Forced Marriage

Joan Pov

It was getting late, I immediately invited my wife who was enjoying the beach view to leave that place.

” Where are we going bi ? ” Liza furrowed her brow , she looked very curious .

“My house” I replied briefly, I returned to focus on playing the steering wheel staring at the street

“Do you have a house here?” Liza smiled slyly.

“I have, it’s just that I rarely go there”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Liza shaped her mouth into an O ” Ooh , did you buy that house ? ”

“No, it’s the result of my hard work. Papa, mama, even Sis Sarah doesn’t know about the house. That’s why I invited you here so no one can find us” I explained at length, I did intend to hide in that house for a few days with Liza until things really get better. If I go home now, I can confirm that papah will judge Liza because he thinks that Liza’s false confession was really done by him.

I stopped my car at a second floor house that looks simple but seems minimalist.

Liza immediately ran into the house without waiting for me who was still parking the car. There she immediately met Bi Mimin, the person I assigned to look after the house, she also has a house not far from this place.

” Eh Aya Aa Joan ? ” asked Bi Mimin with her Sundanese accent when she saw me walking towards her .

“Yes, Bi, we haven’t seen each other for a long time.” I immediately shook hands with the middle-aged woman. Likewise with Liza, who also shook hands with Bi Mimin after me.

” Who is that , beautiful , how are you , A ? ” asked Bi Mimin who was getting curious about Liza ‘s figure .

I smiled then looked at Liza and Bi Mimin in turn ” No, she is Liza my wife and soon I will be a papah ” I answered which immediately made Bi Mimin cover her mouth with her palms in disbelief .

” Masya Allah , why did you get married , did you not tell your aunt A ? Auntie thought you were still single , but it turns out that you already have this beautiful girl ” Bi Mimin immediately hugged Liza .

Bi Mimin is like a surrogate mother to me, when I have a problem and run here, Bi Mimin is the one who always takes care of me and supports me.

“Alright, let’s go inside, poor Liza, it’s going to be cold when we’re outside for a long time”

I immediately took my wife’s hand to enter the house following Bi Mimin who had already entered.

” Punten well , the house is a bit messy because Auntie has not had time to clean up ” Bi Mimin put on a face full of guilt .

Liza approached Bi Mimin, who was opening a white cloth covering that served as a protector for unused items such as sofas and so on so that they would not be exposed to dirt and dust.

” It ‘s okay , this house looks neat and clean ” said Liza , that woman really can’t make people feel guilty .

” Yes ma’am , in fact I really thank you because aunt has taken care of this house while I ‘m not around ” I added from behind them .

“Yes, I’m fine, if you don’t mind, but if you need anything, just call your auntie at the house next door.”

” You really won’t stay here ? ” Liza asked .

” Henteu atuh girl aunty lives next door ” explained Bi Mimin to which Liza gave a small nod immediately .

” Yes dear , Bi Mimin does not stay here because she also has her own house ” I said .

I immediately helped Bi Mimin replace some of the lamps that had been damaged , while Liza was still busy tidying up things that were not in an orderly position .

After I finished replacing the broken lights, I started to turn to helping Liza.

“Li just let me, you just sit down anyways you can’t be tired right”

” It ‘s okay , anyways this is not a hard job , I ‘m still strong by ” Liza said , the woman continued her work .

I can only take a deep breath seeing my wife ‘s stubborn attitude .

” Bi Mimin is checking the ingredients in the kitchen , you just help her baby , let me clean this stuff right ! ” I said trying to distract her .

“Okay bye, I’ll go to the kitchen first.” Liza said goodbye, the woman immediately stepped into the kitchen leaving me alone who was still busy tidying up the position of the sofas and other items in the living room.

15 minutes later I had finished arranging the position of the items very neatly, I immediately rushed to the kitchen to see Liza and Bi Mimin who had not yet come out.

There I saw Bi Mimin who was cutting vegetables and Liza who was busy washing rice in the kitchen sink. I didn’t expect them to start cooking right away, I thought that Bi Mimin just wanted to check the ingredients.

I hugged my wife’s body from behind which made her immediately startled.

” Have you finished cleaning up ? ” Liza turned to me without letting go of my hand that was wrapped around her stomach .

“Yes” I said with a smile growing on the corners of my lips.

Bi Mimin could only shake her head at my treatment .

“girl, Auntie never thought that Aa Joan could be as romantic as a woman, Auntie even thought that Aa Joan didn’t like the opposite sex, Auntie was really surprised when she found out about your marriage,” said Bi Mimin, which made me a little embarrassed in front of my own wife. .

“Hehehe… I really don’t like girls.” I chuckled, trying to stay calm and look so cool.

Bi Mimin raised her eyebrows “Why is that old lady Liza naon Aa? Is she also a girl?”

” Her name is Liza Bi , not a girl , I just like Liza not a girl ” I objected immediately getting a small pinch in my stomach area from my wife .

Bi Mimin’s laughter broke instantly when she saw Liza with her annoyed face continuing to pinch my stomach.

” It hurts you know ” I protested after Liza stopped pinching me .

” That ‘s why if you say that makes sense ! ” Liza said with a cold look .

” I feel sorry for Aa , after all she ‘s just being silly aka joking ” Mimin started to enlighten me so that Liza would no longer be upset with me .

“Yes, ma’am, I’m just teaching him a lesson so he won’t be rude to his parents” Liza said to Mimin, now she has finished washing the rice and turns to Bi Mimin to help her cut the vegetables.

I can only take a deep breath when Liza releases my hug roughly , that woman is very sensitive lately , every word and behavior I say is always wrong in her eyes .

“It’s okay bro, just let my aunt cut the vegetables”

” It ‘s okay , bi , it ‘s okay to cook it quickly ” Liza started to take a knife and started cutting some of the vegetables that she had divided evenly with Bi Mimin ‘s share .

“How many months have you been pregnant?” Bi Mimin asked while stroking my wife’s stomach which was starting to fill up.

” About a month bi ” I answered before Liza .

Bi Mimin immediately turned to me and left the activity of cutting vegetables.

” It ‘s still vulnerable , if it ‘s a month , Egirl Liza should just rest , ” Bi Mimin suggested .

“Yes, ma’am, I’ve also told Liza to take a break but she’s really stubborn” I said which immediately made my wife feel cornered.

“You guys just calm down after you finish cooking I will also take a break” Liza said looking at me and Bi Mimin in turn.

Bi Mimin smiled in relief , so did I .

Bi Mimin resumed her cooking activities, this time she began to put the vegetables that had been cut into a pot of boiling water.

” Oops , it looks like something is missing , can I believe it ? ” Bi Mimin slapped her forehead when she found one ingredient that was missing .

” What ‘s missing ? ” Liza asked .

” Not enough carrots , bro , it ‘s impossible to make vegetable soup without carrots , the taste will not be complete , ” said Bi Mimin after realizing that one of the main ingredients was not available .

“It’s okay bi, don’t use carrots either” I said to Bi Mimin, I started to walk towards the two of them.

“Ugh, the nutrition will be lacking Aa, right, girl is pregnant and has to eat a lot of nutrition and nutrition,” said Bi Mimin as she opened the apron she was wearing.

“Auntie where are you going?” I asked.

” Auntie wants to go to the market first to buy carrots and other food ingredients , the kitchen ingredients are still not complete . Aa accompany Egirl first , auntie go first ” Bi Mimin said goodbye , she immediately stepped foot rushing towards the market .

Liza and I could only stare at Bi Mimin ‘s back which was slowly disappearing from our sight .

” Li , do you want to put the rice into the magic com ? ” I asked when I saw that the rice that had just been washed had not been cooked on the stove at all , nor was it put into a rice cooker that worked automatically .

“Yes, just enter By”

I immediately put the rice into magic com and immediately pressed the on and cook buttons.

“By please take the scallions from the fridge!” Liza ordered, the woman was beating eggs in a bowl, I could guess that she would cook an omelet using spring onions, it’s one of my favorite dishes that the chef in the main house always makes.

I first washed the leeks in the kitchen sink, after that I immediately gave it to my wife.

” You really are smart ” Liza complimented while ruffling my hair with excitement .

Seeing his smile made me sag on the spot , this is the first time I saw him smile again like that after our separation for a while .

Honestly , I feel very happy when I can see him laughing , smiling and having fun . My burden seemed to be released instantly when I could see a smile forming at the corner of his lips, but there was another thing that I was very afraid of, namely sadness, I couldn’t watch his tears fall again because of me, I didn’t want him to feel constrained by the problems I did, I very sure if papah will do something that will hurt him so much and make him fall again in the same pain.
