Chapter 5 - Chapter 5:Forced Matrimony

Two weeks passed, and today Evelyn has become Casper's wife because this morning they had made the solemnity promise together with Shandra and Arsha. Their parents decided to marry them both on the same day because Shandra and Arsha had planned to get married for a long time, but because of the wrong room, Evelyn and Casper had to get married too because she was pregnant. 

This evening, they held a wedding party at a famous hotel in Batam city. All expenses are borne by Casper and Arsha. Evelyn Never guessed that her husband was rich, but that didn't interest him at all. For her, that man is a disaster, because after this her career will fade, And gossip about her starting to spread.

Evelyn stood beside Casper with a friendly smile greeting the guests, as well as Shandra and Arsha, they looked very happy. She wore a white and gold dress, as did Shandra, while Casper and Arsha wore yellow and white suits. 

Evelyn's eyes were fixed on one of the guests who were already familiar to her. That guest was Callum, her former lover who had married another woman. Her heart hurt so much, seeing the man she loved happy with another woman while she had to marry a man she didn't love at all. 

Callum walked over to Evelyn and Casper while Holding his wife's hand. The man looked handsome with a face very similar to Casper's, he wore a black suit and combed his hair in a Pompade style while his wife wore a gold evening dress and wore makeup rather thick. 

"Evelyn," said Callum, giving Evelyn a friendly smile.

"Do you know each other?" Casper asked, looking at Evelyn.

"Yes, he's my friend," said Evelyn lied, she looked sarcastically at the woman beside Callum. 'So, she's your wife, even though she's not prettier than me,' she thought.

"Uh. Yes, " said Callum with a friendly smile at Casper. "Congratulations, Casper, you are finally married," he Callum, then followed by his wife who also greeted Evelyn.

"Why is Callum so similar to you?" Evelyn asked after Callum left.

"He's my half-brother, his mother is my father's first wife. But after my father died, we lived apart," replied Casper casually.

Evelyn just nodded understandingly, and did not expect that she married the brother of her ex. she sits on a luxurious aisle, and felt pain in her waist, even though she became pregnant, she gets tired easily.

"Can I go to the room, I'm tired?" Evelyn asked, looking at Casper pleadingly.

"Okay, I'll take you." Casper immediately escorted Evelyn to the hotel room they rented for the night. Because tomorrow they will return to Jakarta city.

"You don't come back to the party anymore?" Evelyn asked when she got to the room, Casper instead closed the door and didn't come out again.

"No, I'm tired and I want to sleep too," Casper replied.

Evelyn immediately walked to the bathroom to take off her big dress which was quite difficult to remove.

"Why is it so hard? I had to ask Casper to help me," muttered Evelyn, and then immediately came out of the bathroom. 

"Casper, help me unzip," she said when he saw Casper lying on the bed.

Casper immediately sat up, while Evelyn sat on the edge of the bed. The man immediately positioned himself behind his wife, Then unzipped her gown. He swallowed his saliva when he saw his wife's back which looked so smooth, raised his passion but he couldn't do anything because his wife was still very cold to him.

Evelyn immediately returned to the bathroom and changed into her pajamas and clean her face from makeup. After that, she returned to the room and saw Casper sleeping on the couch and still wearing his tuxedo suit.

She stared at Casper for a moment and then immediately woke him up because she was sorry to see him sleeping uncomfortably on the couch.

"Casper, you have to move to the bed," said Evelyn, patting Casper gently.

"Can I sleep with you?" Casper asked who started to open his eyes but was still sleepy.

"Yes," said Evelyn. Then she immediately lay down on the bed.

Evelyn stared at the ceiling, imagining what had happened to her. Today she become a wife but is not ready to do her first night duty.

"Why you're not sleeping?" Asked Casper who had just come back from the bathroom. He had changed into pajamas In the same color as Evelyn's pajamas. He lay beside her with distance limited by a pillow in the middle.

"It's okay, I'm just nervous," answered Evelyn without turning her head.

"Don't worry, I'm not asking for my rights before you love me," Casper said.

"Thank you for understanding." Evelyn smiled at Casper. She was relieved that Casper understood her.

Casper just smile, Trying to accept reality even though he wanted to touch Evelyn, wanted to do the first night which is generally done by newlyweds.

They both immediately slept in a far apart position and back to back.

'I'll be patient until you love me, I hope love grows before our baby is born, I don't want us to get divorced one day,' thought Casper.

Evelyn didn't go to sleep right away, she felt pain in her back and legs. Makes her sleepless and then sits down and massages her legs.

Feeling that Evelyn was not sleeping, Casper immediately changed his position to face Evelyn. Seeing his wife sitting and massaging her own feet, made him feel sorry. He immediately sat down and got closer to his wife's feet and then massaged them.

"Why are you massaging my feet? Aren't you sleepy?" Asked Evelyn with a flat look.

"I couldn't sleep because you kept moving. Are you still in pain?" Casper asked.

"It's getting better. But my shoulder hurts too," said Evelyn.

"Now turn around, I'll massage you," Casper exclaimed.

Evelyn changed her position to sit with her back to Casper.

Casper immediately massaged Evelyn's shoulders.

"Are we going back to Jakarta tomorrow?" Asked Evelyn while enjoying Casper's massage.

"Yes, I have important business," Casper replied.

After finishing the massage, Casper immediately lay down, because he couldn't stand the drowsiness anymore. Evelyn immediately slept because she felt better.

Sunlight slipped through the hotel window, newlyweds did not realize that it was already morning they slept very close. Evelyn was in Casper's arms. I don't know who started it, even the pillow falls on the floor.

Evelyn felt comfortable sleeping in Casper's arms, the pride made her want to let Casper go. But somehow there seemed to be a feeling of comfort that made her reluctant to let him go.

'You're handsome like Callum, can I love you before this baby is born, or we'll get a divorce?' she thought as she saw Casper who was still asleep. She felt her husband's smooth jaw without the beard, kept looking at him, and realized his handsomeness. 

"Sorry," said Casper, who had just opened his eyes and realized the distance between himself and Evelyn was very close.

Casper immediately got out of bed and walked to the bathroom, while Evelyn also got out of bed and quickly straightened out the pillows and blankets.

"Are we going straight to the airport?" Evelyn asked when she realized that Casper had just come back from the shower wearing only a waist-high towel, his body was very athletic.

"Yes, I ordered the ticket yesterday and in two hours we have to leave ... in two days I'll be going to Thailand for a working visit," Casper replied as he picked up his clothes in the wardrobe.

"Do you always travel to different countries?" Asked Evelyn.

"Not really, do you want to come with me?" Casper asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No, I'm still often nauseous, if I take a trip too far, maybe I'm not strong," said Evelyn flatly, then she immediately went to the bathroom while Casper immediately put on his clothes.

After an hour of getting ready,

Casper and Evelyn walked out of the hotel with suitcases. They saw many paparazzi outside. He just found out that the girl he married is a famous model, even on the rise. He didn't know it because he was busy with his business world, he didn't care about the entertainment world.

"Would you like to accept an interview?" Casper asked, staring at Evelyn who was staring at the paparazzi.

"I'm lazy to talk to a lot of people," said Evelyn irritably, because the paparazzi must have asked her a lot about her sudden marriage.

"Okay, let's go through the back," said Casper and immediately grabbed Evelyn's hand as he walked toward the back door of the hotel.

"I'd better stay home after this," muttered Evelyn as she continued walking following Casper who also kept holding her hand.

"Paparazzi will always bother me," said Evelyn.

"I'll hire a bodyguard for you."

"That's necessary because I'm rarely home," Casper insisted.

"No need, I hate being guarded," said Evelyn in a harsh tone.

They reached the back door of the hotel, then went straight out and into the car that Casper's assistant had prepared.

During the trip there was only silence, Evelyn just stared out the car window, occasionally she saw a poster with a picture of her on the side of the road. 'It will all be erased when my career fades, No company wants to collaborate with a pregnant model? I will miss every pose and the enthusiastic atmosphere backstage before the catwalk starts. I'm going to miss my world,' thought Evelyn as she gazed sadly at the street view from the car window.

"We stopped for breakfast at the restaurant, I'll ask for a special place so no paparazzi follow you," said Casper.

Evelyn was just silent and did not respond. She is still sad. Even though the man who married her was rich, she will always miss her world. Because since childhood, being a model is her dream. But when she was on the rise being a model, she had to run aground because of her carelessness.
