Marriage With (Out) Love
Chapter 53 - The Bitterness of Reality

Vika looked at Okta curiously, and said she wanted to talk about something important.

"Please don't be offended, I just want to say this to be a consideration." Okta clasped Vika's hand tightly, looking as though the man was hesitant to speak.

"Why, Mas?" ask Vika confused.

"You really want to have a child?" okta's question made Vika look at him confused.

"Of course,"

"Actually I want us to postpone having children. You're only nineteen, I just want you to enjoy your youth. Can you wait?"

"Vika is ready to be a mother. Can't you believe Vika can be a good mother?" Vika looked down lethargic, that feeling of disappointment was inevitable.

"Mas believes you can be a good mother, but Mas is not ready. Mas also thinks you're young and you should have enjoyed your youth like El."

Vika chose to be quiet because she felt Okta would not change her opinion. Okta was right Vika was young and should have enjoyed her youth, but when Vika chose to marry at a young age of course all with all considerations.

For Vika to marry is the same as ready to have children. Whatever the risk, it must be the responsibility of Vika as a wife and mother.

"Vika, this doesn't mean you don't want to have children. It's just that there are some considerations that make Mas choose better we delay. Maybe one or two years later we're ready to be parents."

1 Or 2 years maybe Vika will resist her desire to have children. But what about the Okta family? What about the people out there who are sure to keep asking when they have children?

It had become a habit of people to ask that and Vika did not know if she would endure facing the same question repeatedly for 1 or 2 years.

"So Mas Okta isn't ready to have children?" elnara asked as Vika told her what had really happened.

"Yes and I are quite disappointed. From the beginning I was sure I would get the same question over and over again. I'm fed up enough, but I can't do much."

Elnara quite understood Vika's feelings and she was quite salute because her best friend was able to survive in the midst of the slur of the question 'already pregnant yet'.

"I think Mas Okta is egosi. He decided on his own without asking, try to talk again later after the honeymoon."

"According to you, is it possible that Mas Okta still has doubts about this marriage?" asked Vika without covering up her sadness.

"Honestly I don't know, but I hope Mas Okta has no doubts about your marriage. You said you wanted to have this marriage happily, right? Then throw away your negative thoughts."

Vika nodded doubtfully, what Elnara said was right. He who from the beginning believed in this marriage, he should not think bad because it would only ruin the happiness that he painstakingly built.

Okta and Vika have returned home from their honeymoon. Both are currently engaged in their respective activities. Vika with a stack of college assignments and Okta with a stack of office documents.

In the midst of their busyness somehow their Vika Okta a little away. The man always went to the office early in the morning and came home late at night. Not much time they spent together.

This makes Vika wonder, what is it exactly? Vika's curiosity makes her forced to find out what really happened.

This is where Vika is, in an elite apartment area. Vika deliberately followed Okta's car quietly and now she is waiting in the basement. Feeling unreasonable, he was afraid of finding something terrible.

Not long Okta got into her car and then just left. Vika will already breathe a sigh of relief when she sees someone who is not a stranger standing not far from Okta's car.

She is Mira, Okta's former fiancee! Vika's heart was pounding at the thought of all the bad possibilities.

With a trembling hand Vika tries to call Okta intending to ask where the man is. Vika hopes Okta is honest because at least Vika feels the man is not covering anything up.

"Mas Okta, where?" vika asked directly as Okta raised her call.

Pause a few seconds before Okta replied.

"Well in the office, what's up?"

Vika understood it all the way here. Starting from the change of Okta, the emergence of Mira and now the lie of her husband. Everything is clear and Vika understands what will happen to her household.

Perhaps he should give up this momentary happiness and return Okta to the owner of the man's heart. She should have heard Elnara say that maybe she was just Okta's escape from the man's frustration.
