Forced to Marry a Disabled Girl

Old house

"Sorry ma, Ben who now is not the old Ben, who always relented and followed what Alby wanted, I'm an adult ma, and I have the right to defend what I have now."

"Ben?"

"Quite ma, the Princess is my wife, mama can not arbitrarily determine with whom the Princess should be side by side, after all did mama forget who used to force me to marry the Princess, mama forgot?"

"Ben, you just want the happy princess!"

Ben smiled wryly, "So according to mama Ben can not make the Princess happy, so ma?"

"Ben listen to mama! all this time the Princess has never told anything about you, both bad you always he covered from mama, but one thing you need to know, but, mama knows what you've been doing all this time with Princess."

"What, you know what Ben's household is all about, oh or all this time you sent Ben a spy, right?"

"Whatever it is, you just want what's best for you."

Back Ben smiled wryly, "No ma, mama's not doing her best for Ben, but for Alby."

"Why ma, why is it always Alby who mama prioritizes, why not Ben or Darrel ma!"

"Ben?"

"Ma, ever since I was a kid I've always given up anything on Alby, food, toys, and everything else, including my mom's affection, even to adulthood, he still tried to snatch the woman who became my fiancee."

"Enough Ben, stop! mama's been telling me repeatedly that Alby didn't take your fiancee Sandra, they're both just friends."

"Sweet, my friend said, what kind of friendship do you mean, what kind of cat like male and female, who does not see her brother, friend or not, what kind of friendship do you mean, but they happily wrestled sharing his body."

Hdmk. !!

One loud slap landed on Ben's handsome cheek, until the picture of the fingers was clearly imprinted on his white cheek.

While Maura, looking at her own hands with a trembling body, did not expect that her hands were so reflexively swayed against her son's cheeks.

"I'm sorry Ben, mama_"

"Ben will never let go of the Princess until anytime ma!" ben said with a hoarse voice holding back the cry.

While the Princess, who had been at the door of her father-in-law's office, rushed down with a raging feeling, telling her mother-in-law's guests to wait for her for a while longer.

"K-sister, where's mama?" the Princess asked as if she knew nothing when she saw Ben had just come down from upstairs.

"Why?"

"There's a friend of mama, he said he wanted to go to the venue at Aunt Ati's house."

"Just let it go, let's go home!" ben replied with a voice that sounded so fragile.

"But brother?"

"Back home!" no longer denied, the Princess finally decided to follow her husband's steps, because she knew very well what Ben was feeling at this time.

***

"Whose house is this?" the Princess asked, as Ben took her to the courtyard of a house that looked very old, but still very well maintained, which was located on the edge of the city, and not too far from the house of his parents.

"Grandfather's house."

"Grandfather, Brother Ben still has a grandfather?"

Ben smiled gently, a smile that he rarely showed, even barely seen by the Princess, then one hand outstretched gently rubbed the Princess' hair.

"Darling, my grandparents didn't exist!"

"Then?"

It looks like the Princess who is still loyal to listen to Ben's next words.

"We sit there." embracing the Princess took her to a Gazebo made of wood, which is located on the side of the fish pond with its edges formed like a mini garden.

Both of them sat with their feet swaying, until the tip of their feet almost touched the fish pond below, while enjoying the cool breeze.

"This is adem yes sis!" said Putri again began the conversation with his eyes closed, enjoying the cool breeze that blows under the leaves that come from the trees that surround the old house.

Ben smiled again, somehow seeing the little things his wife did lately made him feel anxious, as well as feeling very happy.

"You likey?"

The princess nodded, "Like it!"

"We can move here if you want."

"Ihs did not move also kali sak, the atmosphere if the mallem must change serem right." replied the Princess shuddered in horror, while looking around, there is no other house here, no other house here, in addition to one old mosque and also the former buildings that have been destroyed, the Princess herself felt confused because she just found out that in this area there is still an empty and green place like this.

Ben chuckled, grasping the Princess' hand, then placed it on his thigh, which immediately made the Princess' body heat up, like electrocuted.

Ben's large, slightly coarse palm was so warm it wrapped up the entirety of his tiny palm, which made him feel so protected.

For a moment made the Princess forget about her anger and disappointment with Ben.

"Do you believe that I used to live here for 6 years" said Ben, who suddenly made the Princess look at him with curiosity.

"From grade 3 Elementary I decided to stay here with my grandparents!"

"Why?"

"There was one problem that made me decide to stay here, after all 12 years ago, the situation here is not like what you see now, baby, it used to be so crowded, harmonious, and calm, but the many citizens who work abroad and have a lot of money, in the end they move one by one, building a house located in the middle of the city."

"I myself used to be more comfortable here, rather than at my mother's house, and met Al_" Ben did not continue his words, turning to the Princess who looked at him confused.

"Not continued."

"Here you go, I don't think it matters, how about we go to Grandpa's grave, you want?"

"Where?"

"Near here." the two went hand in hand to a garden behind the house.

"This is the tomb of my grandparents, my grandfather died while I was still sitting in Junior High School, while my grandmother died when I had settled in Bandung to continue school."

The princess seemed to nod in understanding, with eyes staring at every corner of the garden.

"Is this your grandpa's grandma, or your daddy's sister?"

"Mama, papa's parents are hummed, and both are dead too."

"Who is this then, brother?" The princess approached a tomb with a Headstone that read Ariana Putri Adiwangsa.

"D-he, brother!"

"A-sister, Ben's brother has a dead sister?"

Ben nodded faintly, reminiscing about the departure of the younger brother was such a painful thing for him.

Because it was a beginning where he was hostile to Alby, and a bad relationship with his mother began.
