ILLUSIANA (CONTRACT MARRIAGE)

CHAPTER 28

Dio glanced at the watch in his hand, it was already two in the afternoon. College time is usually over. The students were already crowded out of their respective locales. Dio was still frowning looking for the figure of Luci on the campus lobby door. But it doesn't look either. Long dio wait. He really wanted to meet that girl.

Waiting five minutes later. Seen by him, Lusi wearing a black shirt and his jeans ran small towards the lobby where he stood.

“Lusion!” Call Dio. The girl looked up and smiled at him.

“Hai Dio's. You've started college, huh?“

“Yes, it's my first day.”

“Hopefully good well your college here, Dio.” said Lusi happy.

Dio nodded and smiled.

“You have a minute? I want to chat with you,” asked Dio expectantly.

Tiinn...Tiinn... Suddenly a car horn sounded a few meters in front of them.

Ferdian opened the windshield and waved at Susi.

“Ehmm, Sorry Dio. I've been picked up. Next time we talk again. Bye dio.” Without waiting for Dio's answer, Lusi ran over to Ferdian's car and got into it.

Dio observed Ferdian sitting behind the wheel until the car disappeared from his face.

“Who is that guy? Is her husband Lusi? But Priska said her husband was old? What driver? But really stylish, like a boss boss. Who is he?” Dio muttered alone. She's curious.

“Haiii Dio..!” Suddenly Nikita patted Dio on the shoulder from behind. The sweet man looked. Nikita and Ashanti smiled at him.

“Eh, Hi.. Want to go home?” dio asked nervously in shock.

“Yes, our lecture will be two o'clock. If you were in college this afternoon?” ask Nikita.

“No, today I only go to college in the morning, this also wants to go home.”

“It's so we go home together, yuk. I'll take you to the front of the house, deh.” Get Nikita excited.

“It just so happens that I also brought a vehicle, Nik. Maybe next time yes,” replied Dio politely. Nikita was singing her lips. The hope of getting along with Dio failed.

“Alright, I went home first well afraid of getting stuck in traffic, Bye." Pamit Dio waves at Nikita and Ashanti. Then step towards his white sedan parked not far from the campus lobby.

“Hei, Nik. Do you really have a crush on Dio?” Colek Ashanti on Nikita's arm.

“Ho’oh. Abis handsome. The guy is very gentle too. I like guys like that.“

“Iih, basic ganjen.” Ledek Ashanti flicked Nikita's eel and then drove away leaving Nikita who was grimacing holding her eel.

In Ferdian's Car.

Lusi gawked in the street. His eyes darted towards the surroundings.

“Where are we going, Mas? I don't think it's going home?” lusi asked confusedly looking at Ferdian.

The man smiled at her without answering. Susi pulled her lips together because she didn't get an answer. Back his eyeballs were observing the road.

Suddenly the car turned Ferdian towards a flower stall. Lusi's gaze was focused on the flower stall he was very familiar with. His smile broadened. Ferdian looked at his wife with a smile.

“Mas?” lirih voice Lusi while holding Ferdian's arm that is still attached to the driver.

“Come down. You must have missed this stall," said Ferdian softly.

The two young couples got out of their car. Susi who was still standing next to the car door looked at the expanse of beautiful multicolored flowers in front of her. Ferdian surrounded the face of his car approached Lusi and took his hand into the shabby stall.

Seen by Lusi at the cashier's table, Mother Dahlia was concentrating on counting the sheets of money in her hand.

“Please look at –liat first yes,” greet Mother Dahlia friendly without even turning to Lusi who is staring at her with eyes that have been wet.

“Mother..” Call Lusi lirih.

Bu dahlia felt that recognizing the voice was spontaneously looking up. His eyes widened to see Lusi who was standing a few meters away from him with Ferdian.

“Yes God, Luciiiii darling.” Directly Bu Dahlia threw the money sheet on the table and then rushed towards Lusi. His arms stretched out wide welcoming the body of Lusi then hugging him with a very haru feeling. On the deck of the body Lusi tightly. Her tears are breaking. Likewise, Lusi, who was unable to hold back her crying, saw the soft face of Ms. Dahlia. Several times Bu Dahlia landed a kiss unfortunately on Susi's cheek and forehead.

“Yes Allah Son, I miss you very much," said Bu Dahlia pasted her palms clutched her cute face Lusi.

“I also miss Mom,” reply Lusi while reaching the back of Bu Dahlia's hand and kiss her with reverence.

“Where have you been all this time, son? Mom looking for you everywhere.”

Lusi glanced at Ferdian who was standing a bit away from them in order to make room for the two women of different ages to remove the kangen. Bu Dahlia followed the glancing direction of Lusi's eyes. Instantly her eyelids squinted at Ferdian's figure from head to toe.

“Jeez, Mas Ferdian? Is this true Mas Ferdian?” Ms. Dahlia was shocked to believe that the person she saw was Ferdian, a customer of her famous flower shop who was very kind and friendly.

Ferdian nodded amiably with a wide smile displaying a row of his white and neat teeth.

“The story is long, Mom," replied Lusi briefly.

“Come sit down first. I want to hear everything. Come Mas Ferdian, please sit down, sorry the place is a bit messy.” Miss Dahlia invited them. The two obeyed and sat side by side on the pink sofa in front of Bu Dahlia.

“So where have you been all this time, son? Everyone is looking for you. There are even some people you don't know coming here looking for you, too" asked Bu Dahlia curiously.

Lucia and Ferdian looked at each other. From the language of his gaze, Lusi was like asking permission to say everything. Ferdian understood what Luci meant and nodded slowly.

“Ehmm, Mom. During this time Lusi with Mas Ferdian lived in his house,” replied Lusi later.

“What? How can?“ Bu Dahlia was shocked and turned to Ferdian who was putting his arm on the back of Lusi's head.

“Iya Ma'am, I've been living with Mas Ferdian for two months. Ever since I ran away from the bad guy who kidnapped me, Mom.”

Bu Dahlia was shocked to hear Lusi's words. His eyes opened his mouth slightly.

“Abducted? Yes Allah, Lusi.”

Luci nodded weakly. Her tears started to flow back.

“My stepmother sold me to an old rich man, Mom. I was accidentally left in that guy's house by my stepmother. I was forced to serve that man, Mom. But I don't want.” Lusi wiped away her already flooded tears soaking her smooth cheeks. Ferdian stroked Luci's shoulders to strengthen his heart.

“Jeez, Lusi. Dzolim once your stepmother. Then did something bad happen to you, son?”

“Thank God no, Mom. I'm doing fine. The wife of the bad guy saved me. That same night I came out of the house when the man was sleeping because he was deliberately given sleeping pills by his wife.”

Bu Dahlia let out a sigh of relief. Because his mind had already led to a very bad thing to happen to Luci.

“Then I ran away, Mom. He was chased by some of his guards. But thank God I met Mas Ferdian who happened to cross the road. I went with Mas Ferdian and stayed at his house until now.“

Bu Dahlia looked gently at Ferdian. His hand slid towards him. Ferdian replied and clasped Bu Dahlia's fingers.

“Thank you so much for helping Lusi, Mas Ferdian. Mother was really relieved to hear it," said Bu Dahlia softly, her tears streaming down.

“Iya Ma'am, equally. Mother, don't worry anymore. Susi is safe with me" Ferdian said calmly.

Bu Dahlia's eyeballs were tethered to Ferdian's ring. Then replace it on Lusi's sweet fingers. The ring shape is the same. Lusi's fingers were then closed to Ferdian's fingers. His mouth was wide open. Her eyes widened. It's really the same pair of rings.

“Are you guys already..?” The words Bu Dahlia hung while staring at Ferdian's face and Lusi alternated. Both of them smiled sweetly and then nodded. They understood what Ms. Dahlia's question meant.

“Iya Ma'am, we are married,” replied Ferdian steady.

Ms. Dahlia flinched then her laughter broke out in excitement. He stretched his arms to hug Susi. Lusipun. They embraced happily.

“Lusi, I'm so happy to hear that. I'm very happy, son," said Bu Dahlia moved while fondly stroking Lusi's hair. Luci nodded slowly.

“Ooh yes Lusi, do you remember what mom said first?” tanya Bu Dahlia tried to remind something to Luci.

Lusi frowned trying to remember what Bu Dahlia had told him. But he didn't find his memory of it. He looked at Bu Dahlia.

“Mom once told you first, ask God to leave one guy like Mas Ferdian for you, right.” Bu Dahlia helped remind Lusi. The girl's smile immediately expands to recall the words of Bu Dahlia who teased her first because of her shyness in the figure of Ferdian.

“What's Bu?” Ferdian who refused to join nimbrung wanted to know the meaning of Bu Dahlia's words earlier.

“Mas, from the first Lusi is already the same as Mas Ferdian. But minder. He said it was impossible for a man like Mas Ferdian to like him. It turns out that he is now a husband. Hehehehe..” Bu Dahlia chuckled while glancing at Lusi whose cheeks instantly blushed pink. Ferdian laughed lightly at it. There was a feeling of Ge Er in his heart hearing Bu Dahlia's honesty about his wife.

“Diiihh, Mom, make me shy.“ Lusi glanced at Ferdian who also glanced at him anxiously.

“That's why you don't be inferior, don't you say that nothing is impossible for God. The important thing is to keep praying at all times,” said Bu Dahlia patted the back of Lusi's hand gently. Lusi nodded.

“Oiya, Mother. I beg you not to tell anyone about the whereabouts of Lusi, Mom. If anyone asks, just say never met,” said Ferdian seriously.

Bu Dahlia nodded steadily and gave her thumbs up.

“Definitely, Mas. I-i understand. I will keep my mouth shut for the good and safety of Lusi.”

“Well thank you, Mom. That's when we say goodbye first. Come on Honey, we're home, it's afternoon.” Invite Ferdian to glance at his watch that has shown at six in the afternoon.

“Bu, Lusi says yes. I take care of health. Later if there is a chance for Lusi to come again,” said Lusi. Then hugged the lush body of Bu Dahlia tightly and then kissed the back of her hand.

Meanwhile Ferdian took out ten hundred thousand pieces of money and placed them on the cashier's table without Bu Dahlia's knowledge.

Ms. Dahlia escorted them both out to Ferdian's luxury car parked beside her stall.

Still with a happy smile that puffed up on her lips Bu Dahlia waved at Lusi who looked at her for a while before getting into the car. Before long the sedan car was already blending into the streets that already looked crowded and faltered.
