Forced Marriage

LIZA POV

I woke up from my sleep when the sun’s rays began to enter through the window. I looked at the clock that was kept on the nightstand on the left side of my bed.

“Oh my gosh, it’s already 6 o’clock” I said while stretching my muscles.

I was very surprised when I saw that my husband Joan was still fast asleep, even though usually at this time he had to eat breakfast before leaving for the office.

” Honey , wake up ” I gently shook my husband ‘s body .

” By already 6 o’clock you will be late for his office ” I said back when the man did not want to open his eyes .

Cup … cup …. cup

I repeatedly kissed his cheek to wake him up and sure enough he started to open his eyes little by little .

When his eyes were fully opened he immediately smirked indistinctly when he saw the distance of my body which was very close to him .

” Why are you smiling like that ? ” I asked in an annoyed tone .

” It ‘s nice to be kissed by a beautiful person ” he said as he walked to the bathroom .

“Gombal Mulu, hurry up and take a shower!” I said in the same tone.

” Ready my dear wife ” shouted the man who was already in the bathroom .

While waiting for her to do the bathing ritual, I turned to the walk-in closet room to prepare the suit my husband would wear. I always do this every day, even though my heart doesn’t belong to Joan but my body is still his wife, so it’s obligatory for me to serve all his needs as a wife. a wife .

I started to take a night blue coat along with pants of the same color, as usual I always choose a white shirt which is her favorite color if Joan really prefers white shirts, because it’s easier to combine it with any colored coat.

Finished with the three kinds of things , I switched again to find a tie that matched the suit I had chosen just now .

My eyes locked again when I saw a tie of the same color with a white triangle motif. I quickly took the tie to shorten the time .

I immediately gave the suit to my husband who was still in the bathroom, as usual I always told him to change clothes in the bathroom, because I’m not used to seeing it without wearing a single cloth.

” Just wear the tie outside , I ‘m wearing it ” I shouted as I sat down on one of the sofas .

” Isn’t it all Li ‘s clothes are also wearing ? ” He shouted from inside trying to irritate me .

” Do not expect ” I replied in a teasing tone .

I again remained silent , either because I was tired of screaming incoherently to serve him or because I was not in a good mood today .

I just focused on stroking my stomach which was starting to feel a little full , I never imagined that I would end up being a mother , when my career was at its peak .

” Honey , what time is it now ? ” Joan asked who had just come out of the bathroom .

“Half-seven” I answered flatly after looking at the clock in his cellphone which was lying in the corner of the sofa.

I gave the cell phone with the apple logo to him , the man always keeps his cell phone carelessly because he often fiddles with computers or laptops rather than playing with cellphones .

” Here I put it ” I immediately took the tie that had been held by him .

I deftly matched the tie very neatly, I used to always do that to Dilan when he had a performance event that made him have to wear a suit.

” Already by ” I said after making sure the tie was neatly attached .

“Thanks honey” he said as he kissed my cheek.

“Sorry dear, this morning I can’t have breakfast at home, because at 7 I have a meeting with an important client so the schedule can’t be postponed” Joan said quietly, the man started to take his briefcase and check all the equipment including the files that must be provided for the day this .

” Huft … even though aunty already cooked your favorite food ” I let out an exasperated breath , very disappointed with my husband ‘s answer .

Joan stroked the top of my hair “Yeah, sorry honey”

“Why did you wake up so late last night, did you stay up late again?”

“Yes, Li, I have a file that I haven’t signed, so it’s 2 o’clock sleep,” said the man with a smile that continued to expand on his face.

“Well, if you don’t want breakfast, drink milk first so you can get nutrition!” I started to pull Joan’s body into the dining room, when she got to the dining room, I gave her a glass of milk that had been made by one of the household members in that luxurious house.

Joan immediately gulped down the milk until there was nothing left.

” Until the office you do not have breakfast again , right ? ” I asked with a worried tone .

” No dear , my schedule is very busy today , at least there will be time to eat later in the afternoon . ” The man showed a row of white teeth , as if he was not carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders .

” How about this afternoon we eat together by ? ” I offered .

Joan shook her head in agreement “It’s okay, honey, we haven’t been out together for a long time, I’ll pick you up at home later!” The man started to ruffle my hair with excitement.

“No need, just let me accompany you to the company, you don’t mind right?”.

” No lah , yes , I object to being accompanied by a girl as beautiful as you ” he said , his fingers pinched my cheek again .

” Well I ‘m going now dear , take care of yourself and please do not stress , ” he said while kissing my forehead lovingly .

” Yes by , you are also careful and do not get too tired ” I said as I shook my husband ‘s hand .

” Yes dear ” he answered in a very soft tone , he did not forget to give a kiss on my stomach , greeted the little baby he was waiting for .

“You’re also doing well in there, don’t be naughty, don’t let mommy get sick, daddy wants to go to work first to pay for you and mommy, honey,” The man stroked my stomach very gently.

As soon as he walked away after waving his hand at me , I just stood staring at his back which was slowly disappearing from my sight .Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I went back to my room to just clean myself, after finishing with the morning bath ritual, I returned to the dining room to eat my breakfast voraciously, although lately I often feel nauseous, I still force myself to put food into my mouth, even though in the end I’ll throw up some more.

Becoming a pregnant mother turned out to be more difficult than I imagined, I used to think that pregnancy was just a change in the stomach getting bigger, when in fact a mother will always feel nauseous in the first trimester plus the second and third trimesters whose sacrifices are much heavier than the phase in the first trimester. first trimester.

However, my burden seems to be a little less when I remember Joan’s sweet treatment of me, even though she is annoying sometimes because she is rarely at home. But at least when he’s at home, he always makes me feel a little relieved, the proof is that he never sleeps because he has to massage my waist which hurts a lot due to the dilation caused by the baby.
