Quiet Wife
01. Wedding Day

"I accepted the marriage and marriage of Naura Akmilia Binti Hermawan with the dowry paid in cash."

There was a moment of silence after Calvin uttered a series of sacred sentences in an important ceremony called, ijab qabul. His chest suddenly seemed to rumble. His hands that were shaking the hands of his future father-in-law was made to shake violently until sweating.

"How are the witnesses? Right?"

"Well!"

"Alhamdulilahabbil 'natural ..."

The atmosphere around the venue of the wedding reception that was held in a hurry was slowly starting to turn solemn and solemn. Many of the guests and witnesses sincerely prayed for the young couple's future relationship.

Dear. The marriage that should be the intention and sincerity of a good heart, and the greatest happiness that every human being desires, is in fact only a marriage to shed disgrace until the time.

In interjected prayer, Calvin secretly glanced at Naura, who was now his rightful status as his wife.

That girl, no! The woman silently shed tears. Many times he also seemed to wipe her down, hoping that no one would see the look on her face that should be happy.

Finished praying, Calvin and Naura began to face each other. Dress each other's rings, which end with Naura kissing Calvin's back, and Calvin kissing Naura's forehead.

And, yeah.

The free life is over.

A story that begins with a mistake, will it ultimately remain a mistake?

A marriage that begins because of a tragedy, not based on the love and desire of both parties, can it work?

If only that night had never happened, perhaps at this time, Naura would not have had to marry Calvin, whom she had never thought of.

Naura should not have set foot in Calvin's house at that time. Perhaps, the mistake of that night and today's wedding, will never happen.

Speaking of the incident that night exactly one week ago, where both Calvin's parents were not at home. In the middle of a cold, silent night, Calvin is carried home by some of his male friends into the house.

Two male friends who helped break Calvin's body into bed explain, if Calvin had just been nearly framed by someone. And the man put something in Calvin's drink, which caused him to become drunk and unconscious.

At that time, Naura who did not know anything only agreed with the words of the two men. Naura painstakingly took off the jeans Calvin was wearing, to make it much more comfortable.

Who knows. Naura had not yet moved away, something big jolted her body. Naura had not yet turned to see what was happening, her body was so dim that it ended up falling on the body of Calvin whose consciousness was beginning to return, but not all.

At that time, neither Naura nor Calvin, no one opened their mouth first. For a moment, the two looked at each other with different eyes.

As if drugged, right then and there, Calvin pulled Naura into his arms. Not stopping there, Calvin does something Naura shouldn't. And damn, that night Calvin was so excited. Without knowing how tortured Naura is trying to escape from Calvin's grip.

A subtle touch of meekness, instantly awakened Naura from her various daydreams. Scene after scene that night with Calvin, along with his head turned to the side. He looked at the man who had just touched one of his shoulders.

"I-it .. the contract is done, so now-" Calvin hung his words when he heard a long breath from Naura.

The woman who was originally still staring at him, slowly looked back down with her face filled with sadness.

And damn, it makes Calvin feel even more guilty for what he has done to Naura.

There was some eye contact. Until in the next second, a drop of tears again fell from one of the eyes of Naura. To coincide with that, Naura then drowned her face by hugging Calvin's body, right in front of all invited guests.

The atmosphere there then turned boisterous by the shouts of the guests who were cheering on the newlyweds.

Some people think that both are so romantic without a hint of embarrassment. There are also those who think that the attitude of the bride is so rushed, as if she is ready to give everything to her husband.

However, the assumption of all different people does not make Calvin care so it ends up taking a headache. There, he suddenly felt nervous because of Naura who had courageously hugged him in front of the invited guests.

Afraid of reaping various strange speculations, Calvin hugged the slim and tiny body of Naura, which Calvin only realized that the woman was crying in silence.

Yep. No sound could be heard from his mouth. There was only a sobbing for the sake of tears that began to feel soaked in Calvin's suit.

Naura Akmilia's. A woman who never once uttered word for word through her beautiful mouth. Since she had been living in Calvin's house for about a month, Calvin had never heard her voice.

As Calvin knew by his mother, Naura never spoke again. And it's not happened recently. Unless it's been years.

Mute naura?

I don't know. No one from either his mother or his father explained that Naura was a mute girl.

But what if Naura is mute? Her beauty has defeated everything. And maybe, that night Calvin was made drugged also because the face and body sculpture of Naura is so beautiful without defects.

Slowly, Naura begins to let go of Calvin's embrace, when she realizes what she just did. Both of his cheeks seemed to heat up suddenly. The red spray went out as if directly adorning the beautiful face of Naura.

Unconsciously Calvin pulled both corners of his lips, feeling anxious to see the behavior of Naura, either embarrassed or confused, which must have been his face so attracted Calvin's attention.

Calvin's two unemployed hands were raised. Gently attentive, Calvin wiped away the remaining tears still on Naura's face.

Again Calvin's movements invited the attention of the guests. Luckily it didn't happen as well as before.

"Don't cry anymore, the makeup will wear off. The show's still a long time ago."

"Absolutely, Vin! My paper, pleaseee! I need a ceweeekkkk!" The conversation that ended with a variety of laughter that boomed, suddenly made all the attention, not least Calvin who was notice, then focused his attention on the same point.

Irgha, one of Calvin's soothsayers on campus, along with his other comrades in arms, held their thumbs up high. "Tar Malem must have been unboxing, right, Vin?"

"Diem lo!"

"Having a beautiful wife is not to be shy, Vin! Ajaaa brush!" Nino, who is also one of Calvin's sabababat, followed Calvin's all-out flirting.

"Busikk! Nyesel I ngundang lo all! At most people eat doang 'kan you guys!"

"Eeh, I can't do that, Vin! They'll be your friends. Don't do it, ah! Good they're present." Fani, Calvin's mother, interrupts in the midst of an argument between her youngest son and his friends.

Because Fani's words sound like they're siding with Irgha, Nino and the rest of their friends, they all cheer again, not knowing the ins and outs of the reality behind the marriage between Calvin and Naura.

The story of the awkward marriage between Calvin and Naura, begins from then on.
