Handsome CEO Shadow Wife
I'm the One Who Can't Be Seen
Dhatu woke up on a cold floor, his whole body was sick, but could not beat the pain that spread to the corners of the heart. As a newlywed, she should be happy, but this is the opposite. There was neither happiness nor the usual smile she had on her lips. He lost it all overnight.
Dhatu stood up and was about to clean up. He must be strong and not give up. Marriage is about who can survive and who chooses to go first. He will prove to the man, no matter how hard he is rejected, he will still stand firm.
Dhatu stopped the move. Looked at her reflection in the mirror. The wedding dress he still wears, his makeup looks chaotic, if only there was an audition to be a ghost for a horror film, then he would be immediately accepted thanks to the eye liner that faded and made his face look terrible.
Dhatu smiled, then his laughter broke. The tighter, until his tears fall, the more swift with all the pain that torments the bathin. Never once did she imagine her married life could be this chaotic.
The sound of the door opening made Dhatu immediately shut up and turn towards the door. The man stood there and glanced at her, then walked away. Make it a wind that can be felt, but not seen his presence. Dhatu who did not accept immediately pulled the man's arm, stopping his steps.
"What do you want?"
"Honored Lord Dirga. You can keep cursing and rejecting me, but I want to say that I will never give up" Dhatu said, challenging Dirga's eyes, "I will show you. Without your participation in this marriage, I can also live happily."
Dirga laughed mockingly. "Please do whatever you want." Dirga takes off the rough grip of Dhatu's hand. He stopped his steps and turned the body.
"One more thing, remember that you are just my shadow wife and try not to see your presence. In this house, and in every place I visit. I don't want to see your face. Learn to be a shadow."
Dhatu's heart aches not play, he bites the lower lip, trying to relieve the pain that wipes the heart. A shadow? Is it so worthless of him? His parents just treated him like a queen, then the man who was nothing but a stranger who was just present in his life even treated him like that? What harm? Is this marriage so wrong, that he has to bear all the consequences alone? If this was all a mistake, the man should have refused in the first place. Why accept, if you just want to give hell for him?
Dhatu stared at the soft back that disappeared from his sight. Well, if indeed in this way they can be equally happy, then he will try his best to be the shadow wife of the man.

After being ordered to be invisible. They decided to separate the rooms. Dhatu occupies a room on the lower floor, while Dirga on the second floor of the house. If you live on different floors, it will be easy for Dhatu to settle and hide. Which woman is not hurt when asked to kill her heart in a marriage, but she cannot give up. There is the honor of the parents he guards.
Dhatu knew himself, he was just hitchhiking at the man's house. Then he will continue to do his duty as a wife without being seen. Not easy indeed, he had to wake up early, cook breakfast, then make provisions for lunch himself and Dirga. He did not know if Dirga would eat his hands or not. At least, she did not neglect her duties as a wife.
Dhatu stared at the box of supplies he avoided at the table in amazement. In a short time he could finish three kinds of side dishes, there was a pride of his own that he felt. Maybe this is the greatness of marriage, making work that is considered incapable, can be done easily and quickly.
Dhatu wrote a memo on Dirga's supply box. "Prepare this for. Bring it for lunch. At least, there's still the word 'wife' in your request asking me to be the wife of the shadow. So I have to do my job,"
Minutes passed by Krishna pulled Dhatu's hand who was about to enter the room. "Today there's a standing meeting. Introducing the new CEO" explained Krisna before Dhatu had time to ask.
Dhatu followed Krisna's steps and they arrived at the company hall which is usually used for standing meetings or Thanksgiving events that are often held by the office if their sales target is achieved. Upon arrival there, everyone was already standing in a circle. Dhatu's short body makes it disgusting to look ahead. Krisna, who sees the woman in distress, immediately pulls Dhatu's hand so they can find a comfortable place to see a new CEO who is reportedly young and handsome.
The women in his company have been gossiping about this in the past few days. It is a rumor that continues from one part to another. Which of course makes normal women like Dhatu feel curious.
Dhatu was pecking at his place as he could see some people standing in front, the people who were the focus of the event. In the line, Dhatu can see someone he shouldn't have seen at work.
"Why, Tu?" Krishna nudged Dhatu's arm. Dhatu smiled faintly, then shook his head.
"Mas ... I think I want to stand behind me." Dhatu had to flee immediately before the man saw his presence.
"Udahlah, Tu. It is also difficult to penetrate the sea of people so," said Krisna while lifting her chin, pointing to a group of employees who seemed enthusiastic about seeing the good looks of young men who became the focus of the meeting this time.
"My name is Dirga Sanjaya. The new CEO who served in the central company. Please guide her."
The man's voice stops Dhatu's escape, Krisna flips back to the front, as well as Dhatu. His body stiffened when accidentally his eyes met with Dirga's retina. Dirga himself could not hide his surprise. Dhatu can see the clash of anger and hatred that the man always shows him. The world stopped spinning, leaving the two of them in a vacuum.
Dhatu's body trembled violently, fear creeping slowly and filling the recesses of his heart. Not only at home, so Dhatu must also be an invisible shadow in the office? Dhatu's heart was squeezed. Why did God try this hard? He can pretend to be tough, wearing a mask to cover his feelings, but how to keep avoiding when destiny continues to bring him together?
