The 18 Year Bride
The Struggle for Love

"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 should I decide?

"Look how you're going to think?" Dad's ejek.

I admired his intelligence and the way he explained his basic thinking to threaten me. He was even more evil than two years ago, although in some ways his fatherly disposition is still clearly visible.

misery has made me, indirectly re-entering his world, while he regained control of my life and world.he loves to control and lead someone, acting as a mastermind.

"If Elijah cannot work at home, you understand Damian! mama's going to do it on her own. There's no need to get into this big deal, right?"

I snorted, then I pulled Elijah's hand back to the front door.I don't care what they said, I don't care what the threat is.Surely, I don't care what it is, I have to get Elijah out of here, the hell that torments him slowly.

but, uh,

she, Elijah, was silent, silent on the spot as I pulled her forward, I looked at her who was about a meter away from me now, she looked down. We fell silent again, immersed in each other's feelings and thoughts.the night was more and more royal with the stars flashing.The night wind began to rustle, even felt tight.

"What is Elijah? let's go home!"

he looked at me biting his lips and I looked at him coldly.We talked to each other through the eyes, while our mouths were locked.

"I want us to stay here, Mr. Damian, please lower your emotions" he said.

I looked at his eyes closer to make sure that he was not messing with his words.His gaze was nimble and poignant because he was no longer able to bear the burden of mountainous feelings.

"Dad's right, don't exaggerate the problem. I'm really fine anyway... "

"Don't be stupid Elijah! do you want to be hurt like you want to be conscious? don't expect too much, 'cause they're not yellow flowers."

he came closer, his eyes lit up looking at me and started sobbing.

It was complicated, until I was silent for some time.I realized very well how upset Elijah was now.he had given up a lot for the sake of his family.

such is Elijah.he is a person who likes to rely on intuition. always obey the whisper of his heart, which he thinks is absolute to follow.he said, intuition is a natural call of the heart that is able to make him act, he said, stay genuine in feeling and thinking and that's how he made his decision tonight.

"Look, the star out there, if God doesn't give a definite orbit, it will falter and then fall.and imagine if every star doesn't have an orbit? this world is about to end.let's just say that me and my family are stars that need orbits so that the apocalypse doesn't happen.because the apocalypse, it's scary.even if we've never experienced it. So I hope, I hope, that, we can both understand. apologize to father and mother.I beg you!"

"Are you sure of your will?"

Elijah nodded, nodding to convince me.

What doomsday has shaken us? We have experienced it, perhaps it can be called a small apocalypse.he is a person, friend, partner, who understands me, not only with my thoughts, but also my traits.I must also consider his will, he said, but as a husband I must also defend his rights in this house.one main thing, do not let me be the cause, a great apocalypse for him and his family.

I hugged Elijah, warmed up and looked for calmness.I closed my eyes to make us more peaceful.

"Okay.pardon me for being a useless husband.I will definitely work harder and make more money in order to pay off my father-in-law's debts to the end." I whispered in his ear.

I opened my eyes again, the first sight I saw was a smiling Elijah, as if he approved of my choice and was happy about it.

I stepped forward, in front of my father and Rinna.

"Okay, we're not leaving here. But, I'm making a condition. First, Elijah is not a stranger here, so whatever happens look at him and respect him as my second wife, respect her as your daughter-in-law.if I find something like this happening again, then don't blame me for thinking we're not family anymore!"

Love is indeed complicated, sometimes there are some times that make us forced to live something out of will. so even a carcass in the middle is no problem.

love is too strange, pretending to be indifferent even more clumsy.he is Elijah, he is like a fallen teak leaf to keep the tree alive.

today, tonight, we finally understand the true meaning of the Struggle for Love.
