Bonds Without Love
ITC #16

Bhishma knew every grandmother would talk in a special room, there must be something important that they would talk about, and lastly she and her grandmother talked there, they both talked about arranged marriages.

Tonight, no matter what they were going to talk about, Bhishma hoped it was not related to Erina's pregnancy, they had already discussed it at the dinner table, and she felt she had answered it clearly.

Currently, Bisma and her grandmother were in the special room, they were only there, while Erina was in the kitchen helping the maid clean up their food marks.

"Bisma, you have a lover?" Ask Grandma Sekar while staring at her granddaughter's search.

Bisma was surprised by what her grandmother had just asked, she did not expect her grandmother would ask that, of course Bisma already had a lover, and her lover was Erina, Sekar's own grandmother's choice woman.

"You and Erin got into a fight because of your boyfriend, right?" grandma Sekar again threw her question, and it took a few seconds to make Bhishma understand the direction of her grandmother's conversation.

"How much do you love that woman until you hurt the woman I chose for you?" granny Sekar still showered Bisma with questions without letting her granddaughter answer first.

"You want to be like your father who hurt your mother?" sekar's grandmother's voice rose even almost screamed, she had tried to hold back at dinner because there was Erina among them.

Sekar's grandmother thought that the Bhishma who helped Erina answered was someone who was playing a show in front of her, the woman did not believe about Bhishma who had planned a honeymoon.

In fact, if next week Bisma and Erina go on a honeymoon, Sekar's grandmother has the thought that Bhishma will bring her lover, exactly like what happened to Bhishma's parents in the past.

Bisma clenched her hands, she most disliked that her grandmother had talked about 'father' because she herself hated her father, the son of a bitch who made her have to live without complete parents.

Bhishma remembered her mother's story, the man chose another woman over her pregnant mother, and she felt that such a man was not at all worthy of being her father.

Bisma understood very well that Sekar's grandmother also hated her father, as a mother whose son was betrayed, according to him the feeling of hatred was very reasonable and Bhishma understood it.

But, Bisma would never accept if her grandmother equated herself with the unlucky man who had the status of her father. Because Bhishma also hates the man's actions.

"Have you?" Ask Bhishma with a hardened jaw.

"Grandmother, my mother has died a long time ago, can't grandmother love me like she loves you?" Bhishma shed her tears, without caring about her pride as a man.

"I can't deny the fact that in my blood flows the blood of that jerk guy, but we're different people, can't grandma trust me?" Bhishma paused for a moment because her chest was tight.

"I'm sorry, I think we've had enough of our talk here, grandma doesn't have to show me grandma's hate, I already know how much hate it is, grandma even let me grow up with other people."

The bisma who intended to leave the room stopped her steps and said. "Grandmother take it easy, I won't hurt Erin, I love her and won't let her get hurt even though my own life is at stake."

After that, Bisma left Grandma Sekar just like that, she could not be in the same room with her grandmother any longer, Bhishma already felt unable to breathe the same air as her grandmother.

"Bisma?" The voice halted Bhishma's steps, the man turned around and stared blankly at the woman standing not far from where he was standing.

Erina, the woman accidentally heard the talk of Bisma and her grandmother, coincidentally when Sekar's grandmother shouted, Erina was passing through the room where Bisma and her grandmother were.

Erina immediately ran over to Bisma and showed her husband the best smile as they stood facing each other.

"Why crying?" Erina asked while wiping away Bhishma's tears using both of her thumbs.

"Which man can cry." Erina was being teased to comfort her husband, but it didn't seem to work, Bhishma still looked at him blankly.

Erina sighed softly, the woman did not know for sure what kind of problem Bhishma was in, but according to what Erina heard it seemed like it was a very serious matter, even Erina could see the sadness of her husband just by looking into his eyes.

****

Erina took Bisma to the back garden, actually Erina really wanted to take her husband home, but Erina could not drive a car and could not let a sad man drive.

Erina hugged Bisma who was still speechless with a blank look while whispering. "You have me who will love and trust you, don't be sad?"

Erina leaned her head against the chest of the field of Bhishma, no matter how Bhishma would look at her, Erina only cared about what her little heart said.

Erina must not let Bisma dissolve in grief for too long, she wants to bring back her annoying yet cheerful husband, Erina does not like to see her husband turn quiet.

"Thank you." Reply to Bisma in a low voice while responding to Erina's embrace, the man closed his eyes to enjoy the warmth Erina channeled towards him.

"Erin, actually you don't have to do this, I'm fine." Bisma chuckled, today his wife has given him a lot of surprises.

Erina was indifferent to the words of Bhishma, Erina felt there was nothing wrong with what she was doing, comforting Bhishma was her duty as a wife.

"I don't know what you've heard, but I'm comforted because you said you would love and trust me." Bisma said as she tightened her embrace and kissed the top of Erina's head.

Bisma was silent because she had to see Erina's widest smile when she saw herself crying, she also felt Erina's soft hands touch her face and keep her mouth locked.

Bhishma was used to receiving hatred from her grandmother, probably because the face of Bhishma and her father was similar, Sekar's grandmother hated Bhishma without caring the slightest about the kindness of her granddaughter.

"entertained? this guy!" Erina sneered at Bhishma in her heart, how could Bhishma consider her pure word as entertainment.

"You must be cold to the point of hitting me." Bisma mocked his wife.

"Lo has a talent for nyebelin huh?" Erina again sneered at Bhishma in her heart and immediately moved away from her annoying husband.

"Whatever, let's go home." Erina said while turning her back on Bhishma.

Erina was already lazy towards Bhishma, should from the beginning the woman remain her and let Bhishma sad alone, Erina regretted having said much.

Bisma smiled, it seemed like she had managed to upset Erina, because the flat woman had just spoken loudly.

Bisma hugged Erina from behind while whispering. "I know you're cold."

"Hm." Erina said, Erina was really cold because of the lack of materials she currently wears, so there was no harm if Erina enjoyed the embrace of Bhishma.

The bisma develops a smile. "Oh yeah, you don't want to ask about our honeymoon?" Ask divert.

"Our honeymoon? you think I'd like to be invited to a honey mulan?" Ask Erina ketus.

"Of course you should, didn't you always follow my wishes from the beginning?"

Yes alright! Whatever!
