Malvin sits in the waiting room while Evelyn is being examined by a Doctor. Malvin is nervous because it turns out that Evelyn is sick when her cellphone can't be reached.
Malvin cursed himself, how could he have betrayed his lover when she was sick because she was trying not to miss him.
The Doctor called Malvin and explained that if Evelyn was fine, she had a fever from eating late, fatigue, and thinking too much. Doctors advised him to be treated for a while until his condition improved.
Malvin agreed to the doctor's suggestion, he entered the room where Evelyn was being treated. Malvin came over and sat down next to Evelyn's bed
"Why don't you listen to what I say?" Said Malvin holding Evelyn's hand.
Evelyn just smiled. "I miss you." Only those words left his mouth.
"I said don't be too tired and don't think too much." Malvin exhaled tiredly.
"I have to call your parents," said Malvin.
All this time he did not know when Evelyn contacted his family, which Malvin knew, he just lived alone in his apartment.
Evelyn shook her head. "No need, I don't have parents, you're here is enough. "
Evelyn does not have parents, she only has an older brother who now lives in Australia. All this time, she lived alone and his brother always met his needs.
Evelyn did not know where her parents were, her brother only told her that their parents had left and left them when Evelyn was five years old.
Evelyn has been hospitalized for three days and now her condition is getting better, therefore, Evelyn has been allowed to go home.
"I don't want you to get sick again because after this we will be very busy." Said Malvin.
Evelyn nodded. "As long as you are by my side," Evelyn replied.
Malvin smiled, however, his heart trembled. He didn't know what would happen if Evelyn found out that Malvin had been arranged by her parents, especially yesterday Malvin also betrayed her.
⭐⭐⭐
A month has passed since Malvin returned from Canada. There was still no sign from his parents to tell him about their matchmaking. Malvin's father only asked what Dena thought he was.
Malvin is attending a dinner party with his father. Suddenly he saw a woman wearing a long dress with a slightly open top, that girl was very much like Dena. Malvin was surprised and approached the woman to confirm it.
"Dena ...."
The girl turned towards Malvin with a cold expression.
"I didn't think you would remember me," Dena said.
Dena looks cute and elegant in a dress that fits her so well, so much different from her appearance when she was in Canada. Malvin invites Dena to talk outside the room.
“What brings you here?” Asked Malvin.
Dena smiled sarcastically. "I'm not surprised you don't want this match, are you afraid your lover will know?"
"What the heck are you talking about?" Asked Malvin did not understand.
"Tomorrow our family will have a meeting, didn't your father tell you?"
Malvin shook his head stupidly, even this important thing his father didn't tell him. Is he the one who only focuses on work and on her boyfriend?
"And why am I here at the moment? The owner of this show is also my father's colleague." Dena continued.
"Are you lying?" Asked Malvin.
"Do I look lying?" Dena asked in return.
Not answering Malvin just walked away. Dena breathed a sigh of relief after Malvin's departure.
Dena tried to act cold, but her heart was really rumbling. Dena was worried that Malvin could hear his irregular heartbeat. She was quite surprised because it turned out that Malvin could easily recognize him.
It was true what Dena said, after returning from the event, Malvin's father asked him to come back to his house tomorrow. Mr. Gerald still didn't explain why asking him to come home. Malvin did not mention that he had met Dena earlier.
The next day Malvin returned to the house of Gerald, Malvin's father. After escorting Evelyn to the office, he immediately steered the car toward her father's house.
Malvin was immediately greeted by his father who was waiting in the living room.
"What did you ask me to come home for?" Malvin asked pretending not to know.
"We have guests, be ready."
"Whose guest, Dad?"
"Later you will find out too."
at exactly nine o'clock, the Roberts came to Gerald's residence. Malvin seemed to pay attention to Dena, the woman was still wearing a dress with loose hair. There are no more clothes that make Dena look like a bodyguard. They talk about their business collaboration. Meanwhile, in a different room, Dena looks cool talking to Malvin's mother.
Mr. Gerald, Robert, and Malvin went to the place to be built a hotel which was their cooperation. They are monitoring the location because they will soon carry out the construction of the hotel.
While talking, Malvin's cell phone rings, it says Evelyn's name on it. Excuse me Malvin to take the phone for a moment. Immediately he slid the green button and came Evelyn's voice.
"Malvin, you didn't go to the office today?"
"I'm checking out a location for a hotel construction." Replied Malvin.
"With whom are you?"
"Daddy and Mr. Robert."
"Have you had lunch?" Asked Malvin.
"I was having lunch with Jeni."
"Okay continue your work, don't forget to have lunch," Evelyn said again.
"Yes, I'll contact you later," Malvin said closing their conversation.
By late afternoon the three of them just returned to the Gerald family's house. Mrs. Malvin and Dena have prepared food, their dishes are beautifully presented on the table. The two families ate immediately because it was past lunchtime.
"Thank you, Mrs. Gerald, your cooking is very good." Said Robert praised.
"That is your daughter's cooking, Mr. Robert." Malvin's mother chuckled.
"Really? No wonder I was reminded of home and homesick." Robert said honestly because his wife did not come to Indonesia.
suddenly they burst out laughing. Their family looks happy by throwing compliments to each other. At the same time, they started discussing the matchmaking of their sons and daughters.
Malvin looked at Dena, the woman who had slept with him did look even more seductive. it is undeniable that sometimes he still remembers what happened when he was in Canada.
Malvin could not reject or approve of this matchmaking. He knew that a situation like this would sooner or later come after he found out that there was an arranged marriage from his parents.
And stupidly, Malvin actually screwed the girl who was going to be arranged for him after he found out about the fact. In addition, Malvin was an obedient child and almost never refused his parents' requests. So it was impossible for him to refuse.
However, he had Evelyn at heart and by his side who had indeed become the first woman to attract him. So that accepting this matchmaking will be very difficult for him. Because marriage is not just about relationships in bed. But many other things in it.
Malvin felt that he would go crazy if he continued to think about this matchmaking problem. After that conversation, Malvin prefers to say goodbye to return to his apartment.
