The Forced Marriage

Part 4's

Days continued to pass, already two days after the incident where aby had slapped shanum. Now shanum is no longer doing anything in the house he lives in with aby today.

As if shanum had given up and no longer did his duty as a wife as usual, where shanum always cooked for himself and also aby, where she was always cooking for him, shanum no longer wants to be redundant because shanum is aware of what Allah hates.

While Aby still behaved as usual, as if nothing happened.

This morning Aby is leaving for her company office. When he went down the stairs he glanced at the kitchen but did not find shanum there.

Aby was a little surprised because usually shanum every morning always offered him breakfast before he left for work, but for two days now Aby no longer found shanum who was always in the kitchen when she did not go to teach on campus.

Where is he, isn't he up at this hour?

Inner aby asked the whereabouts of shanum.

While shanum is now preparing after cleaning himself in the bathroom, it has been busy two days with the activity of preparing questions for the semester exams of his students on campus, until he rarely comes out of his room and takes care of the kitchen, shanum also thinks no one will eat his cooking if he cooks.

Every day if after teaching shanum always stop by the rice stall to fill his stomach.

Shanum lately always think of his household that is not good since the beginning of the marriage to this day, especially already known by his mother-in-law.

This morning after yesterday's incident, Aby slapped her, shanum came to her in-laws after coming home from college, asking her not to tell anyone about Aby who was always rude to her, and thankfully Mother Rumi will obey her wishes while shanum is fine. And the mother-in-law asked that if Aby did anything inappropriate again, she asked her son-in-law to leave her son.

Because mother rumi felt ashamed of shanum, with the bad behavior of her son. The son he had always been proud of.

At this time, Aby had arrived at his office, when he had just arrived, he immediately sat himself in the seat of his greatness.

For a moment aby rested his body on the back of his great chair, sighing heavily, he again thought of his actions to shanum during this marriage, a very bad behavior in the eyes of anyone.

What should I do, should I just end this marriage, rather than me continuing to torture the stones.

Back aby took a deep breath and rubbed his face rough.

"Eh." Gio cleared his way into the aby room all of a sudden.

Aby who was seen opening her eyes that she had just closed with a leaning position while raising her head on the back of the end of the chair.

"What's wrong?" Tukas aby straightened his body again.

"The file that was damaged yesterday I have finished repairing it and I have signed anggara sir." Said Gio putting the file in his hand.

Aby took the file and observed carefully, there was relief because the files damaged by shanum yesterday have been repaired.

"Thank you." Said Aby back to the position of leaning his body on the seat of his greatness.

"Lu why, it's not usually like this. Any issues?" Tanya gio was curious.

Aby did not respond to Gio's question, she just closed her eyes again.

"I slapped him yesterday." Said Aby told her best friend.sounding regret at aby's tone.

"M..who do you mean?" Gio's stuttering voice heard aby talking like that, don't tell me aby had slapped his own wife.

"Shanum." Aby replied, in such a position still casually closing her eyes there.

Gio's eyes round feeling surprised instead of playing, Aby has slapped shanum whose nose is his own wife who has not been considered by aby.

"Crazy you by.. Didn't think I had your kayak friend. You dare to slap your own bini I'm sure bini you did not intentionally do that. You play slap." Gio said annoyed as if he did not accept his best friend's bad behavior this time.

"He's ruined my important job io." Sahut aby, now back to improve his sitting position.

"But your bad behavior can make you feel good for life, aahh males I have made you by your behavior it has crossed the line tau no." Sarkas gio then left aby alone in his room.

Gio was so sick of seeing the behavior of his best friend who did not appreciate the presence of his wife all this time.

Gio didn't make aby calls, he just left the room. He thought it better to finish his work in his room than to give the advice of a stubborn man like Aby.

Seeing that Gio did not respond to his call made aby even more frustrated, he rubbed his face rough.

***

It did not feel the time was approaching this evening aby finished his work quickly because usually aby always went home for ten o'clock at night, but this time aby will go home at eight o'clock.

Aby intends to quickly return home to clean up so that his mind is chaotic since this morning hoping to calm down.

Arriving at home aby felt something different, where usually shanum always greeted him with a smile but this time he did not find the existence of shanum on the door of the living room.

Is shanum asleep?

Batin Aby asked the whereabouts of shanum which he had not found since this morning.

Do not want to take a headache aby immediately stepped up his legs up the stairs to the second floor where his room and shanum room.

After reaching her room, Aby immediately undressed the clothes she was wearing because her body already felt very sticky, finally she immediately decided to take a shower.

Approximately for almost thirty minutes aby soaked his body with warm water now he stopped his bathing activities and immediately used home clothes.

After putting on her clothes and drying her hair, Aby stepped out towards the kitchen wanting to make something there.

This time Aby hopes to find shanum because he intends to apologize. But again did not find the existence of shanum, there was not even food there.

Isn't he cooking dinner? even though I always refused it, but why is she not cooking anymore?

All kinds of questions arise in the mind of aby, finally Aby decided to make her own coffee.

While shanum in the room was focusing on his leptop it seemed to be working on something there.

But shanum suddenly felt thirsty he glanced at the place where the water container is usually always filled but it turns empty he forgot to fill it back.

Shanum got up from his seat and took the water container he intended to go to the kitchen to get water. After reaching the kitchen he found that Aby was making something there.

"Sister aby?" Shanum.

Aby still heard the sound of shaum, he turned his head and found the existence of shanum, the two beads met face to face, but shanum quickly lowered his head in fear that aby would return harsh words to him as usual.

While aby who was intending to apologize to shanun but his voice felt choked as if he could not speak. I don't know if he's nervous just to apologize.

"Can shanum help you?" Tanya shanum ventured to ask aby, however shanum still had to serve this man.

"No." Answer aby flat.

Shanum nodded at a glance hearing aby's reply. Then he continued his activities that wanted to take water.

After that shanum returned to his room to finish his activities.

And aby's still in the kitchen finishing making coffee. After he finished, Aby went back to her room.
