Bonds Without Love
ITC #44

"Erin didn't tell you about her family's problems maybe because she didn't want you to use that to oppress her."

Bhishma remembered Farhan's words when she saw Erina approaching him with a tray of food. Then Bhishma saw the woman smiling and sitting before him.

Farhan has told me many things that Bhishma does not know about Erina, including about Erina's father's affair and about Erina's mother who was mentally disturbed due to the affair.

Bhishma finally knew the reason Erina was sad when Bhishma told her parents that time. Because it turns out that Erina experienced the same thing with Bhishma. It even seems worse than the natural Bhishma.

"Erin, actually I can buy a meal outside ..."

"Sadly, I won't let you buy food outside."

"You're sick, I ..."

"Just a little dizzy, my hands and feet are fine, I can still take care of your needs."

Bisma sighed as Erina continued to interrupt her words. He didn't know how to win when he talked to his wife. Erina still looked limp, but the woman forced herself to cook.

"Thank you ..." Bisma said in a low voice, then took out a plate filled with fried rice that Erina gave her.

"I'm just doing my job, sorry I just cooked it ..."

"It's okay, thank you for being a good wife to me." Bisma smiled and immediately ate his wife's fried rice. Bisma always liked whatever Erina's cooking was.

"And thank you for being my wife even though you were afraid and hesitant to get involved in marriage. I promise to make you happy until you forget your wounds."

Bisma continued her sentence in her heart while continuing to smile, Erina who saw it just joined in smiling watching Bisma, somehow Erina was happy to see her husband smiling.

Oh yes, Farhan also told about Erina's fear of marriage, Farhan said before Erina married the woman had been approached by several men and Erina rejected them all.

Erina immediately refused because the men tried to approach her by proposing, Erina did not really recognize them, Erina only knew that the men had come to Farhan's cafe.

Farhan said, Erina once told Soraya that the woman regretted rejecting them, not because the men had the advantages that Erina realized, just now, Erina was sorry for not giving each other the chance to know each other.

"Erin, how about I fire some servants at our mansion?" Ask Bhishma while chewing the food in her mouth. It just so happened that Farhan was telling Erina a little bit of an obedience.

Farhan said, Erina is a woman with strong principles and is also stubborn. Erina said that if something touched her heart, and Bhishma was sure it would make Erina's heart touched.

Why does Bhishma carry the name of the servant?! Soraya said Erina collapsed from exhaustion and blamed Bhishma for it. While Bisma thinks Erina is tired because of the woman's job.

Is correct. Bhishma was trying to keep Erina from working too hard and wanted her to stop taking care of homework, Bhishma deliberately discussed it before they returned to the mansion.

Well, tonight Bisma and Erina are staying at Farhan and Soraya's house, they're not going back to the mansion because Erina wants to stay at Soraya's house to make sure her best friend is okay.

Erina was still thinking about Soraya even though she herself was unwell, it was true what Farhan said, Bhishma also felt to be the third person between Erina and Soraya.

But, Erina still cared about the fate of her husband's stomach even though Erina was with Soraya, even Erina insisted on making food for Bhishma when Soraya told her to rest.

"Why suddenly fire the waiter?" Erina asked not understanding.

Currently, Bisma and Erina were in a room that was once Erina's room. They're just two there. Soraya had been invited away by Farhan because he did not want to disturb. While Leo, the man was doing the task that Bhishma gave him, carrying the suitcase to the mansion.

Erina did not understand the reason Bhishma wanted to fire the servants when they had not returned to the mansion. He only knew that the servants needed their jobs to survive in a hard city like Jakarta. And his bisma ruthlessly wanted to fire them?!

"I can't pay a waitress who doesn't do her job." Answer Bhishma. He continued to eat while talking to his wife.

"Erin, all this time you've been doing almost all their work, so let's fire Maya and Siti, how?" Bisma's question interrupted Erina's thinking.

"No!" Erina answered quickly. "I don't agree you fired them."

Bisma managed to finish Erina's fried rice, then she kept her used plate to the nightstand and looked at her two beads.

"Then do you agree to stop doing their job?" Bisma asked as she brought her face closer to Erina's face and made the woman retreat.

"Bisma, I hope you don't think too much about what Soraya said." Erina said without answering Bhishma's question.

Erina thinks Bhishma did that because she was offended by Soraya's words. He remembered Soraya directly blaming Bisma when Erina opened her eyes.

Bisma smiles. "I don't think about what Soraya said, I just can't pay people who don't work." Bhishma confirms his point.

"Muil ..."

"Erin, I hope you understand!" Bisma interrupted Erina's words, then took the glass filled with mineral water from the tray Erina held and immediately drank it in one gulp.

"Alright, then I agree." Erina said quickly, she can't let Bhishma fire Maya and Siti.

"Agreed what?" Bisma asked pretending not to understand Erina's intentions, then kept the empty glass back in her hands to the nightstand.

"I'll stop doing their job." Erina replied, she bit her lower lip because actually Erina still objected that her duties as a wife were taken over by others.

Bisma smiled in satisfaction, then touched Erina's lips. "Don't hurt yourself."

Erina felt her heart racing as Bhishma's hand touched the surface of her lips, especially when Erina realized what Bhishma was looking at, her husband stared fixedly at her lips.

"From now on I will try to take care of you and won't let you get hurt." The bisma gave a brief kiss to Erina's lips, then whispered something. "I like to wash her mouth."

Bisma developed her smile when she saw Erina's facial expression. "I should have been aware of your wounds from the beginning. Erin, I'm sorry to add to that wound ..." Continue in the heart.

Actually no one has the right to be blamed except for the circumstances ...

 ****

While elsewhere,

"Raya, if you trust me, I hope you can trust Bhishma too! I think you're overreacting! And you better stop meddling with Erin's marriage! Don't make Erin doubt her husband, again!"

Soraya fell silent, not that she could not trust Bhishma, she was only worried that Bhishma was making Erina disappointed. Although Soraya knew that she should not interfere in Erina's household.

And as for Soraya's tough attitude towards Bhishma, everything just goes. Soraya kept remembering Erina's desperate face in the hospital, the same face when Erina first came to Jakarta.
