Jihan took a deep breath. She had just read the news on the internet that the prospective heir to the Priatmoko Group, Noah Priatmoko, had just officially become engaged to the daughter of a Union Bank conglomerate, Elisa Young. Jihan knew these two people. Noah Priatmoko is her ex-boyfirend and Elisa Young is her best friend. On high school and college.

"Life is like a spinning wheel. It will continue to change over time. I also have to move forward! Fighting for myself! Fighting Jihan!"

Jihan closed her work locker after changing into her shop uniform. Jihan looks beautiful in the shop uniform which is dominated by the light green color. Her white skin glowed even more.

Today, she eagerly ready to serve the shop's customers!

OneMart, 8.am. in the morning...

"Sometimes I'm not sure if sister Jihan is a cashier." Said Jihan's co-worker who was on the same shift with her. Her name is Leah.

"What's the matter, Leah?" Jihan asked the energetic girl a year younger than her. "Is there something wrong with me?" she continued.

"Sister Jihan is beautiful, has big eyes, smooth skin, looks like a Korean artist, but instead chooses to be a cashier. Sister Jihan are more suitable to be a model!" Leah said.

Jihan smiled. "Well it can't be helped, I'm currently ending up being a cashier?"

"Gosh, Sister Jihan, I'm seriously saying it!"

"If later you work in entertainment industry, don't forget to recommend me to a famous film producer! Maybe someone will be interested in me to be a film actres. Advertising models are also okay."

"Haha, sister Jihan always treats things positively!"

The morning starts with laughter. Work with a smile and passion. Even though there are many personal problems that face, responsibility remains the main one. Jihan is an orphan. she only lives with her sickly sister. Her sister's name is Maura. Maura suffered from heart failure since childhood. Initially, when her parents were still alive, everything went smoothly, including the funds for the treatment of Maura, who had to stay in the hospital every day.

However, when Jihan's parents died in an accident, everything changed completely. The life insurance left by his parents has been used up for Maura's hospital expenses. The inheritance house built by his father has also been mortgaged to pay for Maura's treatment.

Fortunately, Jihan went to college using education insurance, so she could graduate smoothly without having to think about the cost. Now at the age of 23, Jihan is trying her best to organize her life.

Silly with her ex who is engaged to her best friend. The most important thing right now is how Maura's hospital bills are paid off this month, and she can eat even though she only has to brew instant noodles as usual.

.

.

.

At 3 pm, Jihan didn't expect her best friend come to OneMart, Elisa Young.

"Elisa, you better go home if you don't want to go shopping! Respect the other patrons because they're waiting in line." Jihan said.

Elisa looked back and was right, there were six people waiting in line waiting for her. "But I need to talk to you, Jihan!"

"Hah, if you don't mind it, wait another hour!"

"Yeah, I'll be waiting for you."

Elisa walked out of the shop and sat on a chair in front of the shop while waiting for Jihan to finish work. An hour later, Jihan left the shop and immediately met Elisa.

"I thought you were home because you were tired of waiting so long for a cashier at work." Said Jihan.

"Jihan, the way you talk is very excessive. Even though I'm your friend, your best friend. There's nothing wrong with waiting for her friend even though she's just a cashier!" Elisa never underestimated Jihan's work.

Jihan smiled. "Sorry, just kidding! Here, have a drink!" Jihan handed Elisa's favorite chocolate-flavoured milk box.

"Wow, super understanding is just Jihan! I love you, my bestie!"

Jihan sighed and sat in the seat in front of Elsa. "So, what did you need to see me for, hm? Let me guess, this seems like something important? You're willing to wait so long until I'm done with work." Jihan asked.

"Marry Noah Priatmoko!" Elisa said.

"Hah?" Shocked Jihan. What kind of joke is this?

"Come on, you have to help me! You know that if I only love Edo? I can't marry Noah! You have to replace me and marry Noah!"

"I know you and Edo have been dating since the third grade of high school, you both love each other, but you're officially Noah's fiancé! The party was last night, right? How could it be canceled!"

"Who says it can't be cenceled? Of course it can!"

"..." Jihan looked at Elisa.

"Noah said, if you agree to marry him, then my engagement with him can be annulled." Elisa looked at Jihan expectantly. "That's why you just marry Noah! ... One more thing, the two of you were in a relationship before, it shouldn't be difficult for those of you who already know each other to get married." Add Elisa.

"Why me? There really is no other woman who can replace you married to him?" Jihan complained who still objected.

"Noah said he only wants to marry you! Only you, Jihan!"

Jihan got goosebumps. Noah is not a simple man. Noah is complicated, as complex as untying a ruffled rope.

"I'll give you some time, so please think about it first, Jihan!" Elisa said.

"..."

Jihan was busy with her own thoughts. She knew that Elisa really loved Edo. Marrying Noah will only make her best friend suffer. However, should she replace it? Married to Noah? Has she gone crazy?

"Why should I marry him?" Jihan was frustrated just by imagining it.

Elisa was crying because it seemed that Jihan didn't want to help her. "I don't want to marry a man other than Edo! Noah and I are more comfortable as friends. I really love Edo. If I can't be with Edo, I'd rather just die! Huwaaa... Everyone is mean to me! No cares about me! Forcing their will on me without asking how I feel!"

Jihan sighed again. "Y-yes, I'll think about it first! I'm sorry... Don't cry, Elisa. You look really bad when you cry."

Elisa quickly wiped her tears away. "This is the European-style restaurant reservation card I ordered for the two of you." Elisa handed Jihan a reservation card.

"?" Jihan accepted the reservation card.

"Talk about this with Noah tonight at your romantic dinner! I'm going first. I have to meet Edo who is crying at his house. Bye-bye my dear, Jihan!" Elisa's smile immediately disappeared from in front of Jihan.

"Haiiishh, that vixen! Damn, I was fooled by her crocodile tears! Haaah..."

Jihan, who was annoyed, looked at the reservation card that Elisa gave him.

"Meet him huh? How long have I not seen him? The last time I saw him was about two years ago at graduation. Haah... today, I sighed too much."

At 7 pm , Jihan and Noah met.

Z Restaurant is a classic European style restaurant. According to information from Elisa, Jihan meets Noah at a restaurant that doesn't seem to fit her wallet. Of course! In fact, the toilet is more expensive than her rental house.

Huh!

And now, look at him! He's Noah Priatmoko!

No one doubted the good looks of this man. From head to toe, everything looks perfect. Don't ask about money, the man who when bored accidentally buys a helicopter is the youngest son of the Priatmoko family, owner of one of the largest company in Asia, Priatmoko Group. Noah Priatmoko, Jihan's ex-boyfirend.

"Candlelight dinner is a European-style restaurant and you come in wearing only a T-shirt and jeans? Where do you keep your brain? It's nice to embarrass yourself." Noah said.

"I'm the one who's embarrassed, not you! So I don't have to worry about your word poison." Jihan said curtly.

"Still hurt about the past, huh?"

Jihan pointed a fork at Noah. Noah dodged it quickly and held Jihan's right hand tightly. Noah sighed and gave Jihan a cold look.

"Ah, you did the same thing as what Edo did yesterday. The difference is, Edo hit me in my face."

Noah let go of the long brown haired girl's right hand. Yesterday, Edo was disappointed because he was engaged to Elisa.

Elis ia Edo's girlfriend.

"Oh, I didn't ask and I didn't want to know either." Jihan said.

In her mind, it was natural for Edo to hit Noah. Edo and Noah is bestfiend. Seeing Edo's lover, Elisa, betrothed to Noah, of course Edo will be furious. It's still lucky Noah just get hit, it's even better to be killed all at once.

"I don't want to be make it complicated. I'm sure you've heard everything from Elisa. So how about getting married or going out first?" Noah asked.

"You're in too much of a hurry, Sir!"

Noah got up from his seat. He walked casually towards Jihan who was sitting in front of him. He then touched Jihan's chin so this beautiful girl looked at him.

"I suggest, it's better if you just get married right away, after all we've also been in a relationship before... We're already familiar with kissing, right?" Noah said.

Jihan held back her emotions and brushed Noah's hand from her chin.

Noah held his hand again and this time the man locked Jihan's hand quite tightly.

Jihan could see Noah's face getting closer, she could feel his warmth, hear the sound of his breath, and smell the man's expensive perfume from his body.

"This is the only way out..." Noah whispered. "Not only you will be able to save your best friend's love story, you will also be able to make your sickly sister feel the beauty of the outside world." he continued.

"What do you mean by that?" Jihan asked.

"I've found a suitable heart donor for your sister, if you agree to marry me, then the heart transplant procedure will be carried out immediately." Noah replied.

"..." Jihan was at a loss for words. It just froze in place. Right now, she was being held captive by Noah's annoying words.

She wanted to help Elisa, but she didn't want anything to do with Noah anymore. But what about her sister? Did Noah really find a suitable heart donor for Maura?

Exciting offer!

Even so, Jihan didn't want to easily fall for the words of her ex-lover.

"I want a loving husband, not a cold person like you. Marry you? You better dream!" Jihan said.

Noah then smiled sarcastically. "You always sell high. Don't you want to see your sister grow old?"

"I told you, I want a loving husband not a cold person like you who is crazy and— mmph."

?

And Noah kissed Jihan's lips before Jihan finished her sentence.

Yeah, he kissed her.

Jihan could feel Noah's cold lips meeting hers. It didn't feel like what she had imagined. It wasn't her first kiss, but it felt completely different. It felt like those cold lips were slowly becoming warm.

The kiss was a forced kiss from Noah, but somehow Jihan didn't want the kiss to end.

Noah broke his kiss on Jihan.

"It is done, right?" Noah said.

"..." Jihan looked annoyed at Noah.

"I've become as affectionate as you want me to be. If you're still lacking, we can continue at the hotel after this." Noah added.

Jihan wiped the kiss marks from Noah. "Tch!" Upset.

"So, are you going to help Edo and Elisa or not? ... Ah, I'll change my question, you seem to have no other choice but to marry me, right?" Noah knows that he will win his ex-girlfriend.

"..." Indeed had no other choice. Jihan knows it better.

If she married Noah, her sister's life could be saved too. Jihan thought hard.

Noah took a ring from his coat pocket and gave it to Jihan. A diamond ring.

Jihan took the diamond ring and wore it on her ring finger. She's gone crazy. It's really crazy! But there was a side of her heart said that she had made the right decision.

Jihan wants Elisa and Edo, who have helped her a lot, to live happily. More than that, she wanted Maura, her sister to be healthy and live a long life.

"Is this a black and white wedding?" Jihan asked.

"If you want to think of it that way, I'm fine. However, you still have to follow my rules." Noah said.

"I can follow all your rules."

"Good."

"I also have a condition."

"Say what is it?"

"I want you to not interfere in my private life." Jihan asked.

"Okay. No problem."

"Deal!"

This might be too fast, too pushy, but it can't be helped, Jihan needs Noah's money to save her sister, Maura. By trying to get rid of the existing doubts, Jihan steps firmly to marry Noah, her ex-boyfirend who once hurt her feeling long time ago.

The sound of applause rang out loudly filled a magnificent and large hall in the middle of city A. An elite party hall known to be very expensive to rent. The large white-painted building was transformed into luxurious and amazing decoration. The silver decoration with sparkling curtains as if covered in beautiful crystals, tables with various types of expensive food, as well as acoustic music that adds to the classy impression of tonight's wedding party.

Jihan don't know how much money has been disbursed for the festive event which is being held on December 31st. But that certainly wasn't a problem for the rich man, like Noah Priatmoko.

Tonight is a special night for Jihan dan Noah, an event that can be said to be 'big' and historic.

The night where they unite their relationship to a higher level. A wedding.

The big party being held tonight is the wedding of Noah Priatmoko and Jihan Arisa.

"Mr. Noah..." Said a man appointed to officiate Jihan and Noah's wedding ceremony, Abraham. "You can put the ring on Miss Jihan's ring finger." He continued.

Noah was silent for a few seconds, but in the end this handsome-looking man moved his hand, taking the expensive diamond ring that was still stored in the red box. Then gently grabbed the hand of the beautiful girl in front of him.

Noah did it quickly—he wanted this to end soon.

Less than ten seconds his wedding ring was beautifully pinned on Jihan's ring finger. As soon as it was there. The applause rang out again shortly after Noah had done what Abraham had been told.

"This time it's your turn, Miss Jihan..." Abraham spoke again. "It's your turn to put the ring on Mr. Noah's finger." He added.

Jihan seemed to nod nervously.

This is for her best friend and sister! She convinced herself again and again. There was doubt in her heart. But soon she brushed it off.

Slowly she took a ring left in the box, after taking a deep breath, she touched Noah's left hand, a hand that was bigger than hers and felt so warm.

Yeah, felt so warm.

Jihan was stunned for a moment, subconsciously she began to enjoy the comfortable sensation.

"Jihan?"

"Eh?" Jihan panicked.

"Sorry, I'm so nervous right now."

The guests who came suddenly laughed amused at the innocent words spoken by Jihan.

"Ahh, take it easy, Honey. Don't be so nervous... Do it with confidence, just like when you serve shop customers." Noah whispered.

Honey?

Serve shop customers?

Jihan looked at Noah annoyed. How could Noah say something like that? Likening herself to being a cashier? And again, Honey? Seriously!

"Cheer up, Jihan! Put on the ring!" Elisa shouted from the guest chair.

"Just brush it, Jihan! Then have the first night after this!" This is Edo, Elisa's lover who is a friend of Noah and also Jihan. "Noah can't wait!" he added excitedly.

This makes the atmosphere become busier again.

"Sister Jihan, don't be nervous!" Lea, co-worker Jihan at the shop, cheered on her too. She didn't forget to take lots of photos for memories.

Jihan's beautiful eyes then glanced at her friends who were too excited when encouraging her. Jihan nodded with certainty, slowly and boldly, she began to pin the ring to Noah's finger.

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"

The cheers of a request to do the kissing scene echoed in the banquet hall. Jihan glared at Noah because Noah was seen grinning at her. She pulled away a little when Noah grabbed her slender waist. Uncomfortable.

However, what could she do, she accepted with resignation a kiss on the lips from Noah. Can't be angry.

Finally, with her red face, she could only show off her strange smile to all the invited guests. Waving as if you are already the happiest bride in this world.

"Let's give another round of applause for our young couple!"

That way, Noah and Jihan have now officially become husband and wife. A husband and wife are bound in a sacred vow before God. But the fact is in the heart a lot of crazy feelings raged.

"There is no love in our hearts, but we dare to bind ourselves in the sacred bond of a marriage. May God not curse our wedding life."

.

.

.

All the invited guests congratulated this newlywed couple.

"Jihan, Noah, thank you so much for helping me and Edo." Elisa said. She honestly said this from her heart. "If Both of you don't get married, Edo and I won't be able to be together." She added.

"Sis, Bro, sorry for our selfishness! But only the two of you can help us." Edo said.

"Yeah, well, not just for the sake of you guys. Noah and I both have our own bussiness." Jihan said.

"Hn. Take it easy." Noah said.

Edo noticed the slight smirk on Noah's lips. In his heart he thought that Noah must be planning something for Jihan. He knows what happened in the past and thinks it's not natural for Noah wants to marry Jihan.

"This man has a devil soul, I hope he doesn't mess with Jihan or play hard on her... And for Jihan, cheer up!" Edo thought.

.

.

.

Still in the mood for a wedding party. Noah saw Jihan who had been silent all this time.

"What's wrong? You don't like this party?" Noah asked.

"I don't understand how I feel right now. I don't know if I'm happy or not. We've been married, a week since we met at the restaurant that time. No romantic proposals with candles and roses. No preparation, but soon we're official. marry and become husband and wife." Jihan answered. She didn't lie about her feelings.

"You don't have to think about it, you and I both don't love each other. I need you and you need me. Our relationship will work like that."

"Hm. That's the right word to conclude this marriage."

Honestly, Jihan wanted to ask, why there's no one from Priatmoko Family attend this wedding party? If she remembered, she had never seen what Noah's family was like. Although she had dated Noah before, she had never been introduced to Noah's parents.

Even at graduation, Noah graduated alone. Until this moment, all she knew was that Noah had an older brother, and once again, she also had never known Noah's older brother like.

Noah's family is very mysterious. Maybe because Noah's family is the richest family in the country, so very busy and hard to find? Or maybe they don't really want to be exposed to the public for security reasons?

She don't know, Jihan herself doesn't understand it at all.

"My jaw hurts from smiling too much." mumbled Jihan.

"And act like the stupid clown that everyone's watching?" Noah continued.

Jihan quickly turned to Noah. "How would you know if I wanted to say that too?" Jihan asked.

"I can read what's on your mind."

"Tch, what kind of answer is that?"

Someone approached and brought a tray after Noah had coded to him. Then he took something from the tray.

"What is this? Marriage contract?" Jihan asked.

Noah shook his head. "No, here's your new ID card, marriage certificate and transfer of assets in your name and a new bank account for you." Noah replied.

Jihan opened the 'stack' of documents that Noah had given him. There's a savings with 7 zeros in there. There is ownership of the villa as well as a shop on behalf of OneMart.

Ah, apparently Noah bought the OneMart store where she worked before.

"For this much money and assets, you don't intend to give me away for free, do you?" Jihan asked.

"Of course! You know best that I don't want to give all of them for free." Noah replied.

Of course Jihan knew how Noah was. She had known all the qualities and attitudes of Noah for a long time. "Okay, tell me what you want!" Jihan looked at her 'official husband'.

"Give birth to me!"

"Hah?"
