章節 15: Trapped

The journey from the main city to the airport didn't take long. It usually takes less than an hour. I knew about this because Sis Gie has a lot of flight trip with her job. But today it feels like I was stuck in long hours instead, in the so much smaller car, unlike the previous car we took before with only Alex and me inside the car.

Somehow this situation with just two of us alone in the car making me nervous for no reason. There is no Louisa and James to accompany us since both of immediately drive away as soon they leave us at our first stop.

I must admit if I ignore that one particular fact which is been alone with Alex, who looks so serious in driving. It wasn't that all bad. Because been inside the small car make me feel more comfortable compare sitting in an expensive car.

But the awkwardness between us that driving me insane. Especially when you combine it with too much-unanswered questions in the air, which can easily be answered if only Sis Gie give a direct answer in her message and Alex not been such a tight-lipped.

I steal a glanced at Alex. She asked me to be happy. Happy with what? Been married? To Alex? With such incompleted sentences, it gives too much interpretation. And him been too much handsome also not helping either.

Ogling a beautiful man from afar is bliss but when I am in front of them even for a short time, soon I will have heart palpitations and shortness of breath. It does not bode well for my heart health. Luckily I have a healthy heart. But I don't know in the future if I still cannot get used being with him.

So far I avoided as much possible from directly meeting his eyes since my heart was beating unstable and I can't remain calm at all. At least he was not smiling.

Think of it, I never seem him smile yet. Praise to God for that. I don't think my heart can take it yet. But when he did, I truly wish from the bottom of my heart he doesn't have any dimple on his face. It will literally kill me on the spot.

If been married for two days already give me a jumpy feeling all the time, then what my future will look like? And her last two sentences what makes me more uneasy about all this.

She warning me to watch my back. It sounds more like an impending threat. Is someone intend to harm me? Who is it? I cannot remember anyone who I have been offended recently.

Is it Alex? Why? I did what he asking me, by agree marrying him. Is there a more hidden agenda I didn't know? Am I in danger? I glanced again at Alex. Will I be safe?

Is there any clue in a prenuptial agreement? I can't check it now since I hand it over to Siti yesterday. And she already promised to tell me the pro and cons of that agreement as soon she contacts her family personal lawyer. And it's not like I can tell my father about me signing it. I don't think he even knew about it even if Alex ended up married Sis Gie as they planned. I don't want my father to worry too much. He has enough on his plate.

Should I just run away?
