Forced to Marry a Student
After Dinner

"What's wrong? Ever since we got home from my parents' house, you haven't said a word."

Arka drove the car while holding Michaela's hand. He had already noticed Michaela who had only been silent ever since they got into the car.

Mikaela turned her head for a moment towards Arka then shook her head.

A lot of things were running around in Michaela's mind at the moment. When he saw the figure of God there, and knew that God was Arka's brother, he felt that his world would be full of suffering.

He did not dare to imagine how his fate would be tomorrow in the hands of a God. Why was this cruel fate to him?

Just because of a covenant that Michaela did not take seriously, her life had now become even more messy than before. She's been married to her lover's sister all this time.

"Is it because of God's sister?"

Hearing the name being called, Michaela subconsciously looked back at Arka and turned her face away quickly.

"It turns out to be true because of Brother God. Did you know that as long as we were in my parents' house, I held back my jealousy?"

"A-pa you mean?" ask Michaela who feels that Arka knows something about her and the Gods.

"You don't have to hide it. I know your relationship with the Lord's brother."

DEG

It felt like Michaela's heartbeat stopped for a moment. Arka knew of his relationship with the Gods, and Arka still forced Michaela to marry him? Did Arka deliberately do this to humiliate Michaela for being her brother's dark lover?

After saying that, Arka even kept holding Michaela's hand, and her face seemed to have made no change at all. Keep looking at Mikaela gently as before at her parents' house.

"Ba-how did you know? Why are you trying to get close to me? Do you want revenge?"

"Revenge?" Arka. He did not understand how Michaela could think that far.

He pulled his car over and removed the seatbelt he was wearing. Arka sat facing Michaela. "I didn't think at all of revenge because you were my brother's lover. I just want to get you off of her."

"Me-letting me off her?" Michaela could only stare at the soft eyes that led to her for a moment and then turned her face back. "Do you know that I and God ...."

"I knew that you loved my brother so much that you even became his lover, even though he betrayed you and married another woman."

Love the gods so much? It seems like Arka knows things that are not true. Michaela may have loved God all her life, until she finally found out the dark side of God.

Michaela did not leave the Gods either not because she still loved the Gods, but the Gods had something she used to control Michaela from leaving her side.

"I know right now you feel compelled to be by my side, but believe me, I'm serious about you. Don't look at me as a child who doesn't understand what love means."

"You love me? How come? You didn't even know me before you moved to school."

Arka was silent. The school was not the first time they met. They had met long before that. Arka was five years old and Michaela was eleven.

Michaela once saved the nearly drowned Ark, and ever since, Arka has been secretly watching Michaela often help her mother in the flower shop in the apartment where the Arka family lives.

That one week was never forgotten by Arka. A five-year-old keeps remembering the girl's figure all his life and never forgets how she always smiles in her days.

"Is it weird that I love you at first sight?"

"I don't believe in first sight."

"Then give me a chance to make you love me. I will always be around you so you know me better and you can finally find a reason to love me and forget the Lord."

"You don't mind if it turns out I'm your sister's boyfriend?"

"Of course I mind. That's why I want to marry you right away and ask you to end your relationship."

"What if our relationship ends, but I still love her?"

"You will love me eventually. I'm so stubborn to get what I want."

"You'll be sorry."

Mikaela threw her gaze out the window of the car. Arka does look very stubborn to be able to marry Michaela, even willing to accept a job to continue his family company in order to get the blessing of his parents.

Strange indeed. Michaela still did not find an answer to the plausible reason why Arka chose her. Even Arka knew about her forbidden relationship with her brother, but Arka did not back down. He even insisted on marrying Michaela, a woman six years his senior.

It should be at this young age that Arka enjoys her freedom and achieves all her dreams. Not just stuck in a relationship that will bind him for life.

"You still doubt my seriousness to you?" tanya Arka who could see the look full of question marks on Michaela's face.

"Whoever is in my position won't believe you're serious, Arka."

"Is the ring on your finger and carrying you to my family not enough to convince you?"

Mikaela fell silent. Everything Arka did should have been enough to make Michaela sure that Arka was serious about her. But children the age of Arka will certainly quickly change their minds. Especially when he finds another girl outside alone who will look much more attractive.

"We can get married tomorrow if you want. I don't mind if it makes you believe."

"How can a child your age think so far? Don't you want to enjoy your youth? You know marriage is a responsibility that's not easy?"

"I want to enjoy my youth with you. I also know that I have to take responsibility for you, which is why I'm willing to enter the family company so that I can give you anything you want."

Mikaela sighed. There was no good way to make Arka give up. There was actually a way that would make Arka look down on him and probably leave him soon.

"Arka, are you sure you want to marry a woman like me? The woman who had slept many times with a man who had been married and had been his mistress all this time?"

Michaela finally decided to make Arka aware that she was not a woman worthy of standing with Arka. Arka must know that Michaela's relationship with her brother is far away and Arka deserves to be with a good girl who will not tarnish her name later.
