My Great Little Wife

Luke Athaya

After finishing eating noodles, Luke and Athaya decide to sit on Athaya's small balcony. They enjoy the view of the streets full of vehicles that pass by.

“ can I ask ? “

“ can “

“ what makes you not as famous as your twin brother ?”

When Athaya heard Luke's question, she fell silent for a moment and thought about whether she could tell Luke her story. However, if he did not tell it, then he would still be burdened for not being able to get his heart out.

“ can you be trusted ? “

After thinking about many things, Athaya finally decided to tell him to Luke, even though they had only met 2 times. However he feels that being near Luke can make him comfortable, it is not an easy thing for him to be comfortable with a stranger but Luke's presence is different for him.

“ sure, I know that you must have a secret and I can be trusted. After all, the thing that has been stuck for many years is better expressed so as not to be a burden in life for eternity “

Similarly to Athaya, Lukas has also done such a thing.Told a stranger who is Devan about his past.

“ honestly my mother did not receive my presence “

“ what is the reason ? “ ask Lukas tersejud.

“ it happened when I was 10 years old. At that time Athala was very selfish, she wanted all my family attention to be on her, so she encouraged my father, mother and older brother to set me up. But only the mother was instigated, from then on my life was very unfair. Mom enrolled me in a regular school while Athala was transferred to the best school in Country A “

Luke does not suspect that there is still a second story of Alana, the difference is that Alana was slandered by the child of her father's affair while Athaya was slandered by her twin brother. Luke even believes that Athaya's case is as sad as Alana's.

“ Athala even started asking my mother to lock me up or even hide me from the public eye. So no wonder if only a few people know my whereabouts “

“ that is so outrageous, are uncle and Tristan not protecting or defending you ? “ ask Lukas.

“ father can not do much, however he loves mother so much that he does not want to hurt mother by defending me. While sister Tristan can not do much because mama threatened to expel him if help me “

“ ago, are they still the same now ? “ ask Lukas curious.

“ I don't know, anyhow since the age of 17. I have decided to stay away from them, I started making money with my sweat and now I can meet my own needs by opening a bakery “

“ you look like sister Ana, she also has almost the same story as you. The difference is, he was hurt by the child of his father's affair while you're your brother “

“ really ? “ ask Athaya.

“ yes, you definitely don't know the story. To be honest the story is a little complicated, he was taken away by his aunt and finally expelled by his aunt for slander from the illegitimate child “

When Athaya heard Luke's words about Alana's story, she immediately understood Alana's cold and unequivocal nature. Athaya did not even suspect that Alana's story was so complicated, however she believed Luke only told her story in outline.

“ no wonder he can grow into a cold and strong figure “ Athaya said.

“ you're right, when someone's on the verge of a disaster. Then he would become extremely strong and mature in just a short period of time. Same with our story both “

“ you mean ? “ ask Athaya.

“ I also have a pretty sad story. But I am so grateful that God still gives me happiness by letting me live side by side with my father “

“ what exactly happened ? you can tell me. Anyway I've told you my story “

Luke smiled as he heard Athaya's words, he was even more comfortable with Athaya's presence which looked like sunshine to him.

“ my mother died while giving birth to me and my father lit a disaster on me, he even ignored me until I was 21 years old. She also decided to marry another woman, her life seemed very perfect at that time because of the presence of her two children “

“ then how can you make peace ? “

Luke deliberately does not tell about the reason for his mother's death and the father's affair. He didn't want his father to be hated just because of his past weakness.

“ looks like madam Alana is very important in the process of your harmony “

“ yes, at first I do not want to forgive him because after all for 21 years. I had to live in a family exile, but everything was done when Sister Ana gave me an advice that I would not regret later on “ days

Athaya smiles at Luke's words, finally understanding that not always people who look okay have no problems.

“ can I ask ? “ this time Athaya asked.

“ please “

“ what has Athala done to you that you seem to hate her ? “

To be honest Athaya does not know and does not want to know about the life of his twin brother, for him it is not important considering Athala is always arrogant and never think about the feelings of others.

“ he rejected my proposal, he even told me that his reason received my love because he lost bet “

“ jeez, why he was cruel it was “

Anyone would be heartbroken by such a reason, Athaya did not even believe that her twin sister was capable of such a heartless thing.

“ she's embarrassed to have to have a ceremony with a guy like me who hitchhikes living with Ana's sister and her husband. She thought that I would never be able to fulfill her wish if we were married “

“ should not he be like that, rich or poor someone in view of his nature is not material. After all, God never differentiates his servants. Many rich people who look like poor because they are not satisfied with the sustenance that God gives and vice versa, people who look poor but have a rich and generous nature because they are often grateful “

Again Luke was amazed by Athaya's simple and thoughtful nature, he even felt that women like Athaya were very difficult to find in this world.

“ do you feel ashamed to be friends with a guy like me ? “ ask Lukas suddenly.

“ what makes me should be ashamed “

“ well, maybe you're embarrassed because I'm poor and can only hitchhike with sister Ana “

“ you can calm down, I'm not that type. In my eyes all look the same and what distinguishes it is its nature, after all poor or not someone is not something that must be alienated, God has given every human life. So poverty is not a shame, but we should not forget to keep trying “

“ you're right, thanks for not staying away from me because of my background “

Luke accidentally tests Athaya, wanting to know how Athaya responds when he hears that he is a poor man.

“ looks like I have to go home because it's late afternoon, thanks for the noodles. It was the most delicious food I have ever tasted “ Lukas said.

“ thank you, I'm glad to be able to make you satisfied “

I don't know why Luke's heart suddenly beats so fast when he sees Athaya's sweet smile. She even called the woman's smile like a calmness that made her life peaceful.

“ oh yes, I almost forgot about it. Can I ask for your phone number “

“ of course “ said Athaya then gave his phone to Lukas.

After Luke enters Athaya's number on his phone, he decides to leave for Athaya.

“ goodbye “

“ be careful on the road “
