Just Being a Doll Wife
2. Marriage Offers

Merilin Anastasya, at just 23 years old, replaced all of her father's roles as head of the family.

Mothers who are too surprised by the change in the situation after father's death, become often dreamy. He was still working and on the move, but sometimes his gaze was pushy and empty always caught in his eyes, visible as he walked down the sidewalk alone to work, and his eyes were on the sidewalk, or when in front of him there is food that he is ready to eat. The daydream always flies far away somewhere. Mother lost her father too much, until her common sense rejected the reality of father's death. Sometimes he still folds his clothes. Talking about my dad going to work.

And finally the accident happened, when the mother was about to go to work in a food stall. Mom got hit by a biker who was speeding. Even the driver runs away from responsibility. She was helped by pedestrians and rushed to the hospital.

Merilin falls down on the bedside of the hospital to find her mother in a coma for 3 days. The face that was aging due to the inner pressure was further hurting the girl's heart. Especially after realizing that the woman barely recognized anyone. From her mouth she only said her husband's name. Name of her husband. Tells about the meeting with her husband, and the sweet days when their family is still happy. He only keeps sweet memories in his memory.

Merilin had to bear all the long-term medical expenses of her mother which were not small in number. His tears dried up as he wept tiredly through life. Merilin, the newly blooming girl burst out, dimmed and withered by itself.

Until one day, the man she secretly liked came to take her to lunch. Between the tears, the man reached out to her. Little does it know what Merylin's suffering is. His senior is on campus, who is also his older brother's friend. He knew the secret of the Merylin family. It was Serge Alevando, the man who had already considered Merilin his savior angel. Even the high-paying job he now got was also because of it.

For several years he has harbored feelings that he might one day dare to express. Later, when he can sit straight in front of Serge without bringing all the pain of his life. When everything was normal and he felt it was appropriate to grab the man's hand.

“How is mother?” serge said with great attention.

“Good Sister, thank you for helping me find a special nurse.”

Because if not Harven who has to wait for mother because she herself has to work. He could set aside a portion of his salary to pay a special nurse. Because of Serge's help he gets a nurse at a rate he can still reach.

Serge gulped down his drink. Fix the clear glasses that cover her beautiful eyeballs. Watching every move Merylin made. There was something he wanted to say, but his voice was suffocating from his doubts. He recoiled his glass, expelling doubt, his heart still back and forth. Again touching his nose, the habit that he was having a panic attack.

Say no, say no. I'm confused!

“May do you want to get married?” Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief because God helped him to say the question that was already at the end of his tongue. His lips call for relief.

Deg.

Merylin's hands trembled, apart from her dewy coffee glass. That sudden question snatched his entire wits.

I was caught loving her secretly.

He felt so perfect hiding his feelings.

“Kak Ge, i.”.

Merilin stammered, her heart blossoming yet her wholesome thoughts slapped her on reality. Right now, you're not at all worthy of Serge. You will only be a burden wrapped around the man you love. Be aware of Mei, a barrage of arrows of consciousness stuck in her senses.

“I know how heavy you are to go through all this.” Serge's words kept Merilin from speaking. ”Actually I want to hit Brama if I meet him, but every time we meet I still can't hit him.” Laughing at his weak heart. Because he also knew how Merylin's older brother had to live a life of panting and performing in front of his in-laws.

Merilin smiled. Having only that touch of words from the person he likes, he already feels happiness. It has become a medicine to expel the air.

“But,” Serge grabbed his glass, sipped it slowly. Lay it out carefully before continuing the sentence. “Perhaps by getting married, at least you do not need to worry about financial problems.”

How could I say such words to this rock-hard girl. Serge again wallowed in turmoil.

Merilin is still listening. With his head bowed, there was a deep sense of shame in his heart.

Residential rent, maternal medical, Harven's school fees. All of that was always after Marilin. The girl knew how sad her life was.

But, with my condition like this, can I get married. I will only be a burden to my brother.

“May, Merylin, how? Do you want to get married.”

Merylin gasped in surprise when the second time the question was mentioned. His mind was soaring through the threshold of his consciousness.

“I..”

“But...” Serge cut in, because he looks guilty “Ah, never mind, assume I didn't say it, I don't want to attract you in this increasingly complicated life.”

Uh, what does that mean.

Between two people who are silent. Cafe waitresses passed by to deliver orders to another customer's desk. While the minds of both are anchored on two different things.

How about this, if Merylin is disappointed in me. Serge is at war with his conscience. If he thinks I'm lowering his pride.

Why is this brother, playing around with my feelings. Because he already knows I like him. The heart of Merilin that fell on the presumption.

For a long time the two communicated in silence with each other.

“Sorry yes May, I know how difficult your situation is. Sometimes just looking at it I can feel the weight so you.” Serge again warms Merilin's heart with his attention. His unstable thoughts finally pushed him to finish what he had started earlier.

Brother, if you say that I feel totally inappropriate for you.

“You who never thought of yourself.” The man continued his words. “You were happy when I just gave you a meal coupon in the office cafeteria. You're the one who's even still wearing the bag I gave you a few years ago.”

Merylin touched the bag on the table. Valuable items Serge's gift.

Since it was sister who gave it, not only this bag, the meal coupon was also a precious gift for me because it was a gift from brother.

“You must never use your hard-earned money for yourself. Mother who needs a lot of medical expenses, your sister with school fees and even your father's debt. All of it chasing you every month.”

Uh, it's true that it's my routine, heartbreaking expenses. But I love this bag and wear it for years and take care of it because it's a gift from brother. I smiled happily with the meal coupon in my hand, also because it was a gift from brother.

“Mei.” Serge grabbed Merylin's hand. Makes the girl's heart jump. “Do you want to get married to save your family.” Finally saying it again, base of Serge's own inner plan.

On the one hand this marriage will make Merilin free from the financial entanglement that surrounds it, but in other situations there is a new hell that will be faced by the girl in front of him.

Ah, whatever, the important thing is that I say first. Said Serge managed to strengthen the heart.

The head of Merilin reflexively nodded upon hearing Serge's question. With a chest that is pounding. The feeling of shame and unworthiness coupled with his senior felt like it just vanished with a change of happy feelings.

“True, do you want to marry Mr Rion?”

Merilin's eyes looked widened in shock.

Why from the mouth of his senior came out the name of a man who even if he saw it from a distance only Merilin always turned his face. Seeing that tall body he felt inferior. A handsome and cold Paras who was very opposite to his senior. The owner and boss at his place works Andez Corporationt. Just looking at his face made him feel intimidated.

What kind of situation is this? Why be Mr Rion? Isn't Serge the one who wants to marry me?
