Your charms are diverting my love

Queen Drama

My house still feels so bland. Still like this, it has not changed even though it has been the eighth month of my marriage with Danial. An authoritative, handsome, and humorous teacher in front of his students. But not with me.

Tonight I'm at my in-laws' house. As usual, once a week we stayed at Mama's house. My loving mother-in-law is the same as my own mother. Understandably since childhood I have been very close to my husband's family, even I have been considered like his own son. They love me very much, but not my husband.

“How, Vit? Already pregnant? That's your papa ask mama keep.” My mother-in-law asked as she poured water into the glass. We were in the dining room, for dinner.

I looked down and gave my sweetest smile to my mother. He must not know that I am still a virgin until now. Mama and Papa must not know that her only son has never touched me, even though after our marriage it has been eight months.

Strange but real. The first few months of my marriage were the most beautiful days. Full of passion, excitement, sigh of pleasure, warm kiss, hug, and sweat sweat sweat passionately. It should have happened in these months, where we were going through the newlyweds phase. However, what happened to me were empty, empty days, no sparkling desire of the newlyweds. It was full of tears that I packed nicely with smiles and laughter.

“Not yet, Ma. Have patience, Ma, Pa? Pray for Vita and Mas Danial to be fast in love momongan,”, I said.

“You guys are fine, right? Where's Danial? How not to come down?” ask my father-in-law.

“He said there was a job, tomorrow it should have been handed over to Dinas he said,” replied I am from, whereas I know, my husband is reading a book, and my husband is reading a book, and was exchanging messages with a woman my husband might have loved all along.

“Once becoming a teacher, Dinas affairs alone are thought out, dealing with complicated people,”.

“Pa, the work of the teacher is very noble, Mas Danial also became an exemplary teacher, Pa. He's a great teacher, even Mas Danial wants to set up a free school specifically for children not able to afford. Isn't it noble that papa's son?” praise me with a smile in front of my father-in-law.

“Halah .. still papa has not sincerely become a teacher. He's papa's only son. Boys anyway. He should be papa's successor to continue papa's company. Not even you, Vita! You should be able to continue your father's business, even papa troublesome your father, asking you who really papa expect for papa company in the future,” said papa.

“Papa don't talk so much,” I said.

Indeed, since I was in High School, I was very interested in the business world. The value of my economics and accounting lessons is highest. I love doing business, it's probably because my father is a businessman who is no less great than Om Barata, who is now my father-in-law. From Junior High, I've been going to the office a lot, coming to daddy meetings, and I want to be like dad, I want to have a lot of company like dad and Om Barata. And, when my wish was known to Om Barata, Om Barata was very supportive, even though father whatever I want. I did get unstable, sometimes I really want to be an economics teacher, teach children in High School or in SMK, sometimes also want to be a doctor, but indeed I match to be a businessman, being CEO, but not in my own company, but in my father-in-law's company.

Ever since my father-in-law knew my business soul had been imprinted since I was in High School, he asked my father to go to college majoring in Business Management. I was educated by Papa in London, so I could deepen my business. I followed all that, although I was heavy, because I knew this would be the way, I had to marry the only son of Barata Adijaya and Tamara Angelina.

Not only business matters, I have been asked by my father and mother-in-law since Junior High, to be their only daughter-in-law. My life was indeed restrained at that time, but I had no other choice. There is only one dream, I want to be like a father, even though sometimes I want to be like this, want to be a teacher, so doctors, lawyers, lecturers, and others, because teenagers are still unstable. However, after I deepened my business knowledge, I liked it even more, it was not wrong that my two older brothers, and my older sister were also competing to become a businessman like my father.

“Vit, papa was very eager Danial like your two brothers, became a successful businessman, down your father, unlike Danial, instead he chose to be a teacher, very difficult he arranged,” said papa.

“Papa ... People's way of life is different, Pa? Not only his father is a businessman, his son must also be a businessman. A teacher can do business too? Many of Vita's friends who become teachers, also have businesses, have businesses?” my spoken.

“Yes, papa just regretted it, had the only child, and it was a boy, even like this. Good thing papa has a friend like your father, who is not angry that since childhood papa always asks you to be a son papa. And, finally papa can make you papa's son-in-law. Though you're your father's favorite son, and your father never curbed you into anything after you graduated school.” Papa.

“Perhaps because Vita was the last child, and Vita's three older siblings were able to continue the father's business, so the father released Vita. But, maybe the business blood is already flowing in the descendants of the father, yes Vita is now like this. Thank you Vita has trusted mama and papa to carry out the duties of mama and papa,”, I said.

“Papa also thank you very much, Vit. I want to help my mom and dad take care of everything, if not you who else? Mama and papa are getting dusk. Your father and mother are relieved, there are three children who continue, while papa and mama? Have Danial alone he always opposes when talking about the office,” said papa.

“Ma, Pa, pray for Vita, hopefully Vita can carry the trust of mama and papa, also be the best wife for Mas Danial,”.

“After there, call papa's brat, make dinner first,” papa's word.

“Iya, Pa. Vita called Mas Danial first,” I replied, then passed to the room calling my husband for dinner together.

I hesitated to take him to dinner, even everyday in our house we were not at all sorry. Unless there's something important about mom and dad, we just talked to each other. Silent, there was no sound in our house everyday, not even in our room.

I dare to call Mas Danial, because this is the order of papa and mama. If it wasn't for papa and mama I wouldn't have talked to her first, afraid I was wrong, and always remembered our first painful night. I just sat there with tears.

“Remember, I want to marry you, it's all because of mama!” That was the first sentence Mas Danial made on our first night.

“That match is not in the dictionary of my life! I realized I was a teacher, and many teachers out there were betrothed to their parents, but with the same line, not the opposite like this. A teacher wants to get a teacher, not an entrepreneur. The noblest job is a teacher, not an arrogant businessman anyway!”

I just lowered my head as my husband said in such a high tone. I cried, and wondered, am I arrogant? Do I hire my employees as well as I can? Squeeze his energy but his wages are below average? I'm not like that, I prioritize the welfare of all my employees, from the lowest part, to those who have a high position in the office. Mas Danial once said that to me. He said I was an arrogant person.

“Yes, I know it's not your fault. You also have no choice but to obey what you and your mother want. But, tonight you must understand, I do not love you, or rather I do not love you, Revita Adriyana!”

One by one my tears rolled more heavily into my lap.

I am Revita Adriana, look at me mas, I who was expected by your father and mother because you do not want and strongly reject the request of your father and mother to continue the company of your parents. Look at me, Mas, who is still wearing a fancy dress made by a famous designer and has just come down from a super magnificent dress. Look at me as your wife right now.

“Hmm .. but how else, Vit. Mama and papa are relying on you to continue the company? I can what the hell? I've already been accused of having a son who can't do anything and can't be relied on for the company!”

Danial sat on the sofa. He looked at me sharply. I'm getting down. Didn't expect that spicy phrase to come out of his mouth on our first night of marriage.

“I'm sorry, Vit. Starting tonight, as long as we stay with my mom and dad, I'll sleep on this couch. Later I will try to find a house for our residence, but you do not be surprised, I find a simple ordinary house, I am a teacher, not a businessman with a lot of money, although my father and my mother are businessmen, I do not want to bother him anymore, we will live in an ordinary house, I will find a strategic place, which is not far from my school,” he said.

I'm getting down. My tears poured out because my heart was slashed by his words. I don't know who I'm going to complain to? Why did he say that so? I know she's upset about this matchmaking, I know she needs time to adapt to her new life. But, couldn't she speak any more subtly without hurting my feelings? If he rejects me as his wife, can't he respect me as a woman?

“Iya, Mas. I understand it.” I answered, I lifted my head after I had wiped my tears. He didn't see me when I spoke, but he was busy with his dress.

The night after, my struggle began. There was no world war in my life, it was just a very terrible inner war from any war. We lived in one room, but every night we had a cold war. Not greeting each other, not talking to each other. We only exchanged smiles when outside the room, when with our parents, or when attending invitations. That's when we played, we exchanged smiles, put on matching clothes, looked like a happy couple, and after all the theatrics were done, we had to start our cold war again. I was the Drama Queen, and from then on, I started my drama.

That was all we went through for six months while my husband and I were still at my husband's parents' house. Until we moved home alone we were still a cold war, the difference is Mas Danial prefers to sleep in the guest room, not one more room with me.

I was stunned in front of the room, the room that witnessed my first heart-wrenching night. Remembering all my first night. I opened the door, and I called my husband to join dinner with his parents.
