Forced to Marry an Old Man
TMPT - 37

Raul's mood was good in the morning. Evident from how the young man in the morning invited Lana to breakfast together in the park, even bothering to have the waiter put a table containing many decorations.

Lana glistened at the fruits that were on the table. His eyes looked at Raul hoping to be fed soon, but the young man was propping up his chin instead.

"Raul?"

He smiled mysteriously. "Lana's getting fat."

Like a meteor suddenly fell on his head, Lana was stunned and hit mentally. As a girl, obviously Lana was sensitive to the word 'fat'.

Spontaneously Lana felt her face, especially her cheeks, to make sure whether it was true or not.

"Lana doesn't believe it? Lana's chin is two."

Lana's life was suddenly taken away. His tears suddenly flooded not because of Raul but because of his disappointment in himself.

Goddamnit! A village girl only had the beauty to survive in the city. How could he ruin all that from eating too much?

No, it's not Lana's fault! It's Raul's fault that too often feeds him good food even though Lana does not refuse!

"Loh, Lana why cry? I like Lana fat."

Lana kept crying because the man's seduction was all a lie.

"I was on purpose" said Raul, pinching Lana's cheek. "I was from yesterday wondering how Lana if fat tones. It's getting cute."

"Lying," Lana replied involuntarily. He continued to cry because now having to diet or destroyed was the only weapon he had.

"Lana, honey, beat me up." Raul directed Lana's face to look at him. "Cowok doesn't like Korean girls."

"Eh?"

"Korean girls are pretty, but like french fries. The only ones who like them are women. If the man likes a beautiful woman who 'there is content'."

Lana's face was instantly red. The way Raul emphasized the word 'there's content' it really sounded lewd until Lana pulled a face, hurriedly turning away.

Hah, already. Don't listen to lies.

"I don't want to eat anymore" muttered Lana.

"Heeeeeeeeh? I prepared food for Lana."

"Come on. Lana's cute if fat."

"I'm not fat!"

"Stomachy." Raul laughed, suddenly pinching Lana's waist. "It's fat."

"RAUL!"

Raul pulls his chair closer, and begins to hold the fork. Looks like she's ready to feed Lana some food.

But Lana doesn't want to. He doesn't want to get fat. Anyway don't want to.

"Lana, there's a woman who's fat she's ugly." Raul pulled Lana's chin slowly while his other hand thrust out a piece of mango. "There are also women who are fat and even beautiful. Lana is the second type. No need to be so skinny."

Lana closed her mouth and shook her head. "No want. I want to be skinny."

The young man even really enjoyed Lana's whining as if it was a fun comedy. Raul remains urgent, hoping that Lana will continue to eat to grow.

When the actual spectacle was not worth the child of the old wife of the homeowner and the new wife of the owner made out, everyone just kept silent without comment.

But the Goddess did not like to let all those things happen. The goddess can see that Raul is slightly changed than usual.

No matter how much Raul likes his toys, he will never sit around laughing at his toys rebelling. Raul hates being rejected, hates being given the word 'no' even if it's just a joke.

But he laughed as if he was enjoying Lana.

"Mom, Mom's guest said it's up ahead. I'll bring it in?" said the servant who approached the Goddess.

The smile on the face of the Goddess instantly flourished. His eyes that had dimmed back shine when he turned his head. "Take Lana get her. That's his family."

"Good, Mom."

The Goddess's hatred for Lana was very strong ever since she captured Raul's attention. If only she could, now the Goddess would kill her.

But Raul will be more angry if it happens, so Dewi is quite satisfied when he saw the look on Lana's face now.

The smile that had adorned his face instantly dimmed hearing that his family 'come' from the village, only to 'see' his condition.
