My memories go back to the incident during a power outage a few days ago at my house, as well as the kick earlier this morning. My face was warm with shame.
"Why silence?" dave's asking started teasing me who wanted to run away in shame.
"Ih, use the show all over again, you weirdo." I grumbled in my heart.
"But Dave, we still have to make a contract. Can't we get married and live like a couple in general?'
"Continue?"
"Yes, make a contract with Dave. There must be rules that govern so that we are not careless with each other."
in the heart of "it's good that there's no contract, you can even carelessly ngem-ngancem me every day."
"Oh. I see." answered Dave leisurely as a beard.
"I took a shower first." said Dave again casually as he moved out of bed, as if the contract request I made had never existed.
"DAVE.." half yelled at the back of the man who moved away from me and almost disappeared in the bathroom door.
"Arrrrgh, Dave nyebelin... nyebelin.. why the hell do I have to marry you? My beautiful morning ritual is going to fall apart. Bmliiiiiii!!!!" I rolled over on the bed while shouting out an annoyance in my heart.
"Gue should not be careless and intimidated by the Dave, do not let it happen kayaking in novels with the theme of forced marriage aka arranged marriage where the man usually intimidates women. In the end, they fell in love with each other. Will we fall into each other in the end?" I was monologuing in my heart while rolling over on the bed.
"Don't beg*Cintya, wake up... wake up.. The story takes place in a novel. Loe in real life, don't be shy" I changed positions so sit on the bed while shaking my head many times.
"Cintya, what are you doing? The bed's like this?" ask Dave who just came out of the bathroom, bare-chested. Just a towel wrapped around his waist.
"Aaaa... Dave, get your clothes on. Pollution policy. My eyes will be stained." I protested while pouring into the blanket.
"Pick up the bed." I heard Dave's voice move away.
"Basic nyebelin. It would be crazy if I had to stay with this guy all my life."
I turned my brain back, how to get out of this unwanted marriage.

Dave POV
I still go to the bathroom and mourn my fate. What a pity my fate, waking up instead had to get a sudden kick from Cintya, right in my pride area.
"Don't he know that this is my future capital?" I grimaced in my heart while letting the water speak my body.
From the bathroom I could hear Cintya who was yelling annoyed while cursing many times.
"Huh, you chatty bastard." I replied casually.
While finishing my non-bath ritual during the princess showers, I hurried back to the room. And just like the pollution, the view on the bed really surprised me.
"Why does a bed look like a ship broke like this?" I murmured in my heart while looking at the pillows and bad covers that were scattered here and there.
"Cintya, what are you doing? The bed's like this?"
"Aaaa... Dave, get your clothes on. Pollution policy. My eyes are stained." Cintya yelled at me before entering the blanket to hide her face, complete with her hair still damp and messy.
"Dry your hair first, my God.. Are you really a girl?" I cursed in my heart to realize that Cintya's moist hair was now attached to the bed.
"Tick up the bed." I moved away from there, deciding to put on my clothes immediately.
On the walking closet, I chuckled amusedly remembering the confused face of Cintya while reading the contract earlier.
"Hahaha.so don't be so intimidating." Ocehku slowly.
"It's a good thing I was smart and changed the contract last night. Ah.. good luck thank you for siding with me." I cheered inwardly.
After making sure my appearance looked back to normal, I left the walking closet. Meeting a chatty woman starting today will be the filler of my days. Looks like I have to visit the ENT doctor often, to check my ears later. You understand, how chatty the Cintya is? I still don't think until now, why is Noni so concerned about this barbarian girl.
Dave POV off
\*\*\*
I just finished making my bed when Dave got back to the room. The man looked at me with a soft look.
"What the hell is this?" I swore in my heart as if hearing the beating of the war drums when I saw Dave's gaze.
"Don't look at me like that." I protested in an annoyed tone.
"Why? You're afraid to fall in love with me if I look at you like that?"
"Fell in love with your knee? Your gaze is like someone's so mocked." Throwing a pillow and landing right on his face.
"Basic bars." Dave protested.
"What did loe say? A bar-bar? How do I show you those bars?" I protested in my heart.
"Huh? what's mami here for?"
"Of course to check if your first night is going well or not" Dave replied casually as he sat on the couch and turned on the TV.
"First night? where is there such a thing? Strange thing." I replied slowly.
"Hey, are you calling Mami weird?" dave asked as he greeted me with a pair of eyes hinting at disbelief.
"What's? I didn't mean to." as I smothered my own mouth, realizing that I had just mispronounced this annoying guy.
"So you said it." demanded Dave.
"No Dave."
"I hear you say that anyway" Dave said insistent.
"Here you go, it's up to you. Just do as you please Dave, you're a bitch." I gave up and just replied to her words inwardly as I hurriedly grabbed the hairdryer and started drying my hair.
After about ten minutes, my hair was drier. As a cover for hair care, I apply vitamins to each strand of my hair.
"Ah, done as well." I muttered as I stared at the face in the mirror.
"Dave, I'm done." I reported to the man.
"Sit here." call Dave.
Without refuting I caught up with him and threw my body on the sofa. While glancing at the TV I chuckled amusedly.
"Why laugh?" ask Dave.
"Newly know there is a man watching gossip show." I replied casually while watching TV shows that are reporting divorce cases of famous artists in this country.
"Divorce?" that word suddenly excited me.
"The cave..."
"Yes?"
"One day we'll be like that too? Divorced?" tanyaku.
"Huh?"
"I mean, you know our marriage is without love. Surely one day we'll be tired of this marriage and get divorced."
"Do you really want that divorce to happen between us?" ask Dave without taking his eyes off the TV.
"Of course." I answered enthusiastically while looking at his almost expressionless face.
"alright. I didn't lose anything anyway. You'll be the one with the status of widow and living in this neighborhood. I can go back to Sidney like nothing happened. Divorce seems like it will be a very attractive offer and choice." Dave said with a beard.
His words turned like a hard slap landed on my face.
"What's? What the hell does that mean? Damnit... I think I'm the only one who's going to lose this marriage." Suddenly I feel that divorce is not a good choice, but still with this marriage is not the best choice.
"Contract.we have to talk about the contract." I replied later.
"okay.. the first rule, do not let anyone other than us both know that we do not love each other" said Dave.
"Why should that be?" tanyaku plain.
"You don't want to keep our parents feeling?"
"oh..."
"Second, division of daily duties as husband and wife."
I'm just a mangosteen hearing Dave's sentences. Finally the oral marriage contract was valid after we shook hands.
But wait, is this not wrong? Why is it that the contract we agreed on only reads about the rules in behaving outside the home when facing the opposite sex and the division of responsibilities at home?
"My brain isn't being sabotaged, is it?" ask me in my heart while following Dave out of the room.
