Alone Stand

"Signature! Hurry along!" The Sky Leech while throwing the map in front of Aqilah.

"What's this?" Aqilah asked as she looked at the sky face that looked extremely cold.

"That's a marriage contract. Quick signature"

"Contract? But mas, we just got married legitimately in the eyes of law and religion in front of your parents, why sign this contract?"

"Bego! You think I married you?" Ask the Sky while looking at Aqilah. "You don't deserve me. You're just a double-eyed woman who just wants to hitch a ride with me."

"Mas."

"We're married for only a year and after that I'll divorce you. So sign it fast."

Like being struck by lightning in the afternoon. I didn't expect that the wedding I had this morning went like this. The sky name of the man I betrothed to did not accept this marriage. He wanted to make this marriage a one-year contract marriage. My chest tightened instantly, as I heard from her mouth that I was not worthy of her. He should refuse if he does not want to get married, instead of enjoying marriage with a contract marriage like this.

And I had to sign the contract without reading it at all. For not wanting to quarrel with him, with the priest who will be my guide for the next year.

"You slept on the couch. Don't you dare get on my bed." He said with a very cold face. "And don't touch my things." Then the sky closed the door of the room very hard to make myself shocked.

I could only breathe out slowly, then rub my chest and hope Heaven was just joking with her words. I hope Heaven is testing my patience with her behavior that she just did to me.

But even though Heaven forbid me to touch her belongings, I as a wife did not make up her mind. I as a wife must serve Heaven as a wife to her husband.

I saw the Sky shoes scattered on the floor, then I immediately took them and kept them to the shoe place to make it look neat, and after that I tidied up the bed sheets were messy

. Until tired approaching, I was as red as cleaning the body and came back out of the room down the stairs to the kitchen.

"Darling where is the sky?" Ask Lisa's mother, my mother-in-law.

"Sky, hhm dia-, hhm,

"Yes, Mom." I said while nodding my head.

"Patience son, I know the heavens just haven't accepted this fact. But I'm sure the sky will accept you and love you one day. So please be patient"

I could only smile hearing my mother-in-law tell me about Heaven, about Sky's childhood, about what Heaven liked and disliked. I wished I could be a cloud to Heaven so that I could always be with him under any circumstances.

Skies. I don't want to be the rain that will fall to earth and leave you. And I don't want to be a sun or a shining star, but I'll leave you even if it's time. And I don't want to be a rainbow that looks so pretty, but still the edges will leave you. Sky, I want to be your cloud that is always in your light and darkness.

.........

"Mas, are you home?" Ask me as I approach the sky.

The sky just silently laid his body on the bed.

Then I, who saw the sky like that, lay down in my shoes, approached and tried to take off the shoes that Sky was wearing.

"What are you doing?" Sky asked and accidentally his leg kicked me until I fell

"Mas, i-,

"Don't touch me with your dirty hands." The Sky's speech firmly made my chest feel tight.

Is that how I am in your eyes? Even if you hold your shoes, you will not.

"Get out now!" He said while pointing towards the door.

I could only obey and get out of the room, not wanting to disturb the Sky to rest. And after a while, I thought the sky might have fallen asleep, I slowly opened the room door and entered slowly. Surely the sky has slept hard.

This was our first night as a couple. Maybe a married couple out there will spend their first night warm and romantic. But it's different from me and the sky. Our nights are not nights like theirs.
