Marrying the Depression Master
CH-68 to Bastian and Kinan's engagement

The night has come…

Ara was busy dressing Jack up. Ara's face looked changed like nothing before. She was not as pale as before, this woman began to talk often and smile. Although he seems chatty but it's better for Jack, it means his wife is fine.

Ara stepped back a few steps and then turned to look at Jack from top to bottom, making the man confused, why did Ara behave like that?

“Perfect! You are so perfect! My handsome husband you are ready to attend Bastian's engagement with Kinan!” exclaim Ara, excited.

The woman then walked up to Jack, tidying up his clothes again.

Jack just watched his wife's every move without saying much. His wife really treated him like a doll, but he loved every touch of his wife's hand.

“Now that I'm going to dress up, you also need a beautiful companion, right? Don't let people see you alone and think you're not married,” said Ara, patting her cheek Jack made the man grimace, why did Ara pat her cheek?

“You just wait below, later I go down,” said Ara, not forgetting a kiss landed on Jack's cheek.

Ara pressed her lips to kiss Jack's cheek gently. As Ara let go of her kiss slowly, the man turned his head towards her making Jack's face so close to Ara's, their gaze met. For a moment the eyes stared at each other. Somehow Jack's gaze made Ara restless and nervous, Arapun immediately moved away slowly after releasing her kiss.

There was something that felt different that Ara felt as Jack looked at her, the look of those eyes so sharply fixed on her, as if piercing through her heart. The man looked at her with another look. Ara increasingly realized that Jack's gaze was always focused on staring at him, even he felt Jack was too focused on staring at him. Has Jack recovered?

“Before you leave, you take medicine first,” said Ara, throwing away uncertain feelings.

Ara pulled Jack's hand out of the walk in closet, took him to sit on the sofa in the bedroom, then took Jack's medicine in the drawer.

He took some medicine for Jack, as well as a glass of drinking water, after which Ara came back to Jack.

“Come a drink, I want you to be okay on the show,” said Ara, giving medicine and drinking glasses to Jack and then standing staring at Jack.

Jack received the medicine and the drinking glass, but did not immediately pretend to drink it, because Ara did not go instead waiting for him to take medicine while looking at him.

Jack was confused, how did he dispose of the drug? It was impossible for him to take it or the effect was not good for his body because he was no longer taking the drug.

Fortunately there was a knock on the door, Arapun went to the door. Jack hurriedly stuffed the medicine into his pants pocket, then drank the water from that Ara. In a hurry, there was one medicine that he did not realize fell onto the sofa.

Ara opened the door turned out to be Mr. Beni.

“Mistress, soon we leave, get ready,” said Mr. Beni.

“Yes, soon,” replied Ara then turned to Jack.

 “Jack, have you taken the medicine?” tanya Ara approached Jack.

“You wait downstairs with Mr. Beni, I will be down soon,” said Ara, his hand outstretched holding Jack's hand to stand up and approach Mr. Beni.

“Jack is ready, he is also taking medicine, I will be down soon,” said Ara.

Beni nodded and turned to Jack.

“Mari Tuan!” take Mr. Beni, then turn his body away from the place followed by Jack.

Ara immediately dressed up, wearing a dress that was covered. This was the most beautiful dress she had never worn. Dresses are delivered from the boutique that takes care of Jack's family outfits.

In the living room, Mr.Ferdi and Mrs. Inez was waiting to sit in the living room.

“Mana Bastian, why so long?” lamented Ny. Inez.

There was a sound of steps approaching, when Mrs. Inez turns out it wasn't Bastian but Jack.

“She's coming?” ask Mr. Ferdi to see Jack coming.

“Yes, even if anyone is Jack his brother Bastian,” replied Ny. Inez.

“Huh, you start again!” mr. Ferdi grumbled, he doesn't like it if his wife shows a caring attitude towards Jack.

“Let Ara take care of it,” said Ny. Inez.

There were footsteps coming into the room again.

“You ready?” ask Ny. Inez looked at Bastian who was wearing his formal attire, his son looking very handsome today.

Inez walked over, smiling at Bastian.

“Should be without you bringing anything, Kinan can't refuse you, you're too handsome to refuse,”. Inez to her son.

“Mom could have, let's go! I don't want the Kinan family to wait too long,” said Bastian, then turned to look at Jack.

“You coming?” ask her with a face that turns sour.

“Of course, he's your brother.” Miss Inez answered.

“What if he makes a fuss? I don't want my engagement to fall apart,” complained Bastian.

“No, later his wife will take care of him,” replied Ny. Inez.

“You are looking for trouble just by inviting him,” complained Mr.Ferdi, while getting up from his seat and going out of the house.

Jack was silent to witness the rejection of his family. Though he had given money for Bastian's application fee and it turns out they did not remember it at all.

Mr. Beni just kept quiet and made no comment.

“Come fly!” said Ms. Inez.

“Eh where's your wife Jack? She's not ready?” ask Ny. Inez just realized Ara wasn't in the room.

There was the sound of rushed shoes.

“Jack! Where are you?” call Ara, appear in the room. Jack looked at the voice.

Instantly he was stunned to see the figure of the woman who appeared. His wife looks so beautiful in that dress. There was an uncomfortable feeling in Jack's heart. He should have given a dress to his wife. He never bought a jewelry gift for his wife. He felt guilty not paying attention to his wife's needs. Of course, even though all the clothing needs are available in this house, he should have given a special one to his wife. Moreover, his wife was just taking care of him and taking care of him selflessly.

“Jack!” call Ara, astonished because Jack just looked at her.

“You're beautiful,” says Jack spontaneously.

“What? I'm beautiful? You're praising me?” said Ara blushed, then he realized that Jack does not usually praise him so.

“Ah don't need to be pretty, make what? All you're with is a depressed man,” complained Bastian.

“You envy it!” gerutu Ara, immediately scowled.

Jack turned to Bastian, why did his brother ruin his wife's mood? His complaint.

“Already, let's go! You take good care of Jack, don't make a fuss!” said Ms. Inez, took a quick glance at Ara then walked out of the room.

Bastian immediately followed his mother's steps.

Ara looked at Jack.

“Come on my husband,” he said with a smile and hugged Jack's hand.

Seeing his wife's smile makes Jack feel uncomfortable, his wife always smiled at him even though he had been ridiculed for his circumstances.

Nothing was said of Jack's lips, only that his right hand touched the fingers of Ara's hand that were coiled around his arm. Ara glanced at Jack's hand which sedan rubbed his hand. Even if he raised his face slightly to look at Jack, there was another feeling in his heart, why did Jack like he was comforting him? Does Jack understand the circumstances around him?

But Arapun does not think too much, which is sure he feels happy Jack shows attention to him.

Not long after, several cars parked on the terrace left the house sliding down the highway to the building where the engagement of Bastian and Kinan was held.
