I trembled when the wedding ring was attached to my ring finger. The sound of loud applause was heard, some of them cheered happily watching my wedding, without them knowing that I was married because I had to. My eyes were glazing at the diamond ring on my finger, and a whispering voice from the man was heard in my ear. "This ring, only a tie for you. Become my slave, "said the spokesperson. I raised my head, glared at the man, who is now legally my husband.
"I should have disapproved of this marriage," I replied, feeling insulted by the look in my husband's eyes. I have only known a man named Raka Albert for one month, a man who is for some reason I like him even though I only hear his breath. He grabbed my arm roughly. "You see your parents? They smiled happily to see me marrying you, without them knowing that you will only be my shadow wife," said Raka firmly.
Unconsciously I turned towards my parents, my Mom's eyes fixed on me with threatening language. This marriage is just a subtle way for Mom to kick me out of the house. My Mom's sharp gaze seemed to say, do what I want, or you will die in my hands. My Mom played a huge role in this forced marriage. I lowered my head in fear, feeling intimidated even though I only glanced at my Mom's almond-sliced eyes.
The wedding party passed.
I sat there, lazy. I still wear the wedding party dress intact. I haven't removed the make-up on my face even though the night is getting late. My eyes stare at the scenery outside the window. The view of London city at night looks beautiful. The light from the city view is like a star on the mainland "huh, I ended up here, and my poor life doesn't seem like it will end," I sighed sadly.
BRAKKKKKKK,,,,,
Suddenly the sound of the bedroom door slamming broke my daydream. I immediately stood there, shocked to see Raka kissing a woman. The woman looks eager to return Raka's kiss. I felt like I fell from a very tall building. "Raka," I shouted angrily. How can my husband kiss another woman before my eyes on our wedding night? The woman wore a fairly tight red dress with the back of her back exposed.
No matter how I shouted, Raka and that woman were even more immersed in their kiss. Raka even pushed the woman until she fell onto the mattress. The woman stroked Raka's head and gave aggressive movements, and enjoyed the passion they felt. "Stop, you bitches" I shouted even louder. I took the flower vase that was on the table and slammed the vase on the floor.
Suddenly Raka stopped and turned to look at me. My body was shaking with excessive anger. My eyes were teary-eyed at Raka. "Oh honey, I didn't know she was here. You make me complacent too much," said the woman, fixing her dress and wiping her messy lipstick stain. The woman smiled arrogantly at me and walked away.
Raka slowly approached me, staring at me closely. That night I felt entitled to protest. I feel allowed to be angry because Raka is my husband. I thought Raka would apologize when he saw the tears running down my cheeks. All I need is an apology from the mouth of my husband. But what I received was beyond my expectations.
Raka grabbed my arm and pushed my body hard enough that I screamed in pain. I feel my body numb receiving treatment from Raka "who are you? What is your right to bother me? Who are you to yell at me and make a mess, huh?" snapped Raka. I still couldn't believe Raka's response that I received. My body which was still shaking violently, acquiring all these shocks, made me just silent.
Not satisfied with one push, Raka grabbed my arm again and pushed my body back roughly until I fell to the floor. "Damn, woman, just because I married you in front of everyone. Then you act as if you are my real wife ?. Amara looks like I have to make you wake up from your dream," snapped Raka.
Raka came out of the room just like that. There are no sad eyes from Raka for me. I was helpless and resignedly accepted all this. "Arghhhhh," I shouted frustratedly, buried in my tears. I cry over my imperfect life. I thought getting out of that house would make me happy. I even fell in love when I saw Raka's smile.
But what I received was no lighter than my past suffering. is my life just a joke?
*********
I woke up immediately when they poured water on my face. My breath shortness sees the circumstances around Raka, two servants and Raka's assistant whom I know named Jonathan stood in front of me. I spent a long night with tears in my eyes, falling asleep tired on the floor. "This kind of woman I marry doesn't value time at all. Are you late to wake up? Is this the habit in your house?" snapped Raka angrily.
I immediately stood up and lowered my head wistfully. "I'm sorry," I said. Raka chuckled, annoyed, and asked the maid to clean the floor of the room. He just walked away after dousing me with a bucket of water. "I'm sorry, My Lady, please come this way to clean yourself," said a maid. With sad steps, I followed the servant.
I chose to sit on the balcony of the living room. The glass is wide enough to show the city view in the daytime. "I didn't expect I will see a city view, from the most luxurious building in this city. do I deserve to be here? "I complained. I remembered that time again—the time when Mom forced me to get married.
Flashback On. At Amara's house
"Does this make sense? Why did Amara get married suddenly like this? Mom? Are you sure of your decision? "Deliana protested. she is my younger sister, but of course, the fact that Deliana is not my biological sister is known only to my mom, dad, and me. Peter chuckled irritably. He was also my brother, but not my real brother either. Deliana and Peter, I can say as my step sister and brother Why?
At 11 years old, I accepted a truth that was hard to swallow. Until now, when I was 24 years old, I could never forget that incident, how my mom screamed after whipping me so hard. The only little mistake I made was breaking my mom's favorite plate, and I received punishment for the whole day.
My mom said that I was the child of an affair with a woman's dad. I learned this truth when I was 11 years old. The woman ran away and left me and made Dad take care of me. My father is respected as the third most prosperous businessman in this city. My mom loves money and her pride. Of course, she is forced to take care of me even though I have to endure my mother's torment every day.
Pain and I are like friends. I can't do whatever I want, and I can't even go to college like other girls. I was locked up in the house, playing with my violin and piano all the time in the room.
My mother fiercely opposed it, and it left me feeling only from school to high school. The rumors circulated fast. They say I'm a crazy woman who screams for no reason. But they don't know what happened to my eyes, don't know what I saw. They don't know what terrible things I saw with my eyes.
I was forced into marriage to a man I had only known for a month. The man from the wealthiest family was ranked first in this city. In the end, it's just Mom's way of kicking me out of the house, dumping me only to meet new suffering even though mom is hiding behind the words 'for my good.'
Flashback off, Living room balcony
"My Lady, I'm coming," said someone who made me wake up from my reverie. A woman with short neck-length hair, when she smiles, her lips curl into acute. "Are you Jane ?. You're the personal assistant that Raka told me? "I asked carefully. Jane nodded her head firmly "yeah. I will take care of you from now on, "she replied.
I exhaled heavily. I never had bodyguards before. Only Deliana and Peter have personal assistants because Deliana is in college and Peter works as CEO in his office. While me ?. I was locked up at home. That's why I don't feel like I have bodyguards.
In this city, having a bodyguard proves your dignity. Not just anyone who can have bodyguards. "How old are you?" I asked. Jane smiled "25 years, My Lady", she said. I was shocked to hear that the age is only one year different from mine. "You are older than me. Have you been working for Raka for a long time? "I asked.
"I've only been working here for two years. And I am happy to be your personal assistant. You have the right to rule me. "Said Jane. The atmosphere was awkward for me. I nodded my head "alright. However, rather than bodyguards, it would be better to bond between us like friends. I've never had friends before." I let out a long sigh. My eyes turned back to the scenery outside the window. The first snow began to fall. It looked beautiful in the sky.
Without being noticed, the sun has been replaced by the moon. I don't do much today. Raka sent a message to me and insisted that I stay in my room. "I'm so bored," I complained.
"Do you want something? I'll bring it for you, "Jane asked me. I thought for a moment and suddenly wanted to eat chocolate-flavored ice cream with a sprinkling of almonds. Jane complied with my request and walked away. I took the laptop and turned it on. Search for my favorite movie site and start selecting the movies I want to watch.
Again I was shocked by the sound of the door to the room that slammed "where is that bitch? You look like a damn bitch" said a woman and immediately slapped me, grabbed my hair, and beat me again without being able to avoid "who are you" I shouted in despair receiving the pain of the slap.
"I do not accept this marriage. I should be your wife, why is that damn woman in your apartment huh ?. Raka, don't you realize I'm the only woman who always stays in your apartment," snapped the woman emotionally.I sat in the chair near the window and lowered my head, luckily Jane came and helped me escape the woman's slap. I stole a glance at the woman who was now sitting on the sofa with Raka. "I seem to know that woman," I thought. but I didn't dare to look at her for too long."Come on Amber, you're making a fuss here. do you want your career as an artist to be destroyed?" said Raka calmly, as if Raka was used to facing such a temperamental woman. I'm stunned." Is she Amber Wilson? The artist who is on the rise because of that horror film? why did she change her hair color? "I thought to myself. I only know a little who Amber is. Last I saw, she had long black hair. Now she cuts her hair, curly and blonde."I do not care about my career, I am your lover, ju
"Have you finished dress up My Lady?" Jane asked over to me after she put all my stuff into the car. I looked closely at my reflection in front of the mirror. Suddenly Raka wanted to take me to his home. More precisely, Raka brought me into his tower house. I don't know what Raka thought.Everyone in the city knows that Raka's extended family occupies every single floor of Raka's house. they say, the competition is so fierce among the Raka family, they somehow live their life." Huh, Jane. You can just call me my name. Amara my name. That's more than enough, don't be so formal," I asked Jane. I'm not comfortable with being called My Lady because I want to have a friendly relationship with Jane."Okay, when it's ready, Mr. Raka told you to go to the car," said Jane. I nodded, and with one deep sigh, I stepped my feet. Even though I want to argue, I'm not that important to Raka until he wants to grant my request. If possible, I don't want to go to that tower. There was no
Feelings of annoyance, confusion, tension all mixed into one in my heart. The first day I entered Raka's house, I met a terrible thing like this. Inside the box was a dead white bird, covered with blood and placed in the refrigerator. When all of Raka's extended family gathered in the lounge, I knew that this bird was Mrs Mira's favourite bird."Until when will everything be like this? Isn't it enough terror that happened so far? "Mr Jacob protested sternly. I watched one by one Raka's big family. Their faces were like they were tired of this kind of thing.Mrs Linda sat while on her husband's lap, grandmother sat quietly. Mulan and Patricia acted ignorant, while Raka stood in front of the window staring at the scenery outside. "How could that person have the heart to kill my Boly, look at my beloved bird is dead," said Mrs Mira sadly. She had been crying, sobbing all this time."Who cleaned my room today?" asked Raka in his baritone voice. Jane left, and soon s
I walked back and forth in my room. Sometimes I sat, sometimes I stood up, I was restless waiting for Raka to come home. "Calm down. It's not that bad, right?" Jane asked me. I sighed heavily. "Jane? This is so bad. What are these notes for? why doesn't Raka just talk to me" I protested? I took the note and rocked it in the air in annoyance."Sorry, if I could know what Mr Raka asked of you?" Jane was still talking carefully to me. It made her look stiff. Even though she was a woman who I thought would be very feminist if she dressed up"Okay, listen to this" I looked back at the note "as a wife of the honorable Mr Raka, I must obey all of Raka's orders, do what Raka wants, don't interfere in Raka's personal affairs, prepare everything that Raka needs, play happily in front of Raka's family, Raka's friends or anyone out there, and most importantly Raka won't touch my body, no love, no sex. "I tossed the note across the table, still annoyed even though I had read it ove
It feels like my body is still frozen, even though I was out of the swimming pool two hours ago. Raka asked Jane to get me out of the swimming pool after my body was almost half frozen. I covered myself with a blanket that was thick enough. Jane also brought me warm drinks. "At this damn thing, what's the difference between me here and at home. In here Raka who punished me, at house Mom who punished me. My life may be just for this,"I grumbled, sipping little by little of my warm drink. I circle the room with my eyes, a spacious room with all these luxuries but quiet. Only my status is married, not in the true sense. Where did Raka go? He never told me what he was doing. Maybe even tonight, I will sleep alone. "It's been a long time since I saw them. Could this be the effect of bird carcasses that I found in the fridge at that time, they usually appear suddenly, "I said to myself. I was in shock when my cell phone rang. "Oh Shiit, I'm starting again. Come on Amara, t
This is the first time for me to have breakfast with Raka's family. Before, I was always late to go downstairs, and when I got downstairs, some of the Raka family were already doing their activities. I sat side by side with Raka at the dining table. Who knows what Raka's heart was made of? He was indifferent to what happened that night. Alright, this is a long dining table. Raka's extended family sits at one table. In the main seat was Grandma, beside her is Raka parents, then Mr Jacob and Mrs Mira with their two children Mulan and Patricia, and there is another woman I saw face today. I've never met that woman before. "Look at her, see the illegitimate child with her disgusting eyes," said Mulan looking at me. I can be sure the words were aimed at me. My hands shook, holding a tablespoon, and I was surprised to feel ashamed of being caught staring at the woman sitting beside Raka. "I told you, to maintain etiquette when we are at the dinner table, right?" sa
My whole body was wet with water; the clothes I wore stuck to my body because it was wet, and it was enough to print my body to reveal my curves. Raka's eyes looked at my chest, it made me uncomfortable, and I quickly crossed my arms to cover my chest. Raka smiled a line. "You think I'll be tempted by your ugly body !. Every time you do something wrong, you deserve to be punished!" said Raka. I wrinkled my forehead. "What am I doing ?. Is this all about Amber? "I asked for certain. Raka chuckled, annoyed. "For me to breathe, you're already annoying, no need to ask me that far. I know my business, and I don't like to be bothered with trivial matters. If you can't protect yourself from just one slap, then don't you dare provoke other people's emotions." Said Raka as he left. My legs shook away from the shower; I took a towel and wiped the water on my face; my body was shivering, suddenly my body felt bad. I replaced the shower with warm water and chose to take a short

Rose sedang memulihkan diri di rumah karena patah tulang ringan. Itu hanya seminggu setelah masa-masa indah, karena Sean terstimulasi oleh hasil akhir ujian tengah semesternya dan mengantarnya ke sekolah. Satu-satunya keuntungan adalah dia memiliki sopir untuk menjemput dan mengantarnya selama cedera. Rose belum beradaptasi dengan kehidupan awal. Dia tidur grogi untuk dua kelas. Dalam keadaan linglung, dia samar-samar merasakan seseorang di depan matanya. Ketika dia membuka matanya, ruang kelas kosong. Hanya Matthew dari Kelas 5 yang berdiri di depannya dan menatapnya dengan cemberut. Rose ingat bahwa Matthew dan Andrew menekannya seperti bukit hari itu, hampir sekarat, dan merasakan lengannya sakit lagi. Dia mendongak dan saling menatap miring. "Mengapa kamu di sini?" Matthew memandang rendah Rose, yang cuek dan frustrasi. Senang melihatnya tanpa jalan memutar, tetapi tidak mungkin. Siapa yang membiarkan dirinya memuk
