Sudden Meeting
In one of the big shops, Lunar is busy choosing suitable clothes to wear, assisted by several shop employees so that her job becomes easier. Actually, she wouldn't be this busy if it wasn't for Arkan who asked her to buy as much as she could.
The man said that he didn't want to spend too long just waiting for her to choose clothes. Therefore, the kind Arkan had agreed to go with her, that was what he had been told in the car earlier. There is no work that Arkan can do other than go with her, because the bodyguards still faithfully accompany they are.
“The clothes you are wearing right now are perfect,” said one of the employees, showing an expression of joy.
Lunar just replied with a smile, because she was too tired to change clothes. She also glanced at the clothes still hanging in the employee's hand, forming a long line. All of that she had to try on to make sure it fit her body.
But... isn't this a bit too much? She couldn't hold back any longer at this rate. Can she figure out a way to get all the clothes done ASAP? Just seeing how many clothes lined up was a headache. She who is busy here, must obey the man who is relaxing there. Annoying.
"You can wrap it all up. Just tell him I've got them all. I'm pretty sure that everything suits me. Hurry up, pack it all up for me.” Lunar pleaded while gently pushing the employees one by one.
In the end, all the employees did what their store's main customer asked them to do. Lunar was getting ready for Arkan's approaching arrival.
“Are you done? I'm tired of waiting for you. You've been too long."
Who made everything have been too long? If it wasn't for her to try on all the clothes, they might have gone home a long time ago. Lunar was really annoyed right now and wanted to scratch the face of a man who didn't feel guilty after making the situation this way.
Lunar accidentally saw a woman behind Arkan while talking. She immediately turned around by making Arkan a hiding place.
Why at a time like this I met with Sora? thought Lunar.
Arkan was stunned to see Lunar holding his body, didn't even want to let go when he tried to get away.
"What are you doing? Don't waste my time and we'd better get back."
Arkan who was about to leave made Lunar have to immediately prevent him. She grabbed the man's arm and led him into the locker room. There whereabouts would be safe and would not be known, at least until later when Sora was no longer in the store.
"Why did you pull me into this narrow room?" Arkan looked displeased.
Arkan who was about to get out of there was prevented by a hand clinging to the door. He gulped violently as his position was blocked by Lunar's two hands. Is the woman in front of him really crazy? Take him to a narrow room and trap him with both hands.
“Ssstt...” Lunar hissed while placing her index finger on his lips. She tried to penetrate the sound that was outside.
Arkan took a deep breath. They were very close, making him even more frustrated. What did this crazy woman in front of him really want? Besides, why is his heartbeat so fast? It must be because of the stuffy one and a half meter room, right? No. In fact, in this locker room has a special air conditioner. Maybe, because they entered the room in a hurry earlier.
Just a conversation of an employee serving customers. Lunar could hear Sora's voice from where she was standing now, her sister was very happy with a laugh that was more graceful than what she normally heard.
Lunar moved to the other side while watching herself in the mirror. "The customers out there are my sister," she said.
Arkan who was already relieved was finally able to stand straight, but what he heard just now clearly disturbed him. Lunar has an sister? She never really found out about Lunar's life because she thought their relationship would end eventually.
“Isn't that great? You can meet your sister."
Lunar smiled briefly before the curve in her lips faded. "I miss Sora and also my parents, but it seems that now the feeling of longing can't be cured. They must be very angry and disappointed that I ran away from the wedding. Perhaps, at this time they hold shame because of my actions. You will laugh at me if you know the reason I ran away from marriage. Nico slept with another woman while we were getting married. Isn't that ridiculous?"
In fact, only Lunar smiled broadly after telling the pain she was experiencing. Meanwhile for Arkan what was told to him could not be decorated with a big smile.
It's unimaginable what it would be like if he was positioned as a Lunar, somehow his heart would hurt to find out that Raya was having an affair. Must be very painful and so is what Lunar feels.
"Don't you know whose wife you are currently?"
Arkan pulled a woman who wasn't too far from his reach so he could be close to her. "You don't need to hide. Take advantage of me for one year of our marriage like I used you. At least, I'm more handsome and rich than your Nico and can make him regret having an affair behind your back.”
Without warning, he led Lunar out of the dressing room. They were immediately confronted by a woman who was most likely Sora. He embraced Lunar tenderly without minding all the stares that were directed at them.
“L-lunar?” Sora was shocked as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Lunar is speechless when suddenly faced with the person she wanted to avoid. She was also surprised to receive Arkan's treatment. The man wrapped her arms around her waist tightly as if not allowing her to escape. She widened her eyes even more when she found Nico back there walking towards them.
The traitorous man dared to appear before her. She still can't accept what happened on her wedding day that hurt her feelings. Only now could she fully digest Arkan's words earlier, she really had to take advantage of their marriage to make Nico regret what he had done.
"Aren't you Lunar?" Nico who had just arrived frowned.
Lunar chuckled at the words that came out of Nico's mouth. It seemed that there were already so many women lined up that it was hard to recognize her face. It's really very sad, it would be even sadder if she didn't run away from the wedding.
"Yes. I'm Lunar. Are you having trouble remembering me, Nico?”
“What are you doing here, Lunar?”
Sora who was engulfed in shock first interrupted the gaze of the former partner who was speaking. She glanced at the man standing next to her sister an embrace that looked so tight it made her confusion even more.
"Then, this man?"
As far as Sora knows, her sister doesn't have a close male friend, let alone a man who looks handsome and also has a neat appearance. She who has often seen her husband's business partners and has not visited famous shops once can tell the difference between an ordinary appearance and a classy appearance. As her current vision it was certain that the man embracing her sister was a rich man. She just may not be able to buy what is attached to the man's body.
Lunar stuttered not knowing how to explain the situation where she was married. Should she say that Arkan is her husband? But if Sora knew, for sure she would not stay silent, and moreover her parents could also be surprised to hear the news of her marriage. What should she do now?
“I never thought I would meet Lunar's sister. Introduce, I am Arkan, Lunar's husband."
“H-husband?” said Sora and Nico in unison.
Sora said first after, “Lunar, what did I hear right? You are married?"
"Yes. I'm married to Arkan."
“H-how is that possible? We have to talk." Sora pulled her sister away so she could talk privately.
Meanwhile Arkan and Nico were left alone there. For some reason the atmosphere turned tense as they shook hands. Disgust abounded around them so that employees who wanted to say that the groceries had been wrapped had to be discouraged. The employee chooses to just wait until the owner of the goods finished with the man business.
“Are you really married to Lunar?” Nico still doesn't seem to believe the news of the wedding.
“You don't have a TV or anything? Then, you have left very important news." Arkan let go of the handshake. "Everyone knows that Arkan Gray is married."
Nico stared. Who doesn't know a well-known business owner in their city? All this time he only knew the name Damien Gray as someone who was already rich, did not know that the man had an heir. How can Lunar be related to a rich family of seven generations?
