Arranged Marriage: To Hear Your Voice

Enzo was in his office and doing lots of paper works. He was counting days for Catriona to come back but then her sister went somewhere and he thought that it was emergency. But what the hell does he knows? Nothing at all.

So instead of sulking there, he want to work hard for her and for their future. He will marry her soon and ask Sabrina to void the contract. Just thinking of their wedding makes him happy at the moment. But he never know that maybe—she won’t come back to him. Ever again.

His phone chimes and it was his dear brother. He answered it cheerily.

”Hey, bro!”

”Enzo, I need your help. I got an event to attend tonight. I have to take my wife is it okay if—”

”Sure!”

”I haven’t finish yet.”

”You want me to babysit my niece and nephew? I am cool with it.”

”Okay. There will be two nannies so don’t worry. I just want someone I know to take care of my kids.”

”Not a problem at all. Since you’ve mention that I will call someone as a backup.”

”Okay.” Enzo hang up and call Gabriel. Soon, Gabriel answered it.

”Lawson.”

”Hey! Brother in law! Let’s go to Ethan’s place tonight. Get ready your armor see you there at six.”

”Why?”

”No whys! Since our women ditch us we have some time to kill tonight.” Then he hang up and finish his works.

He got out from his office whistling some song and he hop on his car and drove to his brother’s house. It’s exactly six and Gabriel arrive as well wearing casual clothing.

”So we are here to babysit?” he had guess it right. They enter the house and greet everyone. Enzo was energetic and Gabriel was just cool. Ethan came downstairs wearing a PJs without any top and carrying the five months old Ana.

”You both are too early.”

”It’s alright. So you and Aria will have time to spend together. You know what I mean.” Enzo said with winks and extend his arms. ”I wanted to hug that little princess.”

Ana is a very approachable girl. She didn’t cry when Enzo took him and she stare at him. Enzo’s heart melted on the cuteness overload. He wanted to squish her but he held himself.

”I want to have babies too.” Enzo said.

”Uhh, bro. you can’t get pregnant.” Gabriel said and check his phone. He type furiously. Enzo laugh.

”Don’t be so funny Gabriel. We men can have lot of children than women can. I am talking about our sperms.”

”Uh, I am not interested in donating to anyone. Its only meant for Brina.” Gabriel said again and Ethan roll his eyes. Then he came back with Ezekiel and Gabriel took the baby. He didn’t know how to hold him so he held him with his both hand under the baby boy’s armpit.

Ezekiel was looking at him curiously.

”Don’t stare at each other like that.” Ethan snapped. Just take him into your arms.

Gabriel did just that and hold Ezekiel’s back.

”That’s right. Soon, you’ll impregnate Sabrina. We never know. The nursery will be here.” The two men follow Ethan to the nursery just across the master’s bed room and they enjoy having the two while Ethan is probably making some time for his wife.

”If Cat get pregnant I wonder if it will be triplets.”

”Triplets are adorable, isn’t it?” Gabriel start to imagine as well while he’s playing with Ezekiel.

”Totally. That’s why we always got that compliment. In the school and everywhere.” He said. ”Sabrina was the cold type but she’s fun with not until our mother died. She got vicious. She almost killed a man who nearly raped a girl from our school. The man was from a gang—” He shook his head. ”The man was hospitalize for broken arm and legs and even his thing was broken.” He chuckle.

”H-How many times did it happen?” Gabriel wants to know more so he could understand her situation.

”Many times. Our Grandpa Ezekiel was the one who always bail her out. She didn’t get into prison—she just protect and help others with her skills. Grandpa was too doting towards her and shape her up even more.”

”It must have been hard for her.” He mutter and look at baby Ezekiel.

”It was indeed hard for her.” Enzo said. ”But everything is fine now. We can’t bring back our mother from the dead and Sabrina wants to torture every person who got involve there.”

”If your mother isn’t dead, then Sabrina wouldn’t be mute for years and wouldn’t have restrained herself?”

”Yes.” Enzo said. ”Sometimes, I pity my sister for getting traumatized and holding it on her shoulders for so long. But it makes her stronger.” Enzo let Baby Ana play with the titter.

”I want to have boys so they can protect their mother.” Gabriel said. Enzo stop.

”I and Ethan didn’t protect our mom and sister… we are useless. So I guess, if we shape up our future sons—nothing bad will happen, right?”

”We don’t know, but we have to try to protect what’s ours.” Gabriel now understand how to be a father. He wants to shape up himself more to be a better husband and a father in future.

Veronica choose the new clothes that she bought. It fit her role and he didn’t complain about it. He said that everything looks sexy on her. They have an endless love making the whole weekend since they only spent little time on shopping.

She helped him fix his tie and collar then his cufflinks. They kiss like they are a real married couple. She took her eyeglasses and put it on then her purse. She face the mirror and Tony caress her beautiful curves.

”Baby, this body makes men lust after you.” He mutter in her ear. ”So I have to drive you, okay?” The truth is Tony wants to see who Mr. Rivera is. Though he already saw his face on photos from his PI. He kisses her earlobe and nip it. She smile and hold his hand that’s holding her navel.

”Fine with me.” She wrapped her arm around him and they kiss passionately. He put the necklace with the engagement ring that he gave to her back in Maldives together with the pendant on her. She look down at it and look at him with sad eyes. ”I ca—”

”Shhh. I am willing to wait anytime. I just want to be your fiancé. That title is mine and no one can have it.”

”I’m so—”

”Hush…” He kiss her lips again and again.
