Chapter 2 - What? Marry Me?

"Long time no see, you're getting funnier, Darling. I can't wait to marry you," he said, trying to stop his laughter.

What? Marry me? What did this man say? Is he out of his mind? Was he actually a patient who had just returned from a mental hospital? If that's the case, I have to be careful with this guy. It's enough my uncle and aunt to torture me quite heavy. I don't want any more psychic attacks from this crazy person.

"Are you a crazy person?" I said, throwing a sneer at him.

And again, the handsome face owner just laughed at my words. Does he think I'm like a joker? should anyone who saw my sneer, they were scared — or at least disgusted. Look at my appearance, it's like a zombie. Does anyone feel at home with me for long?

"Oh, Honey ... I just found out if you now like to joke like this. Hahaha."

the tall man with a thin mustache stuck his hand into the pocket of the jacket he was wearing. Then he took a small rag and put it on my forehead. Shit! The sweat on my forehead didn't seem to have disappeared.

I froze at her unexpected attitude. When his hand gently rubbed my forehead, my body suddenly stiffened. I seemed to feel strange vibrations that ran through my body. I paused with a look of disbelief. I'm speechless.

The handsome face is getting closer. Now our faces are only two centimeters apart. I could even feel his warm breath on my face. Those pink lips as if asking me to kiss them.

Ah! what I think? Not! This man has really bewitched me. I must leave it immediately. I'm afraid that this crazy person will drive me crazy too.

"What are you doing!?" I jerked. But my body still didn't give any reaction, as if to voluntarily let the crazy man wipe the sweat off my forehead.

"Shuutt!" the man put the finger of his left hand on my lips. Gave me a signal for silence. And unfortunately, my body just complied with what he said. Oh my God, this magic can really drive me crazy!

After feeling the sweat was gone on my forehead, then the man returned to put a small rag into his coat pocket. Now the distance between our faces is back to normal, and my heartbeat has returned to normal. Not beating fast like that. Huh, thank goodness. I was afraid that I would die from irregular breathing when his face was so close to mine earlier.

"Honey, have you been exercising? Why sweat like that?" asked the crazy man looking worried.

"What's your business?" I replied with a frown. Confused.

I don't know what the crazy guy is really thinking. Does he care about me? The sweat was nothing compared to the pain I had been suffering. The wounds inside my heart are more painful than the fatigue I have to experience every day.

"Oh My God, Honey. What do you say my businessI am your future husband. I deserve to know all the things that make you look tired like this. "

Then the crazy man's hand touched my shoulder. His gaze was sharp as if he was being intimidating. He brought his face closer to mine like earlier. Ah, anyone help me! Get the face of this crazy guy off mine! I can't breathe normally if I continue like this!

"Look, yes, Honey. I know we've been apart for a long time. But that doesn't mean our relationship is over. I told you to wait for me for five yearsI focused on rebuilding my father's company, which by then was going bankrupt. And finally I can make my father's company back as successful as before. Therefore, I returned to Singapore to pick you up. I promised you that day, the day of our separation that I really didn't want. "He shook my body slowly." And now, I will keep that promise. I have been here, before you. I purposely didn't announce my return here in advance, so this could be a surprise for you. "

On his face was a smile. A very soothing smile. Again I was bewitched by his smile which often made me lose my consciousness. I don't know what happened to me right now. My heart and mind are incompatible. My mind wants to curse him right now for having dared to hug and touch my body at will. But my heart said different. My heart feels good. My heart felt a different aura that that crazy man had. a positive aura that will bring me free from the entanglement of this hell.

However, I don't know what he said. I don't know what he's talking about. Relationship? Separation? Promise? What relationship? What goodbyes? And what promise? my head seemed to be spinning at the thought of what this man had said. Actually, am I crazy or is he?

I really want to scream in front of his face. "I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TALKING, CRAZY MAN!" But what I'm doing right now is beyond expectations. Somehow my head nodded like a child on advice, and my lips said nothing but a low mutter. What have I done? Ah, I really want to hit my head and lips!

then this crazy man pulled me back into his arms. My body seemed to have run out of strength because it couldn't hold back the movement of his hand which easily pulled my body. The crazy man gently stroked my hair. I feel both warmth and comfort. I don't know what's going on right now, but I can't lie that I'm enjoying this right now. Somehow I feel alive again. I felt that the suffering that I had been through for a long time would soon disappear because of this crazy man.

and now I don't know where to curse or thank him. I'm ... in a dilemma.

***

Tonight was really hard for me, after the incident this afternoon made me sick. Aunt Thaka saw the crazy man hugging me, then suddenly Aunt Thaka scolded us as if we were criminals. I can't imagine what would have happened if my Uncle and other siblings were in the house at that time. That crazy man definitely got hit by Uncle.

Uncle and Auntie don't want to see happiness in my life. actually long ago, there were some young men who came to this house, and they intend to marry me. But Uncle and Aunty balked. I also do not know why they rejected all the applications. even though I don't want to marry those boys either, but wouldn't it be outrageous if Uncle and Auntie behaved badly like that?

He said, the young men often saw me walking to the market. I was never allowed to leave the house other than to buy groceries, because in this house I was the only one who was told to cook for my siblings. They purposely did not hire a housemaid, because so that all the housework was only me to do it. My fate is really sad.

Currently, there is one thing that is bothering me.

"Just wait, in a moment I'll take you away from this house. We'll live happily with our children. See you, HoneyI'll be right back," He said before Aunt Thaka disrespected herself.
