The Grace of Debt Redeemer

Like Dreams.

The couple who had just legally become husband and wife also entered into a rented house whose size was not too large. The first time they enter they will be reunited with the front room, then the living room equipped with two bedrooms, the last heading to the kitchen and dining room and there is also a bathroom not far from there.

Ciara seemed to let out a long sigh and then exhaled again slowly. Not complaining because of the residence that makes him not know how to live his life later, but whether he can live life as a wife of a man who is not at all loved? Although the man is the father of the child he is carrying. Moreover, the man is the twin brother of his own lover, which will certainly make him always imagined and also always feel guilty.

"Ra, I'm sorry I couldn't buy you a house. Even I only invite you to live in a rented house that is not luxurious. But you take it easy, yes, later when my finances are stable I will definitely invite you to move to a more decent house again" said Kenzo.

"It's okay Ken. We have to save anyway, right? Oh yes I know your finances are running low for our marriage, you also did not want to accept my help at all that time, so I beg you to accept my help this time. I have savings, this you can use to buy a car or anything, you definitely need a vehicle for work" said Ciara while handing over his ATM card.

But Kenzo brushed it off slowly, a sign he was rejecting it.

"Don't Ra, I'm your husband. I am the one who should take full responsibility for you, not even you who spend money on our lives. If you want to use your own money for anything it is up to you, but if for my personal business let alone home, let me who every month will give you money. Although the numbers are not many, hopefully enough for the lives of both of us. I promise I will work hard for you and our Son, especially for the birth of our Son" said Kenzo who made Ciara speechless.

Somehow even though Kenzo had tried to be nice but still he did not care so much about his words. Marrying Kenzo still feels like a dream to her, an unexpected dream.

"I want to rest first" said Ciara.

"Which room do you want to sleep in?" Kenzo asked, given the marriage terms of his wife.

"This is all," replied Ciara who pointed to the first room, then she opened the door and brought her belongings in.

"Ara, do you want me to help you make your clothes? You're pregnant, you can't be soybean. Moreover, today's event has a lot of energy," said Kenzo.

"You don't have to worry about me Kenzo, just take care of yourself. The problem of making clothes can be anytime, now I want to rest and please do not bother me," said Ciara who just went into the room and closed the door tightly.

The house and its rooms have been cleaned by the owner. Moreover, the house was also only empty a week ago, so it still looks clean and can be directly occupied.

After Ciara entered his room, Kenzo also went into his own room and laid his body on the bed.

Both Kenzo and Ciara are contemplating the fate of their current marriage that feels like a dream. But Ciara felt this was a nightmare and could not accept it yet, in contrast to Kenzo who felt that this beautiful dream made her happy. Kenzo did not expect because in the end he could marry the woman he loved. But of course the storyline of this marriage also makes him sad, especially Ciara received it just because it was forced for the sake of the child in the womb.

"I just need to be patient, not knowing it until when but as long as I'm still Ciara's husband then I'll try to make Ciara love me" Kenzo said, then he closed his eyes until he unconsciously fell asleep.

*****

The next day, both Ciara and Kenzo will both undergo their respective activities. There is no leave after marriage as is done by newlywed couples in general, moreover, Kenzo also has the usual duty to investigate cases of unnatural death and he will cooperate with Ciara at the hospital where his wife works.

"For Ra," said Kenzo as he was tidy and approached Ciara who was in the kitchen.

"Morning. I'm sorry because it's my first day as a wife so I don't really know what to do yet, but I've prepared breakfast and this is it. If you do not like it you can find breakfast outside, said Ciara while pointing to a glass of milk and bread served on the table.

Although Ciara seems indifferent even looks hate him, but it makes Kenzo feel happy and still feel like a dream if he already has a wife who prepares breakfast for him. But he also wondered where Ciara got the food, because indeed they had not been shopping anything.

"Thank you Ra, you have done your duty well. But where do you get it, when do you shop?" Ask Kenzo.

Yes, last night, when Kenzo was asleep, Ciara could not sleep and felt hungry because she had not eaten since last night, decided to go to the nearest supermarket alone and shop. Moreover, they do not have any food in the house.

"So last night you went out alone and shopping, you bought food with your money? Why don't you wake me up Ra, I can accompany you and give you some shopping money. I'm really sorry, I fell asleep until I forgot the time" Kenzo said.

"It's okay, I told you I have money too. You also say it's up to me to use my money for anything, so don't forbid me if I use my own money for the needs of this house" Ciara said.

"Yes, thank you very much. But I am your husband and here I have money for the needs of the house, please accept yes. If it's less, you can tell me" said Kenzo, giving the first money as a living for his wife.

After thinking for a moment, Ciara finally accepted it. He feels bad if he continues to reject Kenzo's good intentions.

"Thank you" said Ciara and saved the money.

Then Ciara and Kenzo sat in the dining room enjoying breakfast together, even though there was no conversation at all between them.

"Ra, today we have a joint assignment in the hospital, maybe not if I come with you. The commander called me and I was told to go straight to the hospital" Kenzo said.

Ciara just nodded her head, a sign that she agreed. After breakfast, they went straight to the hospital.

*****

While on the way to the hospital, Ciara only looks silent. Even when Kenzo asked him to speak, Ciara only said a word or two as necessary, it was clear if he did not like the current situation at all.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Ciara is also seen walking away from Kenzo. Fortunately Kenzo understood, maybe because in the hospital there is Kenzie who makes Ciara certainly feel bad if she meets her ex-lover.

When Ciara had just stepped foot into the hospital and Kenzo was behind her, from a distance, Kenzie, who was in the moment with Salsa, stared at them with a hateful look. Then he threw away his face and left Salsa alone because the woman was waiting for Ciara and Kenzo as his coworkers to handle a case.

But at that moment it was seen Kenzo who ran after his twin brother.

"Kenzie .. wait for me Ken … !" Call Kenzo until he grabs Kenzie's hand and makes his twin brother's footsteps stop.

"What's wrong? We have absolutely no business at this time" Kenzie said.

"Kenzie, I'm really sorry. What I have to do to make you forgive me, this is all Kenzie has done. From yesterday you were invisible, so I didn't get to say goodbye to you. Now that I've moved in, Ciara and I live in a rented house" Kenzo said.

"Oh yeah? Then why did you tell me, did you intentionally want to show off? Oh yes congratulations on your marriage, may you be happy for a marriage that began with a betrayal," said Kenzie who also glanced at Ciara sharply.

Making Ciara who had also wanted to talk to Kenzie was now just silent and also endured the pain and guilt in her heart.
