This marriage is not a dream marriage for me. Wedding dresses and all the accessories that become a decorator to look beautiful when people look at me. It's not like I think of it as clown gear.
The marriage that was supposed to be happiness, this time was very different. I accepted it because Uncle sold me out just to get money from my future husband. Really, how stupid of me that I'm willing to accept this marriage.
Am I happy? Obviously not. I was angry and I was upset with myself. Why can't I choose my own marriage to the man I love?
My body is helpless. I collapsed so I didn't realize I was sitting in the corner of the bed. Crying is all I can do right now. Maybe this way I can reduce the burden that has accumulated these few days.
I hope Mr. Alvin breaks off this marriage. However, if Mr. Alvin cancels this marriage, it means that Uncle will bear all the consequences of my carelessness.

"Wear it!" Aunt May suddenly came into my room. Hand over Mr. Hilda's wedding dress to me.
I'm bowed. Didn't expect Mr. Alvin to continue this marriage. Though this afternoon, the envoy has been maki-maki, and has given me a pretty terrible ultimatum. However, Mr. Alvin continues this marriage.
"Mr Alvin continues this marriage. So tomorrow, act like normal. Be a obedient woman. Don't argue with her words!" As usual, Aunt May threatened me. As he ran out of words to advise me.
I nodded slowly.
"Auntie, thank you" I said slowly.
"Thank you for what?" Aunt May was surprised to hear what I said as if it was the last day she would meet me.
"For the good of Aunt May and Uncle Ben of course. I know, Auntie and Uncle actually love me. It's just that I'm too defiant of you, that makes you angry at me" I said.
"Ah, you are this. It is I who should be thanking you. If it wasn't for your services, I don't know what would've happened to us. Maybe we'll be a bully on the streets," he concluded.
"Aunt May, may I hold you just this time. Right now, I miss Mom." I asked, not feeling any tears in my eyes and Aunt May's eyes.
Aunt May hugged my body tightly. Tonight, I felt how warm the love that Aunt May gave me through her arms. Tonight is the last night I'm in this house. Tomorrow, I'm at a stranger's house I've never met before.
And that stranger is going to be my husband, tomorrow and so on.

Next day.
Marriage really happens.
"I received the marriage and marriage of Daisy Rosalina bint Johan Efendi with a gold dowry weighing twenty-three carats and a luxurious house paid in cash." The voice of a foreign man sounded so loud when saying kabul ijab in pengulu. With one breath and it's passed.
"How are the witnesses? Right?" ask Mr. Penghulu.
"Well." Right."
"Bech ...."
"Amale ...."
They prayed that my marriage would last. There is something strange about this marriage. Mr. Alvin said his kabul ijab through a video call connected by an assistant named Dave.
So, is this marriage legal? They think it is legitimate. It's just a different way. I don't know, the most important thing is that I'm now officially Madame Alvin Media Utomo.
Mr. Dave approached me and congratulated me because I had officially become his master's wife.
"Thank you, Mr. Dave, you are a kind secretary" I said.
I saw him smile bitterly at me.
"Let's miss, we go to the house where Mr. Alvin awaits your arrival."
"Alright, I'm following you, Mr. Dave," I replied grinning. I would love to scratch her face. However, I remembered Aunt May saying that I should always obey the man.
I followed where the man was going. When all my clothes were put in the trunk of the car. I just keep quiet. It's free for me to rebel, in the end I'll lose too.
"Miss, remember. When you are at the home of the Master. Be reasonable and I hope you can keep your attitude in front of Mr. Alvin." The secretary reminded me of my duties when I got to my husband's house.
"Alright Mr. Dave, I've understood what you're saying. The rest if I forget, please remind me again."
"Hem ...." That's all the secretary Dave can say. If he said one more sentence, the answer would be very long.
Shortly after, the sound of a car was heard. Dave drove his car to the house where Mr. Alvin was waiting for him and me.
🍁🍁🍁
The car enters the main gate. Enter the courtyard of the house that is immeasurable. This is not a house, but a royal palace. Look, there's a courtyard planted with colorful flower plants. There are roses, jasmine flowers, lotus flowers, dahlias all flower plants are here.
The car kept going. Entering the main page of the house. Then stop. My journey seems pretty short. Secretary Dave got out of the car, and he quickly stepped into the car door on the left, opening the car door where I was going to get out.
"More times let me open the door for you, Miss" he said, bowing.
"It's okay, Dave. I am not used to bothering others. I'm used to being independent" said ketus.
"Alright I understand your nature for now Miss. Please, Miss go inside. There are already servants who will serve you as long as you stay in this house." Secretary Dave explained.
"Okay," I said briefly, then I entered Alvin's magnificent mansion.
This house turns out to be like a palace in a fairy tale. When I first entered the house, what I saw first was furniture neatly arranged in every corner of the room. Then, my eyes were fixed on the decorative lights hanging from the ceiling. As well as carving and color selection in this house, it is very elegant and charismatic. No wonder also because who lives maybe a man whose face looks like a royal prince in the middle of nowhere.
"Welcome to Mr. Alvin's house, Miss. Let me take you to the private room, Miss." One of the servants there greeted me warmly. I smile. There are still people who are friendly to me. Obviously they have to be friendly, if they are not friendly, they would have been fired.
"Thank you for the welcome. Oh, yes, where is Mr Alvin? I want to meet him. At once I wanted to thank her for letting me out of Aunt May's cruelty." I smiled in a friendly manner.
"Sir Alvin is in his room, Miss. But, don't you want to see Miss's room first? Looks like Miss needs some rest. Let me take the lady to Miss's room" said the maid. He deliberately distracted me so I forgot to see Alvin.
I just say yes to her words, then follow her from behind.
"Well, this is Miss's room, huh? Miss is changing clothes! Mr. Alvin is waiting for you in the dining room, Miss." said another waiter in front of my private room.
"All right, thank you" I said, bowing.
The next second, the two maids left me alone to enter the bedroom.
Immediately I put my foot in the room. Then, I tidy up the clothes into a large cupboard that was already prepared for me.
I watched the whole room. It turned out that the contents and furniture were not much different from those outside earlier.
I sniffed my sense of smell. It smells good and my skin is sticky too. Forcibly, I cleaned my body in the bathroom.
Hem, it's really comfortable in this house. Surely I feel at home living in my inner Alvin house.
🍁🍁🍁
"How, does he like the welcome from this house, Dave?" A man who was sitting, said to Dave. His tone was very simple. It sounded a bit stiff and cold as well.
"Like it, sir. He also talked to me too much today about the atmosphere in this house. How, does Mr Alvin like it?" Dave answers.
"Alright for now, let him rest. Oh, yes Dave, tonight make a special dinner to welcome him" orders Alvin.
"Ready sir, do it." said Dave. Then just leave.
...
"Please Miss. Mr. Alvin is waiting for the lady at the dinner table." said the waiter at the house.
"All right I'll be there soon." I said and went to the dining table where Alvin was waiting for me.
One step ...
Two steps ...
Three steps ...
I was standing right behind my husband's body. Whatisthis? Why is Alvin in a wheelchair? Heart wonders.
Spontaneously, I patted her on the shoulder and then walked forward to notice the figure of my husband Alvin.
How surprised I was, when I saw the real face of Alvin. He's a ugly face. Full of scars on both cheeks and at the temples of his eyes.
I decided my mouth was suddenly shocked when I saw my husband's face. I returned Alvin's smile and ...
"Sorry Miss, Mr. Alvin cannot accompany you to eat. Please Miss eat as much. Whatever the lady's request, we'll give you, thank you." Someone patted me on the back of the shoulder.
How surprised I was when someone surprised me. Buyar has been imaginary imagination of me about the figure of Mr. Alvin.
" Why doesn't your master want to see me who is clearly my wife?" ask the waiter.
" I don't know Miss, sorry I just obeyed the order, Miss. Excuse me." he said goodbye.
It is with a heavy heart that I enjoy dinner with my solitude at the dinner table.
' What's the reason for never meeting me here? Am I less beautiful. Or is he ashamed of being deformed? Aah it is possible that he is indeed busy today.' my murmur deepened.
Seriate....
