A Little Hope For Ashma
18. About the marriage relationship

Ashma found herself in the mirror while noticing the red rashes on her body, while Ashma was made very embarrassed to remember last night watching Adam who was so wild.

It was unexpected that her first mission had instantly succeeded, and she was so happy to be able to become a full-fledged wife now.

Adam, the man last night made him stay up all night because they can only sleep at three in the morning, Adam's stamina really makes Ashma overwhelmed.

"Ashw.." ringis Ashma felt the linu around his feet.

"It hurts so much" Ashma muttered as she tried to limp toward her wardrobe.

Ashma immediately put on her clothes and intends to go downstairs to prepare breakfast for Adam and Aunt Marianee.

Adam went into his room and found Ashma drying his hair.

Adam brought a tray of food and put it on the table. Ashma immediately turned her head and sighed heavily, it seemed like Ashma was really soy sauce so woke up late and could not make breakfast for Adam and aunt Marianee.

"I'm sorry Adam woke up so late" Ashma said.

Adam approaches Ashma and grabs a hairdryer in Ashma's hand to help dry Ashma's still wet hair.

"No need to apologize. It's all my work, sorry you had to stay up until the early hours,"

Ashma shook her head softly with a face that met, "i hope you who do not regret Adam."

Frankly, Adam felt guilty for breaking his promise not to touch Ashma but what can be done if his body even betrayed him. Adam could not deny that Ashma was indeed fascinating, so as not to know why it was difficult for Adam to dampen his burning desire.

"I'm the one who should have asked like that, are you sorry Ashma? I did it anyway because you teased me."

Adam's words incised pain in Ashma's heart, why the man kept evading, but last night Adam wanted so badly for himself that they did it consciously without any coercion. Also, if Ashma's first mission fails, he can try it the next day.

"I will never regret, after all If I tempt you also will not sin, which there can even be a reward," explained Ashma very confident to make Adam stunned for a while.

"As far as you are." Adam's voice was that short without arguing with Ashma again.

...•••...

The days passed so quickly, it did not feel that Ashma and Adam's marriage had been running for a month. There is no significant change between the two, but Ashma continues to fight for her marriage.

Although sometimes Adam is sweet and gives more attention to him does not deny that Ashma is increasingly confused with their relationship that will be taken somewhere.

Ashma also feels that she does not yet have feelings for Adam although Ashma always tries to love Adam her tastes are increasingly pessimistic considering that Adam's changing attitude is sometimes sweet, sweet, or cold even indifferent.

Ashma had already sighed a few times, she was still waiting for the arrival of her husband who had not been home for a week. Ashma always waits even though she does not know whether Adam will come home or not, it is only natural that Ashma is very anxious how much Adam is her husband.

Moreover, Adam always came home with bloody clothes because he always carried the wounds on his body, it made Ashma even more afraid considering the work of her husband is very dangerous.

The time that has shown at one in the morning makes her eyes feel heavy and very sleepy, Ashma lay her body on the sofa while continuing to wait for her husband who has not been certain to go home.

But soon after, the sound of a car engine and a fence that opened, Ashma opened her eyes again.

"Adam..." He muttered unnoticed.

Ashma immediately opened the door and the first time she saw was Adam's tired face. Ashma breathed with relief because this time Adam did not come home with blood always stuck to his shirt.

Adam brought his weary body to the mansion followed by Ashma.

Adam put himself to sit on the sofa, sighing in relief while leaning his head on the sofa pedestal.

Ashma immediately conveys her anxiety, although on the other hand she is relieved at the arrival of her husband but it is undeniable that Ashma still wants clarity from Adam about his dangerous work.

"I'm always worried about Adam" Ashma said the same thing every time Adam came home from work.

"Every time you find you come home injured" continued Ashma. Adam's face looks expressionless, cold and flat as usual when Ashma says it over and over.

Ashma understood that, but she did not get clarity from her marriage. Ashma several times always trying to fulfill his role as a wife also struggled to maintain their relationship which was started from the beginning with obscurity.

"How long have you considered me what Adam was? Am I just your show wife that you deliberately married because of your mistakes and sense of responsibility huh?" Ashma began to get carried away by emotions.

Adam tightened his jaw on hearing Ashma's words, had just returned home but his wife was already willing to make a fuss.

"Ashma can't argue just this once? I beg you."

Ashma threw her face away in annoyance, with no intention of opening her voice again she immediately went upstairs to prepare some warm water.

Adam massaged his temple followed by a faint feeling that plagues his heart, swooping down Ashma's back further up the stairs.

A few moments Adam rested his body on the sofa immediately he got up to go to his room.

In Adam's room found Ashma who had been lying on the bed he had also fallen asleep, it seemed like Ashma was exhausted. Fragrance was also often waiting until late sometimes when Adam came home early in the morning he found Ashma asleep in the main room sofa.

Adam immediately confirmed Ashma's position so that he could fall asleep comfortably. For a moment Adam was silent while sitting next to his wife. Adam looked at Ashma who was asleep, his hands also stroked the face of Ashma is very charming.

"To be honest I miss you so much, every day when I'm not in the mansion or looking at your face I feel tormented."

"After the night that we did it, I couldn't deny feeling depressed if I wasn't by your side. For some reason I am afraid of this feeling, on the other hand you always remind me of Lily, I am just annoyed if indeed it is a form of impingement to you I have really made a mistake, but I never made you like anyone else, you're Ashma."

Adam thought softly, he was afraid that if he continued to obey his heart Adam would only shackle Ashma and make himself more in danger with Adam, Adam, so Adam always refused to open his heart again, he would never love anyone else but Lily.

Ashma had actually not fallen asleep and deliberately laid her body on the bed and pretended to close her eyes. Ashma did not expect Adam would come to her and stroked her cheeks until the comfort dissolved making Ashma really sleepy and finally she fell asleep.

"Lord, why did you bring this woman to me?" Adam murmured who was not yet willing to move from Ashma's side.

...•••...

Time went by so fast that the morning greeted them again. As now in the middle of the dining room, with only the sound of the clanking of spoons and forks dominating the silence that ruled over them.

Aunt Marianee who was there could only sigh to see her son and daughter-in-law only silently without anyone willing to open their voices, they were like strangers living on the same roof.

Not long after that a well-built man in black clothes came to Adam and Ashma in the dining room, the man was one of Adam's bodyguards, Johnny Adam's bodyguard.

The man whispered to Adam that Adam had stopped the breakfast activity by immediately going with his bodyguard without saying a word to his aunt Marianee.

Ashma also did not intend to question him or just open his voice, let Adam go anyway he was still upset at the man who until now did not want to give clarity about their marriage relationship.

While Adam in his private room was talking seriously with Jhon.

"Since when?"

"One Sunday sir."

Adam tightened his jaw, he was sure that the one who sent flowers every day to Ashma was his enemy.

"Damn!" Adam kicked the table hard.

"Tightening security in every corner of the mansion! If there is a bouquet of flowers or anything that comes immediately report to me," said Adam gave orders to Jhon.

Jhon nodded in understanding, as soon as he left Adam's room to fulfill his duty.

"You are a gift." Adam murmured, reading the letter in the bouquet, with the feeling of Adam squeezing it and throwing the bouquet and letter into the trash.

"That's what you are Edward! Whatever happens I will protect my wife. I will not let the same event happen again a second time!"
