"Ok, Mina, see you...." Auntie Rani replied when both of them had gone downstairs.
At this time, Airyn was in the car with Auntie Mina and the driver. She would rather use a separate car from her parents and younger sister.
"Auntie, what is married life like?" Airyn asked while lowering her head. Auntie Mina turned to Airyn and grabbed her hand before finally responding.
"For me, it's like two people who are united in a marriage bond. Usually, those who are married will wish for a happiness that's more than just having an ordinary relationship or what children today say dating. Frankly, when I got married, I also wished for such happiness. And, now I've got all the happiness I wished for. My happiness is to be loved and cared for wholeheartedly by my husband, and so should he. Furthermore, after getting married, women will feel like having a child who comes out of our own womb. And it's such a blessing or a gift that God gave to me," Auntie Mina explained meticulously.
"Could I get such happiness?" Airyn asked softly.
"Sure. Please keep in mind my words, Miss. Love and affection will grow as you get used to it. I know that you're going to marry Young Master Zavier due to an arranged marriage, but I'm sure that you and him will get the happiness that you've dreamed of all this time. Maybe later after marriage, you'll go through some difficult and bitter times for the first few months, but trust me... the impossible will become possible in a marriage. For example, you and Young Master Zavier. You don't love each other, but over time… you'll definitely become a perfect match who love each other. And you'll be the happiest family together with your children in the future." Auntie Mina tried to encourage her.
"Thank you, Auntie. Please pray for me... so I can deal with all the problems far ahead...." Airyn said with tears that she could no longer hold back.
"Sure. I'll always pray for you, Miss...." Auntie Mina replied and then gave Airyn a sympathetic pat on her shoulder.

On the other hand, Zavier was currently in a room of certain hotel. He and his family left earlier than the Airyn family. In the room, he was quietly memorizing the sentence he will say at the wedding ceremony tomorrow. Only this time, this Zavier Avrilliant Lyorn seemed uneasy and nervous. He used to do things quietly, but this time he looked really solemn. And when he was trying to memorize for the third time, suddenly someone knocked on the door.
"Zavier... it's me Revan ... we're told to go to the lobby. They said that your bride has arrived." Revan called from outside.
"…." Without responding to his older brother, Zavier put the piece of paper he was holding back into his backpack and immediately left the room.
"Swear, I'm really curious about your bride... is she beautiful?" Revan asked curiously when he and Zavier went downstair to the lobby.
"...." As there was no more response from Zavier, Revan was stupefied by sharp glare that his younger brother gave, which immediately shut his mouth and made him dared not to speak anymore.
"Ah Zavier, please take the Airyn to her room," said Rainer when Zavier and Revan arrived in the lobby.
"Yes, Dad." Zavier responded and then went back upstairs to escort Airyn who was currently following him behind.
"T—thank you, s—sorry for the trouble," said Airyn by lowering her head.
"No worries." Zavier replied and then went back into his room next to Airyn's.
'Ah, we even have adjoining rooms?' Airyn said to herself before going into her room.
'Airyn POV.
At this time, as the sun began to go down, I stepped my feet to the balcony of my room and watched the sunset. But when I rested my hand on the railing, I accidentally saw Zavier who was currently staring at the sky on his balcony to my left. And in a brief time, he suddenly turned his head at me for a long time. I was worried when his eyes were looking at me sharply. I thought he might hate me for forcefully marrying me. I swiftly looked away as his cellphone rang, and he answered the call without going inside.
"Let's get out," he said after hanging up the phone and went inside his room. When I was still digesting what he just said, suddenly someone knocked on my door.
"Hang on," I responded and quickly opened the door.
"Eh, what's going on?" I asked bewilderedly as Zavier was standing in front of my room.
"My parents told me to pick you up," he replied and then pulled my wrist slowly. I managed to close the door with my loose hand.
"Where are we going?" I asked him when we were already in his car.
"Have some meal," he replied shortly and then started driving.
Author POV.
Once arriving in front of the restaurant, Zavier parked his car in the parking lot and got out with Airyn. They just entered the restaurant and found their families who were waiting for them in one of the VVIP rooms.
"Ah, the bride and the groom have finally arrived," said Zivanna, giving her sweet smile to her son and future daughter-in-law.
"Come on, sit down first," Rainer chimed in with a grin. Airyn and Zavier sat down, and shortly the waitress brought various kinds of dishes for their dinner. At the moment, the sky was already dark as Zavier and Airyn had a quite long way to come here. And without waiting any longer, they all started to enjoy the dishes.
"Okay kids, you two must go back to the hotel now as it's getting late. Besides, you should have some rest right away because tomorrow will be the happiest moment for you," Giovani suggested once they all had finished their dinners.
"Ok, Dad," Airyn replied, giving a slight glance at Zavier.
"Excuse us." Zavier abruptly got up from his chair and walked out of the restaurant with Airyn following him behind.
Once they got to the hotel, they went straight into their own rooms without saying anything. At the moment, they were preparing themselves and were urged to have enough sleep for most precious moment in the next day. In the meantime, their families were still discussing some matters in the restaurant, except for Leona and Revan who were not seen there.
