Forced Marriage Chapter 16
Chapter 16"Okay, if mommy is okay, instead, mom should go home with Jovan later." Ernawati nodded again, understanding her son's concern. Indeed, since the accident that killed her husband, the woman was a little traumatized to ride a vehicle let alone travel far, so when Edwin picked her up from the village, Ernawati did not want to sit far from her own child.There are still untouched lunch boxes in the tote bag. The woman grabbed him and led Edwin to sit on the sofa."Eat, please, you must be hungry after work all day." Edwin smiled faintly, even though he wasn't really hungry, considering that dinner was still long, after all, he had enjoyed a lot of food during a meeting at the hotel."Ed, are you tired right now?" Edwin turned his head as his mouth was about to open and stuffed a piece of chicken into his mouth. Even though he's not too hungry, his mother's cooking always makes him feel good."No, Mom, I'm not too busy today. I was just doing work as usual and going to meetings
Forced Marriage Chapter 17
Chapter 17Edwin's chest moved up and down when he heard the words of the woman lying on the bed. He did not think that Melati was so selfish. It even felt like he wanted to squeak and put a hand over his mouth that was presumptuous to speak without thinking first."You know Melati, even my brother has been married for almost twenty years, but he hasn't been blessed with children despite all his efforts. And you just talk casually. You already know that committing adultery is a very big sin, and you want me to let it go. you died with your child. It's really bad thinking. At least after you've committed a sin, you can take a lesson and realize your mistake and repent, instead of being selfish like this all the time!""I don't need a lecture from you! Just keep it all to yourself. Besides, what do you know about my life to be so brave to judge me, huh!?" Melati glared at him. Their gazes sharpened as if they wanted to eat each other.Without them knowing, Vienna, who had just opened th
Forced Marriage Chapter 18
Chapter 18Edwin rubbed his face roughly, then began to describe how the marriage had happened. His friend nodded trying to understand what was really going on."Yes I know, at a time like that you must be helpless. But, how could that happen? I mean, did you know the girl before? Though I don't think so, because I know by heart no woman wants to be around you." Jonathan laughed again. He wanted to be funny, but Edwin didn't care at all."You're right, Jo. I don't know the woman, it's just that I saw her once when I visited mom's house last year. Yes, I only caught a glimpse of her, saw the joy on her face. Maybe that's exactly why her dad pulled me up the aisle. and ordered me to do a marriage contract by marrying me to his son.""Well, didn't you know beforehand that the woman was already pregnant?""How could I know when I see my mother very rarely, after all I saw her the first night.""You tried it on the first night even though you just met him?"Edwin glared sharply. Talking to
Forced Marriage Chapter 19
Chapter 19Time moved towards midnight. Edwin deliberately turned on the light in the room to keep it on. His eyes continued to pay attention to Melati who was sleeping with a regular roar. Still remembering what the doctor said a few moments ago, when Melati felt intense contractions in her lower abdomen, more than the cramps that women usually experience."If she continues to experience this, then we can be sure that she will miscarry considering that the fetus in the womb is already five months old, and it is very dangerous for both the mother and the baby in her womb. So try not to let her think that it makes her stressed or think heavy and excessive. Let the patient feel calm and keep him away from things that can trigger his anger." Edwin nodded with a heavy head, hearing the explanation of the doctor who had finished examining Melati, then entered the room, where the woman had fallen asleep due to the medicine given by the doctor.'What should I do with you, after you got me in
Forced Marriage Chapter 20
Chapter 20"Are you trying to blackmail me on purpose?" The man pounded the table, and glared at a man who seemed to be smiling slyly. The man's leg was deliberately lifted up and rested on his left foot, indicating that he was not at all afraid of the bluff of the man who was still handsome in front of him."There is a price for information, sir. Moreover, what I have to say this time will surely make you completely unexpected. And the information I bring this time, is great news, which you too will be immediately shocked or excited after hearing it. ""What do you really know? Say it fast!""If you think it's going to be free, I'd better go. But I will assure you that you will lose something valuable, compared to the treasure you've been chasing all this time!""Is that important?" The man wearing the hat in front of him nodded firmly."Yes, of course!""Just watch out if you say stupid things, which will make me regre
Forced Marriage Chapter 21
Chapter 21Edwin let what his mother did to the woman whose stomach was already rounded in front of her. In fact, Ernawati's face was very happy when Melati was willing to wear the clothes that she gave to the woman. While Melati herself didn't talk much and looked awkward, Ernawati left her along with Edwin to the dining room to make sure all the food was ready."Take your wife to eat, Ed!" Ernawati exclaimed while setting the plates on the table which made Edwin and Melati turn to the right of the room, then glance at each other."Are you hungry now? Let's have lunch," said Edwin flatly."Actually, I'm not very–""Mel, please respect my mother's efforts. Besides, she must have prepared healthy dishes for you and your baby," said Edwin as he walked first which made Melati uneasy. He realized his mistake. She realized that she was a woman who was indebted to Edwin and to the family. So he must know himself and also have to respect them mo
Forced Marriage Chapter 22
Chapter 22The atmosphere at the airport seemed crowded even though it was already midnight. Edwin stood staring at the arrival where his only sister was walking towards him with one hand dragging a large suitcase with a paper bag hanging beside it.The girl looked around for the whereabouts of her lover who promised to pick her up."Who are you looking for, Kirana? Your handsome brother is already standing in front of you," said Edwin with a big smile, making Kirana glare at him. But a split second later, pinched Edwin's cheek in exasperation while hugging the man tightly.Kirana has spent almost ten days abroad, because of her desire to see beauty in other parts of the world."Why did my brother pick me up? Even though I was hoping for someone," he said with a disappointed face, when the man who was expected to pick him up, did not see the bridge of his nose at all."Are you waiting for someone else? Ugh, it's a waste of two ho
Forced Marriage Chapter 23
Chapter 23"Sorry, I didn't mean to. You must be uncomfortable and in pain." Edwin immediately withdrew his hand, got up and went straight to the bathroom to wash up. After that, he held a prayer rug and fulfilled his obligations and recited the prayers solemnly which continued to get the attention of Melati.Although she has also been taught religious knowledge since childhood by her father by bringing a Koran teacher to her house, Melati very rarely performs worship rituals, in fact she has almost forgotten the last time she prayed, perhaps when she was a teenager.Melati slightly regretted what she had done, in contrast to the man in front of her, who besides being pious also never left her obligations. Although Melati slightly regretted the attitude of the man who always spoke curtly and annoyed him.Melati immediately went to the bathroom while Edwin was reciting holy verses. Only a few moments later he was finished and lay back down in his p
