Forced Marriage

POV 3

Joan had just come out of the bathroom wearing her night blue kimono, the man was surprised to see his wife who had been pacing back and forth while staring at the large window that connected directly to the beach.

” Why are you darling , are you not tired from pacing all the time ? ” Joan was amazed because he had seen her wife ‘s strange movements before she entered the bathroom , even after she came out her behavior was still the same .

” My stomach is not feeling well , maybe I am full , that ‘s why I have been walking all the time so the food can go down quickly ” explained Liza , which immediately made Joan panic .

” Do you need to go to the hospital dear ? ” Joan started to approach Liza while drying her wet hair with a small towel .

” You don’t need to by , it’s not because of our baby , it’s because I ate too much earlier because Aunt Mimin’s cooking is so good that I can’t stop adding it ” Liza grinned to herself when she remembered her greedy attitude at dinner last night .

“That’s why it’s a shame if you eat, don’t eat too much and don’t eat too little either, just enough, you have to remember that in your stomach you have my two heroes.” Joan stroked his wife’s belly lovingly.

” So you only care about our twins , what if you say not ? ” Liza pursed her lips , she was annoyed that Joan only cared about her babies , not her .

Joan pinched Liza’s cheek fondly

“It’s not like that honey, I care about the three of you, right if your fetus is something you’re sure to be tormented too”

Liza nodded slightly , it makes sense what her husband said .

“By I’m going to take a shower but I didn’t bring a change of clothes, I’ll borrow your clothes okay?” Liza asked, because she didn’t bring even a single shirt and neither did Joan, but Joan had lots of clothes that she had prepared long ago if she wanted to stay at this house .

Joan shook her head “No honey, my clothes are too big for you. Wait a minute here I will bring you women’s clothes from the next room”

Joan immediately stepped out of the room leaving Liza who just froze in place.

Liza was busy thinking about why there are women’s clothes in this house, it’s impossible for Joan to wear clothes for the opposite sex. Then who is the woman who owns the clothes? Is his girlfriend Joan?

“Here baby”

Liza broke her reverie when the owner of a voice that was familiar to her returned to the room carrying a dress.

“Thanks” Liza said as the clothes were already in her hands.

Liza stared at the dress in utter astonishment , Joan could see a curiosity rising in his wife ‘s mind .

” Those are Yuna ‘s clothes ” Joan said honestly so that Liza would not think too much of her .

Liza raised one beautiful eyebrow “Has sis Yuna ever come here?”

Joan nodded again “Yes, Yuna is the only person who knows about the existence of this house. I once ran away from home because of a problem, I made this house an escape but I didn’t think Yuna could find out where I was hiding here” Joan exhaled in exasperation when remembering past events that she didn’t want to remember at all.

” Oooh ” Liza responded coldly , an aura of jealousy started to appear in her .

“Don’t worry, Yuna and I are just friends, we are good friends from childhood until now so it’s impossible for something to happen between us” Joan stared at his wife’s face very closely, he wanted Liza to believe him, because he was locked in something. the relationship is mutual trust.

Liza smiled slightly and her sullen face started to disappear from Joan’s sight.

“I’m going to change my clothes first, okay bye, but after this, let’s go out, I want to know the atmosphere around here”

“Yes dear Liza”

Liza immediately stepped into the bathroom to change her clothes, she was not allowed by Joan to take a bath at night.

Joan started changing her clothes in the bedroom while waiting for his wife to change clothes in the bathroom.

Joan wore a striped blue and white shirt which she paired with faded blue jeans. Not forgetting that he also put a blue jacket on his back . He intends to give it to Liza later , but he doesn’t want to openly give it now because Liza will definitely reject it .

” Let’s go now ” Liza , who had just come out of the bathroom , immediately pulled Joan out of the house .

The two of them started walking on the beach, the atmosphere on the beach was still very busy at this time, many tourists were staying in villas around this beach. There were also young people who camped here, they started singing very happily while lighting a bonfire to warm them up. their bodies are getting cold.

” It ‘s really nice if we are like this every day , if the main house is really bored by ” Liza took a deep breath to breathe fresh air . She started to sit on the beach sand while enjoying the view of the tidal beach waves .

Like it or not, Joan also had to sit down in the sand, even though she had just cleaned herself up, her clothes would definitely get dirty after this.

” It’s a shame to wear this jacket , your dress is too open , you will catch a cold again soon ” Joan put his jacket on Liza , he wanted to make sure that his wife would still feel warm even though she had been feeling cold all along .

” You just put it on , I ‘m not cold anyway ” Liza refused to wear the jacket .

Joan still chuckled, he still forcibly put the jacket on his wife’s body.

The bright white skinned man immediately lay down and made Liza’s thigh as a pillow for his head. He was immediately able to freely look at his wife’s beautiful face from the bottom. Liza was not bothered by her husband ‘s spoiled attitude , since the woman continues to enjoy the view of the beach decorated with stars in the sky .

” Why don’t you look at the stars , look at your husband too , please ” Joan grumbled , which immediately made his wife look at him .

Liza rubbed the top of her husband’s head fondly, the man who was sleeping on her lap looked very enchanting at the moment, Liza’s face started to blush when her beady eyes met Joan’s falcon eyes.

” Li , I love you ” Joan whispered softly as she closed her eyes because she could not look at her bead for too long .

Liza remained silent, she didn’t know what to answer, she was very afraid if she said something that didn’t match her true feelings. remembering that his beautiful future was unceremoniously destroyed by Joan’s lust.

“Li, can I ask a question or not?” Joan opened her eyes again, daring herself to question the thing that had been haunting her mind for so long.

“Yes, what do you want?” Liza narrowed her eyes.

Joan woke up her body first and aligned her body with Liza’s sitting position.

He immediately grabbed Liza’s hand which was smaller than his.

“How do you feel about me?”

Sigh….

Liza was like being struck by lightning, why did Joan have to ask something she couldn’t answer at all.

” How ? ” Joan asked back in a low voice because Liza did not want to speak up yet .

Liza shook her head as she raised her head to look at Joan

” I also do not know what feelings I have for you ” Liza said very honestly .

Joan let go of Liza’s hand that was tightly held by him earlier, disappointed? Of course, who wouldn’t be disappointed if his sincere feelings had only been considered a passing wind that didn’t make any impression.

” I’m sorry , I can not say I love you ” Said Liza with bad feelings .

Joan only smiled in response to his wife’s words. “Okay, I’ll wait for you until you really love me, but I beg you, never ever leave my life!”

Liza nodded , the woman gasped in surprise when suddenly Joan kissed her lips briefly .

” I love you very much Liza , only you , no other women ” Joan said with full seriousness , Liza felt relieved after hearing her husband ‘s story , at least Joan had no intention of leaving her and turning to another woman .

The two of them hugged each other in the middle of a crowd of people enjoying a bonfire party. Joan borrowed a guitar from a young man who was engrossed in burning corn on a bonfire.

“Bro, can I borrow the guitar?” Joan asked a young man who was playing his guitar but didn’t play it because he had to roast the corn first.

” Yes you can , please ! The older brother volunteered to borrow the guitar to Joan .

Joan was very happy, she immediately approached Liza who was sitting behind her.

” Where did you get the guitar by ? ” Liza was surprised whose guitar her husband brought .

“I borrowed it from my brother over there.” Joan pointed towards the brothers who were in the crowd of people.

” Oh ” replied Liza .

“What song do you want to sing?” Joan asked when she was sitting in front of Liza.

“It’s up to you bye”

Joan immediately strummed her guitar skillfully , the tone of the guitar was in harmony with the song she was bringing , a song called Hate Utopia .

Should I love him

If you only give grief?

It seems I’m happy

On the one hand, I cry

I’ve been so precious

All eyes adore me

Until you came in my life

Everything change

You took my heart

Make it gray

You destroy all dreams

It’s been stored ever since

You poison my love

To hate

I’m not tired of being faithful

Tortured alone

Go, go, go, go

How I want to run (run)

And apart from you

But the more I try

I want to go back

You took my heart

Make it gray

You destroy all dreams

It’s been stored ever since

You poison my love

To hate

I’m not tired of being faithful

Tortured alone

You took my heart

Make it gray

You destroy all dreams

Hearing the strains of the song made Liza shed tears because the song perfectly matches Liza’s hatred for the person who has destroyed her dream, namely Joan.

Liza didn’t understand why Joan chose to sing that song in front of her. Even though that song could have made Liza feel even more hatred towards her.
