The Forced Marriage

Both Hold Ego

Azlan immediately brought his motorbike inside after it had been cleaned of dust and dirt.

While Dara went straight to the bathroom cleaning herself. The atmosphere now feels cold in a tenement room inhabited by two different people of this type.

Azlan placed the Boba Ice on top of the plastic cupboard, then he immediately went to the kitchen to see what could be eaten or cooked tonight for the two. There are eggs, noodles and Salted Squid Fish. If Dara is not overtime until 7 pm, it could be that the food ingredients have been Dara processed into cooking so.

Azlan had only the idea of making fried rice for dinner this time. Back home from work, because the mood of the two was again hit by the cold war, Azlan was not eager to shop for rice dishes for dinner. Finally, he thought of making fried rice Salted Squid Fish.

Lucky in the kitchen is always available garlic and onion, soy sauce and sauce sambal. So make fried rice feels very easy if the spice is already there.

Azlan fried the fried rice accompanied by rough music from the bathroom, the sound of water splashed with dipper into Dara's body became instrumental accompaniment. Plus twang pans and stainless spatulas clashing against each other, adding to the noise of the atmosphere. The smell of red onion wafted in the air, until it was smelled by Dara.

Finish is also finally Azlan's processed fried rice, along with the sound of the bathroom door opening. Dara finished her bath, her body wet covered with a towel from chest to knees. The eyes of the two met, yet each other did not return a smile. Both look compact.

"If you have prayed, Adek eat first. Today you do not buy rice dishes. Brother made fried rice Salted Squid Fish plus eggplok, Ice Bobanya in the closet," his instructions while struggling to reach the towel hanging on the nail, then to the bathroom. Dara quietly did not say, her heart seemed sad with Azlan's attitude. Usually Azlan always tried to tease him even when Dara was angry, but now Azlan was cold.

Azlan immediately cleaned himself up, his body was really already sultry and tired. It feels like immediately eating fried rice made and then sleeping. His frustration with Dara apparently made him feel tired, even to just tempt Dara so that the atmosphere was warm again, tonight he could not afford. Azlan was really tired and sleepy.

Azlan ended his bath and immediately got dressed and carried out his duties. When he went to the kitchen to eat fried rice made earlier, Azlan was surprised because the fried rice had not reduced portions. I don't think Dara has eaten yet. Azlan took the initiative to bring fried rice to Dara. Azlan, however, did not want Dara to go hungry as a result of the second cold war.

"Eat first.do not let the stomach empty because of annoyance," said Azlan while offering a plate of fried rice made and Es Boba that was bought. As Azlan passed, he ate in the living room which was only blocked by two plastic cabinets.

Dara stared at the fried rice of the Salted Squid Fish on top of which was covered with eggs, sliced tomatoes and cucumber made by Azlan was sad, tears began to pool. Azlan when angry alone was still worried about him. But what makes him sad again, Azlan's attitude is not warm, there is no more Azlan's appeal for him so that Dara is tempted and warm again.

Because hungry, even though with a sad feeling Dara was forced to eat fried rice slowly but finally toilet too. Azlan's fried rice, Dara admits it's delicious. Unlike the fried rice made by the tent stalls he had bought. It's better and it tastes good. Azlan is a very capable guy.

The sound of spoons clashing in the middle room, has not been heard anymore. Dara hopes Azlan catches up with her to the room, then hugs her and sleeps. But until 10pm he waited, Azlan did not show up either. Only the sound of TV is still heard and the smell of coffee is still out, presumably Azlan still has not long made his coffee.

Dara was pounding waiting for Azlan who was about to head to the room. But his hope was in vain, Azlan who was waiting for him did not come. Dara's heart grew sadder, she cried in a blanket.

"Abang could really silence Dara like this," whispered Dara's heart disappointed. Meanwhile, Azlan had fallen asleep very fast. The sound of the roar of breath accompanied by the sound of a simple snoring alternated, signifying how much Azlan was exhausted.

Twelve o'clock at night, Dara still could not close her eyes. She cried in silence, sometimes her sobs sounded. Dara still did not feel good to be left Azlan this way, usually Azlan who seduced him to get warm again. But now, his heart was disappointed in Azlan's silence.

Suddenly Azlan woke up, Dara who realized it suddenly tidied herself back in a sideways sleeping position. Azlan walked towards the bathroom. While Dara held back her so as not to be heard.

The sound of the bathroom door being opened, Azlan stopped his urination. Then back to the middle room. Azlan momentarily looked at the situation differently than usual. He and Dara slept apart, there was a sense of sadness in him. Because of the jealousy of the two, now they prefer their own ego. None of them tried to woo her to put down her cold war.

Azlan returned to the ambal he had slept with, he sat down and hugged both calves with his hands. Azlan thought, only he was the one who always tried to warm the atmosphere. When Dara is angry, she always gives up. Maybe because from the beginning only he who has love, while Dara must live with it by force.

When she realizes her mistake was deliberately set up to trap Dara, Azlan regrets why love blinded everything. Now, inevitably Azlan must always give up, be patient in facing all Dara's attitudes. This is the risk of his previous actions.

Azlan got up, slowly his feet headed for the room. He looked at her for a moment Dara's body lying sideways. Azlan was sad, in this situation Dara was still able to sleep well, while he thought hard how to make this cold war end.

Azlan slowly laid her body beside Dara, however she missed hugging Dara's body. The body that was completely his.

"I'm sorry Brother, Deck. You shouldn't have silenced Adek. Because after all, it's just you here. You are present because of your mistake. I don't know until when Adek will really love Abang," he whispered as he shed tears.

Dara who had heard Azlan's ravings since then, her heart was increasingly sliced with Azlan's expression. Not only did Azlan love him, but he also loved Azlan. Dara wanted to say that, but Dara was embarrassed. Embarrassed to find out that he had been crying for Azlan who had silenced him.

Azlan then kissed Dara's forehead. "I'm sorry Brother Dek, Brother really loves Adek. There was never anything else in my heart, and it never will be" she whispered again, positioning herself as Dara did. Hugged Dara tightly from the side.

Although her heart held back tears, but Dara was happy that Azlan finally came and hugged her.
