Argus arrives at the office after returning from meeting July. Someone has been waiting for his arrival there even without making an appointment first. With the authority and influence of her family status, Minerva again acts as she pleases by breaking into the Argus’s office. Though their status is divorced, so is what people around think about their relationship. But if Minerva kept looking for him, coming into an office like this on personal business, what would people think of them. That's why one of the reasons Argus hasn't been able to expose his relationship with July all this time.

“Where did you just show up now? You know how long I've been waiting for you here!”

“No one asked you to come or wait for, Minerva.” And now that she's mad at Argus, anyone who sees her act will find her funny or ridiculous. “I've already told you. Stop looking for me in the office for no reason and not for our personal business.”

“Would you be willing to meet with me outside on our personal busi

    The day goes on, July's life returns to normal as if there had never been a storm on her life path. Yes, life does have to go on, and July tries to survive. Like everyone else does, hang in there. One change in her life now is that Alastor's presence fills her days. Always a lot of new things and sides that July knows from the guy after always seeing him. Like since this morning Alastor has been busy in the kitchen preparing their breakfast. During this time the cleanest part in July's apartment is the kitchen that she almost never uses and now it feels strange to see the figure of someone standing there serving something. July came to the table. Even though July's routine is usually after she finishes taking a shower, she will get ready and go straight to work. “You don't have to bother doing this though." July also previously refused when Alastor said he would prepare breakfast for her. “It's okay. I'm used to doing this, so I just have to make one more extra serving for you.”

  • Blind Wedding   Chapter 22 - Secret Relationship

    July can not constantly avoid Argus, because the legal team of July's company work is handled by Argus law firm. Because it is also July and Argus used to meet at the company for their work matters. But what July can't accept is his impulsive attitude and treatment of approaching July without looking at the place and situation. Maybe she can still let it go because they've been working together for a long time and the people at the company know that July and Argus know each other and are close friends. But things have changed, now July is already married. She doesn't want others to misunderstand their relationship or don't want to be seen as the two of them which can lead to rumors. Meeting just the two of her with Argus after the company meeting ends like this is not July's will. Argus ambushes her as the meeting ends, holding her off from staying together to talk. July is shocked and almost screams, but realizes her hysterical reaction could draw the attention of others. Gather pe

    Alastor did plan to tell what was happening in his company. The arrival of Argus to the company and what he talked about with the chairman, Alastor wanted to convey all that in July. When he asks July to talk, July says that she also has something to say too. That night they spent time in the apartment undisturbed so that the two could honestly exchange ideas. Alastor starts first. "Argus came to my company to meet and look for me." From the manner in which the president told Alastor, Argus seems to have come prepared for a fight. He wants to kill with anger. And Alastor could guess what was the reason the man was so passionate as to look for him. First, it must be because Alastor accepted July's offer to carry out this marriage contract. Alastor is a former hired man that Argus paid for, and now instead stabs his former client in the back. And maybe the second reason that Alastor lives with July under one roof. July was not surprised. “I knew he would do that. And I think Argus a

  • Blind Wedding   Chapter 24 - Family Picnic

    Alastor realizes he can't see July the same way anymore. Now something feels different every time he looks at July's face. In every act that she did in the capture of his eyes seemed to attract Alastor's attention. Don't look back on July, it's never been better. And that's the reason why July often catches Alastor's dreamy, blank stare while together. Because his mind is dominated by imagining other things, to act like a fool in front of July. Like this morning. Alastor nearly sets fire to July's kitchen for leaving the bread in the pan scorched until it billows with smoke. His concentration is scattered to find July who has just come out of her bedroom wearing pajamas that are too sensual. But no, actually Alastor misunderstood. What July wore was not sleeping pajamas but lingirie which she used to wear under her formal work clothes. Last night July immediately fell asleep without changing into casual clothes after talking to Alastor. Maybe for all women that kind of underwear is n

  • Blind Wedding   Chapter 26 - Behind The Story

    July sat on her bed, confused and surprised to see Alastor with a serious face asked her to leave like that. She is really worried about him, and feels guilty that Alastor became like that because of her. The words Alastor spoke rang in July's head, teasing her. It was because of Alastor's condition, who was sick, that he said sloppily. July is confused to catch Alastor's speech and must interpret it in how. “What I don't understand about?" Wailing’s July. Because Alastor says it's hard to make her understand. “Is it about the events of that night and the limits?" July recalls the night they talked about strategies for appearing as a loving couple in front of Argus. That night July asks Alastor to keep a limit when making physical contact. Yes, July knew what Alastor meant and maybe she also had a hunch about the reason why he was acting that way towards her.

  • Blind Wedding   Chapter 61 - End of Fake Relationship

    Whether this was an opportunity or a test, Joe could no longer tell which action was right in this situation. All he knows is that he wants to be with her under any circumstances. So his decision to accept July's request was not because he was on her side but so that he could stay by the side of his beloved woman. "Are you really going to stop this? He's leaving after your deal ends?" It's hard for Joe to trust July anymore. "Why would I lie about this matter to you after all you know the truth." July felt helpless. "Nothing happened between you? Is it true that only by agreement, you and the man are living a fake relationship?" "I'm telling the truth." July wants to cry already but she snaps it away. The same case for Joe actually. He tries to look strong till the end, at least in front of July right now. "I will keep your secret from Auntie and Uncle. When the time comes, you'll have to end all of this bullshit according to the agreement, July." "Really! you gonna do it for me,

    Alastor petrified on the spot. The current state of affairs is strangely disorienting. He was supposed to be the one standing in front to protect July but what happened this time he was at a loss for words, unable to explain himself let alone defend or protect. At that moment, his confidence was gone in front of her family. With his status in the agreement on paper, Alastor is nothing, nobody who has the rights as Joe accuses him of. “You! Who the hell are you?" Joe was so intent on intimidating Alastor who had a pale face and a blank look in eyes. The man stood still though his shoulder was pushed hard, rudely by Joe but remained unmoved, silent. July couldn't stand to be there anymore, let alone see Alastor who turned helpless. Just as a guilty defendant is sentenced after a trial, unable to do anything. July pulls her cousin away from there. Right now the most important thing to do for Alastor is to calm Joe down, reassure him. "July! I'm not done talking to him! Hey—” “No, Jo

    The party is over, the fun is over. July and the group must return to their busy daily routines, to their respective homes. “Kate, let Joe take you."

He has not yet given an answer about Kate's invitation to meet. “Why? Let Joe take you home." "No, it's okay.” When Kate insists on refusing, it feels strange that July keeps forcing her. While Joe kept his mouth shut, didn't seem to care. July thought things could go smoothly for both of them when July left them last night. Joe left the two friends, not going upstairs but somewhere. Meanwhile Alastor had gone away earlier, going upstairs with all their luggage. Kate waited for her taxi to arrive. “You two, really, what happened last night?" "There was nothing, July, really nothing happened.” “So?” “Our talks just didn't go smoot

My parents must have taken this baby as soon as born.” “Since I told you, I will take legal action.” He is firm on his stance. “Do you really think you can win against them?” “As long as you agree with me, help me, then there is still a way.” Perhaps Minerva's big family wil

Thank God..” “You came earlier than I thought!" July exclaimed, surprised. “Ah, that's why you really look like you just woke up July.” Kate teased

But Kate's circus speech reminds Joe back to himself who was determined to throw everything for the sake of being with July as family. Joe looked at her angrily. "If you get bored and play with me this way, think my situation is funny to you—“ Kate couldn't have been more receptive to Joe's treatment. “Why are you so tense and anxious? Ever since we met, your prickly attitude bothered me first.” Joe was at a loss for words to reply to Kate's remark. It was then that he realized what Kate was trying to point out about his own mistakes. Kate didn't stop there. “I should have asked. Are you like this because you're still bothered by—“ “No. Not at all." Joe hurriedly cut the word. His mind was filled with a burden that he could not share even with July.
