A week passed, today Ayline and Oswald returned from their honeymoon. A surprise had prepared Oswald for his wife. The 25-year-old woman who had stolen his heart from first sight.
“Mas, this is how my eyes closed gini anyway?!”
Hugging Ayline from behind, Oswald led Ayline closer to the door of a luxury house that was already wide open. “You ready? One ... two ... three .. surprise!” oswald exclaimed as he finally removed the blindfold blocking Ayline's view.
“Mas, ki-we where?” Ayline was confused. In front of him was now lined with many servants clapping their hands to greet him.
Oswald had already closed his eyes since they arrived at the airport. From then on she went to where her husband would take her. He thought, if not to his parents' house, Oswald would take him to the Pallas family residence which is like a palace.
Apparently Ayline's guess was wrong. Oswald took him to a house that was no less luxurious. “Mas, could this be our home?”
“Ya, Baby. Isn't this what you want?” Oswald kissed Ayline.
It was hard for Ayline not to cry. She was overwhelmed by what her husband did. Before getting married, Ayline remembers if her dream was to have her own palace for her household. He once mentioned it to Oswald. However, because Oswald did not respond too much, Ayline decided not to discuss it further. He understood that the position of Oswald, who was an only child, might be the reason they would find it difficult to have their own home.
Apparently, his thinking at that time was very wrong. Oswald recorded every word spoken from the lips of the woman who would become his queen. Then he tried to make it happen.
“Currently, you will truly be the queen of our palace, dear,” Oswald said as she gave a kiss on the forehead and went down to Ayline's lips.
That night after going through an introductory session with the servants, Oswald and Ayline rushed to rest. Before falling asleep, of course, the couple who are drunk romance will not miss the passionate love*n like the previous nights.
...…...
Due to exhaustion the next morning Ayline woke up longer than usual. If during the honeymoon, the handsome face of her husband who will welcome her first time. In contrast to this morning, what greeted him was silence, silence, and silence. There is no handsome husband figure who slept last night holding his body.
“Mas.” Ayline called her husband.
Sometimes he was silent for a few seconds to sharpen his hearing. She hoped there would be a gurgling sound of water flowing from the shower, meaning her husband might be in there.
Unfortunately, silence remains. There was no sound at all in that spacious room. All he could hear was the sound of his breathing.
Where is Mas Oswald?
Why didn't he wake me?
Since when did he leave?
All the questions in his mind, were answered after the vibration of the phone on the nightstand shocked him. Her husband's name is on the screen with a background photo of the two kissing each other.
“Halo, Mas!” ayline exclaimed in response to a phone call from Oswald.
“Honey, you're awake?”
“Hem, I'm up and you're not there,” lamented Ayline.
Hearing Ayline's spoiled voice alone, Oswald had already imagined how adorable his wife's face was now. In his shadow, his wife must have been thieving. His lips will be pursed making Oswald can't bear not to kiss him.
Uh! imagining that, Oswald grumbled in his heart. If there wasn't a si*lan meeting this morning, I might still be under the covers with Ayline. Maybe we'll skip breakfast again this morning.
Oswald chuckled making the woman who was sulking across the phone screech. “Mas! How even ngetawain anyway?! Snatch me,” said Ayline still with its potent mode.
“Sorry to me yes, dear. I had an important meeting with a client this morning. I've been delayed for a long time because of our marriage,” Oswald explained.
“Why don't you wake me?” This time Ayline's mood turned to regret. Ah, she feels useless as a wife.
“You slept really well, honey. I can wake you up.”
“Lain times, you still have to wake me up,” pinta Ayline.
“I want to feel like your wife. Wake up early, prepare clothes and all your needs, your breakfast, also take you when leaving for work,” explained Ayline at length.
“Ssst .. Darling, horrified me. Without doing that all you're still my wife. You love me enough, obey me, let the waiter do it. I didn't marry you to do it all, sweetheart.”
Oswald's explanation left Ayline stunned. Whether she should be happy or how, she was confused as to what her husband should respond to.
“Alright, I will try to understand and follow all your words,” Ayline replied in the end. The sentence ‘follows to me’ becomes the sentence underlined by Ayline. He'll remember that.
“Wake up, shower, then breakfast. Sorry if you had to have breakfast this morning. I try to get back early, and we'll have dinner together,” Oswald said.
“Good, Mas. I will wait for you,” Ayline replied briefly.
“I love you, My Wife. Tell me if you love me too.”
“Yes, Mas. I love you too,” and the phone call was cut off.
...…...
The day was not yet noon, but Ayline was already feeling unusually bored. Two hours he spent opening the suitcase where he put souvenirs for relatives. Father, Mother, and her two in-laws. Although only shoes and bags that he brought as a hand, but the price of the items was fantastic.
“Wow!”
“Wow!”
Unceasingly Ayline clucked in awe, looking at the row of numbers imprinted on the tags of such items. Perhaps this was his first time holding an item at such an amazing price.
Ayline is not from a simple family. Her father was a director at her husband's company. His father's income greatly outweighed the needs of an only child like his family. However, basically Ayline who does not like to spend time. He loves a warm, simple life full of affection and love, which he has never felt. It was Ayline's dream household.
The next two hours he spent watching dramas from Gingseng Country. Rolling around in bed when drama scenes make her shy, or crying when drama scenes make her sad.
After the drama was over, Ayline now had no idea what to do. Every thirty minutes she tried to contact her husband, but his call was never answered. Once answered, Oswald would only speak for no more than five seconds.
“Contact again later. I'm in a meeting.”
Such was Oswald's answer, and Ayline foolishly believed. Until an hour passed, he was still lying in bed staring at his smartphone.
“Crazy! I can go crazy if this keeps going,” grumbled Ayline.
“I'm bored! Honeymoon yesterday, can be repeated again not yes?” his monologue.
Ayline browsed through the contacts on her phone. He realized that he had been wasting his life. The last four years, he was too busy and ambitious to finish college as the best graduate. He forgot that he was still a social creature who needed others as friends so that he was not lonely. During this time he was too busy with studying, studying, and studying. Then, just as he reached his goal, he got married.
Ayline chuckled, recalling her very flat life. “What now am I starting to make friends?” muttered. “But, with whom?”
Ayline twisted her brain. He was thinking of starting to make friends with those around him. “Hem, true too!” yells.
“What are those many servants for if no one can be my friend. “
So under the pretext of reintroduction, Ayline asked the entire waiter to have lunch at the dinner table with him. During lunch, Ayline kept smiling.
The first time he didn't feel lonely while eating. Unlike the servants who find it difficult to swallow their food. What if Mr Oswald knew of this incident, could they blame Mrs Ayline?
...…...
Time passes very slowly. After lunch was over, the quiet returned to envelop Ayline. She tried again to call her husband's phone many times, unfortunately her call was still not answered.
Until nightfall, the moon and stars began to rule in the sky. Oswald hasn't come home yet. Although hungry, Ayline refused to eat dinner. Ayline had originally planned to repeat the lunch with the servants. However, the servants he asked confessed that the mekera had eaten. There are also those who claim to be on a diet program to avoid dinner, and various other reasons.
“What the hell, Mas Oswald! Just look out, if I go home I don't give you rations!” namel Ayline while staring at the screen of her phone.
In his heart Ayline cried. On the first day, he felt very lonely. What about forever?
