Asa (Paying Wife Only)

(Season 2) chapter 4

Dea has now arrived in Singapore. He immediately met Moza, he could not wait to hug his best friend.

"Za, I miss you so much" Dea said. He hugged Moza with his arms. For six months they had not met. And it makes both of them miss the silly things they often do.

"Congratulations Za, I'm so happy because I'm finally going to be aunty."

"Yes, I'm so grateful, too, De. Do you know how happy I am? I've been looking forward to this pregnancy since the beginning of marriage." Moza was so sparkling to say it.

"May you always be happy, Za" Dea said sincerely.

"Thank you, Dea. Then when are you getting married? I heard that tonight Papa will introduce you to someone from his friend's son. Looks like someone will catch up with me to get married" teased Moza.

Dea frowned, she did not know about this. He did not want to get married, even though he was fit to get married, but Dea had not yet established his heart. Especially since the incident a few years ago.

"What's? But I don't want to get married yet, Za. I still want to enjoy my life."

"Why? How long are you going to be single, Dea? I used to think you'd marry Richie. I don't know what happened to you two. Suddenly Richie decides to return to his home country, while you decide to settle in Indonesia. Yes, although I'm happy that you're always with me, but I'm still curious. What's really going on between you and Richie?" moza asked full of questions.

"Nothing, what do you think is going on?" dea answered, turning her face away. "Why do we have to discuss him anyway, Za?" Dea looked so moody.

"OK-okay, Richie is engaged" Moza said. Just contact to make Dea immediately choked. Suddenly his chest felt so tight, I don't know what he was feeling right now.

"Za, I'm going to the room. I want to take a break" said Dea.

"Alright, rest. And don't forget to prepare yourself, tomorrow you will definitely meet with the prospective husband." said Moza chuckled.

"What the hell is Za," Dea sighed. Then get out of Moza's room.

Now all the guests congratulate Moza and Rey on the presence of their baby.

"Mr George..," Papa Arya shook Mr. George's hand. They talk to each other. "So this is your son, he's very handsome, sir." praised Papa Arya.

"Thank you for the compliment, uncle." said Arsen, smiling warmly.

"Oh yes, Mr. Arya. Where's your second daughter?" ask Mr. George. His eyes were all over the people there.

"Some time he'll be down. My daughter is a little shy."

Then Mama Zara came and brought Dea to join Papa Arya. Arsen was shocked when he saw Dea.

'Isn't that Miss Dea? Is she Lord Arya's second daughter?' inner Arsen.

Dea was shocked to see Arsen there, talking to Mr. Arya.

"Well, Mr. George. Thank you for coming. This is our second daughter, Dea." said Mama introduced Dea.

"So this Miss Dea is Uncle and Aunt's second daughter?" Arsen smiled looking at Dea.

"So you know each other?" The old men were surprised. Arsen nodded. He was still smiling looking at Dea.

Dea returned Arsen's smile. Arsen smiled so warmly. But somehow that smile reminded her of Richie. The man always smiled warmly when he disturbed him.

Dea shook her head. Why are you thinking about Richie? He immediately dismissed his thoughts.

"Of course Uncle, we've just established a cooperative relationship."

"It's really surprising. Then you can have a chat, because we also want to talk about work" said Mr. George. It was intentional to bring them closer.

"Alright, then let's Miss Dea." take Arsen. Dea immediately stepped up to follow Arsen. They take a walk in the garden next to the house.

"I didn't think we'd see each other again here, Miss."

"Call Me, Arsen. We're not within the scope of the office at the moment, Miss." said Arsen.

"Alright, then you can also call me with Dea alone, Arsen," Dea replied. They started to walk while talking lightly.

Two days passed.

Dea is still in Singapore. He decided to take a vacation for a while from his job. He accompanied Moza who was also still at Mama and Papa's house.

"How's your relationship with Arsen?" ask Moza. Instantly made Dea become excited. Can everyone in this house not ask about the man close to her?

"Can't you talk about this again, Za?" dea rolled her eyeballs.

"Come on Dea, when are you getting married? You are old enough to get married. When are you gonna catch up with me?"

"I don't want to get married, Za. I want to be a career woman." replied Dea.

"But getting married is delicious, Dea."

"That's when we marry our soul mate. What if we marry a man who is not really our soul mate. It would be a disaster."

"Tell me. What's the reason you're not married?" ask Moza. Dea was silent. "Does this have anything to do with Richie?" moza asked full of questions.

"Why do you associate all that with him? It sucks."Dea immediately moved up and left Moza's room. Dea came out with a mouth that was constantly muttering. And that further adds to Moza's curiosity that's been going on between Dea and Richie all along.

"Are you afraid of marrying the wrong guy, Dea?" Moza's question made Dea stop her steps.

"Yes, it's possible." she replied in a voice so lifeless

"But Papa said, Arsen was a good man and also well established and handsome. You will definitely be a match with him," said Moza. He made Dea roll her eyes back.

Dea exhaled, tired of explaining her wish to Moza. "But I have no feelings for Arsen, Za." Dea immediately came out by closing the door a little hard.

"Why is that him?"

***

Dea got off Moza's room. He was so upset that Moza kept talking about his soul mate, let alone asking Arsen. Dea knew Arsen had a lot of lovers. He himself still did not expect it.

"Dea, son." call Papa Arya.

"Eh, yes Pa." he said. Dea looked at someone who was really familiar to her. There was a glimmer of yearning on someone who seemed to be standing behind Papa Arya. His body is in place.

Someone seemed to be smiling at him. Staring at the girl who had been silencing her heart all this time.

"Can you accompany Richie's son to meet Moza? She came all the way just to congratulate me because Moza is about to have a baby" said Papa Arya. And that really makes Dea look like a dead flea. Why did he have to drive Richie. Inevitably Dea agreed to it, she did not want to refute Papa Arya's remarks.

A smile on Richie's lips. The girl he likes is getting more beautiful after almost a year of not meeting. He felt so sorry for accepting the match that his family had arranged for him. He had to marry a girl he didn't love.

Dea gasps when she sees Richie's ring finger curling up a ring she believes is her engagement ring. Suddenly his chest felt so tight.

"All right, Pa." Dea forced her smile when in front of Papa Arya. But after Papa Arya left from there and left only the two of them, Dea put on her face.

"Please wait in the living room, I'll call Moza" Dea said, and it passed.

"De..," Richie's voice came to a halt as he called out to Dea. Because the owner had disappeared from before him.

"Do you know the truth why I came all the way here, Dea. My biggest reason is because I'm sure that I'll meet you here" Richie murmured softly.
