Forced to Marry Alula

Who hit you?

Cleon is on a working visit to Cannon Hill Park. As a young councillor in Birmingham, Cleon must ensure that future generations can enjoy the panorama and natural beauty that is now increasingly difficult to find, especially in industrialized countries such as the United Kingdom.

Since the Industrial Revolution in the region of Western European countries, the beauty of nature has been increasingly eroded by rapid and massive developments such as, the construction of skyscrapers, housing, and other developments. Therefore, Cannon Hill Park became one of Cleon's concerns as a member of Birmingham city council. It just wants to keep making sure nothing bothers the 250-hectare green area.

When Cleon was recording what to develop in the conservation area, he accidentally saw his high school friend who was crying in the park area. Cleon walked out of the conservation area and approached a woman sitting in the park.

"The chel? Sapa Cleon's.

"Cle..Cleon?" sahut Chelsea. He immediately rubbed the corner of his eyes and turned his face so that Cleon did not see the look on his face.

"You why?" Cleon sat himself next to the bright brunette girl.

"No, I'm not okay," Chelsea bowed her face.

Cleon quickly grabbed Chelsea's soft chin.

"Why is your cheek bruised like this?" ask Cleon.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry," Chelsea forced her smile, then she immediately stood up to get away from Cleon.

Cleon was chasing Chelsea's move because it looked like the girl had just been beaten up. One of Cleon's weaknesses was not being able to see a woman cry much less seeing the woman being hurt.

"Who hit you?" Cleon's blocking Chelsea's way.

"Cleon, step aside ! It's none of your business" tears seemed to fall on Chelsea's green bead.

"You can tell me, you were my high school friend" Cleon held Chelsea's shoulder.

Chelsea looked Cleon in the eyes. He immediately hugged the Cleon in front of him. Chelsea sobbing in Cleon's arms.

"Calm down !" Cleon rubbed Chelsea's back slowly.

"Cleon, sorry," Chelsea let go of his embrace.

"It's okay, let's sit there !" Cleon invited Chelsea to sit where they were sitting.

They were sitting on a park bench under a red maple tree. The leaves are falling because it is autumn.

"So why are your cheeks bruised and why are you crying?" Cleon looked at Chelsea sitting next to him.

"I was beaten up by my girlfriend, I mean now my ex-boyfriend" Chelsea said.

"And he hit you in the face?" Cleon looked at the pity of the woman before him.

Chelsea simply nodded and wiped away her increasingly rushing tears from her cheeks.

"Why did he do this to you?"

"If you don't want to tell me that's okay, I can understand" Cleon said softly.

"No, I can't hold this alone. I wanted to tell Alula but right now the problem is much bigger than mine. Living with Kaivan made him carry a heavy burden, I did not want to increase his burden by telling him about my problems," Chelsea smiled bitterly.

Cleon stared in admiration at the woman in front of him, because he knew that only Chelsea was loyal to be next to Alula since High School.

"I asked my boyfriend to go on a date, because at home I was having problems, but he refused to go on a date with me. I didn't force him, so I went here alone to calm my mind" Chelsea began to tell me.

"But, when I visited the mini golf course that was here, I saw her kissing another woman. I went up to him and told him who the woman was, but he got angry and beat me" Chelsea said.

"Is that son of a bitch still here?" Cleon asked furiously. It seems he was carried away by the Chelsea story.

"I think he's gone with that woman" Chelsea stared at the maple leaves falling from the tree.

"Cleon? Why should I fall in love, if in the end my heart hurts and breaks like this?" Chelsea looked at Cleon who was also staring at her.

"You don't say that ! Sometimes God tests us with the wrong kind of love, so that in the future we can be more careful in anchoring our love to someone," Cleon turned his gaze away, then look at the people who were having a selfie in the park.

"Now you can be sad, but there will be times when you will be happy too" he continued.

Chelsea's heart warmed with the words Cleon had spoken to her.

"And you really love Alula?" ask Chelsea.

Cleon. A few moments later he answered.

"All I know is I think about it all the time, I worry about it all the time, I want to be close to him, I want to protect him and I don't want him to live with anyone else. When she married Kai, my heart hurt even though I knew it was only a temporary marriage. But imagining him living one roof with another man made my heart hurt," Cleon smiled bitterly.

"Do you think I love Alula?" Reciprocity.

"I think yes. I just want to say fight to get Alula. He'll come to you if he's divorced with Kai, "Chelsea holds Cleon's hand to strengthen.

Chelsea and Cleon's eyes met, they stared at each other. Cleon first ended that look.

"It's cold, '" Chelsea put a coat on his body.

Cleon immediately removed the scarf around his neck, and he put it on Chelsea's exposed neck. While Chelsea just stared at Cleon who was busy wrapping his scarf.

"It's lucky that Alula was loved by men like Cleon. He's a good guy, handsome, smart, his career is brilliant. Truly the perfect man, the inner Chelsea in his heart.

"Yes, let's compress your wounds" Cleon stood up from his seat. He invited Chelsea to stop at the cafe next to the park to treat his wounds with ice cubes.
