Forced to Marry

Chapter 9

They were raided and taken to Mr. RT's house for questioning.

"Keep going! Why were you even forced to marry? Is Mas going out with him?" I asked impatiently. Mas Azzam shook his head, his eyes occasionally glanced at the door of the room which was still closed. It seems Mas Azzam is afraid of being caught by Sis Winda.

"No! We're not dating. However, residents accused us of indecent behavior. Even though Mas insisted on rejecting their accusations, we were forced to get married that very night. Mak Ijah was the one who pushed the most at that time," he replied.

"Halah, Mas. If you really don't do anything, why do you want to be forced into marriage? Mas can refuse or at least just leave Sis Winda. After marrying her out of necessity, Mas, you can immediately divorce her!" I said annoyed. I was really irritated by Mas Azzam's attitude who was willing to be forced to admit what he didn't do.

"At first Mas also thought so, but ...." Mas Azzam stopped talking because he heard the sound of the door being opened. Mak Ijah seemed to come out of the room with a smile on his lips.

However, I could see the look in his eyes that looked at me disapprovingly. Who exactly is she? Why does she not like seeing me in this house? , Winda is fine. "She wants to talk to you in the room now!" said Mak Ijah while still glancing at me.

"Oh, yes, Mak. Thank you, yes, Mak." Mas Azzam immediately entered the room. Mak Ijah approached me, his eyes scanned my body from top to bottom then smiled sarcastically.

"I don't care why you married Azzam. Just so you know, Azzam is in love with Winda. So don't you try to snatch Azzam from his hands!" his threats made me wonder.

"Why?" I asked casually. "Why did you say, Winda is my niece. If he gets divorced from Azzam because of you, you will bear the consequences yourself!"

It turns out that Sis Winda is Mak Ijah's nephew, no wonder she was so supportive when Mas Azzam was forced to marry first.

"I also don't want to have an ex-husband, Mom! I...."

"That's good then, I'll take your word for it, okay!" cut off Mak Ijah just like that. What's good about it, huh, this old granny? The next morning, as usual I went outside to get breakfast.

Fortunately, there are many people who sell various types of food for breakfast here, so I have no trouble finding them.

"Deck, where are you from?" Kak Neti greeted me from the front of her house. I just finished breakfast and was going home. It looked like he had just finished sweeping, because his hand was still holding it.

"After breakfast, Sis. Where are the other brothers, but you haven't gathered yet?" I asked because I didn't see he was a member of the other quack trio.

"You're still holding on to that person. Brother is also surprised, just going home can be the same. You're lonely. Come over here, so you have friends!"

It's okay, here, the offer. Than I stay at home. I also turned into Kak Neti's house. As soon as I got home, Kak Neti took me to the kitchen. She wanted to bathe her two-year-old child, while her husband had already left for work, she said. I sat at the table waiting for him to finish. I noticed the condition of Sis Neti's house, it was very different from the state of Winda's house.

It's so clean and well-maintained here, even though Ms. Neti has a toddler she has to take care of too.

Di"What do you want to drink, Deck?" asked Kak Neti while holding her child who was already neat and fragrant.

"Later, Sis. If I'm thirsty, I'll just take it myself," I replied.

"Let's just go to the terrace, let's go. It's nice to sit there, there is a lot of wind," said Kak Neti.

I followed behind Ms. Neti, her child who was in Ms. Neti's arms kept looking at me.

"Well, just sit here, you don't have to go under the tamarind tree," said Ms. Neti. We also sat on the terrace of his house which looked cool and beautiful with many neatly arranged flower plants. Frankly, I'm the laziest to take care of plants. However, seeing Kak Neti's flower collection made me want to imitate too.

"You also have a lot of collections, don't you think? How long have you been keeping these flowers?"

"That's Mamak's inheritance, at least you just add a few pieces. If you stay here for a long time, just plant your yard. I'll give you the seeds later." You can also suggest, Neti, that I don't have any activities. Seeing the state of Ms. Neti's house, I had an idea. However, you have to wait for Mas Azzam to come home from his office first. Looks like he has gone to work because when I was looking for breakfast earlier, I heard the sound of someone taking a shower in the bathroom.

"Hey, how come you're dumbfounded, Dek! Oh yeah, actually my sister doesn't believe that you're Mas Azzam's sister. I don't see anything like you." Kak Neti's words made me flabbergasted. So he began to suspect, this danger. I can't swing here often. It would be terrible if he knew the truth.

"Eh, you can do it. Brothers and sisters, don't have to look alike, Sis," I answered simply.

"At first my brother thought so, but last night I heard Mak Ijah and Mas Azzam talking in front of my brother's house. I don't know if I heard wrong or it's true. I'm not sure yet, that's why I asked you."

"Mak Ijah, the masseur? What did you really hear?" I asked frantically.

"You have to be fair Azzam, not because Clara is the wife that your family approves of. You don't care about Winda anymore! That's what you heard, Deck." Mak Ijah really made my life difficult.
