Forced Marriage

Lisa POV

Tired, sick. That’s how I feel right now. My whole body felt very tormented, especially in my stomach and possessions. I really wanted to scream to relieve the pain a little, but I gave up my intention. Right beside me was Joan who was lying down hugging me from behind. I ignored it, choosing to sleep sideways and in the opposite direction to him. Not because I was angry, but I didn’t want him to see me in pain.

“bro, please don’t hug me!” I said softly. My hands were busy releasing Joan’s fingers that were coiled around my stomach.

“No,” he argued. It really sucks . My stomach hurt even more from being hugged tightly by him.

I could only take a deep breath, then let it out slowly. I did that many times. At least my situation will improve a little if I do this.

“Li, I’m sorry. I was really emotional,” he begged in a spoiled tone.

I remained silent, I was very reluctant to reply to his words. My heart was too hurt when I received insults from the people who were in the cafe earlier.

“Honey, please forgive me. God is the most forgiving. How come you can’t forgive me. I know I was wrong today. So please, just this once honey!”

I chuckled annoyed , when he shook my body . The more tormented this body , I really want to punch his face roughly . If only he wasn’t my husband, I’ve done that from the beginning of our meeting.

“WHAT THE HELL SICK? I’M TIRED THAT I WANT TO SLEEP. CAN’T I HAVE A DAY WILL NOT MAKE A THING? ” I snapped. I woke my body up to get out of bed.

Before my feet could touch the floor, the man who was lying beside me swiftly pulled me back so that I fell on top of him.

deg . My heart felt like it was racing fast. Her bright eyes with large eyelids caught my attention. I didn’t blink for a few seconds, I don’t know what expression I’m showing right now. It must be really embarrassing. I thought.

cup .

I was shocked. When something soft pressed against my lips. Ah, it’s been a long time since I felt that touch. After our children were grown, we couldn’t freely act romantically, let alone to engage in husband and wife relations in general.

“How are you still mad honey?” he asked with a probing face. A slight smile looks like he’s mocking me.

“Nope,” I said, I quickly straightened my body and moved away from him a few cm.

bro Joan immediately sat on the edge of the bed, while I preferred to sit my body on the makeup chair to just apply skincare.

“Think again! I don’t want to part with you. If you are disgusted by me, at least think about Kiran and Keenan. They are already big, but think about their feelings. Are you that brave, huh?”

I was silent, while continuing to apply night cream on my cheeks.

bro Joan looks annoyed , I can see it in the reflection of the mirror .

“Li, please! Don’t act like this! You are already a mother, no longer Liza who I have to persuade like 17 years ago. Do I have to do the same thing as I did when I asked you to protect the fetus in your womb like before, huh?” ?”

I saw from the reflection of the mirror, bro Joan approached me. Her eyes were red and glassy with tears.

Deg. My heart raced again when he hugged me from behind. His body was shaking violently, his cries just broke, he buried his face in my back which made my clothes feel a little wet.

“Enough bro! Don’t act like this. I can’t bear to see you this broken,” I turned my body and immediately hugged him.

He dissolved in my arms, for a few minutes we remained in that position. It was raining heavily outside, very hand in hand bringing warmth to our bodies who were hugging each other.

For a few minutes we hugged, I could breathe a sigh of relief when my husband began to look calm.

I immediately let go of our embrace, he looked at me with a surprised look. I don’t know what he was thinking. Seeing his swollen face made me feel very guilty.

“Sleep now bro, tomorrow I want to play golf early in the morning.”

bro Joan nodded in the affirmative, and we went back to lying down on the king bed. At that moment we were already headed to the realm of dreams respectively .

Knock… kno…

I opened my eyes lazily , I saw that bro Joan was still lying beside me . We stared at each other , she looked disturbed by Kiran ‘s loud scream who knocked on our bedroom door very loudly .

“What time is Li?” asked bro Joan while continuing to rub her eyes. She had started to put her feet on the floor.

I looked at the clock on the wall “Half past six, do you want to take a shower first or should I go first?”

bro Joan seemed to think for a moment, for a moment she smiled showing a row of neat teeth.

“Come on, let’s take a bath together honey, let’s hurry up. We have to leave at six o’clock, not to mention breakfast, it takes a lot of time. We’re going to play golf in the heat,” his chattering made me a little angry.

I just stared at him cynically, I really know what the purpose of doing that. I know very well his attitude that always wants to have sex with me, even though I strongly refuse he will still force me.

Joan hasn’t changed 17 years ago, he’s still a rough man in bed. He did the same thing when he raped me in the apartment at that time, until I became pregnant with my twins.

“Yes, you go first, I want to find Kiran first.”

bro Joan snorted in annoyance , with unenthusiastic steps she resumed walking into the bathroom .

I met Kiran outside, my daughter’s face looked very happy today. She was ready with her golf suit, that shirt was a present given by her father on Kiran’s 16th birthday.

“Where are you going this morning, it’s already so beautiful, Ki?”

“You want to play golf mom, uh yeah Daddy are you awake yet?”

Kiran peeked into my room a little, her smile seemed to widen when she found that her father was no longer lying down but had cleaned himself in the bathroom.

“Wait honey, Daddy won’t take long to take a bath.”

“Have you prayed Ki?”

“That’s it mom, Kiran woke up at dawn and immediately started praying,” she replied bringing relief to my mind.

Thankfully, my children are still diligent in carrying out their worship even though they grow up in a free country and the majority of people are Christians.

I rubbed the top of my daughter’s head. I never thought I could be a mother of three children at once, raise them, love children that I never expected to exist before.

I am really grateful to have bro Joan by my side, this man really loves children, he always does his best for us and he never once complained when he helped me take care of the children.

Oh Lord. Can you give me a long life so I can love Kak Joan even longer? Let me be the only woman that Kak Joan loves. I have never really felt that everything I’ve done for the last 17 years in my household was just an act. Everything I said at the cafe was just a lie, it was just my ploy so that bro Joan could hate me. I just want to go without having to make a wound in his heart, I’m sure he will be tormented if one day I return to Rahmatullah.

You are all-knowing, O Lord.

“Loh mom why are you crying anyway?”

Kiran noticed me suddenly crying for no reason . This time I really could not hold back the pain in my heart. I sobbed for no reason , Kiran also looked worried about my attitude this time .

My daughter’s tall body, which is the same height as me, swiftly embraced me in her arms, she began to calm me down.

“Mom, are you okay?”

“Yes, I’m okay.”

I wipe my tears. As much as possible I keep smiling reassuring my daughter. I don’t want to make her hurt, it’s enough that I hurt them once, there’s no second time.

“It’s okay honey hugs, Mommy wants to take a shower first. It’ll be too late to play golf,” I let go of our hug, I left my daughter who was still standing in amazement at the door.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

I just barged into the bathroom, ignoring my husband who was still doing his morning shower ritual.

“Loh, earlier he said he didn’t want to take a bath together, Li?”

I was stunned for a moment, that’s my habit when I see my husband’s naked body which looks very sexy and tempting. Six pack stomach, broad chest and broad shoulders have succeeded in making me lose my mind.

” Why ? Do you want ? ” he asked .

I shook my head strongly , my face must have looked blushing at this time . If only we had no plans this morning , I can assure you , this morning would be a hot and passionate morning for both of us .

Arrrgggghhh!

bro Joan looked at me with disappointment. I was reluctant to look at her and preferred to start my morning shower wisely.

Bruh… Brack….

The sound in the bathroom sounded noisy, because bro Joan dropped things like soap and shampoo on purpose. The atmosphere in my shower really felt like a chorus, starting from the splashing of water, the sound of toiletries falling, to the sound of her loud stomping feet.

I can only say istighfar in my heart. I’m used to his attitude that will be that angry if not given a ration.

To be continued…

Next or not bro?
