It's a little funny, when other people tell the beginning of the story that underlies a novel, I'm at the end. This story was inspired by a spectacle, when there was a contract marriage! But it's not the same as just being inspired, that's why I did a lot of research in this book, the place of the incident, New Zealand, the names of the cities, the views of the tourist attractions, all original and existing, as well as Bali! Everything is there! I did all the research on culture. The content is a deepening of the Author's thoughts. It may not be perfect...but I hope you like it. Love you All
A few months later.Eve wore a very beautiful wedding dress where the top was a skin-coloured brocade as if Eve was not wearing anything because it resembled her skin color as the flower motif was like a tattoo on Eve's skin alone. Eve's top and dress were jeweled with a flowing gown with very long tails. Eve also wore a head covering only on the back of her hair with light blue coloured gems.Eve was held by Allan's grandfather in place of her parents and walked slowly towards Allan who was waiting at the podium in his white tuxedo. All eyes were on them as if they were afraid of missing this precious moment.After returning from Bali they went straight back to formalizing their marriage, and exactly a few months later they celebrated their current marriage in private at their newest hotel Bali Sensation in the Bali area at one of Allan's hotels on one of the Nusa Penida islands in his hotel's very luxurious and magnificent ballroom.Eve had actually refused, but both Allan and Allan
It was like being struck by lightning in the middle of the day when Eve heard the news. The sky darkened."NO!!!" Eve screamed and fell to her knees, her mobile phone slipping out of her hand. She cried out. It startled the whole house, including her sister, Adeline. They looked at Eve with confused looks."Hey! What's wrong Eve? What happened?" asked Adeline, her sister.Eve stammered. "Mum, Dad...""What's wrong with them? Didn't they just go to Paris? Have they arrived yet?" Adeline looked at her, confused.Eve shook her head and continued to cry while covering her face. Eve couldn't take it; oh my God."Switch on the TV," Eve said softly.Her sister Adeline looked at her with confusion. "TV? What does this have to do with TV? You are so weird!""I said, you switch on the TV! Don't ask too many questions!" Eve said, starting to get annoyed. Eve began to lose control of herself."Ok! Ok! But don't get angry like that! I'm just asking. What exactly is wrong with you, Heh?" Adeline rai
Tired of crying until her eyes were swollen, Eve decided she had to be strong and get out of there before Uncle and Aunty did anything terrible to them.She must not cry or be weak.Everything happened so suddenly that their lives changed, and Eve had to be stronger and less whiny, at least in front of her sister. She was the only family she had at the moment.Eve continued to convince her heart, "I guess I'll have to find a job! I didn't even have a chance to pick up my cards earlier! We have to survive! Yeah, right!" Eve kept saying to herself until she heard her little sister complaining."Eve! How long are we going to keep going? Look! My legs are all sore and starting to blister!" she complained and showed her legs starting to turn red and the back of her legs that were slightly injured."Does it hurt that much? You wait a minute!" Eve ran to a convenience store that came into view after we walked about 800 meters from our house."Sit down, change your shoes with these slippers to
The sun appeared to publish its light; Eve began to wake up. Eve stretched the muscles of her body that felt sore and stiff all over.Eve tried to wake up her sister, Adeline. "Al, wake up! Al, we have to go now!They walked to the city centre, where they walked to a park and found a toilet to freshen up and change clothes.Before looking for work, Eve asked Adeline to wait in a park near a row of office centres and shops.Eve bought her breakfast and a drink of water and gave her a few dollars to keep watch. Eve asked her to wait until she came after getting a job.Only then would Eve figure out how to find a place to live. She should sell her favourite watch this time; it was the only precious thing she had left.It was noon, but Eve hadn't found a job yet and needed clarification. She was sweating from looking for a job all morning, and her legs started hurting from exhaustion.Finally, on the corner, Eve saw a cafe. She walked there to buy a piece of bread and hot chocolate to feed
"Liver Cancer? No way! Tell me it's all a lie, Doc! You might be wrong, Doc! It's definitely not true! My sister is just tired!" Eve shouted as she grabbed the Doctor by the collar.Exhausted, Eve finally broke down and collapsed on the cold hospital floor as she cried.Just as she felt a little happy for accepting work today, she thought things would be better after getting a job.Damian helped Eve finalize everything, including Adeline's payment.Damian was still with Eve, who was waiting for her sister to wake up. He couldn't bear to leave her.Eve didn't say much, preferring to stay quiet and lost in her thoughts.Eve looked at Damian, who seemed tired; she didn't want to impose her will on the Boss to stand by her side."Sir, isn't it better for you to go home? I can wait for my sister here. I know you are tired. I thank you for your help. I don't know what would have happened to both of us if you hadn't helped us. I promise to return the money you spent to pay for my sister's tre
Eve began to wriggle out of her short sleep. Since she had been thinking about it last night, she would try to ask her lover for help even though her messages and phone were not answered all night, and Eve thought that Robert was busy.He intended to go to the college today. Not going to study as usual, she decided to continue her studies when she had enough money. She was going to meet Robert at the college!Saying goodbye to Adeline, Eve travelled by public transport to the campus.She had done it for the first time and might have to get used to it from now on.When she arrived at the gate of her campus, she felt something strange. Everyone who knew her began to avoid her; some stayed away, some pretended to be indifferent, but more looked at her with a look of pity in their eyes."What's going on? What's going on? What are all those eyes looking at me for? Am I smelly and dirty?" she smelled the scent of her body. No odour! And not dirty either, because she had showered and changed
Eve looked down at her body, there was nothing missing either. So she wasn't hurt? She's still alive? But just now, wasn't there a car passing by? And Then, what happened?Eve turned her head towards a fairly luxurious car, looking at it sadly. She was afraid, afraid that the car would be damaged due to her lack of caution earlier. "What if this car is damaged or scuffed, due to being hit by me, maybe? Then I'll have to pay for the car's repairs? What about this? I don't have the money to pay for it! What if the owner gets angry and complains to the police, and I'm arrested and imprisoned, what will happen to Adeline? My God, what kind of ordeal is this? Why does bad luck always accompany my steps? Help me, O God!" Eve whispered worriedly in her heart as she bent down to look at the car, to find the damage."Hey! What are you doing? You want to die, huh?" said a beautiful girl dressed in a rather sexy outfit coming out of the car while ruffling her waist.Eve didn't listen to her, she
Eve blinked her eyes in disbelief at what she had just heard, an old friend offering to help. Maira wanted to help her? She could hardly believe it. In the midst of her confusion about all the problems that were choking her that made her chest hurt, Maira's help was like an oasis in the desert. Her burden seemed to be lifted from her shoulders. And she didn't expect it to come from a friend she hadn't even seen in a long time. Eve felt very grateful to God for helping her by sending Maira to her. "Really?" Eve took her best friend's hand and started kissing it "Thank you, Mai! I promise to return it to you as soon as possible! I promise!" she continued kissing the back of her hand with emotion. Eve even stood up to hug her little friend. "Never mind! Remember! Later tonight! I'll introduce you to someone who will help you! He's a close friend of mine! You can rest easy! Some of my funds are used with him for business so, well...we have to get his approval too! But don't worry, he'll

Eve frantically went back downstairs and scattered towards Allan, Allan's leg was injured, it seemed he forced himself to climb the stairs above him and slipped.Eve held him up while sobbing, "Oh my God! Allan! Why didn't you tell me? That...that...ah, how stupid of me! Of course your leg still hurts! There's no way you can heal that fast, right?"Allan felt that he was now playing with Eve's feelings, but he disappeared for no reason.After arriving upstairs, Eve sat Allan down on a chaise lounge near the pool."Let me see your wound!" Allan dismissed Eve's hand that was about to look at his leg, "No Eve, I'm fine! It's just a blister!" "Why, let me check!" Eve didn't care, but when she pulled up Allan's material trousers, precisely on her right leg Eve cried. Allan's wounds still left very visible marks. Eve sobbed."Your wound...I'm sorry Allan! I didn't know! I didn't know..." Eve shook her head while looking down.Allan took Eve's face and looked at her, Allan wiped her tears,
Two Years LaterEve was very beautiful today with her hair in a bun and a flower on her left side making her look like an angel. Eve was wearing her favorite color light blue with the same underwear and an organdy-like material with flowers embroidered on the outside.Eve smiled and waved to Narti that she wanted to walk along the beach to avoid the crowd. She hasn't liked crowds, actually, since two years ago. Since...But today is the happy day of her best friend, Narti and Tom. Yep, today is Narti's wedding day and Eve is the bridesmaid. Eve originally refused to attend, but Narti is her only friend. Narti has helped her through everything. From their growing company, to accompanying Eve with her loneliness. Including when... Allan left her. "Puff!" Eve let out her breath remembering what happened two years ago.After Allan regained consciousness Allan found out that his right leg could not be moved and Allan was declared paralyzed. Allan couldn't accept it, he always looked gloo
One Year LaterIt was like any other day when Eve would walk into the ward of her husband, Allan Watson. Eve never got tired of visiting him every day and it had been one year. Allan had never regained consciousness after surgery on his leg and skull which turned out to have deep wounds, resulting in trauma.Allan was in a coma.Eve still remembers what the doctor who treated Allan said a few days after the surgery, "It is with great regret that we have to inform you that Mr Allan Watson is most likely in a coma and...has paralysis in his right leg. I'm sorry, but we tried...but..." Eve covered her mouth at that moment and screamed."Allannnn!!!" Eve took a deep breath. If Eve keeps remembering that.But Eve doesn't care! Eve continued to wait. Eve never got tired of spending most of her day here. Waiting for her husband and telling him about her busy day even though Allan never responded. Eve would return after dropping off or picking up Aleena who had started back to school. After
Eve frantically and continuously sobbed while holding Allan's bloody hands, his injured face, and the worst was Allan's leg that was torn almost to the groin. Eve continued to join the small run following and pushing the gurney with her free hand that carried Allan to the operating room with several nurses and a doctor with them while running around."Hang on, Allan! Please...not like this! Don't leave me and Aleena! Please..." she continued to speak beside Allan and continued to sob. Her vision was now blurred by the tears that kept flowing.Meanwhile, Aleena was crying very loudly in the arms of Narti, Eve's best friend who kept struggling to be put down but was still held by Narti. Narti was saddened and even crying seeing the condition of her best friend and their daughter. Besides Narti, Tom and Bert were also there to accompany them.When they arrived at the door of the operating room, a doctor held Eve and said."Sorry, Madam. You can't come in! Let us take care of your husband
Maira looked at their departure with relief and then approached Robert, "Aren't you okay, Robert?" Robert tried to get up as Maira carried him into the restaurant. "Please...take my mobile phone from the right side of my trouser pocket Maira! Please call...my uncle!" Robert cried softly.Maira took Robert's mobile phone and searched for a contact name, fortunately Robert had named his uncle Allan Watson. Once connected, Maira put the phone on speaker.Robert grinned at his uncle's response which was always sarcastic to him."Uncle! Come quickly! Help me...I mean...help Eve! Eve needs help! Someone's after her! Hurry! I'm on the Johnsonville road..." Robert's speech was cut off.Tut!"Robert!" Robert suddenly fainted.Flashback Off*****Allan, who got a call from Robert, took his car keys back which had been placed on the living room table.Allan was about to run but was held back by Jordan's grandfather."What's wrong?" he said."I have to save Eve, Grandpa! Robert said someone is
Eve hurriedly approached her daughter who was being carried by a cook. And then took over carrying him."Sorry, she was playing to get into the kitchen, but unfortunately she slipped. That's why she fell down! Sorry, we were too busy to notice this little girl appearing, otherwise...maybe I would have helped her sooner!" exclaimed a cook who was still wearing an apron."No! It's not your fault! It's my fault, I should have looked after her! I'm sorry! And thank you!" exclaimed Eve."No problem Mistress! Then I'll go back to the kitchen!" she exclaimed."Thank you again!" exclaimed Eve, the cook just smiled."Are you hurt, dear?" said Eve, looking at Aleena. "Why did you leave without telling Mummy first?""My knee hurts, Mummy! Sorry! I was just curious to see what was in there!" Aleena looked down."No problem, but next time tell me first?" Eve said and Aleena just nodded. "Oh my! You hurt your knee a little! Wait a minute! Mummy brought a band-aid! I think it's in the bag!" Eve stru
Someone approached the two slowly. Eve bolted up as did her best friend Maira."Robert? Why are you here?" asked Eve, looking confused."He didn't go with you, Eve?" asked Maira looking at Eve. Eve, who was stared at by Maira, quickly shook her head as she spoke, "No! It was just the two of us here! Did you follow us, Robert? Did Allan tell you to follow us, did he?" Robert looked at Eve, "Sorry Eve I followed you here by accident, I was passing by my Uncle's house and...then I saw you sneaking out of a convenience store! I thought your behavior was very suspicious, so I followed you! Turns out...you met Maira!""Oh...I thought..." Eve reluctantly continued her speech."Sorry Maira, Eve I overheard your conversation! Because I was curious why Eve had to hide, I thought she was meeting someone! It turned out to be you Maira! But I didn't expect you to go this far Maira! I thought you were...a good girl! I remember you guys were always together, weren't you at school? I wonder why you
Eve, who heard Maira's words from her own mouth, was so surprised that she even stood up from her seat. She had heard this at Damian's house. But Eve never expected that this reason that made Maira hate her was something that Eve did not understand."You're making this up! My father, I mean our family never threw your mother and you out, Maira! It was your mother who chose to leave our home secretly! But not for the reasons you mentioned! You're wrong!" Eve shook her head with a sad look."You can't insult my mum Eve! She herself told it to me out of shame! She's the talk of the town! And...I...I had the whole school laughing at me! I tried to hold it in so my mum wouldn't be sad, but she found out eventually and was very sad! When she found out she decided we should leave your house! My mum has been sickly ever since! Which then...then...she died in deep heartache! It was all because of you! You and your father! You were the ones who spread that cheap gossip in my school and to the pe
