Her Unexpected Marriage (English) Unexpected 19: Project
I CAN'T GET OUT OF MY MIND the argument Zandy and I had last night. I still can't get rid of my annoyance and anger toward him."Miles, you seem too quiet?" I heard Melissa say that she was close to me. "Your article, oh, you're being talked to, you're not paying attention," she joked."Yes, I've seen you like that before. What happened? Did you and your handsome husband fight?" asked Andrea who moved the swivel chair closer to me.I looked at them seriously. "No, I just thought of something," I reasoned. "Alright, go back to your work," I shooed them away, then faced my monitor again."Do you want to drink again later?" Melissa offers.I faced her and frowned. I will not drink again because I only remember what happened that night. Maybe the next time I get drunk, more than a kiss will happen. "No thanks, Melissa I'm busy. I have many articles to finish," I reasoned."Ok, fine," Melissa agreed and moved her swivel chair towards the opposite of her monitor.I have tried several times

"You're TOO quiet, Miles," Melissa snapped at me as we walked down the hallway of the department. Melissa, Andrea and Chad and I went out together while Shai was left behind."By the way, Miles, why did Sir Troy call you?" Andrea was curious."Did his ears get wet again from your messy articles?" Chad asked, laughing when he remembered what happened before when I was almost deafened by Sir Troy's anger because of the chaotic construction of my articles that even surpassed the construction of a high school journalist. That was the time when the wound that Roven did to me was still fresh.I turned to them and frowned. "He gave me a new project," I admitted. "I hate this project and if I can pass it on to others, I will," I said sadly.The three looked at my reaction. "Oh? What's the problem with the new project? Why does your problem seem so heavy? Well, it's just a project. And besides, it's been a while since your last project, right?" Andrea said in surprise."Let me guess, it's beca

I STILL couldn't get the words Aunt Mandy told me about Zandy out of my head until the car stopped in front of a big house. It boggles my mind with my current acquaintance with Zandy. Aunt Mandy says he's an introvert but why does he treat me like that?I don't even know if I can believe that his girlfriend left Zandy for another man. Or maybe that's what made him gay, because of his intense disappointment in women. What has been running through my mind about Zandy and why am I thinking about that man? I'm mad at him!I got out of the car followed by Aunt Mandy and a big house was revealed to me. My eyes almost watered when I saw Zandy's house. The surroundings were very bright because of the light scattered outside. The gate we entered earlier was so high that I only saw it now. The whole house is cream in a color that I can almost look up from its height."Let's go, Miles," said Aunt Mandy. She walked first and I followed. I couldn't help but be amazed by that house. It has a unique

There was a deafening silence inside Zandy's car. He had no choice but to drive me home because I left my car at the office due to Aunt Mandy's sudden invitation.Zandy suddenly changed after dinner. He is very quiet and I am not used to him being like this. I was more curious about what was on his mind and his true personality. Like me, I know that he also has grievances in life and I want to know that for reasons I don't know."Do you think that our marriage will end?" I broke into the deafening silence that prevailed. I don't understand why I want to start a conversation with him. "I mean, if we keep on treating each other like this, do you think they will let go of us that easily?" I said to the broader question while folding my arms. I was in the passenger seat because this is where I chose to sit. After all, I was next to him, especially because I knew he was angry.I did not immediately get an answer from him. He was still driving the car quietly. I tried to look at his face in

I SAW the sadness on Mom and Dad's faces as they looked at me, carrying the suitcase containing my things and the backpack hanging on my back. This is the day we will move into the house that the Zaavedras bought for Zandy and me. Even though my heart is heavy, there is nothing I can do.They turned to Zandy who showed sadness. "Zandy, please take care of our daughter, ok? This would be the first time that Miles will be away from us and she is not used to us not being there to take care of her," Mom began with a hint of longing in her voice.Zandy was already here to pick me up and I know he is just forced to do what he has to do. The strange emotion was still there on his face. I also don't often see a smile on his lips, and if it does appear, it's filled with sadness.I frowned. "'Mom, I'm not a kid anymore, I can take care of myself," I immediately protested."We are just sad that you have to leave us, but there is nothing we can do because you have your own family now. It's time f

I DON'T know why the wind suddenly changed. It seems like only a while ago that Zandy hardly objected to everything our parents wanted, then suddenly he wanted to disappoint them. What is on his mind? I'm just more curious about what he wants to happen to us. It seems that the Zandy I'm with has suddenly changed or maybe he's tired of our repeated arguments and his teasing me. Maybe he was fed up and tired of scolding me.The car stopped in front of a greenhouse with large trees outside the fence that provided shade to the wide yard of the house. That is very environmentally friendly. I also feel the fresh air embracing me."Aren't you planning to come down?"I blinked when I heard Zandy's voice. I turned to him who was standing in front of the driver's seat door. His face was serious. I didn't say a word. I took my backpack and got out of the car. I went to the back of the car to get my things from there."I'll handle this, Miles," Zandy said coldly as I opened the compartment of his

I did not think Zandy knew how to cook so I was surprised when I saw him in front of the stove cooking a fragrant dish that made my stomach growl even more."Just wait for the food on the table," he said, busy cooking.I didn't move immediately. I just looked at him while he was mixing what he was cooking. I immediately smelled the delicious fragrance. It looks like expensive food in a restaurant because of its smell.If I look at Zandy, he looks like a man and is not mistaken for gay and if I didn't know him, I might have been attracted to him especially since he knows how to cook."Why didn't you wake me up? Do you think I don't know how to cook? I know how to cook too, Zandy," I said even though I wasn't exposed to the kitchen to cook."I want you to take a rest," he answered simply. I saw that he had turned off the stove and put the dish on a plate. "Will you just stand there, Miles? Help me to prepare the food," he turned to me gruffly with a serious face.I frowned because of wh

I DON'T know but why did I feel so disappointed when I didn't see Zandy outside the office? It's like I'm looking for him there or maybe I'm just not used to not having Zandy teasing me.I sighed and closed my eyes slightly. Why am I thinking about Zandy? I don't have to think about him anymore. It's better that he's not there to tease me and remind me of my past."Oh? Your husband won't pick you up?" Shai asked as she turned to me."I have my car, Shai, so he doesn't have to pick me up. And besides, he's busy," I reasoned, then smiled even though I knew it didn't reach my ears."Why? Are you looking for your husband, Miles?" Andrea asked meaningfully."Of course not, Andrea, I can go home alone. I've been going home alone since my first day of working here. I'm used to it," I insisted.Andrea just shrugged her shoulders but she looked at me meaningfully. I wasn't looking for Zandy, I was just surprised that he wasn't there."Why are you afraid to be alone? You're a big man. Are you g

Her Unexpected Marriage (English) Unexpected 71: Attitude
This morning, I went to work early because of the pile of work. I was also thinking about how I would do my work with Beverly. The deadline for that is near but until now I still don't know how to interview her."Oh? Looks like you came early, Miles?" Chad commented when I met him there with some of our colleagues in the department while I couldn't see Melissa and Andrea who probably arrived later."I have a lot of work to do, Chad, so I have to come in early," I answered, then placed my bag and some of my things on my table.I turned on the monitor in front of me. Chad didn't say a word either. I started typing to start the articles that have been in my file for a long time. I had only said a few words when I heard Shai's voice."Miles, you have to go to Sir Troy's office," she said to me seriously. I faced Shai asking. "If you ask me why, I don't know," she smiled as if she could read my mind. "Just go there."I just frowned and was left thinking. Sir Troy always calls me. I am not
Her Unexpected Marriage (English) Unexpected 70: Talk
"THANK YOU, Ton for coming," I said seriously when he arrived at the restaurant where we would meet. I took his number from Zandy and called him to talk about the restaurant that he and Zandy will build.Like I said to Zandy, I want to help him in whatever way I can. I don't know what I can do to help either, but I will try to make his long-time dream come true and I want to be with him in that success.Ton smiled at me, then sat down in the opposite seat from where I was sitting. "I didn't expect you to call me, Miles. So, what are we going to talk about?" Ton asked directly. "It's probably not about your relationship with Zandy, is it?" He laughed and bowed for a moment.I suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed because of Ton's last words. I was ashamed because I thought about Ton and Zandy such things. Zandy didn't explain either.I awkwardly smiled and looked at Ton shyly. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Ton if I thought badly of you." I avoided looking at him because of the shame I felt.
Her Unexpected Marriage (English) Unexpected 69: Hot night
Zandy immediately pulled me closer to him when we got to his room. It seems that he was missing me so much because when we got out of the car, he immediately grabbed my arm and pulled me towards his room. I just hung on because I knew that I wanted the same thing to happen."What the hell, Zandy?" I was still weak when he kissed my neck. "I'm tickled," I said. I felt the hair on the back of my neck stand up because of what he did."What did you say? Zandy? Didn't I tell you that if you call me Zandy, I'll kiss you," he said when he stopped kissing my neck. "Call me Honey, anywhere and anytime, ok?""Ok, fine, I'm sorry," I said laughing."And as a punishment. I'll kiss you 'till the night ends," he threatened as his eyes seemed to sparkle. He pulled me even closer and I could feel his arm around my waist."That's the punishment I want from you, Honey," I said. I raised my arms and wrapped them around his neck as I looked up at him. I simply smiled. "I'm willing to take the punishment
Her Unexpected Marriage (English) Unexpected 68: Excitement
"WHAT'S the plan, Miles? Next week would be your birthday, right?" Andrea said excitedly as we left the building. We just finished our work and we are all stressed from the amount of work. I want to rest my brain because I've used it all day.My eyes narrowed but my mouth parted and eventually smiled as I shook my head. I remembered that it's my birthday next week and that will be my thirtieth year in the world and just like they expected, the curse will be broken because I'm married."I forgot, Andrea," I confessed. "With so much happening, being so busy at work, I forgot that my birthday is next week," I said sadly."You're just distracted, Miles. Is that because of Beverly?" Melissa was curious. Just this morning, they bombarded me with a lot of questions about Zandy and me and Beverly's return. I didn't have a choice and because they were my friends, I admitted my real relationship with Zandy and about Beverly. Well, I'm not surprised by their reaction. I was almost deaf to their
Her Unexpected Marriage (English) Unexpected 67: Kiss
67This morning, I woke up early for an unknown reason. The sun was barely rising but my eyes were wide open. I stretched as I yawned. I looked at the ceiling for a moment and couldn't help but smile when I remembered what Zandy said to Beverly the other day.My heart overflowed with joy and happiness because Zandy just proved that he would choose me even though Beverly was in front of him. Because of that, I'm sure of Zandy's feelings for me and I feel the same way. I have no more reason to doubt him and distrust him.I hugged the pillow tightly and screamed because of the thrill I feel every time I remember what Zandy said. That stuck in my mind and I will never forget it and I hope Beverly understands that.A few more moments, I decided to get up from my bed. I left the room. I was about to step down when I noticed Zandy standing on the terrace with his arm focused on the steel that acts as a terrace barrier. I frowned. I saw outside that it was still a little dark and the light wa
Her Unexpected Marriage (English) Unexpected 66: Visitor
AFTER I got home from work, I immediately went up to the top of the house but I immediately stopped when I saw Zandy on the terrace looking seriously at the wide sky, obviously thinking deeply. I snorted and tilted my head slightly. I want to approach him and talk to him because I know he is thinking about what Uncle Andrew said to him this morning. He was speechless even before I went to work.I decided to change my clothes before I approached Zandy. I changed into a pajama suit and a t-shirt before leaving my room and approaching Zandy.I stopped for a moment and looked at his broad back. He didn't notice me because maybe he was deep in thought. I mustered up my courage and put aside my shyness. I approached him and slowly brought my hand closer until I could hug him from his back. I immediately smelled his sweet scent that I always wanted to smell.I felt his shock because of his slight flinch but he let me do what I was doing."You look so stressed, Honey," I said sadly. "You didn

I wasn't surprised when I woke up with a smile on my face. How light I feel and the surroundings. I stretched with a sweet smile on my lips, then excitedly hugged the pillow and rolled on the soft bed. Even in my dreams, the memory of Zandy never left me.I still can't get over what Zandy did and said to me last night to make Roven look like he already owns me. That keeps coming back to my mind and every time I think about it, I can't help but smile and thrill. Will I still doubt him when Zandy has proven that he deserves to be believed and trusted? But until now, I also think about Roven's situation but I know it is the best for both of us.I stared at the ceiling for a few more minutes. I was going crazy that even on the ceiling I could see Zandy's handsome face looking at me and smiling. My lips just smiled with excitement.There is no doubt that I feel for Zandy. I know I love him and I admit that to myself. I am ready to face the consequences.A few more moments, I blinked. I got
Her Unexpected Marriage (English) Special Chapter 9
Zandy's POVI still can't avoid arguing with my parents about what they want me to do and what I want to do for myself. They are forcing me to work in a company where I know I am not meant for it. But because I'm an only child, I know I will come to a point where I have to enter the company but this time, I want to do what I want for myself first before I spend myself in the company and that's what they don't understand.But because of dad's decision, I can't do anything anymore. When the five months he gave me are up, I have to enter the company and put aside the restaurant first.The other day, mom and I argued again when she came to our house with Miles. I couldn't avoid not answering to defend my dream for myself which for them is meaningless but to me, it is very important because that makes me happy.I sighed while sitting on the sofa and holding my cellphone while playing with it. I don't know if I can build the restaurant in five months. Even with everything planned out, it's

"You know, Melissa, if you have feelings for someone, don't hide it. You too might be taken away," Andrea continued, teasing Melissa that perhaps Andrea was referring to Melissa's alleged feelings for Chad. Melissa's face couldn't be painted and her cheeks were red from embarrassment while Chad was silent.We are currently walking out of the building. It's past nine o'clock in the evening because we have just finished the articles that are close to the deadline.I smiled but then, I thought about what Melissa said that seemed to hit me too even though that was not her intention."Andrea, stop me! I'm going to charge you for what you ate earlier. He said I don't like Chad, ok? W-we're just friends, that's it," Melissa returned to Andrea with an obviously embarrassed face."Ouch! That hurts Melissa, you didn't even wait for me to leave before you said you didn't love me," Chad snapped. He closed his eyes and felt his chest as if it was painful. But it cannot be hidden from me that Chad
