Married by Promise

Missed

“Mil, wear your veil” said Arya flat by reading the document in her hand again,

Mila who was tidying up her bed then glanced towards Arya,

“why?, just the two of us, is it wrong if I don't wear my veil?”

“I can't stand to see your face, I don't want to because your face makes me want to do it to you, I don't want to touch you”

deg, deg, Arya's speech seemed like a lightning strike to Mila, only for a moment he felt happy because of the presence of Arya now he had to hear a speech that described as if Arya had no desire to touch him, he said,

‘apa? why?, why doesn't he want to touch me?, isn't I his wife, am I not at all attractive in his eyes?’ his mind held a bitter taste in his chest.

“and also, take care of your face for the person you love, he would be disappointed if you see you open your face to other men besides himself” continued Arya who is still engrossed in her work.

Mila then turned her face away from Arya, she was afraid if Arya saw her who now began to shed tears,

‘does she not want me at all?, does she want to divorce me?, but am I not her beloved wife?’ mila's mind was not careless, the fear of losing it re-emerged into his heart.

“how do you know he's disappointed if I open my veil to you?” said Mila trying to calm down, he voiced as flat as possible so that Arya did not know that at this time her tears had begun to drip.

“hmmm, I don't want if my loved one opens his veil for someone else, so I think he must be like that too.”

and again the lightning strike hit Mila's feelings, the guilt came back and made her heart feel sick,

‘me wrong, I made him hate me, I even opened my face in front of the Arnes bang and covered it in front of my own husband’

While Arya was still acting flat, but deep in her heart, the pain was felt, she was so painful when saying the sentence, she said, but he behaved as flat as possible because he did not want to look sad in front of Mila,

There is an honor as a man that he must take care of, especially during this time Mila was indifferent and repeatedly hurt her heart, especially when Mila blatantly admits to loving other men and tells her not to wish more on their marriage, of course he will feel like a man who has no self-esteem if he still expects Mila to open her heart to him,

‘I must be sincere, I cannot take away his happiness, even if I want it to’ so badly

When the clock was showing at 6am, Arya came out of Mila's room, she stepped up to the dinner table and believed that Vanessa had been busy from the morning as usual, and sure enough, she was, he finds Vanessa preoccupied with stirring up the milk he had prepared for Mila,

“kak” call Arya slow,

Vanessa who heard a male voice calling out to him immediately turned her body facing the kitchen table, which was,

deg, deg, deg, his heart beats quickly to see the figure of Arya, he then smiles happily to see the figure of the man who has been missing for 3 days,

“Arya, you're home?, let's sit down breakfast”

“eeh, yes brother, I want the nanya, brother there hold my room key?"

Vanessa glanced in confusion at Arya,

'who keeps the keys to his room? Milacah? or mother?’

because Saniaah ma'am was the last one to sleep in Arya's room,

“kak don't know the deck, brother no hold the key to your room”

“when do you go home?” vanessa asked Arya

“snight brother, it seems like brother was sleeping when I came home”

“sofa kak”, replied Arya weakly,

Vanessa then shows her disappointed face, she really hopes if Arya sleeps in Mila's room last night,

Arya then sits in her usual chair, they both finally talk as usual, Vanessa is eager to ask Arya a lot of things, ranging from her sister's problems with Tomy, to Arya's work problems, to the problems of Arya's work, and of course also who the figure of Rita actually, why was it that Mr. Sarman match Rita with Irman, what advantages did Mr. Sarman see from Rita so that he wanted to make Rita his mate Irman, Irman,

His intention to ask all that he paused, at least until Arya again felt comfortable living in the house,

After a while, Mila came out of her room, she then sat in front of Arya, the chair she used to sit in, Vanessa then served her milk and chicken porridge to Mila, who was a chicken,

He then also serves a glass of warm tea for Arya and a glass of warm tea for her. Be that morning back as Mila and Vanessa wanted, Mila had breakfast as usual and Arya and Vanessa had warm tea as they were not used to eating anything at breakfast.

“you do not want to try chicken porridge made by Arya's sister, delicious lo” bargain Vanessa on Arya, Arya,

“no brother, you know yourself, I do not usually eat anything if breakfast” replied Arya, he then glanced at Mila who ate while still using her veil, he saw in Mila's eye bead, something was different from that eye bead last night,

“Mil, you are so moody?, when last night I saw you cheery” asked Arya softly, she hoped that Mila would not ignore him again as usual,

“no, I am ordinary, just like last night” replied Mila flatly, she tried to hide the sadness of her heart because Arya's words this morning still echoed in her ears,

‘I just wanted to try to open my heart to you, but why now you like to leave me’ inner Mila pilu,

Arya momentarily breathed a sigh of relief because Mila did not ignore him anymore, she was afraid that Mila's attitude that did not ignore him only applies when in the room alone.

“Mil, you don't hold my room key?, my phone missed in the room” Arya is still confused by her locked room, she said, he wanted to immediately retrieve his simcard the last time he remembered he threw his phone into the corner of the room until it was destroyed,

Hearing Arya's words, Mila thought for a moment,

'wouldn't he be mad if he found out I took his simcard?” hesitated.

“It looks like the key to the room was brought by my mother, my mother yesterday slept in your room” Mila replied slowly, saying,

Arya's eyes widened in shock, there was a feeling of disappointment that appeared in her heart all of a sudden,

‘it turns out she turned out like this because her mother who knew we were splitting beds, she asked me to sleep in her room just because of her mother's request, huh, it's Arya, you've decided to end it all, don't expect anything more from her Arya's inner’ held tightness in her chest from being disappointed, she said,

“Mil, why did you sleep on the sofa last night?” asked Arya who wanted to shift her feelings, but somehow she asked that,

deg,,deg,, Mila was flabby, her face turned pias, ‘I have to answer what?’

“that, me, last night I was looking for you why not go back to the room, but I fell asleep on the sofa when I saw you sleeping there” replied Mila slowly, he would rather be honest than look for other illogical reasons, because that would only embarrass him in the presence of Arya,

“ooh, next time do not sleep outside, later you will be sick, and sorry also because I have to carry you to the room last night, I do not have the heart to wake you” Arya replied casually, he brushed off all forms of Mila's concern for him, because he felt that Mila was doing it because her mother had asked and it must be because her grandfather.it was more or less like that Arya's mind judged Mila's attitude change to him.

Vanessa just silently listened to Mila and Arya talk, she wanted to make room for them to be able to talk to each other, actually she wanted to leave Mila and Arya both, she said, but he felt that if he left it would make Arya and Mila awkward. He was also a little happy because Mila kept her promise to try to open her heart to Arya.

“Mil, you have activities later in the afternoon?, I want to invite you to meet grandpa”

Mila looks astonished at Arya, ‘why did she suddenly invite me to meet grandfather?’

“no, I do not have any activities later in the afternoon, is there anything you want to invite me to see grandfather?”

“to solve everything, we start it in a good way, so we also have to end it in a good way” said Arya who made Mila and Vanessa both round their eyes in disbelief with what they heard from Arya's mouth.
