Artificial Wedding

[3] The Arrival of Rich Traders

...[ * * * ]...

The news of birds that had made mothers busy preparing their daughters, was not the news of birds. Because the arrival of a luxury car, of course, is the answer to the truth of the news. And now the mothers were increasingly made excited just because of the arrival of 2 luxury cars to their village.

Just look at the preparations being made by Werna who was busy preparing her daughter to look perfect in front of the merchant family. Even since then, Werna and Rinka were busy nagging rather than preparing themselves. And just look, Asih is the sap of the excitement of his mother and stepbrother.

"Quickly you take Rinka's shoes in her room" Werna told Asih who had just come from Rinka's room. In his heart, Asih tried to be patient over his mother's attitude.

He just didn't think, why didn't his mother tell him to take this and that. So she didn't have to go back and forth to her mother's room or her brother's, just to pick up the stuff that both of them needed.

After taking what was ordered by Werna earlier, Asih now tried to sit on the chair. Just as she was sitting down, her brother had already returned to her for the umpteenth time. "Ambilin tasku in my room dong.".

I want to argue with what her sister told me. But Asih did not want to look for a storm with his brother. Could - could he not get a ration to eat today. After taking her brother's bag, Asih then handed it to Rinka.

"You ready, Ka?" The question was answered by Rinka. "Already, Ma. We just leave. Cepetan, Ma we'll go first with the others." Rinka walks first, leaving her mother and Asih of course.

Just now Asih will come out, but his hand was first held by Werna. "Where are you going?" Asih immediately replied, "I want to come with Rinka's mother." Werna's eyes glared at the words.

"Who would want to convince you? You don't have to go anywhere. Take care of the house and don't dare - dare to get out of the house until me and Rinka get home." With a heavy heart, he nodded his head.

Werna smiled cynically towards Asih. "If you violate what I tell you to. Then be ready - ready you don't get rations for dinner tonight." After giving such a threat, Werna also passed from the face of Asih.

Asih was actually no problem if not invited to his house, to see the rich merchant. After all, he better be at home, better and definitely will not be urged - the urge is just to see people who are said to want to find the ghost of this village.

On the other hand, the arrival of the two luxury cars was so attractive to people. In fact, it is not uncommon to sound amazed from the residents who have never even seen a car like that. And they believe the price of this car must be more expensive than the selling price of rice fields or their homes.

Pak lurah's house is actually an official house, of course, has a fairly large yard. Even some time ago it was used for his daughter's wedding. And now the courtyard area has been filled by residents who are curious about the appearance of the rich merchant.

The atmosphere around is also quite crowded, even more dominated by mothers who are deliberately present there for a mate for their daughter. Before as many as now, there were some mothers who accidentally saw the appearance of the wealthy merchants.

It was obvious that they were agape at the look of the five people. More precisely to 2 people who look to wear luxurious clothes and of course expensive. And the other 3 were the subordinates of the two people earlier. Judging from his third outfit, maybe the brand is the driver or bodyguard of the two people earlier.

Pak Lurah deliberately prepared a luxurious dish for his guests. Actually, he did not know who the two rich merchants were. But the rumor he heard, if both of them were really rich. It even has a big company in town.

And judging from the look and the vehicles they use, of course, it has shown the social status possessed by these guests. Things like this will not be in vain lurah - squandered. Because previously he had been told about the commission he would get, if the merchant so take the prospective daughter-in-law of his village.

"Please enjoy the food. Hopefully you both can enjoy this meal." said Mr. Lurah while allowing his guest to eat. Considering that it is currently entering lunch hour.

In addition, to attract the interest of both guests in order to provide something more than what they have promised. After finishing eating, a pak lurah named Edi was also accompanying his guests to the hall room that was specially made next to his house.

"So the point of your arrival here is to find the girl who will be married to your child?" The two guests nodded.

"Yes, more or less like that. But there are some things we ask as a condition, before we choose which girl is suitable for us to take." Edi sir's eyebrows lifted. "Condition?" repeat with a confused tone.

The two nodded while throwing smiles at each other. "What are the conditions?" One of the two is now looking at Mr. Edi with a straight view.

"Not so hard. We only ask that the girl we will choose must break up with her family who are here" said the person named Bima with a deep smile.

Kernyitan was changed to surprise Edi sir. He did not expect the conditions put forward by these two guests. Wouldn't that even seem like buying and selling. Knowing the look of surprise from the face of Mr. Edi makes Bima immediately let out his voice.

"The two of us did not want to break the family relationship with the girl's parents. Except after we get married, we'll take the girl out of the country."

The explanation just said by Bima even made Mr. Edi look more and more in disbelief at him. "So you mean, the girl from this village will be taken out of the country? What's it taking you there for?"

Bima looked at Edi who seemed to be starting to suspect him. Seen from the look of his face which is now looking at him full of search. Buru - hunt him explain the meaning of the word - he said it. "Look, Mr. Edi. Our son lives abroad. So automatically, the girl will go wherever our son lives."

"Well, you know for yourself that here is not fully accessible internet network. It would be very difficult for the girl's family to contact their child. And we also can't be sure whether our son will return home or not."

The bolt that was previously filled by a sense of curiosity, began to gradually return to normal. And as Mr. Edi began to believe the words of Bima just now. "Ooh, so it looks. If that's the case, let me ask the parents of the girls here about it."

Bima and his wife who was mermana Mitha looked at each other. Silence - silence they began to review a sweet smile that has its own meaning for both.

"So when do you and Mom want to see the girls here?" That remark made Mitha immediately answer him.

"Later tonight. But before that, can you make an announcement for the residents to go home. We both need privacy and quiet while we're here."

Mr. Edi could only smile clumsily at what Mitha said. He realized that the attitude of the people was too enthusiastic about the arrival of Pak Bima and his wife. No wonder, who would miss the golden opportunity to be messy with the rich.

The answer must not exist. Realistically, everyone needs money. There is no way they waste the opportunity to become rich instantly.
