8 To 4: The Mayor's Contract Wife

Undecided

"Aaauu! Mas! Help me!"

Wira turned around and found Ajeng sitting in the sand and groaning in pain because he accidentally stepped on the sea urchins. Wira rushed over and helped her then carried her back to the tent. Wira cleaned Ajeng's legs and pulled out the remaining fur and stuck it in Ajeng's legs. And of course it makes Ajeng never stop moaning. Having no medicine, Wira cleans it with water and then rubs it temporarily with a handkerchief.

“Try the check in the bag, Mas! Who knows there is an antiseptic liquid.” Pinta Ajeng while pointing at her backpack and suitcase.

“Who knows?” tanya Wira while unpacking Ajeng bag. “Kok you can not know what you brought?”

“The bushes are all.”

The hero paused for a moment.

“I didn't even know he was planning on sending me here. At first he just said we were going on our honeymoon to Brunei. But all of a sudden he just gave me the bag and the suitcase the same id card and this phone. Keep telling me to get on the boat here.”

Wira opened the Ajeng bag, checked the contents and took the p3k box he was looking for. He opened the box and found all the drugs that Ajeng might need, from wound pelsters to painkillers and antobiotics.

"Well, how does that jerk know that you get hurt a lot and need drugs like this?" muttered Wira while carrying the medicine box out.

“There's yeah?” tanya Ajeng cheerfully. "She must have taken it because I've been sick a lot and been in and out of hospitals lately."

"Is your wound still hurting?" ask the worried hero.

Ajeng uncovers the clothes that cover his stomach in order to show his scars to Wira. "This is not the one that hurts, but here" Ajeng replied as he clung his hand to his chest. "I fainted several times due to my physical condition and psychological distress. The doctor said I was depressed."

The hero directly poured the antiseptic liquid into Ajeng's wound. He was unable to express how much guilt he felt hearing the Ajeng story.

“Ngga is just a medicine box, but also canned food, vegetables, knives, ropes, mosquito repellent, there are even books in it.”

Ajeng's laughter suddenly faded from hearing the words of Wira. Ajeng pulled his bag and took out all the contents and it turned out to be true. All the back pack needs are in there. Bara even brought all his books that Ajeng read last night.

Ajeng suddenly recalled when Bara asked him what he wanted to do after successfully escaping a second time. Apparently this is what I meant that night. Ajeng smiled as he wiped his dripping tears without being asked. But suddenly the face of Wira appeared before him and disperse all his daydreams.

“Magain think of your ex-husband?”

“You are also my ex-husband, Mas.” Answer Ajeng ngeles.

“Morning turn the ship will return to the dock where you came. If you want, you can come home and refer to Bara. She loves you so much, Jeng.”

“But I love you, Mas. I've divorced Bara and ran this far for you. And now you're asking me to come back? Are you sure?”

“We can't mess with feelings, Jeng.”

“Did you just realize after asking me to make your marriage contractually?”

The hero nodded slowly while looking down. “I'm sorry, Jeng!”

Ajeng raised his face and wrapped his hands around the neck of the man who started to slam. “I won't leave you again, Mom? So please don't make me run away again!"

*****************

The next morning when Ajeng woke up, Wira was no longer in his tent. All the stuff's gone. Ajeng had searched everywhere but still could not find him.

Someone's coming. “Bu, the ship is ready.”

“Ship? Who wants to get on the boat?” ask a question back.

“So there are fathers who say that mother wants to come with us back to the dock.”

Ajeng. “Ngga. I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here. Where's the guy who told you to pick me up?”

“Have gone, Bu.”

Furious, Ajeng reentered his tent, ate the food he had and went to the beach to clean himself up. He also went around looking for firewood because maybe tonight he had to stay alone in the tent.

After collecting enough firewood, Ajeng returned to rest while playing his phone which could not be used because there was no signal. He opened the call list and only found Bara's name and number there.

It was getting dark and Ajeng lit a fireplace to cook water and warm himself. He was determined to survive, even without the Hero. And somehow he could not hold back his tears.

"That's all you do, Mas. After everything I sacrificed for you, but you instead ran away I was rich in gini." muttered Ajeng while sobbing in front of the fireplace.

Seeing his surroundings so dark and quiet made Ajeng shudder in horror. His mind started to drift everywhere. Not the villain he feared but the beast and the ghost.

Ajeng looked at the moving trees rubbing against the sea breeze and it made the feathers of Ajeng brim over. Suddenly, a flaming look of eyes approached him from the darkness of the night. Ajeng screamed in fear then suddenly someone threw the dog away from Ajeng.

“Mas Wira!” Ajeng hugged Wira in fear.

“Why are you still so stubborn? I know this is the free world. Many wild animals and ghosts that can eat you.” Omel Hero.

But Ajeng did not care at all how much the man would nag him. He remained in the arms of the Hero because he felt safe and comfortable.

“I told you that I won't leave you again right?” muttered Ajeng lirih.

“What if the dog bites you?”

“Living diobatin.”

“Continue why yelled rich earlier?”

“Attempts, Mas. His dog suddenly ran to me.”

Wira menoyor Ajeng's head. “Basic stubbornness.”

And Ajeng just grimaced without letting go of his embrace. "That's why you can't leave me, Mas. You should always take care of me 24 hours. You know I'm afraid of ghosts and wild animals?"

“After ngga?” ask Wira.

Ajeng shook his head and tightened his embrace to Ajeng's body.

“Lease!”

Ajeng back to shake.

“Leave ngga!”

“Ngga!”

The hero then raised Ajeng's body and carried it on his shoulders to be carried inside the tent. “Stay inside and don't you dare come out!”

“Each Mas Boss!”

The hero then grilled the fish for Ajeng. “What do you want to do now?”

“Life with Mas Wira.”

“What are we, Jeng? I'm no longer the mayor and not your husband.”

“I'm your future wife, Mas. I don't need a mayor, I just need you.”

“Jeng –“

“Mas! We just have to hold on until the election is over. After papa is elected, then we will come to Papa to ask for blessing. I want to marry you, Mas.”

“Do you think Papa you would agree?”

“I don't care if he agrees or not. I just want her to know that we're getting married, but not because of the contract. Except for love.”
