A Wife's Escape

Chapters 13. Feeling Played

BRAKK!

Nisa slammed the door of her house with emotion.

"Reihan! Fucking boy! Dare to fool me! You said there was a fire, but in fact the house is fine!!" scream as loud as possible.

"Finally the future son-in-law has come home" said someone with a smile. The man looked aged, he sat quietly on the living room sofa holding a uniquely patterned wooden stick.

"You who?" nisa asked with a confused face.

Who the hell is this narcissistic old man? What did he say? What daughter-in-law is that ... Wait up! I didn't go wrong in the house, did I?

Nisa turned to the left.

"Sir Nisa's home yet?" asked Dimas who suddenly appeared.

"Eh!? Yeah, I just got home. Where is Reihan? I'll make a calculation with him!"

So I'm not wrong to enter the house, the proof is Dimas here. Then the one who spoke to me earlier was a crazy guest!

"You don't have to find your sister anymore, you just sit here! Dimas, hurry up and get mom and Reihan here! Tell them Nisa's home!" pinta Gilang on Dimas.

"Good, Dad."

Dimas returned with his mother and Reihan. The three of them joined and gathered in the living room. But the atmosphere in the room became awkward, not a single one of them spoke.

Nisa who was sitting next to her father suddenly whispered, "Dad, who is this old man?"

"Later you'll know too. You just shut up!"

"Hmmm!" Nisa looked away.

What the hell is there to talk about? Dad also refused to answer, while the old man from earlier smiled at me unclear. Horrifically.

TONG TING!

The doorbell rang, everyone was looking at each other.

"Let me open the door" said Nisa's mother, who soon left the living room.

Soon the woman returns, but she comes along with a man who is no stranger to Nisa. The neat-looking man immediately placed himself beside the old man.

"All right, now everyone's complete. So we can start the conversation!" said the old man.

"...." - ".Nisa was silent from shock, she gaped as she looked at the newly arrived man.

Loh!? Mr CEO! What's he here for? Maybe he wants to collect a debt, but I don't have any money. Besides I owe it also just yesterday, it is impossible if you want to be charged now? If yes, then I am finished! Then maybe this old man is his lawyer.

The old man took a deep breath and said, "I will introduce myself first. My name is Muchtar Kartawijaya, and the one beside me is my eldest son named Keyran Kartawijaya."

"What-what?!" nisa said slowly.

They are father and son! I don't think, it's hard to believe that the CEO was a crook. But I have nothing to fear, all my family are here too. If you want to shake it, it will win me!

"My need is here to talk about the agreement five years ago. Mr. Gilang Sutadharma should have known, right?" ask Mr. Muchtar.

"Yes, I already know," replied Gilang.

"Then, what decision did you choose?"

"On that .. my daughter will decide," Gilang said while looking at her daughter.

"Who? Why me? But isn't the debt paid off?" nisa asked with a confused look.

"It seems Miss Nisa forgot, the agreement was on behalf of the family. So ... please conclude for yourself," said Mr. Muchtar with a faint smile.

"...." - ".Nisa is at a loss for words.

Bangs*t! Goddamnit! It turned out that all this time I did was in vain, this was all because I was careless not to ask who my father owed and which family he came from. Dad owes his father, while I owe him to his son to pay off the father's debt to his father. It's the same as me giving myself up. Stupid, stupid, stupid! Why can I make this fatal mistake?

"Miss, what are your options?" asked Mr. Muchtar impatiently.

"T0L0!!" nisa shouted spontaneously.

"...."

Instantly everyone was startled and became silent after hearing Nisa's reply. They were all just staring at Nisa with confused faces. They could not figure out the answer Nisa had just said.

"Give me time to think!" shouted Nisa who then rushed away leaving the living room.

"Please forgive my daughter's words, it looks like she's still in shock" Gilang said with an awkward smile.

Nisa, that brat hasn't changed. Maybe he said something like that in the current situation. To make me his father bear shame.

"No problem, I can understand" replied Mr. Muchtar.

It didn't feel like time was going so fast, they had all been waiting for Nisa for over an hour. The worry began to be felt by Nisa's father and mother, they were worried that Nisa would run away from home.

"Rei, quickly find your brother and bring him here!" the door with a forced expression.

"Yes dad!" reply Reihan who immediately left the living room.

Not long after Reihan returned, but he returned only alone.

"Reihan, where's your brother?"

"She's sitting in the back garden!"

"Then why didn't you bring her here?"

As I got closer I didn't dare, I could feel that Sister Nisa was very angry. And I felt .. his long-lost killing aura also reappeared. It was as if the blood of the gangsters within his body had already boiled.

"Dimas, you go!"

"I'm scared too, I'll just pick it up myself. At the very least if the father who was there might be a big brother would withstand a little blow. It was my own father who taught Nisa how to fight!" answer Dimas.

"I'm the only one there!" Sahut Keyran's.

"Eh?" Instantly all the members of the Nisa family stared at Keyran with a look of disbelief.

"Well if you're willing, Reihan will show you the way."

"Good, Dad."

Lothawat! If this fellow were to meet brother now, perhaps brother would beat him to death. Hopefully, brother can hold back his emotions, I don't want to get a murder!

Moments later Keyran and Reihan arrive at the back garden. Reihan was so frightened that he wanted to rush to leave Keyran alone.

"It's over, I'm leaving first!" said Reihan who immediately ran as fast as possible.

"...." - ".Keyran.

Is this girl that scary? To the point of making his own sister act like that. He just sat on the bench without making a sound.

After Reihan left, Keyran just stood up and stared at Nisa for a while. He realized that Nisa was now enveloped by a gloomy aura. Soon she walked over and sat down on the bench with Nisa.

"How are you feeling?" ask Keyran.

"I feel played with," Nisa replied without turning her head.

"Who by?"

"Everyone. First dad, the dean of the college, Valen, the old man that includes .. you!" nisa said as she glared towards the keyran.

"Not just you, I also feel played with." Keyran cold expression.

"God! Do you dare to swear? If you lie, your mother will be gone!"

"My mom has been gone for a long time."

"...." - ".Instantly Nisa fell silent, the atmosphere there also instantly turned awkward.

"My father just explained this to me this afternoon. So when you were in debt to me yesterday, I didn't know this at all. That's why today I didn't give you a job or call you into my room. But it also depends on your choice whether you want to accept this matchmaking or not."

"Why does it depend on me? Do you mind if I marry you?" nisa asked with a surprised expression.

"No" Keyran replied without hesitation.

"Why? Don't you be interested in me! Oh, my God .. am I special in your eyes?" nisa asked as if she could not believe it.

"Don't conclude! How could I be interested in you! I accepted all this because I was tired. My father always forced me to get married, I've brought women to be introduced to my father many times. But they were all rejected because my father said they were all unsuitable to be Kartawijaya's mistress."

"Then, am I a good fit? You look at me all right! I'm just a 19-year-old barbarian girl, my way of speaking is also rude. Do you think I'm fit to be a mistress?"

"No, I don't think it fits either. But my father thinks you're a good fit, so I'll obey my father's orders."

"Try listening to me! You and I both think that if we don't match, why don't you try to defy your father's orders just once?"

"You're telling me to disobey my own father?"

"It's not so! I mean that marriage is not a playful thing, whereas between us there is absolutely no liking. I'm telling you, you better get married to someone you like!"

"There's no woman I like" Keyran replied spontaneously.

"Do you live as a lonely man? At least marry someone who likes you, miss artist ...."

"I tried to take Amanda, too, but it was rejected by my father."

"What kind of person is your father? Even the top artists he rejected. How oldyou? Why did your father insist on you getting married so quickly?"

"My life is 27 years."

"Oh."

Oh my goodness .. when in fact he counted as young, but when I owed him I made up that what I was going to marry was an old man. Fortunately now he was not angry, but in hindsight that 8-year gap was also included a lot, so it would not be wrong if I called him an old man?

"Ehem, at 27 years old it is appropriate to get married, but why is it forced? Are you a widower? How many kids?"

"Hey! Watch your talk! I've never been married, let alone had children!" yelled Keyran who was offended.

"I'm sorry to be offended, I'm just curious. Besides I'm also confused, of all the women who like you why should I not be interested in you at all?"

"I don't know either. What's clear is that you need to come back with me now! They've all been waiting a long time for the decision you're about to make!"

"Alright," replied Nisa resignedly.

Nisa and Keyran arrive in the living room. Nisa sat down without saying anything. Everyone was already impatient to know the decision Nisa was going to take.

"You've been given time to think. So what's your choice?" ask Mr. Muchtar.

"...." - ".Nisa mute.

If I accept then I will be considered a savior for my family, but if I refuse then I will be considered a burden. And on the other hand I love Ricky. God ... I hope the choice I will make is not wrong.

"Nisa, the Great Lord of Kartawijaya is asking you!" said father while nudging Nisa's hand.

"I-I chose ..."
