Marriage Should Not be Love

There's No Photos

Lala and Nova have packed their belongings.Today Nova invites Lala back to the hometown of Nova and will settle there.But previously they will go to Lala's parents' house to say goodbye. Indeed Nova had talked about this with Mr. Fajar and Ms. Meike when they saw Lala at the Hospital, but Nova had not told exactly when.

Now that Lala is healthy, Nova decides to bring Lala back to her real home.

Meanwhile, Lala is still keeping her distance from Nova.She is holding a ceasefire until Nova explains everything, although Nova not infrequently teases her.

"We go to mom's house first, are you ready?" ask Nova.

Lala just nodded. "We'll just ride the bike." Lala knew that Nova's driver was waiting in front of their room.

"You can't ride a motorcycle until it's completely healthy, after all, how are we going to carry these things if you ride a motorcycle?" Nova pointed to several suitcases that almost all contained Lala's belongings.

Lala looked at all the suitcases and was astonished by herself.

"Why so much? Is all this my stuff?" Perhaps this was Lala's longest sentence after her discharge from the Hospital.

Nova just shrugged his shoulders.

The unraveling of Nova's identity did not necessarily make him change his appearance wearing a shirt or formal suit.He still dressed as usual, like most young people.As it is today, he still dressed as well, he only wore jeans and hoodie.Only his attitude changed slightly.He became more dominant and more assertive.

"Everything?" Nova made sure no items were left behind.Lala nodded.

Lala's eyes still look red after a while leaving her parents' house.So she cried when saying goodbye as if she would not meet them again.Indeed Lala's whole life has never lived far from her parents.

"It's .. later we can still visit the father and mother." Nova tries to calm Lala's feelings.

Lala was still lazy to talk to Nova.Lala kept quiet until finally fell asleep during the trip.

Nova's car has arrived in the courtyard of a luxury house surrounded by a stretch of green grass.The car has stopped but Lala is still asleep.Nova did not have the heart to wake her so she accompanied Lala in the car.After a while Lala woke up and look around through the car glass.

Then he looked at Nova who was now beside him.

"Why not wake me up?" lala asked with a special face waking up.

Nova smiled "You slept very well, I did not have the heart to wake you.I could have carried you earlier, but surely you would have been angry at me if you had woken up."

Lala's face grew sullen.

"Are you going to get off, or stay in the car? Or do I have to carry you into the house?" ask Nova with a dirty smile.

"No need!" lala replied grumbling.She immediately got out of the car and left Nova who had been faithful to accompany her.

Inside the house Lala's smile was seeing Oma already welcoming her.

"How are you doing, Oma?" lala asked while hugging Oma Rusdi.

"I'm good Lala ... Are you healthy?" Oma returned Lala's embrace. "Sorry Oma can't see you."

"It's okay Oma, I'm healthy now."

Lala knew the brat Oma meant was Nova.

"It's Oma, it's okay.She's already apologized to me ... " Lala stopped her words.

"She's too much, you even have to go to the hospital." Oma Rusdi has started to nag."You recall? She even introduced Oma to you as a maid in this house."

"But I haven't forgiven Oma, she should take my punishment first," Lala said with a mischievous smile.

Oma Rusdi smiled, "You better give him a severe punishment."

"I heard it all," Nova said flatly as she walked closer to the two of them. "Let's go to the room first, you have to take a break."

Lala rounded her eyes hearing Nova's voice.She thought Nova was still outside.

"Nova right .. there rest first in the room.Let's still chat again."

"But I was sleeping earlier during the trip ..." Lala tried to refuse.

"Do I need to carry it?" Nova started again with his mischievous smile.

"I'll excuse you, Oma" Lala did not argue anymore.

Oma did not answer Lala.She was stunned, her tears almost dripped seeing Nova can smile like that.So long ago Oma did not see Nova smiling ignorantly like before, almost never after the death of her parents.

Have you gone back to being the old Nova? inner Oma Rusdi.

Nova and Lala have entered into the room.The atmosphere of this room is different from the room that used to be in Lala when he first visited here.Lala looked around.Seeing from the interior design, the, Lala can guess that this is Nova's room.

"This is your room?" asked Lala to make sure.Nova just nodded.

"Then the room I was in?"

"That's a special room for guests."

"Rest ...We'll talk a lot tonight" Nova said, then left Lala.

"Why is it tonight?" grouse Lala.

Finally Lala lay on the mattress while observing the room he occupied.There are only a few photos of Nova placed on the nightstand.Sama absolutely no photos of his parents, both parents, moreover, the photo of Nova with other women who had previously thought Lala was Nova's first wife.

All this makes Lala wonder, how bad the relationship of Nova and her parents was before they died.Or maybe their death left a deep trauma for Nova considering they both died in a tragic way.

I have to ask her everything later tonight, but if the reason Nova lied to everyone was because of the death of her parents, would I have the heart to ask her that later? Will I bear to explore the past he's so hard-earned to forget? Do I have no empathy?

Finally a sense of uneasiness enveloped Lala's feelings.What is true Nova as bad as he thought before.Now that his anger has reduced, Lala can think clearly.He began to try to understand everything not just from his own side, but from his own side, but also from the Nova side.

The fact that her husband is very rich is a little tempting, but Lala is more focused on the reason why her husband lies to everyone about who she is.He is afraid the truth behind everything will be more painful to accept.Lies are still lies whatever the reason.
