Chapter 1：Our Marriage Must Be a Secret (1/2)
”Uh... where is this?” Carolina slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was a room that was unfamiliar to her. However, she was a little grateful for seeing the figure of the red-haired man sitting beside her bed while talking on the phone.
The man suddenly felt someone staring at him, he glanced at Carolina and sure enough that woman was currently staring at him.
”Let's continue the conversation later, there's something come up,” the man said, then turned off the telephone line.
”Ah... thank God you are awake, now you are in the hospital, you fainted. You make me worry,” said Ethan - the man earlier - who was sitting next to her.
”Oh, I see,” Carolina answered.
There was a moment of silence before Ethan finally took Carolina's hand. Carolina looked at him with a terrible look as if he was a terrible creature and tried to release the man's grasp. However, Ethan still held it tight.
”Let's get married... Ouch!” after Ethan let out his proposal words, Carolina's other hand immediately hit his head.
”Are you sick? Do you also need to be treated here? ” said Carolina rudely then pulled back her hand.
”I'm serious! Let's get married!” said Ethan then he said something again. Something that made Carolina look at him with a look of disbelief.
The atmosphere was quiet again for a moment. Neither Ethan nor Carolina said anything. Until finally there was a knock on the door of Carolina's room.
”Hello, the patient is awake. How are you?” suddenly two women came inside. One of them wore a white suit and was in his thirties and one was a nurse who was around mid-twenties.
”I'm fine, doc. Can I go home?” Carolina asked the person who asked her.
”Looks like you're fine. You can go home.” the doctor said after checking Carolina.
”She'll stay for another night to make sure she's fine,” Ethan suddenly stopped the doctor, making Carolina immediately throw an unpleasant look at Ethan.
”Ah, you guys...” suddenly the nurse who came in looked at Ethan and Carolina. As if to ask what is the relationship between them. The doctor who was there glared at the nurse.
”She...” Ethan hasn't had time to explain the relationship between them. Suddenly Carolina immediately interrupted it.
”I am an intern at Mr. Ethan's office. Mr. Ethan is a good boss, so he still pay attention to me even though I'm just an intern. You all know Mr. Ethan went to Indonesia to take over temporary of their family business. In fact, there is an article that came out about it,” Carolina answered quickly.
”Ah! Turns out you're really a Korean actor huh? Sung Woo right? Who plays in -My Wife's Man- drama, right?” the female doctor was suddenly enthusiastic. Since she saw the man she felt like she knew him and it turned out that she was right! The man is an actor in the drama she has been following for the past few weeks.
”Yes doc, I play the role of Sung Woo in the drama My Wife's Men. Thank you for watching the drama,” answered Ethan with a smile.
”Did the filming of the drama finish and you were already here? Tomorrow is episode 8, right? Then does the bad woman back to her husband or not?” the doctor asked, she was so curious.
”The drama shooting isn't over yet, today in Korea it will air episode 8, maybe in Indonesia it will air tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and about the story, doctor can just watch it!” answered Ethan still with a smile.
”So doctor also apparently watched that drama huh? Indeed the drama is really good! By the way..” the nurse started to smile shyly and pulled out her cellphone.
”Ethan oppa ~ can we take a picture together?” the nurse asked, smiling shyly.
”Ah... yes,” the nurse finally smiled and began to do a selca together with Ethan.
”Doctor, can you take a picture of us, please?” feeling not enough with selca photos, the nurse asked the doctor for a picture of the two of them.
The doctor could only shake her head when see the nurse's behavior, but she still took the nurse's cellphone to take a picture of the two of them..
The nurse not waste that opportunities. Se immediately hugged Ethan's arm and rested her head on the man's shoulder. The nurse's movements looked smooth like she was already an expert at doing such photo styles.
”Okay three... two... one... Here, please take a photo of me too, okay? Ethan oppa~” the doctor asked shyly.
”Ah doctor, oppa is a term for older men. Doctor is older than Ethan oppa, so you can call him oppa” answered the nurse, but still accepted the doctor's cellphone given to her.
”It's okay, all those handsome guys are called oppa!” the doctor answered. Ethan just smiled and did a photo together with the doctor. However, unlike the nurse whose position was too intimate, the doctor only posed normally.
”Then excuse us first! Here is a prescription. Mr. Ethan can filled it at the hospital's pharmacy.” said the doctor then handed over the paper she had wrote on before.
”Yes doc! Thank you!” answered Ethan with a smile after receiving the prescription.
When the doctor and the nurse had left, Ethan sat next to Carolina's bed and held her hand.
”Carolina, let's get married!” said Ethan again. Carolina looked at him for a moment, this time she didn't brush aside the sturdy hand that held it gently.
”All right, but there are conditions,” Carolina answered after taking a deep breath.
”What the-, married is married! What are conditions you talking about!” Ethan protested, he immediately disagreed.
”Then I don't want to get married!” Carolina replied then pulled back her hand and took her cellphone. Se began to type something.
”What are you doing? Here we are discussing something serious! ” Ethan protested again when he saw Carolina engrossed in her cellphone.
”Check the prices of motorcycle taxis online. What the f-! 25 thousand! How come the promo code is already used? I haven't used it yet! Let's try the other application, maybe it's cheaper,” Carolina muttered. Ethan looked at her in disbelief. How dare she even check the prices of motorcycle taxis online while her husband is here and bring a car? Okay correction, her future husband.
After being lost in thought for a while about their wedding plans, Ethan then glanced at Carolina, who was still busy with her cellphone.
”Oh my! The other one is 27 thousand! Very expensive! I have a little money left... Hey! Give me back my cellphone!” Ethan snatched Carolina's cellphone from her hand, stood away from her bed and looked at her in despair. Looks like he really has to be extra patient with his future wife.
”You will go back to the office with me! Period! There are no conditions!”
”Okay, give me my cellphone back!” Carolina who answered immediately made Ethan a little surprised. it's unusual for this woman to immediately agreed, she did not protest as usual.
”Well, back to the office must pay a minimum of 25 thousand if you ride a motorcycle taxix online! It's very loss! I better come along with you, it can be free,” Carolina thought with her own smiles.
”Here is your cellphone, just come back with me, ok? I'm watching you! ” Ethan then sat down near her bed and turned Carolina's cellphone back.
”Ehem, about earlier, about our marriage...”
”I want to, but there are conditions!” interrupted Carolina before Ethan finished his sentence.
