The Love I Dreamed Of

CHAPTER 1

Aurora Leonard rushes into the pharmacy in the area where she works in the city of Golyn. She needs to get simethicone because she can't stand anymore with her gastric pain. Hence, she needs to return immediately to pick up her daughter from the nanny's home.

"Give me simethicone please." Aurora said to the pharmacy worker. While waiting for the medicine, she noticed there are fish aquarium beside her. All the fish enjoying their life swimming around the cute mini house in the aquarium. She also had the time to be jealous with the life of the fish that can live in an aquarium that is quite decorated. Although Aurora is a home designer who works at one of the famous companies, Aurora is still unable to decorate her home with luxurious furniture. But Aurora lucky enough to be able to work in the city of Golyn, which is the most prominent city in the country because this city only accepts employees from former students who have graduated from Golyn University and other major universities around the world.

"Sorry for the wait, this is the medicine you want," said the pharmacy worker warmly. Aurora took the medicine and continued to stare back at the fish. "The best thing is that you are all just a fish but still can live in a lovely aquarium like this, you can eat for free but I have to work half to death to keep living" said Aurora in her heart. Aurora is a daughter from a poor family, since childhood she was often hated and insulted by people, especially when she was a student at Golyn University which only accepted smart and wealthy students. Thanks to her efforts she was able to receive a full scholarship from that University.

Meanwhile, a man came to the pharmacy to buy the same medicine. However, the worker said that the medicine had run out and the last one was at the lady who was busy staring at the aquarium like a cat trying to catch the fish. Without saying anything, the man took the medicine in Aurora's hand and immediately paid for it. Aurora who was stunned by the man's rude behavior quickly chased after the man to prevent the man from getting into his car.

"Whoa rude thief! You have so much guts that you dare to steal people's things!" Aurora blurted out those words because she couldn't hold back.

The man looked at Aurora's face with deathly eyes. His heart said "How dare you call me like that?!" he tried to ignore Aurora and walk away but his big shoulder bumped into Aurora that made her fall down. The people around who witnessed the incident were unable to say anything or dare to help that poor girl.

"Auch! What's wrong with you huh?! Aurora moaned in pain after feeling like she had been pushed by an elephant.

"Don't try to make a cheap drama here, okay? If this is your medicine, why don't you just pay and leave the pharmacy?" said the man in a harsh tone. That voice alone was enough to make Aurora cringe when she heard it.

Aurora got up and answered the man's words. "Hey thief! It's my business to pay sooner or later. It's not your right to decide. Anyway, I can't stand the pain in my stomach anymore. You better return the medicine before I do something to you!"

"Do you think I bought this medicine to feed rats? After all I see that you're healthy and you can still behave like you're not sick or you're trying to get my attention?" the man insisted not wanting to lose.

"I'm too lazy to argue with you. We set a good way okay? Now give me the medicine and we'll split it in 2. Agree?" Aurora already wasted a lot of time in the pharmacy and now have to fight with a crazy man. "You think by dressing up with this Hyrie Josh brand suit, you can scare me huh?" her heart said so even though she knew the Hyrie Josh brand was only for wealthy people.

Before the man could speak, the phone's ringtone suddenly rang, apparently it belonged to Aurora. She immediately answered the call because she knew it must be her daughter calling. The man clearly heard what the two of them were talking about, with a sudden feeling of guilt in his heart, he divided the medicine into 2 according to Aurora's idea and he pulled her arm and put the medicine in her palm then left.

Aurora felt strange with the man's attitude because Aurora thought he would remain stubborn. But when she tried to recall the man's face, she seemed to recognize him, or was it just her feelings? "Who is actually that crazy man?"

CHAPTER 2

A sarcastic smile was on the face of the man who was called as medicine thief by a lady who for him was quite interesting. This is the first time someone called him a thief because throughout his life, people around him would only open their mouths when he allowed it or if there were any important things to say.

Furthermore, he was a respected man because he was the only son of Mr. Michael. Michael's family is one of the top 5 families in Golyn city, but Mrs. Rosie and Mr. Michael is very kind to anyone they meet, even with the homeless. Apparently Mr. Ash who is the son of Mr. Michael is a very strict man but has a good and loving heart, however that is only for his family and fiancee, Ms. Belty Horald who is a well-known model in the Golyn City.

Ash took out the medicine from his pocket suit and stared at it with full meaning. Meanwhile, Mr. Wayne who is the driver of Mr. Ash for 3 years started driving towards the Sky Beam Residence. It's been 10 minutes since Ash's Mercedes car was parked safely inside the residence parking lot, but his eyes were still staring at the medicine in his hand. Many times Mr. Wayne called Ash but he ignored that old man because at this moment his mind was constantly recalling the incident that happened in front of the pharmacy earlier. Suddenly his heart was beating fast and seems to asking him to look out the window next to him, his eyes caught the figure of a lady who was the same as the lady he met a moment ago.

He got out of the car to see the truth that his eyes had seen earlier, it turned out that his eyes were not deceiving. Suddenly his heart felt something when he looked at the lady's face. "Seems like we are destined to meet again perhaps many times?" Unexpectedly, his mouth was light to rebuke the lady who managed to catch his attention.

"You again? Hey, are you following me?" Aurora slammed her car door and approached Ash. "Why are you silent? So it's true that you followed me, that's why you're silent?" Aurora didn't want to give Ash space to speak with her many questions.

"Relax, I don't even want to meet a fierce woman like you. Your attitude is like a wild cat." Ash just said that because he actually prefers to see Aurora's fierce face.

"Wow, how dare you say that? You don't respect women at all!" Aurora raised her voice because she could no longer stand with this man's attitude. All of a sudden, the car door on the passenger side opened rudely hitting the man.

"Who are you Mr.? Why are you mocking mommy? Are you my daddy?" Sofia, who is Aurora's daughter, asked a barrage of questions just as her mommy.

"This little kid has the same attitude as you, really likes to ask a lot of weird questions." Ash looked at the little girl's face and glanced back at Aurora's face, he observed that this little girl didn't seem to have a same face like her mommy.

"Of course! She is my daughter. If you have a child, he must have the same attitude like you! Giant rat!" Aurora grabbed her daughter's arm and quickly walked towards the elevator. She couldn't bear to face this man anymore.

"Huh, your daughter? but why doesn't her face look like yours? Is that really your daughter?" Ash said in his heart, he was not satisfied. So he took a long step to chase after Aurora. Luckily he managed to get into the elevator.

"Can you stop bothering me? What do you want from me? Aurora is already tired with a lot of work in the office, this is also the reason she got gastritis because she forgot to eat lunch and now she has to face this man again. Does she need to see this man again and again?

"I live on the 20th floor, so I have the right to use this elevator. After all, I built this condominium." Ash answered calmly without showing his face.

"I'm sorry for accusing you." Aurora's face which was red from holding back her anger is now red from embarrassment.

CHAPTER 3

Three days have passed, however Aurora still couldn't forget the man she had called a thief. After the incident in the elevator, Aurora looked for information about the owner of the residence. Unexpectedly, Aurora had insulted one of the most vital people in the development of the city of Golyn. Therefore, every time she wanted to go out to work, she would definitely leave at seven in the morning and come home early to avoid running into Ash. She also had to buy food online.

"If not because Mr. Jonny, I can move out of that house". Aurora is stuck with her fate, even though her salary is high she still can't afford to live a better life. It's also her fault because she desires to live in that residence so much, she had to pay the rent half of her salary. Alas, she has signed a contract to live there for 3 years.

"Never mind, in another year I can move of that house and then I can save more money". Although she has to wait 1 more year but for her, it's like 10 years.

"Hey Aurora, are you okay? From earlier I called your name but you kept talking to yourself. Do you've got a problem with work? Is Mr. Meor mad at you again?" Elisa, who has been Aurora's best friend since university, began asking a series of questions that made Aurora's head spin even more.

"Why do you like to bother me? Can't you do your own work?" Aurora got annoyed with Elisa's behavior, so she pinched Elisa's shoulder.

"Ouch! And why you like to pinch me. If you have a husband, he'll definitely run away from you!" Elisa deliberately brought up the subject of husband because for her Aurora will stop talking when she hears the words of husband. She said she was too sensitive about it.

"Shut up! You don't need to be busy body to know my business." Aurora got up and left Elisa. She thinks Elisa and Ash are a good match because they both like to mess with her.

As Aurora on her way to go to the cafe, Mr. Horrold called her and requested her to come to his office immediately. Aurora's heart was beating fast as if there was something her heart wanted to say. Her steps are also full of caution.

...****************...

"Why am I here? Why does this man appear in front of me again? Why is he here? I'm tried so hard to avoid seeing him but in the end it was all in vain." Said Aurora in her heart.

"Aurora, meet Mr. Ash the CEO of G&M Company". Mr. Harrold is very happy to introduce Mr. Ash to one of his best home designers.

"Happy to meet you Mr. Ash". Aurora reached out to shake Ash's hand even though her heart didn't want to do so.

"We meet again Miss. Aurora." Ash deliberately said this so that Mr. Harrold would know they had met before.

"Oh, you two know each other? That's good, then I'll leave you two for a private discussion as I also have other business outside". Mr. Harrold said so because it was a request from Ash himself.

"Thank you Mr. Harold". Ash shook hands with Mr. Harrold then his eyes glanced at Aurora's face and smirked.

"So, Miss. Aurora. How are you? I saw the cctv that you tried your best to avoid seeing me. Do you have something to say to me?" Ash deliberately wanted to tease Aurora because he wanted to see if Aurora was as professional as he heard.

"Sorry Mr. Ash, this is an office not a cafe. I'm sure we only need to talk about business". Aurora spoke in a calm tone but her mind was already showing the scene of her slamming this man's head on the table. She was really hurt by what she just heard. She just wanted to run and hide in the forest because she was ashamed of herself.

"Yeah, so I'll get straight to the point with my purpose here". Ash began the discussion seriously. He also doesn't want to waste his time because he is very strict about time.

Time passed quickly, it was already past dinner. Aurora from earlier was looking for an opportunity to stop this discussion because she was worried about her daughter at home. However, Ash continued the discussion like there was no tomorrow. Aurora hopes her daughter is doing well at home, because her daughter didn't want to go to a nanny's house today as she said she was already 5 years old so there was no need for her to have someone to look after her. Aurora was unable to do anything because she herself knew that her daughter was so smart and far different from her age.

"Alright we end our discussion here for today. I'll contact you when my fiancee is back from overseas." Ash realized that throughout this discussion, Aurora seemed uncertain but he didn't want to care because for him there would be no meaning in stopping if he wasn't done yet.

"Alright then, I will make a more detailed sketch first and present it to you in the next meeting." Aurora was relieved when Ash said that.

"So now let me send you back. After all, I know your car's tire went flat this morning." This is the opportunity Ash has been waiting for.

"How do you know? Are you stalking me?" Aurora's voice was a little high because her voice was mixed with feelings of surprise and anger.

"No more words and just follow me". Ash knew that if he told the truth, Aurora would act like a wild cat who wanted to fight.
