Intro
I stopped the car at the entrance of the shantytown. The roads were narrow, and the houses were huddled together as if pushing each other away. The air was heavy, thick with the smell of grease and the dampness soaked into old concrete. A landscape typical of unmanaged places. The absence of human care means there is no one to take responsibility.
This was my first time in this neighborhood. And I thought I would never have a reason to return. I just need to get through today.
The address on the documents was accurate. A worn iron gate, a lock showing signs of being forced back together once. When I knocked, footsteps were heard after a brief silence. The door opened, and inside, she was looking up at me.
She wasn't much different from the photo. A small frame, delicate features, and a striking face. In contrast, her posture was excessively hunched. A form commonly seen in humans who have never been protected. I didn't greet her. I didn't say my name. There was no need.
I walked in without asking permission, and she quietly stepped aside. Her reaction suggested she already knew who the master of this space was. The inside of the house was even gloomier than expected. Light barely reached inside, and only the bare minimum of furniture remained. I turned my gaze away to avoid unnecessary emotions. I spoke while standing. There was no reason to sit. This is the debt your parents incurred.
Her shoulders stiffened slightly. I didn't wait for a reaction. The title has been transferred to your name, and the creditor is a loan shark. You have no ability to repay. And nowhere to run. Confirming the facts isn't kindness; it's a notification. I continued. I'll settle the debt for you. A short sentence. I didn't even pause for breath. In exchange, there is a condition. Marry me and have my child.
Her eyes turned toward me. Whether it was fear or resignation didn't matter. She might have thought it was cruel. But the world was always like this. Whether it's a loan shark or family, what they demand is ultimately similar. The only difference is that I don't hide it. Don't expect things like love or consideration. What you need is protection, and what I need is a clear relationship.
A moment of silence. The air in the house felt even heavier.
I looked at her and thought. This option isn't cruel. At least not compared to living in this neighborhood for the rest of your life. You don't have to answer right now.
However, the conclusion was already set. This girl doesn't have many options. And I was looking for exactly that kind of person.
A marriage without emotion. A relationship starting with a contract. That was enough for me.
