Forced To Marry the CEO

Chapter 01

"Bara, can Papa make one request of you?" asked Mr. Indra in a weak voice.

"What do you want, Papa? If Bara can, Bara will fulfill it," Bara

sat by his father's bed, he looked at his father with concern.

"Bara, it looks like Papa won't be around much longer," Mr. Indra said haltingly.

"Dad, Papa, don't talk like that, let's go abroad for treatment so that Papa can recover quickly,"

Bara was so worried when his father said that he would not live long. He tried to persuade his Papa to go abroad for treatment.

"No, son!"

"Pa! If Papa goes abroad for treatment, Papa will get better quickly,"

Mr. Indra still refused Bara's invitation to go abroad for treatment, even though Bara had persuaded him, Mr. Indra was still adamant that he did not want to be invited abroad.

"Papa doesn't want to go anywhere, Bara! Papa only has one request for you, can you fulfill it before Papa leaves?" pleaded Pak Indra in a weak voice.

Bara was silent for a moment then sighed and looked at his Papa.

"What

can I ask of you?"

"Can you marry my friend's son?"

"But, Dad? Bara already has a lover,"

Bara is still faithfully waiting for her lover to return, that's why she doesn't want to be matched with someone else, especially since her lover is her first love, but now her lover is still developing her career as a model abroad.

"If you already have a lover, bring him to Papa's presence, get married here and now," said Mr. Indra with frustration.

Bara was silent, he could not answer his father's words, because his girlfriend had also been difficult to contact lately, Bara was in a dilemma about what decision he would make.

On the one hand Bara still loved his girlfriend very much, but on the other hand he was worried about his father's worsening condition.

"Bara, why are you silent? You can't bring him here can you?"

"She's working on her career, Pa. He can't come home suddenly,"

"Don't make so many excuses, Papa asked you to marry his friend's son, Papa, Papa has been waiting for your promise for a long time, but what? You haven't brought your girlfriend here yet, Papa."

Bara was silent, he had guessed that his father would ask him to get married immediately, Bara was confused about his decision, because he still had a lover while his father wanted him to get married immediately, and now his father's condition was also critical.

"Bara! Mama, please obey your Papa's request, okay?"

Mama Rita pleaded with her son to comply with his Papa's request.

"But, Ma?"

Bara was still hesitant to make a decision, because she still had a lover and she didn't want to betray her lover. What's more, Bara also doesn't know what the woman who will be matched with him is like.

"Mama begs, son. Just this once comply with your Papa's request," said Mrs. Rita sadly.

Bara was silent, he thought again to really give the right decision, even though his heart was not sure but seeing his father's weak condition, Bara really couldn't bear it.

"Bara, do you want to comply with Papa's request?" asked Mr. Indra again.

Bara convinced his heart to accept the match, in order to make his father happy, he immediately looked up at his father.

"Yes, Pa. Bara will comply with Papa's request," Bara said resignedly.

Bara only wanted to make his father's condition not get worse, that's why he was forced to accept the arranged marriage, who knows how his relationship with his lover will be, the most important thing now is that his father can be healthy first. ....................................

"

Bara!"

Bara immediately looked up at the person who was calling his name.

"Doctor Emi?" Bara said, linking his eyebrows.

Doctor Emi was Bara's college friend, they were good friends until now, but because of their respective busy schedules, they never met again, and Doctor Emi is now also married, so she has been busy with work and also taking care of her family.

While Bara is now a CEO but not yet married, he is still faithfully waiting for his girlfriend who is still pursuing her career abroad.

"Yes, why are you so surprised to see me? Am I too pretty?" said Doctor Emi confidently.

"What a big deal, Doctor Emi works here?" asked Bara, getting up from her seat.

"Yes, are you sick, why are you here?"

"It's not me, it's Papa."

"What's wrong?"

Bara told Doctor Emi everything about his father's illness, but Bara did not tell her about the arranged marriage because he was still unsure of his decision. Moreover, she was also still waiting for her boyfriend to return from abroad.

"Surely Om Indra is thinking about you who are not yet married, so hurry up and get married so that Om Indra is not burdened with his thoughts,"

"

It's easy to say, but the problem is that my boyfriend is still pursuing his career abroad,"

"Yes, just tell him to come back, you guys get engaged first so that there is clarity," suggested Doctor Emi.

"Lately he has been very difficult to contact, he also gave no news at all,"

Bara looked down languidly remembering that his lover had no news lately and could not be contacted either.

"If there's no clarity why do you still keep her?"

"I don't know, I'm dizzy thinking about it,"

Bara looked down massaging her forehead which felt dizzy.

"You think about it again well, I'll leave first, hopefully Om Indra will be healthy soon," said Doctor Emi and then left Bara.

Bara didn't respond anymore, she was at war with her own mind after hearing Doctor Emi's advice.

***********

Pak Hadi was now enjoying a cup of hot tea in the backyard, looking at his flourishing vegetable plants.

"Sir, when are we going to talk to Fira? I haven't had a chance to talk to her yet, what if Mr. Indra calls again and demands our promise?" said Mrs. Mira worriedly.

"You're also confused, ma'am."

Mr. Hadi sighed harshly, he was confused about what to say to his son about the arranged marriage, on the one hand Mr. Hadi was sorry to see the condition of his friend, but on the other hand he also felt sorry for his only daughter.

Tringg tringg tringg

Mr. Hadi picked up his cell phone on the table.

"Who's calling, sir?" asked Mrs. Mira anxiously.

"Mr. Indra, ma'am."

"It's true what you're worried about, you just told me, he already called for real,"

"It's okay, Mom. Let's face the facts, let's listen to what Mr. Indra has to say first,"

Mrs. Mira just resignedly followed what her husband said, while Mr. Hadi immediately answered the phone from Mr. Indra.

"Hello, Mr. Indra,"

"Hello, Mr. Hadi, sorry to interrupt your time," said Mrs. Rita.

"Oh, Mrs. Rita, it's okay, ma'am. Not disturbing at all, what's wrong, ma'am?" asked Mr. Hadi anxiously.

"Look, sir, can Mr. Hadi and Ms. Mira come to the hospital now? My husband's condition is currently critical, sir,"

"Critical? I'll be there right now," said Mr. Hadi frantically.

The phone line was switched off, Mr. Hadi looked at his wife with a panicked face.

"What's wrong, sir?" asked Mrs. Mira, frowning.

"Mr. Indra is in critical condition, ma'am. We've been asked to come to the hospital as soon as possible."

Mrs. Mira was silent, she was sure that Mr. Indra would ask about the arranged marriage again.

"Yes, sir. Let's go to the hospital now,"

"But Safira isn't home yet, ma'am."

"No need to wait for Safira, we'll let you know when we get there, the important thing is that we get to the hospital now."

"But, Mom? What if Mr. Indra asks about Safira?"

"That's an easy question, the important thing is that we first see Mr. Indra's condition." suggested Mrs. Mira.

Mr. Hadi nodded after hearing the advice from his wife, Mr. Hadi immediately took the keys to his motorcycle and rushed to the hospital to immediately see the condition of his friend.
