Forced to Marry a Student
He's Coming Home

"Arka, we need to talk."

Dr. Budi had finished examining Michaela.

"How is he doing?" Arka looked for a moment at Michaela's room.

"Not so good. I found many cuts and bruises, and ...." Dr. Budi paused while looking at Arka with a serious look. "You know who did it?"

"He wouldn't say it directly, but I know who hurt Micah."

"Is she the girl you've been looking for?"

"I couldn't have been with him if he wasn't that guy."

"Then, you must completely free him from the Gods. It's not the first time I've found him in such a state. In fact, it's never been worse than this."

Arka looked at dr. Be with an incredulous look. All this time, her brother had hurt Michaela a lot?

"Do you mean, the gods do this often?"

"You could say, Michaela was a woman who was made into a doll by a god. He did not let go, but did not love her properly. The gods are happy to torture Michaela because it can satisfy her desires."

"Over this time, I thought ....."

"You think they're a couple separated by circumstances because your sister was forced to accept her betrothal?"

"I should have found him sooner. All this time I thought he was happy with my brother, until I found out that my brother was married and he still survived beside Brother God."

"If you really love her, take her as far away from the Gods as possible. You can't imagine what kind of suffering he had to feel next to God."

"If the Lord's brother dares to touch him again, I will really kill him."

"I hope you're a rescue angel for him. And I hope, I no longer have to see him in this state anymore."

Dr. Budi left Michaela's apartment after telling Arka what he had to do to take care of Michaela.

Slowly Arka went into the room to see Michaela. Michaela seemed to lie on her side against Arka. At first glance Arka could see some marks of cuts and bruises on Michaela's plain back.

Arka clenched her hand to hold all her anger so that she did not immediately run to finish her brother. He still had to look after Michaela. His dealings with the gods will be finalized later.

Arka sat down on the side of Michaela's bed and gently rubbed Michaela's head. "I'm helping you get dressed, okay?"

Slowly Michaela shook her head. "I want to take a shower first" Michaela replied slowly.

Arka was silent for a moment. Under these circumstances, it was possible that Michaela could bathe alone.

"alright. I'll prepare some warm water and I'll help you take a bath."

Michaela shook her head. "Leave me alone, Arka. You don't have to worry about me."

"You're my future wife, Micah. How could I not worry about you?"

"Stop calling me a future wife, Arka. You've seen for yourself how my life is. Don't force your way in and get dragged into it."

Arka did not answer. He will ignore all Micah's words. After knowing what had happened, Arka increasingly did not want to leave Michaela.

Arka stepped inside the bathroom and prepared warm water for Michaela. After that, Arka took the clothes in the closet and placed them at the end of the bed.

"I've prepared your hot water and your clothes. I'll make breakfast first." Arka then kissed Michaela's temple to tell Michaela that Arka was not going anywhere. Arka will stay by his side.

Fifteen minutes passed. The breakfast Arka made was ready and Arka took him into Michaela's room.

Arka did not find Michaela in the room and still saw the bathroom door that was still closed.

"Mikk." Arka knocked on the door. "Your breakfast is done. Don't soak too long. You'll be sick."

"I'm a bribe, huh?" Arka took the plate and sat down next to Michaela. "You feel better?"

Michaela did not answer. He only briefly looked at Arka, then turned his gaze in the other direction. Michaela complied only when Arka fed her until all her breakfast was gone.

"I'm glad to see you finish your breakfast. After this, I'll buy medicine for your wounds." Arka put the plate on the table. "I'll just be gone for a while. You just rest first."

Not yet Arka stepped up, Michaela pulled the end of the shirt that Arka was wearing. "Don't go. I'm afraid he's back."

Arka turned and sat back down. "Alright I'm not going anywhere. I'll ask someone to buy it." Arka stroked Michaela's cheek gently and led her back to lie down in order to rest.

Arka accompanied Michaela until Michaela fell asleep. After that he asked one of his father's confidants to buy all the drugs that Michaela needed.

Arka's desire to see her brother soon was great, but she could not leave Michaela. Mikaela looked still frightened and she also did not want to take the risk of the Gods coming back.

Not long after, a knock on the door sounded.

"Didn't I just tell her? Why did he arrive so soon?"

Arka steps in to open the door and Arka is shocked to see who is behind the door.

"You?"

"You?"

They were both surprised.

"What are you doing here?" Julian instantly pushed down Arka's body and called out to Micaela. "Mikhaela, where are you? Why is this kid here?"

"Hey! What are you doing? I haven't allowed you to enter!"

Arka held back Julian's body which was already looking for Michaela. He had no information about Julian's return.

"Where is Michaela?"

Julian immediately pushed down Arka's body and knocked on Micaela's door.

"Michaela. You're inside? I'm in, huh?"

Slowly Julian opened the door and was surprised to see Michaela lying with bruises on her face.

"Michaela!"

Before Julian came in and approached Michaela, Arka immediately pulled Julian out.

"Don't bother him! He just got some rest."

Julian grabbed Arka's collar. "What did you do to him!" Without warning, Julian immediately hit Arka in the face. Arka almost fell.

"I didn't do anything to him!" Arka tries to hold Julian's next blow. "Listen to me first!"

Once again Julian managed to hit Arka and this time Arka fell down. Julian instantly locked onto Arka's body and continued to hit her. Arka was just trying to protect herself without any resistance.

"Stop, Juls." That weak voice was enough to make Julian stop. He immediately stood up and approached Michaela who was standing weakly while propping herself up leaning against the door frame.

"Michaela. What are you doing? Sorry, did I wake you up?"

Julian immediately swept Michaela's body back into the room and sat her on the edge of the bed.

"It wasn't Arka who did this, Juls."
