Forced Marriage

LIZA POV

Happy Reading…..

Welcome to a new world, loyal readers.

I got off the taxi right in front of the Luxury Apartments at 21. 30 WIB. The weather outside was currently pouring rain. I immediately ran quickly into the apartment lobby. I first rested on a waiting chair available in the lobby. get off the taxi.

I looked at the mango that I had been holding in my hand, that mango was the one that my husband picked this morning, I brought the mango that I had not had time to open here, I intended to eat the mango when Sis Joan picked me up at her house.

This morning, Sis Joan, Sister Yuna and Sister Dafa left together to meet my in-laws. Before leaving, Sis Joan ordered me to stay in this apartment with Dilan until he came to pick me up, he also forbade me to activate my cellphone so that my location would not be tracked by anybody .

I covered my face in my palms , I cried silently , I was really very scared to face this situation .

“Are you in trouble son?” the middle-aged woman who was sitting next to me immediately reached out her hand to rub my back, it seemed she heard me sobbing softly.

I looked up and immediately brushed away the tears that had been rolling down my cheeks.

I try to keep smiling to hide my pain.

“No Auntie, I’m fine” I replied full of lies.

The woman shook her head while smiling “Don’t lie son, I am a psychologist so I can read your feelings right now”

I was stunned listening to the explanation from the woman who had just claimed to be a psychologist.

“My name is Kinanti Wirawan, I can help you to get rid of the excessive anxiety that is in you son, this is my business card, I also live in one of these apartment units” The doctor gave me a card of his own, I immediately took the card from his hands.

“Okay Auntie, I will call you soon” I smiled.

“I have to go now, please calm down, everyone in this world is never immune from problems that always haunt every human life” Doctor Kinanti again rubbed my arm, she stood up from her seat and put on her bag that had been placed on the chair.

The woman in formal dress stepped out of the lobby.

I could only stare at the woman’s back which slowly started to disappear from my sight, Kinanti Wirawan, that name seemed familiar to me. I’ve seen that name stuck somewhere, but I can’t remember where.

Oh well, I’m too tired to think about that. My eyes are very heavy at this time , I just want to sleep quickly to get rid of the sleepiness that had been attacking me .

I started to stand up from my sitting position, I started walking to take the elevator to Dilan’s apartment unit. In the empty elevator I kept staring at the mangoes that my husband picked directly, I grinned to myself when I remembered the expression on his face that looked very scared.

If I’m honest, during this week I was very happy living with Sis Joan. She was very different compared to when we lived in the main house. I also realized that Sis. Joan wasn’t as bad as I thought. She really cared about me and loved me.

I really like Sis Joan who lives as an ordinary human being compared to Sis Joan who lives as a CEO who has lots of wealth but doesn’t have time.

I’m scared, I’m really scared if papa Ansel does something to him. Why God? Why did you give the same ordeal to me and also to Sis Joan, we are just children who only need love not violence.

I wiped my tears when the elevator arrived at its destination, just as I was about to step out of the elevator suddenly a man wearing a black Hoodie sweater with his face covered in a black mask entered the elevator startled me, luckily I could recognize that the man was dilan .

” Liza , what are you doing here ? ” Dilan opened his mask and started to question my reason for coming to his place .

“I have a problem lan, why did I come here” I said softly, I immediately lowered my face.

Dilan lifted my chin slowly “Tell me, what are you doing with your crazy husband again?” Dylan’s face turned red with anger.

I shook my head “It’s not like that lan, it’s not because of Sis Joan but my in-laws”

Dilan immediately hugged my body suddenly .

” I already told Li , there is nothing wrong with the Rivenno family . ” Dilan rubbed my back .

I immediately pushed Dilan’s body slowly, Dilan’s hug made me feel uncomfortable, I realized myself that I was not a girl anymore, Dilan didn’t deserve to love me again, considering that he was still a virgin.

” Lan I’m really sleepy , can I sleep at your apartment tonight ? ” I tried to distract myself so Dilan would not be offended by my refusal just now .

“Okay Li, let’s just go to my apartment”

Dilan and I started walking side by side, one of Dilan’s arms wrapped around my body which started to stagger against sleepiness.

Checkeeek.

The apartment door was immediately opened using a secret code that only Dilan knew.

“Come in Lee!”

I immediately entered ahead of Dilan, I immediately laid down my tired body on the sofa in front of the TV while waiting for Dilan to enter his room.

I blinked my eyes for a moment until finally Dilan’s booming voice was heard again.

“Li, don’t sleep on the sofa, just sleep in my room”

There is only one bedroom in this apartment, because this apartment unit is facilitated only for one person to live in. Dilan prefers to buy a smaller unit than a larger unit so that it is not difficult for him to take care of and clean this room alone.

Dilan started helping me dry my soaked hair, he also gave me a pair of women’s nightgowns that were none other than my own. I used to spend the night here when my mom and dad had a tantrum, so I ran away from my apartment and moved to Dilan’s apartment for a few days, and of course I brought a suitcase of clothes that I kept here until now in case I stayed overnight suddenly .

“You just change clothes in my room Li, you don’t have to take a shower at this time of night!”

“Yes Lan, thank you and forgive me because I keep bothering you”

“Li, you know that I love you, so don’t ever hesitate to ask me for help.” Dilan ruffled my hair slowly.

I just smiled in response to Dilan’s words, I was very ashamed to keep bothering him, I know very well how hurt Dilan was when he found out that I was pregnant with Sis Joan’s child. I’m just afraid that in the end all Dilan’s kindness to me will only become a pile of wounds that actually hurt him even more. again, now my feelings for Sis Joan are deeper than I imagined.

I could not hold back the turbulent tears asking to be released, I half ran to the bathroom.

My tears spilled out, I looked at myself in the big mirror that was in the bathroom.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Why am I so hypocritical and disgusting like this, I have always been a burden to everyone, to my parents who don’t want me to exist in this world, and also to the two men who don’t know how it will end if they continue to live beside me.

Sigh… Sigh…

I cried uncontrollably followed by the sound of running water coming from the faucet that I deliberately turned on so that the sound of my crying was faint.

I held my head which already felt dizzy because I had been crying too long in the bathroom, with my body staggering I tried to change my clothes into the pajamas that Dilan gave me.

After finishing changing my clothes, I first washed my face using water, so that my puffy eyes would not be too obvious when Dilan saw it.

I came out of the bathroom, there was already Dilan who was changing his blue bed sheet with a tayo animation pattern which was replaced with a pink sheet with Barbie on it.

“Why replaced Lan?”

“The one wearing it also looks like Barbie, that’s why I changed it” Dilan muttered with a wink.

“You can just do it”

” Lan this is your room , you just sleep here let me sleep on the couch ” I continued .

” Li , you are a girl and also pregnant . So it ‘s better for you to sleep in this room so it ‘s safer , besides if a thief enters the living room it can be messy ” Dilan argued making me speechless .

” Okay Lan I obey ” I said , I began to lay my body on the bed with the Barbie sheets .

Dilan was standing in front of a large window showing a view of the city at night which was full of twinkling street lights, Dilan turned his body to see me lying down staring at the ceiling of the room.

“Li, what’s wrong with you?”

I got up from my lying position and started leaning my back on the head of the bed.

” My mother – in – law is furious because of the press conference I held a week ago , Sis Joan forbids me from going home with her because she is sure papa Ansel will do something to me ” Obviously I did not deviate from reality .

“Well, I thought the press conference made the Rivenno group company stable again, but how come it’s the other way around Li?”

“Hmmm” I took a deep breath.

“I also don’t know Lan, I didn’t expect the situation to get worse like this” I said in a resigned tone.

“Btw, I’m also sorry because I told the media that we don’t have a relationship that is more than just friends, because I’m afraid your career will be ruined because you’re involved with me.”

The man looked at me with an indescribable gaze.

“It’s okay Li, I understand why” He replied with a flat expression.

I’m sure that Dilan is very disappointed in me, from the beginning we were in a relationship, Dilan always asked me to publish our relationship, but I always refused because I was afraid of my parents’ anger.
