The Bridge Of Love

CHAPTER 4 Your Former Wife Candidate

“Is there still rice left?” ask Carnation.

Chrysanthemum gasped, he dissolved looking at the pretty face of the girl in front of him. “Nothing, it's clean," he said as he pulled his hand.

“Taste you good,” praise Carnation.

“Thank you.”

“Oh yes. What's your job?” ask Carnation.

“Only a regular employee.”

“Until such night does it work?”

“Oh, I took two jobs at once. After I got home from work, I worked part-time at the gas station.”

“You are very hardworking. Must be what you did for the cost of getting married? You said you were almost married. Your ex-wife would have regretted wasting a hardworking man like you.”

Chrysanthemum is a little awkward. He is a hard worker. However, not because you want to get married, but want to be successful for the purpose of his life. Let alone getting married, not thinking about love.

“Ya, she must be very sorry.”

Carnations slightly shifted, turning to Chrysanthemum. “Do you have a photo of that woman? I want to see the face of the woman who rejected you. Must have been blind.”

“Nothing already. You're right, he's blind.”

“Calm down, he must be sorry. I'm sure, there are still women interested in you.”

“Which obviously should not be blind.”

“Ya true.”

“Are you blind?” ask Chrysanthemum.

“Ha?”

“Are you blind?” ask Chrysanthemum again.

“Of course not!”

“Then you won't leave me, will you?” asked Chrysanthemum with a tense face.

Carnations fell silent, momentarily not understanding the speech of Chrysanthemums. The man looked at the girl inside. The first time his heart was quivering by a girl. All this time, nothing could shake his heart.

The clear gaze of the girl in front of him successfully made him flinch. His heart was pounding, he was sure he was in love at this time, at the girl who had only been met for a few hours.

Carnations only scratch their cheeks that do not itch. He admitted, the man in front of him made himself comfortable.

***

The days continued, it had been almost a month Anyelir lived in the Chrysanthemum house. They live in peace. Although, Carnations could not help anything in that house. All the homework, Chrysanthemums do after work and he never once complained to Carnations.

Chrysanthemum introduced Anyelir as his sister from the village to the neighbors. The community where he lives is still taboo will live without marriage relations. Therefore, Chrysan was forced to make Anyelir as his sister.

“What did you bring?” ask Anyelir enthusiastically.

“I brought satay. We ate together,” take Chrysanthemum.

Carnations carrying Chrysanthemum work bags. They eat together.

“Enak,” says Carnation.

“Do you like?”

“Ya.”

Chrysanthemum took something out of his bag. “This registration form. Go to college, I'll try to finance your education.”

Carnation's gaze focused on the brochure and also the form that Chrysanthemum was holding.

“Are you serious?” tanya Anyelir widened her eyes.

“Sure. I'll work hard so you can go to college.”

Carnations immediately rushed to Chrysanthemum and hugged it. “Thank you, I don't know how to thank you again. You really are a good brother,” said Anyelir.

“But I'm not your brother,” said Chrysanthemum seriously.

“Yes, I know. You told the neighbors that we're brothers for fear of being raided ‘kan?”

“Ya,” lirih Chrysanthemum.

Carnation unravels her embrace. He smiled sweetly at Chrysanthemum. “Thank you.”

“Anyelir.”

“Ya.”

Chrysanthemum blinked his eyes once, he was a little nervous. “We have almost a month to stay seatap. You can't always pretend to be your brother and sister. Gradually, others will know. Not only fearing insults from others if we know we live unofficially. But what we did was wrong. We shouldn't stay home.”

“Not like that,” Result Chrysanthemum.

“Then?” ask Carnations with eyes that condense.

“I want you to be my wife.”

“Ha? Are you proposing to me?”

“Yes. Will you be my wife?” asked Chrysanthemum who suddenly knelt with her next leg. In his hand was a ring.

“I ...”

Anyelir fell silent, he gave no answer to Chrysanthemum. He is not yet 19 years old. She doesn't know if she's ready to get married.

“I can't cook, I can't clean up. I'm afraid I can't be a good wife. But, I also do not want to be far from you,” said Anyelir.

The chrysanthemum stared at the Carnations. He knew the girl in front of him was still very young. Living a month together with Carnations, was enough to get to know the girl.

Carnation is a spoiled girl, a girl who was born from a rich family that never lived hard. Coupled with a very young age, it was no wonder that the girl was still very unstable. However, what Chrysanthemum likes is, the girl does not complain about the simplicity given by her.

“What I've been asking you to do the dishes?” ask Chrysanthemum.

Carnation shakes. “No,” the answer is for sure.

“Do I ask you to cook?”

“No,” Reply Carnation again.

“Do you not love me?” ask Chrysanthemum again.

“Do you love me?” ask Carnation back.

“Am I going to propose to a woman without love?”

Carnation grinned his forehead. “You asked me to marry you to replace your former future wife?”

Chrysanthemum was already feeling sore because the ring he offered was not welcomed by Carnations. “Of course not. Because that woman never existed.”

“You mean? Didn't you say you were almost married?”

“I'm just kidding. I did it so that you undo your intention to kill yourself.”

“So you tricked me?” tanya slightly raised her voice.

“If it wasn't like that, you'd jump wouldn't you?”

“But can not by lying.”

“Good. I'm not gonna lie anymore. Now, you accepted my proposal no?”

Carnations nibbled his lips. “But, aren't we too young to get married?”

“Yes I know you're very young. However, I don't want us to stay one roof without marriage ties.”

“Do you love me?”

“I know this is too soon. I don't know if the beatings in my heart every time I see you are love, because I've never been in love. However, all I know, I always want to be with you.”

Carnations looked at the man who was kneeling in front of him. He stared into the face of his savior. He also vibrated every time he was close to the chrysanthemum. In the end, he nodded his head.

Chrysanthemum smiled widely, he pinned the ring on Carnation's ring finger. Not long ago, they moved a contract close to the Anyelir campus to carry out their studies. Their marriage was simple.

Carnations don't mind that simple wedding. During the wedding, Chrysanthemum always pampered him. Not once did anyone let the Carnation trouble.  Not once did he snarl at his wife. Although, there are many shortcomings of his wife.

Carnations never help with homework. Staying alone makes Carnations choose to buy food in the stall rather than having to cook. In fact, even Chrysanthemum homework does it.

Chrysanthemums strive to be successful. Not a few who consider him a bucin man, the man was willing to spend a lot of money to meet the needs of the wife. Although not a luxury item, Carnations do not lack clothing, never lack of body care.  He tried hard to be able to finance the education of Carnations. Until finally, he can establish his own company in the age of their fourth marriage.

“Do you like?” tanya Chrysan turned to the wife for a moment and looked at the luxurious house in front of her.

Carnations nodded with spirit. “Very like. Thank you,” she said with tears in her eyes.

“Why crying? I worked hard to see you smile instead of crying,” said Krisan wiping his wife's tears.

“I cried because I was happy. You've been trying so hard just to see me happy. You're not just a husband. You're my angel, my guardian angel!” isak Carnations getting louder.

Chrysanthemum hugged his wife. “Thank you for being willing to accompany me from zero. I love you, Carnation.”

“I love you too, Mas.”

“Never leave me!”

“I won't leave you, unless you ask me to leave.”

“Don't talk carelessly, I won't leave you!”

“Ya, I trust.”
