Forced Marriage

JOAN POV

I laid Liza’s body slowly on the bed. After our dinner, Liza asked me to accompany her to watch her favorite drama. We watched the drama together in the living room but I didn’t think that the woman would actually fall asleep on the sofa.

I covered Liza ‘s body to cover my shoulders , I looked at my wife ‘s face , guilt resurfaced at me at the same time , I really can’t imagine how devastated I would be in the end if Liza really asked for a divorce .

If you only look at it from Liza’s point of view, surely everyone will say that I am the cruelest, even though I’ve tried to be the best. But it seems that in Liza’s eyes I’m just a jerk who only makes him a woman who serves and gives me children. Maybe Liza thinks that I have never given enough love and attention like a man in general, who is always faithful to accompany his wife.

Every day I also want to go home faster so I can accompany him, but whatever my responsibility in the company is really very heavy, I have to handle all the hundreds of files every day. I even bring some unfinished files home because if everything is finished at the office then I can’t go home at all.

A month ago, after the third day of our marriage, I asked Papa’s permission to temporarily leave my duties. I was planning to go on a honeymoon with Liza for a few weeks, but Papa refused to even throw a trophy at my head, my forehead hurt because of what happened that day. .

Papah is a temperamental person , if he is angry , he is not half – hearted , he may be killed on the spot right away .

Flashback on

I started to enter papa’s work room accompanied by mama who followed behind me. Before entering this room, I first asked permission from Mamah and luckily Mamah was understanding, giving me permission to go on my honeymoon abroad for a few weeks.

Mamah started to sit next to papah who had been focusing on reading a book.

” Honey , Joan wants to talk to you about something ” Mamah said to wake up papah who was not aware of my arrival .

Papa began to stop his activities and turned to look at me who was still standing in front of the door. To be honest, I didn’t dare ask Papa for permission because he would be very angry if I let go of my responsibility for the company. There was an incident that I can never forget when I was just joining to take care of the company, at that time I left the office to meet a friend I had not seen for a long time, without papah’s approval. As a result papa was very angry with me and beat me out.

Since that day I have always obeyed Papa’s words, I was also used to his temperamental attitude, but behind his cruel attitude, Papa just wanted to encourage me to be the best, successful and blameless man.

” What ‘s the matter Joan , why did you come here ? ” Papa said interrupting my thoughts .

“Ummm, that’s it” I said stuttering.

” I want to leave the company for about a month , ” I said boldly .

Papah started to stand up from his seat, he began to approach me with his intense gaze.

“Where are you going huh, to leave the company’s responsibilities for that long?”

“I want to take Liza for a honeymoon abroad, Daddy, don’t worry Sis Sarah is ready to change my position for a while” I said while wiping the cold sweat that wet my neck.

practice…

Papa took one of the trophies stored on his desk, without warning he immediately threw the trophy to my face.

I held my forehead which felt a little torn, little by little blood began to come out of the wound. I winced holding back the pain I’m used to, this isn’t the first time I’ve been treated so cruelly by the person I call papah.

“Dear, calm yourself down!” Mamah screamed hysterically seeing papah’s behavior ”

” How many times has papa forbade you , never leave your responsibility to take care of the company , whatever the reason papa will never allow you ” Papah snapped as he chuckled .

“But dad, I just want to comfort Liza, you know that my wife’s condition isn’t okay right now. She has to see something beautiful to forget the things that made her very depressed, especially since I was the main cause of her going through all the terrible things. It’s not fair to him. I beg you, please let me just this once, I just want to be a good husband to Liza, Dad.” I said as I raised my hands, pleading.

Papa shook his head slowly ” No I will not , I do not like you using a woman as an alibi ! ” Papa said with full emphasis .

” Please papa , Sarah has agreed to take over the company for a while ” I said trying to persuade papa .

Papa did not heed my words, began to turn his back to me, the middle-aged man walked back to the sofa where he was sitting earlier.

” KEEP BEING PROFESSIONAL , THAT ‘S THE THING THAT CAN ENCOURAGE YOU TO BECOME A GOOD HUSBAND ” Her scream echoed throughout the room .

I was silent , papah ‘s words really made me out of my mind to persuade the middle – aged man . I immediately went home with a very disappointed state , my life would be threatened if it continued to be in a place full of restraints .

Arriving at home, Liza threw a lot of questions after seeing me come home injured.

“What’s wrong with your forehead, honey?” Liza asked with a very worried face. The woman ignored her eating activity which was stopped because of my arrival.

” Fighting with Dafa ” I answered a lie , I do not want Liza to know that this wound is a wound I got in order to try to make her happy .

“What’s the problem? How come you have a fight with sis Dafa?”

“There’s no problem, Dafa just wants to reduce my good looks by one level, hehehe” I said with a small chuckle to make him believe.

” You guys are really ridiculous ” Liza was still wearing a sullen expression , the woman who was 10 years younger than me immediately asked me to come with her to the room , to treat the wound on my forehead .

I feel so loved, when Liza treats me like that.

Flashback off

I also lay down beside Liza , I slept sideways looking at the woman . I stared intently at her beautiful face , pointed nose , beautiful curved eyebrows , thin pink lips coupled with a V – shaped face , the face of the woman who was sleeping beside me was really very perfect .

As soon as I thought back to our fight earlier , actually I did not want to discuss the matter with him about Dilan , let alone to yell and hurt his heart , but whatever the power of my jealousy really can not be controlled anymore .

When Liza called me while she was at the mall this afternoon, I was really angry because I saw that my wife’s GPS location was previously in Dilan’s apartment.

Unbeknownst to Liza , I have installed a GPS program on her wedding ring , so I can find out where she goes as long as she still wears the ring on her ring finger .
