The CEO Loves Two Women

South Korea, Busan.

Incheon International Airport

Hi, I'm Seo Hyung Joon,

I've been writing this since a few years ago, I don't know the reason why I like writing like this, maybe because I don't know who to tell the complexities in my romance to and this white paper becomes a confidant, well you could say that. Do you know what this book contains? I always fill it with the name Asiyah, yes my first love and also my first wound, a little painful. Indeed!

What I'm writing, might just be a reminder that I once loved a very perfect figure, that's my opinion. I admit I'm not a poetic man, let alone a man full of romance, I'm a stiff man, that's the real me.

Sorry, yes I started with the word sorry. I'm sorry that I begged Asiyah to stay by her side.

Back then, I was a secret admirer, I admired her for her heart, her Sholehah, her soft speech, her mature thinking, her adorable behavior, it really amazed me. I admire her and love her, I really do. Having Asiyah is the most beautiful thing in life, that's the truth and I feel it every time I look at her my heart feels happy.

I really want to marry him and have a happy little family, I also want to be called Appa and want to be bothered by my child later. Whenever I think of him, I always fail not to smile. But I realized that as I got older, I was living love wrong, I loved him with my ego. My human ego sometimes makes me forget that the universe won't give me things that aren't mine, and in the end it's only me who feels it myself...

I ~~

The writing was cut off at the end of the word 'I'. Seo's chest felt stabbed reading the pain of her own heart, her eyes glazed over slightly as she noticed a small photo of Asiyah that she had taped to the corner of her book.

Forgetting and then letting go, in fact it is not that easy to get rid of feelings that are deeply embedded in the heart. Day after day continues to roll by but the feeling of love will continue to weigh on his heart.

Seo took a deep breath before continuing her writing. However, his intention was stopped when suddenly his cell phone in his pocket vibrated and Seo reached into his pocket and opened the phone. Visible on the screen is a message notification. And, Seo immediately clicked on the message and read it.

[Alhamdulillah, Masha Allah, TabarakAllah, you know I'm crying writing this message to you, right now I'm very happy. I have become a father, my wish that I have always wanted to realize, really, I can't describe how happy I am. Thank you, thank you for reuniting me and Asiyah. I am very grateful to you. Our first child is a boy and we gave the name Khalis Ghufran Adsiy, the meaning you find yourself, I can no longer type, but clearly I demand you to come here soon, just watch out if you don't see Khalis. Asiyah and I are eagerly awaiting your arrival. Oh yes, pray for us to be able to be trustworthy parents. May Khalis emulate our Prophet in the hereafter. Remember, I am waiting for your arrival. Prayers from us, may Allah grant you the best partner who is ready to accompany you to heaven-Nya✌️]

Seo immediately turned off her cell phone without replying. Fate was not in line with her wishes. Realize yourself, Asiyah won't come, is it really this hard to forget Asiyah?

Little by little, her heart felt relieved. Fortunately, the seat Seo was now sitting in was near a window where she could see the beautiful scenery below.

After feeling better, Seo resumed writing and was again thwarted by a notification that appeared on her phone screen.

His cell phone, which was lying not far away, allowed Seo to see who the message was from. Seo breathed a sigh of relief because it was no longer from Adam but this time his mama, then Seo immediately grabbed the cell phone and opened the message.

[Already on the plane? I can't wait to introduce you to the woman of my choice. She's so perfect Nak. Hurry up dear, I miss you]

For the umpteenth time, Seo let out a long sigh. This is why Seo always makes excuses not to go home, Seo is very lazy if she has to discuss the wedding, let alone meet with her college friends.

Her mother continued to push her and continue to control her. Yes Seo had always lived with her mom's wishes but when it came to marriage, Seo never wanted to be pressured. Seo never wanted to play around with marriage.

Marriage is not just about love, marriage is a religious recommendation that has sacred value and marriage is a very long worship, requiring a strong grip to survive and be valuable before God.

Seo felt hopeless and discouraged, her mama had forced her and Asiyah was unattainable.

Seo stared intently at the photo of Asiyah smiling at a small tree, seeing Asiyah smiling as if infected Seo smiled too. That shady smile made Seo feel at home to stare at the photo even though it was only from a sheet of photos.

Seo got this photo secretly. Seo photographed Asiyah without Asiyah's knowledge. She could not lie to her heart that Seo still hoped to make Asiyah hers. Indeed, parting with Asiyah was the fate of God that Seo least wanted.

Seo took another deep breath as she closed her booklet during the landing. The man closed his eyes, his back resting on the chair, his fatigue still very much felt.

In the corner of her eye, Seo mouthed a sentence as her brain kept replaying the face of Asiyah, the woman she loved so much, still vividly in her mind. "Aah, I yearn for the impossible!"

"Crave what, come on what is it? What you wrote, seriously. I want to see it!"

Seo snapped out of her trance, and as she suddenly straightened up a bit from the backrest, the sound really startled her. And to her further surprise, the long hair also covered half of her face.

When she looked up slightly, Seo saw eyes staring at her intently as well as a smile on those small lips. Vicky, yes it must be Vicky, Seo must not have been mistaken.

"Astaghfirullah, please move!" Seo was still stiffly silent, as she dared not move away or move her body forward because they might touch.

I don't know why the feeling of not wanting to touch women was planted in his heart, but it was Asiyah who made him like this. Asiyah had a good influence on his life.

Not heeding Seo's warning, Vicky continued to shake her head until her light brown hair swept gently across the side of Seo's face. It caused an amused sensation to Seo's own face.

Vicky even casually tried to grab Seo's little book that had made her so curious, and the two of them caused an uproar in the seconds of the plane landing. Seo who didn't accept it and Vicky who insisted on taking it.

"Akkhhh..." cried Vicky in pain, as who knows whose hand had dared to punch her shoulder so hard.

Vicky, who was already full of emotions, then turned her head to the side and it turned out that the one who punched her was a grandmother who was now also staring at her sharply, and no less sharply Vicky also returned the stare, even Vicky's lips also made a hissing sound.

"Future husband, hehe."

When he looked back at Seo who was breathing heavily from the fight earlier. At that very second Vicky immediately changed his expression with a big grin, because he couldn't stand his own words, future husband? That sounds really fun.

Seo, who saw that, snorted in displeasure. Vicky, his college friend, was in the same class as him. The woman he was avoiding, the woman he knew to be aggressive. Without being asked, Seo met her and even traveled with her. Tell her how she should escape!

Seo pushed her black suitcase in a bit of a hurry, how could Vicky not keep chasing her from behind and also shouting her name.

Seo felt like drowning herself, how embarrassed she was that the shouting not only called out her name but was accompanied by the words 'future husband'.

"You can't escape, you're mine,"

So aggressive, in fact, that Vicky had to pull the hodie behind her until Seo's steps were forced to stop. Why did they have to meet here?

"Woaww, what a coincidence, this is some kind of fate. Ah, we really are soul mates!"

The woman's long, elegant salmon-colored dress clung to Vicky's body. Her hair was pulled up in a bun with a side of hair on either side of her temple that was left hanging.

No doubt, Seo admitted that Vicky was beautiful. But she didn't like Vicky's aggressive attitude, even as Vicky tried to take her hand, or bring her face closer to her. Oh really this woman!

"Back off, don't get too close!" There was almost no distance between them, so Seo immediately stepped back.

Vicky, who heard the subtle warning, chuckled, looking very cute in Seo's eyes. And, Vicky's eyes also accidentally caught sight of a limited edition watch that was attached to Seo's wrist.

Vicky still chuckled, then impolitely punched Seo in the shoulder. Seo hissed angrily at that. He wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

"Alright alright, why are you so good at stealing?"

"Stealing?"

Vicky immediately nodded several times, with lips that did not stop smiling. "Hmm... yes stole my heart!"

Instead of being amazed by the teasing, Seo raised her left eyebrow as she stared strangely at Vicky. Not wanting to offend Vicky, Seo smiled slightly, only to see the left corner rise upwards.

"I'd love to touch you, let me smell my future husband. Mmmm... it smells so good!"

Ignoring Seo's words that had forbidden her to come closer, Vicky still immediately embraced Seo's tall, well-built body tightly.

She leaned her face against Seo's chest, inhaling the fragrant scent that she had missed for the past seven years. As they continued their studies, they were forced to separate at that time.

Seo's whole body was suddenly concentrated, because Seo had not touched a woman for a very long time. His body seemed to resist and felt uncomfortable. Seo immediately forcibly removed Vicky's body from hers.

"Don't touch me."

Instead of getting angry, Vicky chuckled widely at the words that fell from Seo's lips. Seo never changed, but she was still stiff.

This was more challenging for Vicky, as if Seo didn't want it when Seo really wanted to have it just like her mother-in-law said.

"I'm embarrassed that I can't stop smiling. You're amazing, so handsome hehe!"

Not seeing Seo's increasingly strange expression staring at her, Vicky picked up the cell phone that was in her bag.

It wasn't the time for Seo to run away, but for some reason her steps were petrified. I don't know if she was curious about what this girl would do. Until the cell phone in her hand rang, on behalf of an unknown number. Seo was surprised, but after seeing Vicky who was still smiling with the cell phone in her ear, Seo understood.

"How do you know my number?"

"It's not hard to find. Missed me, didn't you?" Vicky narrowed her eyes anxiously at Seo as she indirectly intimidated Seo's expression that seemed to miss her. That was just Vicky's guess, not Seo's.

"Hmm, probably not!"

After finishing her disinterested answer, Seo looked at the watch on her wrist. It turned out that he had spent thirty minutes just talking to Vicky with no benefit. It was time for Seo to leave now.

Suddenly, Seo was shocked to death when she felt someone's breath tickling her eardrums. It made Seo stiff and unable to move, she could only continue to listen to what Vicky had to say.

"I'm glad to finally see you, call me if you want to hear my voice. We'll see each other every day, just wait."

This has gone too far, Vicky whispered unusually. The woman even tried to tease her, her ears were blown softly by Vicky and it gave Seo goosebumps all over her body.

Seo immediately avoided without looking, then bowed half a degree towards Vicky who was in fact older than her, not far off by only one year. "Let's talk next time, say---,"

Vicky immediately cut off that remark and then without permission put his arm around Seo's, and hung there. Seo felt like getting angry, but she still respected someone who was older than her.

"Why not now? No, I don't want you to go. I want to eat with you."

Ignoring Vicky's words, Seo immediately removed Vicky's hand from his wrist. "Have a safe trip, excuse me!"

Seo immediately ran while pushing her suitcase with all her might. Seo covered his ears so he wouldn't hear what Vicky was saying, and he hoped she wouldn't chase him.

For God's sake, what was she dreaming about last night. Why did her mom set her up with Vicky. The criteria for a woman Seo didn't want to marry. He only wanted to marry Asiyah.

Vicky, who was left behind, knitted her eyebrows together. Confused by the behavior of the man who was running like he was being chased by a ghost.

Vicky felt like chasing Seo again, but his intentions had to be dashed because there were more important things that had not been taken care of especially if it was not his wedding reception with Seo.

Before Seo could run any further, Vicky raised her voice and shouted loudly. "Don't ever look at another woman, my future husband, I... love you."

Seo, who could still hear the shouting, continued to curse with her footsteps speeding up. Akhh, it feels like Seo is going completely crazy.

God, what's wrong? May Seo have to cry hard now! Please, she doesn't want to be matched!

**

At nine in the morning, Seo arrived at her parents' house. The towering gate was shifted open by the guard of her mother's residence.

Two security guards bowed as the master's car pulled in. Seo's car entered the yard of a classic Mediterranean-style mansion. His parents' house, which had been around for twenty years, was built when he was ten years old as a result of his hard work as a Director before he got the Ceo position in the company.

Once parked perfectly, Seo got out of her car. Before moving towards the main door, Seo first patted her favorite white car which she named Kiro, it had been a long time since she had seen Kiro and her mom had also delivered her car when she was at the airport so she didn't bother to take a taxi.

Just as Seo wanted to hold the door handle, an incoming message notification made Seo open the message first which turned out to be from her mother, no wonder her mother was the type of impatient Mama.

[in English] Where are you already? Arrived already? What took you so long, hurry up dear. Vicky is here, she's been waiting for you for a long time. Mama wants to talk about your wedding. You remember? Vicky's your college friend, she just got back from Australia. Hurry up, don't make her wait too long. Love you]

Seo snorted angrily, feeling like cursing. His life is really sad, the intention of wanting to avoid Vicky is even reunited again.

The airport alone drove him crazy, let alone having to meet in front of his mama made him even crazier. Akhh, Seo was too lazy to go in.

So, Seo preferred to step out of the yard with leisurely footsteps, while covering her head with a Hodie hood. Don't forget that around this complex, there are many mothers who want to know people's business.

Before getting to Taman, Seo's destination. Seo took a glance at her little friend's house, it was no different after she left Korea and chose to continue her studies in Jakarta. It felt like Seo wanted to ask, 'how are you?' because they had lost contact for a very long time.

Seeing that the park was quiet, Seo immediately sat her body on one of the swings, because she felt safe here to play games.

It was fun playing the game. I don't know what creature dared to jerk his body so much that it made Seo shocked, the cellphone was also shocked until it fell to the ground.

Seeing the perpetrator who turned out to be the gossip mom. Instantly Seo cursed inwardly, of course Seo still remembered the face of this mother, the middle-aged that Seo avoided so much. Why did Mrs. Kim know that he was Seo Hyung Joon, even though his head was covered by a hood.

"Nak, Joon right? Ah, that's right. I haven't seen you for a long time, just came back huh? Oh yeah, when will you get married, you'll get old, remember your age!"

Right, he was right, instead of being asked first, 'how are you, just getting more handsome, what is the secret, spil dong' instead he was immediately sprayed with the phrase 'when to get married'!

When to get married? That's how people ask, a bit of a joke, but it sounds like a mockery, not meaning to hurt but offend him. Marriage is not a race competition that is determined by who is fast he wins but marriage is a matter of stabilizing yourself too.

And Seo needs to improve to be better. The goal is certainly not only for the soul mate, but also as a form of obedience to His Lord.

Seo was about to casually answer the mother's question, which was seen from her expression as if she was waiting for an answer, but Seo inwardly cursed the mother who was really important in taking care of people's lives. Just as Seo was about to answer, there were already other mothers following.

"I'm old enough, my career has taken off. So when will we get married? Hurry up and don't delay, there's a partner for the sandals, Nak Joon is alone!"

Seo took a deep breath trying to calm down. Seo wanted to strangle the mothers for a long time, but fortunately she remembered that it was a sin.

As Seo got up from the swing seat, she gave a polite smile before answering Mom's first question.

"I will definitely have a partner but when I really feel ready, not when I'm no longer young."

Then after answering the first mother's question, Seo looked at the second Kim's mother, and then Seo also smiled the most polite smile.

"I have to be selective, I don't want to rush. There are still many things that are in fact happier if done alone, if forced I am afraid to be the cause of other people's heartache. My soul mate is still in God's keeping, so please, don't ask again when to get married."

Seo could tell by the looks on the ladies' lips that they wanted to ask more questions, but stopped when they were interrupted by a loud shout that Seo didn't know where it came from.

Seo flinched a little and so did the mothers, then Seo immediately looked back when she saw the eyes of the mothers who were talking to her turned in that direction. Seo was stunned because that house was his little friend's house.

"There is no day when the house is not noisy, every day there is always a big noise. I felt sorry for the child, she was pressured too much. He must be very scared."

"Try to understand the mother, you think it's easy to raise a child alone without a husband? Geez, just raising my son makes me want to run away!"

Seo couldn't understand what the two moms were saying, what exactly were they talking about, were they discussing her little friend's family. But why must there be the word 'without a husband'.

Indeed, Seo was burning with confusion.

Tired of guessing what happened, Seo preferred to go there because her curiosity was so great.

"Eomma, why are you treating me like this! Is your daughter only Kak Rae? I'm also your daughter Eomma I know I'm useless but why do you discriminate and let Kak Rae live as she pleases, while I Eomma never wants to fulfill my request, I don't want to marry Congressman Yoon, I don't want to Eomma."

The girl looked down blankly, with unstoppable tears flooding her cheeks. Her breath came in short gasps, her chest feeling full and tight despite the girl's repeated punches to her chest.

It collapsed and collapsed even more when I saw a suitcase beside Eommanya, did Eommanya intend to throw it away from here?

The girl's mother, Choi Hyo Won, chuckled in displeasure. Looking down on the girl who couldn't move or do anything.

"You've started to argue, have you forgotten? You live only to trouble me. In this world, you were a bully from the start. You don't deserve to live, you son of a bitch, you're just a burden to me!"

Her heart stopped beating, as if she couldn't believe her own Eomma's words, the girl could only freeze, gripping her grip tightly.

The girl was suffocating with wounds, day by day the dagger had sunk deeper and deeper, Eommanya's own words were destroying her life. Truly, she never asked for this kind of life!

Even if the girl complied with her Eomma's request to marry her off to the Congressman, it would be even more torturous and could even lead to instant death, as he would only enslave her.

The tears of pain that were unstoppable continued to reveal devastation, the girl timidly looked up at Eommanya who was staring at her with hatred. "Then, just get rid of me now!"

The girl screamed very loudly, pouring out all the pain that had been stabbing her soul.

"STOP IT, THAT'S ENOUGH!" Mrs. Choi's hand that was about to strike the girl again was stopped, when the sound of the door slamming and opening wide was accompanied by a loud shout, revealing Joon who was covered in wrath on every inch of his face.

For the past two minutes, Joon has been standing outside listening to the conversation between Auntie Choi, whom he knows so well, and his little friend Ara. He couldn't bear to listen any more and stayed silent.

The girl was stunned when she heard a very familiar voice in her ears. Indeed, that voice always remained alive and clearly recorded in her heart, the voice of the face of the man she hoped to see again. The girl did not want to turn around or turn her head, she was afraid that if the hope was not there, she was afraid that it was just similar.

Seo stayed where she was, rounding her eyes in shock and disbelief. His hands that were clenched on either side of his body slowly loosened.

Seo was too exhausted to make a sound. What the heck is going on? What's wrong with Ara? Why is Ara sitting on a wheelchair? Wasn't it seven years ago, Ara was still fine and even drove him to the airport when he wanted to leave to continue his studies in Jakarta.

Mrs. Choi stared fiercely at Seo's face who had just stepped out gallantly while looking at her flatly.

It turns out that someone dared to interfere apparently. Seo saw that it felt like seeing a different person, Auntie Choi's aura was very different from seven years ago.

"Auntie, I don't know what really happened. But you shouldn't talk to Ara like that!"

Ara's hand, which was tightly gripping the handle of his wheelchair, suddenly slackened, trying to calm the pounding of his heart when he heard the voice calling him by Ara's name.

Really only the man she expected to call her Ara, only Kak Joon. Slowly, Ara turned her body to look at the person and Ara immediately looked down unable to stand her heart beating so fast. Kak Joon, it's Joon, her heart rushed when she mentioned the man's name.

Just a second of seeing Ara's face turned towards him, made Seo immediately turn his face away unable to look at the pain in Ara's eyes, Ara's pale face with puddles of tears in his eyes pressed his chest tightly.

"Tsk, how dare you interfere, just think! Children are born because their parents need them. Just ask your parents, do they need a useless child?" Mrs. Choi snapped angrily.

"Eomma..." Ara said in a trembling voice, one that was very fragile and wounded. She struggled to keep the trembling from spreading throughout her body. This trembling was too painful, like being stabbed by thousands of maggots slowly.

"It shouldn't have been born!" Seo's voice boomed, uncontrollable despite his best efforts to lower his intonation.

Seo's face clouded with disbelief when Eomma Ara said those words in front of her own biological daughter.

Without many words, Seo immediately walked over to Ara and knelt in front of the girl, his heart aching at the sight of the tears that welled up in Ara's sad-looking eyes, Ara's cheeks also had deep blue bruises. The girl continued to look down with her shoulders shaking violently.

"Ara, listen to me. I'll marry you soon!"

Ara widened her eyes in disbelief. Her heart rate exceeded the normal limit.
