Even though in reality Sagara's legs were not paralyzed, there was still a sense of annoyance when he heard people ridicule and gossip about him from their limp mouths.

Secretary Ken walked towards a table with some dishes on it. His Young master wanted something to refresh his mind so that he wont get tired at times like this.

He settled on a fruit salad which was placed in a middle-sized plastic container. It was decorated very nicely and has a classy touch.

 "Eh," said a girl next to Secretary Ken when she found the box she was looking for was also being targeted by the handsome young man.

"Eh," said the girl beside secretary Ken when she realised that he also wants the salad that she was eyeing

 At this moment, Secretary Ken's hand was holding the girl's hand which was holding the same fruit salad container as him

 The girl turned towards Secretary Ken and in the sight of the handsome man, there were rose petals scattered around the girl's face, which fell like a rain of flowers.

 "Wow," Secretary Ken said, mesmerized by the beauty of the girl beside him.

 The girl's face started to glow and her hair was fluttering around like those models of dandruff shampoo advertisements that we see in TV.

 "Beautiful," said Secretary Ken unconsciously.

 The girl started to frown when she heard the words of the man next to her.

 "Handsome brother, please remove your hands from my hands. This Viona is as beautiful as an angel." said the girl in a shrill voice as she tossed her long hair back using her idle left hand.

 "Oh, I'm sorry," Secretary Ken immediately snapped out of his fantasy world and in the blink of an eye all his hallucinations are gona

 The man awkwardly removed his hand from Viona's hand, which was accompanied by reluctance in his heart.

 Secretary Ken slightly rubbed his right hand which had just held his crush's hand.

 'Looks like both eyes of everyone in town A are blind, huh. To the point of not realizing how beautiful the angel Infront of me is.'  Secretary Ken thought, still looking at Viona who had walked away.

 Everyone in town A really thinks that Viona is the ugliest and stupidest girl in the whole city because her dress is very painful for the eyes and she also often does stupid things that are not appropriate for people of her age.

 Even though Viona was wearing heavy make-up, Secretary Ken could still clearly see the beauty that radiated from the girl.

 If the problem is his stupid brain, the man also doubts it.

 He still remembers clearly when the water tap in the city park suddenly broke down and was immediately fixed by Viona with makeshift equipment in the park and it worked.

 Today's meeting between Secretary Ken and Viona is not their first time.

 The two of them actually often met each other while jogging around the park in this city, but Viona never recognized the presence of secretary Ken. Only he noticed Viona's presence around him.

 "Huft," Secretary Ken sighed as he regretted that he hadn't kept Viona by his side any longer. "Why am I so stupid."  he murmured.  "I should have stopped her and 

 Dejected , secretary Ken grabbed the other fruit salad box on the table and returned to the table with wobbly steps just as if he lost so much blood.

 "Here, sir," Secretary Ken puts the fruit salad container in front of Sagara.

 "Hey, what's wrong with you, Ken? You look so depressed " Sagara asked with a frown.

 "I'm all right, sir."

 "Why do you look like someone broke your heart? I should be the one feeling gloomy since to-be wife ran from our marriage.

 "I'm sad too, sir." Secretary Ken said, his head down.

 "Wow, how loyal you are, Ken. Hahaha," Sagara chuckled. "Thanks for taking care of me and accompanying me feeling sad."

 "I am not sad about that, sir. I am sad because of my own problem."

 "What kind of problem do you have, Ken?"

 "I'm sad because-"

 "Your girlfriend?"

 Secretary Ken stopped saying anything because Sagara cut him off.

 "Hey, don't just shut up!"

 "That's why sir, please don't interrupt me."

 "All right, all right. Please continue!"

 "Viona left before I could even get to know her. I was about to try and get acquainted with her but she just went off."

 "Geez, I thought it was something else"  Sagara rolled his eyes lazily. "Viona, Viona, and Viona" Sagara muttered

 Secretary Ken looked very pathetic.

 "Haish, calm down. Don't cry anymore, Ken! After I marry Viola, you can get to know Viona. I will ask Viola to ask Viona to come to my house often so you can meet your crush. " Sagara said, trying to comfort him.

 "She is also the Angel of my heart, sir"

 "Yeah, yeah whatever." Sagara nodded. "But the problem is... I'm not getting married because my future wife ran away, hahaha," Sagara laughed and made his secretary cry again to himself

 Several tens of minutes later, the priest who has a busy schedule today can no longer wait for the bride.

 He had to immediately go to the venue of his other client's wedding.

 "Sorry, sir. I can't wait too long. I have a lot of things to attend to."

 "Please, sir. Do not go yet! Wait a few more moments. I'm sure that we will be able to find the bride soon." Secretary Ken tried to stop the priest. He doesn't want his master to be sad.

 "Sorry, sir. I have to go." The priest insisted.

 "Take it easy, sir. I'll pay more later. As long as you don't go." Secretary Ken persuaded him

 "Even if you pay me more, I will still refuse. The reputation of couples and families will be ruined and they will be ashamed if they fail to get married today. They must also have held a big party to celebrate their special day."

 "Well, instead of doing this it's better if we just replace the bride with another girl." Awan said. "If Sagara's marriage fails, then my brother will be ashamed too. Plus there are already many guests who are tired of waiting for the wedding ceremony procession to start."

 "Huh! Replace the bride! Seriously, sir? Is it that easy to find a replacement in such a short time ?" Secretary Diana exclaimed, pretending to be surprised at her Master's suggestion.

 "Secretary Diana is correct, sir." Secretary Ken said, agreeing with the woman's opinion.

 "Of course it's not difficult. We can replace Viola with Viona. After all, they're the same, right? Both are Mr. Sofyan and Mrs. Nadira's children, and girls, right?"

 "True, true, true." Viola's parents nodded.

 "Look... even Viola and Viona's parents agree with my suggestion." Awan said. "Anyway, Sagara will still be married today with Viona." Awan said firmly. "Mr. Sofyan, dress Viona and turn her into the most beautiful bride." Awan ordered.

 "Yes, Mr. Awan." Mr. Sofyan said quickly.

 "Very nice."

Awan turned to the priest. "Sir, you can spare a few more minutes right?

 "Yes, i can. As long as it's before ten o'clock, I have to leave this place."

 "Okay then. I'll make sure before ten o'clock you will be out of of this building. Later, let my men take you to the next place."

 "Thank you very much, Mr. Awan."

 "You're welcome."

 Sagara who sat not far from them could only clench his palms and do nothing about being married off to the ugly Viona

 "This must have been planned by Awan a long time ago." Sagara murmured, immediately guessing exactly who was the mastermind behind the chaos.
