A Contract of Love of the President
*Episode 02*
The busyness in the capital never stops. Even though the clock was at midnight, there was no sign that the city would fall asleep.
Similarly, in the HM.Thamrin area, an elite area of the region that became the center of the lives of conglomerates and celebrities, one of which was Arya Wijaya, the Director of a famous business group founded by the Wijaya family. The man was standing on the balcony of his room on the 23rd floor of the building.
From the strategic location of his apartment, he could observe thousands of lights in the distance that glittered beautifully. But that's not what he's interested in.
Despite knowing, the man didn't even pay attention to her. He was busy with his own thoughts, thoughts about his crazy idea that suddenly flashed to see his new secretary who was confused and frustrated looking for a loan of money, and the reaction of the girl when she heard his offer.
*Raisya Lestari's.*
Name's Raisya.
The first and foremost candidate Arya chose to be her contract wife.
To be honest, the idea just came to light when he saw the girl coming into his room asking for a very large loan of money, and actually at that time he was happy and he just wanted to give the girl a bonus because indirectly he had given her an idea to solve her marital problems. But of course he didn't. His business analysis skills worked well at the time. And this is the observation of an Arya Wijaya about an *Raisya Lestari* :
#Raisya Excess:
*Beauty
*Education
*Smart
*Savvy
*Have an attractive appearance
*Having an ideal body posture
*ethics
#Raisya's Weakness:
*Easy to nervous
*Too indulge feelings
*So much money is needed for his sister's treatment
*Nobody can provide that kind of loan or money other than Arya.
*comes from a family with a social status not the same as her.
*Raisya has a lover.
Arya frowned in light of her short analysis. If calculated mathematically, Raisya has many advantages, as well as the chances that Raisya has of taking advantage of it are huge, because it is not just an opportunity, it is not just an opportunity, but the underlying problem that would be the main driver of Raisya accepted this offer. While the weakness of Raisya.
Arya nodded., I can handle it, inner Arya. As for the latter, circumstances could threaten him. First, his family did not condone his relationship with Raisya because his family came from an unequal social status with him.
To be honest, Arya does not want to cover up the origin of the Raisya family, because she does not want to confuse the series of lies that she must plan later.
So, his job is now to convince his family to accept Raisya.
Arya smile. He knew his family loved him very much and always followed his wishes.
After all, her mother seemed happy and enthusiastic when she said she was getting married, even before she knew who she was.
Hmmm..if only they would later disagree, he could say if he would not marry if not with Raisya, and his parents would certainly not force.
But hopefully his family doesn't mind Raisya's social status.
After all, since long ago his parents never minded the social status of close friends Arya.
In addition, Raisya also has many advantages that he can use so that his parents can bless them. Well, and the second one, what if Raisya has a lover ?.
Lover. Of course it's not a problem for him. It was Raisya's personal matter, and in the draft agreement he gave it was written not to interfere in each other's personal affairs. After all he only used Raisya for a year.. What was a threat to him was if only the man would not allow the girl to accept this offer. Why was that information missed?
Arya grabs her phone and calls Leo, her personal assistant and confidant or her right hand.
Foetish...
On the first ring Leo answered his call.
“Leo, immediately find out about Raisya status, about her partner..”.
“Ya, tonight!”
Arya turned off her phone and put it back in her pants pocket.
For a moment he was stunned. Suddenly a bit of thought came to his mind.
Why should Raisya be his contract wife? Wouldn't he be able to appoint any woman he wanted, and the woman would willingly surrender herself?
...****************...
“Honey, you're not home?” asked the mother so realized it was late at night to Raisya who was in front of her, sitting on Nadia's bed. She sits on the side of Nadia's bed.
“No bu... I want to be here, accompany mom looking after Nadia..”.
“But tomorrow you have to work son. You better go home and rest,?” Raisya. His mother breathed.
“Why you? You look different today..” Raisya is back in his head.
“What happened? Tell mommy?” Raisya lowered her head, thinking about whether she should tell her mother or not.
“Sya, please do not make mother worry..” Raisya raised her face. His gaze found his mother's face staring at him worriedly, and a gesture that said not to refute him. Raisya sighed. He could never argue and lie to his mother.
Raisya looked at Nadia's face, checking if her sister was really asleep or not.
“He's asleep, believe me! Or do you want us to talk outside?” Raisya frowned. If they speak here, he is afraid that the bed dwellers beside him, behind the curtains, hear their conversation. However, if they spoke outside, she was afraid that her sister would suddenly need them.
“How?”
“Come here, mom..”
“You sure?” Raisya.
“We can talk in the front corridor. Mom will leave Nadia to Bu Tutik, the patient's family next to us. We can open the curtain so that Tutik ma'am can keep an eye on Nadia as well,” Raisya nodded in approval to her mother's idea.
Good Lord! Even he already did not have the ability to think of such small things.
The mother got up and spoke briefly to Tutik's mother who was looking after her son who suffered from DB pain.
Raisya saluted Tutik's mother. The middle-aged woman returned Raisya's greeting and briefly praised Raisya's beauty.
Raisya thanked him and followed his mother out of the room. They then sat in long steel chairs that were connected to each other in the corridor.
“Now, tell me what happened!”
And Raisya also told all things related to the offer of its director, Arya Wijaya, from beginning to end, without exception.
“How dare that man!” as if the mother was angry.
“bu....” please Raisya weakly, as if his energy has run out today, with many unexpected events. Starting from the interrogation of the problem of applying for a loan of money by his boss, the offer of a contract marriage, until the draft agreement is biased. Plus he had to tell his mother all that.
“No Yes! How could he play with my beloved daughter by offering her a contract marriage like this, ?” his mother said, filled with emotion.
“Not ma... This is not what I thought. He intends well to help us.”
“Help? By taking advantage of our predicament to force you to be his contract wife? Is that what the name helps, ?” beat the mother in a higher tone. Raisya cursed himself for telling his mother everything. You're stupid Raisya! His inner.
“bu.. it is only a form of return because he has helped us. After all it's only a year.ya a year.”
“No Yes! He not only lied to his family, but also abused the sacred bonds of marriage! Nah! mom won't let you do it! Never will be!”
“But ma'am... With what can we get that kind of money in this short time? She's our only hope ma'am.”
“bu..”
“No Yes! Once mom says no, still no!” the mother got up and left Raisya.
Raisya sighed. Without her being able to bear it, tears suddenly flowed down her beautiful cheeks.
...****************...
“All right, so many meetings today. Please send each division a report at maximum three o'clock this afternoon! Thank you!” Arya closed the internal meeting that day. At a glance, he glanced at Raisya. The woman is cleaning up her files. Arya pursed her lips. Until now the woman had not discussed her offer yesterday. Did he not accept my offer? it can't be ! He desperately needed that money, and no one could give him that kind of money! Inner Aryan
“pak, please!” Leo invites Arya to walk out ahead of him, with a formal attitude. Arya pulled the end of her suit, tidied up in her signature authoritative style, then walked past Raisya. Raisya lowered her head as Arya walked past her, then followed her boss walking down the corridor to their room, on the top floor of the building.
They stopped in front of the elevator. Leo pressed the elevator button. As soon as the door opened, Arya came in, followed by Leo and Raisya. Leo stood on the right side of Arya, while Raisya on the left.
Drrr…
Raisya reached into her blazer pocket and pulled out her phone.
“iya bu...” Raisya replied in a soft voice.
“What? How is he now?” now the tone of worry and panic was evident from his tone.
“Ya Tuhaaan... I will be... get there..” Raisya says the last sentence, will be there soon, slowly and doubtfully, glancing at his boss.. Arya frowned at Raisya's talk
“ya..bu”.
Raisya turned off her phone.
“pak...” call Raisya with vibrating voice.
“Can I... My sister is..”.
“Leo, take her to the hospital. Make sure he gets there as soon as possible and survives..."
”well sir.." replied Leo, looking down a little.
The elevator doors opened and Arya immediately stepped away, leaving Raisya and Leo behind. Raisya was still glued to his place, not understanding Arya's attitude.
“Please !” Raisya.
"yes!”
...****************...
“bu...” call Raisya to her mother who is sitting in front of a room, which Raisya does not know his name, where doctors and nurses provide intensive care to Nadia who suddenly collapses again.
“Sya..” murmured his mother. They immediately slammed into each other. Raisya hugged her mother. The mother's body shook with tears.
“What's up, ma'am? How's Nadia doing?” Mother shakes.
“Relax mom.... Relax..!” Raisya tries to calm her mother, even though she is panicking herself.
“bu...” Raisya leads his mother to sit back.
“Please mom...” Raisya stroked her mother's back. Slowly, her mother's cries died down.
“Your sister....” said the mother, faltered.
“Iya?” Raisya waited, trying to be patient.
“Your sister, Raisya.mom could not bear to see her tormented like this.” Her mother's tears flowed back.
“Your sister.. said the doctor, she should be operated on immediately. We must have the money, Raisya.. and we must find a suitable donor..” Raisya fell silent. The money? Kidney donation? Oh my…
“Sya... We have to get it! We have to get it!” the mother shook Raisya's body. Now all he had in mind was Nadia.Remember clearly in the eyes of every scream of pain Nadia, and every scream of pain was also scratching the wound in her heart. Which mother can stand to see her child in pain? In fact, if he could, he wanted to replace that position with himself…
“Raisya... we must get it.. we must get it...” sobs her mother increasingly bitter. His body slumped into Raisya's arms.
“Iya bu... We will get it... I will get it... We will get the money..” Raisya replied. But his voice sounded hollow, there was no conviction at all…
Raisya noticed her brother lying weakly on the sickbed and her mother sitting beside Nadia's bed. Her mother's head rested on her two arms folded in Nadia's bed, and one hand held Nadia's hand. Without Raisya being able to resist, tears flowed down the river on her cheeks. His heart was injured to see the condition of his sister who was getting sadder, as well as the condition of his mother who was very sad due to the burden he had borne so far.
I have to do something…
I have to accept it…
There is no other way…
Just by accepting the offer…
Yep. That was the only way he could help his sister, and his mother. He is the firstborn, the backbone of the family, and Raisya is aware of his role. She is responsible for her family's life, and the only way she has right now is to accept Arya Wijaya's offer to be her contract wife.
I'm sorry, mother…
This is the only way to save Nadia.
If you hate me, then,
didn't even acknowledge me as your son for accepting this offer,
I will, I will accept it,
As long as Nadia survives!
If you're gonna kick me out for breaking your ban, then,
At the very least, there was Nadia who would take care of you…
Raisya looked at the large clock above the entrance of the room. It's still half-eight in the evening, and it's Friday. According to the information he got, usually on Friday his boss went home more nights, about until nine o'clock in the evening to finish the job so as not to interfere with his weekend. Raisya wiped away the tears, grabbed her bag and left without saying goodbye to her mother.
...****************...
“Log in!” arya said rather loudly to be heard by the person who knocked on the door, without shifting her focus from the laptop.
“ma..af...pak..” Arya turned to the origin of the vibrating voice that called out to her. His forehead wrinkled at the figure of a woman who usually looks neat and graceful, now appeared very chaotic in front of him.
“Raisya, come in!” said Arya, stick with her cold style of speech. Raisya walks over and stops in front of Arya's desk. Because of his current position, Arya can see Raisya clearly.
He did not expect the woman who usually always looks attractive, beautiful, and neat now changed completely. His hair was messy, the remains of tears were clearly visible on his face which was no less chaotic.
His nose was red, his eyes were swollen, his breathing was also choked because of his sobs.
Arya's gaze now went down, noticing her clothes.Yes, she only realized that Raisya was not wearing a blazer, only a short-sleeved shirt with cream, but the neck and one button on the top were not buttoned. Arya cleared her throat.
“What happened?” arya asked, calm and short.
“I... My Sister...” Raisya wipes away her suddenly flowing tears.
“Sit!” Arya who was shocked at the arrival of Raisya and too focused on her glassy appearance until she forgot to let Raisya sit down.
Raisya.
“I just want to say..” Raisya stops his sentence. Arya raised her eyebrows waiting for the continuation of Raisya's sentence.
“I want to say that I...” Raisya sentence back choked.
“...I accept your offer...”
