2. Will You Marry Me?

“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 mirror with a tuxedo on his body, and he was smiling proudly. The day he had been waiting for had arrived, he bet that Emma would look gorgeous in the girl's dream wedding dress. Eros feels, now in his life, there is nothing lacking in the slightest. Handsome face, riches? No need to ask, he is one of the most successful CEOs in Indonesia.

And now, he has a gorgeous bride and a child who will soon be born from the woman he loves. He already has everything.

After feeling that his appearance was neat, Eros stepped out of his room and was about to go to his wedding altar. But when passing through a room, he heard a voice whispering that made him curious. He put his ear to the door of the room, and tried to hear the conversation of the people inside.

“But Em, the baby is my child!” A familiar voice started yelling, Eros knew that voice very well. He had heard that voice all of his life, the voice of his best friend, David. River was stunned for a moment, he was still confused about what his best friend was talking about.

“So? Do you want our baby to have a miserable life? I'll ask him to change all his assets to my name, and I'll go marry you! You know that I love you, right?” This time the voice of the woman he loved, Emma, was heard to answer. Eros's brain seemed to stop working, he was still silent and not aware of what was happening. Not believing what he was hearing, Eros grabbed the doorknob and opened it immediately.

Emma, ​​his fiancé and future wife, was caught hugging his best friend, David. Eros laughed sadly at that, he didn't even have time to feel the pain in his chest. It felt like he was really being conned after being in contact with Emma for the past 3 years. And seriously? Is it necessary that on his wedding day, the dirty things that the two people she loves have done must be revealed? Why on this sacred day?

“Eros! Eros, I can explain—” Emma cried, the woman had let go of her hug with David and stepped toward Eros. Her hand tried to hold Eros's hand, but Eros reflexively brushed it off. “Disgusting,” he said, Emma's appearance, which at first looked beautiful because she's wearing a beautiful wedding dress had changed to look disgusting to her.

“Eros!” called Emma again, the woman did not give up. He sat up hugging Eros's legs and looked at his fiancé—no, his ex-fiancée with pleading eyes. But Eros's feelings of disgust haven't changed one bit, Emma is now just a cheap woman to him.

He let go of Emma's grip on his leg roughly, and walked away without looking back. “Where are you going?” His mother was walking towards him, giving him a worried look. “Let me go.” After saying that, Eros resumed his steps by jogging a bit while busy calling his assistant, Kevin asked him to pick him up. Because he would rather not meet anyone else, he was forced to run farther so that no one noticed his departure.

Arriving across the street, he found a girl in a shabby-looking wedding dress, the hazel-eyed girl looked at him with a dreamy gaze. Eros could see that the girl was also running just like him, but judging from her appearance it seemed that the girl was really in trouble.

“Miss Alea!” someone shouted, Eros's reflex, and the girl looked at the street corner where a strange man was standing. The girl, he knew from her nickname was named Alea, ran fast and the strange man ran after her. Seeing her in dire straits, of course, Eros couldn't allow it. Even though he hated meddling in other people's problems, somehow he felt like he had to help her. Eros also ran, chasing after the girl and because he was closer than he was with the stranger, Eros was able to reach the girl's small hand.

The hazel-eyed girl stared at her in wide-eyed shock, and Eros just tightened his grip and ran with her. Until a car belonging to his assistant, Kevin had stopped in front of the two of them, and told Eros to get into it immediately. “Come in!” Kevin yelling, Eros nodded his head and told the girl standing beside him to come in too. But the girl was still silent and looked still surprised. Without saying much, Eros pulled the girl's body to get into the car. Luckily, he complied and sat beside her.

“Come on, Kevin, come on!” Eros said when he realized that the stranger man had started running towards the car, Kevin nodded his head, following his superior's orders even though he was still confused about the identity of the girl in the wedding dress who was running with his boss.

“Where am I going?” the girl screamed suddenly, Eros turned to him and smiled, trying to give the girl peace. Judging from her face, the girl was stunning! Dark brown hair that matched her hazel eyes, a small mole on the corner of her cheek, even though her appearance looked messy, the girl who he thought was still in her 20s still looked beautiful. Eros's favorite part is her eyes, even Emma's beauty was nothing compared to the pretty girl sitting beside him. Meeting this girl actually made Eros forget the betrayal of David and Emma, the two people he once loved.

Looks like this girl is really in trouble, her feet also look blisters and her body smells bad. Even so, Eros did not say anything. He tried to understand the girl's situation. Because his arms were open, and his beautiful collarbones were clearly visible, Eros took off the jacket he was wearing and put it on the girl. The girl looked surprised and stared at Eros. Until a crazy idea crossed Eros’s mind.

“May I ask a question?” Eros asked suddenly, the girl who was staring nodded her head slowly.

“Did you run away from your wedding?” The girl paused for a moment, her gaze changed to a sad one, and she turned her face away from Eros again. Seeing her response, Eros felt guilty for asking.

“I’m sorry,” Eros said, but the girl looked back up and nodded her head slowly. “Yes, I don't want to marry that old man. I also still want to pursue my dream, even though I have to start from zero later,” explained the girl with a faint smile, of course, Eros was touched to see it.

“How about marry me? I'll make sure you can be safe from that man and can pursue your dreams,” Eros offered suddenly, even Kevin, who was driving his car had to stop suddenly in shock. “Eros." Kevin shouted, surprised by the offer his boss gave to a girl he had just met.

“You're crazy?” Now the girl responded to Eros’s offer of disbelief, while Eros had smiled and directed her hand to invite the girl to shake hands to agree.

“I will guarantee those two things, but you have to be my wife,” Eros said again.
