"I'm going to Almira's room." Lirih Deon after that went towards the exit.
The heavy sound of her footsteps began to climb the stairs to Almira's room next to mine. My room and Almira are right next door on the second floor. This is the arrangement that Papa made since we were children and still survives today.
"She's so pathetic, ck.ck..." Sasa murmured but I can still hear.
I felt both my legs limp from embarrassment but in front of them all I tried to look fine. With a few polite words I then took my footsteps away following Deon, huh. I dare not follow Deon into Almira's room.
Along the way I straightened my back so that everyone would not think that I was sad despite the fact that I was very sad. I knew that they would all be looking at me with a look of pity, a pity because Deon always thought about my sister even though I was already his wife.
That is, Deon doesn't really think I exist and maybe he doesn't really think of me as his wife. Maybe this is the best, I can understand what Deon is feeling. She still loves Almira and to her I am only a future sister-in-law.
I cannot protest because I have no right here to speak out. If this marriage continues then I should only act as a good wife even if she really does not consider me, and if this marriage is completed then I should also accept it.
I can't be angry or disappointed because this is the only chance God has given me to get a little closer to the person I love. If this marriage breaks up then I just need to get back into my usual life. And maybe Papa will grant my dream of setting up an orphanage, taking care of and raising children who have lost the love of family just like my pathetic self.
...🥀🥀🥀...
The night finally came to get rid of the sunshine that had ruled the time for hours. Now the warmth is so hard to get because there is no warm light from the sun. Only a slight reflection of the moon shone on this cold night but I was already feeling quite relieved.
Just a day away I've missed the orphanage kids so much. I want to meet them and share the story that today I am very happy. I ended up marrying the man I loved and planned to spend some time with him, when they heard this news I was sure their reactions must have been very uproarious and noisy. Their little mouths will stop at nothing to ask about me with Deon, they show the most honest and unadulterated emotions, I will not hesitate to tell all my secrets if they want to know.
Geck!
Geck!
Geck!
I was shocked to hear a rough knock from my bedroom door. Not having time to think about who the person who had knocked on the door was, I hurriedly walked festively over the doorknob and pulled it.
It turned out that the one who knocked on my bedroom door was Aunt Lara. He stood in front of me with a sinister look in his eyes.
"Does Aunt Lara need anything?" I asked politely, ignoring his unfriendly attitude.
In this house, I was treated like a stepson by them and I was angry because maybe my heart was numb. Rather than being angry, I felt sad because their treatment was very different when dealing with Almira.
"Why can't she be like her sister? Almira is very polite to parents but why is she just the opposite? Cih, he made the family very embarrassed!" Aunt Lara muttered unhappily, whether intentional or not, but her muttering voice was still heard by me.
I let out a long sigh, trying to calm my tangled mood due to Aunt Lara's anger. The corner of my lips practically formed a smile when my eyes accidentally saw a beautiful circle that glowed under the light of the lamp.
This is my wedding ring from Deon, I thought happily.
Cklacks
I turned to the side, Deon just came out of Almira's room. Since going up to the second floor he had never come out of Almira's room. I don't know what my husband did there, I didn't dare to find out or just ask.
"Deon," Call me in a hurry as she walks past me.
The steps are not stopped but a little slower. I was very nervous and tried to take one step behind him. I'm afraid he's uncomfortable with my approach.
"Hem?" He said without looking.
"I. Can I come down with you?" I ventured to ask.
I thought she would reject me but it turned out that my guess was wrong because Deon allowed me to come with her downstairs. I was very happy and could not control the smile on my face.
"Aah?" I was stunned when I realized that Deon was watching me.
Struck by his surprise, my steps on the stairs became unstable and almost fell if Deon did not immediately pull my waist.
His hands felt so real on my waist, so strong and sturdy, this feeling was just like the night that all these reasons began. Ever since that night I always wondered why Deon called my name instead of Almira's, did..do Deon realize that the person in his room was me and not Almira?
If so, then why was he so surprised the next morning when he saw me on his bed?
His attitude shows that he does not remember and wants the night to happen.
"Where are your eyes when you walk?"
