Chapter 289 - Where Are You?
"Lisa, will you be my wife?"
The blonde-haired man held Lisa's hand while looking at her eyes tenderly. Proposing to someone at a nightclub wasn't something that most people usually did, but he wanted this special moment to be remembered by Lisa. Hence, he deliberately took her to the place where they first met, even though they had many embarrassing memories there.
Lisa was stunned to see the diamond ring in front of her now. It seemed like it was just yesterday when she married that man. Now she was being proposed again, but this time officially and with genuine feelings of love. Lisa was not just a woman who satisfied Oscar's desire, she was the love of Oscar's heart.
The woman looked at Oscar's handsome and dazzling face. The man never appeared haphazard. Even though he was only wrapped in a towel, the golden haired man still looked charming in her eyes. His athletic body was wrapped in a black turtleneck, revealing his seductive curves, giving off a sexy and relaxed impression.
"Oscar, you..." Lisa's tongue suddenly went out, it was a simple diamond ring. It only cost tens of millions, but all she saw was Oscar's sincere love and intention to propose to her.
Lisa put the box containing the diamond ring on the bar table and kissed Oscar's sexy lips all of a sudden. The man was shocked.
Lisa rubbed Oscar's firm, chiseled cheekbones gently. Without realizing it, this tall, slender man had pulled her body into his arms and returned her hug.
"Oscar, I want to marry you," Lisa said softly as she looked up, staring at Oscar's clear blue eyes sparkling in the multicolored spotlights.
In return, Oscar smiled then hugged her again. He lowered his head so that his lips were in line with Lisa's ears then whispered, "Will you dance with me?"
Lisa nodded, she grabbed Oscar's hand then pulled him to the dance floor. Along with their slow and gentle footsteps, the stomping electronic music had now become soft. It seemed like many couples were drunk in love tonight, so the DJ played soft romantic music to accompany the visitors to dance with their respective partners.
Lisa looked closely at Oscar's handsome face, she didn't want this beautiful night to be forgotten. Without realizing it, her hand gently stroked the man's face, saying, "I love you Oscar..."
Oscar replied with a soft touch on Lisa's waist. "I love you too, Lisa."

Early morning, at the Oscar residence.
The clock showed that it was 7 in the morning. Lisa woke up with a very happy and blooming heart. Last night, the man she loved finally officially proposed to her. She even dreamed of living their life together as a husband and wife until death separated them last night.
However, when she got out of bed, the man sleeping beside her was already gone. She wondered, where the hell was her future husband going this early?
Lisa got up from the soft bed and saw a small piece of paper taped to the dresser. She took the paper and read it.
'Lisa, you go to the chief's house first. I have a sudden meeting at the office. I'll follow up later. Oscar.'
Lisa was a little disappointed because her future husband was unable to accompany her to the private rented house. She didn't want that man to forget this special day. They both were getting married again!
What a happy day for Lisa. She couldn't wait to recite the sacred vow with Oscar.
Before she went down to the dining room for breakfast, Lisa took a shower and then made up like a guest about attending a wedding. She polished her lips with red lipstick and tied her hair back. As always, Lisa's makeup was always attractive even though it's simple. She was wearing a formal dress in pure white.
Lisa reached for her tote bag, putting in her cellphone and wallet as well as important documents to be handed over to the Civil Registration Office officers after leaving the house of the chief and then came down to breakfast.

Lisa went by taxi to Oscar's rented private house. The road that morning was unexpectedly congested, even though she left the house as early as possible. 'I hope it's not too late!' She said in her heart.
However, when the taxi turned left, the road was so jammed that it almost stopped. Seeing this unpleasant sight made Lisa's happy and calm heart restless. She looked anxiously at the line of vehicles stuck in traffic.
"Sir," Lisa said to the taxi driver, "The road this morning is really jammed, huh?" She continued.
"Yes, you know that the traffic jams in Jakarta are often unexpected," the taxi driver replied casually while holding the wheel.
"What time will we arrive at the destination?" Lisa asked again, worried.
"I don't know, it could be in one or two hours," the driver replied.
Lisa's mind began to fog. First, she was afraid that she would be late. Second, she had been on the road for almost half an hour, and still Oscar had not contacted her again.
To ease her anxiety, Lisa took out her cell phone and texted Oscar.
Lisa: Oscar, are you leaving? I'm stuck in a bad traffic jam again!
The woman clasped her cell phone shakily. Sweat started to seep out from behind her hands as she grew increasingly worried. Every now and then she looked at her cellphone, waiting for a reply from Oscar.
It had been ten minutes since she'd sent the message, but Oscar still hadn't replied. This made Lisa's heart more restless. What if Oscar couldn't accompany her on their special day?
Lisa could only pray and hope that the roads would gradually disperse and she'd arrive in time.
An hour and a half later, Lisa arrived at the house of the chief. She was greeted by the owner of the house and was invited to sit and wait. She took out her cell phone, checked the notification but there was still no notification from Oscar at all.
Five minutes of waiting with the cellphone she was still holding, a notification arrived on her cellphone.
Andien: Yippieeee someone's getting married today, congrats! Don't forget to invite me to the wedding party!
Reading the message that was clearly not from Oscar made Lisa a little disappointed. But she was also happy with her friend's attention. It didn't take long before another notification arrived.
Dimas: Lis, let's celebrate the wedding! I've prepared a special drink for the two of you later when you go to the Sky Lounge again.
Again, it was not from Oscar. But Lisa was happy, her best friends were all considerate. Lisa replied to the two messages from her close friend then took a deep breath.
Lisa waited half an hour but there was still no sign of Oscar arriving at the ruler's house. She looked at her cell phone again, no notification came in. Lisa's mind began to cloud, she was afraid something bad might happen to Oscar.
Without thinking, Lisa immediately made a call to Oscar.
"Hello?" Oscar's voice from across was very sexy and melodious to Lisa's ears.
"Oscar, where are you? I've arrived at the house! They're tired of waiting for us!" Lisa complained in a troubled tone.
"Yes, dear I'm leaving soon, I just finished a meeting," Oscar replied from across. His voice sounded very rushed.
"Okay, I'll wait, I love you!" Lisa hung up the call then waited some more.
***
Half an hour waiting, Oscar still hadn't just arrived. Lisa's heart was pounding more and more, her heart became more restless and her patience was running out. She took the initiative to call her future husband again but she was hesitant. She didn't want to bother Oscar on the trip so she dropped her intention from pressing the phone button on her cell phone.
Suddenly, she had a bad feeling. Without thinking, Lisa immediately called Oscar again.
"Oscar, where are you? It's been half an hour!" She exclaimed, starting to run out of patience.
"Lisa, I'm sorry," Oscar replied from across. "I can't come today, how about we change the schedule next week?"
Hearing Oscar's answer just now made Lisa disappointed and worried. What if that man was about to trick her like her former lover, Aditya?
"Oscar, why?" Lisa asked.. Her suspicion grew bigger.
