Forced Marriage

Today is exactly a month after Dilan left the country for treatment.

For a month Liza could not contact Dilan ‘s mother because her cell phone was confiscated by Joan . The man put his wife under house arrest , even just for a walk to the house yard had to be accompanied by Tia and Ella .

“Arghhhh …..” Liza screamed very loudly while throwing a small stone into the lake behind her house.

” Non , do not stress too much , poor baby will be disturbed ” said Tia to stop the young lady ‘s action .

” That ‘s right , ” Liza agrees with Tia ‘s opinion , now she starts to relax her mind and sits on a chair in front of the lake .

” Are you bored at home ? ” Ella asked who started to sit down beside Liza .

Liza is a person who does not skyrocket, never distinguishes a person’s status including Ella and Tia, Liza considers them as a friend.

“Yes La, I’m bored at home all the time. It feels like there is no life” Liza exhaled angrily.

“Master, you asked Miss to go to the mall for shopping, but she refused, that’s why she couldn’t leave the house,” said Tia, remembering that Joan had freed Liza to leave the house just for shopping, but Liza refused because shopping was only for her. a waste of time , nowadays it is modern , if you want to buy something you can do everything online .

Liza was silent, Tia’s words just now made her come up with a plan that could allow her to get information about Dilan.

” You two accompany me shopping , well , there are some maternity clothes that I want to buy but they are not in the online shop ” said Liza after getting up from her seat .

Liza stepped into the house followed by Ella and Tia who followed behind her.

Liza went into her room to change her clothes , as well as Ella and Tia who entered their respective rooms doing the same activity as Liza .

Less than 15 minutes they were all out of their respective rooms .

” Oh lady , she is really beautiful . ” Ella ‘s eyes lit up at the radiance of Liza ‘s beauty who is currently only wearing casual clothes .

“Thank you, you guys are also beautiful,” Liza complimented back.

” Well let ‘s go now . ” Liza led the way out of the house followed by Ella and Tia . The white Alphard car was parked in front of the house , the three of them got into the car .

” Do you want to go straight to the mall ? ” asked Pak Dito , who was sitting in the driver ‘s seat .

” No sir , let’s stop at the Luxury Apartment first , because my friend wants to take over my work contract in various advertisements ” Alibi Liza , she can’t tell the truth because Dito and Ella and Tia are people under Joan ‘s control .

” Okay non ” Pak Dito started to step on the gas out of the luxurious gate of the house .

During the trip there was no conversation, they were all busy with their own activities, Liza focused on staring at the window seeing every scene that the car passed. Meanwhile, Ella and Tia are busy playing their cellphones for selfies and then posting their photos on their social media.

30 minutes have passed, the white Alphard car is now starting to stop in front of a luxurious apartment.

” You just wait here okay ” Liza said before getting out of the car .

” Is it okay to go in alone ? ” Tia asked to make sure .

Liza shook her head and smiled faintly ” It ‘s okay , my friend is really good ” he said and got out of the car very carefully .

The slender-legged woman began to walk with slightly accelerated steps down each aisle.

Luckily Dilan ‘s apartment is on the first floor , so Liza no longer has to take the elevator and jostle with many people .

Ting…. Ting….

Liza pressed the bell button for Dilan ‘s apartment , the woman kept pressing the bell button because she couldn’t get an answer from inside at all .

Ting…. Ting….

Liza stomped her foot in annoyance, could it be that Dilan is still being treated abroad, but it’s been a month and it hasn’t healed yet, or not…© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Liza shook her head to get rid of all the negative thoughts. His eyes lit up when he saw someone familiar to him appear from behind the door .

As usual Dilan ‘s face looks very masculine , although his hair is a little messy , does not reduce the level of handsomeness he has .

The man formed a smile on his lips , he did not make any sound , just stared at Liza who was the same as silent .

” Are you okay Lan ? ” Liza asked awkwardly , the woman was afraid that Dilan would not want to see her again .

” As you can see , I ‘m fine ” replied Dilan with a relaxed expression .

Liza glanced at Dilan from top to bottom , the man looked fine , healthy and fit .

” Do you want to just stand outside Li , do you not want to come in ? ” asked Dilan who was already furious because the woman had only been standing in front of the door all this time .

” What do you want ? ” Liza went straight into the apartment ahead of Dilan , while Dilan first closed the apartment door and locked it . Dilan was very afraid that the man who was already Liza ‘s husband would just barge in .

” What do you want to drink Li ? ” Dilan started to take a glass in the kitchen which is attached to the living room .

” Just mineral water Lan ” offered Liza .

“Okay” Dilan raised his thumb towards the woman who was sitting on one of the sofas in the living room. The man began to fill the empty glass he took earlier with water from the dispenser.

Dilan immediately returned to Liza with a glass of mineral water.

“Tumben Lo drinks mineral water, usually if it’s not juice, tea or coffee” Dilan protested, the man really knows Liza who really hates drinking mineral water that tastes bland, the woman prefers drinks that have a taste, when she’s bored with sweet drinks , then he will replace it by drinking lemon water without sugar which tastes very sour but refreshing and can detoxify the body.

” Yes and I ‘m pregnant , so I have to drink lots of mineral water and reduce caffeinated drinks ” Liza said sluggishly .

Dilan looked into Liza’s eyes “Is your husband nice to you, Li?”

For a second Liza looked at Joan’s face with an indescribable look, she then turned her gaze to another direction.

“Yes he is really good, he really cares about me” Liza lowered her face, she felt bad for leaving Dilan just like that, her thoughts were only hatred and disappointment that was left in Dilan.

Dilan lifted the woman’s chin, so she focused on her “I just want to know a lot about your life now, I just don’t want you to live a miserable life after marriage”

DEG … DEG ….

Liza’s heart was beating faster than usual, her eyes made contact with Dilan’s eyes, bringing back the feeling that this month seemed to have disappeared from her life, her heart came back to life after being numbed by Joan’s attitude that always wanted to have her regardless of her emptiness.

Liza could not hold back her tears , her tears just flowed down her cheeks . Actually he didn’t want to show his sadness again in front of Dilan but what could he do, his heart already felt very painful if he had to face every situation alone.

Dilan wiped Liza’s tears, the man was very sure that Liza’s new life would not be as smooth as Rivenno’s family business. Previously Dilan was really disappointed with the woman, he thought that Liza and Joan were cheating behind his back, but his estimation was wrong after being told by Zea’s cousin Liza, that Liza and Joan were almost betrothed by her family, but because Liza refused, Joan rebelled and impregnated her. He was relieved that Liza did not give his heart to that man .

Dilan pulled Liza’s body into his arms, occasionally he kissed her forehead.

“Don’t worry I won’t let you suffer Li, I will always be there for you, I love you, Li”

” I ‘m sorry Lan , I left you without saying a word , this must be unfair to you , I am also forced and for the sake of the baby in my womb ” Liza said softly while holding her stomach .

“If on that day you told me that you were pregnant, how could I replace Joan to be responsible for your pregnancy, I am willing to be a father for the child you are carrying”

Liza shook her head slowly ” No, I don’t want you to be responsible for something you didn’t do at all, ENOUGH THAT FUCK MAN IS RESPONSIBLE” Liza said by emphasizing her words at the end of the sentence.

“To this day I have never been willing and not accepted the fact that the woman I love is already in the hands of another man, a month ago I fell into a deep depression because of this problem Li. For a second my mind never escapes all things related to Lo, Memories of the two of us always ring in my mind even though I’m sleeping ” explained Dilan explaining his troubled feelings .

“I’m sorry Lan, I’m really an asshole, mentally disabled, I’m not good for Lo, maybe that’s why God even destined me to marry Joan, not Lo” Liza held her head, feeling dizzy thinking about all the things she had gone through with Dilan , long memories are like embedded in the memory of his brain .

“Okay, I’ll accept your apology as long as it’s on one condition.” Dilan held up his index finger.

Liza’s forehead wrinkled “What conditions Lan?”

“Don’t ever ask me to forget you, because I will still be faithful to wait for you even though my hair is gray and white.” Dilan looked very fragile, his eyes reddened when he said that.

Dor … Liza ‘s heart felt like it was shot by a bullet , is that man stupid , why love a woman who already belongs to someone else , in the end her heart will obviously be hurt .
