Episode 7

When Arsenio was still gazing at Aozora's face, he suddenly became curious seeing her phone.

"Hmm, what could it be that made her cry? It seems like the answer is in that phone," Arsenio whispered to himself.

"Should I take it? Ah, no, it's her privacy," Arsenio tried not to care about the phone. However, he looked restless because, no matter what, he was truly haunted by curiosity now.

"Argh, whatever! I'll just take it, rather than dying of curiosity," he finally, very slowly, attempted to reach for the phone from Aozora's hand.

"Darn, this phone even needs a fingerprint to unlock," Arsenio cursed, scratching his head.

"If I touch her hand, will she wake up?" Arsenio looked towards Aozora.

"Ah, let me just try!" Arsenio thought. Then, slowly and with trembling hands, he reached out to grab Aozora's hand and placed her finger on Ayesha's phone.

"It's open!" Arsenio silently exclaimed.

Once it was open, the first thing that appeared on the screen was a message from Tsania. It seemed that Aozora had forgotten to close it.

"Oh, so her ex-fiance is actually my cousin, Dimas. Hmm, interesting!" A mysterious smile formed on Arsenio's lips as he looked at the photo that Tsania had sent, now knowing that it was the sister of the woman sleeping on his bed.

Afterwards, Arsenio read the messages sent by Tsania, as well as Aozora's replies.

After finishing reading everything, Arsenio placed the phone back into Aozora's hand.

"So sad, her fate! What should I do now? Should I really accept her as my wife now? But I don't love her at all," Arsenio thought, roughly rubbing his face.

Arsenio looked back at Aozora's still puffy face. As he was still focused on looking at his newly wedded wife, suddenly he heard a creaking sound from the door, indicating that someone was about to come in.

"Hey, wha---"

"Shhh!" Arsenio quickly placed his index finger on his lips, signaling for the person who had just entered to be quiet.

Turned out, the person who had just arrived was a young man who, judging by his face, was the same age as Arsenio. The young man was none other than Daren, a doctor and Arsenio's friend.

"Hey, who is she? Why is she in your room?" Langit asked in a very soft voice, his eyes darting towards Aozora.

"She's my wife,"

"What!"

"Shh, lower your voice! Didn't I tell you not to make noise!" Arsenio looked at Daren with a sharp gaze.

"Yes, yes, sorry! But how can she be your wife? Weren't you single this morning?" Daren was now sitting very close to Arsenio.

"Just now!" Arsenio responded curtly.

Daren furrowed his brows in confusion. "I don't understand. How did you two get married?" Daren asked. "Does she know that you're not actually in a coma anymore?" he added.

"She has no idea. The bottom line is we got married earlier, and it was my mother's plan. Her father married her off to me to pay off his debts," Arsenio explained.

"Poor her!" Daren looked at Aozora with a sorrowful gaze.

"But, she's beautiful, mate," Daren complimented, still looking at Aozora's face.

"Ahem," Arsenio cleared his throat, making Daren jump in surprise.

"Why? Don't you like me complimenting her? Are you suddenly falling in love with her?" Daren retorted, looking at Arsenio with an inquisitive gaze.

"Not at all. Don't speak without thinking! It's not that easy for me to fall in love with a woman who has just entered my life," Arsenio firmly denied.

"Oh, so you're still hoping for Hanum to come back to you, huh? Remember, she's the one who got you into this mess!" Daren tried to remind him.

"But, I'm not sure if she could be that heartless. I feel like something happened to her, that's why she left me. You know yourself how Hanum is, right?" Arsenio responded.

Yes, Arsenio has a beloved girlfriend named Hanum. They have been in a relationship for 7 years, but for some reason, Hanum suddenly left Arsenio. In a state of panic, Arsenio ended up having an accident while driving his car, which for some reason, also had brake failure.

"Well, I do know Hanum's character. But, people can change, Sen. And, you have to remember, that you are already married. You yourself have said that your wife's life has been pitiful all this while, do you want to make her life even more pitiful?" Daren asked with pressure, and of course, still in a very soft voice.

Arsenio remained silent, speechless. Daren's words had really disturbed his mind.

"Argh, I don't know, Ren! but I am sure that she won't love me either. You know, it turns out she is Dimas' ex-fiancee,"

"Huh, Dimas is your cousin?" Daren asked to confirm.

"Yes. She was supposed to marry Dimas next Sunday, but that despicable man cheated on her with this woman's sister. And it's her sister who will be marrying Dimas," Arsenio explained.

"Madness, Men is truly mad! Now that you know all this, are you still willing to leave her if Hanum returns? If so, that would make you the cruelest man, Sen!" exclaimed Daren, shaking his head.

"Oh, forget it! Let's just think about it later. Now, where's my food order? I'm hungry! Come on, before she wakes up,"

Daren shook his head again, then handed over a package that turned out to be food.

"Here, you eat first! I'll check your leg," Daren handed the food to Arsenio.

Arsenio started eating eagerly before Aozora woke up.

Meanwhile, Daren was patting his friend's leg.

"How? Have you felt anything yet?" Daren asked, and Arsenio shook his head.

Daren then exhaled heavily.

"Bro, I suggest you stop pretending to be in a coma. So that you can get therapy. You also need to get a lot of sun. If you continue like this, you could end up paralyzed forever, do you want that to happen?" Daren said.

"But...."

"No buts! Stop hoping. Hanum won't come!" Daren said firmly.

Arsenio exhaled, feeling that what his friend said was somewhat true.

"I'll think about it, Ren," Arsenio whispered softly.

"I'm done eating!" Arsenio placed the food box on the nightstand, then drank.

Just as Arsenio finished eating, there was suddenly movement from Aozora. Arsenio panicked and immediately laid his body down.

"W-who are you?" Sure enough, Aozora opened her eyes and sat up as soon as she saw Daren's presence.

Instead of answering, Daren was stunned looking at Aozora, who looked even more beautiful when her eyes were open. Her eyes were so beautiful, it captivated Daren.

"Hey, hey, why are you staring? Who are you?" Aozora spoke again, snapping Daren out of his subconscious state.

"Oh, let me introduce myself. I'm Daren. I'm Tuan Arsenio's personal doctor and also his friend. I came to check on him as usual." Daren replied, after successfully calming his nerves.

"Oh, I'm Aozora! Just call me Zora. How's his condition now, Dr. Daren? Is he still going to be in a coma for a long time?" Aozora asked politely.

"Um, there's been significant progress. It's just a matter of Arsenio's intention, whether he wants to stay in a coma or wake up," Daren replied, deliberately teasing Arsenio.

"Damn it! How dare he say that!" Arsenio swore in his mind.

Meanwhile, Aozora furrowed her eyebrows, confused by the meaning of the man's words in front of her. She wanted to ask, but she stopped when she saw the food box on the nightstand that seemed to have been eaten by someone.
