"Why don't you try to reject it. Maybe you can think of another way, you're an adult, you can definitely make money. You don't have to force yourself to accept this marriage" Calvin said in a flat tone.
Zakira understood Calvin's thoughts about him. It didn't matter to him, which was important "If I waited for a job, my parents would have gone to jail, sir. I got married for money, but that's not all. I did all this for the sake of my parents so that I could live in peace at his age. They're old, I can't possibly let them go to jail. Let me live a miserable life, as long as my parents are happy."
Calvin was touched by what Zakira said. In this day and age, children rarely obey the wishes of parents. Especially if it is about marriage. On average they will maintain their relationship with the lover. He wondered how the girl's boyfriend would respond.
"What about your girlfriend?"
"I've been broken up since my family went bankrupt. She doesn't want me because I'm poor and she's afraid my parents will trouble her."
"There's a man like that in this world too."
"much. Friends who think you can stab from behind."
Calvin frowned as he looked at Zakira intently. He felt there was meaning behind the girl's words, there was a wound in it he could feel it from the look of the eye.
"If you are alone, why not try to resist it? I think you have the strength to resist" asked Zakira as well as diverted the conversation. He knew that Calvin suspected something.
"Yes, it's true, but it's not as easy as it says. Maybe because I have rejected too many women, to make mama already understand definitely my next rejection. Mama's trying to make me not get cut."
Zakira nodded, she quite understood Calvin's position. However, he was amazed at the man for still accepting his mother's request. It was clear that there was no love and attachment between them.
"I honestly can't promise you what our marriage will be like. That's why I'm asking you to talk here because it's only in this place where the CCTV is far enough away, so papa and mama won't listen."
"What does Mister want to say?"
"I can't have a marriage with a woman I don't love at all. I hope you understand, that's why I want you to agree that this marriage will only take place for the next year. After that I'll divorce you and I'll make sure you're free of this house, without fear of the debts your father previously owed you."
Zakira froze, she was so shocked by what she had just heard. Even she could not move her body, not expecting the future husband to say that. He was forced to undergo this marriage, but that does not mean that the woman is playing with a marriage bond. Especially if you plan a farewell, at the age of their wedding will be one year. It never really stuck in his head.
"Why don't you just try to make our marriage last?" zakira asked after gathering her courage. He was completely shocked until his body trembled.
"That's impossible. I've been on my own for five years, a lot of women have always approached me. From the most innocent to the most s*xy, none of them caught my attention. How could I possibly be interested in you" said Devan, who sounded like he was mocking Zakira. Not for Calvin, though, because he was just saying what he felt, no matter how others felt.
"What if before a year you've fallen in love with me?"
"I'm just saying how, anything could have happened, right? We don't know how we're going so, I'm just asking for what's going to happen."
"If your question is like that, I don't know the answer either because I can't feel it at all."
Zakira's current feelings could not be described with words, but the woman was also already no longer likely to reject this marriage. Maybe it was her wedding destiny. He finally decided to follow Calvin's wishes.
"Well, we just go through everything until the deadline of the next year, but to live that one year, I also have a desire."
"What's? If I can fulfill it, I will."
"I'd like for that one year, you treat me like a Wife."
"What do you mean? I don't understand at all."
"Yes, like the treatment of husband to wife in general. You must fulfill my wish whatever it is. You must also pamper me like a Wife, You must also let me meet your daily needs. Nor can you refuse any gift from me and anything I do to you."
"Is that also included in the bed? Are you going to give it to me?"
"That's your right. It's up to you to take it or not because I realize that this marriage is only one year. I will definitely sin if I refuse your request."
Calvin seemed to think for a moment then nodded. "Alright, I agree to your terms. I will also try to be a responsible man and be a good husband.
"So is I. I have very little knowledge about the household. For cooking only I can only cook simple dishes. If later does not suit your taste, forgive me. We're both still learning, hopefully in the future it's better."
The two talked for a while, until Zakira finally resigned. She went to her room and the girl also needed to calm down after talking to her future husband. Calvin looked at Zakira's departure with an unreadable look. He was also very confused about his life.
On the one hand, the man also wants to be like other human beings, to love and be loved. On the other side of his heart was still wounded, he did not believe in the existence of true love. To him it was just nonsense, love could only hurt. Calvin did not want to feel hurt a second time. That was why he chose to close his heart tightly because the wound was still not dry.
"Hopefully this decision is correct. I don't want to give her false hope. She's a good girl, she shouldn't be tied to my life like this. He also deserves to be happy with the person he loves and loves" Calvin said. He felt unworthy of Zakira.
