“Alea, I'm sorry, I think you should quit your college. Your father's company is bankrupt.” A middle-aged woman sitting across from Azalea. A 22-year-old girl who is studying at the best university in her city because previously her family's economy was quite well-off, and now she is enjoying her youth. She didn't think this kind of bad luck would happen to her. Hearing the word from her mother, the girl widened her eyes in shock. “Because of gambling, your dad lost his company, and now he's running away.” And now, what should Azalea do? She didn’t say anything. She can't protest or reject her mother's decision. “And mommy begs you for our family, mommy also did this because I had to. Mommy and daddy must give you as collateral and let you marry Mr. Adam.” Another apocalypse came to her, her hands were now tightly clenched. Azalea was confused how to react. At the age of just 22 years old, she had to have bad luck, which made her miserable. Azalea had to marry a middle-aged man who
“Eros! I'm pregnant,” his fiancé squeaked in fear, Eros frowned confused, but he put aside his confusion and felt happy with the news he heard. He smiled, a big smile and hugged his fiancé, Emma, tightly.“You want to marry me?” asked Eros, suddenly proposing to his girlfriend because he wanted in the future his child to be born with official status. Of course, Emma, who was initially shocked, she's immediately changed her facial expression to a smile, she was pleased when her fiancé offered her a marriage.Because of that, Emma chose to keep secrets about the baby in her stomach and lied to Eros. “You want to marry me, Emma?” Eros asked again, Emma happily nodded her head.“Yes, Eros!” she answered and hugging her fiancé and her future husband, Eros smiled a wide smile and returned Emma's hug with great affection. For him, marrying Emma was like a dream he had been waiting for, and soon his dream would become true. ****His wedding day arrived, Eros stared at his reflection in the
Eros takes Alea to her hidden apartment, one she has hidden from her family, Emma and David. Only he and Kevin, his assistant, know and now plus this girl. After arriving, Eros allowed Alea to clean herself first in the guest room she had prepared. Meanwhile, Alea had walked hesitantly into the room that the stranger called Alea's room if she agreed with the deal she had made. Alea looked at herself in front of the large mirror in the room, her dress was very shabby. She also smelled trash from her body and felt like he was going to vomit.A large white shirt that Alea could guess belonged to a man she had just met was on her bed, she smiled silently and then walked towards the bathroom to clean herself. “Er— is there anything you want to eat?” Eros shouted from outside the bathroom, Alea widened in shock, and she slapped her forehead, cursing herself for forgetting to lock her bedroom door."Anything.” Alea replied while looking for a towel, trying to cover herself for fear that Eros
“Alea? How long does it take to get ready?” asked Eros from outside Alea's room. KNOCK Eros knocked on Alea's door again, he was about to invite the girl to go to an event at his company. At the same time, introducing Alea to her other co-workers."Wait a minute!" Alea shouted from inside the room, the girl was still looking at her appearance in the mirror. The black satin dress on her body made her less confident. Moreover, the dress only covered up to her chest. His neck and hands were wide open, his back was also only covered with ropes that were not completely covered. Alea sighed, she was terrified that Eros would not like her appearance."Alea, we'll be late if we don't hurry," Eros shouted again. Not wanting to make the man wait, Alea now stepped towards her bedroom door and opened it, Eros appeared from behind the door. The coat on Eros' body made his appearance more dignified and handsome. Eros seemed to have been born to wear such clothes. While Eros had opened his mouth
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,
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
"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
