Combined In Marriage

Dimple Feeling

We arrived after about two hours of driving, it seemed like Aunt was waiting for us because when we just saw the house she also immediately ran out to open the fence. I really miss the existence of Auntie in the house only she can be a coolant in the house.

"Ajeng, Auntie's child is getting pretty" I can only smile at her.

"Dimas!" Aunty shouted to Mas Dimas who tried to walk into the house leaving me, I felt even more saddened to see all his treatment towards me.

"Get in with your wife, son, y'all got into a fight?" Aunt looks worried, she must have known everything by looking at our facial expressions, only from the expression of dislike Mas Dimas alone can even be known, he said, though I wanted to hide everything but Mas Dimas very clearly showed our relationship was not good, the man could not be trusted.

Mas Dimas did not answer anything, I could also just shut up. Shouldn't he be the one giving the explanation? Mas Dimas just kept quiet with an expression of dislike, did he not like it to me at all? Despite not seeing me, I knew that expression was meant for and caused by me.

"Dimas, I'm sick you have to do good with your wife, don't show me anything wrong between you two, Dad?" I nodded my head understanding while Mas Dimas still remained silent in his place.

"Bring your wife's suitcase, when you let her carry it herself" Auntie took the suitcase out of my hand and gave it to Mas Dimas, I couldn't see Mas Dimas' expression, I could only lower my head because I felt bad.

"Let's go in, son, your mother and father-in-law are waiting for you inside" Auntie pulled me in and I followed her.

We went into the house not to see anyone there maybe because Mom was treated in her room, Aunt took me to Mom's room, Mother's room was under it seems so that Mother did not have any trouble. We got married in this house because Bibi had to rest enough, Mother wanted us to get married in the village but Dad forbade her because he saw the condition of Mother.

That day Mom witnessed our kabul ijab, she used a wheelchair, she was very weak that day but she looked smiling and happy watching our marriage.

Mas Dimas hugged his mother so tightly he was indeed a child who loved his mother very much.

I crucified Dad he stroked my head gently, I then pointed towards Mom, she smiled at me and I replied. I kissed Mom's hand, she stroked my hand gently.

Mom pulled one of Mas Dimas's hands and made him hold my hand, I don't know what Mom wants to try to do but Mas Dimas did it with no rejection so I just let it go too, I'm glad to see you're happy.

"Dear your wife" Mother spoke weakly, the sentence made me want to shed tears, I was so moved to hear it.

After dinner, Bibi took me to Mas Dimas's room. We climbed the stairs together, Aunt stroked my hands gently and smiled warmly at me, I returned that smile with a very good feeling.

Up in the room was Mas Dimas leaning on the sofa, the man was really charming making my heart now lose its direction, I could only look at him stupidly. My aunt saw me and made me sit on the bed.

"Did your husband really do Aunt's orders? He didn't leave you after Auntie left, did he?"

"No Bi" I shook my head.

"No what? He didn't do Aunt's orders?"

"When you take care of your wife, love her, you can't just give your love to her, Aunty won't accept if you're being unfair to Ajeng" Mas Dimas did not answer Aunt's statement.

"Dimas? You hear Aunt talking?" I was very sad to see such an indifferent Mas Dimas.

"Iya Bi" finally Mas Dimas looked towards Bibi.

"Auntie wants to talk seriously, we don't know until when Sister-in-law will survive, Your father agreed that you guys give grandchildren soon. When you're the only child in the house, I hope you both will,

Ajeng, will you give Aunt a grandchild?" I don't know what to say.

"Well?" Aunty looks so hopeful that it makes me feel bad.

"Well Bi" I was very surprised to hear Mas Dimas agree to the request, would he do it with me?

"Then Auntie's out, yeah"

"Yes Bi"

After Bibi's departure the atmosphere became awkward again, I didn't know what to do. Mas Dimas walked towards the bed, is he going to sleep? Mas Dimas was lying in bed. I lie down after waiting for a few seconds, he lies right next to me, it feels like I haven't felt this air for a long time.

I couldn't fall asleep due to the unreasonable desire in my heart, I wanted to hug her. Am I allowed? Don't know who she's going to make a child with, it seems impossible if she's going to do it with me, is that possible? He didn't even talk to me. Or maybe he'll do it with Sarah? Hah, of course he will do it with that woman, he loves her.

I was quite sleepy maybe because I was deprived of sleep last night, I tried to hold my eyes from closing, but I couldn't help it and I ended up breathing comfortably in a dream.

~Author POV~

Ajeng was already asleep heard from the sound of his small breath that was like a sleeping person normally, while the sleeping Dimas turned his back to Ajeng's body still opened his eyes wide, there was a feeling he could not express. Dimas turned to look at his wife, Ajeng was really asleep like no one would be able to wake her up even though she was admired by her own husband, like on the trip earlier.

Dimas stroked that face, there was a slight sense of wanting to have in his heart. Dimas missed the woman nearby, he was clingy to see the woman who was soundly asleep, Dimas tried to hug and inhale the body that smelled very fragrant. Kissing his forehead, eyes, nose, cheeks, to his pink lips, it felt like he wanted to kiss the entire body of the woman he was holding tightly now.

"Darling, Mas misses you" Dimas hugged Ajeng making the body face him, Dimas kissed the pink lips again look those lips clenched, Dimas smiled looking at him. He wished that the woman before him was his, that she was indeed his in a relationship that they bound but not with his heart.

Dimas hoped that if he was the only man Ajeng had, he would love him very much. Dimas' eyes were so wet given everything he did with the woman that the feeling grew and now he has to let go of the woman despite wanting her so much, she kissed the woman again with feelings that were not described.
