Not Love But Married

Just Wait

...Sometimes man can only plan, but only Allah is the One Who Knows what is best for His people. We can only pray, may we live it sincerely on all the lines that God has destined for each of His people....

Rania walked slowly to the empty-looking, open elevator, which would take her to the 11th floor. Today, Rania insisted on leaving for work after a long argument this morning with Mr. Mother and also mama Hanum of course, which forbade her to go to work on the grounds of preparing for her impromptu marriage.

Last Monday with the status of his widow, because from tomorrow she has become the mistress of Arsha Wiguna, the owner of the current number one property company. Rania shook her head hard, trying to shake off the shadow of tomorrow when she had to be with her Boss. 'Astaghfirullahalazim.', it never seemed to be in Rania's mind that she would one day become the wife of her own Boss, The boss who was so stiff and cold to him for five months he worked here.

'Ting. ' the elevator door opened slowly when it reached the 11th floor where Rania worked.

"Astaghfirullahalazim" he said in shock, spontaneously holding his chest against his beating heart.

"Mas Dani, why are you standing in front of the elevator door, ma'am?".

"I'm waiting for you, Rania" Dani said in an excited voice. The look in her eyes looked sad and withered, as the sleepless night thought of the marriage of Rania and her Boss.

Rania lowered her head, then walked past Dani who was still standing in front of the elevator door, towards her desk.

"Rania, do you really want to marry that stone-headed boss?", asked Dani who was following Rania from behind. Rania fell silent, pretending to busy herself tidying up her workbench.

"Rania, if you don't want to or have to, you have to refuse this marriage!".

Rania looked up at Dani with teary eyes.

"Rania... ", Dani was choked to look at Rania who almost dropped her tears. This time she saw Rania crying.

"Sorry, mom. I want to work first. ", said Rania slowly, then continue to tidy up the table that is actually neat.

"Basic Boss Fuck!!".

"Astaghfirullah's... Dani can't say that."

"Why? He's a fucking boss of stone heads! Can it force you to marry her?!"

"It wasn't him who forced it, mas. "

"Keep, who forced you, Ra?"

Rania fell silent, recalling the misunderstanding yesterday morning when Mr. Mother had just arrived from Jogja.

"The father asked Mr. Arsha to marry me. "

"What?! But..., but why ask the Boss to marry you?", asked Dani confused, she until now did not know what reason makes Rania and her Boss have to suddenly get married on Tuesday tomorrow.

Rania shook her head, it was impossible to tell yesterday's incident to Dani.

"Why wasn't I the only one asked to marry you, Rania? I should have just met your parents. ", he said sadly looking at Rania who was still bowed in.

'Ting.', the elevator door opened again, Rania and Dani both turned towards the elevator door, staring at Arsha who had appeared from behind the elevator door.

'Tumben this early has already left for the office?', inner Dani in heart, staring cynically at the arrival of his Boss.

Rania immediately lowered her head, staring at the end of her own shoes to avoid looking directly at Arsha.

Arsha walked up to Rania's desk, ignoring Dani who had been staring cynically at her.

"Rania, Mama's coming to pick you up. ",A,

Rania just nodded her head without looking at Arsha. Earlier this morning, Mama Hanum had called her and said that this afternoon she was going to a Muslim wedding dress boutique to buy a wedding dress for Rania and Arsha. Arsha glanced at Dani who was still silent beside her.

"I didn't pay you to just stand like this, Dan! Where's your report yesterday?".

Dani snorted in annoyance, 'base Boss Gedeg!', not knowing what, if his heart was still broken with the wedding plan of Rania and the Boss of the stone head, still casually asked for a report!. Dani immediately passed to his office without answering Arsha's question.

"Sorry, Sir. I want to talk to Mr. ", said Rania slowly, making Arsha turn to him again. Still the same as before, looking down without looking at Arsha in front of him.

"We talked in my room. ", Rania nodded obediently.

*

"What do you want to say?", asked Arsha who was impatient to see Rania who was still silent.

"Why didn't Mr Arsha refuse this marriage?", Rania asked in a quiet voice.

Arsha sighed softly, 'why?', yes why was she unable to resist him when her Father Rania threatened her to no longer see Andra if she did not want to marry Rania. That was the real reason, but it was possible to tell that reason to Rania.

"Why don't you reject it yourself?", Arsha asked Rania.

Rania looked up at Arsha.

"Because I am a daughter who must obey the words of her parents. "

Arsha was shocked to see Rania's eyes were very puffy, 'Seems to have cried all night', his gaze was sad and absolutely no spirit was emanated that is commonly seen every day.

"If you do not agree, Arsha should have rejected your request yesterday. "

Arsha was speechless, confused about what to say because she could not refuse your request yesterday morning.

"Keep you want what now?", Arsha tried to divert the question of Rania who continued to ask her why she did not reject this marriage.

Rania bowed again, her tears could no longer be contained, falling one by one her own lap. 'Well, how else now?', it's all been agreed upon by two families, not just himself and Arsha, but it's about Father Mother and where Hanum is. There would be a lot of heartbreak if the plans for Sunday morning were cancelled.

Arsha took a tissue on her desk, then gave it to Rania who had been crying as much as she could. Rania immediately received it and took three pieces of tissue to clean her tears that had soaked her cheeks. Then take a deep breath so you can talk.

"We agree from now on, maybe one year is enough to be able to say a strong and precise reason to our respective parents. "

"One year? Exact reason what does it mean?", asked Arsha who did not understand Rania's words.

Rania looked at Arsha with a hesitant look.

"-I mean, we can split up after a year of marriage. "

Arsha was shocked to hear Rania's words just now, her mouth gaping and her eyebrows raised upwards, 'A Rania could say goodbye even before the wedding happened?'.

"Why should it be a year?!", asked Arsha curious about Rania's reasoning.

"Because if it's only six months, I think it's too soon, sir. Our parents will be suspicious. "

Arsha snorted in annoyance, it felt annoyed to hear Rania who like absolutely no desire for this marriage. So he did not like it, until he asked to separate after marriage for one year only. Well, maybe he is very far from the criteria of a dream husband for people like Rania.

"Whatever you want" said Arsha, a little disappointed. Last night he kept thinking about the marriage with Rania which is expected to run like a marriage in general, maybe over time it can foster feelings of love in him and Rania. Besides that Arsha also had time to think that maybe this is the answer to her dreams so far, the dream that continues to make her anxious because suddenly Rania continues to be present in every dream. But now it seemed like he had to bury deeply into his dream, because Rania herself did not want it in the least.

"One more thing, sir. After marriage, I.... Can I and Andra stay at my house, sir?".

Arsha stared fixedly at Rania, making Rania a little frightened because her eyes looked like they were holding anger.

"If it was me who would arrange it. ", he said firmly, this time he would not budge on Rania. What does it mean to get married but split the house?.

"But Sir.. ".

"There is no rebuttal, you know, a wife must obey her husband." Arsha threatened.

Rania immediately fell silent, wanting to refuse but that is the rule of Islam, must obey whatever the words of the husband.

"I-it.., I... is it okay to ask for one more thing?", said Rania glancing in fear at Arsha's face that turned upset.

"What's?".

"Later... what can... Andra and I keep sleeping one room? We're not getting married for real, so... ", Rania was like choking unable to continue with her words.

Arsha smiled obliquely to understand what Rania's words meant by being disjointed for fear of saying it. 'Not really married?', what does that mean? It seemed like this was what Rania was afraid of, getting married and being afraid to sleep with her later.

"We'll see later" he said with a mysterious smile, now that he knows what to do later, there are already many big plans in his mind. 'Just wait for Rania', where maybe an Arsha Wiguna will just give up on Rania's wishes. It looks like the wedding with Rania will be a very interesting thing later.
