The 18 Year Bride
The Thousand Faces Woman

"You haven't eaten yet?"

Elijah answered only with a head.

"Since when?"

"That morning" he answered slowly. "Lately, aunt Hera always came home early and came back at night, she said because her son was sick. Mama was pregnant, so could not work hard.of course as long as Aunt Hera left, she said, I'm the one who took his place."

I took a strong breath and then replied, "Come on."

Elijah came closer, and I hugged him warmly. I closed my eyes, it was a little bittersweet and stuffy.How much I didn't think about it. It was obvious, I had a hard time, since the beginning of our arrival here either Rinna or father seemed indifferent even not to be kind to my wife, Elijah.

"Eliya?!"

I opened my eyes and turned, right in front of me, the face of the woman a thousand faces, Rinna. appeared with a smile that unfolded like a newly blooming flower. My heart was very angry, his attitude seemed to have happened nothing. elijah who was beside me had a small smile.

"You're okay, right?" tanyakanya.

Rinna approached and hugged Elijah as well.so on, not off.until my body felt very hot and my eyes glanced here and there holding back the dizziness and anger that made my mind drift.

"Sorry yes, because it makes you hassles these few days.mama feels very guilty, especially if Damian misunderstood." said Rinna, accompanied by the rhythm of the beat of my feet on the floor.

"If you weren't pregnant, you wouldn't have the heart to let you work alone in place of Aunt Hera. Mama does not want to rebuke the unfortunate fate of Aunt Hera because her son suddenly got sick. Once again Mama apologized because you became a hassle."

while the afternoon atmosphere that I expected her calm after returning home, slowly blurred in my gaze that began to heavily bear the delusion of the psychopath who was holding back.I momentarily bowed my head, I bowed, then I picked it up again and before long my condition began to fresh.I tried to calm down again, or maybe pretend to calm down again.

"Darad!" Excruciate. "You're an amazing woman with a thick face! how many masks are on your face now?! Elijah is my wife, not a maid. Don't order him all you want! if Hera's aunt had any obstruction, she should have told us plainly.not just to you anyway, did you forget? I'm a teacher, not that stupid.don't think I don't know what you're thinking!!"

"Surely, what am I thinking?"

"You pretended not to know."

carefully and somewhat trembling, I put down Elijah's dinner plate with the rest of the potluck, I stretched my steps as I held Elijah's hand, I led him up to the room.

"Sir?! what was? why do you put on these clothes?"

I kept quiet, just smiled knots then continued stuffing the clothes into the suitcase.

after that, I got up and stood before Elijah. "Wear your jacket, yes, our trip is far away and the night air will definitely be very cold" I said.

he paused for a moment, fixed the jacket he had just picked up from my hand, then said again.

"I'm fine sir, after all Mama said it, right? aunt Hera is sick, I also do not have a problem working at home like this, is not it my usual to do in our house first, Mr Damian himself who saw. Don't think too far, huh? I'm fine."

"Wear your jacket properly" I slapped. "I won't believe it anymore!"

"Don't sir, I beg you. Mr. Damian and the new father are close again.Our family relationship is starting to improve, Mr. Damian has started a career that deserves to be lived.not farming.so don't destroy it just because I help with homework."

usually we understand and appreciate each other, maybe because I was too immersed in my daydreams, or because he was too kind with everyone and circumstances. he clasped my hands tightly together for reassurance, while I looked at the wreath placed not far from the sofa beside the window.it was all still rose, red, white and Lavender two stalks.

"Elia, you got me killed before I died" I said softly.

"You are the cure for my grief, and you are also weak from my stubbornness.I can die if anyone treats you this way, while I can only be silent without doing anything."

while Elijah was down, I continued. "We're going home now, come on!"

"Sir?! Sir?!" sir?!"

why should I accept their treatment of my wife?

why am I going crazy like this?

why do I have to go back?

just below the stairs, my father stood staring at us sharply.Hiding his hands behind his waist.We had stopped at the top, and looked at each other, he said, until finally Elijah and I went down and looked beside him.

"Where are you going?" Rinna's approaching. "Elia's?! Damian?!"

"Damian, if you're angry that Elijah helped you at home.Mama Apologize, you're sorry for asking Elijah for help to make you drink guests. next time you won't let me, will you if Elijah helps, isn't that enough? you guys still want to get out of here? you're just gonna leave 'cause Elijah helped mama prepare a drink?"

"Your brain is empty! Do not act like this is normal and as if Elijah is the cause of all this." I said, then after that I pulled Elijah's hand back to the front door.

"Damians!!!!" dad's squealing from back there. "Little problems like this, no need to exaggerate. do you want to regret like before? bringing up something unimportant, gone years the edges keep coming back."

"I'll never come back! as you wrote in the letter at the time, consider me dead! If no one can accept Elijah here, then don't hope, I submit."

"Get your mouth, Bajah!lgan!" said father. "You get out of here, I'll make sure I can take whatever belongs to your in-laws, never forget, the girl's parents owe me big money. not even his son will be enough for half the price."

How do I get through this kind of intimidation? which husband is capable? who can see his wife is hard again? He has accompanied me so far, but again he must be depressed.

how should I decide?

I paused for a long time, thinking about how hard it was to row between two corals.it was so heavy, that it was as if I had to divide this matter of life with the ceiling of a house that was gray in smoke.
