Since You Married Me
Limited to Responsibility

"Let's get married."

Zaya was flabbergasted with perfectly rounded eyes. He was trying to digest Aaron's sentence just now. Trying to convince himself that he is not hallucinating at the moment.

"Let's get married, Zaya," Aaron repeated. This time with a voice that sounded clearer than before.

Zaya did not answer. His conscience still refused to believe what he had heard earlier.

"Don't joke, sir," he said later. He really did not want to believe if now Aaron was asking her to marry.

Aaron took a breath.

"I'm not kidding," he said. He looked back at Zaya. This time with a softer look.

"This child, I don't want him to be born as a fatherless child. I don't want people mocking him by saying he's an illegitimate child. All the difficulties that exist in this world, I don't want him to experience them, Zaya. He's my flesh and blood. Everything I have now, I want him to have it too. And the first thing I wanted to give him was his legitimate status as my son. That's why I'm telling you, let's get married."

Zaya is still stunned. His heart feels full. He really did not expect Aaron would care so much about the child in the womb.

Zaya knows what it's like to be ridiculed for being considered an illegitimate child. Sick and pathetic. Of course, he also did not want if his son would experience the same thing. It's just that, it's never been imagined in his mind if Aaron would marry her. He was just an orphan who had nothing to be proud of. As for Aaron, Zaya knows that Aaron is like a star in the sky that is far above him.

Then now, Aaron himself said he wanted to marry her and give her a legitimate status. Can Zaya be happy?

"Is Mister serious?" zaya asked as she ventured into Aaron's eyes.

Aaron looked back at Zaya.

"Of course" he answered. Then he turned his gaze again in the other direction.

"But, Zaya ... I can't promise you anything for this marriage" she said.

"I can't guarantee this marriage will last forever. Maybe someday I'll meet another woman who makes me fall in love and leave you. Or on the contrary, instead I fell in love with you and we will be together until the end. Anything can happen, Zaya. So, I can't promise you anything I might not be able to keep."

"Do you want to do it?" ask Aaron with emphasis. The eyes of Zaya. This time with a very deep look.

Zaya did not answer. He was still trying to digest the word for word Aaron had just said.

Aaron's gonna marry her for a responsibility. Of course in the future he is not allowed to expect more on Aaron. And everything will definitely not be easy for Zaya. But, if it's for the future of his child candidate, why not? Even harder than that, Zaya will do it, right?

"Well ...," Zaya replied at last. He lowered his face to avoid Aaron's gaze.

"You ready?" ask Aaron reassuringly.

"Yes." Yeah." Zaya replied while nodding slowly. He then lifted his face and ventured back to look back at Aaron.

The two of them were both silent, while continuing to stare at each other. Trying to explore each other what is in the mind of each. Aaron then reached out his hand, hinting at Zaya to welcome.

Zaya looks at Aaron's helping hand, then looks up and looks at Aaron again, as if asking for an explanation for what Aaron did.

Aaron nodded his head. Answer Zaya's doubts. Finally, with a slight tremble Zaya stretched out her hand, welcoming Aaron's helping hand. Soon after, Aaron clasped Zaya's fingers, channeling a warmth that Zaya had never felt before.

Aaron stepped back, accompanied by Zaya. They walked down the corridor of the hospital with interlocking hands. As if you want to share the strength to face whatever will happen later.

For Zaya's entire life, this was the first time a man walked with her while clasping her hand tightly. Heart warms. A foreign feeling suddenly infiltrated his heart, mixed with the growing haru flavor. Eventually Zaya lost. His tears fell without being able to stop him.

___________________________________________

The marriage was very closed. Only a few people attended from Aaron's side. Aaron's personal secretary, assistant and lawyer. And a few other Aaron confidants.

As for the party from Zaya, there was definitely no one attending. Besides because Zaya is indeed a kara, of course the other cause is that she should not tell anyone about her marriage to Aaron. Some kind of secret wedding.

Actually, Zaya really wanted to contact Kara. He told his best friend that he was fine and married. But all that he couldn't do.

Her marriage to Aaron forces Zaya to bury all of her past. No exception to anything.

Oh, Kara.

He must be worried about Zaya dying because Zaya never gave him any more news.

The day after the wedding, Aaron takes Zaya to his main house. The house was several times larger than the house Zaya had previously occupied.

There were many servants in the house, as well as some gardeners. And they all lived in the pavilion located in the backyard of Aaron's house.

Aaron introduces Zaya to the servants as the hostess. Yes, although Aaron did not introduce Zaya to the people as his wife, at least in the presence of the servants Aaron still gave Zaya a face.

"This is my room" Aaron said, opening the door and letting Zaya in.

"And now it's your room too" he continued.

Zaya stunned. He thought Aaron would give him a separate room.

"Next to my work space. I usually sleep there." Aaron told me again.

Zaya smiled miris. Turns out that's why Aaron didn't give him a separate room.

What are you thinking, Zaya.

"Rest. I'm going to the study. There are some documents I need to read." Aaron's words disperse Zaya's daydreams.

Zaya nodded. Then after Aaron disappeared, Zaya obeyed Aaron's words to rest.

Zaya laid herself on the king-size bed. He's very tired. Slowly his eyes closed and entered into the dreamland.

Zaya woke up early. He fell asleep last afternoon and missed dinner, so now he woke up hungry. Slowly he came out of his room, intending to look for the kitchen. But then his eyes looked towards Aaron's study. His heart was so tingled to enter the room.Thus his hand finally boldly turned the door knob.

Not locked.

Zaya opened the door slowly and slipped in. The room was slightly dimmed because the main light had already been extinguished. Aaron fell asleep on a sofa bed that was there with a blanket slightly exposed.

Zaya's approaching. He lifted Aaron's blanket and straightened Aaron's slightly bent legs.

For a moment Zaya was stunned. He looked at Aaron carefully. Everything that is attached to that face is beautiful. Like a well-crafted work of art.

Zaya smiled at Aaron's jaw which began to be overgrown with fine fur. It seems like her husband has been so busy lately, that he has not had time to shave.

A moment later Zaya's gaze turned ironic. Why can a man as perfect as Aaron be stuck with his self that is nothing? Doesn't she deserve a woman who deserves to be a companion? That's not fair.

Zaya looked at her growing belly. The only reason for all the injustice Aaron was feeling. How lyrical. Aaron Brylee has to get caught up in a marriage that's not worth it. Even though marriage is only a responsibility.

Seriate....
