Year 2003, Dubai International Airport, the moment Chelsea arrived to start her new challenging life. Graduate of Bachelor of Science in Economics. Chelsea will work in one of the finest management firm in an oil rich country of United Arab Emirates. Upon arrival to her exclusive one flat apartment in Jumairah Beach Village in the heart of Dubai City as company provided accomodation. She turn her self to look around her new lonse, its absolutely comfortable place to live with all ameneties, from a nice parking lot, electirc sweeping door of each room. Fully furnished apartment from automatic laundry machine, none stick heat stove and surround sound and viewing HD television. She couldn't remember tha last time she check-in a five star hotel, where she can found all of the high class furniture and electric stuff. Due to nine straight hours of flight she doesn't notice that she felt asleep in a Pesian inspired couch.
Following day, Chelsea woke up for the first day of work at Emaar Group as Chief Financial Consultant. She heads to the bathroom to take a shower and then move fast to fix herself. In her surprise she forget to unpacked her things from the laugage that make her feel bit crazy. She need to be ready for 15 minutes as the company car who will pick her up will be down the apartment in less than 20 minutes. Red pencil cut skirt, while blouse with top collar and black lady like coat suit that fit chelsea matching blackflats 3 ingches heels. She get right on time at the front of the apartment awaiting the company car who will drove her to the company.
Nice elegant cozy office where she will start her first day at work and many more day ahead. In awhile she will be expecting some or more of the top executive of the company, but before she meet those top executive she need to meet first her team of her department. She meets alot from her department, the bosses and even the other staff in ranking file, but of all the people-staff she meets only one undeniably tall, handsome and with perfect bluegreen eyes that every women will love to look everytime.
Rick Jay Smith, head finance manager of Emaar Group. He was the dream of all women. Smart, tall, handsome and most of all a kind hearted guy. The moment her eyes laid to him, she never stop wishing that one day she could have a chance to have a real conversation with Rick as they are only having a casual business talk, all conversation about hows company doing, what's the plan for this and that meetings and proposal nothing more nor less. One evening, Chelsea as she was driving her company issued car, she passes in one convinient store beside it are an open garden view bar. She will not be mistaken, she see Rick sitting alone with a tall glass of wine, without shyness or anything in mind she start walking towards him. He is bit surprised that she was here in front of him, no further talk he offer the chair on the other edge of his table. No talk, just a sign of him to take an order for Chelsea. A glass of cocktail for her that he know will be best for her. One glass led to second, third till she doesn't remember how many cocktail she consumed. She's tipsy and he's drunk. He decided to take her home by taxi. Chelsea know she can't go home alone so with trust she just go to the flow. Rick guide her towards the taxi and when they are riding the taxi all she remember she fall asleep.
Chelsea with a bit of her conciousness, she know Rick lead her to her apartment, she even remember she give her sweep key to open the door of her apartment and after that all she knows she kiss Rick and all is history. Following morning, she woke up feeling dizzy but so shocked to see Rick sleeping in her bed. She wants to jump off the terrace when all the thing registered back to her mind. She couldn't believe it, all she knows its a sweet dreams from a guy that she dream of to be with. But with what she see right before her eyes she knew the dream last night is not lust a plain dreaming but what it shows now so real the last night is a reality. They savour and make love. Make love? She doesn't know how to call it, but that last night was so perfect all are right but in reality there's a wrong thing happen. Rick is not her boyfriend, they are not even friend, but what they shared last night are only shared by couples, husband and wife, not like what they did a couple of hour ago.
He woke-up, speechless! He pick-up all his dress and wear it back, when he feel okay with his appearance. He headed going out of her room. She's sitting on the couch, he just look on her direction, and go straight in the front door out of the apartment.
She started to cry, maybe because of mix emotion – shyness and degraded etc. She go back to the room, cleaned up all the mess of last night. On her eyes she see a piece of paper with note. "Sorry for what happen. I shoudn't take advantage of your weakness and being in the spirit of alchohol. You may hate me Chelsea, but I hate myself more. You dont know me at all, I am in a big trial of loosing my wife due to car accident, I shouldn't done this. So sorry". "FORGIVE ME".
It is her day off. She believe things will be back to normal. Who cares, no one. It's one night, one unforgetable night. The next day, she prepared herself going to the work, while in the elevator on her way to her office, it suddenly open to just be shock that Rick is coming inside. All she know they are in the same elevator. Very casual, he greeted her. Then, thats the time she remember their board meeting. Sitting opposite him, make Chelsea uncomfortable. The meeting start, she presented all report and plans for coming months smoothly without any one knows how tense she everytime Rick look at her.
Days past so easy. She couldn't think what happen between her and Rick. Till one day, she feel so sick and she vomit. Chelsea feel sudden fear. She hope what in her mind are wrong. She get an early out that day at work. She go to the pharmacy to buy P.T. to her fear, she confirmed she is pregnant. Chelsea, was so confused and doesn't know what to do. As for the Arab law, what happen to her is forbbiden not useless she is married. How it will happen, she even doesn't have a boyfriend. That's the time she need to call Rick. Phone rings, he pick-up the phone and viola! He couldn't talk at all. How he will handle this, she bear my child, he is positive. Chelsea is clean women, he is her first, thats why she couldn't imagine how she sleep with him without hesitation. He need to think, he need to decide. He knows what happen to them are unexpected, but the fact that what happen are one of the best night of his life. He doesn't know how to react that time. He is under mourning for the lost of her wife, what he will expect. But this time, he needs to handle this situation smarter than ever. He get his phone, call-up Chelsea. He answer, we need to talk till they are in front of each other. He look at her, she become more prettier bearing my child. He couldn't speak straightly, he is afraid to what will happen after he finish what he want to tell him.
Chelsie thinks of what was his proposal. MARRIAGE. . . . . How can she be married to someone he doesn't even her boyfriend but the father of his child. She wants to be with him but she doesn't to be with him just for the sake of their child. She doesn't have a choice, she needs to agree or else she might got home pregnant without a husband or worst deliever baby at jail, which she doesn't think she can bear. Rick was so surprise to know that Chelsea accepted his proposal in his mind, he thank God for giving him this women, a blessing he couldn't imagine. On her quite mind, she thank God for giving her the chance to be with this man. She just pray that her decision is right. And live happily with this man of her dreams.
