ILLUSIANA (CONTRACT MARRIAGE)

CHAPTER 22

Morning on a clear Sunday. Ma'am Ira was busy with her activities in the kitchen. His hands nimbly cut vegetables accompanied by a small radio playing his favorite dangdut song. Occasionally his big hips swayed and his head nodded.

Ferdian entered the kitchen and opened a large two-door refrigerator. He took a box of cold milk and took it to the middle of the kitchen set table which was covered in black marble.

“Ehem Ferdian cleared his throat next to Ira. The housekeeper turned his head and immediately played down the sound of his radio.

“Ehh, there's Boss. Hehe.... Tumben to the kitchen,” greeting mbak Ira blushed embarrassed because he was caught busy dancing alone.

“Lusi is awake, Ma'am?” asked Ferdian then gulped down his white milk.

“I don't know Boss. You are not down yet, still in his room,” replied Mbak Ira still leaving his shy smile.

“Bikinin the same sandwich milk chocolate,“ Ferdian orders while sitting on a bench mini bar.

“Now, Boss?”

“Later next year....Yes now dong, how the hell?” ferdian's tirade at his frenzied assistant. Ira's mother chuckled small and then deftly prepared what her Boss ordered.

“That's good to make it,” Ferdian's orders again.

“Ready, Boss.“

Soon two sprigs of sandwiches and a glass of warm chocolate milk were served on the tray.

Ferdian took the tray and led it to the second floor, to Lusi's room.

Ira's mom noticed her Boss' moves. He was suspicious of his employer's attitude that lately seemed far-reaching. Especially since there's been a Susie in this house. The handsome boss spends his time at home more often.

His employer used to come home late at night. Gathering with colleagues and coworkers in a luxury hotel lounge even though it is just exchanging ideas or unwind after a day of draining his mind.

On holidays, Ferdian often spends time outdoors hanging out with his friends on tennis courts or on golf courses. But now, since the presence of the young girl who is now his wife, the man becomes more comfortable at home.

“Do the Boss have a special relationship with Non Lusi?” mbak Ira in his heart was suspicious.

'And it looks like it's really the same with Non-Lusi. Every day Tanyain Non Lusi mulu. Iiihh, so jealous. Lucky really women who can get the Boss, already handsome, rich, kind, smart again. If I were young and beautiful I would be sosor tuh the Boss.'

Mbak Ira patted his eel disperse the delusion in his mind. Then back to the kitchen.

Geck...Geck...Geck... Ferdian knocked on the door of Lusi's room. There's no answer. At the press of the doorknob, it was not locked. Ferdian entered slowly. Looks like Lusi is still lying on his bed.

Ferdian placed his tray on the dressing table and sat down on the edge of the bed next to Lusi's recumbent body without a blanket. In his face, the figure of Lusi who only wore thigh-length shorts and sleeveless t-shirts gray color. Plastered foot level Susi white smooth in front of him.

Ferdian's eyes were suddenly fixed on a round pop of Luci's chest that looked 'peeking' slightly from behind his tanktop collar. He swallowed his saliva staring at that tantalizing sight.

“Wooh, this heavy temptation. My faith may be strong, but my 'Imron' down there doesn't feel strong for long seeing this." he murmured inwardly.

“In the grasp of fear he is angry, not in the grasp but redundant,” his wild thoughts begin to tease.

Ferdian's eyeballs were still fixed on the mountain silluet on Lusi's chest that looked round and beautiful. His passion began to take hold of his brain. His tone immediately rose. His fingers slowly lifted up about to touch the body of Luci.

But suddenly there was doubt and fear in case the girl was offended by what she was about to do. Rushing to remove his naughty intention to touch the smooth skin before him

Her gaze shifted on the cute face of Luci who was still closed and her lips were tightly clenched. She looks so beautiful when she sleeps. Her face was so plain and adorable.

Ferdian brought his face closer to Lusi's. His lips are getting closer. Then kissed Lusi's lips at a glance, but the warmth made Lusi awake.

The girl squirmed for a moment. Her eyelids twitching funny clarifies her vision. He rubbed both of his eyes. It was clearly seen by her Ferdian sitting beside her smiling sweetly looking at her.

“Good morning, Princess,” greet Ferdian gently. Susi got up and sat down leaning her back against the backrest.

“Sorry I woke up late, Mas. Last night studied until midnight,” said Lusi with a distinctive hoarse voice waking up.

“Nothing. Here I bring you breakfast,” Ferdian takes a tray of sandwiches and chocolate milk and puts it on the nightstand next to the bed.

“Kok bothered mas?“ Luci smiled sweetly looking at Ferdian's face that looked fresh even though it was not as clear-cut as ordinary days.

“No hassle. Just relax,” replied Ferdian and then get milk chocolate and given to Lusi. The girl took a little. Then put her back into the tray on the table.

They stared at each other softly. Without a doubt Ferdian tucked his hair behind his ear.

“Read More about two months, Mas. Why?” Susi asked back.

“No papa, Just aja.”

In Ferdian's heart grumbled, “already two months of marriage but have not been anything. The fate of being a temporary husband."

“Mas, does your sister know we're married?” it was Lusi's turn to ask.

“Not yet, but surely I will tell him later,” replied Ferdian while taking a cup of sandwiches and eating them and alternately thrusting them into the face of the mouth of Lusi. The girl chewed it slowly.

“Or better not to know, Mas. He was shocked and disliked. Time for him to come home later maybe we have separated according to the maturity of our agreement,” said Lusi lirih.

Ferdian caught the grief in the tone of Luci's voice. Lusi's face with a shahdu look.

“Kok have that thought? Do you want us to split up?“ tanya Ferdian glanced suspiciously.

“Mas itself how? we want to finish our business, right? So that we can break apart."

Ferdian shook his head while smiling bitterly at Lusi's question. He bowed for a moment.

She is still unsure of her feelings for the girl. For sure there is a very comfortable feeling when being close to him and want to always protect him.

“I heard Mas chat with Bang Rey the other day in the workspace,” said Lusi seriously.

Ferdian scrunched his forehead trying to remember.

“What do you hear?” ask Ferdian later.

“Mas said after the business of the two of us is finished we will immediately separate and live each other's lives because our relationship is only temporary. And Mas said he didn't have any sense of what I was like, just wanted to protect me,” Lusi mimicked all the Ferdian words he heard back then.

Ferdian was flabbergasted to hear it, not expecting that Lusi heard all about his feelings. Ferdian let out his heavy breath. He felt guilty for saying that. In grabbing the fingers Lusi then in the soft brake. Lucia let.

“I'm sorry yes, you shouldn't have heard that. Because I was also not sure what I said at that time,” was shrill in Ferdian's voice while staring at the two beads of Lusi.

“Ga papa kok Mas, I will be aware of my position only as a temporary wife,”

Ferdian didn't like to hear Lucia say that.

“Which I definitely like to be close to you, Lusi. You are kind, beautiful and obedient to me. That's what makes me comfortable with you,” Ferdian once again stroked the back of Lusi's hand gently.

“You like me not?” ferdian's turn to ask back because all this time even Lusi still did not openly show his feelings towards Ferdian.

Lusi just nodded while smiling sweetly. Ferdian smiled happily.

“We just live this relationship first as it is, so that later the time will ensure how we both feel in the future. We can't force ourselves, okay"

Lucia nodded in agreement. Her sweet smile was back.

“By hugs gak?” Ferdian spread out his arms, and Luci approached and drowned in the warm body of Ferdian.

The two hugged tightly. Ferdian kissed the top of Luci's head gently.

There was a whirlwind of cold wind permeating the recesses of the hearts of a couple in the meantime. And they enjoyed it very much.

In the heart of Lusi just said, “Thank you for being my protector, Mas. I was afraid to expect more. I don't deserve and know enough about it. With your good treatment I am very happy. I can live in this house and I feel like I found heaven. If I hadn't met you that night, what would I be now. Is it possible that God sent his guardian angel for me through you, Mom? May you be healthy and happy always, Mas Ferdian."

In his heart Ferdian said, "Thank you for making my days more interesting, Lusi. Sorry I can't yet

completely in love with you. What I believe in my current feelings is that I want to always have you around me because you give me a new passion in my life. I like and want to always protect you, Lusi”
