Happy Ending's
Chapter 15: Tired

"Have you tried this before?" I asked Antonius. We were having dinner at a stewed noodle shop in one of Singapore's corner kopitiam. Although the name is boiled noodles, the taste, texture and appearance are very different from boiled noodles in Indonesia. The sauce is thick and yellowish, the taste is too sweet on my tongue, the noodles themselves wear hockey noodles and there is a sprinkling of raw green chili, tofu, boiled shrimp, as well as boiled eggs and fried onion sprinkles. I'm not saying it tastes bad, it just doesn't fit on my tongue and I'm sure it's foreign to most Indonesians.

Antonius. His face looked reluctant, annoyed, and numerous thoughts. I don't know what's in that guy's head. "Do you want to try other foods after this?" I asked as smoothly as possible. Suppress my frustration And Antonius just shook his head again. Was he so mute that he couldn't talk?

I know he doesn't like unhealthy food. I mean, foods that contain carbohydrates. He prefers to eat vegetables or boiled chicken. On his tongue, all food tasted the same. Tasteless. But, there is no harm in trying other foods that he has never eaten before. Aye, right?

After we finished our meal, we went back to the hotel and took a taxi. Antonius was still anti with the name of the crowd, and to bring him here I forced him in various ways.

"Sleep, "" An annoyed Antonius laid himself on the sofa. I grunt. What is the difference between a honeymoon abroad and at home? We should be going around right now. 

I changed my clothes and chose to hide my body under the covers while surfing social media. 

"I have to go back to Indonesia" Antonius said. Suddenly I got up from the prone position and looked at him.

"You're not kidding, are you?!"

"There's a sudden affair." He got up from the sofa and started packing his things. His face has been agitated since. But, can't you tell me?

"You can stay if you want to."

"That's not what I meant. Tell me what really happened! It's not a matter of me staying or not!"

"Anna's in the hospital."

Anna's? Who the hell is Anna? Is that so important to him? Is there anything I don't know? Yeah, this whole thing was weird from the start. There's a lot I don't know. There are many mysteries in this marriage.

"Is that woman more valuable than our honeymoon?" My voice suddenly became quiet. No more power to scream. 

Anthony sat beside me. He was ready to leave the hotel room. "Key, let's go home." His hand touched my shoulder and I retreated backwards. I don't want to be touched. Not wanting to be persuaded by his flirting. 

"Go away. I'll stay." I replied with a trembling voice. And turn your face. A little while later Antonius left me and chose to return to Indonesia for an Anna.

Yeah, if she loves him why not marry him? Am I just a bully fly to them? Antonius, what do I mean to him? I covered my body with a soft cotton blanket. My tears flowed and my heart kept wondering. Was love just a lie? Is this marriage just a ruse that I don't understand what it means? Ma, pa, does this also include your plans?
