Forced to Share a Bed
Chat in the Back Garden

"Sir, please allow me to meet the Goddess ma'am," I asked after deleting the threat message from the Goddess ma'am.

I removed it to prevent a commotion between Mr. Zulfikar and Ms. Dewi. I don't want our lives to be public consumption. This show is not finished. If until there is a problem due to the threat of mother Dewi, then the reputation of the Antasna family will be again at stake. Not just the Antasena family, the family will be affected.

"No, no," he insisted.

My position and Mr. Zulfikar are separated from the invited guests' seats. No one could hear our conversation. What should persuade him? What if Miss Dewi is serious about her threat? Although our relationship is improving, but I'm not sure Madam Dewi has recovered from her illness.

"Is there anything I can do as a condition in order to meet the Goddess?" He leaned his head on his shoulder and stroked his arm.

"You deliberately seduced me to meet that woman?"

Mr. Zulfikar has not changed his mind. Oiya, why does he always call the Goddess mom with the phrase 'that woman?' Hasn't Zulfikar been visiting Dewi's mom lately?

"If I answer yes, will you grant my request? Please ..." Now while peeling his palm.

"can't. Still can't. Point." Clamoring.

"Are you sure you're not curious about my mischief? Sir, actually, I can get you intoxicated, dear" I whispered as I stroked the top of his knee. Our position is blocked by the table. So, I'm not worried about the invited guests seeing it. He sighed while loosening his collar. Looks like, start yawning.

"Why did you get me drunk?" He held my hand that had just done some prank.

"With my body" I whispered.

"Jeez Hanindiya. Are you possessed?" He even held my forehead.

"Hmm, yes it is if you don't want to mah. Though, if you apply for the requirements, I'll do whatever you want. As long as it doesn't pay for our baby, I'll do it."

"Well, tell the ladies that you're willing to meet after the tausiyah is over." At last. I don't know what kind of conditions he'll apply for. Importantly, I've been allowed to speak four-eyes with the Goddess ma'am.

"I'll see Brother after the tausiyah show is over." Message sent.

"I want it now, Daini."

"Sir, Mother Goddess wants him to meet now. How'this?"

"Let's just say I won't allow you to meet him before the tausiyah is over and the invited guests leave" he replied.

How strange. Why was Mr Zulfikar that early? In fact, a few days ago, when I said, 'in your body there are no more scars or bruises. Sorry, has Miss Dewi changed and treated you well?' Then he answered with a nod.

"Sister, I'm not allowed to see Brother right now. Mr. Zulfikar said, you can only see your brother after the tausiyah is finished and the guests go home."

"All right."

Thank goodness, I'm glad that Goddess is willing to give up. Continue to observe tausiyah.

"You're serious, is it because the ustadz is pretty handsome?" his protest.

"W-what? I'm seriously listening to his tausiya, sir." I'm glaring. It could be the same spray sir ustad.

"Don't look at the pulpit, look the other way or just look at my face" he said. He even grabbed my head to look at her. Geez, I smiled at her attitude.

A few moments later, the Goddess appeared. He sat down next to Zulfikar and grabbed his arm. Mr. Zulfikar budged and said absolutely nothing. He remained silent until the tausiyah event was over and invited guests began to say goodbye.

"I want to salaman the same Mr. Ustadz. I'll stay, baby." He bailed. But just saying goodbye to me.

"Yes, sir," I said.

"Mas," call the Goddess when Zulfikar's pack passes. However, Mr. Zulfikar did not heed the call of the Goddess bu. He kept walking and as if he did not hear the voice of the Goddess.

"Mas." Even when the Goddess maam called out for the second time, she still did not care.

"What does Brother mean?"

"Come with me, Daini. We need to talk."

While the guests were bidding farewell to mama Yuze and papa Aksa, and some of the guests were taking pictures with the ustadz and decorations, Miss Dewi suddenly pulled my hand. I wanted to resist, but was afraid to cause trouble. Finally, I obeyed and stalked him until we arrived at the back garden.

...⚘️⚘️⚘️...

We sat side by side on the park bench.

"The talk is done. We can talk together." Madam Dewi started the conversation in a soft voice.

"What's up, brother? Yeah, we can talk. Thank you for waiting for Goddess."

"Dai, why are you so brave?" He asked while looking at the flowers that adorned the garden.

"Group? What does Brother mean?" I really don't understand.

"It should be, as the most dear wife and understand religion, you can remind your husband."

"Sister, I don't understand what you mean. After all, Mr. Zulfikar is also Brother's husband."

"Don't pretend to be stupid, Daini. You're happy, aren't you sleeping with Zul every night?" His tone began to rise. But still staring at the flowers.

"Sister, really. I don't understand." While holding his hand.

"You sure you don't understand what I mean?!" snapped it. This time looking at me.

"Yes, Brother. I don't get it. Because as far as I know, lately Mr. Zulfikar has always carried out his obligations. He never shirked his schedule with Brother" I explained.

"What did you say?!" The Goddess was surprised. I only returned his gaze and could not speak anymore.

"You said that Zul always did his duty?! He never neglected his schedule with me?! What kind of shit is that?!" his yell.

"I-I'm not lying, brother. Kena---."

"For a week Mas Zul has never seen me, Daini!" as usual.

"What-what?!" Now I'm surprised.

"I'm not lying Daini!" From his gaze, I was like seeing honesty in the eyes of the Goddess Mother.

"Sister Goddess," I hugged her. He did not refuse, but did not return my embrace.

"Did Zul have permission to see me?"

"Yes, Brother. I'll reconfigure with Mr. Zulfikar first" I said.

Even though Miss Dewi looks honest, I still can not directly blame Mr. Zulfikar. But, if Dewi's mother is right, then Zulfikar sir has lied to me. Then, where have Zulfikar sir been if not to go to the house of Dewi? My heart was beating fast. Why is Zulfikar like that?

"Let's meet Mas Zul with Daini" he asked.

"Not now, brother. There are guests."

"In your room only. We're talking in the room." Madam Dewi gave a suggestion while rushing to my room. Want to not, I followed.
