Getting Married Without a Relationship

Polkadot Shirt 2 (Finished)

A month after the wedding ....

"Damn!"

Dara was aghast, he had misfortune and now it was six in the morning. Quickly he went to the bathroom. This time he must not be late again to the office, since living in Rei's apartment, the distance from there to the office so far. Dara also had to get up early.

After bathing and grooming as necessary, Dara to the kitchen took bread and milk pregnant women in ready-to-drink packaging. The menu will eat in the car. Agus, who had been mandated by Rei to take Dara to the office, was waiting in the parking lot.

Dara ran out, not realizing that it was threatening the fetus in the womb. Iban who witnessed the behavior of his employer was only able to shake his head, and Iban was accustomed to the oddities in the household life of his boss.

Since getting married and living together in an apartment, Rei and Dara have never slept in the same room. They rarely even meet. Every day Rei came home past midnight, Dara was already sleeping, and the morning when Rei was still sleeping, Dara had already left for the office. Rei is very busy with his artistic schedule which was delayed due to his marriage, plus Rei is also busy preparing for his concert in Malaysia.

However, until now there is a disturbing thought Iban, Boss and his wife never slept together even met rarely, but Iban saw in the refrigerator there is milk pregnant women. Is the boss' wife pregnant? Then when did they do it? It's weird, he thought.

Dara pacing around not clumsily in the toilet, he looked confused and like he was thinking about something. Nia who had just entered the tolilet was astonished to see the behavior of her friend.

"Ra, what are you doing?" ask Nia. Dara was shocked.

"Ah, no, I'm just confused. Just called my mom, she said she wanted to have dinner with me and Rei at the apartment."

"Then you're confused why? Ah, yes you can't cook. Just go to the restaurant. Beres, right?"

"That's not the case," said Dara with a disheveled face.

"Then?" asked Nia, now she was confused.

"I'm afraid that my mother knows that Rei and I sleep in separate rooms, I have to temporarily move my belongings to Rei's room so that my mother does not suspect. And we have to act like real husband and wife in front of him. What I'm afraid is that jerk Rei can't come home soon."

Nia instantly widened her eyes, now she was not confused anymore but shocked. Nia pulled Dara's shoulder and turned towards her.

"Ra, did you say that? You slept separately with Rei?" Dara nodded innocently.

"Jeez Dara! For a month you were married to Rei never once did you guys sleep together?"

"Yes, isn't this just a pretend marriage? We got married just because of this kid." Dara touched her flat stomach. Nia sighed while holding her forehead. His best friend is married, but why is he stressed.

"Become, listen to me! Pretending or not your marriage remains legal in the eyes of law and religion. In our religion if you don't serve your husband that's a big sin, you know? How's Rei?"

"We're doing it on the basis of both of us, really. There is no love between us, so why do we have to force ourselves to live a household like the household life of others? And the one most important thing in our hearts is someone else."

"You'll be all right." Nia got upset and went outside.

Dara looked at Nia who came out confused. "Why is he angry?" Dara washed her hands in the sink before going out.

Nia gasped in shock as she came out of the toilet, as she found Joseph standing behind the door. 'Gosh, did he eavesdrop on my conversation with Dara?' his inner.

"Joseph?"

Joseph quickly left the place without saying anything. If Joseph had heard the talk earlier, there would have been something worse, Nia thought. Joseph was devastated by Dara's marriage, so he was the only person from the office who was not present at Dara's wedding.

"Nia, why are you?" Suddenly Dara who was about to come out of the toilet reprimanded him from behind.

Nia was shocked again. "Ah, t__no. Let's go."

Seeing Joseph's attitude like that, Nia was sure she had heard something earlier.

"No, how long are we gonna take to finish this?" tanya Rei who is doing a rehearsal for a sweet valentine show on one of the private television stations. Nino looked at her plastic watch. "An hour."

"We're home in half an hour, tell Fandy."

"Why Rei?"

"My mother-in-law wants to have dinner at home tonight" Rei replied as he leaned against the back of the chair.

"Ban, drink!" exclaiming Rei to his assistant, Iban swiftly gave a bottle of mineral water. Not yet anything Rei was stressed hearing his mother-in-law was going to the apartment. Rei gulped down the mineral water directly from the bottle until it ran out in half to relieve his stress.

When Nino tells Fandy, the Creative Director laughs, understanding that as a newlywed, Rei wants to go home quickly.

"Hey, go home .. It's okay your share is done. The duet with Jovanka we discuss later. Anyway Jov't coming now."

"really? Alright. Thank you, Fan."

"Rei, how's the honeymoon, fun? Well, I'm so happy to hear the news you're married, apparently you're secretly good at choosing a wife, huh? Your wife is so beautiful. Congratulations Rei," said Fandy while showing off his row of white teeth.

"What honeymoon? I'm busy, I don't have time for a honeymoon" Rei said casually.

"Geez, you haven't had a honeymoon? Pity your wife Rei, take it even for one week."

"All right, I'll think about it, you're so chatty" Rei said somewhat regrettably. It's not that he doesn't want a honeymoon, but Rei respects Dara. One hundred percent of the girls would not.

Secretly Nino and Iban smile amusedly at the sight of Rei in checkmatt by Fandy. What honeymoon, sleeping together also never, inner Iban.

Dara knows very well the habits of her mother, with jelly she will definitely check the slightest for kitchen and household affairs, from that after returning home from work, and then after work, Dara shopping to the supermarket to meet the needs of the kitchen because in the kitchen now there is only bread and jam, not even rice. He bought fruits, vegetables, drinks, and vitamins. He was shopping like a man in a trance. Everything that flashed before his eyes he put into the trolley.

Finally six big crackles full of groceries. Agus who drove Dara was up to the hassles of carrying all the groceries.

Arriving at the apartment, Rei had gone home first. The man was shocked to see all the items Dara had brought from the supermarket.

"God! You want to make my kitchen a mess?" exclaim Rei.

"Shut up! Better help me now." Rei sighed in annoyance, but could not refuse Dara's request.

Half an hour of their work is done arranging the kitchen. After the kitchen was finished, they moved into the room, moving Dara's belongings to Rei's room. Carefully arranged so that his mother did not suspect the least. Wedding photos that had been left wrapped neatly began to be installed on the wall.

Iban and Agus smiled amusedly seeing the two masters were very troubled and compact. Seeing the apartment change like this, now it looks like an apartment inhabited by a couple and not the apartment of a single man again.

Rei and Dara were sitting on the sofa exhausted, it turns out that the house can be so tiring like this, Rei thought. As they were sitting relaxed suddenly there was the sound of a bell.

Dara and Rei looked at each other anxiously, they were afraid that the guest he was waiting for had already come. Iban who opened the door, shortly afterwards Iban came to Dara and Rei while carrying a large bag with a restaurant logo.

Rei looked at Dara confusedly, as he felt he was not ordering food.

"I thought you were going to cook. What are all those groceries for?" asked Rei confused at once annoyed.

"Hey, I can't cook. All those groceries are just for me to show my mama, because she'll talk to you if there's nothing in your kitchen. You know my mama's very chatty, don't you? If you are uncomfortable with my groceries, tomorrow you can throw everything, or love all to Pak Agus," said Dara casually.

'Based on the strange girl,' Rei grumbled inwardly.

Rei just found out there's such a woman in this world. Why should he marry such a woman? Though Rei dreamed of a wife like his mother who is smart to cook and take care of the household.

"Hhh it's up to you" Rei said as he stood up and passed.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Mandi ...," Rei replied as he walked in and disappeared into his room. Dara turned to Iban who was looking at her in confusion.

"Daughter, can you move all that food to the plate? And please prepare and clean up the dining table, my mama's coming soon."

"Good, Ma'am." Iban obediently went to the kitchen to prepare everything.

***

It's been eight and a half hours but Dara's mother hasn't come too, outside the rain is very heavy. Did his mother not come because of the rain and forget to tell? Dara and Rei sat anxiously in the sitting room. But when Dara got up going to the kitchen, suddenly there was the sound of a bell.

"Let me open" said Dara. Maybe it was his mother who came. Sure enough it was her mother, Dara saw it on the intercom screen attached to the door.

Dara smiled as she opened the door. "Hi, Ma ...." Amira_his mother Dara_sighs and smiles at the smile of her youngest child.

Seeing that bright smile, made her sure Dara lived happily with her husband.

Shortly afterwards Rei came over to his in-laws and kissed their hands politely. Amira entered while looking at the entire room, as this was her first time to Rei's apartment. His smile expands when he sees the wedding photos of Dara and Rei neatly displayed in the main room or in the sitting room. Under the photo there is a low sideboard that contains all the Rei award trophies in the world of singing or acting, Amira was impressed with all the achievements that Rei has achieved.

"Did Mama drive her own car?" ask Dara.

"Yes," Amira answered while busy researching Rei's trophies.

"Geez, why not take Brother Andi or Brother Alan? Beyond the rain is great, Ma."

"They're busy, baby. Yes, Mama also did not know that the rain would be very large. If the rain doesn't stop and maybe Mama just stay here, your Papa also definitely won't let Mama come home when it rains big like this."

Dara and Rei were shocked. "Why? You guys don't like Mama staying over?" ask Amira wonder.

"Ah, t__no not that, Ma," said Rei clumsily.

"Yes Ma, we're happy to have Mama stay the night, well if Mama wants to stay here, I'll have her room ready" said Dara.

Rei bit his confused lips, if his mother-in-law stayed over, meaning tonight he will sleep one room with Dara.

As expected, Amira went around the apartment and researched the entire room including the contents of the refrigerator while lecturing Dara at length how to take care of a good household. It must be this way, it must be so, it must not be this way, it is not true it should be like this, including giving Dara a message on how a wife satisfies her husband's inner self. Very detailed nothing is missed.

Dara and Rei's throats choked, they felt strange and amused as her mother gave the dishes. Sex education is important, but it's uncomfortable to discuss it with Rei.

After dinner, there was still no sign of the rain easing. Honestly, Rei did not agree that his mother-in-law would stay overnight, he could not imagine how clumsy the room was tonight because he had to sleep with the girl. One hundred percent will not be able to sleep. Although Rei had slept with Dara and had sex, they were under the influence of alcohol, so they were not aware of what was happening.

***

Here comes Dara now. Sitting stiffly on the sofa, in Rei's room which was twice as spacious as his. His mother decided to stay over because the rain did not also subside even though it seemed to be getting heavier and the lightning was earthy.

Honestly, Dara was only able to observe carefully how her room is a top Indonesian artist. Dara was not paying much attention.

Everything is black and white. Beds, bed linen, sofas and curtains are white. While the floor carpet, wardrobe and other furniture are black. Everything looks luxurious and classy. Especially if you see a glass cabinet that contains Rei's collection of items that Dara knows all expensive and difficult to obtain in the country. Not to mention a Steinway and Sons piano that is displayed gracefully near the window facing the balcony, Dara knows it is the best piano brand in the world, and the price is very expensive, too, the cheapest one alone costs around five hundred millions, which causes the piano is very expensive is the quality of piano wood and the quality of sound produced is so melodious, unlike other pianos.

That guy is really rich. Not to mention the luxury cars that are more than one in the apartment parking lot. Dara shook her head, however rich she was, still she was an annoying Reindra. Dara wouldn't be impressed by that.

"Hey, would you like to sit like that?" exclaim Rei from the bed. Dara looked at the man who was already behind the blanket.

"Why? You expect me to sleep in the same bed as you? Don't dream, until death I won't sleep with you. Mending I sleep on this sofa," said Dara ketus.

"As far as you are. But, at least you're wearing this." Rei throws a pillow hard at Dara's face. The girl glared, she could not believe Rei would be so rude like this. 'What the hell does he want to throw a pillow like this? Hold Dara, do not let your emotions be provoked, later you can feel it if Mama hears me fighting with Rei.'

Dara took a deep breath and threw it away at once. "Well, what do you want now, huh? I slept with you there? All right, I'm going there now." Dara threatened while pinching a pillow into the mattress.

Rei was flabbergasted, he did not expect the girl to be so determined.

"H__hey what are you doing? Back to your couch Dara!" exclaim Rei a little scared.

"No! Aren't we married? So what's wrong with us sleeping together. Isn't that what you want?" Dara lay down beside Rei while fixedly staring at the man. Rei suddenly misbehaved, especially when he looked into Dara's eyes.

"Well, hey wake up!" Rei grew increasingly frightened, shifting to the edge of the bed trying to avoid his wife.

Dara was happy to see Rei scared, and it seemed like he would play around for a while to let Rei know the taste. Dara brought her body closer to Rei's body until her chest stuck to the man's chest. Then a smile of victory flashed on Dara's lips.

Rei realized he was being played by the girl, he gathered the courage to strike back. Rei stared intently at Dara's eyes and then his two sturdy hands grabbed Dara's shoulders, then pushed her until now her position was reversed.

Dara gasped in shock and fear, Rei's eyes were very sharp looking at him, he felt like he was being stared at by a savage beast.

His chest and the man's chest stuck together until Rei's heartbeat could be felt by him.

Rei's heart beat very fast. The position did not change until one minute more, slowly Rei's eyes changed, the longer the dimmer was not as sharp as before, like there was a symphony that flowed beautifully in his chest, Rei himself did not understand why when he looked into the girl's eyes his chest seemed to tremble violently.

Dara could not twitch as Rei's hand held onto her body tightly so that it could not shift in the slightest. Slowly Dara was drowned by Rei's deathly gaze until it was difficult to swallow her own saliva. Dara doesn't know why she's like that.

Then Rei felt lost control, slowly he brought his face closer to Dara's face, slowly, until little by little he felt Dara's breath feel warm on his face.

I don't know what demon made Dara close her eyes, like getting carried away. Dara began to feel her lips slightly touching, she knew it was Rei's lips.

However, a second after Dara felt the touch, her eyes immediately opened wide, it was seen Rei was preparing to have a deeper kiss, Dara immediately pushed firmly the man's body to the side, lying to the side, quickly Dara picked up the pillow and returned to the sofa.

Thirty seconds of silence, not a single one made a sound, but after that Rei cleared his throat. "I'm sorry" he said.

"It's okay. We better get some sleep" Dara said as she lay on the sofa. Until this moment Dara's heart is still beating fast. That one-second kiss was his first, and it didn't seem to be just that his heart was beating so hard it almost felt like it had an attack, but because of the man's gaze.

Rei looked at her differently, and he had only seen her this time. There were various emotions in it mixed into one, but it seemed like Dara caught something from that gaze.

'Did Rei love me?'
