All-Wedding Shackles
*Only A SNIPPET of chapter 1*
The morning sun had turned on me, awakening me from the subconscious. Slowly I tried to open my eyes. The figure of Alzam mas who slept next to me last night is no longer there. My body feels so sore. When I was about to step into the bathroom there was a sense that stuck in my feminine area. I grimaced softly withstanding the pain, hoping to reach the bathroom soon.
After finishing the bath ritual, I went out of the room. There I saw a middle-aged woman arranging dishes on the table.
"Have you woken up yet?" askinya.
I nodded slowly. "Yes, Buk" I replied slowly. I don't know who this woman is because Alzam didn't say anything. Even when we arrived last night, no one welcomed us.
"Don't call mom! Just call me mbok Inah. I'm the maid in this house, '" he explained.
"Oh, yes sorry Mbok, I don't know," I said while grinning at Mbok Inah. "Where is Alzam, Mbok?" I was looking for the whereabouts of Alzam.
"Den Al has left for work, Non. He said that tonight he could not go home quickly because there was overtime," said mbok Inah while taking rice for me.
One day at home makes me feel bored, especially I can't do anything. Mbok Inah did not allow me to help with his work at all. I'm just hanging around like a pathetic midfielder. Even on my first day as a wife, I couldn't welcome my husband when I opened my eyes.
"Non Ara's busy?" ask mbok Inah. I watched the television look up and shook my head. "No mbok" I answered briefly.
"Then let Mbok invite Non Ara to look around the contents of this house. Mbok will also show a room that can not be opened non Ara." I also nodded to follow the steps mbok Inah.
Mbok Inah took me around the contents of every room in the Alzam mas house. He explained every room. And now comes the time to stop in front of a room that uses a password key.
I was actually also curious about the room, why was it given a password system. Is there a big secret inside? I don't know.
After being content to surround the contents of the house mas Alzam, mbok Inah left me on the terrace because I was to be in the house. My thoughts cannot be separated from our seemingly meaningless marriage. How not, Mas Alzam only forced to marry me so that the debts of his mother paid off. There is no love between us. Mas Alzam just wanted to use me to channel his passion. He doesn't even consider me his wife.
My daydream snapped as a female voice greeted me. "Who are you?" tanyakanya.
The beautiful woman who had white skin and long hair was getting closer to me.
"You're the new maid, huh? Oh yeah, is Al inside? From last night I tried to contact him but didn't respond. Is she okay?" ask the woman at length.
"Mas Al has left for work. Who are you?" I ventured to ask the woman.
With a beautifully engraved smile, the woman replied, "Include me Aira, her fiance Al." The woman extended her hand to me. Instantly my heart was pounding strongly even when I was listening to Aira, my hands felt very trembling.
"Why are you nervous like that?" ask again.
"Nothing, ma'am. I'm just a gerogi, understand this is my first day working here," I lie to Aira.
"Oh yeah? You just relax. Al is a good guy. By the way, whose name are you?"
I smiled faintly looking at the fluffy smile on Aira's face and said, "My name is Zahra."
Since Mas Alzam was not home, Aira decided to meet him at the office. I don't know why my heart suddenly ached when I heard that she was my husband's fiancee. I threw out my rough breath then too headed to the room.
"O Lord, what trials have you given me? It turned out that I was the third person between Alzam and Aira. Can I live out my days as the wife of Alzam?" Without me noticing my tears just dripping. My heart aches even more, imagining my next days living without love.
