Marrying a Real Shadow

4. The way you love and the way I hate

The lights were twinkling, everything was very real. I failed to challenge my destiny.

"Why are you doing this? I've banned you from being a superhero in my life. You watch too many fantasy movies" Anna's cigar.

"I didn't attempt to intercept you yesterday. It's just that Meihan was being gentle to break down your room door. He's afraid something bad will happen to you" Rafah retorted in self-defense.

"Are you not worried?" ask Anna then.

"Of course not. I know you must be very upset. I was once in your position, failing to end this boring life. Until Mom finally showed up and said we'd be fine and would have a better life. Then. Everything just happens."

"Oh... Meihan's name? The hero. My distance from my mother is a little more."

Their views were then diverted. The man they just called now appeared from behind that door. He smiled knot.

Anna threw her face away. Rafah reflexes stood up to leave them.

"Are you okay?" he asked with a friendly expression but looked cold.

"I wish you were more friendly" said Anna.

"Do your duty well" he said rudely and threw the flower he carried into Anna's stomach.

Anna smiled bitterly, her expedition broken. He wished that the man really loved him sincerely. It's all a classic story. Everything is still very complicated.

"Wake up from there. Pack your things, we need to go immediately to the family meeting to agree on our wedding date and other plans."

"Their tune is all the more complicated. I feel more comfortable lying here. Just an info that I'm still a patient" he said as he grabbed a bag containing clothes and other equipment.

Finished changing her clothes, she caught up with Meihan who was stepping quickly in front of her like he was in a hurry. Anna looks around looking for Rafah's whereabouts.

"I was hoping you'd kidnap me this time, usually you protect me. Now I'm in trouble. Where are you, boy," he shrieked inwardly while searching for Rafah's whereabouts. Rafah is no longer in the hospital.

When he got in the car he was still trying to find Rafah. His eyes wildly stared outside until he did not realize that in the car he was not only alone with Meihan. There was another girl in the car there who was sitting right next to Meihan. Anna could not see his face. Only his shoulder-length hair was neatly unravelled that he could see. Who is that woman?

A few moments in silence. The girl is now sobbing following the accompaniment of the roar of a car that continues to go at normal speed.

"Have it been, even though the ring was coiled around my finger, I would not let my heart be tied to it either. Until all the deals work out, I'll divorce her as soon as possible. You just have to wait" Meihan said, trying to calm the girl down.

The car kept going. The girl was still sobbing crying like she would not be stopped. Anna just silently watched everything go awry.

"What's my fault? I've asked you to end it all a long time ago" said the girl. "Your parents were even disgusted to see me when they found out about my social status. My parents were just ordinary traders. Without a high-rise company with many employees. Cinderella's story is too old-fashioned to listen to now, why did you drag me here? Do you want to show me how beautiful your future wife is?"

"Kenda.there is no place for him in my heart. Despite her high social status, in my eyes she is just a woman***** that her family grew up with. Even the background of his birth disgusts me half to death."

Anna clasped her hand tightly. The man who suddenly kissed her forehead yesterday. The man who was willing to get wet to lift her from the bath up and help her to stay alive. He even had his first kiss, even though it was just a first-aid kiss. But it was impossible to happen in his life. His past trauma prevented that from happening.

"Down me here!" the door is still sobbing.

Meihan did not care, he instead increased the speed of the car. So they go at high speed. Anna until frightened held on tightly.

"I chose my own way to die, don't drag me in your hostel trouble!" he almost cried, did not accept having to be dragged into their romance quarrels.

"Down me here!" resolute again.

Meihan slightly reduced the speed of the car, he then turned in in a narrow slum alley. They stopped right at an old shop that seemed to have stood there for decades without renovation. The store sells a variety of accessories as well as some basic necessities such as rice, sugar, salt, and some other snacks.

Meihan got out of the car quickly catching up with Kenda who almost got inside the figure without turning to look at him. He walked straight while clenching his fists.

"That thing...!"

Anna was upset at her position right now. Does she now play a supporting female role in the romance of two un-restui lovebirds?

The middle-aged woman who was very similar to Kenda came out of the shop welcoming their arrival. He smiled so sincerely that he saw his son sitting sobbing right in front of him.

"That thing? What's up, son?" He sat down to see his son sobbing.

"The man's wife is Mom!" his screeches.

"Who?" The woman looked towards Meihan.

"What's this about Meihan?" tanyanya.

Meihan just bowed unable to answer him. He was only able to retaliate by sitting down then prostrating under the woman's feet. "I wish Mom could wait for me to pick up Mom's son by my side next time. I'm betrothed to another girl."

The woman was almost at a loss for words. He showed a strict mimicry and then entered the store quickly. The sound of kenda's cry was increasingly heard. Not long after, Ibu Kenda reappeared while carrying a tray filled with salt.

"Go you!" he shouted while taking a handful of salt and threw it at Meihan. "GO!"

Meihan was now sobbing, he was in tears still in a prostrate position.

"Go!" kenda's mother continued to throw him with salt while holding back her cries.

In the midst of the uproar, suddenly appeared a father wearing a worn shirt. He looks like Kenda's father. In his hand, he held a crackle with rice wrap inside.

"What is this Mom? Why did you throw Meihan that?" his tanya interrupts and protects Meihan's body which is still prostrating in their hapan.

"Don't defend him Father. He does not appreciate our sacrifice. He made Kenda cry. Enough of his family to humiliate us. Get him out of here!" throw the woman out very rudely.

The old-fashioned man was silent for a moment when he saw his son screaming in between his tears. His face immediately reddened, he then took the rice wrap in a crackle he was carrying and threw it to Meihan. Meihan's body was covered in food.

"Don't your family promise? We've sold our assets to support your father's company. Are you shameless of coming prostrate here? Even though our money is nothing but we sell our pride to be made a joke by your father and his colleagues! Go you!" he shouted while trying to drag Meihan's body to get away from there.

Anna, who was lazy to know and just watched from inside the car, is now moved after seeing Kenda's father kicking and beating Meihan's body using a beam. Steady, not budging one bit. Stay in the prostrate position.

"Do you feel good about acting like that?" anna shouted that made Kenda's father stop the action. They looked at Anna questioningly.

"Who are you?" mother Kenda asked with eyes glaring full of anger a little wet.

"I'm Meihan's future wife," she replied with a smug smile, somehow the phrase came out of her mouth.
