The 18 Year Bride
He wants to be loved

"Don't expect me too much."

When I said that, I remembered Mr. N, world history experts who say that life is a long road, there is a lot of history that still has to be recorded. Do not stop or walk at that time, there will be many people you meet and there will be many places to visit, so take advantage of your time. Don't miss a second of opportunity. Because every wasted time is an opportunity for future misfortune.

Elijah is a freshly grown innocent teenager, he will carve a lot of new history, because he is a girl who never gives up so the road is still long. It was a pity that in his life he was forced to marry for his family. Marrying a pessimistic teacher who shuts herself down, a misery that becomes her unfortunate destiny.

“Why?” Said.

“Simple, because I am a person who has no feelings. That's it.” I replied while taking the bag that was below.

“But if I fall in love with Mr. Damian. That doesn't matter, does it?”

“I am indeed a little afraid of our situation now, but I want to live life in earnest. We're married, and I'm your wife. It's all for the future, right? I don't want to regret it later. I will fight to do my best, and make my husband proud. It doesn't matter if there is no love now, I will fight as best I can. So therefore please accept my presence Mr Damian!”

I looked at him again, he stood firm with sparkling eyes. Indirectly I became a little moved, not by the attitude of her that I have often witnessed since recently, nor by her beauty that began to shake my soul. Rather by his courage and determination bear and express feelings with a pure, humble and firm expression. But because of this declaration of love I also feel like I'm on a sharp knife.

From then on, he really proved his faith, by showing his determination and perseverance in learning. Even after the extra class I gave, she still continued to train on matters. As I walked into the kitchen to fetch some drinking water, I saw her figure, she studied beside the window.

“What are you doing?”

“Ah, I'm cooking water. So while waiting for him to boil I tried to practice the exam question from what Mr. Damian taught just now.”

“Solve what you're doing now, the rest will continue tomorrow. It's night!”

“But I've been in the last five questions, baby if you have to miss it just like that. I won't stop until all these things are done.”

“Although it's late?” I said.

He was silent, but his head nodded slowly. Sighing, I quietly leaned back at the base of the kitchen door. Seeing Elijah's persistence I was slightly touched, But sometimes I also felt sorry for him. Why could a girl seem to have such a blazing spirit like this? under the dim light of the lamp, I looked at his figure. The aura of his life flared up dazzling my pitch-black self. Then I pulled the seat in front of him, “Sini.” I said as I raised my hand in front of him.

“Show me, let me check!”

After he gave her his book and pen, additional lessons resumed. I did not think that he was able to answer all the questions correctly, even though the actual practice of this matter was classified as a teri class.

“Ago fast! Wah!”

It was at this time that the thin hair was scattered, and I saw its natural beauty; its facial lines were perfectly balanced with anatomical sculptures. Her lips were pink just like sakura in spring.

However, behind this blazing form of hers, was exposed her grieving expression. I don't know why there is a desire in me to embrace him, even if only for tonight, just so that he is not too heavy to bear the burden. But that wish I had to give up, because I realized that I had no reason for it.

He returned his eyes,

“Do not be too forced, if you are sick the result is also the same as nil.” I said.

Elijah raised his head and said, “I want to fight for the final exam later in the semester, I want to get the top score post so that Mr. Damian is proud, and do not feel ashamed again as a husband for marrying a stupid schoolgirl like me,”

Because of his words I became melancholic, “Segitnya, yes?”

“Yes, because I want to be loved by Mr Damian!”

I trembled at his words, I was silent, silent stiff. What he just said is still clear in my ears. I tried to doubt it, but it came to life again, like the music on the plate playing all night. And how tormented I was when I had to hear it until morning.

“I want to be the wife you expect Mr. Damian,” Resolutely back. “Even if Mr. Damian says he won't open himself to anyone, but I'm sure there's still room for a wife. I will fight for our marriage so that there will be no more regrets for us in the future. I'll give you a warm love like a lantern that burns Damian's frozen heart, one day it will surely melt. I will do my duty as a disciple and carry out my duties as a wife. Isn't that fair sir?”

I looked at him with a sharp look because he felt a bit depressed, did he not understand what he was saying? My mind grew increasingly confused. Then to calm him down I turned out the window, looking at the dim sky filled with gray clouds. Cloudy filled the night, the stars drowned behind the thickened fog. The cold air is piercing. Only the lights that lit up outside gave a bright image to the darkness. In the midst of all that, and all this reality, I felt gloomy and uneasy, not knowing how to respond to Elijah.

We looked at each other again, wondering if something was unexpected. “If it turns out I managed to reach the top ten top score during the final exam of the semester later, will Mr Damian receive my love? Definitely refusing, huh? Damian is so cold. Cruel, cruel,” he said with a stiff smile.

And you are Elijah, you give me love until I melt you, but will you keep your love? I'm afraid of losing after putting the flavor. You're too young, eighteen years old, am I just a part of your long love adventure, huh? Have you ever loved someone else? I guessed in my heart.

“Maybe, could be...” I said.

“Can be what Mr Damian? Accepted or rejected?”

“Can be both.”.

“Good!”

I took my drinking water, it was so fresh. “Come on, we'll solve this problem again.”
