6. Wedding Day And The Nightmare Comeback

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 you happy?" asked Eros, his mother looked up at her eldest son with sparkling eyes.

"Yes, finally you can marry a good woman like Alea," replied his mother, hearing Eros feel grateful. He pulled his mother into his arms, and hugged his favorite woman tightly.

Eros also didn't expect to get married so soon, after canceling the wedding yesterday. Even though Alea was a stranger he had just met and Eros didn't know her very well, the girl did look kind and sweet.

"Come on, Alea is really pretty, but Eros—" Just as Eros was about to get up from his seat, his mother again held his hand.

"What's wrong, Mom?" asked Eros confused.

"Does Alea not have a family?" The question made Eros speechless, he didn't know what to answer. Alea said that it was impossible for her to tell her parents about her marriage to Eros after running away from her marriage to Mr. Adam. Even Alea doesn't want to contact her family anymore.

"Alea's family lives very far away, they are not here." Eros's answer made his mother furrow her brow in confusion.

"Eros? Mom?" Eros breathed a sigh of relief, a call saved Eros from his mother's interrogation.

"Come on, hurry up! The show is about to start," said his father while sticking his head out from behind the door, peeking at Eros and his wife who had been busy chatting.

"Come on, Eros." His mother, whose focus was distracted, immediately got up from her seat with Eros, she embraced her eldest son's arm and walked hand in hand towards the wedding altar. Eros really gaped at him, he was already standing at the altar of his wedding and Alea walked slowly from the other end of the room.

Alea was very beautiful, wearing a wedding dress that was not too open but still added a graceful impression to her body. Because of that Eros couldn't take his eyes off her, besides that the makeup on the girl's face looked very natural but still added to her beauty. The girl walked alone because there was no father who could accompany her, her head looked down she was too embarrassed to look at Eros.

"Hey," Eros whispered when Alea was already standing in front of him, Alea looked up bravely to look at Eros then smiled sweetly.

"Hey." Alea returned to greet the man, her husband-to-be, who had reached out his hand to help Alea get on the altar of her wedding. Now that they were standing facing each other, Alea and Eros couldn't help looking at each other a little awkwardly. They have now made their wedding vows with a feeling of doubt in their chests, even so Alea and Eros are still convinced to carry out the marriage according to the agreement they have made. Alea and Eros will not regret what they have done today, they are determined.

"Please kiss the bride." Alea widened her eyes, so did Eros.

Hesitatingly, Eros pulled the girl closer. He didn't expect to be able to do this to a strange girl he had just met a week ago. Alea subconsciously closed her eyes, seeing Eros smile faintly. He pressed his thick lips with Alea's and sipped softly. Her brain really wasn't running smoothly, Alea's lips were really addictive even though this was the first time she had done that. Maybe Eros wouldn't let go of his hold if Alea didn't squeeze his coat and make him realize. Alea also felt her cheeks heat up, she swept her gaze around and looked at Eros' family and co-workers who laughed at the awkward behavior between her and Eros.

****

That night, a wedding party was held. Actually, Alea was reluctant, but Eros' parents still insisted on holding it. They want all their relatives, colleagues and friends to enjoy Eros and Alea's wedding. Eros looks like he's having fun, he's busy chatting and laughing with his friends in a white shirt that he has removed his tie and 2 buttons that he has unfastened to reveal a bit of his broad chest. Anyone who saw it, would definitely think that Eros looks very, very sexy.

Alea sat alone in the chair provided while watching her husband. Yes, Eros has officially become her husband. Although only a limited relationship with the agreement between them. Feeling something urgent, Alea got up from her seat and walked towards the toilet. And suddenly someone pulled his hand forcibly into one of the toilets and then locked the door, a man who was familiar to Alea. The man is the bodyguard who chased her a week ago when she ran away from her marriage to Pak Adam.

"Miss Alea?" he called while cornering Alea against the wall, his smile was grinning. Alea stepped back, frightened by the bodyguard's presence.

"After running away, you used other people to take cover, didn't you? but remember—" The man brought his face closer to Alea's ear, while gripping the girl's hair tightly and making Alea scream in pain. "I will bring you before Mr. Adam alive or dead," he continued in a whisper, and Alea screamed even more in fear.

“N-no! Let me go!" shouted Alea. Because Alea struggled to ask to be released, the man took a knife from his trouser pocket and held it close to Alea's white neck.

"Shut up!" The man's face looks increasingly scary. Like it or not, Alea had to stop screaming but secretly was crying sobbing. His hands clenched, trying to muffle the pain in his chest. She didn't want to meet that terrible old man again, let alone marry him. Alea wanted to scream and call Eros' name, hoping that the man who had now become her husband could help her.

"I-I beg you to let me go," Alea squeaked in between her tears, but the man instead laughed like a devil mocking Alea's request to be released.

"Eros!" screamed Alea not wanting to waste the opportunity, the girl rebelled again until the knife the man was holding accidentally injured her neck.

"You’re really stubborn." The man again gripped Alea's hair tightly and threw the girl's body so hard that her body was already lying on the toilet floor. The man looked panicked because he heard a sound outside the toilet, while Alea began to lose consciousness, her head throbbed painfully plus a wound on her neck, His vision was also starting to blur.

Alea closed her eyes for a moment because she suddenly felt very tired, her body also felt weak.

BRAKKKK

Until a bang on the door made Alea blink her eyes for a moment in surprise, the foreign man had fled somewhere through the window and Eros appeared from behind the door. From his face, his husband looked worried and panicked.

"Alea!" Eros shouted when he saw Alethea's dire condition, her dress was filled with blood from her neck, her head was also injured because her body was slammed hard.

"Alea?" Eros called again as he sat down and pulled the girl's body into his arms. Alea stared at Eros for a moment, she thought that maybe this was the end of her life. Instead of answering Eros' call, Alea smiled at Eros even though her face was as pale as a dead person's, after that she slowly lost her consciousness.

"Call an ambulance!" Eros shouted at his assistant Kevin, and Eros swiftly carried Alea's body and ran for help.
