The Marriage For A Reason
Chapter 2

I let the shower flow, I rubbed every inch of my body while cursing my stupidity and lamenting my fate.

After a long time in the bathroom I went back out to pick up my clothes which were all scattered on the floor of the room.

I went back to wearing all my clothes and now my tears broke until I woke up the man who had been asleep since.

"Hey miss.why are you crying? Did something bad happen to you?" he asked like he was innocent.

"Sir, do I not deserve to cry after all this has happened?

I've lost everything even the most precious thing in my life, and the master who's taken it all" I said half-screaming.

"Don't cry be patient for a moment, we'll talk about this carefully after I clean up" the man said.

After that he walked to the bathroom and I was still sitting on the side of the bed, I didn't know what to do.

Angry, disappointed and ashamed of oneself mixed into one.

The man came out of the bathroom and walked to the walk in closet to get a change of clothes.

After neat he came back to me who was crying felt my slump.

He pulled a blanket over the bed where we had done one thing last night.

The man's eyes widened in shock as if in disbelief with the patches of blood that were on top of his white bed sheet and some that were splattered on the blankets that wrapped our bodies last night.

He sat down next to the bed with both hands holding his head, and he grabbed his own hair.

"I'm sorry I ruined your future" he said filled with regret.

But all has happened like rice has become porridge, all has been destroyed without waste.

While I was unable to answer, I tried to gather all the strength but I was weak and I lost.

"I didn't know you were a virgin and I thought you were like a girl in general in a nightclub.

I will be responsible for you" he said.

"My name is Alexander Pulman" handing me a business card.

"And what's your name, miss?" ask Alex

"My name is Siera Abigail" I answered briefly.

"Siera Abigail.a beautiful name" Alex said.

"A beautiful name but not as beautiful as the beautiful story of my life" I said in my heart.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine I will take responsibility for my actions Siera" he continued.

"Sorry Mr Alex, I don't yet understand the responsibility of what you mean?

Don't you add more burden that I have to bear, honestly I want to die just feel and all this is not fair to me" I shouted because the inner turmoil can not stand anymore.

"Can we speak calmly so that all problems can be solved?" alex said to ease my emotions.

"I should how sir? can it all come back?" tears break.

Alex hugged me and tried to calm me down.

"I'll marry you Siera" she whispered in my ear.

I got goosebumps hearing her voice and honestly I wasn't ready to get married.

I still want to continue my studies that will soon be finished, and for me getting married is not an easy thing because I am determined to get married once in a lifetime.

"Married??" my many.

"Yes, we're getting married soon" Alex replied, nodding her head.

"Sorry sir, I can't accept your offer yet" I said as I took a deep breath.

"For now I just need time to think and calm down for a moment" I replied.

"Where are you going Siera, let me take you" Alex said.

"For a while I want to go home to my parents to tidy up all my belongings, after that I have to find a new place to live" I replied.

"Why did you have to move to a new place? You got a problem with your parents?" ask Alex.

I took a deep breath and tried to momentarily close my eyes, momentarily gathering strength for me to be able to tell a story and share a bit of my story with her, perhaps giving me some relief.

"My parents passed away a month ago, the company they started with great difficulty has turned to my greedy uncle's hands and our house will soon be confiscated" I started talking and Alex listened to my story while lowering his face.

"I'm now a final semester student who doesn't know the continuation because I haven't paid the semester money this year, all that burden that forced me to drink last night, sir" I continued.

"With your age right now it's too heavy a burden for you to shoulder Siera" Alex said, patting me on the shoulder.

"Maybe all of this is God's destiny for me, there's no way I can afford to avoid it" I replied.

Alex just keeps his face down not knowing what's on his mind right now, maybe he's feeling sorry for me, poor girl.

"I'm going to take you to pack up and you can stay in this apartment for a while and I'm going to live in my mansion" Alex said.

"But Mr___" I'm not done yet Alex cut the conversation.

"Don't argue Siera, you're enough to comply with all my requests as if I were making amends to you" Alex said, staring me in the face.

"Alright, I have no other choice right now" I said.

"Let's go now" he asked.

We both set out for a house full of a million memories, a house filled with jokes and laughter, here my parents raised me with love.

But soon this house is only a memory, my tears again dripped from the corner of my eyes.

With my heart in mind, I looked at every corner of this house and saw how my parents smiled as they welcomed me back home.

I looked at the frames displayed on every wall of the house, the photos of the happy smiling father and mother, making my heart even more sliced.

Alex helped pack my things and put my clothes in a suitcase.

After everything was done, Alex helped me get things into his car.

And the only treasure I have left that I can use right now is the one that my father bought me as my birthday present a few months ago.

And I plan to sell this beloved, memorable car to pay for my college tuition.

After everything is ready I ask Alex to come back first and I still want to be here for a while, enjoying the remaining happiness.

But the man did not want to leave but he kept me company like he could not bear to see my current situation.

I sat on the couch where my parents and I used to spend time together every weekend.

I cried so much, if time could be repeated I wanted to go back in that day.

Alex hugged me and gave me strength and I felt warmth in his arms.

Could he be the angel God sent to help me when I was down?

Or will he just make me worse and fall deeper?

Seriate....
