Getting Married Without a Relationship

Ring 3

Rei's concert tour titled 'One Decade For You' was a huge success. After the successful concert in Lombok, the closing concert was held in Jakarta. All tickets provided by the committee are always sold out even less.

Now to celebrate his success, the Producer and all the team have a party at a cafe that has been booked the day before. Everyone is so late in the fun.

Except Nino.

The Manager looked gloomy from this afternoon, like there was a problem that was being hidden, but Rei was reluctant to ask, later because it was time to have fun, Rei thought.

But finally Nino said, "Rei, tonight I sleep in your apartment. There are things to talk about" Nino half-whispered to Rei.

"About what?" ask Rei. Nino stared at Rei's old face, looking at him with an unusual gaze. Nino sighed then replied, "Later on," he said in a weak tone and then went to another table, approaching Mr. Robi the Producer who was busy chatting.

"Nino is weird. Why her?" muttered Rei astonished.

After midnight the party was over. Rei intends to continue his fun to a nightclub but is detained by Nino.

"Tomorrow you have a ten-hour photo shoot, you have to get up at eight, so I guess the night club has to be forgotten. You have to come home with me now, did you forget there was anything I was going to talk to you about?" Rei blinked, right, he forgot that.

Rei snorted, "Alright, my manager is a prankster. Because you're going to my apartment, so now you'd better drive the car" Rei said, throwing his sports car keys at Nino.

Nino raised next to her eyebrows. "Riding a Lamborgini in the middle of the night like this I think would be nice. Shall we grab a little bit?"

"Nice, of course. I think the traffic cop's asleep." Rei and Nino laughed as they walked into Rei's black Lamborgini.

The Rei Apartment is located in the elite area of south Jakarta. Rei and Nino were now sitting on the balcony of Rei's apartment enjoying cigarette after cigarette and feeling the night breeze.

"So what are you going to talk about until you stay at my apartment?"

Nino's face turned crumpled, he looked very depressed with the matter.Never had Rei seen Nino that depressed. Does Nino have a problem with her mother that always forces her to get married? Or is there another problem? As far as Rei was concerned, Nino would be very depressed if her mother had brought up the matter. Because Nino's two sisters were married first.

Rei waited for Nino to speak patiently. Nino turned off her cigarette, which was still half-burned in an ashtray, and rubbed her face with both hands.

"What's wrong, No? Speak out! Did your mother tell you to get married?" ask Rei. Nino changed her sitting position then looked at Rei with a serious face.

"It doesn't look like I'm getting married soon, but you are" Nino said, pointing at Rei.

Rei laughed in response to Nino's words. "Are you kidding me? That's right," said Rei amused but also bitter. 'What's with this guy? She's so weird. Why did he suddenly guess I was getting married? Was he eating wrong in the cafe?'

"Rei look at my face! Do I look like I'm joking with this face?" Now Nino pointed at her own face.

Rei swallowed the saliva feeling a little frightened. Is correct. For eight years Rei had known Nino, that was indeed the flamboyant man's serious face. His eyes looked straight at the interlocutor and his forehead furrowed until his thick eyebrows almost fused with each other, just like that was Nino's serious look.

"M__What do you mean, No?" ask Rei worriedly.

"You remember Sandara the girl in Bali who slept with you?"

"Nortage?"

"Geez, you can't possibly forget that girl, can you?"

"It's not that, of course I remember, but I just found out that the girl's name is Sandara."

"Yes, Sandara or Dara. It doesn't matter whose girl's name is. More importantly now you should know that Dara's pregnant."

Rei's eyes immediately widened, the cigarette that was still burning in his hand dropped to the floor. Like getting a bomb that suddenly falls from the sky on a quiet night, or like an apocalypse that suddenly comes without warning.

"Rei, this afternoon Nia's friend Dara called me and told me this. I forgot to give her my number in Bali. For God's sake, I was shocked when I heard this news. She said Dara kept crying knowing she was pregnant, not eating or going to the office. But so far no one knows about this problem but us. And I've asked Nia to keep this matter a secret from anyone. Dara was afraid her parents would know. Nia said, Dara kept crying because she was afraid of her parents. Now we have to how's Rei?"

Rei dropped his head on the table. A million questions engulfed his head and assaulted him without mercy. He thought about his career, his family, and most of all he thought about Nadine. What about Nadine? What about a relationship that is committed to a serious relationship? Will everything be ruined by a mistake in one night?

"Rey!" exciting Nino. Rei raised his head and looked at Nino with a sad look. "I don't know," Rei replied listlessly. Nino returned to her seat.

"Rei, do we have to execute our original plan? In order to make your career safe, you must marry Dara. Do you remember what I said in Bali?"

"But is that the only way out? Nino, I don't think I can marry anyone but Nadine."

Nino hit the table with all her might. "Nadine-Nadine-Nadine! You still thinking about that girl? Rei, all you have to think about now is your career! Many contracts that I have signed for the program in the next few months, if this problem arises in the public how? You're gonna cancel all those contracts? Then how much compensation will we have to pay for all the contracts you have canceled? When you count it with a calculator I'm sure you'll be shocked to find out the results. You should know the infotainment reporter right now is great. And Nia's friend Dara won't stay silent if you don't want to take responsibility. So please forget Nadine! That girl even caused you to make a mistake with Dara. To be honest, from the start I didn't agree that you were in contact with Nadine. There's nothing to expect with an LDR, you don't know how he got there, do you? Even Nadine rarely contacts you."

"That's because Nadine is busy in college" Rei said flatly.

"Hey, that's just a cliche excuse. You're such a fool. Who often communicates often mischievous, especially you who rarely communicate? Rei, don't waste your time on LDR. Hear you? Don't waste your time!" nino's speech is full of emphasis.

Rei cupped his head with both hands. Nino is right, but right now Rei only loves Nadine. Getting married to someone other than Nadine would definitely be very hard. But Nino's right, Rei has to save his career.

"If you don't hear what I'm saying right now, I'll make sure your career is over. You'll be abandoned by all your fans. Because they don't like a jerk like you."

The family of Salim Pratikno (family Dara) is gathered at the dinner table enjoying breakfast that must be attended by all residents of the house, no one should miss this morning's meal.

This family is very disciplined and organized. And the three children of Salim Pratikno practice this habit patiently until finally accustomed. Dara's father was a professor who taught at a state college, while his mother had a catering business. Both of Dara's older brothers have not been married. The eldest brother was busy working in the finance ministry, while the second was a doctor who was busy practicing in a hospital and was taking specialist programs in.

Dara's face this morning still looks pale, but as much as possible he does not show the problems that are being faced in front of his parents. Dara had to be reasonable so that her parents were not suspicious.

"Ra, you still look pale, are you still sick?" ask Dara's mother, it seems the only one who is observant is her mother.

"Do you want to go to the doctor? If you're still sick, you better not work now" his mother said worriedly.

"Huh, to the doctor? Ah, no need Ma, I'm fine. I have to work now, not good at my boss."

"You're serious?" Dara nodded with a smile easing her mother's worries.

"Become, you need to be checked! Let papa call doctor Rian," Dara's father said while removing his phone from the place where the phone was attached to the belt.

Dara looked at her father restlessly, but with her mouth tightly clenched, not daring to refute even the slightest words of her father. However, it seems that Alan_kak both Dara_can read the look on the girl's face.

"Pa, Papa forgot that there was a doctor in this family? Let me check on Dara, ", Alan said.

Dara's father dropped his phone. "All right, you're the one who checked." Alan launched a smile to calm Dara down, and Dara felt saved.

"Andi, how's your job?" Andi looked up at his father, he was somewhat surprised when his name was mentioned by his father.

"Good, Pa," Andi answered briefly.

"Your life is thirty-one years. You should've started thinking about marriage," shoot his father without a cue. Andi blinked, he swallowed his food with difficulty, for God's sake Andi did not like if his father had discussed the matter. Andi gulped down some water to ease her shock.

"But if you're married, I hope not with Tika, I don't like her. He's a radio announcer, isn't he? Anyway, all children should not be married to someone who works in the entertainment world, because mama does not agree. Find another woman who's better than Tika." Salim Pratikno nodded, agreeing with his wife's words.

Dara was sure when she heard her mother's words earlier, her heart seemed to stop beating for a few seconds. Finish already. What if his father and mother knew now that he was pregnant with his son 'The king of the entertainment world, aka the top singer and actor of this country?' I don't know, Dara can't imagine.
