The Other Side Of Kirana

"Don't you ever put any expectation to be accepted as a part of this family!" Helena said.

Deg!

Kirana can only patient and accepted it. She did not want to argue, and remained silence. Suddenly she stopped, letting her go first.

"Kirana, come on. Why stop?" asked the grandmother.

"Y-yes, Grandma."

Kirana then continued her steps. Helena's gaze was cynical, making Kirana feel uncomfortable. But for the sake of the agreement, she had to control herself to be patient.

They were already at the dinner. Rafael sat beside Kirana. There was no communication whatsoever between Rafael and Kirana. Both chose to remain silent, fortunately the Grandmother kept on making them involve.

"How is your family at home? Healthy?" Sophia asked.

"Y-yes, Grandma. They're fine," Kirana replied, then smiled.

"Oh. Good then," said Sophia. She then moved his gaze to Rafael who was besideKirana. "Rafa, don't be so cold with Kirana. Fix your attitude. Grandma saw that you were ignoring her too much," he added.

Rafael could only nod and grumble in his heart.

"Why do I have to be kind to her, I don't like her. Ridiculous."

A few moments later, lunch was over. Rafael was asked by Sopia to company Kirana to a boutique. Rafael looked lazy to do that, but Sopia again threatened Rafael if he didn't do his comment.

Rafael was forced to follow her grandmother's request. They walked to the car parked in front of the house.

"Why don't you just get in the car," said Rafael. "Don't expect me to open the door for you," he continued curtly.

"I didn't expect it either," said Kirana, sarcastically.

"Yes, come in!" said Raphael again.

Kirana then got into the car. Then Rafael also got in beside her. After that, Rafael drove his car to the boutique.

On their way go, again they fell silent. Not because there was nothing to talk about, but because they don't want to talk. The car suddenly stopped after the red light flashed. A busker, approached his car.

Kirana quickly opened her car window. Then give the money to the busker. Kirana's actions made Rafael react.

"What are you doing? giving the money?," protested Rafael.

Kirana immediately turned to Rafael when she heard those words. "So what? Is there any problem?"

"Nope. But why the money, he's so good. Next time just ignore it," said Rafael.

"They make a living from it. You can't say that, while you've never done that yourself," said Kirana, disapprovingly of Rafael's arrogant attitude.

"It's the same, they're just lazy. They want to earn money in an easy way," said Rafael, continuing to underestimate the buskers.

"You are arrogant and don't care about other people," Kirana accused, annoyed.

"Whatever, obviously I will not be deceived by them. I will never give anything to them," said Rafael. Kirana didn't care about Rafael's principles at all.

Simultaneously, the red light turned green. Rafael immediately stepped on the gas, and drove his car to the boutique.

Kirana could only grumble in her heart. She didn't like Rafael's attitude, heis too arrogant and always acted superior.

"He thinks he is the richest man on earth?Yet there are many more beyond. But his ignorant is too much. Humans who can only rely on their parents' wealth," he muttered.

A few moments later, they arrived at the boutique. Both of them got out of the car and walked into the shop.

Both were warmly welcomed by the waiter at the boutique. However, Rafael is too ignorant to companyKirana to find a wedding dress that will be wore by them later.

"Please find the most expensive and best in this boutique," Rafael pleaded with a smug tone.

"Okay sir. You calm down. We will give our best," said the waiter.

"Yes already. Please invite this woman to find a dress that fits and matches her, "said Rafael.

The waiter immediately invited Kirana to look for her dress. They only took a step. Raphael called them. They both stopped.

"Remember. I only want the most expensive and best in this boutique, you know!" cried Raphael.

"Okay, sir. Trust us," said the waiter again.

Kirana, who had heard Rafael's arrogant tone earlier, made her hate him who would soon become her husband.

She didn't want to say anything. She just followed the direction of the servant who accompanied her. One by one the dresses were offered by the waiter with great enthusiasm.

"How about this color, ma'am?" asked the waiter.

"Sorry, Ma'am. Do you have white color?"

"Oh. Okay. I'll look for it first."

After searching for a while, the maid brought white dress to Kirana. After that, Kirana tried on the dress in fitting room. A few moments later, Kirana came out of the change of clothes.

The waiter was enchanted seeing Kirana who was wearing the dress of her choice. She shook her head, indicating her pleasure admiring the beauty of the dress attached to Kirana's body.

"Oh my, ma'am. You are very beautiful, "said the waiter.

"You are being extra now"

"I'm serious, ma'am." The waiter did say what it was. "why is your future husband so cold to you? He didn't even want to company you around looking for the right dress. Usually men are more enthusiastic when choosing a wedding dress," continued the waiter.

"It's not cold, Ma'am. But that's its nature. He was really lazy to company me to buy clothes and stuffs like that. But that's how he considerate," replied Kirana defending Rafael, even though what she said was very different from the reality.

She just didn't want to insult her husband's good name and the Haditama family, which was known as the richest and most respected family.

"Oh, I see, ma'am. It seems that he is very caring," said the waiter. "Okay, lets show him," he continued.

They then walked over to where Rafael was. The man looked directly at them. The expression that Rafael showed was very shocked seeingKirana wearing a white wedding dress. The size really fit Kirana and it increased her beauty.

"How, sir?" asked the waiter.

"It's alright," said Rafael a little nervous. The waiter knew that Rafael was mesmerized by the beauty of this woman.

"This is a limited edition dress. Only five of them are made. Quality issues, no doubt about it, because in our boutique quality is number one, "said the waiter.

"And about the price, this is the most expensive dress ever in Indonesia," she continued.

"Okay. If he likes it, I'll take this one," said Rafael.

"Okay, sir."

After that, Rafael looked at Kirana who was wearing her dress. He couldn't say anything more, other than praising Kirana's beauty in his heart.

A few moments later, after choosing a wedding dress, they prepared to leave boutique. Rafael droveKirana to his apartment again.

Arrived there, Kirana intended to get out of the car immediately. But Raphael called her, she stopped then turned to Raphael.

"I want to make one condition after we get married," said Rafael.

"What condition?"
