An Unwanted Marriage

I'm the Guilty One

Happy Reading & ''Double 'DREAM

The problems between Gibran and Sabina are not over. But both are aware that the love they feel never goes away.

The musk fragrance is so gentle yet sensu*l spoils Gibran's sense of smell today. Gibran closed his eyes as he inhaled deeply and enjoyed his wife's distinctive scent longingly.

While Sabina was actually not ready to get this close to her husband yet her body said another. As soon as Gibran's hand coiled around his body, he felt like he was going home to where he should be. A place where he feels safe and comfortable.

There is no excess desire, at this time the two just want to let go of each other's longing that has long been burning and unspoken.

***

Sabina awoke when it was dark in the morning, but the sound of the chanting of the sacred verse was over-the-goal.

Gibran's sturdy hands were still coiled on his protruding belly. Sabina raised her face and watched her husband's face. His firm eyebrows, pointed nose and filled lips were tightly clenched. His regular breathing signifies that Gibran is still diving into his dreamland. Wanting Sabina to gently caress the face that was now close to her but she did not have the courage to do so. "Who are you dreaming about right now ?" sabina asked in her heart without being able to speak.

"Build Gibran, it's almost dawn." Sabina woke up her husband by gently rubbing his legs. The usual thing he did first but had disappeared when the two clashed some time ago.

It took Sabina 2 times before Gibran opened his eyes slowly.

"Good Morning" Gibran said in a raspy voice typical of people waking up. A smile was engraved on his lips as he said that. Finally the thing he always dreamed of was to look back at his wife's beautiful face when he woke up too.

"Pa.. morning." answered Sabina stammered. Usually he did the greeting but today Gibran was the first to say it.

"I can finally sleep well after a week of constant restlessness." Gibran said without hesitation, and Sabina honestly felt the same way.

"Now that you're awake, I'd better go downstairs to help prepare breakfast because we have to go home fast. You have to work, right ?"

"Hmm, yes" replied Gibran and Sabina began to move down her bed.

Wanting Gibran to pull Sabina's body away and then hold her tightly with a sense of possessiveness, he realized that there was a little distance still separating them.

***

Gibran came out of the bathroom after cleaning himself and was stunned when a stel of his work clothes was available on the bed. Apparently Sabina asked Mr. Anwar to go home and bring him clothes because it was impossible for Gibran to borrow the clothes of his brother-in-law or father-in-law because of the height of Gibran's body above both.

After getting ready Gibran walked out to the dining room, he was sure Sabina was there.

"Bina, does your husband know about the flowers Andre sent you ?" Sabina's father asked her and it made Gibran stop his steps and steal his hearing from behind the door.

"Certainly know," Sabina replied without fear or hesitation.

"Darling, do you know ? that must have hurt your husband very much."

"I didn't mean to hurt Gibran. There was not the slightest intention of doing that, just that I did not want to hide anything from him so that he knew that Andre no longer meant anything to me. So there's nothing I have to cover for Andre" Sabina explained, and it's like a slap to Gibran.

" That's all you have to do, don't bring people from the past into your married life. Their presence will only be a thorn despite only being related as friends." Sabina's father reminded.

"Relax dad, I can keep my pride. I've been Gibran's wife, I can't do anything bad behind her. Dad don't worry." said Sabina and her father was relieved when he heard that.

"You must be able to keep your husband's heart and trust."

Sabina nodded her head in response.

"Dad was worried when Gibran asked father for permission to make you his real wife. Not because I don't like it but because you're just close as friends without any previous interest. It must not be easy to adapt to each other with the nature and thoughts that are forced to unite. But seeing your affection last night I'm relieved."

Sabina simply smiled in response to her father's words.

"Did Gibran treat you well ?"

"Of course, you don't worry." replied Sabina. He's telling the truth. Although she and Gibran were in poor condition, her husband never flirted or cursed with harsh words. When a big problem explodes, all he does is keep quiet to cool his head.

After the atmosphere turned silent no more talks between Sabina and her father, Gibran also ventured to appear with uncertain feelings.

"Good morning" Gibran said in a slightly trembling voice.

"For Gibran, let's sit down for breakfast first." Sabina and Gibran's father followed suit.

Sabina turned her head and their eyes met.

His views on Sabina were increasingly different, he was more amazed at the attitude of his wife. Does not expose his evil to his father. He was so loyal behind her.

Sabina ended her gaze first because she felt nervous instantly. Gibran was eager to take his wife into a hug and give her many kisses. Then he will express his love.

"Daughter of a beautiful father huh ?" sabina's father asked Gibran. He asked that because he was amused to see how his daughter-in-law continued to look at his favorite daughter.

"Eh, mmm ten. The most beautiful woman I have ever met." Gibran replied stammering and a tinge of red adorned Sabina's face at this time.

Sabina's father laughed faintly hearing her.

"May your marriage always be okay. Indeed, the road will not be smooth, but I hope you can pass it wisely. Mutual respect, mutual trust and forgiveness are key." Sabina's father reminded.

Gibran and Sabina again looked at each other before nodding their heads.

Before long another member of the Sabina family appeared in the dining room to enjoy the breakfast prepared by the servants.

***

Gibran's eyes were fixed on the streets but his mind went back to Sabina and her father's talk and the advice his father-in-law gave him.

He glanced at Sabina who was sitting next to him. His wife was watching the street from the window.

"it's just that I didn't want to hide anything from him to let him know that Andre was meaningless to me. So there's nothing I have to cover for Andre."

"You must be able to keep your husband's heart and trust."

"do not bring people from the past into your married life. Their presence would only be a thorn despite only relating as friends."

Those words kept ringing in Gibran's ears like endless rounds of song.

"Oh my God, I was the one who had been unjust to Sabina. I am jealous of Andre without understanding Sabina's jealousy towards Amanda. Sabina can take good care of herself, but I let Amanda steal a kiss on my cheek. I'm the one at fault, Bina." Gibran lamented while scooping his face in frustration.

"I've hurt him a lot." Gibran's inner heart.

"Gibran, I'm down in front. The car does not need to be put in the yard so you can go directly to the hospital" Sabina said, pointing at the road. Now Gibran is taking Sabina home before she goes to the hospital.

But Gibran did not do that, he still turned his car into their yard. Sabina did not protest, she did not want to bother about small things like this.

"Thank you" Sabina said as Gibran's car came to a perfect stop. She was about to get out of her husband's car but was restrained because Gibran suddenly hugged her tightly.

No words were spoken from her husband's lips but Gibran's shoulders were moving up and down indicating the man was sobbing from crying.

"Gibs... Gibran ? Why are you ?" asked Sabina astonished

"Let me be like this, Bina. Let me hug you." she replied softly
