Marriage But the Enemy

Marriage But the Enemy
NTM: 5.4



This exhausting day is not over. Even this nightmare is still like escorting me somehow until when.


After performing the prayer service and saying the prayer as the closing of our prayer, Bian then folded the sarong with his alphabet first and without shading aling-aling he immediately landed his body on the bed instead of waiting for me to finish folding this more complicated face first.


I let out a breath. But inside this little brain I was thinking hard. Thinking about how I'll sleep. Because it is impossible for me to actually sleep on his side like we are a real married couple, even though he has prepared an empty place for me to sleep next to him.


Hahh..no, no, no! It's dangerous, Rere! My conscience reminds my brain of my insanity when I begin to be tempted.


"Hey," I turned to him. He was looking at me with deep pain. "Well, you were quiet there? Here to sleep, not tired what??"


I was silent, biting my inner lips. Confused how to behave at his invitation. I wanted to refuse immediately, but I was a bit afraid of Bian threatening me like before. Huh... So what should I do?


My inertia keeps him from staying silent. Bian who had been relaxing very perfectly was now back up raised his body to be sitting and could look at me more intensely.


He looked at me flat. Then he let out a long sigh, as if he knew very well about the implied message of my heart. "Why be quiet? You really don't want to sleep?!"


"Aa.." My brain's dead-end! I'm confused how to explain it! "Aa.. thatu.." I scratched my head, confused. Come on, come on. find a good reason Rere!!


"If you're worried that I'm going to say nothing to you, just calm down, that's not going to happen."


Slowly, my eyes looked back at him. He didn't smile a single time. Even the grin he used to show when he was flirting or lying to me was invisible. His face was serious. And it was visible from the light of his eyes that were shining on me now. Which is really no joke!


"I promise you, I won't touch you even once without your permission." Added again.


I looked at him straight. Even though I went back to the meaning of his gaze, I still continued to believe that what he said was solemnity.


"If you don't believe me, this is." then he looked around for something from his little bag that was lying on the nightstand next to him.


"It's.." he showed me a little thing that I thought was a mini mosquito sting that he had nowhere to get. "You can wear this in case you feel like I'm touching you."


"Although it's in your unconscious state?" My toot.


It was an interesting offer, I know. But still. If I had to sting him with electricity like that, of course I could kill him. Yes, if he feels an electric shock it is only a natural pain. But if it was a boomerang for him how? It could be, because of the shock of being electrocuted his heart became weakened, and then he... ARGH! NOO WAY!!


"If you ask me to sleep downstairs.I'm sorry, just for today, I can't." He answered what I just wanted to ask. "You also feel, right, if the AC in this room is really cold? I also do not understand, remotnya error or how. But it really doesn't work." Evidently.


And because of his words, it makes me curious to also try the remote that he said does not work. I pressed the button many times. The temperature in this room does not change. He's right, this remote might be error!


"I can't stand the cold. You also can't sleep without a blanket in this cold room temperature?" Ask me.


I just kept staring at him while weighing what decision I made next.


"Oh yes, I forgot that there are chairs here that can be arranged. Okay if that's it. You sleep here, I'm in a chair," he broke off one-sidedly after being misbehaved by himself, and then he tried to stand up from his position. Maybe because of my predicament just now that immediately made him take a stance and take the initiative first. Maybe he also thought, I will reject his previous request.


I snorted in annoyance. Not happy, I felt the opposite. By letting him sleep on a hardwood chair arranged elongated and without a blanket was the same as making me a heartless evil human!


I know very well he must be just as tired as I am due to the dense series of events that have been really agonizing all day. The body must be even worse if forced to sleep in such a hard place!


"No need!" Prevent me from stopping his movements immediately.


Now, Bian looked at me with his perfectly standing posture. "Sleep there. I slept next to him," I broke up, then I started to take an empty spot and lay myself down on his back.


"Make it tonight. We can share the bed." I said.


"Thank you." He said followed by a small movement on the bed next to me, a sign that he had now begun to lay himself back there. I just keep quiet creating silence.
