Forced to Marry a Husband
It is not good to force a relationship...
The night of the engagement was properly held, Pian was soon back from out of town when he learned the unpleasant news. There was anger in his eyes over the actions of his daughter who was arrested by residents, but it was already happening that marrying his daughter was the best decision.
"Jessica I don't think about her," Reyna hugged her sister-in-law as tightly as she could.
His sister-in-law immediately came to his in-laws' house, when Puput himself asked for it. Puput is the mother-in-law or birth mother of Alex, she is quite affectionate and appreciates Jessica as part of the family.
Jessica could only hug Reyna giving strength to her sister-in-law, sometimes her hands rubbed Reyna's back.
Likewise with Nayla even he continued to wait for his wife since noon.
"Nayla, do you believe I didn't do anything?" said Reyna and Nayla also nodded, how can they do it, while getting along alone can never.
"Tante Puput has heart disease, he has been very shocked when he caught you in a crowd of people, let alone residents justify all that" said Nayla.
"Nayla but I..."
Puput went into the room to see Reyna who was still wearing a white shirt combined with black pants.
Hadn't asked to wear the kebaya she just gave but why not wear it too.
"Basic shame!!!" The puput continued to hold the chest that hurt, he was very embarrassed to feel failed to educate his daughter.
"Ma, I don't..."
Nayla shook her head to ask Reyna no longer denied, knowing that Puput was not okay. Besides the atmosphere is heating up, afraid of making things worse, Reyna was forced to shut up even though she was still crying.
"Mom sit down and drink first," Jessica led Puput to sit on the side of the bed, giving minerals might make the woman better.
"Where's alex?" Jessica stiffened as Puput asked her husband who was out of nowhere, no contact at all, both as if foreign and busy with their respective affairs.
"Jessica" Fogged Jessica's shoulder, resuscitated from her daydream.
Jessica gulps her saliva while turning to look at Reyna then Nayla.
"You call Alex" said Puput and Jessica nodded, slowly picking up her phone and looking for Alex's contact name.
With doubt Jessica contacted Alex and a moment later came the voice of someone across there. Jessica breathed a sigh of relief Alex received her call, unfortunately what was heard was not Alex's voice but a woman's voice.
"I'm sorry, Jessica, Doctor Alex is in the toilet" said the woman over there, surely knowing who contacted Alex, seeing her name on the screen.
Jessica was silent with sweat but, the body felt cooler even though the air was fine. Question after question popped into his head, who was that woman? what does this have to do with Alex?
"Jessica are you quiet?" Puput saw the awkwardness that invites question.
"Yes Ma, Alex...."
"Hello," now Alex's voice is on the phone.
Jessica also stopped explaining a reason that was just a lie to her in-laws to cover the actual state of the household without knowing the direction and purpose.
"Hello where are you?" Jessica was feeling tense, maybe Alex would abuse her, Jessica thought.
Feeling disturbed because of the phone call from him, for this time Jessica begged Alex's understanding, also doing this because of her in-laws.
"I'm in the apartment, what's wrong?" ask Alex coldly.
In apartment?
Same woman?
Again!!!
What right does it have to forbid it all, nothing!!!
Although getting married for the sake of Devan and Nayla's happiness goal, should Alex do this much to her?
Nah! Jessica had to be patient, initially married for one thing, then why suddenly expect more?
"I'm at Mama's house, Reyna and Nanda are getting engaged tonight, Mama's asking you to come home," Jessica finally said her goal was to contact Alex.
Even though the lips are heavy.
The call was cut off either Alex would go home or there was no definitive answer.
"Did he come home?" tanya Puput is impatient.
"Ma's home, but it's a bit of a long time there's a sudden job," for the lonely time Jessica lied.
"Are you okay?" Nayla thinks something's wrong with Alex and Jessica's wedding.
The engagement was about to start, Alex just came before the ring exchange.
All sat in the family room to watch the engagement, not least Ana who also came with Bima Putra.
"Jessica, your husband is not welcome?" ask Puput.
"That smile, asked what drink? how the hell," said Puput again.
Either because the head of Puput is dizzy thinking of Reyna to make his high blood continue to boil, or indeed Puput does not like a wife who does not welcome the arrival of her husband.
I don't know!!!
Jessica is not aware of the arrival of Alex, after all if there is a what kind of welcome?
"Yes, you guys..."
"Nayla," Devan glared coldly at his wife, asking to remain silent without intervening. Nayla also nodded in silence, let alone many people.
After the ring exchange event was followed by dinner together, Reyna felt no appetite for what happened. Immediately even without saying goodbye, she left the others without saying a word especially to the man who is now her future husband.
"Arni, sorry yeah! understandably Reyna still needs a lot of learning," said Puput unwell.
"I understand," Arni smiled gently.
"He's still a kid" Arni said.
Dinner was going well, occasionally a joke was heard to break the silence.
Nanda was just quietly resigned to accept the situation, a moment later Nanda's phone rang, immediately received it and resigned because he had a sudden task.
"You said good to Reyna first" Arni said.
"It's straight to his room, it's okay" said Puput.
To the room directly?
Nanda could have received a raw bogeman.
"I'm in a hurry Auntie, Mama, all I'm sorry!" pamit Nanda and leave immediately.
"Hopefully they get married Arni, I'm afraid Reyna might get pregnant" Puput couldn't imagine how embarrassed it would be if that happened.
"There must be no fear," Arni assured Puput that his son would be responsible.
"Alex, why don't you eat? Jessica, your husband's plate is still empty, "Sicken puput is not a bitch, why the daughter-in-law ate first before paying attention to her husband.
Puput squeezed Jessica in the face, upset that she could not serve her husband.
"What in the apartment are you like? is the husband not taken care of? how embarrassing!!! Arni if Reyna later does this to Nanda, do not hesitate to scold her, I do not like women who can not take care of the husband," said Puput mercilessly.
Jessica could only wipe her chest accepting whatever her in-laws were thinking of her.
"Look Nayla asked her husband, eat this, that, which one? and fill the plate of her husband," said Puput again.
"Tante already," Nayla doesn't want to compare everyone to have their own way.
Maybe so is Jessica.
"From today you and Alex have to stay at Mama's house, so Mama teaches how to take care of her husband" said Puput with her chest up and down.
The bitter taste of rice that is now in Jessica's mouth, wanting to get up from her seat was disrespectful, with the tears of Jessica just bowed while listening to every word that cornered her,, Jessica realized this was a punishment that was not how much for her compared to what she had done to Devan and Nayla, well again Jessica tried to hold tightness in the chest.
"Alex we need to talk," Devan stood up from his seat, Devan's feet running towards the terrace.
Alex wakes up from his seat and catches up with Devan who is waiting for him on the porch.
"I know the marriage you're having, if you can't afford it don't make sacrifices if you two can't be happy" Devan turned around and looked at Alex.
No words came out of Alex's mouth, he just kept quiet and did not expect it turns out Devan knew about the marriage charade himself and Jessica.
Devan walked toward Alex patting his best friend's shoulder several times, hoping for the right decision, release or happiness! it is not good to force a relationship.
