Ayu sleeps on her back to the man who has now become her husband. He hugged the pillow tightly and bolted while trying to stay awake all night.
"I can't sleep! Or I'll be eaten by him." Saying in the heart.
His heart was pounding and his breathing was a little tight.
He really hopes the night will pass.
The next day, I opened my eyes. "Geez! How can I fall asleep!" He sat down and looked at the pajamas he was wearing. He was trying to make sure that nothing happened last night.
Ayu looked at the side of the bed and was not found the figure of the man.
"Hopefully he's gone."
Ayu got out of bed and immediately cleaned up. She now lives in her husband's house. Her husband was an experienced and well-established doctor. Perhaps most of the people think that ayu is a very lucky woman because it can marry such a man. But what appears from the outside always looks more beautiful than the contents inside.
Ayu married without love. He married because of a pre-planned marriage.
A few weeks before the contract. Ayu has stomach pain. He was taken to a hospital not far from his home.
"What's? Operation?" Mama Ayu was shocked to hear the news delivered by a doctor.
Ayu who was behind the ER bed was no less surprised.
"Maa.." ayu tries to call her mother.
"Yes ayu?"
"Well why ma?"
"Say your doctor has an appendectomy, son.."
"Douuuh. I'm afraid ma.."
"Let's calm, son, this is so that you don't feel pain like this anymore, so you're strong, son."
Operations are inevitable. After a few days of recovery after the operation. Ayu was finally allowed to go home.
A week after the incident, ayu got shocking news from both parents. He overheard their conversation as he was about to pass through his room.
"Mama agrees with me.."
"Yes already then try to talk to mama ayu. Papa thinks that mama who talks from the heart will surely he will listen."
Ayu ran to the room and locked the door. He doesn't want to meet anyone. Hearts scared.
"Why the hell do they want me to get married fast! Don't they like me living here? I just tried to graduate from my S1 to make them proud. But why now would they want to give their only child to someone else's family?"
Tok to tok.
"Well.. are you inside? Mama wants to talk to you for a second, son, please open the door, son.."
"Wouldn't! Ayu don't want to get married! Especially those who don't know!"
Mama ayu was surprised to hear ayu's response just now. Looks like her only puppet princess has learned that will be married off.
"Father.please open up, son.."
"No way!"
Mama ayu tries to give ayu space for herself.
"It looks like ayu is still in shock."
"But isn't he hungry? He hasn't eaten at all since this afternoon."
"Later in the night he'll be down when we're asleep."
Sure enough what mom said. At midnight, ayu is like a mouse looking for food in the kitchen. He opened the fridge and was surprised to see his favorite black forest cake. Hurry him up and put him on the dining table. No need to wait long to spend the black forest diameter of 15 cm . After he was full, he returned to the room.
The next day I woke up as usual. He opened the door of his room and checked the situation around before exiting.
"One by one, where is everyone?"
Ayu decided to walk out and head straight to the kitchen. Because last night he only ate cake, of course he was hungry in the morning.
Unfortunately, he found nothing in the kitchen. Finally he only made a glass of sugar water to prop up his hungry stomach.
Suddenly the sound of the living room door opened. Ayu wavers after being caught out of the room. It didn't seem like enough time to go back to his room upstairs. He also hid under the dining table.
Mom entered the kitchen. He had just bought a cooked dish to serve to guests.
"Hopefully ayu is not angry anymore.I would like to say that it could be that he listened to only part of the information. If he knew the truth, he'd change his mind." Mama ayu muttered.
Ayu who once again heard secretly this time tried to brave herself to come out and face it.
"What really happened ma?"
"AMNOW! Geez ayu. You ngagetin mama aja! So you're down there?"
"Yes ma.. ayu want to know what happened ma? Why would you suddenly want to marry a man you've never met?"
"Who said you've never met my dear. You've never met this man.."
"Who ma?"
I have not yet answered the sound of many people in the living room. Mama ayu peeked and looked like her guests were coming.
"What's? A guest? Who?"
"Today you're ayu's proposal."
"WHAT!"
"Srst.."
"But ma. ayu right say not ready ma.. see this ayu has not yet taken a shower either."
"You take a shower, son.."
"Mama! I don't want to marry you.."
"Well.ayu.. listen to mama. This is not only for your good but also the sustainability of the company that papa has grown since you were a child. It's been a few months since my dad's been in decline."
"What's? So this wedding?"
"Please beg you to set aside your ego for a moment, son, I am sure sooner or later you will get to know the man. He's a good man, son, I'm sure he can make you happy."
"It takes time to think ma. Come on to the room first."
A few minutes later I went out and went down to meet the guests.
How surprised she was to find out that the man who would be her husband was the doctor who operated on her during appendicitis.
"Doctor?"
"Yes ayu. this kemal doctor papa uda knows long loh. his people are hardworking and responsible."
"I'm sorry to surprise you. May I introduce myself again?"
Ayu nodded.
" My name is Kemal Dirgantara. I work as a doctor at xxx hospital. I am 30 years old now. Maybe it's from me if anyone wants to ask please."
"No, that's enough." Answer ayu briefly.
"So are you willing to be my wife?"
"Yes I'm ready."
Mama and papa ayu seem very happy to hear the unexpected decision ayu.
Acarapun continued with the selection of wedding dates ayu and kemal.
---------------------
After taking a shower, go down to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
But his steps slowed down after he noticed that there was someone in the kitchen.
"Who are you?"
"Oh my ART mbak.my name is sri."
The woman looked to be about 40 years old.
"I am ayu."
"Bak ayu would like to have the same breakfast as I would prepare.."
"Hmm.. Is there bread? I'll make it myself, aunt can continue."
"But.was kemal said I should prepare breakfast after mbak ayu wake up."
"Gapapa bi. for breakfast I can make my own. Thanks."
All day ayu spends his time watching drakor in the room.
An activity that women usually do when there is no work. Until it felt like the day was getting darker.
"It seems like it's time for him to go home."
I was confused what he should do. He did not want to meet or even talk to the man. He still felt awkward and embarrassed.
In the afternoon, bi sri was ready to go home. Before returning home bi sri had prepared dinner for ayu and kemal.
A few minutes after the return of bi sri, kemal went home.
Ayu is seen sitting in the tv room and watching her favorite show. Ayu was unaware of her husband's arrival.
"Ehem.." Kemal tried to steal ayu's attention but apparently ayu is still focused on television shows.
Go to the room and take a shower. After that, he started to eat dinner without eating.
Soon he approached ayu back but apparently ayu had fallen asleep in front of the tv that was still on.
Kemal took a blanket for ayu. Actually he could have carried ayu to the room. But it will make him hated by ayu if ayu until conscious when he is not ready his body touched by kemal. Kemal also did not want to wake ayu that looks so slick.
"Good sleep my wife.." Kemal returned to his room after enveloping ayu and turning off the tv.
To be continued.
