"Wake up!"
The two sleeping humans were awake at the same time. Amara and Dimas tiptoed in shock. The sound of screaming accompanied by a bang on the car door managed to tease them from the warmth of the dream cradle.
Amara blinked to gather awareness. Spreading his gaze around, then he realized that he slept all night in the car. His fingers moved to rub his eyes to ascertain the truth of what he saw just now.
Amara. The dark atmosphere last night had changed the light of morning. However, something was a bit strange this time. There are so many such compact people swarming around Dimas cars. Amara guessed that some people consisting of men and women were local residents of this area. The girl then glanced to the right side, where Dimas also looked confused.
"No, there are a lot of people, Mom? What's up, huh?" amara asked confused.
"I don't know. Uh, can't they help us get rid of that fallen tree?" guess Dimas was so enthusiastic. The man's eyes immediately sparkled with pleasure.
Different expressions were shown by Amara. What he was thinking was different from Dimas's way of thinking. The girl felt that something was awkward, seeing how the facial expressions of the impressed citizens were like they were surrounded by them.
"Down, yuk," Dimas asked later. Without a second thought, the man immediately opened the car door and went downstairs intending to greet the residents.
Although actually reluctant because he felt something was wrong, but in the end Amara also followed down from the car.
Justright. As they were about to say hello, they suddenly blocked Dimas and Amara without warning. They are treated like guilty people.
"Eh Sir! What the fuck!" Confused dimas tried to rebel.
"Don't try to escape!" A well-built man in a village official kit outfit gave a stern warning.
"Swash how, sir? Instead we want to ask for help because all night stuck here!" In order to avoid misunderstanding, Dimas tried to explain. However, I don't know what has happened until these people don't want to believe it.
"I get reports from the citizens if you've been perverted in this place."
"Easter?" Dimas and Amara were both shocked. The two looked at each other, then shook their heads together.
"That's not true, sir, all this is just a misunderstanding!" Amara spoke up to give an explanation, hoping that this misunderstanding could be cleared up.
"Can I show you my identity card?"
Without a second thought, Amara and Dimas gave their identity cards. The man who allegedly was a village head was paying close attention to the identity cards of Amara and Dimas. After a while, he shook his head like he was inexhaustible.
"Obviously already caught red-handed, still wanting to dodge too!" The village chief snapped while staring at Dimas and Amara alternately. "You are not a couple, but you dare to pervert in the village!"
"This is not true, sir. This is not true!" Amara screamed half hysterically. "All of this is out of our control. On the way home, the tree suddenly fell. Our travel was automatically disrupted. The only access to the highway was cut off. The rain was also very heavy, the lightning was also thundering. Because of fatigue and the day getting late, then we unconsciously overslept. Trust me sir, we don't do anything even in the same car."
"You can explain it in the village office." The flat-faced man turned around after saying so.
"What!"
Dimas and Amara looked at each other. The panic is growing. They did not expect this incident would have a long tail. His explanation did not even change the situation at all.
Not accepting himself being slandered recklessly, Dimas tried to escape to defend. "But, Pak–"
"Quick! Dribble them!"
***
"How are the witnesses?"
"Well!"
"Goddessa ...."
One sentence that Dimas said even with a forced heart, in fact has changed the status of his relationship with Amara. A small village office witnessed the wedding. Also foreigners who have just been found also took part in preparing the event. Starting from matchmaking unilaterally, providing a place, preparing witnesses, even inviting a ruler to marry.
"Now you have become lawful husband and wife!" the man who was the head of the village told Dimas and Amara. While the two people in front of him were precisely silent without a word.
Marriage is a symbol of love. Being the happiest moment. Historical sacred events that will not be forgotten until the end of the age. However, all of that was not felt by Dimas and Amara. An unexpected marriage, without love, just suddenly happens to them.
Everything happens out of control. Dimas and Amara who were driven to the local village did not succeed in convincing all residents. Then in the name of accountability, both are simply married off.
Dimas and Amara don't even know where they're wrong. Just a trivial reason to sleep together in one car. Without touching, let alone hugging, the accusation of perverted deeds had ruthlessly lay down. There is nothing that both can do but surrender, in order to avoid the anger of the citizens. No one defended, for there was no one known to Amara. The scene was not the hometown of his parents.
The village chief and residents released Amara and Dimas' return after the tree was successfully conditioned. No conversation during a long trip. Both are busy struggling with each other's worries. Until after arriving home, Dimas even locked himself in the room until the next day.
Amara felt guilty. The girl was endlessly shedding tears every thought of the event. The inner pressure is increasingly heavy when Dimas always avoids. Use a lot of excuses to avoid meetings.
"Euis, you feel not at all, the atmosphere of the house so not good gini?" Eli, who was getting uncomfortable with the atmosphere of the house, could not help but talk. While stirring his cooking, he glanced at Euis who was busy washing dishes.
"Feel the hell, Mak. It felt really, really," the girl replied with a sad mimic.
"God's destiny is full of surprises, yes. We never thought Mas Dimas would marry Amara. If my mother agrees. Agree, in fact. But they both seem to be hit that way, yeah."
"How not to be hit, Mom. They both have their own partners." Euis turned to Eli and returned the woman's gaze. "And how, after all, can Mas Dimas and Teh Amara come together if this marriage happens without love?"
"Come, Euis. My mom is confused. We wait for Father and Mother to go home. Let everything be clear. If it's like this, you can only feel sorry for Mas Dimas and Amara."
"Same atuh, Mak."
***
A dry throat, forcing Dimas to come out of the room. The man in pajamas walked casually down the stairs. He intended to take water in the kitchen refrigerator because the water supply in his room refrigerator happened to run out.
The wall clock showing at eleven o'clock at night made the mansion feel silent. This was a good time for him to see an atmosphere other than the silence of his room, without having to think of a thousand reasons to avoid greeting someone.
Dimas opened the refrigerator door, took a bottle of mineral water from there, then sipped it right away. The man was still acting ordinary because he thought he was only alone there. However, when he closed the refrigerator door and turned around, his facial expression immediately changed when he found someone standing in front of him.
Dimas steps choked. His expression looked flat. However, his hand squeezed the bottle of mineral water in his grasp. There was a dislike from his sight. It was further strengthened with the head moving to the right, as if he was deliberately avoiding a point of view.
While the figure standing in front of him was precisely the opposite. Keep looking with a stern expression, even though it was done just to cover the fragile side in him.
Just a few moments the two faced each other in silence, for a moment later, Dimas decided to just move on and pass the girl by. However, he was forced to stop his steps immediately when the girl stopped forcefully.
"Mas, I want to talk!"
