The Price of Sainthood

The Price of Sainthood
The real marriage yuk


Dante POV


I tightened my jaw after cutting off the phone. Upset, because Papa called me just to remind me of the fitting.


It was a waste of effort I made to avoid. Starting from waking up in the morning blind, stuck in traffic on the way to Papa's office, until having to call Lara to cancel the plan.


However, after everything went well and I thought I could calm down, the problem came back until I was here now.


A woman greeted me kindly as soon as the boutique door opened. I only responded with a small nod and a thin smile as a form of politeness. My eyes circled around. Non-rigid. Maybe Lara was inside, trying on her choice of dress.


Immediately Aunt Selena appeared and greeted me with her signature elegant style. He grabbed my finger and led me into a room.


"Hi, Boy! You came too apparently. Aunty's happy, once. Aunty was almost desperate because there was no male model to try on your engagement suit."


"I'm sorry that I made Aunty almost desperate" I said, pretending to be unwell.


"Not what, Handsome. What matters is that you've come. Oh yeah, look at your future fiancee's dress. Beautiful, right?" Aunt Selena pointed at the clothes a girl was wearing. The girl stood back to us. Maybe it was Lara. I just took a quick look at her and looked back at Aunt Selena.


"I believe. Aunty's dress is pretty, too" I said in praise. Really, it's from the heart. Aunt Selena's dress is beyond doubt. He is a famous designer in Indonesia who has jumped into the foreign market. Not a few artists who use their clothes for big events.


Hearing my praise, the model-bodied woman chuckled while patting my shoulder softly. "Ah, you could have. Wait, yeah, handsome. Aunty get me your suit stellan."


I nodded small. A soft sofa embedded not far from there became my choice to anchor the butt. I sat there waiting for Aunt Selena. I also pulled out my phone to just reply to a message. One of them is Papa's message that continues to urge me to come. I'll send you a photo of Lara's back. Let him be satisfied.


Lara? Tumben once was a calm boy. It's not usually like this. He hasn't seen her since I came. Ah but bodo is very, it is. I do care.


Aunt Selena appeared with a silver suit in her hand. That's a suit for me. To try on a suit that's why I came here.


Aunt Selena apologized to me for making me wait. He looks bad. I responded with Santuy.


There was a surprising fact that I later found out. Apparently Lara was not here and ordered someone to represent her.


It's so rude, isn't it. Fitting clothes alone he was very brave to send a representative. Why not just at the engagement? Honestly, I'm furious. I did not love him, but this was clearly an act of disdain. It's fitting that the girl didn't greet me, it turns out she wasn't Lara.


At first I didn't care about anyone who was willing to be Lara's replacement. However, after Aunt Selena forced me to look at the details of her design dress, inevitably my gaze was directed at the figure of the bright-skinned girl.


From behind, his posture looked like someone. But I don't know who. I'm lazy to guess. However, suddenly Aunt Selena mentioned one name, and I was made to turn my back on it.


"Alisha."


Aisha? Is that really Alisha? I watched him closely. More precisely waiting for him to turn around so that he can see his face. However, the girl was still unmoved, so Aunt Selena had to call him once more.


"Alisha. Try turning around, honey. Dante wants to see the front of the dress you're wearing."


I waited for him with my heart pounding. Alisha who is Aunt Selena referring to? Could it be Alisha?


Furthermore, the running time felt sluggish. I'm getting impatient, but trying to stay calm. I saw the girl's back move slowly, probably breathing a long sigh. Soon her hands began to lift up the dress, and I began to count down. Three ... two .. one.


The girl actually turned around. And I was flabbergasted too. She's not the Alisha I know. However, she was the goddess of heaven who came down to earth and became a woman. I am even sure, when I created him, God did it with all his heart until the result was as beautiful as this.


The next moment the world stopped spinning. Only the figure in the white dress was visible in my eyes. Aunt Selena's words are just like a hum that I can't get to the brain. Because my world is focused on one point. The owner of the beautiful face, and the owner was smiling shyly like the full moon.


As soon as I understood a wise word that read, 'Always be kind to anything, because it could be, something you don't like that's best for you.' Just like I am. Something I avoided turned out to be the hope I always had.


***


Dante fiddled himself in front of the mirror after his fiancee's suit stellan was embedded in the body. As usual, he always looks beautiful, flawless and without flaws. It's just a moment ago he failed to master himself because his eyes were only fixed on the substitute figure of the real fiancee.


Damnit. He cursed in the heart. If only Alisha had not been a temporary model to replace Lara.


"Dante. You done, Handsome?"


Dante turned to the curtain, then answered half-tightly. "Already, Aunty."


"Let's dong out. Aunty wants to see."


Dante did not answer with the word. He opened the curtains and showed his appearance.


Selena's eyes sparkled in admiration. Not just Selena, but another figure standing behind Selena. Alisha. The girl was momentarily stunned, then hurriedly threw away her face when she was caught by Dante stealing a glance at her.


"You're so brave, honey. You're getting good-looking," praised Selena. The woman then pulls Alisha's hand to pair with Dante. Suddenly, his smile grew and he saw both of them. "You're a really compatible couple. You look like a real bride going up to the mop."


"Aamiin," said Dimas unconsciously who made Alisha turn her back. The girl looked at Dante with an expression of disbelief, and instantly made the young man realize it.


At that time Dante's mind was endlessly self-cursing. It is possible that the release agrees with Selena's words. Really yeah. Where'd you put the shame face?


However, Dante is not his name if he cannot master the situation. It's getting stifled. Alisha had heard clearly how she had secured him. So, only the words ketus is a powerful weapon that can dismiss the thought of Alisha.


"Ish, who's seen you!" ketus Alisha. "There should also be me! What did you say aamiin? Really pissing again."


Tuh.


"Heh, what's because wearing a fancy dress kek gini lo so big head? Until the ears come senewen too? I said it was amit-amit, kali. What about aamiin, hey?"


Alisha turns away not accepting. The reason Dante was impressed. He felt his hearing was still very good. It was impossible to hear wrong. Except, it was Dante who reasoned to cover up his embarrassment.


To be honest Alisha wants to fight Dante's charges. He did not accept if the young man turned the facts around. In order to appreciate himself and Aunt Selena who was very good, he chose to give up and swallow back the swear sentence for Dante raw.


Alisha chooses to leave Dante after a shrill grunt. He sat on a couch playing with his cell phone. Selena herself has gone to prepare a camera to capture the appearance of both. Strange indeed, considering that Alisha and Dante are not a real couple. But how else. Again Alisha and Dante were powerless to resist.


From a distance, Dante looks at Alisha silently with admiration. The girl actually looked dozens of times prettier than usual. That's a fact he can't deny. Details of Swarovski sequins and diamonds that make the dress sparkle under the light further add to the beauty of Alisha more plenary.


Dante stuttered when caught by Alisha was watching him one day. And again the young man put on a ketus face to cover up his embarrassment. Alisha will not lose. He managed to threaten Dante through a pair of scissors that were lying on the table.


The young man understood what Alisha meant. He widened his eyes as a form of counter threat. Alisha who did not want to lose just smiled cunningly while shaking her head. The pointy end of the scissors she pointed at the dress she was wearing. As he wished, Dante was panicked by his mischievous actions.


Dante finally approaches Alisha after making sure there is no one among them. It's nothing, just watch. Dante who was close to moving swiftly caught Alisha's wrist.


"Don't fuck around" he warned.


"Wild. Who told people to slander. It's good I want to help your future fiancee, uh even yours is it to me." Alisha grumbling.


"What do you want?" dante asked without letting go of Alisha's hand.


Alisha silently looked at Dante who was bowing in front of her. Just for a moment, because if for a long time he is not strong. Hurriedly he lowered his head and then shook his head.


"Cock-knuckle? What do you want, heum?" This time Dante's tone softened a little. My lo name even changed to me being you.


Alisha looked in wonder at Dante who was now crouching in front of her. Either this was true or his eyes were misjudging. Dante's gaze radiated warmth. The same look as that time. A time where they were always both going nowhere. The time he has always missed so far.


"Nothing is." That was Alisha's answer. Without looking face.


"Related?"


"Hem."


"But your eyes say no."


Alisha looked up and found Dante's lips smiling. Oh, my God, he's fascinated, but he can't forget either. Dante belongs to people, and himself is a future brother-in-law.


Oh yes, mumpung Dante urgently, it seems there is no harm if he tells the truth. He must, however, end this unimportant tension. They will be brothers.


"Dante," said Alisha.


"Yes." Yeah."


"Do you really want to know what I want?"


"Yes. Say."


"Dante, since we met for the second time, why have you changed your attitude to me?"


"How do you change?" Dante asked as if nothing had happened.


"You're getting cold. Grumpy. I don't know you."


"Continue?"


"Cock continues?" Alisha put on an annoyed face. "Here I want to ask, what is my fault? You mad? You pissed? Is it my fault I'm not forgiven?"


"Not so, Al."


"Keep what?"


Dante was speechless with a fixed look on Alisha's clear iris. Should he say that Alisha was a sword that broke her heart? Should he say if this piece of meat in the chest cavity is seriously injured and there is no cure?


"Dante .. We haven't known him for a long time. But I know what your character is. You are actually kind, and understanding. I want us to kayak first again, Dante. Soon we become brothers-in-law, and certainly meet more often. I don't want us to be hostile to Dante, I want us to be better. Plis, I want to."


"But I want us to not just be brothers. How's dong?"


"Not just a brother? Meanin?" Alisha's forehead is cluttered with incomprehension. However, a request that Dante made next, successfully made him turn his back because it did not make sense. He even thought his ears were hearing wrong.


"We're actually marrying yuk. You want to be my wife?"
