The Hated Husband
Matchmaking

"Bro, today your face is very wry." said friend Jo

Ben

"That's it, don't talk about it."

"Indeed what's the matter, are you just rejected by girls?"

"Not."

"Then what?"

"I don't want to talk about it, my mood's getting worse."

Jo moved off the couch.

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know, obviously I want to breathe fresh air. My mind is completely screwed right now."

"If you don't want to tell a story already."

After leaving his friend's house, Jo goes around on his motorcycle. In the middle of the journey, he almost hit someone else who was about to cross. He immediately braked.

"Yahoo!!!"

"Hey!! Take a look around!!"

"Sister Jo?"

"Really you! Why did I meet you again! Every time I meet you my fate is always unlucky!!"

"Hey!! Don't talk so much!! You're the one who can't ride the bike properly!!"

Jo was silent, and what Maria said was true. Right now his thoughts were everywhere, he was not concerned about driving making him surprised when he saw Maria who was about to cross. Without saying a word he gasped and passed.

"Basar arrogant!!! Good thing you're handsome!! Otherwise I would have thrown pizza yesterday!!" mary shouted on the side of the road

Her night..

At exactly 11 p.m., Maria contacted Dev via videocall.

"Hey.."

"Mary, you haven't slept?"

"I can't sleep, what time is it?"

"Hour 5pm. I'm relaxing, if only you were here."

"If I had wings, I'd fly after you."

Dev laughed a little.

"Then fly into my dreams, I miss you so much."

"I miss you too, Dev."

"Mary, you look sad. Do you have a problem?"

"No."

"Correct? If there's a problem tell me."

"No, I'm just exhausted."

"You must be sleepy. Yes, go to sleep."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Good night Mary, may you have a good dream.. Love you." - Love you."

"Love you too."

Maria disconnected her call, tears dripping down her cheeks.

Dev, if you knew. What happened to me. I don't have the courage to say it. I'm afraid of losing you. I should be willing to leave you and marry a man I don't know.

2 Years later

Maria came to her future husband's house with her father and mother for dinner. Maria looks graceful with a knee-length blue dress and her long hair is unraveled. Once there, they were greeted by a middle-aged man, who was none other than a housekeeper. He bowed respectfully and let them in.

"Why does it feel like something's weird. This house feels familiar." Mary's inner heart

Then a moment later came the prospective in-laws of Mary with her future husband who was walking down the stairs.

"I'm sorry, I should have welcomed you" said Maria's future in-law, Nathan Smith.

"Jo, she's your future wife" the middle-aged man told his son, who was busy playing on his cell phone

"Mary!!"

Mary's daydreams fell away after hearing her name called.

"Sister Jo!!"

"Do you know each other?" ask Mary's mother, Elisha.

"Dad, really, you want to marry me to her?" jo protested while pointing towards Maria

"She's the daughter of a father's best friend, Maria a good son."

"But.."

"Take care of your attitude." said Jo's father with a sharp look

Damnit damnit! Why do so many women have to be him.

***

A few months later, Jo and Maria became married. However, their marriage was carried out secretly without festive celebrations such as weddings in general. That's because Jo isn't ready to announce her marriage to the public yet. He was also afraid that his friends would stay away from him because he was married. His father agreed, and so did Maria's family. Jo's reasoning sounds very reasonable but it's just a lie. The real reason was that she did not want her marriage to be known by anyone, other than that she did not like Maria, nor did she acknowledge her as a wife. It was from this moment that their new life began.

"Well happy to be my wife?"

Maria understood the nature of this man before her was indeed arrogant. Free to argue, he prefers to be silent to hear all his words.

"You're just a toy to me! Don't expect you'll be a princess, you little girl!"

Whaaat! Cute girl! In the past at school I did often wear glasses, because my eyes are easily tired and feel spicy if reading too long. But that doesn't mean I'm a lame.

"You sleep on the couch!" tell Jo firmly

"Yes, brother."

"Don't call me brother! From now on, just say my name! You must get used to it, so that father thinks our household is harmonious! I don't want to impress myself so badly in my father's eyes!"

"Yes brother. Uh sorry, Jo."

"Good!"

Jo's already changed his suit in pajamas. Without caring for Maria who was still standing by her bedside, she laid her body on the bed. Mary silently looked at him who had closed his eyes.

Can he sleep? Didn't his father say that he always took medicine before going to bed, but he's asleep now. Hmm, what do I care. Fool, I better get some sleep now. I'mtired.

Maria then laid her body on the sofa beside the bed, then wrapped her body in a blanket.

Is he asleep?

Jo opened her eyes slowly, she got out of bed looking for something in her bedroom drawer.

Medicine's over! Yesterday's feelings are still there! Well, how's this?

Jo then glanced at his wife who had fallen asleep, slowly stepping her feet onto the sofa. He looked at Maria, then opened the blanket.

This is so ridiculous! Maria, I'm gonna borrow your body. Just one time, just for tonight.

Jo then shifted Maria's body a little more to the middle, then laid her body on the side of the edge. Now facing each other, Jo overstretched Mary's feet, and then wrapped her arms around Mary's waist, she could feel Mary's breath from a very close distance.

Warm. This hug feels warm.

She wrapped Mary's arms around her waist, as if Mary was holding her. Shortly thereafter he fell asleep.

***

It was morning, Mary opened her eyelids. He was surprised to find a handsome man with closed eyes sleeping beside him.

Jo

"Yahoo!!!" mary shouted as she pushed her husband's body to the floor

"Ouch!!"

Maria pulled out her blanket and held it tightly against her chest.

"Mary!! Are you crazy!!"

"I'm sorry! I'm surprised you're sleeping next to me."

"So you're angry because I slept next to you! Just so you know, if my medicine doesn't run out, I won't hug you last night! I had to sleep with you!"

Thank goodness she doesn't like me. So I have a chance to get away from him one day.
