NONE OF THE WOMEN WANT TO MARRY ME

Eldrick got a message from Othniel. The man asked them to go on vacation. At first El refused because he knew his habits. He was very difficult to sleep in a new place. It was certain that he would sleep alone because his two best friends already had wives. But this holiday was different. Othniel also invited the three Geona's siblings. That means Ozora would also join them. For the past few days Eldrick had always met Ozora. Not a day passed without Ozora. Eldrick always had to meet that woman. Delivering breakfast, shopping, and many other ways. The most important thing was to succeed in getting Ozora to go with him.

"Where is Ozora?" Eldrick asked when his feet hit the tiles in Othniel's living room.

"Ozora uses Daven's car. Because my wife is pregnant, you better use Nicko's car. My wife was often nauseous and vomited. I'm sure you'll be bothered by it." Othniel explained. The thought of Geona throwing up in the car made Eldrick shudder in horror. He'd better hitch a ride in Nicko's car. Eventhough Biyanka was pregnant too, the woman still could handle her pregnancy symptoms.

"It sucks! If I had known it was like this I would have gotten in my own car and taken Ozo with me." El didn't stop grumbling along the way. He was annoyed to see the behavior of a husband and wife sitting in front.

"Please be patient, Uncle Eldrick. My parents were like that." Chloe the little girl comforted the grown man sitting beside her.

"Hmmm... your parents always show off their affection. It's so annoying."

"I know, Uncle El. That's why I keep silent.."

"Smart girl," Eldrick said. He rubbed Chloe's hair but his heart was still annoying.

"Biyan, Are you didn't tired of Nicko's super spoiled behavior? When you were pregnant Chloe, he was the weird one. Chloe has been five years but he is still like a baby koala who can't be separated from you."

"It's my fate to have a husband like your friend. Just let him!"

"Oh my God, what happened to my friends? Othniel and Nicko really have been enslaved by love," Eldrick muttered.

"You have to marry so that you know how it feels to be loved by a wife." Nicko commented. He was driving while receiving layer of orange from Biyanka's hand.

They had arrived at the downhill strand. There was a villa belonging to the Othniel family. The larger building was specially rented out for tourists, the smaller building was specifically used by Othniel's family.

"Where's Othniel?" El asked. They had seen Othniel's car parked in the courtyard of the villa but when they entered the villa they did not find the man.

"Mister Othniel is accompanying his wife to rest in the bedroom. He left a message that you can choose a room according to your wishes. We will prepare all of your meals immediately." The servant who greeted them immediately explained,

"Darling, we forgot to buy milk." Biyanka reminded Nicko. From home they had planned to stop at the supermarket for shopping. It turned out that Biyan was pregnant with their second child and Nicko's spoiled nature returned because it was not his wife who had cravings.

"Calm down, honey! Otniel must have brought milk for his pregnant wife. I will interfere with their activities in the room." Nicko laughed imagining how angry Othniel would be if he was disturbed.

Eldrick shook his head at Nicko and Biyanka. The husband and wife were the same as Otniel and Geona.

Eldrick saw Nicko go to Otniel's bedroom then he approached Biyanka. "Will a married man be like that?" he asked.

"If you are curious, get married! You will know the joy of marriage."

"The problem is… none of the women want to marry me."

"That's because you are picky. The proof is that you are an idol in your office, right?"

"That's because they are not close to me yet. No woman can stand my picky and perfectionist nature. The only one who sticks by my side is Shayna but I don't love her."

"How about Ozora? You like her, right?"

"I'm afraid she doesn't like me. Ozora is too different from most other women. A picky guy like me won't get along with her. I don't want my relationship with her to end the way it used to be."

"El, not all women are like your ex. We know you've tried to change. There must be genuine love for you."

Many women were crazy about Eldrick but none of them survived with his picky and perfectionist nature. Food must be according to his wishes, he was afraid to try new or more challenging things, he didn't like being in new environments, and he was always uncomfortable every time, when he found things that were not to his liking. All of that was in contrast to Ozora's nature and habits. That was what made Eldrick doubt. Even though Eldrick was comfortable being close to that woman, he was not sure if Ozora would accept him as a spouse.

That night Eldrick couldn't sleep. He has done everything to help him but failed. Eldrick was not surprised because he could already guess if this would happen. Before his two friends got married, they could stay up late at night . Now? Both of them had their own world after marriage.

There was no other choice. Eldrick turned on the television in the bedroom and searched for a show that suited him. From one movie to another movie he watched in one night. Unknowingly the clock was pointing to the number four. Eldrick started to sleep but a loud noise from the front of his bedroom disturbed Eldrick's eyes, which were almost closed. If he were in a new place then Eldrick's behavior was the same as a bat. Awake at night and sleepy during the day.

There was curiosity in Eldrick's heart. "Who wakes up in the morning like this?" inwardly Eldrick asked. It couldn't be the behavior of his two best friends. Eldrick knew Nicko and Othniel's habits. They would definitely wake up late on vacation.

"Why are you out so early?" Eldrick who just opened the door saw Ozora wearing boots. Coincidentally, their rooms are opposite.
