365 Day Contract

Chapter 8

The awkwardness and nervousness gradually dissipated over the friendly attitude of the two Shaka parents. Jihan can blend in quickly, because basically the girl is humble and easily puts herself in any situation.

In less than 1 hour, the closeness of Jihan and her future in-laws is like people who have known each other for a long time.

Sonia even asked Jihan to call her Mama. It was able to cause a warm swish in Jihan's heart over Sonia's open attitude towards such a simple girl.

Jihan to wonder in her heart, I don't know which woman will be lucky to get in-laws as good as Sonia.

"Tomorrow Mama look at your Mama." Sonia said enthusiastically.

Jihan glanced at Shaka. Jihan doesn't dare to make a decision, so she lets Shaka answer her Mama's wishes.

Understanding the meaning of Jihan's gaze, Shaka then opened his voice.

"We went to the hospital together, after Jihan and I got home from the company." Shaka.

Sonia nodded in agreement. There's no way he'd suddenly come alone to meet his candidate without Jihan. Moreover, Jihan said that she had not told her man about the wedding plan that will be in the title in the near future. So Sonia thought about going with Jihan and Shaka instead.

The clock continues to turn. Seconds change minutes. It's been 2 hours since Jihan visited the mansion. He talks softly to Shaka to take him to the hospital because he has to change with Juna to take care of their Mama.

"I took Jihan to the hospital first." Pamit Shaka who immediately moved from her seat.

"Damn cocks first Mah, Pah. Kasian Juan, since morning have been looking after Mama." Jihan said politely.

Sonia and Mahesa smiled shadyly while nodding small.

"For your wedding date, we will discuss after your mother finishes the operation. Wait until he recovers." Sonia.

Jihan was pensive, her mind was fluttering, her heart was pounding when she saw the sincere smile and expectant twinkle from Sonia's eyes.

Did Jihan lie to a woman as good as Sonia.? His heart would be hurt if he knew that his son's marriage was just a contract marriage.

But what can Jihan do.? Here only Shaka is in power and all decisions are in his hands.

...******...

The journey from home to the hospital was quite quiet for some time. Only the sound of the song was heard softly, accompanying silence.

Jihan several times glanced at Shaka who was focused on driving. Until finally Jihan asked to answer the curiosity that tickled her heart while still in the house of Shaka's parents.

"Mama Pak Shaka really wants a wedding, why did Mr. Shaka not get married for real.?" Jihan asked as she looked at the man's face from the side.

Shaka turned his head, glancing sharply at Jihan until the girl had trouble swallowing her saliva.

"Sak Shaka don't get me wrong, I don't want to get married for real." Said Jihan quickly. She refuses to make Shaka think that she expects to be Miss Shaka without a marriage contract.

"Many beautiful and rich women out there are willing to be the wife of Mr. Shaka, but why should you choose to marry a contract and hurt the feelings of Mama Pak Shaka.?" Lirih Jihan be careful.

Shaka glanced again, this time with a flat look.

"I don't like you asking personal questions. Just do your job well." Said cold.

Jihan did not speak anymore, the girl chose to shut up and cast a glance out the window. Until Shaka's car entered the hospital basement, the two remained silent without a word.

Shaka escorts Jihan to Jihan's parents' hospital room. The tall man wanted to see the condition of his future father-in-law as well as meet with Juna, Jihan's only sibling.

As soon as the two entered the inpatient room, Juna seemed confused to see her sister coming with a man. Actually not confused because of that, but confused to see the man wearing clothes and items that do not seem cheap. Obviously only rich people who use branded and expensive items. Either the rich man from where his brother brought him until Juna rushed closer to Jihan.

But Shaka's hearing was sharp enough to hear Juna's whisper.

Shaka then reached out to Juna.

"Shaka, your sister's future husband." Shaka said flat.

He was introducing himself to the younger brother of his future wife, but his attitude was not friendly.

Juna received Shaka's hand as he looked at the older brother for an explanation.

Never told of having a lover or close friend, suddenly came to bring a future husband. Juna was obviously shocked.

Jihan invites Shaka and Juna to sit on the sofa, still in the room.

The 25-year-old woman was forced to make up the story in front of her sister, saying that she had been in a relationship with Shaka, but only now decided to get serious.

Juna immediately believed, because the brother was always honest and his life was straight.

"When will Mas Shaka marry Mba Jihan.?" 19-year-old Juna instantly turns mature, asking for reassurance on the man he says wants to marry his sister in the near future.

Their father is dead, it means that Juna will be the guardian of the brother. Teenagers who should focus on college are now burdened with big responsibilities. Become a marriage guardian for the Brother because their Papa has no relatives anymore.

"After your mother's surgery and recovered." Shaka answered without hesitation. Jihan only glanced at a glance.

Just 30 minutes Shaka how much there, then leave home. Jihan escorted to the front and there was no more conversation. Both are still strangers to each other.

...******...

That morning Shaka woke up at 7 a.m. He immediately took a shower and prepared because he had to go out of town to visit the branch.

While buttoning his shirt, the tall man went down the stairs. His tie and suit are still perched on his left arm.

The man went to the dining room, where his mother had just finished preparing breakfast.

"This piece is ready. Where are.?" Sonia thrust an empty plate in front of her son. Shaka was already sitting in front of the dining table, his fingers were so adept at putting on a tie.

"Bandung, there's business at the branch office." Shaka answered briefly.

"Papa's awake yet.?" Ask while putting food into the plate.

"Jogging, soon to go home." Sonia replied and joined the dinner table.

Although Mahesa is old, but still diligent sport. No wonder that his body is healthy and looks fresh at an age that is no longer young.

So did Sonia and Shaka, the family was indeed diligent in sports.

"Later if you're the same Jihan is married to, just stay here. Let Mama have her friends at home."

Shaka raised his face, staring at the happy twinkle on his face. Soon her mother will get a daughter-in-law.

Shaka's feelings started to get agitated. Fear of hurting the heart of the woman who has bet her life gave birth to her.

"Let's talk again, I'm in a hurry." Shaka rushed to eat his breakfast, he left after the food ran out.
