Chapter 2: First Introduction
Hearing someone suddenly call my name while holding my arm while pulling made me surprised. The foreign man I met for the first time made the hairs on my neck stand up, not because I saw a ghost. It was because the man looked like a flirtatious uncle who was about to kidnap me. After all, he was wearing a suit. I asked him while removing his hand from me. I told him he had the wrong person because I was afraid of him. But the man still held me and kept insisting that he knew me.
" I told you the wrong person! Do you want to hear me scream here?" I said firmly to the man.
The man was silent for a moment staring at me while frowning. I saw him take out a cell phone from his jacket pocket and showed an account called Summer30, which is my account name in one of the dating apps I downloaded.
" That is right, that is my account. Is this the man I want to meet? Why does he look scary?!" I said to myself.
I began to speak haltingly. My feelings started to go awry because of my fear of the man in front of me at this time. I asked the man to sit down. We sat facing each other. Right now, I did not dare to look into his eyes while I felt that the man was still staring at me with quite a frightening look. I think that it looks like I am going to be in trouble. In silence, I thought again as if I was going to talk to the man in front of me at this time that I was not serious about this meeting.
" Yes, I will explain that I am just kidding and not serious about this. And then I will leave," I said again to myself.
I began to gather the courage to speak when I was about to speak, suddenly, the man said, " Axel ". The man said his name as if he was introducing himself before me. I was just speechless looking at it. I got the feeling that she looked a bit nervous. Finally, I ventured back to say what I was about to say earlier with confidence. I said I was not serious about finding a companion on the dating app. So, I was about to quit right then and there. However, a man named Axel held me back and said that he had an offer for me.
" Sorry, I am not interested in dating, and I am just experimenting with the app." I said firmly to Axel. However, Axel talked about things that were completely beyond my expectations. He said something that made me decide to stay with him and listen to what he had.
Wait a moment, could you stay and listen to my offer? Axel said those words made me think. Is it possible he has the same reasons as me? Or maybe he will offer me something big enough again? I am even more curious. I, who was about to leave that place, decided not to go and listen to what the man had to offer me. Long story short, the man said he wanted to marry me under a contract. We were legally married and made a contract like a work contract. The contents of one of the contracts said that our relationship was only limited to colleagues and not like husband and wife in general. Hearing this made me quite surprised, beyond my expectation. I thought I would only offer as a paid lover but, it turn out to be married.
" W-Wait a minute, what? Married? Can not we just have a date? I asked Axel.
" No! What I need right now is marriage," Axel replied firmly. I told him that I would think about it first.
" Okay, I will give you until tomorrow." said Axel.
" What??? Tomorrow you say? Only one day?? are you crazy guy?" I replied in surprise. Ya.
" Not much time for me." Axel said with a cold stare.
I was surprised to hear that Axel only gave me one day. I have to think about it carefully because I do not want to get into trouble later on if I am too hasty to answer. I was annoyed and panicked. How could I have made such a quick decision? In that first meeting, I could judge that Axel was a cold-blooded man. While we were talking there was not even a hint of a smile on his face.
I can judge that he lives his life in a monotone and is also not very interesting, so he looks Very Cold and arrogant on the one hand. I wanted to refuse right then and there. But on the other hand, I was fed up with my mother insisting that she always talked about matchmaking and marriage in front of me. I should talk to my brother and ask his opinion, but after I think about it, it seems my brother will mess things up, and in the end, I will be stuck again with strange requests from my mother.
We split up before we exchanged cell phone numbers so we could communicate with each other easily without having to go through our dating apps. On the way home, I kept thinking hard. I keep ringing about my promise to my mother will introduce my boyfriend this weekend. When I got home, my mother again asked many things that made me quite tired. She asked about my boyfriend again. What is her hobby? What is his favorite food? And many other things that he asked me endlessly. I started writing stories again. And my mother seems to believe. After we chatted, I said goodbye and went back to my room.
Arriving at the room, I started to put my tote bag on the floor and immediately fell on my bed. I take deep breaths while complaining about my current situation. I think about more it makes me feel uneasy. The first meeting with a man named Axel made me think hard. When I was exhausted while laying down my body, I heard my cell phone ring. I got a message. I started to get up from my bed. I hurriedly approached my favorite tote bag because my cell phone was still there.
It was a message from a number I did not recognize. I will wait for your answer until tomorrow afternoon, write The Message. I sighed again. I know the Message was sent by Axel. I save the number with the name " Old Uncle "
I started thinking about Emil. I should discuss this with Emil, and ask her for advice. Maybe she has the answers I might need right now. Finally, that night I tried to contact Emil. But I tried several times there was no answer from Emil. I thought maybe now she was asleep or she was with her boyfriend.
My feelings are starting to get messy. I would have a finding someone I could take home this weekend and pretend to be my boyfriend in front of my mom. But I also don't want to get involved any deeper with a cold-hearted man like Axel. I sighed again for the umpteenth time because I was lamenting my fate which was so complicated.
