Could it be love?

"I'm sorry... " Maya said unexpectedly.

Marve should have apologized, right?

"Maya, I ... "

How can my tongue become sighing like this that I was unable to speak?

"You already said it wasn't that I had to be your perfect wife, I have no right to refuse whatever your wish is. I just can't love you." Maya said, her eyes darkened because the sadness came back to her again

Marve was silent, a strange feeling that choked his heart came back every time Maya brought up their contract.

Has he fallen in love with Maya?

Marve then took a deep breath, he could not confirm his feelings for Maya, but he didn't want any distance between them then by looking closely at Maya, Marve said without hesitation.

"Maya .. what if we change our contract."

"Let's not limit anything from now on. If in these three months you feel in love with me or I am in love with you, let's say it honestly. If we fall in love with each other eventually, let's forget the contract." Said Marve.

"What if I was the only one who fell in love with you? " Maya asked sadly, Marve may have many other women around him who are better than her while Maya just looks at him. Then wouldn't it be more possible if Maya's love would be one-sided?

"So realize as soon as possible and make me fall in love with you." Marve's eyes glowed with conviction that made Maya's heart warm again.

"Saying is easy Marve!"

"What if I say I'm already attracted to you? "

Maya's heart was pounding again, Marve has opened her heart to her? Is that true? Or is it just sweet talk so Marve can touch her freely? Maya was lost in her bad thoughts.

"Maya, believe me ... I'm interested in you. "

"Okay .. let's agree." Said Maya after taking a deep breath, she started to smile even though there was a feeling of fear that her heart would be hurt.

Marve smiled, he wouldn't oppose anything. Even if it was true that he had fallen in love with Maya in this short time, he would not deny it.

Maya warmed him every time she smiled, Maya excited him whenever they argued and argued over little things and her heart ached when she saw her cry like last night, so is that enough to be called a feeling of love?

"But... I don't want us to do 'that things' until we confirm how we feel." Maya said, she was shy when she said it but Marve could clearly understand Maya's meaning.

"But can I still kiss you?"

Maya's face flushed again but she did not dare to answer and only looked away because of a blush that she could not endure.

Marve's kiss was so intoxicating that Maya couldn't resist it but she was too embarrassed to say that she didn't mind if Marve kissing her.

Although Maya didn't answer, there was a hint of relief in Marve's heart because at least he wasn't bothered by their contract marriage which was now loosening up.

With a smile, Marve started the engine again and drove the car through the busy but smooth road.

....

Marve's car stopped at a large hospital parking lot and after that Marve immediately got off and ran quickly towards Maya's side who was still having trouble removing the seat belt that was wrapped around her body.

Marve then opened the car door where Maya was sitting and still busy with her seat belt, Marve then removed Maya's seat belt and after that, he carried Maya and surprised Maya because Marve carried her in front of many people.

"Marve put me down... I can still walk." Maya whispered that now she had to hide her face as Marve carried her through the corridors of the busy hospital.

"Calm down Maya ... Your feet will hurt more if you walk," Marve said, he took Maya to the neurologist and fracture room that he had previously made an appointment with.

Marve had been planning since last night if he was going to take Maya to the hospital and gave her a day off because this morning she had told Veronica to go home with the excuse that Maya's leg was injured.

"Marve, I told you that my feet are fine." Said Maya, when Marve put Maya on the hospital bed.

Now a young woman with glasses smiled as she stepped closer. "You are very good at choosing wife, Marven." The doctor named Rose smiled as well as Marve who smiled proudly. Rose is already very curious about Marve's mysterious wife, whom he has been hiding all along. Yes, Rose was one of Marve's friends when he was in college. They are quite close because they are in the same university even though they have different faculties.

"Let me see, what exactly made Marven call me at two in the morning just to check on you." Said Rose, she is very friendly and always smiles, making Maya calm a little.

"So, Mrs. Marven, what made your feet turn blue like this? Did Marven tie your feet when you guys made love?" Rose asked after checking the condition of Maya's feet.

Maya gasped at the doctor's question, what did this doctor just say? Why does she sound as lascivious as Marve's?

"Rose, don't tease my wife ... " Marve reprimanded because Maya's face was getting red and now she was embarrassed.

"So that's right." Rose teased again, she smiled softly and put some ointment on Maya's feet.

"Newlyweds love to overdo it when they make love, how about I give you some advice Mrs. Marven?"

Maya's face was red like a cherry now as well as Marve.

"Come on .. Don't ramble, Rose, hurry up and treat my wife .. " Marve protested again.

It feels good to tease Marve like this because it is very rare to see Marve have an expression, especially being upset like this.

"Marven calms down, I've been treating Maya from earlier. Anyway, she just sprained a little and made her leg a little bruised, but I gave her some painkillers and medicine..." While explaining, Rose touched Maya's feet and turned it slightly, and made a sound like a bone crack and enough to make Maya scream out loud and startle Marve because he didn't notice what Rose was doing to Maya's feet. Marve was just about to scold Rose but Rose interrupted first.

"Your feet will feel better now. If you came here earlier it probably wouldn't have hurt this much." Rose explained. Maya then turned her feet, it feels better and doesn't even hurt like a moment ago.

"Incredible, your hands are magic, Doctor. Thank you very much." Maya said, she was so happy and even now she can jump out of bed and immediately hug Marve because she feels so happy.

"My leg doesn't hurt anymore..." Maya cheered happily as she continued to hug Marve until she woke up and felt ashamed of herself. 

Maya then walks towards Rose while Marve just stands still after receiving an unexpected hug from Maya.

Rose smiled and returned to her chair, Maya then sat in front of Rose.

"Your leg is not completely healed yet, you have to keep applying the medicine that I gave you and play more carefully so that your leg is not sprained again," Rose explained.

Maya feels embarrassed again because Rose continues to discuss things like that.

"And Mrs. Marven I hope you will get Marven junior soon." Rose handed Maya a thick book with a big and clear title written 'Making love all night long.

"Thank you..." Maya said hesitantly, she accepted the book that Rose had given her and looked at Marve's face who was standing next to her who now pretended to look the other way.

***

This ridiculous book for Maya she put in the back seat.

Maya didn't want to see it because the book might contaminate her clear mind into a pervert like Marve although her mind may have turned gray as she was starting to enjoy the kiss Marve gave to her even more if only she hadn't been too embarrassed to ask Marve to kiss her again.

Meanwhile, Marve continued to turn the wheel and drive the car and pretended to be calm although his heart was also in turmoil, especially earlier, Rose also gave him the book 'To be a dream husband, control your wife's desires.' Wow, Rose is crazy. Without wanting to read it, Marve immediately hid it behind the dashboard of his car.

"Where are we going now?" Maya asked, she was a little confused because this road is not in the direction of their house.

"Your aunt's house, didn't I promise you before? " Marve answered

Maya was eager to jump for joy when Marve had just said that they were going to visit her aunt and brother whom she missed so much.
