BECOME AN ANTAGONIST
#114 (EDITION IRIS-GONZA)
A week passed and Iris was allowed home today. Iris decides to stay at Gonza's apartment. They are reluctant to occupy Lara's apartment because they do not want to trouble Lara.
And Lara didn't force it. He also escorted Iris to Gonza's apartment with Phoenix. Gonza's apartment is quite nice and luxurious because it is a gift from Mr. Silas because of Gonza's loyalty to Silas for many years to keep Lara.
Phoenix also complements all Gonza facilities. Phoenix and Lara already considered Gonza like their own family.
Moreover, Gonza is now in Phoenix's job in his office to become one of his trusted assistants.
Lara and Mr. Silas have no problem with that because Gonza's main task is to keep Lara in case of need.
"Are you sure I don't need to hire a nurse for Iris, Gonza?" ask Lara.
"No need, Miss." Gonza answered with great confidence.
"All right then. We go home first and take good care of Iris. I'll have you off duty from your job until Iris is completely healed" Phoenix said.
"All right, sir."
"Thank you, Mister, Miss," Iris replied smilingly.
Then Lara and Phoenix returned to their mansion because it was late at night.
Iris looked towards Gonza who had just closed the door of her apartment.
"I think we should hire a nurse. There's no way you're helping me take a shower, is there?" ask Iris.
"You don't want to be taken care of by me?" ask Gonza.
"It's not. But you're a man and I'm a woman. Even though I like you, I can't let you see me not wearing clothes, right?" said Iris.
"There's something I want to tell you" Gonza said with her usual flat face.
Iris saw the face of Gonza who remained handsome despite the scars that were long enough to decorate her cheeks.
Iris couldn't guess what Gonza was going to say because Gonza's expression was always the same at all times.
"Hmm, just say it," said Iris.
Then Gonza took out a small box from her pants pocket and then gave it to Iris.
"What's this?" ask Iris.
"You must know the contents inside. Just open it immediately," Gonza ordered in her cold heavy voice.
Iris opened the jewelry box and there was a ring there.
'Wait... Whatisthis? Is he going to propose to a girl and ask me for an opinion on this ring? Oh no, ' Inner Iris.
"Whose ring is this?" ask Iris.
"I gave it to you means it's yours" replied Gonza.
Iris looked at him in wonder.
"You're giving this to celebrate my return from the hospital?" ask Iris.
"Marry me" Gonza said suddenly.
"WHATT??!!" sahut Iris who almost half yelled.
"You're taking the wrong medication, Gonza. I know I wanted this a long time ago. But I'm still surprised that you said that" Iris continued with her face of shock.
"I don't like to beat around the bush. Tell me whether you accept my proposal or not" said Gonza, who still had no expression.
"You proposed to me? Oh my God. I can't believe there was a man proposing to a woman of that background" Iris said.
"Because I don't like too much drama. If you're willing I'll marry you this week" Gonza said.
Iris was still in shock with Gonza's proposal which was completely far from her expectations all along.
"Why do you want to marry me?" ask Iris.
"You like me and I need a companion. If we get married, I'll be more free to take care of you" Gonza replied.
"You don't like me?" ask Iris.
