The Little Wife of Arsen

Chapter 1: Married to Arsenio Yudhistira

There's no need to explain the atmosphere at home this morning. The swearing sound that was previously held now echoed in rhythm with Alea's fast beating heart. The panic was evident on all the human faces in this house. Alea who had just walked out of her room and joined in the living room, could only remain silent without daring to say anything. Bad things will obviously come to him if his cousin Marinka— does not come too after last night went with his friends.

And as the curse was heard again with a hopeful look on her, Alea knew her youth would have obstacles with everything that required her to ask permission before doing anything.

"You. You're the one who's gonna replace Marinka"

As if there were fireworks, oh, no, a volcanic explosion accompanied by an eruption, Alea's heart beat more and more rhythmically as her husband Jordi— said so.

Alea shook her head firmly "Alea doesn't want Om"

"If you don't want to. Then you will go to prison" this time Amel—wife from her uncle who spoke.

Alea shook her head again "Alea doesn't want to. We can still find Marinka's sister"

"They'll be coming soon Alea. Don't you understand what kind of situation is going on right now?!!" jordi said while shaking Alea's shoulders tight.

Got it. Alea clearly understood what kind of situation was going on right now. The uncle who raised her since Alea lost both her parents in an accident had just gone bankrupt with a huge debt, especially to the Yudhishthira extended family.

The family now asks Jordi to marry off one of her daughters if she can't afford the debt. And damn it, Marinka— his cousin was running away at the right time.

The problem was, Alea did not know what kind of man to be betrothed to her. What if it's a 3-head aged om-om with her distended stomach?. Alea was clearly unwilling to destroy her future and become a sugar baby old man.

"Aren't you supposed to return the favor now? Om and aunt have been taking care of you since Junior High. If there are no aunts and om, it is certain you become a midfielder. And just so you know, this house has also been sold to the Yudistira family"

It was as if a large needle had pierced his heart. Alea gritted her teeth holding back the anger. The thing he hated to hear was now coming back from his aunt's lips. This house is a house owned by his parents, Alea lived to college even from the money tube owned by both parents. Om and his aunt were guardians of Alea's school affairs. Where would he return the favor now? For what thing?.

"But you need to replace Marinka. You're getting married today!!" jordi said firmly.

***

The wedding went according to the original plan. Is closed and only attended by the nuclear family and important business partners on the part of her husband. Alea gave a condition to hide this marriage from the beginning. And miraculously both her future husband and her two future in-laws agreed to it without much reason.

Arsenio Yudhistira, is not a man with a distended stomach and thick bewok. His face was handsome with a sharp nose. It's just that the cold attitude of the man makes anyone will not last long by his side. And now Alea's fate must accompany the man who is 8 years older than her.

With just that sentence in one breath, 19-year-old student Alea has officially become the daughter-in-law of the Yudhistira family. Replacing Marinka whose whereabouts are still unknown.

The sound of the door being knocked made Alea who was hugging tightly the photo of her parents turned to the door. From there, Amel— the woman who had become her mother-in-law walked over with a fluffy smile. He gently rubbed Alea's back with one hand, and the other hand was used to wipe away any trace of tears on the cheek.

"Let's get down, son. Arsen—suami you've been waiting downstairs" said Amel gently.

Putting a picture of her father and mother on the table, Alea received Amel's helping hand and walked down to the bottom floor. Everyone welcomed her arrival with a big smile and it was so warm. Arsen who was still sitting on the chair seemed to turn his head as Alea sat beside him.

"Why? Falling in love with your young and super beautiful wife?"

"Polite. I'm your husband now" whispered Arsen back.

Alea only smiled faintly in response to Arsen's words. Not a weak character in a forced marriage novel, Alea will become like herself at the age of 19.

After the event come file and so on. Alea was invited to greet one by one the guests who came. There is no reception after this, therefore all guests come on the same day with a marriage contract. However, Getting to know one by one the people who were at the event, Alea only realized that all who were here were members of the Yudhistira extended family. Starting from grandparents, pade, budhe, uncle, aunt to cousins Arsen. This husband seemed to have undoed the intention to invite his business partner.

"Why? Shocked because it turns out your husband is a good person who wants your feelings rather than inviting his business partner?"

Alea snorted bitterly at Arsen's words. The man replied to his sentence earlier with a row of very similar sentences. But even so, there was a sense of relief that Alea felt. This marriage will be more hidden without anyone else knowing, the safer Alea is not caught by her friends on campus.

"Bri, menanginin. This is aunt Jina, sister's mother"

Alea greeted the woman introduced by Amel. A woman who looks friendly and sad at the same time.

"Auntie smile dong, congratulations Alea ya bi wedding" said Alea. Alea's friendly attitude made her able to adapt quickly to the Arsen family. Even at the meeting that the incident was filled by her husband's family, Alea who was much more mixed and talkative. Arsen was silent and occasionally smiled briefly at the jokes of his cousins.

Buset. The refrigerator is called. Inner Alea.

"What age is Ms Alea?" ask Aunt Jani kindly.

"Life 19 years bi. This just entered the world of bi college" Alea replied kindly. Not wanting to be babu or ostracized in her husband's family, Alea must always be friendly.

"Still young. Hopefully Arsen can be able to air the friendly nature of Alea" said Jani.

Amel agreed with the spirit of his sister's speech. If she were Amel and had a child as cold as Arsen, Alea would have to painstakingly draw her son here to join the family.

"Hopefully Alea's arrival in our family can make Arsen and Wira even more cheerful" said Jani again.

Hero. That must be one of Arsen's cousins. Not knowing what was happening, Alea simply followed Aunt Jani's words.
