Since the incident a few days ago, Alea had become more comfortable around Eros. For her, Eros was no longer like a stranger and more like a friend, even though they still agreed to marry. Now Eros was driving his car to the man's parents' house, actually Alea was feeling very nervous. She wasn't good at talking to the elders, but Eros always told her to calm down.
Still, Alea couldn't calm down. She had to think about what he would answer when Eros' parents asked, it felt like she was going to have an interview for a job. They arrived at a large gate, with lots of trees around it. Alea couldn't even see his house from behind the gate."Open the door." Eros said that when a guard came over to their car. When he realized who was in the car, the guard immediately ran and spoke to someone through a walkie talkie stuck in his pocket. The gate opened automatically, Alea opened her mouth in astonishment. She just realized that the main house is very far from the entrance gate of the house, there is even a golf course spread out when they head to the main house.Alea chuckled in admiration, she occasionally glanced at Eros because she realized that Eros was not an ordinary person. Even her family's past wealth couldn't compare to that man's. Eros parked his car right in front of the main house, a house with European-style architecture that would astound anyone who saw it. This house is really luxurious, even Alea never dreamed of owning a house this luxurious. It's too good to be true!"Come on." Eros took her and stretched out his hand waiting for Alea to return his hand. Even though it was a little awkward, Alea accepted Eros's hand and held the man's big hand tightly. A warm hand that made a strange feeling now spread across Alea's chest."Eros!" Just as they stepped into the house, a middle-aged woman who looked very beautiful and elegant approached the two of them. Renata is a successful entrepreneur who owns almost all cake and bakery shops with branches all over Indonesia with a brand called Nata's. Meanwhile, his father's company, Raymond, has been continued by his eldest son, who is none other than Eros. Because it's not surprising that their family is very rich, even they are included in the richest families in Southeast Asia.From the look on Renata's face, she looked worried and worried. The middle-aged woman had also run into the arms of Eros who was her eldest son."Why didn't you say from the start that Emma and Davin did something terrible like that?" Renata exclaimed, she could not accept it because her son was treated like that by someone whose child he cared about.Eros smiled broadly, then cupped his mother's cheek. "I'm okay, Mom," he replied, and after seeing Eros smile Renata finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was happy that Eros was okay. "Then why don't you come home?" Now Renata jerked her son, she hit Eros's chest in annoyance."I wants to calm down first," Eros replied again while trying to avoid his mother's punch. He chuckled when he saw, Renata pursed her lips because she was annoyed at Eros. His mother always acted spoiled, especially with Eros because he was the first son. Now Renata's gaze turned to the girl who had been standing still beside Eros while watching the little fight between Mother and Child in front of her. Alea is a little jealous of their relationship."Eh— who is this?" asked Renata while pointing at Alea and looking at Eros asking for an explanation from her eldest son."Let's talk about it inside, Dad is there, right?" Renata just nodded her head, she occasionally looked at Alea and made the girl lower her head in embarrassment. Eros, Alea, and Eros' parents sat across from each other at the dining table. Alea ate her food with gusto, seeing Renata secretly smiling happily."Come on, eat a lot," Renata said to Alea, because she was embarrassed, Alea just nodded and went back to eating her food. Eros was also happy when his mother treated Alea as well as possible, even though he had not introduced her to his mother and father."So?" His father cleared his throat, after they finished eating the atmosphere became awkward again. Alea realized that the aura that was coming out of Raymond, Eros' father was very scary. He shuddered, while continuing to lower his head not daring to look at her again."I will get married asap, with the girl you have seen. Azalea," Eros explained. Unlike what Alea had imagined that there would be a fight when Eros said it, it turned out that Raymond just sighed and nodded his head, while Renata had already closed her mouth. opened in surprise at what his eldest son said."It's up to you as long as it's not like yesterday," Raymond said resignedly, the middle-aged man now glanced at Alethea and again nodded his head."Isn't it too fast, Eros? You just failed to get married." Now it was Renata who replied, she didn't want Eros to rush anymore. But Eros shook his head, for some reason he felt he had to get married soon. For some reason he wanted to take revenge on Emma and Davin and the people who belittled him, he wanted to prove to them that he couldn't be fooled and could find a replacement for her quickly. Seeing Eros clenching his fists, Alea realized that she was only used as proof and revenge for the people who had betrayed that man.Alea lowered her head again. True, she also used Eros to get rid of Mr. Adam. So let Alea think they have used each other. "So your name is Azalea?" asked Renata suddenly, Alea raised her head and looked at Renata while nodding her head firmly."Y-yes, Madam." Hearing Alea's answer, Eros' parents laughed loudly. Alea is very funny, because she calls Renata 'Madam'. "Just call me Mommy, soon i'll be your in-laws," Renata said, aware of her ridiculous behavior, Alea also chuckled because of embarrassment."Alea, are you working or studying? You can see that you are still very young," Raymond said, for some reason he had liked Alea since the first time he saw the girl. Even though they had only met for a few minutes, Eros' parents believed that Alea was a kind-hearted woman. Even so, they felt something strange between them. Not like a couple who are about to get married."I study veterinary," Alea answered shyly, everyone at the table was amazed to hear Alea's answer. Even Eros just found out that Alethea's dream turned out to be a Veterinarian, this foreign girl is truly unique."Why?" asked Renata, rarely did she meet people interested in becoming veterinarians, usually people with noble hearts who dreamed of becoming veterinarians because they had to work voluntarily."Why not become a general practitioner?" Raymond asked, still curious about the girl's reasoning. Whereas for financial problems, doctors in other fields are more financially secure."I prefer animals than people." Even though the reason seems ridiculous, Alea really likes animals more. Since childhood, it has been a must to visit the zoo once a week. Since Alea was not good at socializing with other children, she played more with her beloved dog.Until her beloved dog had to die because of her illness, Alethea felt very sad because of that she was determined to become a veterinarian."You are very unique, aren't you," Raymond said while laughing again, Renata also laughed. Seeing his parents who were happy, Eros looked at Alea who was still embarrassed and chuckled a little. Eros stretched out his hand and clapped Alea's hand from behind the table, making the girl immediately turn to Eros."Good job." Eros whispered while smiling broadly. Alea won the hearts of her parents naturally, the girl didn't even try at all. Alea smiled too, lowered her head again when she felt her cheeks heat up from the smile Eros gave her.The time comes when the agreement between Alea and Eros will be carried out, they will get married right on this day even though it was only a week after their meeting that day. For some reason this time Eros was more nervous than his previous wedding party, Eros sat on the bed with his breath that had been panting. He really couldn't calm down, he felt that the agreement he and Alea had made was wrong. "Eros?" A voice calling made Eros turn his head, and find his mother, Renata, appearing from behind the door while waving her hand. The middle-aged woman's smile looked very wide, Eros guessed that her mother was happy."Are you nervous?" Eros nodded his head, his mother stepped towards him then landed his body on the bed and sat beside Eros. Her soft hands were now holding Eros' big hands and holding them tightly. Eros looked at his mother sadly, whatever happened if his mother felt happy like this then Eros would still marry Alea even if there was no love between them. "Mommy are y
Alea had her eyes fixed on her, somehow she lost consciousness because her body was already feeling stiff. Alea turned to her left hand and found her husband asleep there. The man's hand is holding Alea's hand tight."Eros?" call Alea in her small voice."Eros?" call Alea again, now the sound is much louder. Eros immediately wakes up from his sleep, and immediately sits up straight and looks at Alea with a worried look."Alea!" he exclaimed, not to mention that Alea answered that Eros had run out of his room while shouting to the nurse. Although some people were disturbed by the sound of his screaming, Eros seemed indifferent to the rebukes directed at him. All that matters is that Alea's okay. Two sisters with one doctor came to Alea's room, and examined the girl for a moment."Mrs. Alea has been fine. Maybe because of stress, her consciousness returned for quite a long time," explained the doctor, hearing that Eros breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded his head and thanked her, with
"Do you have to go to college now? Didn't you just recover?" Alea, who was eating her breakfast, was upset. The first time after meeting and marrying Eros, Alea feels this upset about the man who is officially her husband."Are you not afraid?" he asked again, since Alea decided to go back to college. Eros always asked like that, the man's face also now seems to look at him glaringly trying to scare Alea."Eros, I'll be fine! So stop wondering or scaring me like that," protested Alea, knowing when their relationship has become closer. Maybe they're like housemates, even though their status is a married couple. Eros rolled his eyes, snorted furiously. "Yesterday alone there were many people and obviously I was there, but still you're not safe." Eros didn't want to lose, the 30-year-old man is now really acting like a child in front of Alea. The man liked to argue and continued to protest all things, even if Alea wanted to throw trash in front of his house, Eros always wanted to accomp
After getting into Eros' car, Alea goes straight. She misses her mother and father very much, but their treatment now frightens her very much. Regardless of how much wealth they have now changed to 180 degrees, his mother who usually smiles and hugs him warmly now looks at Alea with horror, implying that she wants to bring Alea back to the old man immediately.Don't forget her father, long before he went bankrupt her father was a great father. Her father never gave up anything, even her efforts were pioneered from scratch. He loved Alea and her mother very much. But things are now turning them into treasure-crazed monsters, who dare to do anything for the money they will earn. Even by selling their daughter for the old man's marriage, they rejected her.They sell their happiness for property that can only be lost at any time. Alea wept bitterly, covering her already wet face with tears so that Eros, sitting next to her, could not see.Her heart aches so much, she has to accept the fac
The sun that began to sink into Alea's room, woke the girl up. His eyes twitched and he spread his eyes around, grateful that he was in Eros' apartment. But Alea was again confused, how did she get home safely?"AAAAA!" Alea yelling in surprise, a hand suddenly coiled around her waist possessively. Reflect, Alea immediately turned her body around and looked at a man who was apparently asleep next to her."Eros?" call Alea trying to wake him up and let the man's hug slip away. Instead of waking up, Eros even hardened his arms until Eros' breath could now feel Alea blowing around his neck."Eros?" Call Alea again. Alea grimaced with pain in her head because of the alcohol she drank last night. Alea wanted to shake the man's body to wake up from his sleep, but it turned out that Eros was getting closer and now Eros' lips have touched Alea's neck. Feeling it, Alea's body froze. Her heart was beating violently, this strange sensation was the first time she felt it. Suddenly last night's me
The clock has shown at 4 pm, Alea just finished doing homework and also cooking for her dinner with Eros later. While waiting for her husband to return home, Alea took a book from Eros's study, then sat on the couch and began reading a book that looked interesting when she saw the cover.It's not just the cover, it's also very interesting. Her feelings were tossed about when she read them, sometimes sad, happy, or angry. It's really good!BRAKKKThe door of the apartment opened violently, Alea was struck with shock while hugging her book and staring at a man who was arranging her breath."Eros! What happen?" Alea asked worriedly, the girl immediately got off the couch and stepped near Eros. But Eros still manages his breath, he seems to be running so fast that he's exhausted like this."Is anyone following you?" asked Alea again, the girl now steps out of her apartment and spreads her eyes around. There's no one, Alea's back in with confusion. Eros wanted to open his mouth but his bre
"What! Sleepover?!" Eros unconsciously, Renata and Raymond nodded small. Confused by Eros' surprised attitude which they think is exaggerated."It's so exciting, we usually stay overnight if we come to see you." Her mother was nagging and now both Eros' parents have stepped up to find a room for her and her husband's bed."This is the guest room, isn't it?" Raymond asked while pointing at Alea's room. Eros and Alea nodded quickly. I don't know why they were so nervous when Eros' parents came into his room."But it seems like this room is used a lot, huh?" Alea looked at her eyes in surprise, she wanted to talk but she was getting nervous."Alea likes to sleep there during the day," Eros replied when he realized that the girl next to him was very nervous."Oh, that's fine. Yeah, get some sleep. We'll also rest." Eros and Alea nodded violently, and they immediately walked to Eros' room. Finally, both of them could breathe a sigh of relief after feeling nervous and tense."Where do I sle
"Eros? Alea?" Alea, who was still asleep, had to be woken up by a call coming from outside the room. Alea woke up first, the girl blinked her eyes and looked at Eros. Eros was still asleep with his body hugging Alea's body tightly, as if he didn't want to lose her. "Alea? Eros?" they call again, Eros had now opened his eyes, woke up from his sleep then turned his head and looked at Alea who was pretending to be asleep again. "I know you're awake, Alea," Eros said while laughing amusedly, Alea reflexively opened her eyes and immediately let go of Eros' hug to her. Her cheeks were red because of the embarrassing thing she did earlier. "Yeah, Eros and Alea are awake." Eros shouted back to his mother's call, Alea had already gotten up from her sleep and got off Eros' bed. She opened the door and walked towards the kitchen — the origin of where the voices of conversations between two middle-aged people were heard. "Morning Mom, Dad!" Eros greeted his parents and Alea realized th
"Mom's home!" Alea shouted as she stepped into her apartment, followed by Archi who had the goal of meeting Alarik and having dinner together. "Alea, we want to eat—Archi is there too," Eros said a little confused by Archi's arrival. Archi waved his hand greeting Eros awkwardly. "Aci!" Alarik came out of his room and ran to Archi, the boy stretched out his arms asking to be picked up. "Aci, do you know?" asked Alaric, the boy looked at Archi seriously. Exasperated, Archi also looked at Alaric seriously, and waited for Alaric to continue what he said. "What?" "Al has a father now." Alaric pointed at Eros who was standing not far from them, with a forced smile, Archi nodded his head in understanding. "Ah yes, what do you want for dinner?" asked Alea, trying to change the subject. "Wanna make chicken soup? Alaric has to eat nutritious food right," Eros said, he felt the atmosphere was even more awkward, so he tried to divert it as much as possible with Alea. "But Al wants
They arrived at Alea and Alaric's apartment room, Eros put the boy to sleep in his room and returned to Alea who was still busy unpacking her bag. "I will return to my hotel now," said Eros, but Alea quickly held his hand so that Eros would not leave. "Are you sure you want to sleep in a hotel? Won't you just stay here?" Alea asked a little nervously, she was afraid that Eros would think he was ridiculous for asking her to stay over. "Can I stay here?" Eros looked at Alea seriously, he was afraid to make Alea and Alaric uncomfortable with his presence in their apartment. Alea smiled while nodding her head slowly, "Of course, Eros. You're Alaric's father," she answered. Alaric's father? Eros furrowed his brow in confusion, so he was only considered as 'Alaric's father' and not Alea's husband anymore? Does Alea no longer think of Eros as her husband, because they've been separated for quite a while? But still! Eros had not signed the divorce papers given by Alea at that time,
"Daddy!" screamed Alarik when Eros had just stepped into his inpatient room, Alea turned around briefly and greeted him with a smile, the woman seemed to be busy buttoning the shirt Alarik was wearing. Hearing Alaric's call to him, of course Eros felt happy. He did not expect that this simple call could color his life and make him very happy. Alaric didn't seem to mind calling him that for a relatively short time, perhaps because he was still so young, and was very happy when he realized that he too had a father, like his other friends. "How is it? Al is ready to go home?" asked Eros while crouching in front of Alaric and taking over Alea's work. Alea was a little surprised, because Eros suddenly pulled her hand gently, and motioned to Alea with a smile so that Eros would do it. "Let me do it," he said briefly, Eros' eyes were now shifted to Alaric. "What are you going to do? After you get home." Hearing Eros' question, Alaric thought for a moment, then before long his smile
I don't know since when, Eros has been standing in front of Alarik's inpatient room. He did not have the courage to meet Alaric, his son. Admitting it, for some reason Eros now felt very happy. Meeting Alea again and apparently having a son who is truly his flesh and blood, made Eros not believe it, he thought everything that happened yesterday was just a dream. But when he peeked into the glass at the door of the inpatient room, Eros saw Alea, his wife who he missed so much and also a boy with a face exactly like himself. Bracing himself, Eros pushed open the door and reflexively attracted the attention of Mother and Child who had been engrossed in chattering, Alea looked at Eros' arrival and smiled. "Uncle!" called Alarik with sparkling eyes when Eros came into his room. Eros breathed a sigh of relief because the boy's health was getting better. He also looked at Alaric, smiled and waved his hand, greeting Alarik. "Why is your smile not look scary anymore?" he asked innoc
Since last night, Laura had been packing her things with non-stop crying. Indeed, he had given up on the departure of Eros, who was trying to restore his relationship with his wife, who was still alive. But still, the incident at the hospital was like a nightmare for her. She really didn't expect that this kind of painful thing would happen to her, even though she had accompanied Eros for the past 3 years. It wasn't Eros who was wrong and evil here, Laura also felt guilty for having forced her to accompany that man— who clearly never considered Laura's presence, if Laura hadn't asked her yesterday, Eros would not have proposed to her until now. Laura sat on the floor of her hotel room, she was still sobbing. If only— she didn't take Eros on vacation to LA, maybe now that man would still be her. Her mind is now quite selfish, but Laura's heart is not well now, and being selfish is a natural thing for people who are sad. After all, who wants to be sad and let their man chase anot
Laura and Archi were immediately confused, because Alea and Eros apparently knew each other. In fact, they look more than familiar. Eros looked at Alea with teary eyes, which Laura had never seen so emotional. The stiff and cold Eros that I had seen for 3 years suddenly changed in an instant. "Alea," he called softly, Archi looked at Alea, waiting for the reaction of the woman standing beside him. Same with Eros, Alea also looked at him with teary eyes. They looked like two people who had to be separated after a long time and only just met again— wait, Archi just realized. Alea came here because she had to leave her husband, and Eros once said that he had been married. Archi took a step back, he was not ready for this situation. "Alea," Eros called again, ignoring Laura who incidentally was his fiancee, Eros ran towards Alea and hugged his wife tightly. He was crying sobbing as if he didn't expect that Alea was still alive, he thought Alea was gone. Of course Alea returned
After 2 days, Alarik's fever didn't go away, Alea had also taken turns looking after Alarik with Archi when he wasn't busy. But today's Alaric's fever, Alea feels worse than the previous 2 days. It was already 5 pm, and Alea was confused about what to do to make Alarik recover. Because Alea was already panicking and worried, she immediately carried Alarik out of his apartment room and stopped a taxi in front of the apartment building. She had to go to the hospital. Without telling Archi for fear that the man would be anxious and unable to focus on work, she took a taxi to the nearest hospital and it took them less than 10 minutes. "Help me!" Alea shouted while waving her hands, 2 nurses came over to Alea and checked on Alaric's condition. "I’ll check your son condition," said one of the nurses and another nurse brought the patient's bed, then helped Alea to lay Alarik's body there. Of course Alea couldn't hold back her tears, she sobbed when she saw Alaric's limp body lying on
Alea suddenly woke up from her sleep because of the sound of Alarik's crying from the room next to her, her eyes which were still heavy were now looking at the clock on the wall of her room which was still showing 4 in the morning. The sound of Alaric's crying grew louder, Alea quickly got off her bed and stepped into Alaric's room. The little boy was sleeping curled up—still asleep, but crying. Alea sighed, she thought something had happened to Alaric, but it turned out that her son was just having a bad dream.Alea pulled Alarik's blanket and covered her son tiny body. His crying had subsided when Alea came over earlier, because she was worried, Alea lay down next to Alaric and hugged him tightly. Until she realized, if her son's body feels very wa. Panicked, Alea immediately got up from her sleep and checked Alarik's temperature by holding his forehead. Sure enough, it was warm, it looked like Alaric had a fever. Alea again stepped out of Alaric's room and prepared a cold t
With a happy feeling, Laura forgot about her sadness last night and came out of her apartment room wearing casual clothes, jeans and a white t-shirt and a crop-top jean jacket as her outerwear.Her face looked very happy, with enthusiasm she knocked on the door of Eros's hotel room to take him somewhere. "Just a moment, I'll be out." Eros shouted from inside his room, then a few moments later he appeared from behind the door. "Laura, are you going somewhere?" he asked. Laura shook her head vigorously with a smile that grew wider, making Eros confused about the girl's intentions. "Then where are you going?" "I want to go somewhere, but it's not just me— you have to go with me." Laura pushed Eros' body so that he immediately returned to his hotel room and changed his clothes. "But Lau-" "We have to go on a date." Laura didn't give Eros time to refuse her invitation, she closed the door to Eros' room and didn't let him out until he changed his clothes. 5 minutes later, Eros c
