Why We Married?

Cowardly

"Please drink!" I said while offering them drinks.

Hendri, Archie, and Shin. The three of them sat facing each other in an awkward situation. Shin occasionally threw a glance towards Archie, and Archie replied to Shin with the same gaze. They both intimidated each other.

"Ahh..anu. please drink!" I try to break the mood.

Only Hendri was unmoved and replied to me with a friendly smile and drank the tea I provided.

"You're still living in a slum like this, Tanaka!" Said Archie suddenly while looking at the ceiling that had been porous and almost collapsed, even had undergone several repairs here and there.

Suddenly Hendri choked and hurriedly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

Shin smiled."You too." The reply while sipping tea, "your nature is still the same huh Yuaga. It's so ugly and disgusting!!" Reply Shin.

The situation was suddenly tense, The two of them looked at each other in silence. It was like watching two samurai battle each other with swords.

How's this. Why am I in a situation like this.

"What are you doing here. And why are you with my sister!!" Asked Shin with his distinctive snapping tone, firm yet gentle.

Archie looked at me before answering. It's like he's making a consideration.

"I'll tell you this in person!" Archie.

Shin's waiting.

"There's your sister, is my wife who's been missing for the past three years!"

Shin was shocked and looked at me directly.

"And his name is not Sada, but Anya Arelista!"

"What!" Shin shocked. "A blank slug what else are you saying!"

Archie was indifferent and sipped the tea I served.

As for me trying to hide my gaze to avoid this awkward situation, what else was that last night, we.

Oh, my God, I'm really crazy. Please, I hope Shin doesn't know.

"Wife said!" Shin inflamed, "how can I believe your shit is fucking!"

Archie replied to Shin with a faint smile.

"Niichang!" I held Shin's arm.

"Yuag. You think how long we've known each other. You can't even hold a woman's hand let alone touch them with your own!" Said Shin angrily. "All you can do is torture them by making them cry. Then, you want me to believe all this bullshit!!"

Shin's face flushed red withstanding growling. But Archie was unmoved in the face of Shin's attitude.

"Tanaka!" Call Archie and put his cup on the table, "if you really know me, then you also know that I don't like to waste time. Especially when it comes to things that don't matter."

Shin looked at Archie with inflamed eyes.

"Now tell me the truth!" Archie leaned forward."Where, the last time you met my wife."

Shin quiet.

"Tell me the truth, Tanaka!"

Shin remained silent. But his facial expression changed.

"Because, whatever you're gonna say later. All of that would be useful for Sada to discover what happened to her before her memories disappeared!" Continue Archie.

Shin softened, in silence his eyes danced with doubt. Shin looked at everyone in the room one by one restlessly. Then throw your face towards the window.

"There!" Call Shin suddenly.

"Yes!" My answer.

"Go to your room. I have something to talk to them about!" Her request.

"But, Niichan.."

"Him!" Archie hinted at me to obey Shin's words. "Come in. Maybe your brother wants to say something you shouldn't have heard!"

I looked at the three of them in turn. They all looked at me, waiting for me to leave this place immediately.

"All right!" I walked up and hurriedly left them.

Bruuuk....

I lay my body on the bed while covering my own eyes with my arms. But my head continued to drift towards their conversation, questioning the intent of all this.

What happened to my life, who I was before my memory disappeared. Is it true that I am the wife of the conglomerate's son.

The presence of Archie Yuaga was like a dream in broad daylight. Thought how it would feel impossible if I were his wife.

What about his wife now. Which even many are rumored not good by some people. Is, it's true he never once touched his wife because he was not interested in women. Then, what about last night, why he was so violent when he made love to me.

"Hhhhhh...!!" Suddenly I smothered my own face with a pillow in shame.

The shadow of his body, and also the way he played me really drove me crazy. Which woman can forget that incident only overnight. Although I was aware and had done wrong, but why do I feel so craving it.

"I'm completely insane!" I muttered while closing my eyes.

Brainskkk....

Suddenly there was a sound like an object that hit from outside along with the sound of commotion.

I wanted to get out but came to a halt when I heard Archie and Shin's voice engaging in a fierce conversation.

"You're nuts. How can you treat a woman like that. Are you insane, have you lost your mind!" Shin screeched.

I panicked, and looked for gaps around my bedroom door to clearly hear their conversation.

"I had no choice but to do it. I don't want to hurt him too far. You don't know how often he gets hurt for protecting me!" Reply Archie.

"But you did. You've made him more than just suffer!!" Shin sounded angry.

Suddenly silent atmosphere.

"Over these three years, I've done everything I could to find her. Even if I never stopped looking for her." Archie.

Silent again.

"you might not believe it. But Anya was the girl I meant at the time. He's the guy I told you about, who drove me crazy and almost lost his mind."

There was no conversation after that, but their footsteps rang out again and disappeared.

Unfortunately, their conversation was no longer heard. And replaced by the rustling sound of the wind that hit the peach tree near the window of my room.

"What are they talking about. Why do they look so serious!" I murmured as I threw my body back on the bed.

It had been 30 minutes, but their conversation was not over.

My bed feels warm, my body is tired, the sound of leaves in the wind makes me sleepy. I finally decided to go to sleep and close my eyes.

But suddenly the door of my room opened and someone entered my room carelessly without knocking on the door first.

"sir-sir Yuaga!" Call me awkwardly while tidying up.

He approached, then noticed that the rest of my room contained not much valuables. In addition to just old cabinets, chairs, dressers, foam mattresses, and also some worn dolls given Mia.

"Why did you get in here?" I was half-vigilant.

He did not answer but sat down next to me.

How did he get into my room, did Shin himself allow him to be here.

"There's something I want to say!" He said with a lethargic face.

I waited.

"Him!" Call her.

He held my hand and rubbed it gently.

I'm sorry!!" Said suddenly.

I chose silence because I didn't know what to respond to her apology.

"I'm sorry for everything. For everything that happened. For what happened to you until now!" His word.

"But, sir. I'm.."

"The last time we met, it was the day I left you, and decided to divorce and marry another woman!" Cut it.

"What?" I'm shocked.

He held his breath as he said it, then lowered his silence.

"That was the most painful moment of my life. Compared to my pain. I'm sure you're the one who's suffering the most."

He clasped my hand, his originally warm hand now turned cold and sweaty.

"I'm sure after our farewell at that time something happened. But I don't know where to start, because you suddenly disappeared and left me all but destroyed. I couldn't think straight after, as I thought about you, I went crazy and made your search efforts all worth it."

He stopped with a gasp of breath, cold sweat began to overwhelm the corner of his temple.

"I'm sorry. Sorry for continuing to do something bad to you." He said and sat down before me.

"P-sir, don't be like this. Please, this is too.."

"I love you!" Cut again.

I'm speechless.

"I love you. More than anything, even myself!"

Her tears flowed from between my fingers, and fell on the floor.

"And if you ask me why I did all those stupid things." He lifted his head and turned his face. "Because I'm a coward!"
