Episode 1

It's been almost two months since Thalia began her life as a wife, and for almost two months too, Thalia had never received treatment befitting a wife from her husband, Rasya Putra Sanjaya. Let alone giving affection, even inviting her to communicate was very rare. Even so, Thalia still tried to carry out her duties as a wife, one of which was preparing food even though Rasya never wanted to touch her cooking.

Like before, tonight Rasya only returned to the apartment at twelve midnight. Thalia was well aware that Rasya was deliberately avoiding her.

Realizing her husband's movements to go upstairs, Thalia immediately returned to her room. Yes, they had never slept in the same room during their marriage.

"Click."

Just getting into bed, Thalia was surprised by the sound of her room door being opened from the outside.

"Mas Rasya...." It's no wonder Thalia looked surprised considering that this was the first time her husband had entered her room during their marriage.

The eagle gaze that stabbed sharply at her was able to shrink Thalia's courage.

"Wh-what's wrong, mas???" Thalia's voice faltered, afraid she had made a mistake she didn't realize.

Instead of answering, Rasya continued his steps towards the bed.

"What did you say to my mother??? You must have complained, right???"

Thalia frowned in confusion hearing her husband's accusation.

"No need to act, Thalia....!! I know very well what kind of woman you are." Rasya continued to hurl accusations at Thalia.

"This afternoon, Mom did invite me to accompany her shopping at the mall, but I swear, mas, I didn't say anything to Mom."

"Liar..." Rasya's shout startled Thalia, so shocked. Even though Rasya had always been cold to her, the man had never shouted at her like tonight.

"If you didn't complain to Mom, then how could Mom know that I never touched you during our marriage, huh???"

"I don't know either, mas, how Mom knows." Actually Thalia was just as confused as Rasya, how her mother-in-law could know about all that.

Of course Rasya didn't believe all of his wife's words.

"Alright... if that's what you want, I'll do it. But remember, all of this I'm doing is nothing more than my duty as a husband, not because I want you, let alone love you." Stabbing to the heart, that's what Rasya's words were like just now.

"What are you doing, mas???" Thalia's body trembled greatly as Rasya pushed her body until she fell onto the bed.

Rasya grinned as he watched Thalia's face change, as if she was scared. "Didn't we do it before we got married, so why are you still acting like this, Thalia." The fear on Thalia's face was considered by Rasya as a form of acting.

Thalia swallowed hard. It seemed that what she was worried about would happen, if Rasya really touched her tonight. Rasya would know that actually nothing happened between them that night.

Not wanting to hear anything more from Thalia's mouth\, Rasya then covered her with a ki*ss. Rasya\, who initially only wanted to teach Thalia a lesson for daring to complain about him to his mother\, seemed to be starting to be lulled by the beauty of his wife's bo*dy until without realizing it\, the man really did unite.

Tears that fell in the corner of his wife's eyes and the difficulty he felt when trying to break through his wife's defense, made Rasya feel something was amiss. But his desire to complete his lu*st seemed to be greater than the oddity he was feeling, so the man continued his game until he managed to reach the peak.

Blo*od stains that stuck to his treasure, finally answered the oddity in Rasya's heart.

"You're still a virgin????"

Deg.

Thalia's heart seemed to stop beating. Now Rasya knew the truth that nothing happened between them that night.

Rasya rubbed his face in frustration. The man didn't know how to act. On one hand there was a feeling that couldn't be expressed in words when getting his wife's purity, but on the other hand Rasya felt that Thalia had been deceiving him all this time.

"Forgive me, mas...!!!" Thalia didn't dare to raise her gaze.

"Why are you so cruel, Thalia??? Is it because you didn't succeed in getting Mas Abi so you dared to deceive me like this, huh???" Now Rasya's intonation sounded soft but piercing in Thalia's heart.

Thalia shook her head, as if to dismiss her husband's accusation.

"Get out of here.... I don't want to see your face again!!! I don't want to live with a deceitful woman like you!!!" Rasya's voice echoed to the ceiling of the room and that made Thalia's body tremble even more in fear. Even the pain in her sensitive area was no longer heeded by Thalia. The woman got out of bed, picking up one by one her clothes that were piled on the floor.

Rasya also left, but before really leaving Thalia's room, the man spoke again. "I hope I don't see your face here tomorrow!" After that, Rasya continued his steps.

At one in the morning, Thalia dragged her suitcase. Before opening the apartment door, Thalia looked sadly at the door of Rasya's room which was now completely closed. "Forgive me, mas..."

"Thalia... why are you coming at night like this???" Instead of letting her daughter in, Mom bombarded Thalia with questions.

Mom's feelings began to worry when her gaze was drawn to the large suitcase Thalia was carrying.

"Don't tell me you ran away from home???" Mom's face was no longer friendly.

"Mas Rasya already knows everything, mah." As a child, Thalia hoped that her mother would hug her just to give her support, but Thalia didn't get all of that. Because Mom refused her arrival, asking her to immediately return to her husband's apartment.

Being kicked out of her husband's house and not being accepted back into her parents' house, made Thalia confused about where to go.

"Oh God... is this what it feels like to live alone...???" If she were a biological child, maybe she wouldn't get such treatment from Mom, but unfortunately she was just an adopted child.

The glow of car lights that stopped not far from her dazzled Thalia's eyes.

"Oh my God, Thalia.... what are you doing walking alone at night like this???" With a worried face, a woman got out of her car and approached Thalia.

"Riri..."

The girl named Riri was one of Thalia's friends on campus back then, the relationship between the two was quite close, it's just that after Riri decided to work at one of the companies in city S, the two no longer met.

Riri invited Thalia into her car. As a friend, Riri didn't force Thalia to share her story if she wasn't ready yet, but the large suitcase that Thalia was carrying was enough to be the answer to her friend's current condition.

"Tonight I will return to city S. if you want, you can come with me, Thalia!" Thalia's sad face immediately lit up hearing Riri's offer.

"Are you sure you don't mind if I come with you???"

Riri gave a smile. "If I mind, I wouldn't have invited you, dear Thalia."

It's not without reason that Riri is so generous in helping Thalia. For the girl, Thalia is the only one of her campus friends who always helps her when she is in trouble. Thalia even helped her pay off her semester fees.
