Why We Married?

Hefty

"His?" Call Laila to get rid of the blanket on my body, and turn my body facing the wall.

He rubbed my head and removed the hair that filled my entire face, and then turned to a round bowl with his vegetable fish soup.

"Feed yuk first!" His ink with a clear voice, looked at me with a bitter smile forced.

"Sorry Lai!" I answered, put the blanket back on my body."I'm not hungry!" I said briefly and flipped my body back towards the wall.

He put the round bowl on the table and rubbed my back.

"I think it's been 2 weeks!" He said with a trembling voice. "Why don't you want a story. The cave wants to know nyokap ama bokap lu if you are here, but you instead ga ngijinin. Cave confused what to do ama lu, I swear the cave is very worried about your current state!!" He patted my back hard.

"His?" Call her again in a soft tone.Laila immediately hugged my helpless body.

"Although you don't want to tell a story. Although you still want to be guaranteed the cave. Even though you don't want to tell the cave what happened. But you can see your current condition!!"

He held both of my cheeks.

"I'm like a crazy person you know. Look at your current situation, it has been past 2 weeks you are holed up in the cave kosan, you also have never been menggampus ampe children class you confused nyariin lu where, where, eat also you just eat a mouthful of rice abis that you say it's full!!"

Laila turned my body looking towards the window.

"And who made the cave does not abis think. Why do you tell your cousin to hang in front of the cave every day. Caves are confused, why don't you let him in and say good ama lu!"

Seen Hendri who stood in front of this boarding gate, he silently stared straight at the door of the boarding laila with a flat gaze with almost no expression, a characteristic that he often shows if he was alone.

16 Days after the incident, I stayed at the laila boarding house and never got out of the room for that long.

And 14 days after the incident, Hendri learned of my whereabouts and kept coming here.

Every day, he stood in front of the boarding laila, not making any meaningful movements, waiting for me to surrender to meet him.

"The cave can't keep seeing you in a state of the cake gini kept Him?" Laila lirih.

He sat my body down, and grabbed the hair that covered my face.

"If you have a problem, selesein, don't hide. If you keep clinging to the gini cake and do not know the problem-solving techniques, you will torture yourself!" Laila said half-screaming with a quivering voice.

"Anya sadaaar!"

I immediately wept before him, with all the fragility I had, with all the strength that was no longer left in my body.

I'm for this lousy me, so I don't dare to face something that is my responsibility, I lock myself here and shut myself out of the outside world.

************

Seen Hendri who greeted me in front of the Laila boarding house with sparkling eyes and an enthusiastic face by showing a smile that expands at both corners of his lips.

Without saying anything, he opened the car door and let me in.

It looks like Laila is waving at me with a bitter smile staring at my departure in front of her boarding house.

"I'm sorry, Madam!" Hendri said on his way to the apartment.

His first words after a long time of silence and awkward atmosphere. I just glanced at him who was focused on driving from behind the rearview mirror and saw his pale face tense up against this situation.

"Since the events of the past few weeks, I have not told you anything. And as long as the Madam is not home, you have never returned to the apartment because you are dealing with work!" Hendri was clear to me.

I immediately lowered my crossed arms tightly in front of my chest and looked at her back which was still focused on driving.

Whether this is good news or bad news, but after knowing that Archie did not know that I was not at home, and Hendri was silent about the incident at the hotel. All these coincidences made me come back with hope to behave accordingly.

Moreover, I who still do not understand must confess what in front of Archie about the incident that happened to me that night.

I am like a victim sacrificed through a ritual to achieve a great goal, but in every process the offering always encounters circumstances where conditions do not fit the plan, so it must turn around and sacrifice other circumstances.

"And like today, you're coming home to the apartment!" Hendri continued before I responded to his words earlier.

************

When I entered the apartment that I had not lived in for more than two weeks, I felt an unfamiliar atmosphere, especially I was careless to think about my behavior when faced directly with him.

"Poww..!!" Rebellious voice to surprise me made me daze.

He looked me in the face, and he looked happy after not seeing me for a month.

Without saying a word, he directly carried my body from the living room towards the large sofa into the study room, which then laid our bodies together.
