna leave or not…?” I smiled and went to the veranda while carrying Kathriane.
It’s been 6 months since she was born, we thought of starting the wedding preparations last month.
Keian and I are going to be married tomorrow…
” Out! Now! You should know my slippers are really hard!”
” Tiya! We are leaving now— don’t!”
“We are not-oh! kids anymore!”
I heard their screams inside.
Kathriane slightly turned to where the noise is coming from, and surprisingly she stopped crying and smiled.
” Pffttt- mwahahaha!” I fixed her hair, which has grown a lot.
” Oh, baby… Don’t mind them, okay?” She looked at me curiously and stretched her arms to my face.
” Did you just missed mommy that’s why you cried?” She stared at me before switching to my hair.
She took a strand of my hair and almost put it to her mouth.
” Oh no, Kathriane, my hair may be dirty… Wait, I’ll get your toy, okay?” She looked at me again.
The three are already outside but are still peeking while pouting.
Tiya approached me.
” I’ll take care of Kathriane, Nass. You really need to sleep now.”
” It’s really fine Tiya, I can’t really sleep” I took Kathriane’s toy.
A color black wolf stuffed toy.
Kathriane held it and examined it.
” Go ahead. I won’t force you to sleep, but let me carry Kathriane. You should rest…” I smiled at her and gave Kathriane, maybe Tiya already misses carrying our child hihihi.
I returned to the bed and sat down, then watched the three men outside the room who are still pouting.
” Is Katie not looking for you, Zeke?” I asked him. He looked at me and gestured to me.
” She prep talked Keian. It even seems like she doesn’t want to see me. Is it us who’s going to be married? Hay, that baby of mine…” I just raised him an eyebrow and sighed.
I tousled my hair and walked to them.
I’m staying in Keian’s room while he’s staying in a guest room. They said we’re not allowed to see each other before the wedding… Kathriane was with Keian in the morning, then she’s with me tonight. That’s what we talked about.
Manang and Tiya may get mad at us.
When they saw me, they all took a step back with their eyes wide.
” O-oy Nass, you look like you are going to kill us…” Theo said, stuttering.
” Then just why are all of you still not going back to your rooms? It’s the reason why I can’t sleep even more!” The three simultaneously rolled their eyes.
So what? They practiced?
” ‘Cause, what if you run away from Keian or you meet each other? You may get bad luck. Do you want that?” Kuya threatened.
I winced at him.
” I’m following what Tiya and Manang said! I won’t disobey them!”
“Really? Don’t you know you’re very mischievous?” My brother teased me.
I hissed.
” Nass!” I looked at our side and glanced at Keian’s face before it was covered by wide backs of Dale, Erick, and Kuya Kayden.
” Why are you not letting me approach?!” Keian said, irritated.
I walked to them, but I was stopped by Theo, Kuya, and Zeke.
” I told you, Kei, it’s not allowed…” Dale said.
Keian looked at him like shooting daggers and insisted on approaching me.
I saw Tiya leave the room.
I peeked inside it and saw that Kathriane are already asleep. That was fast…
” We talked about this already Kei, right?” Keian looked at Tiya and slightly pouted before avoiding his eyes.
” Yes, Tiya…”
” Well then, you all should go back to your rooms now” the boys were a little dumbfounded at Tiya’s voice and said ‘YES!’ simultaneously, then left.
Keian and I smiled at each other before going back to our rooms.
” Try to get some sleep, Nass. I’ll leave you and Kathriane now, okay?” I smiled at Tiya and nodded.
” Thank you, Tiya.” She nodded too and left.
I watch Kathriane to make myself sleepy, then slept with a smile to prepare for tomorrow…
—
It was just three in the morning, and I was woken already to prepare.
The wedding is still in the afternoon, but there are many preparations needed to be done.
Tiya and Manang are assisting me with our bridesmaid, Ema, Roxy, Katie, Clara, Laiza, and Jane, who even filed a leave at work to be included in the people helping me.
We went to a hotel, it’s where we were given makeup and things.
A famous makeup artist put makeup on me, and I felt like an artist at the number of people assisting me. I would just wince sometimes while being groomed.
Katie and Clara overreacted a little bit at hiring people. They arranged who will do my makeup and groom me.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
But what I looked like after makeup is excellent.
” Wow…” said all the people inside the room where I am staying.
They are all looking at me and studying me.
” U-uhmmmm,” I smiled awkwardly at them.
” Formidable! Magnifique! Parfait! (Wonderful! Gorgeous! Perfect!) My makeup artist shouted, who even came from France.
The people inside clapped.
I smiled.
” Thank you all of you for your effort” Others even shouted and applauded again.
” You’re so beautiful, Ate Nass,” Clara said to me.
I touched her shoulder.
” You’re beautiful too, Clara,” ’cause she already has her makeup also the other bridesmaid.
