Bridal Stain
Awareness of Pain

Fresh red stains seemed to be splattered on the tangled white sheets. With a woman lying awake from her stupor.

Anggreya felt pain all over his body. He slowly opened his eyes which were heavy. Then get up and sit limp in the middle of the bed.

“Aw .. why my whole body hurts like this,” he muttered, holding his head slowly.

Grey spread his gaze across the room. Next to his hand rubbed gently his neck that felt sore, along with his head that turned slowly. However, something he saw made him completely shocked. He only realized that his body was now naked, not covered by any thread, except a white blanket that rolled at the tip of his feet.

His mouth was open, closed by one hand. "Huh? Wh-what happened?" panicked out.

Suddenly, he recalled an incident that made him lose consciousness. “No, i-it's all definitely a dream! I-this isn't real, is it?” Grey looked at the white kimono lying just like that on the floor. And he was even more surprised when he saw some red spots scattered on the sheet.

Now Grey remembers more and more, about the incident a few hours ago, which made himself in pain until fainting, unconscious. Suddenly, a round of scenes between her and Aryo returned clearly in her mind. He really did not accept, that what he experienced was really a real event.

“No!” She screamed hysterically, grabbing both sides of her hair. Then pull the thick blanket on the tip of his foot, to cover his naked body.

“No, this is not real, this is not the case!” Grey shouted increasingly in frustration, with both of his hands clenched and a great tremble, holding back the emotions in his chest. The feeling of sin was increasingly enveloping his heart, he was really helpless against the injustice done by Aryo to him.

Whether the sin was as big as what he had received at the moment, Grey could not imagine it.

“Yes God, why is this happening to me?" then, it began to sob. "What is my fault, God? Why should the destiny you give us be this cruel? Why is it God? Why?!” he screamed in frustration as he continued to cry hysterically.

He hugged his knees drowning his face above his knees. Given the incident with Aryo, she became reminded of her future husband. What if this is known by her husband later, how if this marriage is canceled because of this problem, and how can she live by feeling self that is no longer holy.

Grey was really frustrated, he was further immersed in the sadness and disappointment and anger that was stirring in his chest. Why did Aryo get dirty? Why did Aryo have to be present and ruin it? Why does all this have to happen? What exactly is the wisdom of all this? Is with this a sign that Grey should step back from his matchmaking.

Thousands of eerie questions and shadows spun continuously, filling Grey's head.

“Yes Allah .. If it is like this, what should I do? How can I answer everything in front of my husband?” he just ducked so helplessly.

How can he get married, while he is no longer holy. How could she silence this matter and denounce her husband's trust later.  And if her husband finds out about this, will he hate her?

The tangin sobbing was getting louder and louder. His heart was completely broken, the spirit of life seemed to disappear from his mind. And her hopes in order to realize a marriage and a dream household seemed, slowly eroded and could have disappeared from her mind.

While curling up as hecticly, suddenly, a mobile phone ringing rang out from above the nightstand. Grey had to look towards the source of the sound. His eyes looked so puffy, his nose was very red, and his sticky cheeks from tears kept on for an hour.

Forcibly he shifted his weak body towards the nightstand, one of his hands now reaching for the white flat object that continued to flutter on the nightstand.

“Tante ...” Yura's voice rang out, she recalled her tragedy with Aryo, and made her unable to hold back her cries.

“Grey, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying, did something happen to you?” asked her aunt over there, her voice sounded so panicked.

“Tante ...” Grey's mouth was clenched, along with a sense of tightness that increasingly spread in the chest. He is speechless, in order to remember Aryo's crazy treatment of him.

“Grey! What the hell is going on?! Why are you crying, quickly tell me what exactly is this?!” his voice sounded worried. However, there was no answer from Grey, other than the sound of sobs that sounded increasingly heavy.

“Grey!"

"Grey!"

There was no response or words from Grey. The woman's voice still sounded so bad.

"Say, where are you now, Grey!"

With increasingly tightness in the chest, and the throat that seemed choked held his voice. With all his might Grey had to speak to his aunt. "Ho-hotel room ... F121,” he replied faltering due to his sobbing.

“Don't go anywhere, Auntie will be there right now.”

Tut .. tut .

The phone connection was also cut off.
