ILLUSIANA (CONTRACT MARRIAGE)

CHAPTER 15

Vika, the secretary knocked on the door of his leadership room, Ferdian Adiwijaya and rushed in without asking permission first.

Ferdian who was struggling with his gawai looked up for a moment and found Vika standing riled up and clumsy across the table. Ferdian stopped his activities, then looked confusedly at his secretary.

“What's up, Vik? How nervous is that?“ asked Ferdian, then looked at Vika in surprise.

“Ehmm, that's Sir. There ... it .... Ada...” Vika stammered with her index finger towards the door.

“What the hell is it? Debt Collector collect your credit card debt again? You take care of yourself, do not bring the business to this office,” emphasized Ferdian, then back to focus on struggling with his salary.

“Ferdian..”.

Suddenly a woman's voice called out her name. Ferdian looked up again, as well as Vika who looked increasingly nervous turned to turn to the origin of the voice and then towards her boss.

Degh...!

Ferdian's heart seemed to stop for a moment, finding the figure of Amanda, his ex-wife-to-be standing right in front of him, parallel to Vika who was still fixated in confusion and fear.

Amanda stands gracefully with a tight minidress that prints her beautiful curves and opens slightly on the cleavage. Not to forget her red lips singed the sweetest smile for the ex-husband.

“Sorry, Sir. He is able to enter,” said Vika with a voice trembling in fear. There's guilt about him letting Amanda in without her boss's permission.

Ferdian indeed repeatedly reminded Vika not to allow the woman who was one to meet him let alone enter his room.

Ferdian got up from his seat and nodded at Vika gesturing to leave the room. Vika nodded faintly and rushed out.

“What do you need?" ferdian asked coldly and flatly to Amanda.

“Fer, please let me talk to you. About our relationship. I. "answered Amanda with a clear face.

“About us, there is nothing more to talk about,” cut Ferdian ketus while turning his eyeballs on the view outside the window behind his chair.

Amanda did not give up. He moved closer to Ferdian and touched the back of the man's hand. Soon Ferdian pulled his hand and put it in his pants pocket.

Amanda swallowed a saliva that felt bitter because she received cynical treatment from the man who almost became her husband.

“I'm sorry for what happened between us, Fer. I regret. And I'm really khilaf. All this time I tried to meet you but you seemed to reject me. All your access is closed to me" said Amanda still staring at the cold face that Ferdian showed.

“It's not as if, but indeed I reject you," Ferdian rebut idled lazily at the sexy-clothed beautiful woman.

“Bebi, I know I was wrong. Can we ever repair our relationship again? I can't let you go. I love you, Beb. Please, give me a chance once again to make amends for all my mistakes.“ Amanda pleaded with hope.

Ferdian shook his head slowly. He did not believe the woman in front of him. It was as easy as begging for a second chance after successfully ravaging his pride as a man.

He stared at Amanda's face with a cynical and cold look so that Amanda knew that she did not expect him anymore.

“Sorry, no more chance for you. For me, you are just a past that I've been throwing away for a long time,” said Ferdian flat expressionless.

“But, Beb. You don't know why I was able to do it that night, I'll explain it to you. I was drunk that night. You know for yourself how my friends are so excited to hear we're getting married. They took me to Bachelorette Party at the bar. And I didn't realize all of a sudden that I was in that room with Ivan, my friend. You know Ivan, right? No way, I'm doing that.” Amanda explained at length with excitement.

But Ferdian seemed to heed his hearing while bending his lips. It seems that he does not want to hear Amanda's explanation which for him no longer matters.

“Aaahhh, stop! Whatever your reason is I believe more in what I see with my own eyes. And I'm grateful it happened before our wedding. So I know a woman like you is not a good woman to be my wife.” Ferdian's tone of voice rose.

His gaze sharply challenged Amanda who began to bow and shed tears. Whether it's acting or it's from the heart.

“Now come out, there is nothing more to discuss. And don't come here again. Hurti!” Ferdian threw her away without pitying Amanda who had already shed tears.

Amanda's gaze paled at Ferdian, but the cold man before her was reluctant to look back at him. He was still glued to his place hoping that Ferdian's attitude would soften a bit on him.

“I know you still love me right, Beb?“ amanda asked softly as if convinced Ferdian's answer was in line with her expectations.

Because he thought their two years together were beautiful there was no way Ferdian could forget it. Moreover, Amanda knew how much love and attention Ferdian had for her at that time.

But Amanda had no idea that men who were hurt by being betrayed could easily forget all the good memories they had passed through.

Therefore Ferdian shook his head steadily while laughing softly as if he was mocking him.

“You think the only woman in the world is you? Don't go to ge-er an. Since that night all my feelings for you faded away instantly. So don't get tau.” Ferdian's answer sounded so painful in Amanda's ears. There was a heart that was sliced in the chest.

“It's enough base the base. Now hurry out or I call security to kick you out," Ketus Ferdian can no longer suppress the growl.

Amanda's confidence that she's been carrying around since has been shed for a while. Then he slowly moved away with his eyeballs that had been soaked by tears.

“Look at it, you will definitely come back to me, Beb,” his vow before leaving the room.

Ferdian sat down on the chair. His head was slung back. His breath was so heavy. She didn't expect Amanda to see her again after what she did to her two years ago.

It was not only his heart that was sick from that betrayal, however, but also the shame he had to bear on the extended family and colleagues because of the widespread invitations and the building where the marriage certificate and reception have been prepared with very beautiful and elegant. 

How troublesome he was with Reynard and his extended family called one by one three hundred invitations to cancel his wedding reception at that time. Not to mention facing sponsors who have signed endorsement contracts for their wedding party.

How hard his heart was at that moment. And it's hard to cure. One year later she learned to forget Amanda. Move On and find new love.

But luckily there is Reynard the only loyal friend who always entertains and accompanies him in difficult times. Until all the shadows and anything related to Amanda slowly disappear and do not work.

One day he is sure to find someone who truly loves him and he loves.

Is Lusi the one?

Suddenly his memory was on his wife at home.

What the hell is he doing?

Ferdian grabbed the phone from the table then typed in the home phone number quickly and pressed the dialing button. There was a sound of a continuous tone from across.

“Hallo, good afternoon,” welcome voice from across. The voice of Ira's mother with her centile characteristics.

“Mbak Ira, Susi what else? Try to connect to him, I want to talk,” Ferdian's command immediately.

“This is with whom?“ Ira's voice asked back.

Ferdian growled while closed. “With Tom Hanks of Cililitan. Errgh....Mbaaaakkkk! Want me to fire?”  Ferdian yells upset at the behavior of Mbak Ira, his domestic assistant who always gives him a headache.

“Ooo, this is Boss. I'm so sorry Boss, who am I? Sorry, his voice is different, like there are sweet-sweet that way, Boss,” always Mbak Ira without knowing his boss here is growling annoyed because of his actions.

“Cepet connect to Lusi,” Ferdian command again

“Oooh, okay. Ready, My Boss,”

I heard the wait a few times.

“Hallo?” greet the soft voice of Lusi.

“Lusi, what are you again? Have you had lunch?” ask Ferdian lightly.

“Already Om, now I'm lying aja.”

“Eehhmm yes already, later I go home sooner, there is something for you,” said Ferdian.

“What, Om?" ask Susie curious.

“There, just wait. Already yes, I finished the work first.”

“Good, Om.”

Ferdian terminated his phone call. Then smiling alone imagined the cute face of Lusi in his mind.

He never expected at all the employee of his subscription flower stall is now his wife even with a pre-marital agreement behind her. But that's life, always full of the unexpected.
