Why be a selfish man if you can be a nice man?

In the end William still carried Rose until they got back into car and according to the plan William had made, they were currently in a luxurious Japanese restaurant with a private dining room.

William didn't want to make Rose feel uncomfortable anymore especially when she was eating.

"You didn't take me to a closed place like this on purpose? Tell me what's on your perverted brain?" Rose asked sternly after all the food Willy ordered had been served and the waiter left them both.

Lines of sushi and sashimi are neatly arranged on a large boat-shaped container and several other side dishes fill the rectangular table.

"I already said if I can't bear to make love to you if you are too skinny then eat a lot of it." William said as he put the salmon sashimi into her mouth.

Rose narrowed her eyes and stared at this before speaking again, "Then I won't eat."

"Whatever, it's a shame this sushi is so delicious." William answered, not forgetting that he teased Rose by deliberately eating very voraciously.

And unfortunately, Rose's stomach can't hold her hunger, especially if the food in front of her is her favorite sushi.

Seeing Rose's expression, which looked tormented with hunger, William thrust a piece of sushi from his chopsticks in front of Rose.

"Eat, I won't tease you while you're eating." said William.

With a suspicious look, Rose finally took a bite from Williams and chewed on the sushi that was fed by William with a happy smiling face.

"So delicious." Praise Rose.

"Of course because I'm the one who fed it."

"Will, come on keep your word!"

"Okay, eat a lot you pay for."

William's lighthearted joke made Rose couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, Okay, I'll pay for everything." Said Rose "Unless you eat." She continued, laughing.

William just nodded with a chuckle.

"Slowly, Will, later I won't get any." Rose protest.

"I'll pay for what I eat." William said jokingly.

"Oh come on!" Rose whined misguided before going back "Okay then you pay for all this food then."

"Okay, you arrange it, baby." William said laughing again.

"Ish don't call me baby!"

"My dear Rosie..."

"Not even Will! My name is Rose. R.O.S.E. ROSE!"

"Okay, Okay, Lady Rose."

Oh never mind, it seems that Rose will never win an argument with William.

***

After eating, William immediately took Rose to look at the house offered by the house selling agent.

With a fairly large yard, there is green grass decorating the yard and several trees planted in the corner near the wall, there is a rose garden located in the backyard of the house.

The house is white but there are also some parts that are painted pink with furniture and miniatures made of porcelain.

There is a swimming pool in the backyard and a mini rose garden in the side yard.

The house itself has a modern minimalist style where there is a kitchen and pantry in red that is easily combined with white, there is a living room and family room with a long sofa facing a large television, there are three bedrooms, one main bedroom is on the second floor while one room is used as a bedroom. guest room and the other room was converted into a practice room filled with a special glass wall for Rose to practice. On the roof there is also a swing made of wood and some potted plants to relax.

This beautiful house is in accordance with what Rose had imagined and she never thought that her dream house would be realized by a man she just met yesterday.

"Do you like it?" William asked as Rose was sitting on the swing.

"I like this house but not our wedding plans." said Rose.

William didn't respond to Rose's words and just raised his face to stare at the bright sunlight behind the swing cover he was sitting on.

"What if I promise a divorce?" William asked in a low but serious tone.

"I only want to marry once in my life. If you are planning to divorce why do you intend to marry me?" Rose answered back asking.

"I don't know, maybe because we are matched or maybe because I am a selfish and greedy man." William said quietly, for some reason every time William changed his tone of voice like this Rose felt a wound and a sense of loneliness from every sentence that William said.

"Why be a selfish man and give it up if you can be the fun guy we were when we ate together earlier?" Asked Rose, Rose's question was able to make William stunned.

"Because I have to keep my promise." William replied.

The answer hung full of question marks that Rose couldn't understand.

Not long after that, a representative from the house selling agent came over, William immediately got up to discuss the continuation of buying and selling this house.

....

William had signed a letter as proof of purchase of the house he had bought in Rose's name.

"Your name is very beautiful." William said after reading the land and house certificates that had just been given by the house selling agent representative.

"Keep it well, this house is yours now." William said as he gave the certificate in his hand to Rose.

"I don't want to accept it. We're not even married yet." Reject Rose.

"We're getting married soon." William said, he came back with a cold look, took Rose's hand and placed the two certificates on Rose's hand.

"If on our wedding date there is no marriage between us then I will return it to you." Rose said but William ignored her words.

It's already evening but William still hasn't taken Rose home, since the last conversation William has been in the room and who knows what he's doing that makes Rose feel sleepy waiting for him and finally falls asleep on the sofa in front of the television.

William indeed locked himself in the main room, he sat facing the window with a blank stare for quite a while.

William is trapped in a situation that makes it difficult for him.

"Why be a selfish man and give it up if you can be a nice guy?" Rose's words kept ringing in his mind.

He couldn't even recognize how he really was, Jackson manipulated him so much that he was drowned by pain mixed with deep longing for his sister.

Even until this moment there has not been a bright spot in his younger brother's footsteps.

William also just found out that the orphanage where he used to live has been sold and there is no trace of moving to exactly eighteen years ago.

Surely this was all Jackson's doing, the vile man made him lose track of his sister and he still didn't give a single clue where his sister was.

Taking a deep breath, William lay down and closed his eyes, letting tears fall from the corners of his tightly closed eyes.

"I miss you."
