Seven

Trying not to blame herself more, Tama then glanced at Eshika's belongings at the door. Then he asked.

"You don't want to arrange your things?"

Eshika snapped out of her daydream. "Eh…, yes."

The girl stood up and immediately grabbed her things. However, because there were a lot of items, what happened was that the items fell down together. Tama cursed seeing him.

"You are!" he cursed. "Bring one at a time. Yes, I want to take it at once."

Eshika sneered. "This is my stuff. Why are you the maddened one?"

"This is my apartment. It's obvious that I'm annoyed when you harass the house where I live. It's been a ride, uh, a lot of behavior again."

Eshika was silent.

"Or do you want to change residence?" asked Tama mockingly. "Just go there if you want. At the very least, your Mom will drag you back here again."

While grunting in annoyance and not replying to Tama's taunts, Eshika pulled a travel bag and carried it into the guest room where she was going to stay. There was a noise from outside. When Eshika turned his head, Tama seemed to have brought in all of Eshika's belongings.

Tama slams a medium sized teddy bear onto the bed. "Why did you bring a doll here too?" asked Tom. "Like a child."

"I will do what I love, Tam. And this is my hobby."

"Children's hobby."

"Yes yes. A child's hobby." Eshika growled. "Already. You're out there. I want to clean up."

Tama pouted. His shoulders rose slightly. "Up to you. I also want to rest."

"Wait, Tam," called Eshika then.

Tama's steps stopped. "What?"

"There's no bathroom here?" he asked as he looked around the corner of the room. As far as his eyes could see, he couldn't find a single clue that indicated there was a bathroom door in his room.

Tama pointed out indifferently. "The private bathroom is only in my room, by the way," he said with innocent pretentious eyes. "You use the bathroom outside."

Eshika's eyes rolled around. While Tama just chuckled amused.

"Bye..."

Tama smiled mockingly at her as he exited the room. Leaving Eshika clenching her fists. Feeling the urge to beat up Tama for that grin. However, Eshika was still able to think. Instead of spending her energy beating Tama, she'd better use her strength to organize her things. Especially since all sentient beings also know that a girl's belongings are always plentiful. It would be more beneficial if the energy is used for more useful things.

Eshika looked at her room. Turning his body slowly as slowly studied each side.

The bedroom that Tama provided for him was quite spacious for the guest room category. There is a king-size bed in the middle of the room. One nightstand on which there is a bedroom lamp is located on the left side of the bed. There's a three-door wardrobe on the other side. One door had a long mirror, more than enough for Eshika to check her appearance every time she left. In addition, there is a dressing table and a study table.

After observing the details of the room, Eshika started to unpack her belongings one by one. The first is clothes.

Eshika immediately arranged her clothes into four large sections. The first part is the school uniform. She hung up several sets of her uniform and put them in the hanging cupboard. Then, she moved on to the second part of travel clothes and other formal events. She also hung several dresses, dresses and skirts neatly. Next is daily clothing which includes t-shirts, shirts, jeans, yoga pants, and so on. Some she hangs, some she folds neatly. Then, she put it in another cupboard. And finally there are some pajama sets and nightgowns.

Finished with clothes, Eshika went to her school equipment. Arrange notebooks and textbooks neatly on the study table. Then, she also arranged some make-up equipment on her dressing table. From moisturizers to colorful lipsticks that are currently being crazed by teenage girls her age.

It didn't take long to tidy up her things, but finally Eshika finished tidying up her new room. The soft nuanced room with cream colored wall paint seemed to exceed Eshika's expectations.

At least this room is comfortable, she thought, unlike the owner.

Eshika lay down on the bed. Staring at the ceiling and thinking about what her life would be like in the future. It was definitely not the wedding she wanted. Super flash wedding. Marriage with a guy who often bothered her since childhood. Marriage when she was in high school.

Eshika's eyes closed.

Hoping it's just a dream is useless. It's because the ring around her finger is still there from last night. After all, what dream have you been?

Eshika finally fell asleep. But, not long because about an hour later, Tama came into the room. He patted Eshika's cheek until the girl moaned.

"Esh..."

Eshika inched slightly. Keeping her cheek away from Tama's gentle pat. But, Tama returned to the cheek.

"Esh..."

Eshika moaned again. "What is it?"

"Wake up, Esh," Tama said then. "It's getting late. Aren't you hungry?"

Eshika's brow furrowed. As if she had just realized something, she then opened her eyes. Screamed and almost jumped out of bed.

Tama is dumbfounded. "What's wrong with you?"

"Why you?!" snapped Eshika. "Why did you come into my room?"

Tama sneered. His hand pointed to the open window. "Look! It's night. Aren't you hungry?"

Eshika looked at the sky outside which was slowly darkening. Turning again to Tama, he asked. "And then?"

"I'm hungry."

"Well, what does that have to do with me if you're hungry? Like I'm a restaurant clerk."

With an innocent look, Tama said. "You are my wife, by the way. It's your duty to prepare my meal."

"Eh?"

It feels like Eshika's eyeballs will fall out because of Tama's words that seem light.

"You didn't say anything wrong?"

Tama's index finger pointed at him. "You live in my apartment, don't you? Do you follow the rules here or leave?"

"You're threatening me?"

Tama shrugged her shoulders briefly. "No. But, you could say I profited from the suffering of being tied to you!"

"Eh!" snapped Eshika. "What do you think I want to do with you?"

"That's your business," said Tama. "None of my business."

Eshika snorted.

"The important thing," continued Tama. "Don't forget to have dinner tonight. Which is a lot. I'm really hungry." Tama intends to turn around, but doesn't. He said again while wagging his index finger and looking at Eshika with an amused glint in his eyes. "And don't tell me you can't cook. I know you can cook, Esh."

Eshika's mouth was tightly shut. Can't say anything else.

"If you want to shop, you can come down. There's a supermarket not far from here." Tama looks to take out her wallet. "One hundred thousand is not enough?"

Eshika's patience ran out. He grabbed a pillow and threw it at Tama who had come out of the room. Leaving a hundred thousand bills and the boy's laugh that crackled.

"Oh!"

Eshika ruffled her hair roughly. She exhaled loudly several times. Her face looks red from being annoyed at Tama.

"Argh!"

She growled.

"I'll definitely be going crazy in no time!"
