S1E4: What is This Mess? (Part 3)

I took a deep breath, then biting my thumb and crossed my leg. My parents try to convince me to meet their 'Mr. Good For Me.' I'm not into him, and I don't have any interest in men. Why were they forced me to get married instead support my choose instead?!

It's better we meet before, they decide to match with their choice. I closed my eyes and sighed. "I hope you're not forgot about our script," she chuckles, sighed.

Flashback on

I walked to the living room and sighed. "How many times I said, I don't want to marry a man!" My dad slapped me.

I can heard she gasped. I took a deep breath, scoffed. My dad glared at me with his arms crossed over his chest. "You always bring disgrace to this family. Am I taught you to do so?!"

If I was a disgrace for you, then abandoned me. I'm clenching my fist inside my pocket and took a deep breath. "If I'm being honest was wrong move, please, on the behalf your unborn child, leave this house."

I picked my backpack and took my key car. "Thanks for ruining my day, mom, dad. Have a nice day." I slammed my garage door and gets inside my car. My mood already worse as they seated on my couch.

I took a deep breath, but I can't. I heard my car door opened. "I'm sorry to let them... in your house."

I chuckled and wiped my tears. I never received reassurement from the outside of my circle.

After a year, I found the first person who was reassuring me. "It's fine. The damage already is done." Admitting you were wrong, it's more precious rather than a silence gold.

It's a proof that I don't have ego rather than you blame it on other people. "I'm sorry," I said.

"I slapped your face, and I'm not regretting it." It's fair anyway. "You're a jerk, Lobak. How can her handle your stubbornness?"

I shrugged both of my shoulders. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. No one of us speak.

If I could change my gender in a nickel of a time, it was easy for me to get close to her. It's better I want to move in this country, anyway. Maybe... Thailand?

I shook my head and sighed. Nearby my country and don't need to change any time zone, but... it's still in Asia. Greenland... how can I visit my homeland after that?! What if something happened in my business, and I'm not there?

America? That country has high crime rate, discrimination towards my ethnic still severe, and... some of states will accept me. I sighed. I don't want get involved in Southeast Asia's stigma problem anymore.

I'm looking at my phone and opened my garage remotely. Right, her. I can't bring her with me or journalists will make it more spicy. "Can you... get out of my car, please?"

She chuckles and put a food container. "Good luck with your event." She gets out of the car and gives me as smile. I'm smiling and my heart beating fast.

"Thank you." Before I start the engine, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. Don't let your emotion took over you. You've got this.

I arrived at the hospital to visit my doctor. I want to complained about everything to her.

I walked a little hurried because she will gathered with her friends in the cafeteria. There... she is. I'm approaching them and cleared my throat. All of them, except her smiling at me.

"Ciao." I heard her growled, then sighed. Her friends moved to another table leaving her alone with me. I put a paper bag in front of her. "Your order, My Queen."

She opened the paper bag. "Oh, my God! Thanks, Lobak! I owe you one." Hehe... now we're go back to business.

"So... can I start..." she puts her fingers in front of my mouth.

"I told her to changed your food, drink, snacks and make sure you took your medication. I also told her to stay with you. She originally refused, but... your condition was concerning, so..." Sarah... please.

I sighed and rubbed my face roughly. "You forced her..." she snaps her finger. "Is there... any option I should choose?" She shook her head.

I picked a bowl of dumpling. "Hey, that's my dumpling!" She rubbed the lid and kissed it. "We concerned about you, Lobak! Why you..."

I saw her smiles getting wider. "You're in love with her aren't you?" What?! No! I leave her as she keeps mocking me.

This is nonsense! How can I fall to a person, who was straight?! If she a normal person, she will rejects me and wishing she's a gay like me. "Lobak?" I took a deep breath and ignore her.

I opened my car door and turned the engine on. If she loves me, she will leaves me alone. I drive to my event held.

Flashback off

This is it, where and his family held a meeting. I should face this. No matter what, I don't want them like a Houdini.

I took a deep breath and tidying my collar and suit, then looks at my grumpy nanny. She looks beautiful in that dress. "You ready?" Rose rolled her eyes. I know she's not comfortable, but... she doesn't have a choice.

We get out after Hanks, my bodyguard opened the door for us. "Mr. Boediman, can you monitor my kittens for awhile? Don't forget to feed them." I gave him my cat's bag.

I hold her hand and sighed. I can feel electricity spark through my skin.

Flashback on

I barge in to her room, and she stared at me. "Where's your manner?!" Right. Where's my manner? I closed the door again and knocked the door.

"Can I come in?" If I will nominate the most annoying person in 2021, it's her. Not also intruding my habit, but... she also the one who slapped my face. She opened her bedroom door and looked at me with her arms crossed over her chest.

"I... uh, need your help." She raised her eyebrow. Her smirked was the most annoying face expression. "I'm sorry, for... the rude entrance earlier and... I need your help."

God, this is fucking embarrassing. "Apologize accepted!" She said. She slammed the door in front of me and scoffed. Once you're in my knees, I'll make sure gonna torture you.

Flashback off

After that, you know what I did to her? I bribed her with a VIP concert ticket. Blackpink will come to Indonesia soon. It will cost me another million, but I hope it's worth it.

Tonight, we look like a real-couple. One with a masculine side, with a short wavy hair. Bespoke black suit and white shirt, and Ulysse Nardin watch, and a pair of Oxford handmade shoes.

The person next to me is wearng a black matte satin designer dress, with a Bvlgari diamond necklace around her neck. Also, her red matte lipstick from Tom Ford.

People might sees us as 'A million dollar couple,' but the truth is, we both a stranger. She's my one night-fiance.

"Guest from Mr. W-Wardiono?" Even the hostess looked at me nervously. I'm nodding my head. It's time to talk like a lover do.

The hostess in front of us picked the menu, and she told us to follow her.

How can I prepare just in minutes? I have a friend from my old college and he is in wardrobe makeover business. I'm using his service for years and the result was never disappoints. She opened the door, and saw my parents and Mr. Wardiono's family.

"Hi, everyone... everything is... delicious?" We gets inside and our hand still tangled each other. I took a deep breath and looks at them one-by-one.

"I want to introduce you a person." Rose smiling at them and waved her hand. I should say it clear and loud. Ugh, God.

I hope there's no journalists inside this restaurant. "She's my fiance, her name is Rosemary Salsabila. We're... in relationship for a year now," everyone in this room was silent.

I pulled a chair for her, then kissed her cheek. I regret this decision.

I sit next to her and our hand keep holding each other without our notice.
