The widow is my wife
The Establishment of the Agreement

"I want you to hide our marital status while on campus" Chandra said after convincing himself.

Deg

why should it be hidden? inner Luna thought, but she did not immediately ask because she saw Chandra who opened her mouth again.

"We got married because we had to. You married me for damages for my car, and I married you because I just wanted status. Think of our marriage as a symbiosis of mutualism" Chandra said as he stared at Luna's clear eyes.

For some reason, there is a sense of unwillingness to see Luna as afraid of her, and maybe this is the best way for her.

"Then.. What does this have to do with hiding our marital status while on campus? Are you ashamed to have a widow's ex-wife like me? I guess you're a good person who can accept my previous status and my son's. But, it turns out I was wrong." Luna's words made Chandra fixated not wrinkled, he was confused what to answer.

Moreover, the woman who had not even become his wife for a day seemed to be injured, a bloodless wound that was like a wiggle in his heart.

Again, he felt sorry to see Luna like that.

Chandra was just silent while looking down, he could not see the clear eyeballs of Luna who seemed to hypnotize her want to hug him and apologize for his words that had offended him.

am I wrong if I want to hide our marital status. As if for the next three months, when Dad and Mom can go to Indonesia and we have our wedding reception.I just want to give you comfort while with me. I also want to give my heart a chance to believe again with a woman. My heart was once broken, Luna.And I do not want it repeated again.I'm sorry I can not accept all this, Marriage is not a toy. It is not my intention not to admit you, inner Chandra who is now sighing and then straightening his head back while looking back at Luna.

"Sir? Answer me." luna scowled by holding Chandra's arm.

Chandra took off Luna's hand which held her arm, then asked, "You want to know the answer? Why would I want you to hide our status on campus?"

Luna excitedly nodded in response.

Chandra sighed as if he wanted to say one sentence that would definitely make Luna hate him. "I married you because I needed husband status in the company, with the shareholders I invited earlier. And in college, I don't need that yet."

Faced, Luna shed tears without a sound of hearing such a painful string of sentences from her husband.

I considered what my husband is. Jeez. Inner Luna thought about it.

Chandra who was saying that sentence looked straight ahead, did not see that Luna was so hurt and shed tears. Because that is the purpose of looking ahead.

After all, Luna was his wife. His responsibility is great before God. But, he did not want to burden Luna with the status they live now.

"So.. In the company and at home, you're my wife. But if on campus, I am the lecturer and you are my student." continued Chandra again as if not enough to make the heart of Luna is now again hurt.

Luna rubbed her tears violently, she tried to smile.

They do not get married on the basis of love. And she must be ready to accept the decision of the man who is now her husband.

Yesterday, Chandra forced her to marry him. And when she got married, Chandra again forced her not to admit it if they were married on campus.

What exactly does this man want?

The shame? Maybe this handsome and rich lecturer is ashamed to have married him. This husband of hers might be tormented marrying her just to gain her status.Inner Luna while looking at the handsome man next to her.

Luna sighed and exhaled, venturing to hold the back of Chandra's hand to divert the man back to look at her.

"alright.. I will obey your father's request. I know we're getting married because we had to. I'm self-conscious, sir." said Luna, who made Chandra's heart feel torn and is now staring at Luna.

After Chandra looked at her, Luna let go of her grip on the back of Chandra's hand, and said. "Can I ask for one request too."

"What?" chandra asked while looking at the disappointed murat that was clearly reflected in his wife's eyes.

"Why would I marry you if I still let you sell?" ask Chandra who did not answer Luna's request.

"But the house I live in with Mom and Radit I have to pay for. We contracted there, sir.. If we don't pay for it, we'll get kicked out of it. And if I don't help you sell, pity me. He is old." said Luna again with a face full of supplication.

"Do you realize that your mother is old?" ask Chandra again which makes Luna not understand.

Luna still seemed to nod in response because her mother was old.

"Then you want to force your mom to keep selling?"

"What does Father mean?" Luna scrunched her forehead, asking.

"Luna's.. I marry you not only in charge of you, but also your mother and son." Chandra answered wisely hoping Luna understood what she was saying.

And what was Luna's reaction? Was the woman touched by Chandra's response, which suggested that Chandra was so responsible for herself and her family?

Yeah, you guys are right. Luna was touched, obviously the beautiful lentic-eyed woman was touched by Chandra's answer and she accidentally smiled sweetly at her husband, forgetting Chandra's statement that did not want to admit it that made her hurt.

But, if you think of Chandra asking her to hide her status, will their marriage last long?

Luna finally opened her voice again. "But I have to keep selling, sir." chuckled.

*you're responsible for me and Mom and Radit because I'm still your wife. But you don't admit me in public. Does worrying about my future with Mom make me guilty of having to argue with you.

I'm sorry, ma'am, I don't want to dispute that. But this is for our sake*.inner Luna grimaces back to remember the message of Mother which does not allow her to refute the speech of the husband if it does not violate religious norms.

Chandra seemed to think, actually he wanted to take Luna tomorrow to the place where he had prepared for Luna as his wedding gift. Given that he married Luna only with a dowry a set of prayer tools because he only needed the status of Luna.

However, when his wife seemed to urge him to ask permission to sell as usual, it seemed like he had to make a deal with her.

"But, I don't let you sell around like you normally do." said Chandra who made Luna smile a little as if she saw a glimmer of hope.

Hope when later if Chandra divorces him he still has an effort to get back to life with his mother and son.

"If not around I have to sell where? I don't have enough money to contract in a shophouse like most successful sellers, sir."

"I'll give you some capital, just think of it as debt. Because I don't want my shareholders and clients to know that I still let you sell around. What they said later."

"But I don't want to trouble you, sir." said Luna firmly shook her head.

"If you don't want to, you don't have to sell. You know that, right? If denying the husband's command is a sin. D-O-S-A, Luna." Chandra uttered with utter decisiveness.

"alright.. Alright.. I concur. But this time I beg you, the capital for me to sell at the shop does not use flowers, sir." said Luna who made Chandra hold back laughter.

"okay.. Deal?" chandra asked, holding out her hand to mark the agreement.

"Deal." Luna replied to Chandra's hand with pleasure enveloping her.

He was happy because in a moment, he would give his mother a decent place to live.

Because it was night time they also slept in the same bed with a roll, skipping their first night like a newlywed in general.

Seriate....
