Chapter 3

• Our wedding preparation happened so fast. I can’t believe that they can finish all the things needed for the wedding in 3 months.
• If you look at how grand our wedding is, you’ll think that the preparation took more than a year to achieve this kind of wedding.
• Today is my wedding day, but unlike the other bride, I felt nothing. I don’t feel nervous nor excited.
• I just look emotionless as the makeup artist does my makeup.
• “You know what? From all the bride that I handled, you are the only one who looks emotionless.” My makeup artist said.
• I just smile at her.
• She sighed. “You should be jumping with joy right now! My gosh! You are marrying Andrew Maru Ottave! You don’t know how lucky you are!”
• I just raised my brow. “So what?”
• Her jaw dropped with disbelief.
• I can't blame her, I knew that Maru is one of the hottest guys on earth. Plus he's a freaking billionaire. What more can you ask for?
• But I don't know, I felt nothing. I know he's a great guy.
• After our café date, we start going out for 3 months to get to know more about each other.
• And I can say that he can be a good friend to me. Just friends, I can’t go beyond that. Maybe because I know that he loves someone else.
• I feel sad about their relationship. I found out that after our family dinner he broke up with Jana. Even though I told him that it is okay for me if they want to continue their relationship even after we got married.
• But Maru did not agree with that idea. As per him, Jana did not deserve to be a mistress and I agree.
• The wedding will start in a few minutes.
• I went out of our house and ride our limousine. With me is Yelle, my best friend.
• “Girl this is it! You are finally getting married!” She said, teary-eyed.
• I just smile.
• She softly hit me. “OMG Mara! I can’t see any emotion in you! I don’t know if you are nervous or happy! Look at me?! I’m already teary-eyed because you are getting married while you?! Emotionless girl!”
• I sighed. “What do you want me to do? I don’t feel anything right now!” I said in frustration.
• “You know what? I’m almost convinced that your heart is made of stone.” She commented.
• I just shrugged.
• “But be honest with me Mara, are you sure that you don’t have feelings for Maru? I mean OMG! That's Maru!!! He’s so freaking hot! I can’t believe that you are not attracted to him.” She asked me curiously.
• I let myself think about him.
• “Well... Maru is handsome, I must admit. Plus he is a gentleman, I didn’t expect that he also has a sense of humor, and he’s fun to be with.”
• I didn’t notice that I am smiling while describing him.
• “OMG friend!” Yelle teased me.
• “Stop that! You’re acting crazy again.” I said while chuckling.
• She hugs me. “I’m just happy because I prove to myself that my friend is not made of stone. You have a heart finally! And I didn’t expect to see you blush.”
• My forehead furrowed. “Blush?”
• She nodded and smile teasingly. “Oh yes, my friend. If you can only see yourself while you are describing him, you will see how much you admire him and... blushing.”
• I thought to myself. ‘Did I blush? Does that mean that I felt something for him?’
• The limousine stops.
• “Girl we are finally here!” Yelle happily announces.
• I look outside and I saw people getting ready for the wedding.
• “Are you ready to be Mrs. Ottave, my friend?” Yelle ask me while feeling giddy.
• I just gave her a forced smile.
• I felt my heartbeat fast. ‘Why did I suddenly feel nervous?’
