Forced to Marry an Old Man
TMPT - 5

At least, leaving the house was not as scary as meeting the old man. Now Lana just needs to survive by obeying the words of Raul who seems to see Lana as a pet.

It'sit's okay. Anything but being with the old man.

"Ohiya, Lana." Raul in the front seat of the car looks at him backwards. "Lana's drunken vehicle? The journey takes five hours."

Lana shakes her head even though she doesn't know. How could he know that Lana's whole life only lived in the village. The only time Lana gets in the car is the angkot ride time, which is usually ten fifteen minutes at most.

Lana thought, she'll be fine. But an hour later, the car was forced to stop because Lana was vomiting until her stomach hurt.

"No pa-pa, no pa-pa." Raul moved to the back seat, patting his busy back vomiting in a plastic bag. "Sir, buyin Lana medicine first in the pharmacy."

The driver got out of the car, went to buy drugs at the pharmacy that they deliberately stopped by. Lana's body limp not playing. He didn't know that drunk vehicles could be this heavy. It feels much heavier than vomiting when sick.

Heads circling.

"Nyender is here."

Because it was too dizzy, Lana did not even care when Raul hugged her. All he cared about was his feeling slightly improved while lying in that embrace.

Of course, when Lana did, Raul smiled. Either people feel weird or wrong about it, but frankly, Raul really likes— very much - really likes weak girls.

Raul loves caring for women who can't take care of themselves. Which if the way he easily tripped, if he felt a little pain he cried.

Hence, Raul had been attracted to this girl ever since she fainted just because Raul was whispering nosy.

"Hello, Ma." And Raul volunteered to do anything for him, now. "It's like a slow trip, Ma, because Lana's vomiting. Mama don't wait around."

Raul just smiles, doesn't reply but turns off the call. At least for now, Raul doesn't plan on doing much.

After taking the medicine, it turns out that Lana remains heavily drunk. His sitting position changed to a lying position on Raul's thigh, repeatedly grimacing and vomiting.

Even when he arrived in the city, the direction the car was headed changed to the hospital. Raul asks Lana to be treated there last night, while Raul returns home to fulfill his promise to Lana.

"Mas Raul." Raul's servant could only stare at his master as the young man injected something in his stepfather's infusion liquid.

"Wage the punishment for buying people who don't want to be bought." Raul smiled casually and turned away just like that. "Please, Lili, Papa won't die. Except the angel of death."

It was just something small but enough to make him unable to get out of bed, let alone to take care of his frightened new wife.

"Lily." Raul squatted rubbing his dog while talking to his servant. "The guy's name can't torture women. Aye, right? The girl is small, sweet, delicate. Must be loved."

Lili simply looked away, choosing not to comment.

The words of his boss were indeed very soft and sweet, but the expdsi of him and his hand stroking the dog somehow felt scary.

"Well, Bombom, you're at home all right. I'll go first" Raul told the dog.

Of course, she'll go back to the hospital to see Lana.
