Bima sat on the edge of the bed. Her net looked at Karina who looked nervous before her.
"Do I have to sleep here too?" Karina's voice sounded. The woman squeezed the tip of her clothes to neutralize her sudden feelings as if not wrinkling when dealing with Bima.
"You think?" Bima asked with a flat face. Both of her eyes were still scanning the beautiful face of Karina.
While Karina actually lowered her head because her heart was beating fast when faced with a man who had been legally her husband.
"Mm–I mean–"
"I did give you a marriage agreement. But that doesn't mean we sleep in separate rooms. Isn't sleeping together also the point written in the covenant letter?" Bima looked at Karina who looked surprised. But the next second, the woman looked pouted.
"Sleep!"
"Ta–tapi–"
"Don't worry, I won't do what's in your head." Bima threw her body on the bed.
"You can sleep here." Bima patted the bed next to him that had been arranged bolsters as a barrier.
"I ...." Karina scanned a large photo stuck on the wall of Bima's room.
Bima followed Karina's line of sight. The man then patted his forehead. How could he forget to take down the photo of Renata posted there?
Bima knew that her marriage to Karina was only temporary. But should he not respect Karina as his wife?
"I'm sorry, I forgot to put it down. Tomorrow I'll take down the photo. Now, can we go to sleep first? I'm already sleepy." Bima then turned off the lights and replaced them with sleeping lights."
Karina was silent. Still confused to digest something that happened in his life today.
Suddenly married to the man who hit him then ended up sleeping in a room that clearly contained traces of the man's past with his wife.
Yes, Lord .. It seems like soon I will go crazy.
That night, the night that was supposed to be the night of the bride Karina and Bima turned into a night that meant nothing.
There is no first night that is usually done by newlyweds in general.

Aldrian just got to the restaurant. The man complied with Bima's request that she want to have lunch together at once there is something that the man whose dual status has changed by getting married.
"Sori, it's a little late." Aldrian looked at the watch on his wrist which showed that he had been late for ten minutes. The man immediately pulled the chair in front of Bima.
"It's okay. I was five minutes ago too." Bima smiled welcoming the arrival of her cousin.
Since her separation from Renata, Bima has now returned close to Aldrian. The man even without hesitation told all his problems to the cousin.
"What's wrong? Is there anything important that's why you told me to come here?" Aldrian grabbed a cup of coffee that Bima had ordered before he came.
"About Karina" Bima said without further ado.
While Bima clucked in annoyance. Let alone performing the first ritual, touching Karina was not.
Bima even deliberately kept a distance with the woman who had become his wife. It's not that Bima does not want to perform the first night ritual, it's just that, Bima can't yet. The shadow of Renata filled his mind.
"Don't tell me you haven't touched her?" Aldrian looked at Bima with a full glance. Meanwhile, the one being stared at actually closed his eyes.
"How am I supposed to touch her when I think only of her in my brain?" Bima restored her hair while sighing deeply.
"Don't go too far, Bim. Don't do the same thing you did to Renata. Karina is innocent. You dragged her in a silly wedding. You think marriage is a joke?" Aldrian spoke at length making Bima instantly speechless.
"Karina is innocent. Maybe it's true, you married her because you wanted to help her. But that does not mean you sacrifice Karina's feelings and your own feelings," continued Aldrian while continuing to look at Bima with a fixed.
"Don't repeat the same mistake you made with him. Karina's current position is almost the same as Renata's position, Bim. The difference is, Renata used to love you so secretly that what you did with your other women made Renata hurt." Aldrian looked at Bima who looked surprised.
"Learn to love your wife, Bim. You've chosen her as your wife, so you must take responsibility for your decision to marry her."
Bima shook her head slowly. "Where can I love her, Al? While I've only met him a few times?" bima protested for not accepting Aldrian's remarks that seemed to corner him.
"If you can't love her, then why did you marry her?" sumpul Aldrian was upset. Bima's stubborn mode returned a relapse.
"Wedding is no joke, Bim. You've already felt it. You still regret because you once wasted the woman you married without love."
Bima closed her eyes when she heard the words coming out of Aldrian's mouth.
"Don't till you fall into the same hole, Bim. Remember, love comes without us expecting it. Now you biss say that you don't love him. But later, who knows?" Bima reminded me again. As a friend and cousin of Bima, Aldrian felt the need to remind Bima.
In the past, Bima also said that he never loved Renata. However, after some time passed, the man only realized his love for Renata. Unfortunately Bima's love came after it was too late.
"Think about my words, Bima."
