Chapter 69 - Accidental Touch

Dino curled up in the blanket since the weather is very cold. Dino cursed Bara for bringing him to this island as his body shivered from the cold. This place is perfect for newlywed couples to make love. If Dino and Rere were like any normal married couple they would probably spend a lot of time in their room, sharing mutual warmth and satisfaction.

Dino slowly opened his eyes, chuckling in annoyance because he couldn't find someone beside him, the place next to him was empty. Rere was gone. Dino got up from the bed, took a sweater, and put it on. He doesn't know where his wife went, if only they were really on their honeymoon, it would be very beautiful and fun to make out right after waking up. Hugging Rere tightly, caressing that beautiful body, and making love.

Dino reached the kitchen and found that the food was already there, but he still cannot find his wife there. Since the food is ready to eat, Dino took the corn fritter Rere made and ate it.

"What a strange woman. She said she would not do her duty as a wife but she keeps preparing food for me." Dino grumbled while chewing the corn fritter.

"It is tasty. It turns out that the arrogant girl can cook too." Dino giggled.  He still couldn't believe he had married a young girl like Rere. Dino indeed became energetic as soon as he married Rere, he felt like he was at the same age as Rere.

"Oh, it's delicious," Dino giggled, putting the second corn fritter into his mouth. The corn fritter was still warm so it was very good to eat in this cold weather.

"Rere, where are you?' Dino looked around the room. He got up and looked for Rere in every corner of the resort but couldn't find her.           

Dino stepped out of the resort since he was sure that Rere wasn't inside. The man walked towards the beach to find Rere. The man halted his steps when he saw Rere's slippers on the beach and started to panic for not seeing Rere.

"Where are you, Rere?" Dino became extremely panicked and decided to step into the water immediately. Rere could have committed suicide and drown herself in the sea.

Dino started to dive and swim around. The man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Rere floating in a sleeping position. Rere spread her arms. Her face looks peaceful and there is a slight smile on her lips. That smile turned Dino's world upside down as if Dino was sucked into another dimension. Love doesn't exist, yet but he cares for the girl so much and the desire to protect Rere is getting bigger every day.

Strange woman. Dino grumbled.

The man just stared at Rere without wanting to disturb her. Rere seems to be in her own world and does not even flinch when Dino approaches her.

Rere feels peaceful and serene as she was thrown into a world of comfort and relief. Wanting to forget the dirty dreams that swirled in her mind. It was the second time she dreamed of making love to Dino. Rere wanted to clear her brain by floating in the sea.

Rere was enjoying her time when Dino started to disturb her.

"What are you doing?" Dino nudged Rere's arm.

The woman was shocked and turned over. Rere lost her balance and almost drowned in the sea. Dino immediately tried to grab his wife's arm, but Rere's unexpected movement made the man unable to see properly as he tried to grab her. Dino grasped Rere's chest that made the woman scream hysterically.

"Aaaah...." Rere screamed as she hit the water violently. The seawater splashed in Dino's eyes.

Rere feels that she was harassed by Dino and begins to climb onto Dino's back then hits Dino's back and grabs his hair.

"Aaaaaaaa." Dino also shouted pitifully.

Rere put all her strength into hitting her husband. The man was rendered helpless. It's not that he can't fight back but he chooses to give in. Rere's emotions did not subside until Dino dragged her to the shore.

Rere was so annoyed as she threw sand into Dino's eyes, making the man's eyes sting.

"What are you doing, Re? You're so rude."

"You are the one at fault. If you hadn't groped me I wouldn't have acted like this."

"You can politely tell me, I'm still your husband!" Dino scolded Rere. His wife's actions were outrageous. Dino was not going to let her step on his pride as a man.

"Don't scold me!" Rere pushed Dino until the man fell against a coconut tree.

"I'm not scolding you," Dino replied in a deep voice.

"If you don't scold that what was that?" Rere said as she showed a sour face and covered her chest with both of her hands.

"You can talk to me nicely."

"I can not talk nicely with you. Why did you grope my breast?"

"I'm not groping your breast. It's a reflex, I'm trying to help you. You're the only one who started to move around so I accidentally grabbed your breast."

"Are you happy to touch me? How many times have I told you not to touch me!" Rere emphasized her voice.

"You don't make any sense, Rere. I'm your husband. It's normal for a husband to touch his wife."

"You're a coward!" Rere leaves Dino as she enters the resort. She entered the room and locked the door from the inside.

Dino knocked on the door but Rere didn't want to open it.

"Rere, open the door." Dino banged loudly on the door.

"I don't want to."

"We must talk."

"Whatever."

"Rere…"

"I don't want to. Please don't force me." Rere slumped down and leaned against the door.

Without them knowing. Dino was also sitting on the floor, leaning against the door. If only they knew how romantic they are right now.

"Re," Dino called his wife.

"What?"

"Don't be furious. You'll grow old sooner."

"Stop talking!"

"Do you want me to teach you another function of your lips?" Dino burst into laughter after saying that.

"Don't be perverted. You always break your own words. You broke our agreement."

"I never remember I made a promise to you. Sorry, if I'm not what you expected. I don't want to mess with our marriage. You are my wife and I want to make you the queen in my heart even though I don't love you, yet. Love comes from simple things. Did you know about Bara and Dila's love story? Their story is more tragic than ours. Bara used to be gay, but then he became normal because he has a wife like Dila. Now they are happy with their three children. Our story is not as tragic as theirs. The thing that happened in the morning after we slept together was just a misunderstanding. "

"Forget it. Don't talk about the past. I want to forget it."

"I thank you for what you did that night. I will always say it so the wound in your heart will heal. I want to heal your wound. I want to give it a try to our relationship, Re. Can't we put these emotions aside and try being a normal husband and wife?"

Rere didn't answer. Dino's words slapped her heart. She felt guilty but was too proud to admit it.

"Re, open the door. I'm cold after swimming in the sea. I will catch a cold if I wear wet clothes for too long. Have you changed your clothes?" Dino stopped his speech. "Or did you not wear anything back there? I'm also ready for that."

"Dino," Rere complained. She thought Dino imagined her naked body without clothes.

"Since we are married, it is better to call me by another nickname besides my name. You can call me honey, baby, hubby, dear, or maybe darling." Dino repeated his advice again.

"Oh, why are you so chatty as a husband?" Dino asked himself.

"Welcome to Indonesia. It's time for forced marriage. I don't want to get married but I was forced to. Now I'm forced to go on a honeymoon. Instead of being happy, it's just full of fight," said Rere singing in a moderate tone viral on the tik tok app.

"Your voice is good, Re," said Dino honestly.

Rere was still sullen, unaffected by her husband's praise.

Rere opened the door for Dino, unable to bear her husband getting cold. The cold air engulfed and hit her skin, makes Rere suddenly shivered.

"Thank you, dear," Dino said when Rere opened the door.

Rere only replied to her husband with a low hum. The woman opened the cupboard and took clothes and towels. She also threw a towel at Dino.

"I take a shower first, then you can take a shower." Rere put on a fierce face like a lion.

"Yes, dear."

"Don't peek." Ree gave a warning.

"Yes, dear. Why do I have to peek when I have seen everything."

"Stop talking." Rere was furious again.
