Bound Other Love

Episodes 10. Dropping options

Maghrib prayer time arrives, Anyelir perform worship then dress up. She wore the dress that Tina gave her and then slightly put on her makeup with natural makeup. Carnations that are basically beautiful are now more elegant with a dress wrapped in night and hijab she wears.

Tina and her friends were amazed at the appearance of Carnations tonight.

'"Perfect, you are so beautiful like a princess. Village girl transformed like the king's daughter".

Haahaaaha.

"Truly Nye, we're pangling you see." Praise Diah.

Sri, Rita and Ani also gave a thumbs up.

"You can do it, all thanks to Tina who has turned me into this."

Mother Ida came to them, "Well, my mother's daughter is very beautiful..want to party, son Anye?"

"No ma'am, just having dinner with the boss to make amends."

" Oh, that's you want someone to pick you up, said your boss driver. Mom told him to wait on the porch."

" Yes, ma'am, Anye said yes ma'am, Tina. Let's friends all friends !!!"

"Be careful, Nye" cried all of them.

"May goodness always come to you Nye, Tina continued.

"Aami..... Thanks Tina".

Anye immediately approached the driver.

"Are you ready, Non? Mr. Satya had already headed straight to The Cloud Lounge. We must leave immediately so that Master does not wait for us too long."

"Alright sir, I'm ready too".

During the trip Anye just kept quiet, she tried to manage her feelings. Fear, raging into one in his heart. Actually what his boss would decide about the punishment for his mistake, that was the big question mark in his heart.

They had reached there, when Anye got out of the car it turned out Satya had also arrived. Satya is very handsome tonight, he is wearing a white shirt coated in a gray sweater with pants color also in line with his shirt. Carnation's heart trembled slightly looking at this handsome man in front of her.

Satya was also stunned when she saw Carnations coming out of the car, her heart said beautiful. He flinched when Carnations greeted him.

"Good night sir, sorry if I'm late."

"Hemmm, I've also just come."

"Sir..pak just go home yes, later Miss Carnations come home let me just deliver. Here's to buy food for the kids at home". Satya gave three hundred bills to Mr. Edi, his personal driver.

"Thank you Sir, I'm sorry Sir."

Satya nodded.

"Let's let Miss Carnations us in." Bring Satya.

Carnations follow Satya's steps towards the pre-ordered place. The restaurant is located on the 9th floor of Hotel Kosenda, this rooftop themed garden, unique as if we are not in Jakarta but at the top. In addition to the concept is simple and arguably quite minimalist, this place also has a different design from other rooftops.

Satya prefers the nuances of the open nature like this by serving Indonesian-style food that is soto betawi, Ijo chili chicken and vegetable lontong. He wants a more relaxed atmosphere for Carnations that are certainly not used to western style. Satya invited Carnation to sit down. Then the waiter approached them with a menu catalog.

"What do you want to eat and drink, Miss Carnations?" satya asked while proffering a menu catalogue to him.

After looking through the catalog, Anyepun immediately ordered his food and drinks

"I ordered orange juice and Soto betawi only Pak", replied Anyelir.

"Mas..soto betawi 1, chicken ijo 1, orange juice 2, mineral water 2 and bring us the pudding yes mas" Satya told the waitress.

"Okay sir,"

"There's no other addition, is there Miss Carnation? ask Satya back."

"No sir, that's enough".

"That's all our orders".

The waiter went from before them to prepare the order. Before the order arrived Satya tried to open the conversation. He wanted to get rid of the awkwardness between them.

"Miss Anye, beautiful views of Jakarta seen from here?"

"Yes sir" Anye replied.

"I deliberately chose an open place like this so that we are more relaxed. We are tired of working all day now we unwind. Oh yes Miss, how long have you lived here? "

"Why did you choose to leave your hometown and leave your parents behind?"

"Long story sir", For a moment Carnation sighed.

When Carnation was about to continue the story, the pilgrims arrived to deliver their orders.

"Please sir, Miss enjoyed the meal !"

"Thank you" answered both.

"Let's have our meal first, and then we'll continue our conversation."

Carnations just nodded in agreement.

The two ate the dish in silence, only the clanking of their spoons could be heard.

After they finished their meal, the waiter cleaned the table and left only orange juice and two bottles of mineral water left.

"Oh yes lady, can we continue the conversation earlier."

"Master..Call me Anyelir or Anye, it feels like the call of the lady is not appropriate for me."

"Well I'll call you Anye as long as you also call me Satya."

"That's impossible sir, where dare I call you just a name. Dad was my boss of course a disrespectful name call. What will the people who hear it say, sir."

"Look it. If in the office because I am your boss, may call me Father. But if it comes out you should call me by name only, Okay.deal. So now just call me Satya."

"All right sir... uh okay Satya".

"It sounds better than that."

"Try on with your story, Nye, I want to get to know you better."

"But Sat......".

"Write it. This is my command as your boss! so I can decide what punishment is appropriate for you to compensate for the crisis. Come on tell me. I want to hear it right now directly from you."

Anye tells about her life that requires her to leave the parents she loves the most, telling her about the hope of earning a lot of money by migrating to the city in order to solve all the problems immediately, the story of the loan shark who keeps urging them and will make her the fourth wife and tells about the city life that turns out not everything is like what she had imagined.

"I don't want to give up but I don't know what to do either, and now it's getting into more trouble about compensating for your car damage. I think life is unfair to me. I'm like the proverb has fallen down the stairs again. Do I have to give up Sat with the offer of Mr. Danu the loan shark who will make me as his fourth wife, so that everything is finished so that my parents can be free of debt and live a quiet life. Because the main purpose of my life right now is to make them happy."

"Are you sure, if you make that decision, your parents' lives can be quiet?"

Anye could only be silent and throw her breath violently while covering her face with both palms.

"Look, I have a solution. If you agree.you do not have to pay the loss for the damage to my car, your father's debt to the loan shark will be paid off and I will give you some money so that your father can buy the rice fields, he said, fields and livestock until they no longer need to work as farm laborers in the fields of others. And one more thing I'll finance your life, meet all your needs as long as you keep all our covenants."

Anye immediately raised her head, releasing both palms from her face, looking at Satya in bewilderment, wonder, and disbelief that her problem would be solved with just one agreeable word from her mouth.

"I'm serious Nye. Marry me, I'll solve all your problems soon."

"You mean...."

"Be my wife and give birth to a son/daughter for my family's successor with some terms that you will sign if you agree."

Anye was further confused by what Satya said. No wind no rain, no words of love because they just knew and have a different status, suddenly invited to marry. Anye felt surprised like she was struck by lightning in a hole.

"You'll either choose Nye to marry Mr. Danu the loan shark or marry me."

"How can we marry Sat, we've just met, just now close and there's no love between us anyways I hear you have a wife too".

With heavy weight Satya answered and told the heavy burden that he had been hiding from everyone, especially against his subordinates other than Radit who he had considered as brothers.

"Yes, I have a wife and I love her very much. I will not be able to love another woman besides her. He's my life but the happiness of my family, especially my grandfather, is also my responsibility. I asked you to marry me in order to give birth to a descendant for my family's successor. I was an only child while my wife couldn't get pregnant anymore since the doctor told her there were cancer cells in her womb and had caused our future child to die before she could see the world. The chemotrapy process has made her unable to get pregnant anymore."

Hearing Satya's words, Anye's heart ached. If she agrees to marry Satya she will only become a pedigree without getting Satya's love as her husband because Satya's love is only for her first wife.

"Why did you choose me Sat to give birth to your son/daughter while the many women around you are certainly much better than me."

"Before this I have asked my best friend who is my personal assistant to investigate you, looking for info about your family's origin and background."

"So you've actually known in advance about the problems that have befallen my family".

"Yes, answered Satya. I decided to choose you because I believe you can be a good mother and maybe be able to give birth to good offspring for my family. I love grandfather very much, he wanted before death to be able to see and hold my son/daughter who is the successor of the Permana family. If you agree I will have my lawyer make points to the contents of our agreement that you can learn before you sign. The main thing in this agreement I can not promise love for you but you can still choose to continue or break our marriage after you give birth. Child custody will fall on me but I will never cover your identity as his mother. Other points will be explained by my lawyer.
