Forced Marriage

Joan POV

Happy ? The definition of happiness in my opinion is living side by side with a woman named Liza, a woman who has accompanied me for 17 years. I have gone through ups and downs with him. She is a wife and mother figure who is good for me and also my children. What she said at Cafe Vino that day, I couldn’t believe it. I was sure as sure as she was when she lied to make me hate her. hurted .

I have smiled since earlier to see the beautiful smiles radiating on the faces of the four people who are very meaningful in my life.

This morning at 6 o’clock. 00 we have arrived at the golf course which is not far from the elite housing complex that we live in.

My three children have started playing golf. It’s different from Liza who chose to chat with Dafa who is standing beside me at the moment. This morning we didn’t invite Dafa to play golf together, but I didn’t expect us to meet here this morning.

“Daf, so you always come every weekend to this field?” I asked. Then Dafa nodded.

“Yes, I always come here every Sunday. I accompany my girls to play here,” he replied. I looked around, there were indeed lots of beautiful women with beautiful bodies.

Liza looks shuddered seeing the movements of the Dafa women . They are like women who have no self – respect , one of the women plays puppy eyes at me . Naturally , Liza looks annoyed at the woman ‘s behavior .

“Daf take care of the girls first, I want to play with my wife,” I said goodbye.

I took my wife’s hand to approach our three children who were busy playing.

They played in turns , this time it was Kenzie who was leading the game .

I approached Keenan who was drinking water on a tumblr that he brought from home. He drank the water until half was left.

“Daddy thirsty?” Keenan asked, he handed the Tumblr towards me.

“No honey, just for you. Daddy’s not thirsty yet.”

Keenan nodded as if he understood what I said.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

I embraced my oldest body, looking at him with great affection. When viewed from the side he is indeed very handsome, more handsome than me or Kenzie. It’s just his attitude that makes him have flaws.

“What’s wrong daddy?” Keenan raised an eyebrow in surprise.

“It’s okay, Deddy just feels guilty because he scolded you and Kiran yesterday. I’m sorry daddy.”

“It’s okay dad, your handsome son understands why daddy and mommy are like that.”

I smiled hearing Keenan’s answer. Yesterday I scolded him all out because Keenan skipped school and met Kiran who was obviously sick in a cafe near their school. My emotions really exploded yesterday, the children almost became an outlet because of the fight. me with their mommy.

I really don’t understand Liza’s attitude lately. She’s like a different person from the Liza I know, her will I can’t understand. It becomes difficult to understand .

“Come on Dad! Now it’s Daddy’s turn to play,” said Keenan, interrupting my thoughts.

I immediately took a position and played my go molf club skillfully. I was used to playing this game since childhood, being born into a conglomerate family made me restrained and required to learn how to play golf, play the piano and ride a horse. The same thing happened to women who gave birth to my children .

I played the game for a few minutes, taking turns with Liza. Meanwhile my three children had gone home early because they had to take private lessons held at our house. I hired a teacher to teach them, actually they are smart kids, but I’m afraid they are behind in class and are not used to the way of learning in this country. They don’t have too many vocabulary words, because when they were in America Liza only taught them some vocabulary that was always applied in everyday life, while other vocabulary which certainly shows up in their learning a lot of words that they definitely don’t know.

I wiped my sweat with a small towel , the clock was still showing eight past thirty , but the sun was hot .

Liza looked stifled, she waved her hand towards her face.

“The weather is very hot huh dear?”

“Yeah, bye, it’s hot, I’ll change my clothes first, okay, okay?”

I nodded, he stepped out to take a backpack containing his clothes and headed straight to the bathroom.

Now I’m left alone, I can only look around at everyone passing by in that place.

My eyes fixed on a man whose stature I know very well. He went with a woman. I take my cell phone and take a picture of their closeness secretly. I intend to show the photo to Liza.

The End of Lo Dilan’s History!

Liza must know that Dilan already has a woman he loves. After this I will make sure that Dilan will never be the third person in our relationship again.

I put my phone back in the pocket of my training pants. Not long after, Liza came up to me wearing a slightly formal dress. She was wearing a navy knee-length dress. Her hair, which had been tied up earlier, was now let down beautifully. She was really very beautiful. Her visuals never changed.

” When are you leaving ? Right now ? Or are you still comfortable living here ? ” Liza threw a barrage of questions .

“Now is the time for next year.”

Liza laughed crisply at my small talk. She hit my arm lightly.

“Okay let’s go” he said and I nodded.

I grabbed her backpack, I didn’t allow her to bring anything that could make her tired. I have to be aware of Liza’s current condition, she might just fall again.

My right hand embraces Liza’s body, while my left hand is still faithfully holding her backpack. We immediately rushed to the parking lot and turned around towards a place that will be a witness proof of my love for her for the past 17 years.

Liza immediately got out of the car followed by me . It was already eleven past fifty . We traveled approximately two hours and forty four minutes .

Liza was stunned as well as me . The atmosphere in this place is really cool decorated with pine trees on the left and right side of this bridge .

Liza holds my hand , we cross the bridge . Occasionally Liza smiles at me , I am very happy to see her like this . She really loves nature, she used to inbrot on taking me to this place when she was only a month old. But mom wouldn’t let us, Liza looked disappointed. And after giving birth, Liza still couldn’t visit this place, because we instead moved to America.

I used to not know this place either. Om Google was the one who introduced it to me.

Lembang , this place is located in west Bandung . It takes two hours and forty four minutes to reach it from Jakarta . This place is famous for its hot spring resorts , Lembang is a highland area that is home to the Lembang Floating Market , which is a lakeside park with vendors food and crafts on the boat. The Bosscha Observatory is the place for pre-booked astronomical discussions and stargazing. Tea and strawberry plantations offer excursions with seasonal fruit picking, while horse riding and animal feeding draw families to the farm gardens. Nearby is the Tangkuban Perahu volcano which is popular for hiking.

For me this place is like heaven on earth, this time I will fulfill Liza’s wish and celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary in this place.

“Are you happy, honey?” I asked when we arrived at the park which is close to the edge of the lake.

“Very happy, thank you dear.”

Liza kissed my forehead many times , my face was heating up feeling her gentle touch .

Liza positioned her head resting on my broad shoulder. My hands were busy stroking her beautifully flowing hair. We were both immersed in the sight before us.

What other favors do you deny? Another definition of happiness for me is when I see people I love living happily near me. Just seeing Liza smile can make me this happy.

I took out a red box. Liza looks surprised, he also solves his curiosity.

“What box By?”

“If I tell you, it won’t be a surprise if it’s a name.”

Liza pursed her lips, I raised her head which had turned towards me and let her stare towards the front.

I took out the object that was in the red box and immediately put it on my wife’s neck.

Liza looked surprised and touched , her eyes filled with tears . He immediately hugged me. I thought he would be this happy, not because he got jewelery from me. But because I gave him a Star Necklace.

Liza still remembers clearly that I once said that a star that shines the brightest is the same as the most important person in my life who always lights up my life with its light. I said that while on the rooftop that night, when I asked her to be my friend.

For the last 17 years Liza has always been waiting for a present in the shape of a star. He wants to be the most important part of my life.

She even once assumed that she was not a star in my life. In the past, Liza even accused me, suspecting me of having an affair with my own secretary.
