The Time Limit (1)

Prologues

Adel and Sakha attend the same high school in the town of B. Adel's tomboyish appearance and preferring to hang out with men made her close to many male friends including Sakha. They are not classy but follow the same extracurricular.

Their closeness is not only in the school environment, but also outside the school environment. Adel is often invited to Sakha's house which makes him finally close to both Sakha's parents.

When entering college, Sakha had to join her parents moved to the city of J and eventually continued to study there. While Adel himself continued to study in his hometown.

In this college environment, Adel finally met new people who gradually changed it in terms of clothing and habits. There is no more Adel who is a tomboy. Now there is only a new Adel with a robe and a veil that covers the chest. There is also no more Adel who likes to be close friends with men, there is only an Adel who limits his interaction with men if there is no interest at all.

This keeps her at a distance from Sakha. Little by little he began to rarely communicate with Sakha even though previously they still often exchange news or tell each other. Although Adel has rarely communicated with Sakha, his relationship with Sakha's parents is still well established. Even when Adel came to J several times, he would visit Sakha's house. He always comes when Sakh is not home.

Until one day, Mama Sakha contacted Adel to report the critical condition of her Papa Sakha. However, when Adel visits the hospital, he is shocked by Papa Sakha's request to marry Sakha. Adel who had and still has feelings for Sakha finally wants to marry Sakha. Moreover, no rejection from Sakha made Adel think that Sakha also accepted it.

However, after marriage, Adel only finds out that Sakha does not actually accept the marriage. Sakha wants to realize the father's last wish while the lover, always refused to marry him for no apparent reason even until finally lost the news, making him accept the request of the father to marry Adel.

Adel who does not want to disappoint anyone finally continues to run this marriage even though Sakha has given a deadline for her marriage. Wishing Sakha's heart to be open and willing to accept this marriage and also accept her as a wife as time goes on.

" Thank you my wife" said Sakha after she was reunited with her wife.

Adel just nodded weakly. His energy was used to serving his husband.

"I'll take a shower first". Sakha leaves Adel to clean up.

Again Adel just nodded without saying anything. From the direction of the bed, he just looked at the husband until he finally entered the bathroom.

Their marriage has reached the second month, but not the slightest desire Sakha to be able to find Lisa receded. Various ways he did, ranging from asking relatives of Lisa, his friends are also anyone who would know the whereabouts of Lisa. But not a little information he got. They answered not knowing. Sakha doesn't believe that nobody knows Lisa's whereabouts. But he cannot force them. In the end, Sakha can only try her best and hopes to meet Lisa one day.

Gaining her grip on the blanket that covered her body, Adel simply looked at the ceiling of the room. Hopefully tomorrow or the day after, her husband can start to open his heart to her. Prayer was always he said at every completion of his mandatory worship also in one third of the night, every day. She tried so hard to be a good wife. Now, it is only to hope in the heart-turning, so that her husband can forget his past love.

Not long after, the bathroom door opened. With wet hair and a fresh-looking body, Sakha came out. Adel got out of bed slowly, wearing full clothes, and passed into the bathroom.

The flashback

" Don't expect more from this marriage. I was forced to marry you because Lisa suddenly went missing with no news. If I have found it again, then at that moment the marriage is over".Sakha said as they reached Sakha's room.

Adel was silent when he heard it. It froze. Sakha's words seemed to throw off her dream of wanting to get married once in a lifetime.

" Till the time comes, let me continue to carry out my duties as your wife. For whatever reason you married me, I'm still your wife.". As strong as energy, Adel tried not to cry even though his chest felt tight.

"You sure?", Sakha stared at Adel's black bead. "When you know in my heart there is only one name and that is not your name, are you sure you will continue to serve me? Meet all my needs even my biological needs?" Ask not sure.

"I will do it as my servant as your wife. Even if you are forced to marry me there is also no name in your heart, I will continue to carry out my obligations ", Adel replied as sure as he could.

"Then get ready for our first night. Now, I'm going back to the hospital to deliver Mother's order. You rest ". Sakha's message as she passed left her room.

Adel's body finally fell to the floor after his weak legs were forced to remain standing. Her tears are flowing. She thought Sakha would try to accept her presence as a wife even if there was no love in her heart. Because Adel knows, Lisa's name still reigns in the heart of the man who is now legally her husband. However, it turns out that he actually asked Adel not to expect more on his marriage.
