Forced Marriage With Duda

Laura lives in Arsa's house

After going through various considerations and discussions, Laura finally decided to accept Arsa's offer to stay at her house. Although Laura was initially uncomfortable with the situation, she realized that this was the best option in her current condition.

Laura realizes that her family's financial situation is difficult, and living in Arsa's house provides a more stable solution and reduces the financial burden for her and her family.

Laura also sees that Arsa is very caring and ready to provide support in dealing with this difficult situation. He appreciates Arsa's good intentions to help and wants to create a comfortable environment for both of them. Laura realized that together, they can support each other and face the challenges that exist.

Despite her anxiety and uncertainty, Laura prepares to undergo this change with an open attitude and hopes that this decision will bring good to her and her family.

Laura was already at Arsa's house, inevitably she had to stay here. He had delivered both his parents at the airport. Even though this sucks, he still lives it. He did this because for the sake of his parents, now Arsya is showing the room that will be occupied by Laura.

Laura hears everything Arsa says, because this is not her home. He also still has respect, especially Arsa has given a ride to him. A little weird, why would Arsa want him to stay with her? Which he always uttered bad words to him.

"If you need something, you can call ART. You're free to do anything in this house."

"Crazy, I'm just here hitchhiking. I owe you the same."

"Laura, I don't consider this a debt. I want to be here, so that you are not wrong in the company. I can take care of you, because you're alone here."

"Gue is not a child that you have to take care of, I can already distinguish what is good and what is bad. Don't be two-faced with me! Lo okay?" Laura looked at Arsa hatefully.

Arsa breathed slowly. "You can rest, if something happens you can call me." Arsa left immediately without waiting for a response from Laura.

"This big house where I can call you," Laura grumbled and went into the room.

Inside Laura looked at every inch of this room, it was very spacious with a white-colored interior more dominating. There is AC, sofa, television, even a mini refrigerator also exist. It turns out that Arsa is really as rich as he thinks. Not only that, the window is opened using a button, even the curtains as well.

He shook his head in amazement at this, if this is how he might not feel at home. There he will sleep on and forget what really happened. Although his parents' business went bankrupt, his family can still earn money with business in China. So going broke this time doesn't really make it think.

Moreover, he has got a job, his savings money from previous work he still keeps well. So he'll use that alone. Although actually the production is more than the income. For these months he will try to save.

Dinner time has come, since coming to Arsa's house this afternoon, Laura has not come out of her room at all. Inside this room there are plenty of snacks, there is a toilet too. So now that he was hesitant enough to come out, it just so happened that the room that Arsa gave him was downstairs.

Actually, her mother called herself and told her to leave the room. Regretting for having told him in the room continues. Despite the hesitation, Laura continued to walk away from her room. Up to where he saw Glen who seemed to be walking towards him.

"Hi," said Glen. It seemed like Laura hadn't seen Glen in a long time.

"Come to you, Papa said you should come to dinner with us."

"So she really said that?" laura asked and immediately got a nod from Glen.

"Do you not want to? Or would Glen just take your food to the room?" bargain Glen with her innocent face.

"No need, I'll come with you there." Glen pulled Laura's hand towards the dining table. Laura followed and followed Glen's small steps.

Until finally two people of different ages had arrived at the dining table. Laura could see there were a lot of different kinds of food on the table. There was also Arsa sitting at the very end of the chair. There was also Josh sitting next to Arsa with some sofa cushions on the chair.

Because Josh's body could not reach the dining table, he sat on several pillows. Arsa who realized Laura's arrival immediately stopped her eating activities, actually she was also confused about what to say.

"You can sit down." Finally the word came out of Arsa's mouth. Laura pushed the chair back and sat down.

"Josh, don't keep stirring the food. Do you not like? Otherwise papa will make you the food you like." Arsa looked at Josh.

"Josh wants fried eggs, same sauce."

"Alright, papa will make it. Wait here." Arsa got up from her seat and walked towards the kitchen.

"He was very patient with his son, when it seemed that his face was very tired," Laura said after hearing the conversation between the father and the child.

"Papa, Glen wants to kayak Josh, too. Glen wants two eggs."

A few minutes after that, Arsa returned to the dining table with two dishes. "Gosh, you guys are. You should eat what's there," he said.

"You shouldn't spoil your children, they should also know how to appreciate food" Laura said.

"If I don't follow what they want, they'll cry. And it makes me fail in taking care of my son."

"Arsa, this is not a failure or not. But about teaching and upbringing that should be applied since childhood. You know, if I used to be spoiled. That's why I'm like this. I don't mean to say you're wrong in your child's education, so don't get me wrong."

Arsa sat still, digesting every word that came out of Laura's mouth. He looked at Laura's serious face, and felt firmness in her words. Arsa feels moved to listen more to Laura, to try to understand her perspective and life experiences. In her heart, Arsa promises to give Laura a chance, and supports her decision wholeheartedly. They both need to respect each other and give each other space to grow in their relationship.
