Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

The room was quiet again. The temperature dropped as the sun set. 

Waiting was so boring, especially in a temporary blind state like Lisa was right now. There was no entertainment other than to curl up, lay down her tired body, and listen to the silent voices from outside her room's door.

No matter how focused Lisa stared at an object in the room, the shadow of the object remained blurred. It had been a day since the accident but her vision had not returned to normal.

'Is this how it feels like being short-sighted?'

When the clock showed 3 pm, a nurse came to bring a tray into Lisa's room. The nurse placed the tray on the table near the bed while patting Lisa on the shoulder. "Good afternoon, it's time to eat, Miss Lisa."

In response, Lisa turned to the nurse's blurry shadow and smiled.

"If you need help to eat, I will help you," the nurse offered. Her voice sounded very soft and friendly.

"No, I can do it myself. Thank you," Lisa replied while pulling the table.

"If you need help, press the bell button okay?" The nurse helped Lisa fix the table in front of her and hurried out with the leftover cutlery from earlier.

The woman then grabbed the spoon and stirred the soup. The aroma of the soup was very bland. When she tasted the soup, she began to lose her appetite. She thought that hospital food didn't taste good. Lisa hoped that Rangga would bring food or snacks if he visited her later.

Lisa swallowed the bland soup feeling a little anxious. 

Her heartache had been growing since her ex-husband started to enter her life again after not meeting for a long time. It was as if the man was destined to be in her life no matter what happened.

No, Lisa's mind began to daydream that one day she would try to talk to that European man again. She shouldn't get there since she didn't want to repeat the same mistake. But the man's temptation was too strong to resist!

'Lisa you idiot! Oscar is a jerk, why are you still thinking about him? Do you want to go back with him?'

Lisa turned, staring at the shadow of the chair next to her. She stared at the chair for a long time as she pondered where Oscar was at the moment. Did the man go back to the office again, or relieve himself with a cigarette in the canteen?

'Lis! Why do you think of him again!?' The woman shook her head, trying to distract her mind from thinking about Oscar. 

'Damn! If only my vision returned, I'd have been texting with Rangga!'

The woman snorted, she began to lose her appetite. She laid down her back on the bed while pulling the blanket to cover her chest. The room temperature was very cold and piercing, making her body tremble.

***

When the clock showed 6, she heard someone open the door and entered. The sound of his footsteps sounded steady. The figure seemed to be carrying a plastic bag like this afternoon.

"Lisa, I bring more food for you," Oscar said while placing a plastic bag on the table.

Lisa was silent for a moment. She turned to the tall shadow of the golden-haired man and said, "I thought you were gone."

"I told you, I will not leave you until you are fully well," Oscar replied in his heavy voice.

Lisa couldn't see the expression on the man's face clearly, but from his intonation, it was clear that the man seemed to be taking care of her. Oscar then sighed as he took out the food from the plastic bag.

"I did not expect a rich man like you to buy me street food," Lisa said.

"Don't talk carelessly, this isn't a street food! This is shark fin soup!" The man then spooned the soup and fed it to Lisa.

"It tastes weird, but it's delicious," Lisa said as she swallowed the soup. "Right, it isn't much better than hospital food."

Both of them looked awkward that night. There was no flexible and warm conversation between the two. The only warmth that could be felt among the two was from Oscar's effort to feed Lisa with the soup.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet. Only the sound of the applause and the squeaking of Lisa's tiny lips echoed throughout the room.

In the last spoon, Oscar got up from his seat and took a glass of water for Lisa. "Don't forget to drink."

The woman sipped the water slowly. "Thank you," Lisa said softly.

"Oscar," Lisa said, breaking the cold.

The man cleared his throat in response.

"You don't have any work today?" Lisa asked softly.

"No, everything is finished. I am here to accompany you," Oscar replied in his sensual heavy voice.

"You don't need to accompany me here. I can take care of myself, and besides, there is a nurse to help me."

"Never mind, don't think too much about my company's affairs. You have to rest a lot," Oscar caressed Lisa's shoulder gently. Unfortunately, the woman couldn't see his face clearly.

The atmosphere in the room became quiet again. Oscar leaned his body against Lisa's bed while gently touching Lisa's curly fingers.

Lisa's fingers were very cold and pale. He wanted to kiss her palm to keep her warm. But no, the man tried to resist his desire to kiss Lisa. 

Instead, the man rested his head on Lisa's shoulder. His warm body temperature immediately crept into Lisa's cold skin.

His body temperature made Lisa feel more comfortable and safe. She began to close her eyelids to get ready to sleep. Everything slowly became dark. She then sighed as she adjusted her uncomfortable head position.

***

Moments later, Lisa finally fell asleep next to Oscar. However, there was a sound of footsteps from outside the room. The sound grew louder and louder until it finally stopped in front of the door to Lisa's room.

Someone opened the door in a hurry to wake Lisa up. Not only that, Oscar also turned towards the skinny tall man with a humble look.

"Lisa, are you alright!?" Rangga asked anxiously. He approached Lisa and placed a parcel on the table.

Hearing Rangga's light voice made Lisa's heart calm and relieved. "Rangga, you finally arrived!" Lisa exclaimed happily.

Oscar stared at Rangga with a jealous look. The man suddenly turned gloomy. It felt like he really wanted to drive Rangga away for disturbing Lisa's sleep.

"Rangga," Oscar said firmly. "Please be a little polite, Lisa just fell asleep."

"Oh, I'm sorry but I promised to visit Lisa after going back from the office," Rangga replied casually. "Hey Lisa, I brought you some cheese-cake this time!"

"Thank you so much, you're the best!" Lisa replied cheerfully. 

Hearing Lisa's positive response to Rangga made Oscar even more jealous. How could this woman be so kind and familiar with the man that he thought was irresponsible?

Oscar then got up from his seat and approached Rangga with a steady step. He pushed Rangga until the skinny man was cornered.

"Don't pretend to be good with her, Rangga!"
