Forced Marriage (Secret Wife)
Prologues

"Sir, how should I? I don't know what to do" said the girl, sitting restlessly on the edge of the bed where the master lay grimacing and delirious. The master's face was pale and he could feel the man have a high fever.

While he can't do anything. The day was getting darker and more concentrated the night began to arrive, along with that the sound of thunder rumbling also became a partner of the downpour of heavy rain that night.

It was time to go home, his job was over. But seeing the master who is now suffering so much alone makes it unbearable. When in fact he was very afraid now, being in a room with a grown man he used to call master, just the two of them. He was very afraid it would cause slander, especially if his parents knew then he was finished.

But the pull of the master's hand and the man's tight grip on his wrist made him unable to do anything even to take a compress to compress the man.

"Ti-no need to do anything. You just have to sit here and accompany me, I can't be alone in the rain. I-I was traumatized by the rain" said the master slowly making him look at the man shocked and pitying. Does this happen often in the rain?

He also became increasingly unbearable, there was no way he left the man himself, no one else could accompany the master other than himself.

Finally, he nodded at his request of the master, he only hoped that this night would pass quickly and that tomorrow he could quickly return home quietly in the morning blind so that his father and mother would not suspect.

"Ara, don't go. Accompany me here," the man pleaded while his hand was still held tightly by the man.

"Sir, I'm here. I'm not leaving" said the girl, who turns out to be named Ara.

"You sleep here" said the master, pointing to the place next to him.

Ara was surprised, how could she sleep in one bed with a man who was not her husband? This is not true and this is very wrong.

"But sir..."

"Come here, I don't do anything. I just want to hug you, I beg you this is so scary for me."

Ara gulped her saliva nervously. Sleeping together? A hug? With the master who is so handsome and always the center of attention in his village since the man came to handle the construction of tourist projects in his village.

How could a maid seem to sleep in her master's expensive bed? He was with the man without any relationship between them. He couldn't have done that.

"Master, I-I don't... Akhh." the sudden, powerful thunder made Ara scream in shock until she unconsciously threw herself into the man's arms.

"Pardon me... " Ara was about to move back, but the man wrapped his hands around her waist and held her body.

"Leave it like this." said the man quietly right in his ear. The face of the man who was now on his nape made him breathe irregularly. Never in his entire life for 17 years, he was this close to a man. Can feel the breath of the master who blows on his nape makes him creepy.

In the end, he could do nothing. In the end, he lost to this man power. And in the end there was nothing he could do but fall asleep in the arms of the master.

Morning arrived, the noise of many people made the two humans who were still lying asleep hugging each other was disturbed.

Faintly Ara heard like the sound of crying and also the sound of disbelief from many people. His eyes flickered like he was still completely unconscious. It is still between the real world and dreams. Whether the voices he heard were dream or real.

But hearing such a real crying sound and the sound of crying very much like the sound of his mother made him inevitably try to open his eyes and try to adjust the lighting that goes into his retina.

And the first person he saw was the closed face of the master who was still holding his waist tightly. He was very surprised, but then he tried to wake up the master as well.

"Master, it's morning. I'm sorry I have to go" he said, causing the master to squirm in his sleep.

"Hmm.., fine." said the man still with his eyes closed. Ara also tried to remove the master's hand from his waist, then he tidied his clothes and hair.

But when he rolled his body, his eyes were perfectly patterned. He was very surprised to see some villagers standing at the door of the room with a gaze full of anger like he made a very fatal mistake. And yes, he did make a fatal mistake.

What made him even more unsettled was where his gaze met the gaze of the mother who was now looking at him full of disappointment. The tears of the woman he loved so much continued to flow making his chest as slashed. He had made his mother's trust in him destroyed already, even though he had not done anything really wrong.

"Mom-mother, this is not what you see." said Ara trying to explain.

"What's not like we saw Ara? You committed adultery in your master's villa with your master. Anyway you two should get married," said the kades full of authority but managed to make Ara quiver in fear.

"I-I didn't commit adultery ma'am, ma'am help me, tell them that I can't do that" Ara pleaded with her mother. But what he saw was his mother turning her eyes away from him like she could not believe what he was saying.

"What is there that you can't do? You guys sleep hugging each other like that. Who believes you're not committing adultery?" said one of the residents made Ara's cry was finally broken.

After a while, the master woke up from his sleep. He felt disturbed by the noise, when in fact his eyes were still sleepy.

"What's this?" he asked calmly despite seeing how many residents raided them made him unsettled. He thinks he'll be in trouble soon.

"Look at Hanz, this morning Wahida's mother reported to us that her daughter Ara had disappeared last night. He hasn't come home either after permission to go here in his place who's sick to clean up this villa. We were also inspired to find Ara together around the village, until we arrived here. It turns out that Ara is here, and you're alone in one room. You have committed adultery and you must be married. It's the village rule and no one can break including the son of Hanz" said the village chief who immediately made the man's head almost broke. His headache is also increasing.
