Marrying a Young CEO

27

The pain in the head is so painful. It felt like my eyes were reluctant 'to open for the sake of greeting the world. However, I still forced to open my eyes, slowly biasing the light through which made my net have to adjust the incoming light. After being able to adjust to the light, my gaze led to the entire room which was in a white mixed gray that looked very foreign.

"Where am I? Did Devan save me? But, this room is so foreign, obviously it's not at home." I spoke slowly while still scanning the dominant room in white and gray.

"Shh." I grimaced when I wanted to move more it turned out that there was a bandage attached to the forehead bandaging the wound that was still wet.

I wondered. If, not Devan then who saved me? But, it turns out that there are still good people in this world who still want to help people who are in trouble.

"I'd better take a shower, it looks like I've been asleep for a long time" I said, then rushed to the bathroom. It just so happened that clothes were prepared for me. How good they are, I will thank you for a moment.

After a few minutes, I finished the routine I used to do. All of my body was numb, probably the effect of jumping out of the car and falling asleep on a comfortable mattress.

"Huu, if Devan knew I jumped out of a car like a super hero, he would be proud. Because I can save myself." I said softly and smiled to myself as I imagined Devan's admiring face.

Until a while later I realized, how is the kunyuk one? Is she okay? Eating regularly? Hm, if you knew Za, Devan is not okay right now.

"Ah, after I thank you I'll go home and meet Devan. He must be busy looking for me." Then I got out of this room and headed downstairs. I was on the second floor.

"Eh, Miss just woke up. I'm sorry, Auntie just wanted to wake up, miss," a maid said as she passed Elza on the steps.

It makes Elza confused why they use English. Wait, they're bule, astagah. I'm where this is why I'm in a different place. Don't tell me I'm abroad. No, that's not possible.

"No problem. Oh, I want to ask you where we are now. Eum, which country?" deg-degan. Hopefully not in the land of unclean.

"We're in America now, Miss. In the city of San Francisco. Why?" the waiter asked a little confused.

Mampus, you're Elza. Play you too far, how to go home. Who does not know San Francisco? The city is located in the bay area and adjacent to the sea is one of the favorite destinations of tourists in the United States.

Residential buildings in San Francisco are quite unique because the architectural style has strong Victorian characteristics.

The main landmark of the city of San Francisco which is always crowded by tourists is the Golden Gate which is a bridge that connects two islands, namely, and oh one more thing that we should not miss if we visit this city is that we do not forget to take the tram. Elza, you're a long way from Devan and your parents now.



I shook my head to dispel the information that had suddenly appeared in my head without being asked.

"O-oh, alright, thanks," I replied slowly. Still can't believe that I was saved by the Americans. What, why could it be, Bali and America are so far apart. Oh, naw! How long have I fainted.

"Oh, where is your master?" ask again. However, I was already able to neutralize the sudden heartbeat of the marathon without being asked.

"Master, be in the company now. In about fifteen minutes, you'll be home" the maid replied, looking at the clock on her wrist.

"Eum, okay."

"Then, please go to the dinner table Miss the food has been prepared for Miss," said the waiter kindly. I just nodded and followed his steps towards the dining table because the house was so big I was afraid of getting lost and not being able to go home again.

***

The roar of the car engine sounded from the outside that made a girl who was none other than Elza a little distracted. However, he did not budge from where he sat— to eat his lunch.

Pace ...! taps ...! taps ...!

The sound of footsteps clashing with the floor sounded so clear. Elza looked at the direction where the voice came from. Up ahead was a man who had a very handsome face walking elegantly towards him.

Elza was silent for a moment. Did he think he saved his life? Elza thinks the answer is yes. Elza was still silent, looking at the man who was getting closer. The man's stature is high, has a firm jaw and chest that field is so professional according to Elza. But he's not interested in it one bit.

Elza then stood up from where she was sitting when the man stopped right in front of her. The man had gray eyeballs, no smile on his handsome face making Elza a little uncomfortable.

"Hello sir, thank you for saving me" Elza said after a moment of silence.

"Hm, sit down and continue your lunch" the man replied. Elza just nodded then sat back and so did the man. Moments later the servants prepared food for the host.

There is no conversation created between them there are only the clang of spoons clashing against each other. Elza who was used to this kind of situation did not blame him too much.

"Aron." Suddenly a baritone voice sounded from before Elza. He looked at the handsome man in front of him before nodding.

"Elza," replied Elza as she was. Then continued his eating event as well as a handsome man named Aron.

Aron Keysha is the only son of Kriss Keysha and Amira Keysha, one of America's most successful entrepreneurs. Aron himself is a young CEO who is famous among business people. Maybe Devan knows this guy. Aron is 28 years old, a year older than Elza and four years older than Devan. He found Elza while returning from Bali after the inauguration of the resort there because his company invested in the development. He took Elza with him to America and gave her the best care. For a week, Elza was in intensive care, fortunately she did not experience a concussion due to a hard impact on her head. Aron doesn't know why he brought a woman with him to live in his private mansion. However, it is very good because she will make him a wife so that there is someone to look after and love her son, even though Aron has only met her once but she is already in love with Elza. Despite the fact that Elza has married herself heedlessly, especially the woman in front of him is pregnant may not be aware of him and thankfully this woman did not miscarry while trying to escape from the criminals, he said, that fact does not make him dislike Elza even he is very accepting of the condition, this also makes Aron impressed with the courage of Elza in survival.

"There's something I want to tell you, we met in the living room" Aron said after finishing his lunch. He came home quickly just wanting to talk about this to Elza after hearing that he had awakened.

Elza who heard this only nodded in response. Elza finished her meal quickly.

...

Here I am now, staring at a beautiful girl who was sitting waiting for what I was about to say.

Ever since I first decided to bring her back I've been figuring out all the background of this woman, the woman I found passed out a week ago on the island of the Gods of Bali. His body was so weak his forehead was bleeding. I think he was in the process of escape. However, I had no intention of asking about his personal matters, because I already knew that at that time he was on the run from people who had malicious intentions towards him.

"I want to ask you for help" I said after a moment of silence looking at him.

"What's that?" he replied casually without being affected by my super duper cold gaze.

"Tomorrow, accompany me to meet my parents and Keysha's extended family." I convey what I want to say. Want it or not, I'll take it.

"Alright, this is my return because you helped me. After that, I will return to Indonesia. Remember that! I have a husband!" She stressed that she had a husband.

I'm not surprised to learn that, her husband is a CEO just like me. I was quite angry with the man for not being able to take care of his wife the beautiful woman beside him was so targeted by her ex-husband's lover, but there was no meaningful action for the perpetrator in the slightest.

"Alright, this is just a deal. After all I have someone I love." 'That's it, you.' I can only call it in my heart, for now when the time comes I will say it out loud.

"Okey, ah yes. Can you lend me a cell phone? I wanted to contact my family, I was afraid they were worried," he said, a bit hesitant, but I kept telling a maid to give me a cell phone.

After he got it. He thanked her and gave a smile to the maid. Just this time I saw someone who was so friendly to anyone. Although, they are different. Are Indonesians like all this? So sociable.

"Thank you, this. I've used it." Elza handed the phone back to the waiter who was still waiting for her.

"You just take that phone to communicate with me" I said after watching him for a long time.

"Oh, okay. Then I have to thank you" he said with a smile.

Afterwards, I immediately left the mansion without saying anything. Because work has called me.

...

I think what he wanted to say turned out he asked for help to accompany him to meet his parents. I see, if this must be a matter of fighting for the inheritance. If he doesn't get a partner he won't be the legal owner of Keysha Group. Luckily, Dad told Elza about the famous company. Unbeknownst to Elza, that it can be handled Aron very easily without getting a prospective wife because she has been married once.

Uh, but. If he already has the person he loves why should I be the one he chooses? Is their relationship not acceptable? Ah, it's just a deal. Elza, did not know if the decision he took would be a bombardment for him later on.

I sent the serpent a message. Remembering him, for a while I will be here, a total of three weeks. I hope Devan can wait. I have also told her that I am fine and will return after a month to teach the witch a lesson. He thought the woman had won. Ck, it's not that easy.

I feel sorry for Devan, he will miss me. But this is the best. I must return the favor to my helper.

"Mrs ...!"

The cry of a little child attracted the attention of everyone sitting in the living room. All wearing fancy clothes. Up ahead was a pair of women and men standing with stiff faces.

"He thinks you're his mother, you look like my late wife."

Aron's confession surprised Elza. Is correct? So, the woman he loved was his late wife.

"Eh, it's dear. Don't run away" said Elza, capturing the boy into his arms, which shocked everyone. Because, Elza's face is so similar to their daughter-in-law who has gone missing—Elis Jenica.

"Mama, why did the new old one come? Dimitri won't be naughty anymore. Dimitri promised, Ma." slowly the boy's tears were shed that made Elza's heart ache. Then, Elza again grabbed the boy to calm him down.

Elza stood up from her crouching position with Dimitri still in her arms. Aron who saw Elza who was so attentive to his son felt touched. However, he was still self-conscious if he could not have the woman standing next to him. She had a husband like she said before. Elza also experienced a planned kidnapping of ex-lover Devan—suami from Elza.

"You come here. Bring my man-to-be here." A call from Kriss Keysha awakens Aron from his daydream. He then invites Elza to meet his parents.

Everyone looked at Elza with a judgmental view. A beautiful woman also looked at Elza with a strange look.

"Come, Son. We're so glad you came back here. You know Dimi misses you so much" said a middle-aged woman who Elza believes is Aron—'s mother Amira Keysha.

Elza, who heard this, looked at Aron. The man only nodded briefly in response.

"Hello, Aunt. My name is Elzania Saputri Wijaya. It can be called Elza." Elza introduced herself very politely. Although the hateful gaze of some family members made Elza tremble a little afraid that later she would be skinned. But he still behaves normally.

"Ah, you are the only daughter of Ali Subrata Wijaya and Shinta Yunita, yes?" asked Aron's father a little surprised to hear the fact. It made Elza slightly wrinkle her eyebrows. However, still nodding he remembered that they were the business associates of the Father.

"Yes, right Uncle," replied Elza kindly.

"How are your parents? I heard they were in New Zealand recently," Mr. Kriss Keysha continued.

"Allhamdulilah, they're good, Uncle. Thank you for asking my parents" replied Elza again. He looks more relaxed now.

"Thank God, how's your husband? I'm sorry, Uncle didn't come when you got married" said Mr. Kriss Keysha again, much to everyone's surprise. It turned out that the woman who was so similar to their late daughter-in-law had married.

"He's kind. No problem, Uncle," replied Elza smiling. Because someone recognized him here.

"You better rest and enjoy your vacation here. Later, Uncle will tell your parents," he continued.

Elza smile. Then followed the servant who had been ordered to escort him to the resting place. Not to forget, Dimitri is still faithful in his arms. It turned out that the boy fell asleep because he was so happy to meet again with the mother who had not met for a long time.

After Elza. The room was quiet again. Aron was sitting right in front of Mom and Dad. He looked at some of his family members who were staring at him with a hard-to-read look.

"You can go, we have something to talk to Aron about!" pinta Amira is gentle to a nuclear family member consisting of her youngest sister who is two years older than Aron. And some other core members. They slowly returned to their rooms.

"What was that, Brother Aron recognizes another man's wife as a future wife."

"God, he introduced her to us as his future wife when she was married, just like that. I think there's a big joke he wants to do."

The whisper did not bother Aron and his parents. Then they spoke after they all left the living room.

"Dad recognized her?" tanyanya to the point.

"Yes, when Elza married Dad was invited. However, because of the position of Father at that time was abroad so that he could not attend it. Her husband's name is Devandra Adiguna Prasetyo-your competitor!" answer Kriss Keysha. Without the father telling him, Aron knew the truth.

"If you want to marry her. That doesn't seem possible. Because her parents and husband would not allow much more than Elza. He must not want to." This time Amira opened her voice.

"But, what if Aron erases his memory?Does she want to be with her husband?" aron asked slowly which made his parents look at each other.

"That's very vile, dear. You have no pity for Elza? For your personal interest are you willing to sacrifice her happiness?" amira asked, shaking slowly. The omens did not approve the son's statement.

"Dimitri needs the figure of a mother, Ma. Elza is very similar to Elis and looks Dimitri instantly familiar with him in seconds. Aron knew, Aron was just a little late. For Elza is Elis who was brought back by the Lord to return to Aron's arms. Only, Aron is not fast. Aron needs to have Elza!" concluded Aron with a sharp tone yes make both parents back shook their heads.

"Son, there's still another woman out there. Not Elza, you don't know how her husband is yet."

"If her husband is great. He must have found his wife here. However, no! She doesn't care about it because she just loves her boyfriend." Aron revealed this which made his parents a little surprised.

"Huf! Dad doesn't know about that. However, you need to remember that Devan—suaminya will not stay silent. He has figured out Elza's position now. You know, he knows everything. Only, he had promised Elza that he would pick her up after a month? Because of what, he wants to find all the evidence of his ex-girlfriend's crimes that got Elza kidnapped until you found her" said Kriss Keysha, who made Aron disturbed, it turns out that Elza's husband has known everything he just kept quiet to avenge everything. How influential is Devan? He only heard his name. But never wanted to know about him.

"Hm!" Afterwards Aron left his parents who could only look at each other.

"Hopefully he didn't do anything stupid. We can't do anything when it comes to feelings" Amira said calmly.

"Alright, Ma. Papa is sure Aron will not do anything that will hurt himself." replied Mr. Kriss Keysha.

"Hopefully."
