Andra and Azimah (Contract 2 Marriage)

14

Azimah and Ronald arrive at a pretty fancy restaurant. Ronald accidentally brought him here because he wanted to have a memorable dinner with the Azimah. At first the Azimah refused, but because Ronald continued to urge him finally Azimah was willing to obey the wishes of the Azimah.

"You want to drain my wallet so you're bringing me here?" joked Azimah with a slightly sharp look.

"Haha ..., are you afraid of being poor, Azimah? Come on, you're the son of a president. Your father owns two big companies with branches all over the city! You won't be poor just by treating me here!" ronald said with a laugh.

"You're looking too much at me, Ronald. The rich man is my father, not me!" replied the Azimah who did not like someone to see her as the daughter of the Lu family. He prefers it when one sees himself as an Azimah without his father's frills.

"But that's the truth. Your father won't let you live a hard life in the least. Sorry, I didn't mean anything. Sometimes I get confused about your way of life. You'd rather live a simple life, eat and drink on the side of the road. Wearing simple things even if you have everything. That's why I was confused how to approach you. And I ended up pranking you just to get your attention. At least you will continue to remember me even with bad memories" explained Ronald Lirih.

"It's been, it's been, it's all been over. What matters is that you are not like that now." replied Azimah who did not want the conversation to go any further.

The food they ordered arrived. The two ate their dinner too. Sometimes they talk in the middle of their dinner. Recalling their past and ending with a wide laugh from both.

Without them noticing, Andra was watching them from a distance. He saw Azimah laughing with Ronald. Seeing that all his heart became uncomfortable. There was a burning ember inside his body. Andra tried not to be ignited by the embers even though he himself felt the heat from the embers. With a heavy heart he left Azimah and Ronald talking while enjoying their dinner.

Andra was driving her car fast. Wreaking out for a moment the unreasonable feeling in his heart. Many times he refused what was in his heart. He did not want to admit that he was interested in the Azimah. But every time he tried to deny his heart made it more and more unbecoming. Like tonight, he followed Azimah and Ronald even though he knew this was wrong. But to satisfy his curiosity, Andra still did it.

Drrr..

Andra's phone rang and the name Charlotte was plastered there.

"Tell me, Charlotte, what'd you call me?" asked Andra in an annoyed tone.

"Calm down, Baby. I just called you after a long time. Is this how you talk to your best friend ?" ask Charlotte who does not know what her mistake is to make Andra do not like the call from her.

"Sorry, I'm driving and a little tired. What's up?" andra lowered her tone.

"The project we're working on will be reviewed tomorrow. Are you going to review it yourself?" ask Charlotte.

"Yes, Azimah and I will review it tomorrow!" answer Andra as he is.

"Pure? Who's she?" charlotte asked confusedly.

"Ah, I forgot, you weren't at the meeting this afternoon. He's Andreas Lu's son who will represent Lu's company tomorrow. All right, let's talk later, I'm driving" Andra disconnected.

Andra again raised the speedo meter of his vehicle, trying to eliminate Azimah from his shadows tonight.

Arriving home, Andra immediately cleaned up. Immersed himself for a long time in the bathtub. Look at the bathroom ceiling while keeping your eyes closed.

"I could not have liked Azimah, she was the son of Selma and Iyas. What would I say to them if this happened. I'd better get rid of all this quickly otherwise it'll all be messed up" said Andra, who stood up to flush herself with clean water.

The amulet was delivered by Ronald right in front of his house. He even smiled when he entered the house. Little humming until not realizing that Andreas and Selma were staring at him.

Azimah slightly flinched and turned towards Andreas and Selma who were sitting in the living room affectionately.

"You're right, it looks like someone's gonna beat us in the future!" support Selma.

Azimah stepped closer to his mother and father, he just breathed softly in front of the two.

"Are you guys deliberately waiting for me to tease me?" asked Azimah while resuscitating herself on the sofa.

Andreas and Selma looked at each other and smiled.

"It's a step, it's only natural that I want to see your face after dating. Tell me, is the meal fun?" ask Selma curiously.

"Dad, Dad turned out big mouth" muttered Azimah to Andreas.

"Dad only said what Dad should have said when your mother asked about your whereabouts." Andreas replied casually.

"Just think about it all you want, I'm tired and I want to take a shower and rest" Azimah explained, avoiding her parents.

Andreas and Selma just smiled looking at him. They let the Azimah go to rest..

The Azimah immediately cleansed herself. I think he's very tired today. The Azimah quickly cleansed herself so she could lay herself on the bed.

Azimah looked at her phone for a moment before she fell asleep. Scattered in cyberspace to provoke his drowsiness so that he can sleep quickly. But something made his finger stop sliding the screen of his phone. Andra's status suddenly appeared on him.

"When you're there I can't reach you with my hand. However, your shadow that is present in delusion can always be touched by my memory... For you Ms. A." Andra wrote in her status.

Azimah momentarily thought with the initials that Andra wrote in his status.

"Fuck A?? Is that me?" guess Azimah at a glance and then smile thinly.

"How can I say that. Uncle Andra can't remember me. That was Aunt Adelina. Yes, Adelina is not Azimah" said Azimah Iirih and closed the screen of his phone.

Azimah tried to close her eyes even though it was difficult. Somehow he saw Andra's unusual expression when he introduced Ronald to him. Although Andra tends to be cold but Andra is never that my face in front of someone. Especially when he was saying goodbye, Andra seemed reluctant to turn to him and focus more on his phone. Remembering that made Azimah again reach for her phone and write something on her status.

"There is a tinge of a lonely wound in the recesses of the heart, when the memory of yourself present is disturbing. I've been trying to step away from you, forgetting the clarity of your eyes. Unfortunately, I could never." Azimah wrote in her status.

It did not feel like a clear circle fell on the corner of his eye. Azimah rubbed it slowly. He smiled when he saw the tears on his fingertips.

"I'm tired of expecting you. I also want to be happy like you are happy just by remembering your memories." said Azimah softly and then forced her eyes to not always remember the shadow of Andra.

Seriate...
