Chapter 144 - Fiancee (2) (1/2)
If they had children, there was no doubt who would be the person to tell the bedtime stories to them. But now while waiting for babies. The man himself wanted to listen to some interesting stories. Stefan smiled handsomely to the narrator and lecturer.
Wirata could not help but bent down to kiss on his forehead. He was so cute. But she would not say the word 'CUTE' to his ears. She knew he was not a big fan of this word.
”The opportunity to be born as a human is extremely difficult. That opportunity is as a parable of a blind turtle in a big ocean. He dives deep under the water. Every one hundred years the blind turtle will pop his head up to the surface once.”
”Only once in a hundred years?” The voice inserted with curiosity.
”Yes. And in this ocean, there is one small floating rubber ring. Its size is only a little bigger than the turtle's head.”
”Who puts it there? Why can't they give the turtle a bigger one?”
The listener was seeing the picture in his mind.
”Just listen and don't interrupt.”
The storyteller gave a warning. So the listener shut his mouth immediately and nodded.
”How much possibility for the blind turtle to pop his head up to fit exactly into the rubber ring can you imagine? But however, the chance is still more than one soul to be born as a human being.”
”Really? Is that hard?”
Stefan asked with surprise in his tone. He had never heard a story like this before.
”Yes. It's extremely hard. You are very lucky to be born as a human being. Therefore, you should love your life and take the best care of yourself. We don't know how long we are going to live. Any day could be our last day. So we should cherish every minute of it and try our best to be good human beings. Be thankful for the opportunity we have been given to come here on earth to learn the most wonderful experience for our souls.”
”In the past life, you must have been a nun.” he teased her and smiling.
”If you talk to my mother, you will be preached until your soul is clean. ”
She said and smiled at him. Stefan would not tell her that he had already been preached by her mother.
”I understand what you are trying to say. From now on, I will be careful and take care of my life because I am not on my own anymore. I have you, the person I love more than my life. I want to live a long life with you. Will you marry me, Wine?
He popped the question and she did not prepare for that. They had just understood each other an hour ago.
”Do you want to marry me?” she sounded surprised. Stefan looked at her.
”Yes, of course. What's wrong with you, Wine? I love you. I want to be with you forever. I want to bind you to me as soon as possible. Society rule says that marriage is the way I can own you forever. So, I want to marry you tomorrow. ”
It was Stefan's turn to give a long speech.
Wirata could not help but smiled and shook her head to hear the man giving an order. Stefan Mackenzie was back now.
”Why shook your head? Won't you marry me? ”
”I shook my head to your marriage proposal.”
”Why? Is it not as romantic as you dreamed to hear? Well, it is the true feeling from my heart. All my feeling I have for you. Will you marry me? Tomorrow?”
He asked again. His face started to get sulky.
Wirata smiled broadly. What could she do with him? The man who was good at demanding. She looked at him and sighed softly.
”I want to marry you tomorrow. ”
She replied. That brought a big delighted smile to his handsome face.
”Then let's do it.”
Stefan hurried to say.
”But...”
”There is no BUT! I hate But!”
He said immediately.
Wirata bent down to kiss on his cheeks.
”Please marry me, Wine.”
He begged and pulled her face to kiss on her mouth for a moment. Wirata let him kiss her until he satisfied.
”We could do that if we have only two of us. But don't forget that you have parents. You are the eldest son. Your father has already found a woman for you. ”
The soft voice said to remind him. Stefan frowned suddenly.
”Why did you keep saying this? Do you mean Melissa? ”
He asked with his eyebrows knotted together.
”Yes.”
Wirata answered. She loved him and she would not be in his life just to serve her happiness. He was the man with responsibilities and he had to carry his family name and legacy. If she wanted to be with him. She would not drag him down but she would raise herself up to match him.
”Because my father still doesn't know you. I believe if he knows you, he will like you surely. Next month he will come to Las Vegas. There will be a party at the company I will introduce you to him. ”
Stefan said with confidence in his belief. Wirata was very special. She could charm a bird out of a tree if she wanted to. His mother had already been fascinated by her. Sam was her close friend. His father was tough and decisive, according to the characteristics of a man who was a leader throughout his life. But probably not beyond the ability of Wirata to win him. Stefan believed in her completely.
”If he doesn't like me?”
She asked.
”I don't care.”
Stefan answered immediately. And his voice meant what he just said. He did not give a damn.
