CHAPTER 7 "YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL"
Nadech is now scanning through all his wedding pictures with Yaya. He doesn't know what got into him but he couldn't seem to stop looking at her. Was it because of the beautiful dress on her or the make-up she wore? Whatever reason it was he secretly admit that she looked absolutely stunning.
*
Flashback*
Over the past weeks, Nadech and Yaya had no choice but to spend most of their time together planning for their wedding. Their family had refused to their idea of making a small wedding with just only closed friends and family members, and they intentionally ignored most of the work to let Nadech and Yaya get to know each other by spending more time together working on the wedding. For some reasons, they both started to enjoy each other's company as they felt that they both had so much in common. Today they have to do their wedding photo shoot and Nadech is now waiting patiently for his bride who is in the fitting room.
"The bride is ready ka….." one the staff informed him.
As soon as she got out of the room, he was astonished… and everything around him seemed to disappear leaving only her who stands there nervously looking at him… Everything about her was absolutely perfect, her sophisticated pretty face, mesmerizing eyes and not to mention her sexy curve. He couldn't even blink – it was like his eyes didn't obey his order but glued itself to focus on only her. Without realizing, his charming smile appeared on his face. She looks absolutely breathtaking… and the fact that she is his bride just really got him feel providential.
(This is how she looks)
"Hey.. What do you think? Do I look okay?" she shyly asked
He didn't hear what she was saying, eyes still focused on her, amazed by her beauty.
"I told you, you look breathtaking… see? The groom is out of breath!" the staff teased them.
Snap back to the reality, he finally said "Er… Yeah you look… very nice" it was all he could say as he didn't want to make it too obvious. Yaya just shyly smiled back at him, this staring situation just got her nervous… it wasn't a normal stare but a dangerous stare.
"You are the most gorgeous bride and handsome groom of all my customers I've served! I've worked for this place for so many years, never seen such perfect couple like you before! Congratulations to you both – and I'm sure you will make such beautiful babies." One of the staff said and they just awkwardly smiled at each other by the comment
When everything was ready, the staff guided them to the photo shooting room. Every single shot, Nadech always looked at her and he kinda took this opportunity as an advantage by embracing her and always pulling her to stay so close to him so he could smell her sweet scent. She could always felt his breath on her cheeks and noticed his arms were always around her waist touching her back. He didn't even let her go when the photographer said the photoshooting was done.
*Back to the reality*
Nadech found himself strange to keep staring at his wedding photos. This wedding is not a real wedding to him, they both don't love each other (yet) and he cannot let himself to forget that.
"Don think too much!! You're just amazed by her beauty… that's all. Nothing more." He thought to himself.
He got up from the bed and looked out through the window thinking of what to say to Davikah, should he tell her the truth or not tell her at all? What if she doesn't understand him and break up with him? He was thinking about that for a moment and finally decide not to tell her as he doesn't want her to get distracted during her final test season.. and after the divorce, he will go see her anyway… so a couple of months not telling her wouldn't be a trouble.

*The Wedding*
Time really flies, many weeks have passed already. Yaya is sitting in the hotel changing room staring at her wedding gown which is hanging on the wall. Never in her life thought about getting married in this year of age and most importantly, she's marrying a man who doesn't even like her let alone receive a romantic proposal from him as in those dreams of her. Suddenly, a knock came on her door.
"Yaya! Are you ready?"
"Yes mom! I'm almost done… please give me 5 minutes!
"Hurry up luk, all the guests are here!"
"Yes mom!"
*********************
Everyone of the family was busy greeting the guests, including Nadech. He always got caught up by the elder guests congratulating him for his big night. Now he could finally escape to grab a drink for a short period of time. Suddenly there was a tap on his shoulder, he turned around and saw an unexpected person he would see tonight.
"Dude!! How did you come here?" they exchanged their manly hug
"Well, I drove a car here. Congratulations man! I can't believe you're getting married!"
"Man, I thought you're still on your vacation in Hawaii. How could you know it's my wedding today?"
"Well, I came back since a month ago; I just didn't want to tell my parents. And how can I not know about this wedding.. it's on the front page of the newspaper! Man, your parents make it big!"
"Yeah.. Tell me about it."
"And I thought your bride would be Davikah.. what happened –
"It's an arranged marriage."
"Oh! That explains a lot cos I know your family doesn't like your girlfriend so much. And I'm sure you didn't tell your girlfriend yet right?"
Nadech let out a big sigh and nodded.
"Well, you're very lucky indeed man.. now you have a wife and a girlfriend!"
"Stop that perverted mind of yours! I'm not a playboy like you!"
"haha it's just funny that a playboy like me date only one girl at a time, and a gentlemen like you have a wife and a girlfriend at the same time.. who's the playboy now? haha"
"Shut up man!! You have no idea how miserable I am now"
"Haha relax dude! I was just joking… and don think too much! It's your big night tonight, don wear an upset look – it brings bad luck!"
"I'd feel better if you just shut up!"
"haha okay… and speaking of which, I wanna see your wife now!"
Just as soon as Mark said the last sentence, there was an announcement of the bride present.
"The bride is coming ka.."
Everyone was eyeing on Yaya who is walking down the stairs. She looks like an ice princess with her sophisticated wedding gown, she couldn't be more prettier
(This is how she looks)
"Dude.. Your wife looks so gorgeous! I wanna be in your place!"
Like last time, Nadech was focused on only her… didn't hear what Mark said
"Nadech! Nadech..! dude, you're drooling.."
"Yeah thanks.. I gotta go."
"What?"
When he made his way approaching her, he saw something really irritated him. There was a man talking to Yaya, and Yaya seemed to enjoy the conversation so much.
When he finally reached her, he placed his arms around her waist trying to let everyone knows of his presence as a groom "Hey, I was waiting for you. What took you so long?"
"Oh.. this dress was kinda hard to wear so it took a little time"
"Well, you look very beautiful today Yaya… not only today… you always look beautiful to me"
"Thank you P' Alex"
"And will you introduce me to this friend of yours?" Nadech cut it, he knows that he doesn't like this guy already
"Oh this is my friend, P' Alex. We go to the same school."
"Nice to meet you..i'm Nadech"
"Nice to meet you too.. and congratulations! You're a very lucky man."
"Thank you, please enjoy your night here. Yaya, let's go.. we have lots of guests waiting for us."
As they walked away from Alex, they went to greet the guests one by one and Nadech always put his arms around her. The guests always compliment on how perfect they are as a couple, some guests who are single even secretly jealous of this newlywed couple. So many guests they have to greet, Yaya is now kinda hurt her cheek already from smiling so much.
"Nadech, You can release me now.. I don feel comfortable with your arms around me like this"
"But we have to appear like a happy married couple.. just keep walking and smile!"
"But I can't really walk like this… you see my dress is long and with you're too close like this.. its very difficult to walk."
"okay then put your arms on mine"
The wedding goes on very smoothly, the cutting cake ceremony, giving speech on the stage to thank all the guests for their presence, and the throwing flowers ceremony. It appeared as Mint was the one who got the flowers. Now they have to take pictures with friends and relatives. Mint was being naughty and request the groom to kiss the bride for the picture.
"Kiss Kiss Kiss…!" everyone cheered up
"Er.. I don think it's a good idea—
Without letting her to finish the sentence, Nadech quickly cupped her face and kiss her on the cheek. Her eyes got widen as she was shocked by this sudden situation and the photographer just shot this priceless image of them. She was really embarrassed and now her cheeks turned to red.
"Aww… the bride is blushing!!" Mint screamed
"Are you satisfied now?" Nadech asked the cheering group
"Not yet.. that wasn't even a real kiss.."
"Mint!!" Yaya cried
"Well, I just follow the request.." he smiled at her and without waiting any longer, he cupped her face again and press his lips on hers, tasting her strawberry lipsticks.. well, there'll be no more lipstick after this. Yaya couldn't believe he really followed the request of her naughty friends and what shocked her the most was that it was her first kiss. She never thought that Nadech would be the man who steal this from her. She wanted to be mad at him as he told her before that he wouldn't touch her body but now on their wedding night he kissed her already? And what will happen next after this? She doesn't want to go further to think about it.
