The Husband I Buy
Refusing the Honeymoon

At the Abay family home, her mother and sisters were having breakfast together. They eat lazily and tastelessly without Abay's usual presence,

"Our mother became very quiet there was no Bang Bay" Rayyan said.

"Yes that's right, I feel that way too." Misty said.

"It was not until one night that Abay was not with us" said Mother

"But this is the first time Bang Bay has been away from us, so it feels different."

"It's only temporary, After everything's better Abay will come home with his wife, Never mind, you eat fast and don't let you be late."

Misty and Rayyan nodded and sped up her breakfast.

Mayra came out of the bathroom with her wet hair, Abay who was sitting leaning on her bed looked at Mayra for a moment and turned her eyes back.

Mayra picked up her clothes and went back to the bathroom.

Before long Mayra came back and dried her hair, then Mayra came out without saying anything to Abay.

Mayra heads to her father's room to question what Abay said last night.

Geck... Geck... Geck...

"Come in." said Dad.

Mayra opened her bedroom door and saw her father preparing in front of the mirror.

"Darling, come in."

Mayra walked in and approached her father with a look of disappointment.

"What's the matter, why are you staring at me like that?"

"Did you force Abay to marry me?"

"Darling, Why are you asking that, Isn't that your wish?"

"I want him Father, But I don't want to force him, I want to try my way, Until Abay himself is ready to marry me, Not by forcing and beating him like Dad did." said Mayra who began to shed her tears.

"Darling, Don't cry, I can't see you shedding tears" she rubbed Mayra's wet cheeks from her tears.

"Did Abay hurt you last night?"

Mayra immediately turned her back to her father, Mayra did not want Dad to know Abay's anger at her.

"Say Mayra, did Abay hurt you and say Dad beat him up?"

"No Dad, I just saw a cut on Abay's face and my marriage happened all of a sudden, so I concluded that Dad had hit and forced him to marry me."

"Yes, Dad did hit him, Dad was so upset with him for constantly hurting you, I just want you to be happy Honey, I'm sorry that Dad made the wrong decision."

Mayra took a deep breath and forced her smile.

"Please promise me Dad, never hit Abay again."

Father was silent, In his heart could not guarantee that He would not come back to beat Abay if Abay still hurt his daughter.

"Dad..." Mayra put on a pleading face.

"Yes, I promise." Ravindra is forced to agree to the request of her beloved daughter.

"Now give me the clothes I've never worn."

"For what?"

"Dad, Abay only carries clothes that are attached to his body."

"Oh, Alright." Ravindra pulled out two T-shirts, one shirt, jeans and plain black pants.

"Then I'll call Abay, We have breakfast together, So I beg you, Be kind to Abay."

Dad nodded and let Mayra go.

Mayra returned to her room and gave her father's change of clothes to Abay. Abay just glanced cynically without even touching the clothes Mayra had brought for her.

"It's still new, Dad just bought it two days ago, even Dad haven't had time to wear it, Wear it for a while."

Abay just kept silent regardless of Mayra's words.

"It's better than you keep wearing the clothes that were yesterday, right?"

Abay still kept silent staring ahead with annoyance.

"Immediately change your clothes and we're down for breakfast, Dad and Mom must have been waiting for us."

"I'm not going to say anything to my parents, come on, don't make my dad mad anymore" Mayra said.

Abay took a deep breath and got up from her seat, then picked up her clothes and went to the bathroom. After ten minutes, Abay came out in his father-in-law's slightly oversized shirt, despite Abay's height being the same as his father-in-law's. But the father-in-law's posture is widened to the side compared to Abay's body which looks more perfect according to his age.

They came down together like nothing had happened.

It looks like Mom and Dad are sitting at the dinner table.

"Good morning dear, Good morning Abay."

"For Mom," said Mayra, While Abay just nodded slowly.

"Sit down, baby." said Dad.

Mayra hasn't sat down and given Dad the code to tell Abay too.

"Oh, sit down Abay,"

After hearing her father-in-law's invitation, Abay sat down, followed by Mayra who was sitting next to him.

After breakfast, I gave the chocolate envelope to Mayra.

"What's this?" mayra opened the envelope.

"Honeymoon package," said Mother.

"Room?" ask Mayra happily.

"Yes, your favorite island."

Abay who saw Mayra laughing happily became very upset.

"Sorry Sir, Om... E-e I mean Dad, shouldn't our honeymoon be postponed?"

"Why don't you like it?"

"It's not so, but we'll be taking the semester exam soon."

Mayra who saw Abay did not want him to try to refuse subtly the gift of his father.

"Abay's right Dad, we're so young and we're still in college, we'd better get this honeymoon ticket for Dad and Mom, please,"

"What do you say Honey, you're married, but we're the ones on the honeymoon?" ask Mother.

"Go on vacation with Dad, Dad and Mom long enough not to vacation, right?"

"It seems Our Daughter wants us to go so that she can be alone with her husband" Mother whispered to Father.

Mayra frowned looking at her parents whispering in front of her.

"What are you talking about, what are you and Dad talking about?"

"E-e is nothing dear, we just discussed this ticket issue and We agreed to this ticket for us" said Dad laughing.

Mayra stumbled, While Abay was annoyed by the circumstances that did not make him happy.

After breakfast was over, Abay returned to the room, followed by Mayra behind him.

"Avay..."

"What's? You want to complain because your honeymoon failed?"

"What did you say? You see it all, I support you so I gave you the honeymoon tickets for Dad and Mom.

"You're just pretending, aren't you? In your heart you must be upset that you're not on your honeymoon with me?"

"That's not true Abay."

"then what is true?!" pekik Abay while stepping forward until Mayra's body stuck on the wall.

"What's right! Why do you want to marry me soon? You want me to touch you right away, don't you? Like this." Abay stroked Mayra's face with her fingers.

"Like this." Then stroking behind the ear to make Mayra hold amused.

"Or like..."

"Stop Abay!" Mayra pushed Abay away from her.

"Stop thinking dirty about me, you think my love is just that? Was it as long as I loved you I ever teased you? Ever touched you? Your way of thinking is really narrow Abay." in a fit of annoyance Mayra left the room.

Abay just stared at Mayra's back until the door was tightly shut.

Seriate...
