BAIDER (ENGLISH VERSION)

ANMELA ERIS’ POV

“Long live the Newly Weds!”

The Baider raised their glasses and tossed them in the air, above their heads while their arms were stretched. “Long live!” They happily gulped down the contents of their glasses.

I felt Laurent touch my waist. He was so handsome in his black groom suit with a white polo under it. I could clearly see the wide grin on his lips. He bent down to give me a kiss on the belly.

Seems like he loves our son even more, huh? I feel jealous.

“Eat up.” He put his arm at my shoulder and kissed me on my forehead.

I was just looking at the Baider who were now having fun, giggling, and making noise as if this was the first time they had this kind of occasion.

Are they always like that? It was good in the eyes.

Far from how I met them the first day I saw them. Laurent left for a moment to get some food.

While watching the visitors and the Baider laughing to gather, my peripheral vision saw Resttan approaching.

“Congrats!” He gave me a full teeth smile. He was truly happy, but I could see that there was something on the spark in his eyes. He was holding a glass of champagne. He was one of the attractive men at the venue. His coolness with his long height could grab the attention of everyone, even me.

“Thank you,” I also smiled in response.

“It’s good you’re not insulting me anymore.”

“Why would I do that? It’s my day,” I held the glass of alcohol in his hand. “Don’t drink too much. It’s not your wedding so don’t be so glad.” I was just teasing him.

He chuckled a bit. “Fine, Mrs. Baider.” He fixed his hair and continued talking. “By the way, Don’t tell them I let you escape at Patunay, even to Laurent. It’s a secret.” He wicked at me, using his charm. I just nodded, agreeing to him. He saved the both of us, if it was not because of him, I might die in that hole if one of them saw me.

“I hope I’ll find my own kind of Anmela.” He looked away while having a frustrated sigh.

“Don’t play with the girls you’ll see him.”

He turned to me in surprise. “How? If my heart is really beating for you?”

I stared at him with confusion on my face. He shrugged, making me ignore what he said. “Maybe it was Laurent’s plan to take care of you during those days.”

“Why?”

“So that I can get close to you and not be able to kill you. I’m one of those he fears because I seriously kill but because of you,” he stopped and looked at me with mixed emotion in his eyes. “I was able to disobey. Actually, it’s not a big deal if I kill you or not what’s matter is…I’d lost my responsibilities as one of the Baider’s family.”

“You have a purpose, Resttan.”

“Yeah.” He moved his head from up and down. “Having you is great, especially when it taught me how to…” He paused, cleared the block in his throat, “Love. How does it feel”, how to be truly happy. You know being Baider is a curse.”

“| And honor,” I added to what he was saying. I held his hand and then pitched it in a gentle way. “It’s an honor, Resttan. You’re lucky to have this family. Even if you can’t find your great love, you still have a love for the family. No matter what kind of love is it…it still called love.”

I watched the formation of a wide handsome grin on his lips. I showed him how grateful I was that I had him in my life “I love you, Anmela.” He paused and chuckled cutely with his red cheek. “Maybe I really loved you.” There was sarcasm in his tone. I could not predict what was real or fake. “Forget about that. I just want to spell.” He moved closer to me, it was just an inch away from our face. I was stunned when he kissed me on the forehead. “From Resttan.”

After that, he did not hesitate to turn his back on me and then walked away. I just watched him.

In fact, it was natural because he did things that were uncommon to him. That was his first time, taking care of a woman with intimacy involved. He did what Laurent ordered. I appreciate what he did for my son and me.

In just a second, I chased him and grabbed his arm. “Resttan…thank you.” I tiptoed, raised my arms, and hugged him tightly with all my heart. At first, I felt that he froze and when he recovered, he hugged me back, rested his face on my shoulder.

“Ahem.” I smiled when I heard Laurent was faking, clearing his throat. He came over and held my waist, pulling me gently away from Resttan.

“Hey! Patunay is done, I didn’t order you to hug my wife.” The annoyance was obvious in his tone and expression of face.

The Baider laughed at him while watching his furrowed eyebrow, staring at Resttan with the fire in his eyes.

“Baby boy is jealous,” Leroi teased.

“Absolutely! Where will you find the expensive Anmela? She’s just alone in the entire universe!” Cristoph said laughing, raising the bottle of alcohol. He was completely drunk.

“Congrats to Anmela, she captured the rudest, wildest, and furrow eyebrow member of Baider,” Lucio joked loudly as he lifted his glass.

“Shut up!” Laurent was annoyed, I already saw the knit on his eyebrow, his eyes were sharp.

“Cheers!” They raised the glass and then gulped the wine before laughing. “Cheers for the age that continues to increase year by year but still can’t find true love!” Leroi shouted naughtily as he looked one by one at those old singles. The lunatics Baider repeated that.

Suddenly, Mom and Dad hugged me tightly. They were crying with all the joy they had in their hearts, especially since they would have a grandchild.

It was a fun night, full of laughter, jokes, and stories.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
