Beautiful in pain

“From today I declare you two as husband and wife.” Said the priest blessing the two brides who were in front of him. Now I allow you to kiss each other as a sign.”

Adriel and Hana looked at each other, Adriel half-heartedly kissed Hana’s forehead, only for a short time as a formality according to him.

The wedding was held in secret, only the Vikrama family came. As for Hana’s parents? They didn’t come, even to contact them Hana couldn’t, Hana’s parents really disappeared somewhere. Her Mama and father were completely distant from her. Hana suddenly burst into tears, he didn’t think he would marry Adriel so soon. Hana could see a hint of compulsion emitted by Adriel.

(flashback)

Hana wiped her tears from her cheeks to her chin, she had enough complaining. Looks like Hana has to leave the Vikrama family residence, there is no peace and comfort for her there. Hana knew this was wrong, but she had surrendered to God.

“You are sure to leave the Vikrama family residence.”

Hana nodded.

“I’m sure auntie, I have some savings from my previous work. That’s enough for a few months and to rent. Maybe after this I’ll look for another job.”

“Hahhh… aunty can only accept your decision Hana. But don’t forget to call aunty if you have any need or whatever.”

Aunt Laksmi took Hana in a warm embrace, but suddenly Aunt Laksmi fell silent when she saw someone who was now standing behind Hana’s body.

“Master?”. She said slowly.

Hearing master’s words, Hana immediately let go of her embrace and turned her body. She was no less surprised when she saw the figure of Adriel who had already stood up and was looking at her with glare.

“You are not going anywhere, you will stay in my house. With my family and Aunt Laksmi.” he said coldly.

“why?”. Hana asked hesitantly.

“Because you, will marry me. Isn’t that what you want.”

Hana’s body suddenly froze instantly. Mixed feelings immediately consumed him. He really can’t escape the Vikrama family’s ties.

During the return journey, there was no conversation between Hana or the others. Time to go back to the Vikrama family’s house, or can Hana call it the in-laws’ house? I don’t know, Hana doesn’t know what situation or role she is currently playing.

Hana kept her head down, she didn’t dare to raise it. Before entering the car, he had a chance to meet Adriel’s gaze, Han understood that gaze very well. Even though their status changed from master and servant to husband and wife, Hana could tell that the look Adriel gave her was a huge rejection. She was aware of it.

Was this marriage wrong? A marriage full of drama and compulsion. Hana instilled in herself that this marriage was just a stage for her. She couldn’t hope for more, but for her she still had to take care of Adriel, because he was her husband.

“You sly brat! Now you’ve made it!” just as Hana entered the mansion, she already received a scream from Tamara. Seeing their mommy tantrum, David and Serran prefer to go back to their respective rooms.

“Tara! What are you saying dear.” Jeffran tried to calm his wife down.

“Just let her know, I’m sure you were the one who teased and framed my son! Remember! Even though you’re married to my son, your status is still a servant in this house, keep that in mind.” Tamara wasn’t satisfied with just yelling at Hana, with emotions overflowing Tamara violently pushed Hana’s body to the ground.

Adriel was surprised by the actions taken by his mother, but he pretended not to see it, he turned his gaze elsewhere so he wouldn’t see Hana’s begging eyes asking for help.

“Tara!” Jeffran snapped in a high tone.

“I will never accept this sly woman as a daughter-in-law, once a maid is always a maid.

Tamara returned to her room, leaving behind her own mess. She didn’t care if Jeffran would scold her so badly after this.

Jeffran bent down and helped Hana to her feet. He stroked the top of the head affectionately, giving strength to his sweet daughter-in-law.

“Please be patient with Tamara’s attitude, she is now your mother-in-law. She is actually good. It’s just that she doesn’t believe in and accept the conditions, please Hana don’t hate her.”

“Yes Master.” Hana answered in a small voice.

“No, I’m not your master. Call me daddy.”

“O-okay dad.” The answer was hesitant.

“Adriel, now take Hana to your room. Now she is your wife, so from tonight Hana will sleep with you.”

“B-but dad…” Adriel tried to argue.

“No buts or later. Now hurry up and bring Hana! She must be tired.” after giving orders to Adriel, Jeffran also went into the room to follow Tamara there.

Adriel took a deep breath, today really drained all his thoughts, calm, and emotions. But, because he didn’t want to hear anger from his father, Adriel had to take Hana to his room.

“Follow me!” Adriel stepped in first, leaving Hana who was full of doubts. He timidly started to follow Adriel to the second floor, to be precise in front of Adriel’s room.

“Enter!” he said with a little shout to Hana who was still silent in the doorway, she opened the door but was reluctant to enter.

“I said come in! Are you deaf?! I don’t have time to deal with your indecision!” he said with a sharp look at Hana.

Hana hurriedly dragged her feet to enter the room. She was really afraid that Adriel had looked at her like that, just as Hana was inside. Adriel immediately slammed the door hard making Hana jump in surprise, Adriel didn’t go inside.

Hana took a deep breath, today was really tiring. Even Hana couldn’t even cry, she just stared blankly into the room that felt empty and dark.

Sick.

Congested.

Afraid.

Quiet.

Ostracized.

Hana’s got too many emotions.

She looked up.

“God, I will never stop believing in You. I always believe in all the plans you have arranged, even in the worst case scenario that I have to play my part. But one thing I ask for, please take care of my little baby.”
