Forced Young Marriage

#72

Dicky was silent as he looked at the serious face of Merlin who was beside him at this moment. Because in truth, he understood what Merlin was feeling right now. A very strong hate. Just like she felt for her stepmom.

'God ... Why is that step-name always painful and causes so much trouble for our lives?' Dicky spoke inwardly as he continued to look at Merlin.

"Lin, I know what you're feeling right now. Because of what you feel, I've felt it. Actually, I just wanted to confirm your answer. You are ready or not. Because to be honest, if it wasn't for looking at you as my wife, me and the Prasetya family would've wiped out your papa company from the first time they met."

"Why don't you just do it now? But it seems, it is no longer necessary for you to do, because the papa company is already on the verge of bankruptcy, right?"

"You turned out to be a very strong person huh, Lin. Able to hold all tastes with words."

"What do you mean?" asked Merlin while stopping his steps.

"No point. Just wanted to say, you are able to talk differently to what your heart wants. It's been. Don't talk about it, let's go!"

Merlin was still in his place. He looked at Dicky's smiling face while looking at his face.

"Can he read my heart?" ask Merlin to himself.

"No." Dicky answered quickly while continuing to maintain his smile.

Reach it, the answer made Merlin so shocked not dumbfounded. She did not expect Dicky to answer what he was asking. Because the truth is, what he said just now just wanted him to say inwardly. It is not spoken through the mouth.

"You .... Just now you .. can you hear?"

Seeing the face of disbelief that Merlin showed. Dicky laughed.

"Of course I can hear what you said just now, Miss Merlin. Because you're talking loud and this hearing is still working fine. So, I can definitely hear it very well."

"What-what? Did I just talk out loud?"

"Yes. Sure oes. If not, how can I hear?"

Merlin fell silent. He had no words to answer what Dicky said. Because right now, what he was thinking about was the shame that was enveloping the heart. He didn't know how to get rid of that shame.

Over thirty minutes, all of their affairs had been completed. The hotel handover went smoothly without any obstacles. Because the arrival of Dicky and Merlin only stay to give the signature on the letter of sale only. As for all the affairs, it had been handled by Hero before Dicky and Merlin's arrival into the room.

"Well, now, our business is done. Is there a place you want to visit?" dicky asked as they sat in the car.

"Looks, no. But ... There are some things I want to talk to you about. Do you have time?"

"Of course I have time. Just tell me what you want to say and where you want to talk."

"Just here."

"It's better not to be here. Because in the car is not the right place to talk about problems."

"Then, where?"

"One place. Mr. driver, run the car to Merak's villa. Me and Merlin want to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere now."

"Vila ... A peacock? Where is that villa? Why do we have to go to the villa just because we want to talk?"

"Because at the villa the air is very good for chatting. There's no noise like in the car."

The car continues to go at a moderate speed. The car had been running for almost thirty minutes, but there was no sign that they had reached where they were headed.

Merlin wanted to ask, but he did not approve of the intention because he saw Dicky was busy with his phone. They kept quiet with their thoughts and activities for thirty minutes of travel time.

Tired of the silent atmosphere, Merlin chose to close his eyes so that he did not feel more bored with the journey they were going through. Unfortunately, closing their eyes made Merlin sleep in a deep sleep and did not realize that they had reached the place they wanted to go.

"Young master, young lady seemed to have fallen asleep since twenty minutes ago."

"Yes, I already know that. For that, don't be too noisy. I don't want him to wake up."

"All right, young master. But, is the young master going to stay in this car until miss wakes up?"

"No. I'm gonna move him to the room now. Please open the car door."

"Okay, young master."

The driver does his job as well as possible. Trying to open the car door very slowly so as not to create a sound that can make his young lady wake up. But unfortunately, Merlin still woke up when his body was lifted by Dicky.

"Dicky!" Merlin spoke in shock as he looked at Dicky's face which was very distant with his face. Although it wasn't the first time it had been eye-to-eye with such a close distance, but still, Merlin was shocked.

The shock was created because his heart was beating twice as fast. Trying against the heart not to get swept away, he tried to get away from Dicky even though he knew, it was a little difficult.

"Take me off! Don't fuck with you."

"You're awake? What sort? I just want to move you who sleep in this car. Yes, I waited for you to wake up in the car for hours, but we've reached where we're headed."

"Huh? Ki-we .. have we arrived?" asked Merlin in a stammering tone. He was actually very embarrassed by what had just happened. Maybe he slept, then got angry at Dicky who obviously just wanted to help.

"I'm sorry .. I'm sorry for talking so carelessly."

"no need. I know who you are, Merlin. No need to apologize. Comeondown! We've been here since."

"Huh? Has it been since? Why don't you wake me up when we get there."

"Because I pity. Already, don't discuss it again. Let's get down!"

"Y-yes."

Merlin followed what Dicky said. Get out of the car quickly. Dicky left the car first.

Merlin circulated his eyes when he had completely dismounted from the car. How shocked he was when he saw what was before him at this moment. A very beautiful villa building.

Each wall of the villa has a picture of a peacock painted exactly like a real bird with feathers that sparkle in color. Not only that, ornaments and statues that are at the entrance gate there is also a peacock butung statue with paint the exact color of the original bird.
