Ex But Married
MTM 13-Agreement Before Marriage



Marvel drives the car at low speed. The silence that night accompanied their trip to the hospital. Although there was someone other than himself in the car, but realized there was no conversation between them.The corner of Marvel's eyes had caught Celine's face pensive, pensive, the woman who was now getting more and more bold spoke to him like she was thinking about something. What Celine was thinking at this moment, was that obviously the woman was silent a thousand languages did not speak as much as before.


Only Celine knows how she feels now. Sitting alone with Marvel at this close distance still made his heart almost fall. Celine doesn't know why Marvel still dominates her. If it's like this then all efforts to forget Marvel are increasingly futile.


Celine's still wondering where Marvel's taking her. But, he was reluctant to ask because he knew Marvel would definitely not answer his question. Finally Celine remained silent staring at the path they crossed in the silence of the night.


After nearly thirty minutes had passed, they arrived at their destination. Celine wonders why Marvel took her to the hospital.


"Why are we going to the hospital?" celine asked while looking at the milkk health building of the Marvel family. He did not get an answer from his interlocutor.


"I'm like talking to a tree stump whose roots are still buried in the ground." Celine squeaks seeing Marvel unbuckle her seatbelt.


After finishing opening the seat belt that was wrapped around his body Marvel directly facing Celine. He stared at Celine's face intensely, his finger tapping at the steering wheel as if he was weighing something.


The furniture felt heavy exhaling in the air as he humbled himself to convince Celine to marry him. All he did was to fulfill the request of his grandmother.


Celine was still staring at Marvel. The look on his face was waiting for what Marvel would say next.


"You don't want to marry me, do you? I don't want to get married right now either. It never crossed my mind to undergo a household drama that can only make my head dizzy."


Marvel subconsciously hit the steering wheel. Marvel's actions and speech made Celine gasp in her seat.


You idiot! Celine could have thought that Marvel's feelings had changed. It's obvious that it's only in fantasy. Celine could only scrape her hands together to hold back the old wounds that were gaping back. Marvel can't see him as weak like this. Celine tried to act ordinary as if what Marvel just said didn't affect her.


"But for grandma's sake I'm willing to marry you. You don't know that Grandma always asks about you. You didn't know your departure made Grandma's health decline. And now, grandma's in the hospital for hearing you're back, but won't visit her. Grandma asked me to take you in front of her. And just so you know grandma wants to see us get married."


Celine looked down in silence. He feels guilty. Indeed, just to avoid Marvel he broke off any relationship with the family, even though all this time grandma was very dear to him.


"So you blame me? In fact, you know why I chose to leave." Celine remembers what Marvel said when she was drunk. Marvel's spicy mouth has already hurt his heart too much.


Marvel shrugged. "I don't want to talk about that anymore. We better discuss our marriage contract. We'll get married on a deal we'll agree on later. Marrying me is the only way to restore Grandma's condition."


So many words that Marvel said, but what ringed in Celine's brain was a marriage contract. Not to marry him. Poor you Celine, what else could make your life more painful than that? Celine smiled wryly.


"Is there no other way than that?"


"No, but relax this marriage won't do you any harm. We only have to have a marriage for one year. The incompatibility between us will be the reason for this separation later and this marriage need not be celebrated massively."


Celine immediately turned her face, the corner of her eyes had already begun to be soaked in tears that asked to be released. Marvel's words are getting heartbreaking.


"Is there nothing you want to say?" ask Marvel after they've gone silent.


Celine opened the puntu. "We should not interfere in each other's personal affairs." He's ahead of Marvel getting into the hospital without hearing anything else from him.

Grandma's condition is still weak. Moments ago grandma had regained consciousness, but now her eyes closed again. Doctors have banned anyone from visiting Grandma until tomorrow, but Marvel insists on entering the room.


"You go home first. Harry's gonna drive you." Marvel stood beside the sofa where Celine was sitting.


Celine shook her head, not having the heart to leave grandma.


"Let me take care of Grandma. You out!"


Celine answered without looking away from the patient's bed. He was too lazy to see Mervel, even from now on Celine didn't want to say anything. Only Marvel spoke to doctors about Grandma's development. Celine chose to reply to some of the messages Natan sent in her mobile app. Celine feels guilty for leaving Natan at the restaurant.


While Marvel chose to budge, he was already too tired of arguing with a stubborn woman like Celine. Marvel finally came out of the room.


It was almost an hour and a night when Mervel woke up from her sleep. Still in his sleepy eyes he opened the door of the patient room to ascertain the state of the grandmother, once the door opened Marvel's eyes immediately caught a woman sleeping on the sofa. Although from a distance but Marvel can see Celine sleeping with both hands used as a pillow.


Mervel approached Celine, she did not know what made her stand up long enough to look at Celine who was still asleep in her sleep. Celine's face looked shady, her thick, fluffy lips closed perfectly, unlike the usual who always debated her. He suddenly recalled the time when Celine was very considerate and worried about Natan.


"Why should Nathan?" Mervel smiled wryly, notah fate like what was playing with her until trapped in the same situation and person. Nathan! he had long been on the black list of his life. And now that man is also on good terms with Celine. That made him even more angry.


"Ehhmmmmmmm...."


Celine squirms, the evening gown that still wrapped Celine's body can't protect her from the cold of the night. Seeing that Marvel took the initiative to take a blanket that was then used to cover Celine. But, it seemed that the woman's sleep was still not comfortable.


Marvel sat down and slightly raised Celine's head then she placed it on top of both her thighs. Now, the woman can sleep well again.


"Tonight I'll lend it to you" Marvel muttered as he scanned Celine's face in her lap.
