ILLUSIANA (CONTRACT MARRIAGE)

CHAPTER 18

“Oke Om Vishnu, thank you very much for the help. So what else is the required file?”

Ferdian shakes the hand of Mr. Vishnu, a Dean of the Faculty of Economics, a campus where Lusi will study there.

“This is all yes, Fer. Please be equipped, also be allowed," replied Mr. Vishnu while thrusting a note to Ferdian.

“The most important thing is that Susiana has been enrolled in this campus in the management department. For the schedule later Om staff who will contact Ferdian to be more detailed, okay,” added Mr. Wisnu again while glancing at Lusi who sat next to Ferdian.

"Ready, Om vishnu. Then we'll excuse you first.Thank you once more. Greetings to Aunt Sinta,” Ferdian stood nodding respectfully to Mr. Vishnu.

He was one of the best friends of Ferdian's late father who had known him for a long time.

“Good Fer, later Om say the same Tantemu yes. He also asked you several times since you canceled..” Mr. Vishnu continued his sentence.

The middle-aged man was afraid Ferdian would be offended later.

But Ferdian knew very well the continuation of the sentence Mr. Vishnu. Cancel Marriage means.

“Well if so. Excuse me, Om.” Pamit Ferdian then came out of the room Mr. Vishnu.

Lusi nodded respectfully to Mr. Vishnu who responded with a grin and flirtatiousness of the middle-aged man.

Lusi shuddered then stepped quickly while pulling behind Ferdian's suit.

This afternoon the atmosphere of the campus courtyard looked so crowded. Ferdian and Lusi walked through the crowd of female students who were gathered on the campus terrace.

As under command, they simultaneously turned to Ferdian with flirtatious eyes and a seductive smile. They were stunned by the tall figure of Ferdian who appeared cool and charming.

Especially with sunglasses perched on his upright nose, the more thrilling the women who turned to him.

But Ferdian still took a leisurely step while holding the hand of Lusi who was a little misbehaved across the crowd.

“Lusi, these are your files. Save it well.” Ferdian handed the blue plastic map to Lusi.

“Good, Mas.” Susi received the map and put it in the bag.

“Ehmm, Susi. I don't think I'll go home if I have a meeting at 1 o'clock. You go home between office drivers only yes,” said Ferdian glanced at his watch that had shown at twelve past fifteen minutes.

“No need, Mas. I can go home by myself. I only use online taxis,” replied Lusi lightly.

“Oooh Don't, afraid there will be nothing,” forbid Ferdian. His voice sounded anxious.

“Ga nothing, Mas. Just calm. Safe kok.“ said Lusi calming.

“Yakin well?“ ferdian asked again half in doubt.

Lusi nodded with a sweet smile. Then type something in the online taxi app on its screen.

“I wait until his online taxi comes,” said Ferdian again still with a sense of anxiety at heart.

After 5 minutes a black SUV came and the driver opened the door.

“This online taxi has come Mas, I'm home, well.“ Luci grabbed Ferdian's hand and kissed the back of his hand respectfully.

Ferdian replied to her by gently stroking Lusi's head.

“Sampe my phone home yes, don't forget!” exclaim Ferdian.

Lusi gave his thumbs up to Ferdian while smiling cheerfully. Then he entered his car.

Before long the SUV passed from the front of Ferdian through the dense streets of the capital.

In the evening.

Ferdian was seriously stuck on his laptop screen. Occasionally his forehead creased a sign he was thinking something.

Geck...Geck...Geck...

A knock on his office door. Reynard emerged from behind the door with a crisp face. As always.

“Haiii, husband person..” greet Reynard tease Ferdian.

Ferdian glanced at Reynard who immediately went in without being told. He threw himself on the couch next to Ferdian's desk.

Loosened blue tie that still hangs on the neck. Then open one button on the top of his shirt.

“You've had dinner, Rey?" asked Ferdian without letting go of the attention on his laptop screen.

“Already, earlier in the cafe with friends,” Reynard replied casually.

Now Ferdian is turning his focus to Reynard. Slowly close the laptop screen.

Reynard nodded then straightened his back which felt sore.

“There is good news, Bro,” exclaimed Reynard with his eyeballs twinkling.

“Two Bramanto subsidiary companies fell,” he continued full of enthusiasm.

Ferdian spontaneously stood up and sat on the sofa opposite Reynard.

“Really?“ asked Ferdian enthusiastically to hear it.

“So morning I got word right from Bramanto's own mouth. His company branches in Surabaya and Kalimantan were closed and I was assigned to take care of the closing procedures of both branches.”

“Yes, nice, Rey,” said Ferdian happy.

“Well, I heard that the branch in Medan has started to shake. There is a lot of corruption there. Now all his financial data is being checked by the audit team,” Reynard continued.

Ferdian thought for a moment. His hands touched his lips, his eyebrows twitched together. One idea suddenly flowed into the nerves of his brain.

“Rey, how if we acquisition Bramanto company is still healthy, I am sure with the state of collapse like this he must again need a very large cost,“ proposed Ferdian later.

Reynard was silent for a moment. His mind thought, digesting the words of his best friend just now. Then nodding to approve Ferdian's proposal which he thought was a very appropriate idea.

“Bust can. I've got all the internal data of his company. So I know there are only a few branches that are still considered healthy. Technically later we plan to be more mature again,” exclaimed Reynard.

“Try to set up, Rey. How much money we need. You should press the price to a minimum. Make him give up on the price we offer. And remember, you have to keep it from other companies cornering us,” said Ferdian enthusiastically and eagerly.

"And if I succeed in taking over his company, I will make the company battered, let him be destroyed all of you." Ferdian's determination with an anxious tone of voice.

“Quiet, Bro, I'll definitely try my best for you," said Reynard steadily.

A shadowy figure of Bramanto in the mind of Ferdian. His hatred grew even more burning every time the name of the person was mentioned.

His grudge over the deaths of both dear parents was completely unstoppable.

The goal is only one. Witnessing the killer of both his parents being crushed in his hands.

“Oiya, how are you Lusi?” tanya Reynard shifted the subject.

“Good, he has started college next Monday at the campus near my office,” replied Ferdian lightly.

His tone began to sound more relaxed and calm.

“Oiya? Good that way. But be careful Bro, could-can your wife was in gaet college guy, loh.” seloroh Reynard then take off his laughter into the air, deliberately make hot heart of his best friend.

“Means looking to die tuh guy,” said Ferdian seriously even with a smile that only flimsy.

“Jealous of you huh? It's been falling in love apparently our brother this one," teased Reynard then laughed loudly.

Ferdian just smiled wryly at Reynard's babble.

“Ahh, no. Why be jealous. My relationship with Lusi is only temporary. I just want to protect him. Responsible for maintaining his safety in accordance with the agreement. Not more, Rey. You know I find it hard to fall in love with someone.”

“Fall in love also ga papa, Bro. Susi is beautiful, kind, and submissive anyway. Fit in with this stubborn you. And certainly young leaves that, loh" said Reynard lightly still chuckle teasing Ferdian.

Ferdian only chuckled in response, then immediately shook his head weakly and bent his lips inward.

“Sentah, Rey. For now I can't feel falling in love with anyone else, including Luci. Let me live this relationship until all my business and her business is done. After that, he and I will live each other's lives, ” said Ferdian lirih.

The words were honest but accompanied by a foreign feeling that enveloped Ferdian's heart when saying them. Ferdian did not know what his name was, which must have been a sense of comfort when Lusi was with him.

Behind the door of the study room, the figure of Lusi was glued leaning his body against the wall and sighing heavily.

His eyes began to glaze over at the expression of feelings Ferdian had spoken about him.

For a moment he tightened his eyelids feeling both of his manic that was warmed by tears.

'I can't get carried away. Ferdian is right, this relationship is only temporary. He can't fall in love with me. I need to know myself. He and I are like the earth and the sky. Don't dream too high, Lusi. Later when he woke up asking for forgiveness, said bathin Lusi lirih.

Lusi stepped his foot straight into his room. He no longer wanted to hear what Ferdian and Reynard were talking about him.

For him it is enough to know what the man feels about him, at this time.
