SIDE STORY 1: BACHELOR PARTY - ROXANNE AND HER FRIENDS

"Hi, bride and groom!" cried Penny from outside Felix's mansion as soon as Roxanne opened the mansion door. Penny, Keesha, and Theresa have arrived in front of Felix's mansion and are waiting in the black SUV belonging to the Roxanne family to drive them off today.

"Look at that smile. surely Felix continues to give sweets to you, right. " Now, Keesha teases Roxanne, who has been smiling all the time since she left the mansion with the house servants who brought some of her traveling bags.

"Not really." Roxanne argued, brushing back her loose hair.

"Hey, miss. Don't be proud like that. You will pass it on to our future nephew." Penny replied. Keesha and Theresa laugh at that.

"How come?" Roxanne looks like she doesn't accept it.

"People say that if you hate someone, your child's face will resemble that person." said Theresa.

"That's another thing!" Roxanne said again.

Penny and her two other friends laughed. "Alright, alright. We're done with this ridiculous fight. we better hurry. We still have a long way to go. " Penny tried to intervene and embrace her friends towards the SUV driven by one of the Colin family drivers.

Dijon, Bourgogne, France.

Roxanne, Penny, Keesha and Theresa get out of the car and stretch their bodies. The trip that took 3 hours was so tiring. However, they also couldn't miss the scenic beauty along the way. Even when they look at the green vineyards, they imagine drinking some of the original wine from this city.

The four of them entered the hotel that was booked some time ago and brought their respective suitcases, then entered a room with a bed capacity for 4 people. Once they opened the large glass door, they were flabbergasted by the interior design of their hotel room. It's not that wide, but it is comfortable enough for 4 people to live in.

"Ah, this is very comfortable." Muttered Keesha as he walked around each room in their room.

"Can we just sleep, gosh. I feel like I want to sleep all day here. " this time Theresa lay down on the long sofa that looked soft.

Roxanne shook her head at Theresa's behavior, which prefers to sleep and be lazy. It could even be said that he was a "home girl" who rarely traveled if her friends didn't take her out of her fancy cage.

"Come on, girls. We have to have fun out there. " Penny tried to pull Theresa off the sofa.

Finally, after a little coercion, they managed to get out of the hotel room and boarded the SUV that would take them to their first destination.

As women, of course the first and foremost place they will visit is shopping. They will head for the Center Commercial de La Toison d'Or. Big shopping center in Dijon.

"Do we have lunch there too?" asked Keesha.

Penny, playing with her cellphone, nodded her head in response to Keesha's question. Roxanne? she was texting with Felix who was also with his friends in Chamonix. Far enough away from here.

Today is quite tiring. They had traveled to many places after lunch. They went to museums, took some group photos or selfies, and just came out of the ice skating area.

Tonight, Roxanne decides to invite them to dinner at a bar with a delicious wine drink.

"This place looks really cozy and local." Praise Keesha as soon as they arrive and enter the bar.

"Let's sit there." Roxanne invites her friends to sit beside the bar table which is not too far away.

An employee comes to their table and writes Roxanne and her friends' orders. While waiting, now Penny, Theressa, and Keesha are trying to find out when Roxanne is living together with Felix.

"So, when did you do it for the first time?" asked Theresa, playing with her eyebrows, staring at Roxanne mischievously.

Keesha and penny join in teasing Roxanne who looks shy.

"Come on, don't hide it. It's the last night we can hang out together like this. Before you became his wife. " Penny asked, begging. Despite the fact that Roxanne still hears the mischieve tone there.

Roxanne sighs and chews her lips inward.

"Well, I don't remember the exact date, but, at that time I really didn't understand why I could just convey my feelings to Felix after Felix told me a few things. At first, we were just talking - the two of us - and I said what I felt so far. You know, at that time my heart felt very relieved. Ah, I just can't describe it anymore. And the night, well, just happened. " Roxanne explained, holding back her embarrassment.

"You didn't even think about wearing safety?" asked Keesha.

Roxanne shook her head. "I just asked him not to hold it anymore. Because I knew Felix wanted me so badly at the time. " Roxanne grins.

"Oh, I'm regretting myself to ask if you answered like that." grumbled Keesha. Theresa and penny laughed.

"How many times have you done it?" now Theresa asked.

"I never counted them."

"Where have you been doing it?" she asked again.

"I always ask not to be outside the room."

Theresa, Keesha, and Penny all say oh-so-love with their amazed faces. Roxanne has no idea what they are amazed by. Is Roxanne too relaxed when she answers?

"Where are you going on your honeymoon, by the way?" asked the penny.

Roxanne shrugs her shoulders. "I have no idea. I've never asked about that. Felix is ​​always full of surprises. Nor did he say anything about our marriage. " Roxanne replied.

"If I were you, it looks like my heart wouldn't be that strong." Keesha jokes.

Roxanne laughed followed by Theresa and penny. "I almost feel it." Roxanne replied. "Even then, I didn't think Felix would give me a Christmas gift in the form of a wedding. And he planned it with our parents. I felt like a fool that time. " Roxanne continues, chuckling.

"You didn't even suspect that when Felix kept playing on his cellphone and laptop? You can never read people's gestures, can you? " Roxanne shook her head in response to Theresa's quip question.

"Then it's an advantage for Felix." Theresa continued.

Penny laughed. "You know, even when we first met Felix when we were at the supermarket, I could immediately guess that this guy was interested in Anne. But, I'm sure you guys will really want to grab Roxanne's hair when you see the reaction she gives to Felix. " penny shook her head, remembering her first meeting with Felix at that time.

"Hey, it's because I'm putting up a defense for myself." Roxanne tries to defend herself.

The four women's orders came before they continued their chat. Roxanne raises a glass of wine and toasts her friends.

"For our newlyweds, the bride, roxanne." said penny.

Roxanne smiles emotionally.

"For our newlyweds, the bride, Roxanne." replied Theresa and Keesha repeating penny.

"We pray for the smooth running of your marriage and your happiness always, Anne." Penny continued before they took a sip of the thick purple liquid.

Keesha put down her glass, looked at Roxanne with a smile. "You know, I'm so glad you finally have a man who loves - loves you to death. I know that, don't argue anymore. He never even stopped trying to get your heart. You're very lucky to get it, Anne. I'm sure your son will grow up well in your little womb. He will be born with good looks. Oh, I can imagine it. " Keesha imagines how adorable Roxanne's child will be. "I hope you are always happy, Anne." Keesha continued, grasping the back of Roxanne's hand.

"We always support you. As they say, a good woman will get a good man. Well, you are. " Theresa continued with emotion.

"I don't know what to say. The point is, we are very happy for your wedding - and of course the little one who is still in your womb. Ohhh, I can't wait to see him born into this world. " Penny rubs Roxanne's stomach.

Roxanne laughed. "It's still take a long time, Penny. Thank you for being my friends and always supporting me. I'm very lucky to have you all." Roxanne replied in a trembling voice.

"Please don't cry. I don't want to see tissue wet with tears. I really hate it. We should have fun, okay?" Keesha tries to make things less mellow.

It works. Because after that, his three friends laughed and went back to talking about jokes. They were actually using the night to have fun before Roxanne's wedding.

Once again, Roxanne is very grateful to have friends like them.
