The Hated Husband

Bonding

Day by day passed. Dev, 18, two years older than Maria, graduated. Perhaps for a girl of Maria's age, her feelings were considered monkey love. But not for him, he loved Dev very sincerely, and vice versa.

"Don't you want to study abroad, Jo?"

Jo put his fork spoon on the plate.

"No." she replied firmly.

"Yes, it's up to you. But remember, after graduating from college you have to follow your will. Youunderstand?"

"I no longer have appetite." Jo got off the dining table

With a hasty step he walked into his room, took the key of the motor and hurried away from home. He took off his bike quickly because he was very angry at the moment. When passing through the T-junction, suddenly there was a girl who was cycling to cross. Jo gasped, and he accidentally hit the bike.

"Ouch!!"

It was fortunate that Jo immediately braked, so the accident was not too severe. He got off the bike and approached the girl.

"Are you okay?"

The girl held onto her injured knee and hand, then looked towards him.

"Mary!!"

"Sister Jo?"

"Sorry, I wasn't focused. Because I saw you so I was shocked." Jo reached out her hand to help Maria stand up

"This, as my apology." Jo gave some money in Maria's palm

"Not to brother."

"Oh, take it. I don't want you to blame me later for this."

"No need brother, just save your money."

"I said accept it! Not much drama!"

Jo was about to get on the bike, but Maria quickly patted him on the shoulder.

"Wait on! Whatchu mean? Looks like you took me low by handing over this money!"

"If so why? Hm."

Maria was silent at his words.

"Even I can buy you." Jo smiled cynically.

Angrily Mary spread the money to the handsome man before her. Then he immediately got on his bike and passed from that place.

While Jo was still fixated on seeing the departure of Mary who was getting farther and farther from his sight.

"Basic of a haughty chick."

3 Years later..

Maria finally graduated. He came home from school while flanking his degree. The mother was sitting in the living room.

"Mother, look. I'm good value."

His mother did not answer.

"Mother, what's wrong? Why are you quiet?"

"Mary, your father's in phk."

"What!"

"Forget education. We won't be able to finance your college. Sorry.."

Maria tried to hold back the tears to make sure that she was okay.

"Mom, I don't need to apologize. I'm fine if I don't go to college. I'll find work and help meet our needs."

"Your father, he's lost his spirit. He was often angry and unclear. Your father's applied for a job many times but it was very difficult and rejected."

"Mom, let me find a job. Just relax, leave everything to me. I'm sure our lives will improve. Right now God is testing us." said Mary hugging her sobbing mother.

The next day, Maria applied for work at several restaurants but no vacancies. Finally he worked part time delivery.

Until one night, Maria got an order from a customer. Arriving at the door, he pressed the bell. Soon the owner of the house opened the door.

"Well, so you delivered my order" said the owner with a cynical smile

"Well, so you delivered my order" said the owner with a cynical smile

Once again he gave money to Maria with a condescending smile.

"It's too much money."

"Take everything."

"But.."

Brak!!

mary's speech was cut short when her former upperclassman shut the door.

Maria snorted in annoyance, and she immediately left the house. After her work hours were up, Maria rushed home. Once at home he was shocked by a luxury car parked in his yard. When Maria entered the house, a middle-aged man was sitting in the living room, talking to his parents.

"Mary." call the mother

Maria who was confused by this situation she just smiled kindly to someone she did not know, then sat next to her mother.

"So this is your daughter you told me about?" ask the middle-aged man

"True, she's our only daughter. Now he is only 18 years old. Due to circumstances, he could not continue his education." replied Maria's father

"Don't worry about that. I'll make sure your daughter gets the best education. You don't have to worry about your daughter's future."

"Dad, mother, what exactly does this mean?" mary looked at her mother and father in turn

"Mary, this is my close friend. He has a son, this om boy has a sleep disorder, so every day he takes sleeping pills." replied the mother while rubbing Maria's shoulder

"What does this have to do with me, Mom?"

"Married to him."

Deg

"Yes son. My son can't sleep if no one hugs him. He had a trauma as a child and it goes on until now. I've taken her to a psychiatrist many times but she still can't recover. So, I had the initiative to find him a wife. Even though he is still very young."

"Mary, think carefully. This will guarantee your future. It's a good opportunity for you, you take it baby." persuaded the gentle mother

Mary was silent withstanding the tears that were about to flow. He wanted to refuse his mother's request, but the begging face of the mother made him powerless to resist.

"Well mom, I'm ready."

Suddenly everyone smiled with relief.

"Thank you very much, I'm sure you'll be happy" said the mother, then kissed Maria on the forehead

After the business was over, the man left.

"Mom, dad, I'm so tired. Excuse me for the room."

"Dear, rest."

As soon as she entered the room, Maria slammed herself on the bed, her tears spilling. He grabbed the phone next to him, looking at the photo of the lover plastered as wallpaper when the phone was turned on.

"Dev, I'm sorry. Hicks.."

Elsewhere, the middle-aged man had arrived at his residence. He walked up the stairs to his son's room.

"You haven't slept?"

"Hmm." replied his cold son who was lying on his stomach while typing a laptop

"Something I want to talk to you about, please look at me!"

With a lazy face, his son got out of bed and stood before him.

"Dad has decided, after graduating from college you have to marry the girl of your choice."

"Dad, how many times have I told you! I don't want to! I still want to be free!"

"You're married, not in prison. I don't forbid your freedom, it's for your own good. If you refuse, I'll cross your name from the heir."

His teenage son was afraid. At the moment he still has nothing and still stands on his father's feet.

"Yes I want to!! Satisfied father!!"
