Friend Bed

Your soul mate

⁇ ️ Two Years Later ️

A woman stands on the balcony of her apartment while staring at the beautiful Eiffel Tower, although far from where it stands but the light and sturdiness of the tower still looks charming, the tower that symbolizes a romance of the love story of two human beings increasingly makes his heart now feel so crowded. He then took the flat object in his hand, then nimbly opened a social media account and typed a name.

"Why can't I ever find your social media account? Also with the pecu*dang woman? Did you close yourself off after you found out I knew the truth about your relationship? Or you don't want me to know about your scandal behind my back? You guys are a really hypocritical couple."

The woman then shed her tears. 'God, why should I think of them again? It's been two years and I still can't forget my past? Come on, you must go on. They must have lived happily, I can also live happily. Why am I still like this?' muttered the woman while shedding tears.

'Why should I cry again? Oh no, please don't cry.'

'Come on you must go on.'

'Come on, you can do it, ' the woman muttered while wiping away her tears, until suddenly a hug stuck to her body.

"I love you" whispered a man who was hugging her.

"Oh.. E... Nathan."

"I love you, Cleo."

"Sorry Nathan, please let go of your embrace."

"Oh... I'm sorry," Nathan said, letting go of Cleo's embrace.

"You why? Are you crying?"

"Oh.. E.. Yeah." yeah."

"Thinking about that guy again?"

Cleo then shook her head. "No Nathan, I never thought about that br*hgsek guy again."

"Then why are you crying?"

"Papa... My sister Alvaro, she knows my new social media account, two days ago she said that my health has deteriorated and that she has been in the hospital twice in the last few months."

"So you're confused because of that?"

Cleo nodded. "So you want to go back to Indonesia?"

"Yes, I miss my parents so much but I don't want to meet that bre*gsek guy."

Nathan smiled and picked up a ring box in his pants pocket. "Will you marry me?" nathan asked who was only answered with a smile.

"Come on Cleo, enough rejection you've always done, almost two years you've always turned me down. Can you never fall in love with me? Or are you afraid I can't be a good father to Shane? Have you forgotten who accompanied you during your pregnancy? Who accompanied you when you gave birth? Who is always next to you when you cry? That's all I did because I love you both, I even considered Shane my real son while still in your womb. Does all that still not quite show how much I love you?"

"Okay, but can I ask you something?"

"Yes, what do you want to ask?"

"Our meeting is a coincidence or a coincidence?"

"What do you mean Cleo?"

"A few days after I arrived in Paris, you suddenly became a neighbor of my apartment, and after that I got a job that did not look at my status who was pregnant, she said, and it turns out that the owner of the company was one of your friends when he was in college in London. I'm sorry if I had to ask you this, but I don't think it's a coincidence. I'm sorry Nathan, I'm not accusing you, but it feels a little strange to me."

Nathan smiled then. "After I graduated from college I did plan to go to Paris to expand my parents' business in the culinary field because my twin did intend to live in France with her future husband, who is now in France, and I really didn't think that we could live in the same apartment. Then about you being able to work for a company regardless of your status is indeed your luck, Cleo. You know for yourself the views of Europeans and Indonesians about a marriage bond are different, so if you have the appropriate criteria to work for their company, your status is not a problem for them. Don't you realize all these coincidences show that I'm actually your soul mate? Then why are you still rejecting me, Cleo?"

Cleo just smiled wryly. "Come on Cleo, marry me. Let's go back to Indonesia, you can meet your parents, and there's no need to worry about avoiding that man because you're already mine. If she can live with another woman, why can't you? You should also be able to show that you can live happily without her, do you understand?"

Cleo slowly nodded her head. "Then do you want to accept my love?" nathan asked as he opened the ring box in front of Cleo.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Thank you Cleo!" nathan shouted and hugged Cleo.

"Sorry Nathan please don't hug me like this."

"Why?"

"Not muhrim."

"Oh, alright," Nathan replied with a smile.

'Finally I can have you, Cleo. Look, one day you'll fall in love with me, all I've done to get you is spy on everything that's going on in your life. I expected something bad must be going on in your life when I found out you were fighting with a woman in your apartment lobby, and then it happened that you ran away after you finished your graduation so I could figure out where you live here and give you a job, it was because I was spying on you, and it wasn't just a coincidence. Didn't I promise myself to get to you in various ways Nathan murmured with a wry smile.

A woman looked at the man who was standing and looked at the house next to her with a blank look.

"Sir Aleta, can we go home now?" said a voice that broke his daydream.

"Oh yeah we go home now, you're leaving for work soon, sorry if I've been troubling you."

"It's okay, sister, so it's like this also because it works for me and mom, right?" answered her sister while pushing her the wheelchair that Aleta was riding in.

Aleta was smiling too.

'Not that my sister, I became like this because of my obsession and selfishness that made my life and the relationship of two people who love each other ruined, and this is what I got. Paralysis and physical deformity in half of my body because some of the nerves in this body are damaged, I don't even get anything from my obsession and selfishness, except punishment from God. The punishment I feel is appropriate for me.'
