Forced to Marry Alula

York City

Alula arrived in York City at 12:00 p.m. York City is the historical capital of Yorkshire located in Northern England. The distinctive feature of the city is the old buildings in the medieval style, because the city is full of historical travel. York City is a very unique city as historical buildings, schools, hospitals and other public facilities converge in the city. York is also known as a ghost town in Europe. Perhaps because the buildings there are many ancient buildings of medieval heritage that are thousands of years old.

"This is your grandparents' house, Al?" Cleon noticed the Georgian-style house that was in front of him.

"Yes, this is his house. It's been two years that I haven't been here" Alula noticed her grandparents' slightly changed home.

"Al, are you sure you're gonna stay in this house?" Chelsea shudder in horror at the house that feels creepy to live in.

"House is like a house in the movie The Conjuring" he continued.

"If it's not wrong The Conjuring's house is in the style of a Bungalow," Alula refuted Chelsea's statement.

"Yes, let's go down!" Alula got off the car which Cleon and Chelsea soon followed. Cleon immediately took Alula's belongings, hers and Chelsea's belongings out of the trunk.

Alula rang the doorbell of the house. Before long someone opened the door.

"Al, have you arrived?" Alula's grandmother, Anne Hamilton, welcomed her granddaughter.

"Sir," Alula hugged her grandmother.

"This is your husband?" Anne asked when she saw Cleon's face.

"No. He's not Alula's husband. Did you forget my husband's face?" Alula pursed her lips, because her grandmother had met Kai on her wedding day.

"Grandmother forgot. Understandably grandma is old," Anne chuckled.

"Yes, let's go in! Grandma's staying up late to wait for you."

Alula, Cleon and Chelsea immediately entered the house.

"Grandfather?" Alula greeted her grandfather who had just come down the stairs.

"My granddaughter" Alula's grandfather Charlie Hamilton hugged Alula.

"Where's your husband?" Charlie spread his eyes looking for Kai.

"He's not coming" Alula smiled stiffly when asked about Kai. To be honest, he did not want to talk about the man who had hurt him.

"Oh yeah, Alula's friend's friend will stay here for two weeks to enjoy the summer vacation. Can I?" Alula asks Charlie for permission.

"Of course I can. You can stay here as long as you want" Charlie smiled at Cleon and Chelsea. Charlie and Anne are alone because their children and grandchildren live in another city. They live in Durham, Cambridge and Birmingham.

"Thank you," Chelsea and Cleon nodded politely.

Anne took them to her room.

"You go to sleep soon, it's midnight! Grandma said to sleep first" Anne said as she showed rooms for Alula, Chelsea and Cleon.

"alright. Good night, Grandma!" Cleon said kindly.

"Al, I slept with you, huh? I'm scared," Chelsea sulked at Alula.

"Can. Come on!" Alula immediately went into the room. Chelsea and Cleon followed.

"Why did you come in?" Alula was shocked Cleon followed her.

"I want to put this down" Cleon showed me Alula's bag and her suitcase.

"Oh yeah, I forgot," Alula laughed. Cleon and Chelsea smiled to see Alula laughing, because it had been a few days his job was just crying.

"Alright, then I go in my room first. What a beautiful dream for you!"Cleon immediately passed from the room and entered the room next to Alula and Chelsea's room.

Alula and Chelsea immediately moved their clothes into the closet in the room.

"Al?" Chelsea looked at Alula who was taking out her clothes.

"Hmmm?" Alula just muttered.

"You sure you're gonna stay here next?"

"I don't know. I will definitely stay here during the summer break. After 3 months, I'll think about it," Alula was still busy getting her clothes out of her suitcase, and suddenly her passport and visa dropped.

Alula took the passport and visa and looked at him with a sad feeling raging inside her. Alula recalls her honeymoon with Kai in Switzerland.

Chelsea looked at Alula who was staring at the passport and visa in her hand.

"Here you don't think about Kai!" Chelsea snatched the passport and visa from the hands of her best friend.

"She must be glad I'm gone from her life" Alula smiled bitterly.

"Forget Kai, Al! He doesn't deserve you to cry. Your tears are too precious for her. Just think about your son!" Chelsea crouch in front of Alula.

"I've thrown you away. He's been too much with you."

"Yes, Chel. All this time, the words of love he used to say to me were just lies. I don't want to see him anymore either" Alula smiled scarredly.

"And I will give birth and take care of this child myself" Alula stroked her flat belly.

"Just calm. I'll help you take care of your son" Chelsea rubbed Alula's stomach gently.

"Let's go to sleep! You have to rest a lot" Chelsea pulled Alula's hand. They immediately poured out their bodies to rest.

"Kai, it's time I forgot about you."

In the morning, Beverly came to Cleon's house with food. He was deliberately cooking for Cleon.

Beverly knocked on the door. A man seemed to open the door.

"You who?" Beverly asked the stranger in front of her. The man looked at her coldly.

"I'm the one who asked, who are you?" The man asked back.

"I'm Cleon's friend. There's cleon?" Beverly cackled wildly looking for Cleon's whereabouts inside her house.

"Cleon doesn't exist. He was going out of town" replied the man.

"What city?" Beverly was disappointed that Cleon had not informed her of her departure.

"If not mistaken to northern England."

"How long will he be gone?" Beverly felt stubbornly waiting for an answer from the foreign man before her. Beverly was afraid that Cleon would be gone for quite a long time.

"2 weeks."

"Huh? Why so long?" Beverly felt shock. He really wanted to meet Cleon right now.

"After you!" Say the man with a sniff.

"You're right! Why don't I catch up with him? The next 2 weeks were summer holidays," Beverly smiled cheerfully at the man's orders.

"Basic strange woman!" The man closed the door very hard.

"It's not polite!" Beverly grumbling. As Beverly exits Cleon's courtyard, she sees Cleon's mother descending from the car.

"Bev, are you here?" Alice asked, the mother of Cleon.

"Yes. I'm looking for Cleon, but he's not home.Where does Cleon go auntie?" Ask Beverly.

"Tante can't tell you. Cleon told the aunt to keep it a secret," Alice replied with an unpleasant look to Beverly.

"Why aunt?" Beverly wondered why Cleon had asked her mother to keep her town a secret.

"Auntie doesn't know that either."

"Come tell Bev aunty! Bev has important business with him. Bev promised not to tell anyone else" Beverly pleaded.

"alright. Since you're a good boy, auntie will tell you. At first Cleon said he was going to Surrey County, but last night he called back, saying he was going to York City" Alice whispered.

Beverly smiled happily as she learned of the city Cleon was aiming for.

"Tante, can Bev ask for Cleon's full address there? Bev please!" Beverly clenched her arms.

"alright. Then send the address to your mobile number."

"Thank you aunt" Beverly hugged Alice.

"The same, dear," Alice returned Beverly's warm embrace.

"Oh yeah, there was a man at the aunt's house. Who the hell is he? How annoying is that?"

Alice laughed at Beverly's words.

"He's Henry, Cleon's brother. She was indeed that way of being," Alice smiled.

"Sorry aunt! Bev didn't mean to"

"It's okay," Alice gently rubbed Beverly's hand.
