pov Rain's


SAHH..


Maybe other women will be happy to hear that word at the moment of ijab qobul. But not with me, my tears dripped with the prayer recited by the ruler. Both of my hands looked up, but it felt so heavy to say amen.


I kissed Sean's hand, and then he kissed me on my forehead. I could see his smile on his lips. But I can't interpret that smile. Whether it was a sincere happy smile, or a smile made, only Sean knew.


I can't understand his way of thinking. I think he's a guy who's hard to guess. Even the reason he married me I still don't know for sure.


It may be the reason for destroying Gaza or it may be to restore its good name. For sure, he couldn't love me.


We are married to a 10-gram gold dowry and 100-million cash. Looks like my dowry was lower than the price when I sold myself. Funny enough, my virginity was valued so dearly. But when I got married, I was rewarded cheaper. Miris, but this is the truth.


I remember when Sean asked about the dowry yesterday.


"What do you want to ask Rain for?"


"Whatever you think I deserve."


So he thinks I deserve 10 grams of gold and 100 million. Yeah, well, maybe according to Sean, my price went down after my virginity went missing. Even though he himself took it.


I know as well as women are the ones who do not incriminate dowry. But for a Sean, what is the meaning of 100 million money, if buying virginity alone he brave up to 1M.


Our wedding was attended by a few people. My father, Alan, Maya, Sean's parents, Danu, and two policemen guarding my father and two KUA employees.


I kissed Sean's parents' second hand the first time I saw him. Her mother, whom I don't know her name, doesn't seem to like me. I could see it from his eyes.


Papa Sean, I know his name is Zainal because I work in his company. He looks more friendly than his wife. He touched my head when I kissed his hand.


Next I kissed my father's hand. My chest was so tight, I let him down.


"Good boy, now you're a wife. Obey your husband. Take care of her dignity, stay together when it's good or hard."


I nodded with tears. Mother, I miss you at this time. He used to be very enthusiastic when talking about my wedding plans with Gaza. But in the end, I didn't marry Gaza.


"Please take good care of Rain. Dad put it on you. Be happy with him, stay with him when it is good or hard. I can't be a good father to him. But I hope you can be a good husband to him. Now that I'm keeping Rain's job is done, now it's your job." I said that to Sean with glassy eyes. Handing over a daughter who has been cared for since childhood is definitely not an easy thing. I'm sure, dad is very sad at the moment.


"Don't worry, I'll take good care of Rain. I promise to make her happy."


Oh my God, he said that sounds so sincere. Very clever he acted. Like him he is very suitable to be an actor. Plus his handsome face, I'm sure he'll be a great actor.


After the simple wedding was over, we immediately left the mosque.


My steps stopped when I saw Gaza standing in the courtyard of the mosque. I don't know who told him about this marriage.


Sean, my husband tightened his grip when he saw Gaza. I know what he means, he wants to show Gaza that I'm his wife now.


"Congratulations Rain." Say Gaza, extending a hand. His eyes looked red, it seemed like he had finished crying.


"Thank you." I answered, holding out my hand, to shake his hand.


"Not muhrim." Sean pulled my hand fast before I could reach Gaza.


"Thank you for coming to our wedding. And one more Ga, thanks for letting go of Rain for me." Sean smiled triumphantly.


Gaza threw away his face as Sean said that. Kudua palms clenched as a channeling of emotions.


"Take it well." I think Gaza hates me. But it doesn't seem like it. The proof is that he can still tell Sean to take good care of me.


"No need to remind me, I will definitely take care of him. Oh yeah, I want to tell you too. Never show up in front of Rain again. She's my wife now. Let's go home." Sean immediately pulled me away from Gaza. I looked at Gaza. At the same time, he wiped away the tears. My heart feels sore. Why should this be the end of our love story Ga, why?


...******...


The first place I went was the room. I want to change clothes immediately because I'm not comfortable wearing a kebaya. Today I did not intentionally wear a bun. I chose to wear the hijab because I got married in the mosque and I didn't want to make any trouble.


"So this is your room? really small. Is there AC?" Sean was so angry that he opened some buttons on his shirt and flicked his hands in front of his neck.


"There's only a fan." I replied while turning on the fan that was stuck on the wall of my room.


"I'm so sleepy Rain, I couldn't sleep all night. Wake me up when you're done packing your things." He said as he laid down on my little bed.


"All right." I answered while taking a change of clothes in the closet.


After changing clothes in the bathroom, I saw Sean had fallen asleep. It seems he hasn't slept all night.


I packed up my stuff in that room. After that I cooked for lunch.


"Kok you're alone, where's your husband?" Ask Alan who just got home.


"Sleep." I answered while continuing to cook.


"Good damn it's sleeping this hour." Her mouth with disgust.


"Where did you come from, why did you just come home?"


"From cafe mbak, I'm asking permission to take a day off. Oh, ma'am, are you sure you're moving into her house?"


"Of course Al, now I'm married, so I have to go with my husband. You should take good care of yourself after this. Do not eat late. Don't wander the night. I can't take care of you anymore." I tried to hold back her tears so she wouldn't fall. I think I just briefly regrouped with Alan, but now, we have to separate.


"Don't think Al, Al is big, Al can take care of himself. Al is thinking mbak. Al's afraid he's treating me less well." Al is still reluctant to mention Sean's name even though the man has officially become his brother-in-law.


"Mak's gonna be fine." My mouth while patting the arm.


"Can't you stay here?"


"Can't." Sean answered Al's question with his voice. I don't know since when Sean heard our chat. Know he's been snatching Al's words.


"Rain my wife, she has to come with me."


"Your wife?" Al pulled the tip of his lips "Exactly the wife who was forced to marry you."


I saw Sean clenching his hand. It seems he was offended by Alan's remark.


"Teach your sister to be polite to me." Press Sean while looking at me sharply. I nodded so that the matter would be quickly resolved.


"Let's go home." Sean pulled my hand.


"We ate first, I've cooked."


Although he looks reluctant, but Sean still sits at the table to eat. I immediately serve food on the table. Alan wants to leave, I'm pulling him to be with us.


The atmosphere feels tense. There was no one talking between the three of us. All that was heard was the sound of a spoon clashing with a plate. Every now and then I'm Sean, he looks ravenous. Either because I like my cooking or because I'm hungry.


"Bak said yes to Al. Take good care of yourself." Pamitku after the meal is over. "Don't eat late. If there's anything immediately call mbak." I hugged Al while shedding tears. I actually can't leave him alone. But there's no way I'm gonna ask her to stay with Sean. The two men are like rats and cats.


"If anything, call Al." Pinta Al's.


"Hem." I nodded with a smile. I don't want to worry Al.


"I have a lot of cars, if you want, just come to the apartment." I was surprised to hear Sean say that. I think he hates Al. But it doesn't seem like it.


Al did not reply, he smiled cynically. Where might be willing to accept a car from Sean, just say his name he was reluctant. But I'm grateful, at least my family won't be labeled a realistic family.
