The Enchantment of Madam

Shadow Husband

I carried her body drooping in the white sand and carried her into her yacht.

"Just go, sir! Let Mbak Gothic be my business," I said while laying the tiny body of Mbak Gothic on a sofa that was quite comfortable.

The engine when it starts to sound and currently the cruise ship runs as if splitting the ocean waves are not too big.

"Mom, wake! Ma'am!"

Many times I tried to wake the Gothic mother, but did not realize it until I don't know how long finally his eyes opened slowly.

"Lele?" muttered Gothic Sister as she looked at me with narrowed eyes, but soon returned closed and complained of dizziness.

"Meremin first, Ma'am. It's natural to be dizzy. Earlier Mbak fainted because of it," said I who was not denied by him. So sweet.

The Gothic ma'am was seen closing his eyes with his hands folded in his chest. His breathing had started to settle down until it seemed like he was completely asleep.

I left Mbak Gothic and chose to go to the outskirts of the yacht, enjoying the wind and the hot sun.

Sailing on the blue water, dolphins and birds are sometimes seen chasing each other under the blue sky today.

I closed my eyes, enjoying the wind that caressed my face and body. I still can't believe that I've become the husband of the boss and owner of the company.

"Mas Levine" said a woman.

I opened my eyes, then looked to the side that was already standing the young lady who seemed to be her age was not far from me.

"Congratulations, huh?" he said to me, extending his fingers.

"Thankyou," I replied as I reached for a helping hand.

A few seconds he still shook my hand until he finally let go after I cleared my throat.

'Ehm!'

"Eh, sorry, Mas" he said, turning his face so that his red cheeks were now visible to me.

"What are you looking for me for?"

"There's nothing, Mom. Just wanted to say congratulations because Mas Levine is married to Miss Kia" he said.

"That's all?"

"Actually––" Gothic Mbak's assistant remark paused.

"Mas Levine, Miss Kia is looking for you" said someone standing at the side door of the ship.

"Yes, thank you!" I said then I stepped away. However, warm hands grabbed my arms.

I turned my head and saw the innocent face of the assistant of the Gothic Mother named Alda.

"I really liked Mas Levine when I first saw Mas in Miss Kia's office, but I just dared to say it now." Suddenly the word came out of Alda's lips.

I smile.

"Gue got married, Al."

"But I know this marriage is just pretend and you can get divorced at any time" Alda said.

"So, you expect our marriage to run aground, Al?"

"Of course!" he answered with passion and conviction that seemed to burn. Honestly, I was worried about everything he said.

Is not that a prayer?

**

There's no communication between me and Gothic ma'am. In the car just mute and Mbak Gothic is busy with his phone. I don't know where the car is going, because what I know is that the Gothic Miss's house isn't going this way.

Apparently the car stopped right in front of the TPU gate. My eyes were round when I saw the Gothic ma'am who was about to get out of the car.

"Who died?" ask me when reaching for his hand so that Mbak Gothic does not directly get out of the car.

"My grandmother" said Ms. Gothic then she got out of the car after plucking my hand which had indeed loosened.

To my knowledge, Mama Gotik is closer to her grandmother than to her parents and she even chose to live with her grandmother.

I got out of the car and walked in the back of Gothic Ma'am. The sky is currently overcast as if knowing the sadness of Gothic Sister for the departure of her grandmother. Not for a while, but forever.

"Neeeeek!!!" The Gothic ma'am embraced a headstone that was even still made of wood.

The body that was currently residing in the ground and the petals scattered in the navel became messy when the arms of the Gothic Mpa gripped the red ground.

"Grandma why don't you wait for Kia? Grandma broke Kia's promise" said Mbak Gothic with tears that had soaked his face.

"Son, I've, sweetheart. This is the way. Grandma did not break the promise. Ikhlaskan, huh? Let Grandma be calm there," said the mother of the Gothic Mother as her hands embrace the shoulders of the Gothic Mother who even shook her body with tears.

I am indeed her husband, but I cannot do anything because I know my position here is only as if a shadow husband or a husband who only covers the disgrace of his family about the impromptu marriage. Impressed to be grounded, but I accept and I believe God will always give his best to sincere people.

One by one the mourners had left the navel and left only the family of Mr. Bobby Albern as well as some of their faithful house assistants gathered at the navel.

"Let's go home, honey. The sky was already overcast," persuaded Mother Gothic mother as a black dense cloud enveloped the sky at the TPU.

"I still want to be with Grandma, Bun," said Gothic Sister who still hugs her grandmother's tombstone.

Both parents are still faithfully waiting until finally the speck of rain began to fall soaking the earth.

"Sir, Madam, let me wait for Ma'am Kia here. Ladies and gentlemen just rest at home. I promise I'll take good care of her."

The dislike of Mr. Bobby Albern when he looked at me, but the wife seemed to understand better. She talked to her husband so the two reached an agreement.

"Alright, I believe you, Levine. Please take care of my son," said the mother of the Gothic Mother named Sintia.

"Servant, give me an umbrella for Levin!" pinta Nyonya Sintia on one of her household assistants.

The umbrella was handed over to me and now the Albern family decided to leave the TPU leaving me and the Gothic Mother among the mounds of land containing the remains intact or even leaving the esophagus alone.

I just silently observed the body of the Gothic Mother who was still faithfully hugging the tombstone. Until finally the rain was getting heavier and I opened the umbrella to shade his body from the rain.

"Shake, yuk?!" take me.

Gothic ma'am shakes.

"Gue promises only to take shelter and will not make sure to go home, Ma'am. I just don't want you to get sick" I said again.

"Promise don't take me home, do you?" asked the Gothic Sister with the look of my eyes when I saw me.

I nodded and the Gothic Mother was willing to come with me.

We walked towards the gazebo which stood firmly under the frangipani tree and we decided to sit there.

It rained long enough until the afternoon we were still stuck here. Finally the sky turned dark not because it was cloudy anymore, but it had changed the night.

Gothic mother looked tired, she spilled her body without a single word from her lips. I opened the shirt that was attached to my body for her. The breeze of the night increasingly felt cold bone piercing until I finally chose to lie next to him with the position of back to each other.

I do not know how long I slept until my eyes opened because I heard a scream from someone.

"Yahoo!!!!"
