That was how this marriage happen. Mavis knows that her uncle don't want to worry her but still she wants to help. She sighed thinking what will happen to them in the future. Maybe she will thinks it again but for now she just want to enjoy a quiet life. Now that the company problem has been solve. Her full stomach really made she feels sleepy. She even didn't realized that she has dozed up.
"Vis… Mavis… Mavis Aberra!" Armin tried wake Mavis.
Mavis opened her eyes. Where is she? A sudden memory made she sit quickly and hit her head with Armin's chin.
"What are you doing?" he rubbed his chin try to alleviate the pain.
"Sorry?" Mavis saw Armin still rub his chin. "You're back."
"Yes, sorry I forgot to tell you I've got something in office."
"Nope, it's okay." She don't need Armin to explain. She knows sometimes Armin will get busy. And she prepared it. "Have you eaten?"
Armin nod and take sit beside her.
Mavis look at Armin. Armin wears t-shirt and jeans made him younger. Every time they meet Armin always wears his suit. It's quite different see Armin like this. Somehow she likes see Armin like this.
"I… " They talk at the same time. They look at each other.
"You first." Armin said.
Mavis shake her head. Actually she really don't know what to say. She casually said because she want to stop the silence between them. She feels not comfortable when they don't talk.
"I hope you'll like this home. And I know that our wedding will take 3 months… " He sigh he really can't tell her.
"I'm sorry but I have business plan outside of country almost 3 months. So… " Armin faced trouble want to explain but see Mavis face made he silence.
"I'll try to help before I go. Don't worry." Mavis looked at Armin. She really appreciate it when Armin said that. At least he don't leave everything to her. She don't want to force him more than enough.
"It's okay. I know you've been busy. And if I don't propose to you it will be never like this." Mavis simply replied.
"Do you have to be like this? Don't you ever feel angry? Usually when the grooms said they were busy the brides will angry. But you… " Armin don't want to continue his words. He afraid his words will made Mavis hurt. He believes that word was like a knife. He just stare Mavis face that looked down.
"What should I do? Should I stop your business meeting? I'm not a selfish person Mr Rivera." Mavis said loudly. Her face looks shock when realized that she has turn up her voice on him.
"I'm sorry." Mavis quickly apologized feeling shame. She really don't know why she yell at Armin without reasons. Maybe she just tired think about their future.
She don't know when she starts to feel that Armin just treat her as his sister or close friend. Not that she dislike it but their relationship was stop like that. They should go to next step but theirs just stop at the point. She knows the marriage was propose by her but when Armin treat her, she felt discouraged.
Mavis really want to do the best for this marriage that was her wish. Although their marriage not start from love but she still hope the best for both of them.
"It's okay. I think you're tired Mavis. Maybe you should rest. We will continue this when there's next time." Armin said and left Mavis. He wants to give some space to Mavis. His plan has been set. Just time will play with it.
Mavis look Armin left her. She sighed when she thinks what just happened. She slowly stand want to go to her room want to continue her rest.
----
Mavis start to unpack her belongings after she takes her rest. The room that she got was not so big but pleasant for her. She takes shower after she done with her belongings. She just want to lie on her bed when she heard knock from her door. She went to open it and see Armin in front the door.
"Dinner is ready." He said. He tried to look her room and realized that she has done unpack her things. "If you have any problem just tell me. Don't hide it."
Mavis just nod. She followed Armin to the dinner's room. She takes the opposite chair that Armin seat. They enjoy their dinner with silent don't have topic to talk.
Mavis just realized that both of them never spent their time together. Armin's schedule that always full made she realized that Armin never have time for her. Sometimes she wonder if Armin choose to do that. Her uncle always busy but he always spent his time with his family on weekend. Even if he's busy he should spent his time with her.
But when she thinks like that the marriage between them just contract marriage made she stops. If Armin don't want to get to know her maybe she can start it. She just hope that Armin didn't push her much.
"Armin do you free tomorrow?" Mavis look at Armin and hoped that his answer was good.
Armin stared at Mavis back. Actually starts to think about his schedule for tomorrow. "I think I don't have anything to do? Why?"
"Want to watch movie with me?"
Armin chuckled when heard that question. "Try to invite me to date? Okay." He agreed. He don't have reason to refuse it and he's free tomorrow. He never invite her to date before because he don't see why he should do it. But now fearing that she will realized something will be wrong if he just blatantly refused it.
They continue with their dinner as they never talk at the first place. They didn't even noticed that there's eyes that watching them.
Aunt Mira smiled looking at the two people. She likes to see there were still awkward moment between them. She knows the purpose of that. She just hope that Armin's plan didn't beat him back.
