Not Love But Married

Introductions

Rania stood in front of the door, silent and hesitant to enter the room in front of her. In his left hand there is a small tray that is available warm tea and homemade pastries that he will give to Arsha who is now in the room. He was a little forced to move Arsha to the room for fear that her stomach pain will get worse, after thinking that Arsha might also catch a cold because all night forced to sleep on the family room sofa. If you remember the incident last night and also the tragedy of breakfast earlier, Rania became more embarrassed and very guilty because just last night became a wife and even made her own husband suffer.

' Husband.', Rania's right hand held her chest which suddenly thumped even tighter. Inevitably, now she must accept the fact that she is officially and legally fully owned by her husband. It is the duty of a wife that she should be ready to serve her own husband. Although there is still a very heavy sense to be able to accept a marriage that is almost never thought before in his mind.

Rania took a deep breath, trying to gather strength back before turning the handle of the room door. Slowly, Rania turned the door handle for fear of interrupting if it turns out that Arsha was sleeping in the room.

Turns out Rania's guess was wrong, Arsha is now sitting sweetly leaning on the head of the bed while playing her phone. The eagle's eyes turned from the phone screen in his hand to Rania's face which was now slowly approaching the bed. His appearance was still the same as last night, wearing his oversize t-shirt and leather pants that completely submerged his little legs, not missing his head still covered in a small towel covering his hair.

" Mr. Arsha, this is warm tea and pastries" said Rania as soon as she reached the bedside.

" You made it yourself? ", asked Arsha curious to see a thick cream-colored pastry on a plate that is still somewhat billowing smoke on it.

" Yes, I made my own. Sorry if it doesn't taste good.".

Arsha smiled at Rania who was now bowed between fear and embarrassment to her. " It looks good, what's the cake called? ", asked Arsha trying to break the sudden awkwardness created between the two of them.

" This almond cheesy cookies, Andra's favorite snack when relaxing at home. I'm sorry I can only make food that you like. "

" Okay, no problem, I like cookies like that too."

" Is his stomach still hurting? ", asked Rania hesitantly, it seems that if you see the expression of Arsha's calm face should have gone his stomach pain.

" Oh...my stomach is fine now, you don't have to worry, I do often experience things like that. ".

Behind the burly body and his haughty attitude in the office turned out to be Arsha who had serious problems with his stomach until the stock of gastric medicine in the closet is very complete from a small dose of medium to heavy. Is it possible because his diet so far is not regular, or has a history of stomach pain from a long time ago?. I don't know, Rania just got to know the figure of Arsha a few months ago, that was limited to working relationships, for personal problems Rania did not know and did not want to know, and did not want to know, given Arsha's cold attitude when she was in office.

" I just put it here, sir. "

" Wait!! Don't put it there. "

Rania straightened her body that had been bent when she would put a tray on the nightstand next to the bed. Then looked at Arsha with a confused expression.

" Emm.. Rania do you want to accompany me to eat that cake? ", ask Arsha hesitantly.

Rania just fell silent confused not to understand what Arsha said.

" I want us to have a casual conversation there. ", point Arsha to the small room outside the big glass window by the bed. The room is designed minimalist but still impressed luxurious and elegant which seems commonly used by the owner to relax while staring at the atmosphere of the city from the top floor.

" rania... ".

Rania immediately realized to hear a call from Arsha who was now staring at her as if waiting for an answer from her. " Ahh.. yes well, I put this there yes sir. ", he said immediately passed leaving Arsha who was still sitting in bed.

*

Rania immediately placed a small tray on an oval-shaped table and then circulated her eyes to see the atmosphere of a small room that seemed very attached to the feel of a woman. Soft pink sofa on a very fine fur carpet in old cream, a fairly large lily-sized pink painting sticking pretty on the left wall. In the right corner there are bookshelves and magazines neatly lined up. It really is like a room for a woman who wants to let go of her fatigue while enjoying the atmosphere of the beauty of the city. This is by no means his Boss' style in the office that is very manly.

" Sit down Rania. "

Rania gasped in shock to realize the presence of Arsha who is now at her side. Then immediately sat the sofa appointed by Arsha. It felt like something was piquing his mind at the moment, but I don't know what made him suddenly feel uncomfortable when he entered this room.

" Did Cantika play here often? ", Rania asked curiously as she continued to circulate her gaze throughout the room.

Arsha was speechless, surely Rania felt strange with this room which was like devoted to a woman. Anyone else could guess it just by looking at all the contents of this room. " Mama who often plays here. ", he answered briefly while throwing his face out the window.

" Oohh ", Rania's head nodded many times as if understanding. His eyes were rolling all over the corner of the room again, it didn't seem like it was my mother Hanum's taste at all?. This room feels more feminine and seems luxurious with all its contents. It really is like a reflection of the soul of a young woman with high taste. Ahh already, why think about who made or arranged this room, Rania did not want to interfere and did not want to know anything that was not her business.

" Please drink the tea sir, while it is still warm. ", bargain Rania when she found Arsha as if she was daydreaming staring blankly at the glass window in front of her.

" Ahh yes, you yourself why not drink?", asked Arsha realized that Rania brought tea just for him.

" I've been drinking downstairs. "

" It feels awkward that I'm the only one who enjoys this tea and cake. "

" No papa sir, from earlier I have eaten a lot of this pastry because I have to make sure it tastes right or not. Sorry if it feels a little weird. "

Rania blushed to hear the praise from Arsha, thank goodness if you like. Andra said the pastry is delicious, even Andra can spend himself a plate full of pastries made.

" It seems like your talent is not only in the office, but you are also talented in the kitchen. Where did you learn to cook from?", asked Arsha to try fishing so that Rania was more relaxed and free when chatting with him.

Rania blushed shyly, "I only learned recipes from the internet, sir, because I have children so I have to learn a lot about the recipe of Andra's favorite food. ".

Rania smiled awkwardly waiting for Arsha's reaction to just stare at him, trying to cover up the embarrassment even though her face now could not prevent a tinge of red hue that suddenly appeared on her cheeks.

" Rania, can we repeat our introduction again correctly? ", asked Arsha still fixedly staring at Rania.

" Ma.What do you mean, sir? ", Rania looked back at Arsha not understanding.

" I want us to get acquainted as men and women in general, no longer superiors and subordinates. Moreover, we are now ehheemm. I want you to no longer call me Sir, let alone in front of Andra and all our families. And I want us to be able to be more relaxed like friends without any embarrassment and awkwardness. Can Rania? ".

Rania is looking for the seriousness of Arsha's words from her eyes, it seems like her boss is not lying. There was great hope emanating from his gaze.

" I won't force you anymore, Rania, I'll leave it to you. I understand this will be difficult for us, but what's wrong with us to build this relationship more peacefully and casually without any sense of awkwardness. We can't be like this in front of Andra and all the family.".

Rania was immediately bowed down, everything Arsha said was true, there was no way she would live a domestic life with such a great sense of awkwardness. He had thought about it last night, and had already decided to start accepting it even though it still felt heavy. " Sorry.., ", he said softly.

" Do you want Rania? ", arsha looked disappointed to hear Rania just saying sorry. Is that a word of rejection?.

" Mom.it's not like that, sir, ", said Rania hurriedly looking up her head at Arsha. " I am willing to take your advice. "

Arsha smiled happily, then reached out her right hand in front of Rania. " Let's start getting acquainted properly" he said as he continued to stare at Rania who seemed hesitant to welcome his hand.

Rania grabbed Arsha's hand slowly, looking doubtful when going to cupping Arsha's big hand.

" Meet me Arsha Wiguna, 35 years old, is married and has a great son. " What's your name? ".

Rania was speechless, still shocked by this ridiculous introduction made by her Boss. It seemed like something was strange, but what his Boss said was indeed true. Rania was bowed in, what should she say now?.

" Hey.why shut up. Whatis yourname? ", asked Arsha while shaking the small hand of Rania who was still in his grasp.

" My name is Rania. ", he said.

Arsha breathed out violently, disappointed to hear Rania only mention her name. " age? Status?... The complete dong Rania... ".

" Your 28 years old, status..married a son. ", replied Rania slowly.

Arsha smiled amusedly, "Okay, because we already know each other, now we can be more familiar in doing all things. ".

" that means...? ", Rania looked up at Arsha suspiciously.

" I mean, we don't have to be awkward anymore, just assume we're friends now. ".

" Oohhh, "" said Rania, nodding her head repeatedly.

" Do you expect more from Rania's friend? ", ledek Arsha when seeing the relief in Rania's eyes.

" Mommy, that's not what it means sir... ".

" Well.and one more, don't call me sir! Especially in front of Mama, Andra, Father Mother and other families. What will they say if you still call me sir. ".

" What should I call...? ", asked Rania confused.

" Emmm.. It's up to you, the important thing is don't call me sir from now on, okay! ".

" Please give me some time, I might have to get used to this kind of situation. Sorry I am not used to it. ".

" Okay, the important thing is don't call me sir in front of Mama, Andra and Mommy. ".

Rania, what should she call him? It felt really still very awkward considering the call was already attached to him. Arsha smiled amusedly at the confused Rania, well this is the initial stage to make Rania get used to her, without having to force and burden her with a new status as his wife. All must be lived slowly and patiently, hoping that soon Rania can accept this marriage of her own accord.
