From Inpar to Wife
Chapter 3
After careful thought, Maira agreed to her marriage to Reza. Somehow the house later, he doesn't care. It's also just a series, and only temporary until Reza finds a baby sitter who wants to stay and can work well, for Alisha. Most importantly, Alisha is safe in her hands.
Not used for long, the agreement was held exactly 2 months after Nindy's death. The event was also only attended by representatives of neighbors and close relatives and Reza's family. Although this marriage is certainly a conversation because it feels too fast. However, after Bu Intan gave understanding to the surrounding residents, they seemed to agree, because up or down the bed was a natural thing to happen. Especially if the child is the reason, and to avoid slander.
After the penghulu and witnesses have been present, the agreement is ready to be implemented.
“Brother Reza Bara Satrio, I married and I trust you with sister Maira Naraya, with a set of prayer tools and cash of 50 million rupiah, paid in cash!”
For a second Reza was silent. He recalled the moment he had earlier this year with Nindy Naraya. And now, he's back with another woman. Truly, things he never imagined would happen in his life.
Seeing the guests present, as well as his mother who seemed to be waiting for him, Reza rushed to complete his agreement. “I received the marriage and marriage of Maira Naraya with the dowry in cash.”
“SAH!!”
There was no joyous look on her face between Reza and Maira, although the expression of sumringah emanated from the guests, as well as Bu Intan.

After the agreement, Maira officially stayed at Reza's house. He returns to his activities to work as usual, and takes care of Alisha after work of course. Mama Reza also went straight home to her own house the next day after the agreement, because she also has a busy taking care of her boutique, the relics of the husband, Reza's father.
Unlike when he was her brother-in-law until before they married, Reza is so friendly and kind, now Reza is so cold and rigid to him since the wedding plan exists, until now. Either because he could not accept this marriage, or indeed from the beginning did not want to marry Maira. Clearly, Maira felt that the former brother-in-law, who is now her husband, should not have done so, because she herself did not want this marriage from the beginning.
“Indeed from the beginning I want to marry him? Do you think I like him and am happy about this marriage? So stupefied his style,” murmured in his heart.
Even so, Maira still tries to be a good wife because she does not want to play with the sacred promise that has been pledged.
Today, she began preparing breakfast before she and her husband left for work. But unfortunately, Reza easily refused the breakfast he had prepared on the grounds of being in a hurry. In fact, Maira was willing to wake up early to prepare it after last night staying up to take care of Alisha.
“I just supply yes, Mas, so it can be eaten on the road,” bargain Maira patiently.
Maira can only stroke his chest and prepare to leave for work, not forgetting to say goodbye to Alisha and leave it to his old nanny, who has returned to work guarding Alisha.
Until the night when Reza returned home from work, Maira had not yet returned home. Her nanny is going home and Alisha is still crying. Reza patiently carried and calmed the baby.
Before long, Maira came home and immediately washed her hands.
Hearing Alisha's cry, he rushed to the room to carry her. “Sini, Mas, let me.”
“Working hours just got home. Is that what you said you wanted to take care of Alisha? The proof is that I also have to step in!” ketus Reza gives Alisha to carry Maira.
Maira apologizes for the distance of Reza's house with his office a little far away, making him come home late.
“Ya it's okay also ‘kan if he touched his papa first. Why should sewot,” reply Maira.
Until several days similar events continue to occur and make Reza even more upset. As if he felt that there was no point in marrying Maira if he still had to rush home to take care of his son. Alisha's nanny only served until 6 pm, after which, she would leave it to the housekeeper until her parents left the office.
Equally tired, arguing after going home from work was inevitable.
“If from my boarding house to the office, the distance is close, Mas, walk only 15 minutes, take a taxi also only 5 to 10 minutes, the caregiver would still want to wait a while. That's why I had the courage to offer to take care of Alisha at my boarding house. If from your home, just travel to my office with KRL 1 hour, not to the station. I myself came home from work at 6 pm, obviously I arrived home late.” Maira defended herself because it was so.
“I don't want to know, I married you only to Alisha. If this is the way, how is it different from me taking care of it myself? There is no point in marrying you!” snapped Reza who seemed not to care about his wife's complaints.
Deg. Maira's heart seemed to stop beating hearing her husband's scream. Just one day as his wife, his heart was already sliced. Sad and sad to be one.
Should this be how her ex-in-law treats her?
