(And POV)
"Uncle, Auntie, why do you want to talk to me?" I ask.
I was facing Uncle Emil and Auntie Rachelle.
"I'll tell you straight Agus iho. You probably know that our family company is going to collapse. We need a big financier who can provide investment to save the company." Uncle said signaling me to sit down.
"Do you want to talk to someone or find a financier?" I asked and sat down.
"No, your Uncle and I want you to marry the only daughter of the Marchans'. Aerin Marchan." Auntie added so I was surprised but happy in secret.
Fate what is this ?!
"I'm sorry Agus Iho we really plan Aerin to marry our son Dart but because of an accident he's incomma now and the doctor says even if he wakes up he can forget other things. It takes time for your cousin Dart to come back and we can't wait him because the company will definitely disappear. " Uncle explained.
"We totally raised and took care of you. Because if it wasn't for us you wouldn't be where you are today. Just do it so that you can pay with us somehow." Said Auntie.
"Rachelle stop that. I know Agus will still follow us." Even Uncle.
"The Marchan family is so rich and powerful. Even if Aerin's parents die, she will still inherit too much. She's a big help to the family. Don't you have a girlfriend now?" Auntie added.
I sighed.
I didn't know I would be happy. The woman I love will be my wife. I can be with her. So even if I'm just a substitute for Dart for Aerin, I'll accept it.
"We'll give you time to think about this." Uncle said and stood up.
"I'm going to marry Aerin. It's up to you where and when." I said determined and stand up as well.
Aunt Rachelle smiled.
Uncle even tapped me on the shoulder before I passed him.
Aerin, I can be with you even for a short time, if not for the rest of my life, and at least I'm with you.
I have worked hard in all businesses to be worthy of you and now that I have been given the opportunity to be close to you I will not miss it!
*******
I'm about to enter the Majestix Company's Majestix Building for the victory party due to getting a new deal.
Majestix Company is worldwide famous financial tycoon and I am the youngest number one CEO of Majestix and this city.
"WOW AND HE'S HERE!" I heard shouting.
"HE LOOKS SO POWERFUL. HANDSOME AND SEXY." They added.
"HE IS A REAL GENIUS AND TACTICAL GUY IN HIS YOUNG AGE. THINK OF THAT. THE FALL OF THE MAJESTIX GROUP WAS THEN HE WAS STILL INVESTING AND IN SIX MONTHS THE COMPANY WAS BOOOOMING IMMEDIATELY. HE CAN START FROM SCRATCHES TO FANTASTIC WORKS!" I even heard their loud praises.
"PLUS WHEN HE BOUGHT EMPERIAL EVERYONE THOUGHT HE WOULD LOSE BUT LOOK HE DEVELOPED IT INTO A POPULAR AND SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS!".
"HE IS JUST A BUENDIA BASTARD BUT LOOK WHAT HE IS NOW!"
I was shaken.
"HE'S VERY PERFECT. BUT I HAVE NEVER HEARD THAT HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND. WHO IS A BEAUTIFUL AND LUCKY WOMAN HE WILL MARRY!" They added.
I smiled as I saw Aerin's face in my mind.
"I've already bought the things you want me to buy!" Jai stood next to me and walked with me.
"Have you sent it to Aerin yet?"
"Aerin's birthday party is tomorrow. You're too advanced." Comment by Jai.
"It's as if you're not used to it. Almost every birthday I'm the first to give a gift." I and breathe.
"I love what you give Aerin but she doesn't even know it's from you. You're so stupid." Jai said.
"The expensive flowers from Japan and the perfume from Paris." Jai added.
"Make sure you give Aerin those." I said and accelerated the walk.
I was about to pass a table but suddenly the person sitting there stood up so I collided with her.
And she is,
"Aerin ?!"I stuttered in shock.
"Oh, Agus good to see you." She stammered happily.
"Why..why are you here?"I stuttered.
"I just want to congratulate you. You are so great. CONGRATULATION!"She greeted me warmly.
This is all for you Aerin. This is all because of you. My success is you!
As long as I live, I only love and do anything for you!
"Thankyou Aerin."
*2 Months Later*
(Wedding Day)
Today is Aerin and I's wedding day.
This is really my dream. To marry her and be her husband. With her in the future and have a family with her.
Even I know when Dart wakes up and he'll take you from me.
I'm not sure but this is my chance to be with you.
Temporary gift of fortune to me.
"NOW I PRONOUNCE YOU HUSBAND AND WIFE." Said the priest.
Aerin closed her eyes so I slowly kisses her lips.
You are now my wife until ....
********
(Our Mansion)
I happily entered the house. Here I will be with Aerin.
I was about to go up the stairs then,
"Agus!" Auntie calls me.
I was immediately nervous. Why is she here? I do not know. Every time she calls me I get nervous. She had nothing good to say except about Aerin.
"Aunt what is it?" I asked when I approached her.
"You like Aerin don't you? You love her?" It's a straightforward question.
"Aunt!"
"Dart has woken up and he has amnesia. But his always open mouth is Aerin. Dart loves Aerin. So stop your illusion." Said Auntie.
I was glad because Dart woke up but I was sad for my love for Aerin.
"How about the marriage with Aerin?" I asked.
"Your marriage to Aerin? Just to save our company but don't touch her and erase your liking for her. Once Dart returns, you and Aerin will divorce immediately." Aunt reminded.
"Aerin comes from a rich family. It's just an illusion that she'll likes you. Just like you, she just did the wedding for Dart. You're just a bastard, you don't belong to Aerin, Dart is her thing!" Aunt added. Making sure that I won't forget.
"Don't be a dog barking at the moon. You should be grateful if it wasn't for us you're not here now. It's not because of Dart's blood you're dead now." She continue.
I remember everything Dart did to me since childhood. Ever since he saved my life when I ran out of blood when I saved him from the abyss and I fell.
It was his birthdays that we shared gifts.
At times he would defend me whenever Aunt beat me.
Dart is my cousin, brother and my best friend!
"You know Dart loves you. I hope you don't forget everything he did to you. Don't steal the woman he loves!" Auntie said and left.
I did everything I could for Aerin.
I'm trying all my best to be the best so that I can love Aerin but Dart is my beloved cousin, if Dart love her then I can't love Aerin.
I can't love my wife!
