Love Me Please, Mas Duda
08 - Lost My First Kiss

This morning, as usual Dea prepared breakfast for the whole family. Nilam and Clara were already sitting at the dining table waiting for Dea who was still cooking.

Dea approached Clara and handed her a plate of orders.

"It's been dropped order Mbak Clara," said Dea by commenting on his smile.

The delicious aroma burst into Clara's sense of smell.

"Hmm? Half-cooked eggplant in fried with butter?" ask Clara to confirm.

"Yes, Mother. It's according to Ma'am's order." Dea was still being friendly to Clara. Because she realizes that her position in this house is only Shady's contract wife.

Dea approached Nilam and asked him what his mother-in-law wanted.

"Mom loves all the food you make, son." Nilam smilingly received the plate from Dea.

"Thank you, Mom." Dea replied by commenting on the smile then sitting on the chair joining the others.

Clara took the fried rice cooked by Dea. Clara scrunched her forehead as if she did not accept because Dea cuisine is always delicious and fitting on her tongue. But of course Clara would not want to admit it directly.

"Oh yeah, what were you doing in Rasya's room yesterday?" Suddenly Clara remembered the smile Dea had made after leaving the young lecturer's room.

"Pak Rasya is my guidance counselor, Ma'am." Dea answered honestly.

"Oh yeah? I know Rasya's sister doesn't carelessly take students for her to guide." Clara doesn't seem to accept it.

"Yes, Ma'am. I also do not know if Rasya sir apparently liked the theme of the research I made. And he's willing to be my tutoring for my final assignment."

Clara squinted her eyes. "Are you sure you're doing it the honest way?"

"What do you mean Clara?" Dea doesn't understand Clara's talk.

"There's no need to pretend to be a saint!"

"What's this?" Shady who saw the debate Dea and Clara finally joined the dining table.

"Already! Don't argue anymore! It's not good to argue in front of food." Nilam broke up his daughter.

"This is all brother's fault! Why should you marry him? If only to nurture Naura, you don't need to marry her right?" Clara seemed to be unable to contain her frustration.

"You better keep an eye on him!" Show Clara to Dea.

"Even though Brother married her out of necessity, but you should be able to make sure that she doesn't flirt with other men out there!" Clara Excited.

Nilam who could not stand the attitude of his daughter immediately kicked the table.

"Stop, Clara! Although your brother married Dea by force, Dea is still your sister-in-law! Show her your respect!" Nilam's voice sounded angry.

Clara slammed her spoon. "Always like this! You're gonna keep defending him, right? It's free that I'm here! I only care about this woman!" Clara moved out of her chair and left the dining room.

Dea felt bad about the situation. He just kept quiet and lowered his face. He wanted to graduate and leave this house.

...***...

Shady searches for Dea's whereabouts but the girl is no longer home.

"Where is he? Did he go to college?" muttered Shady who finally crossed paths with Nilam.

"What's up, Bang? Who are you looking for?"

"Did Dea leave for college?"

"Seems like already. Bang, how was last night? You've talked a lot with Dea, haven't you?"

Nilam tried to investigate his son, whose face was now red.

"Dea is innocent. Aye right? Now you believe that Dea is innocent!"

Shady breathed. His mother was very curious about him and Dea. Shady just nodded slowly.

"But I had to find evidence of Dea's inaction in the accident." Shady is still evasive.

"Yes, do your best to fully investigate this case. You better be nice to Dea. Clara always presses him, I feel sorry for him. At least if you're being nice to her, she'll be very happy."

Shady just nodded listening to the mother. Shady chooses to go to work and say goodbye to Nilam.

Arriving on the street, Shady's eyes looked at every figure waiting in front of the bus stop. Shady searches for Dea's whereabouts, until finally...

"Let's come!" Shady shouted a little.

"Eh? No need, Mom. I can just take the bus."

"Road up! I don't accept rejection!"

Dea opens the door to Shady's car and gets into the car.

During the trip, no one spoke. Dea chose the silence.

Shady glanced at Dea who was staring straight ahead.

"I'm sorry for Clara's attitude." Finally Shady opened his voice.

Dea smile. "It's okay, Mom. I understand Clara's feelings."

Shady nodded at Dea's reply as if resigned.

Sentences that slide from Dea's lips make Shady step on the brake pedal suddenly. Dea's body staggered forward because of Shady.

"Whatdidyou say? So you want a divorce from me?"

For a moment Dea and Shady looked at each other.

"Yes, I want a divorce!" I don't know why Dea even challenged Shady.

Shady held back his anger. "All right! If you want a divorce then I'll grant it, but before that .. I want to ask for my rights as a husband right now!"

Dea's eyes are perfectly rounded. "I-I mean Mas?" Dea asked with a trembling voice.

"Before I divorce you, I will ask for my rights as husband!"

Dea swallowed his saliva. He did not expect that Shady would be ignited emotions like this.

"Mas, i..." Without being able to give a rebuttal again, Dea's body had been pulled first by Shady.

The man immediately buried his face in Dea's face. A pretty rough kiss is done by Shady who is being overwhelmed with anger. Inexplicably hearing the word divorce from Dea made Shady angry.

Dea's rebelling. He pushes Shady's body away from him. But in vain. Shady won't let Dea go before he gets his wish.

It's been a few minutes since Shady snatched Dea's first kiss. The girl was no longer able to resist. Refusing will not be possible. Shady is her husband. And Dea was well aware of what a wife should do for her husband.

Dea was crying bitterly. Should his fate be so bad that he should give up his crown in this way?

Shady opens one by one the buttons of Dea's shirt with one hand. His heart is dark. He doesn't care about all the Dea's denials.

Dea's crying gets louder. He is still trying to brush off Shady's body that is getting wrapped around him.

Until finally...

The shadow of Nola's figure was present in Shady's mind. Instantly he withdrew himself from Dea's body.

Shady rubbed his face rough. "What have I done?" muttered.

Dea was still crying sobbing with her clothes fixed. Her heart ached with the rude attitude Shady had done to her.

"Get out!" Shady.

Dea continued to cry. He was very afraid of Shady now.

"Get out or I'll do more for you!" Shady's shout made Dea immediately open the car door. Dea came out with tears still flowing.

Shady's car sped back up and left Dea by the side of the road. Dea held onto her lips which felt numb.

"You're bad, Mum! You're evil!" Dea was crying bitterly on the side of the road. He spilled all his sadness there before going to campus.

...***...

On campus, Dea felt he no longer had the energy to attend college. This morning's incident made his pride hurt.

How could Shady do that to her? Is that how Shady hates him?

That was all that kept ringing in Dea's mind. His body could no longer bear all the burdens in his heart. The longing for the figure of his family far away, made Dea feel a deep sadness.

Dea staggered and bumped into several people who were passing by her.

"Sorry..." That's the only word Dea said.

His head was pulsing. His eyes began to blur.

BRUK!

Dea collapse. His body fell in the corridor of the campus.

Someone who saw him lying down immediately shouted for help.

"What's this?" A teacher approached the crowd of students.

"There's a faint, sir," one of the students reported.

The young lecturer who was Rasya immediately saw the condition of the fainted student.

"Dea! What the hell happened to him? The dea! Up, Dea!"

Rasya patted Dea cheek softly. But the girl was still unconscious. Without waiting for long, Rasya immediately took Dea's body to the hospital.

At the hospital, Rasya waited anxiously in front of the IGD room. Rasya wants to contact the Dea family, but he doesn't know who to contact. Dea lives alone in the city.

Lucky when Rasya was confused, a call came into Dea's cell phone. He answered her immediately and told her that Dea was in the hospital.

Thirty minutes of Rasya waiting in front of the IGD room. Suddenly a man came and asked the nurse who was there.

"Suster, on behalf of Midea Lestari, is she being treated here?" Asked the man who made Rasya curious and approached him.

"Shady?!" Call Rasya who made the man turn his head.

"Knees?!" Shady was shocked to see a familiar figure there.
