ILLUSIANA (CONTRACT MARRIAGE)

CHAPTER 30

Dio approached Lusi who was struggling with his book at the cafeteria table alone. In front of him was a box of chocolate milk and sweet treats. Dio gave a small smile, the habit of Susi with her chocolate milk since she knew him in high school until now.

“Hai Lusi.” Sapa Dio's. The one who was called just nodded with a smile.

Without asking permission, Dio immediately occupied the seat opposite Luci. The sweet girl in front of him was clingy.

“Lusi, can I ask you something?”

Lusi looked up then nodded.

“Who is the guy who transfers you to this campus every day?”

Lusi did not answer directly. Just be quiet for a moment looking for the right words. However, he must be honest with Dio, his best friend who is very kind and attentive to him. Maybe it's time.

“Hmm, Dio. He is my husband,”, replied Lusi finally.

Dio turned his back on the back of the chair. Taking his breath was heavy and holding him back also faltered. There was a piercing pain feeling in his heart. But he remembered what Priska said the other day that the man Lusi married was old and many of his wives.

“Priska once told me that your husband is old and you are the wife to so,” tell Dio while frowning curious.

This time it was Lusi who had his back. There was a sense of relief in her heart knowing that Priska and her stepmother were completely unaware of her present state.

“I'll tell you all the same, Dio. Please listen carefully so that you do not misunderstand.“

Dio nodded in spirit. Because that's what he's been waiting for. Honest confession straight from Luci's mouth.

Lusi began to tell all the events that happened to him in detail. There's nothing he's covered up. Dio's hardened and stiffened face held in anger.

Dio did not expect the true fate of the friend he loved. Occasionally Lusi wiped away the round of tears that almost dripped down her cheeks. Dio noticed that. In his heart, he wanted to be someone who wiped away Lusi's tears and ended his suffering all this time.

“So you guys only got married temporarily? By agreement, so?” Ask Dio seriously.

Luci nodded slowly.

“Yes, it turns out we both have the same enemy, Dio. And he must have legal legality to protect me. After all he was involved when he saved me by taking me to his house. But once my business is done and the business is also done we parted well. As soon as the agreement.”

Dio again let out a heavy breath. He shook his head. He did not expect it turned out that the problem that was being faced by Susi was very heavy. For the safety of his soul. Yang Dio regretted that when Lusi faced that suffering he was not beside him because he was studying in the land of people. And now Lusi already has someone to look after him. But not him.

“Lusi, can you know how you feel about your husband? Do you love her?” Dio asked softly.

Lusi looked at Dio's face. Confused to answer. Does she love Ferdian, her husband? What is certain is what he feels now an infinite feeling of gratitude and gratitude to Ferdian who was very kind and willing to protect himself to this day.

“Come, Dio. For sure, for now, I really hope for him. Moreover my husband will help me to take back all the assets of the late father controlled by my stepmother. Including the expedition company that was built painstakingly by my parents first.”

“Right is your suffering, Luci. I feel guilty." said Dio, looking down sad.

“Why?“

“Because I'm not on your side to take care of you when you need protection" Dio said regretfully.

“Nothing, Dio. Seeing that you are now healthy and growing up, I am very happy. I think we will never meet again because you will live in America, maybe also married to someone there,” said Lusi with a light laugh. Dio smiled too.

There's no way I'm married to a bule, Luci. They're not my taste. I want it to be with you, said bathin Dio.

“I'm not at home there, Lusi. Besides, I also plan to take care of papa's property company here. Poor papa I had a stroke. The company is now run by its managers."

“Hah? Papa you stroke? Since when?“

“Iya, Susi. Since 5 months ago. Because it's also one of the reasons I returned to my homeland.”

“I'm sorry, Dio. Hope your papa gets well soon.“

Dio nodded with a small smile.

“But may I ask you for something, Dio?”

“What is it, Lusi?"

“Please secret what I told you earlier. Don't tell anyone. I'm scared to the ears of my stepmother or Priska.”  Pinta Lusi's.

“Tan easy, Luci. I'll keep this secret good for your safety.”

Dio touched the back of Lusi's hand, and stroked her gently. Dio understood the feeling of fear. Moreover, he knew for himself how evil the attitude of his stepmother and stepbrother was to Susi. He imagined that something bad would happen if the two ruthless people knew of Lusi's whereabouts and current state.

“Haiiiii..” Suddenly Nikita and Ashanti appear from behind Lusi. Their smiles are smashed. Moreover, Nikita who was sparkling stared at the fresh face of Dio with his thick eyebrows.

Dio and Lusi misbehaved them. Moreover, they had seen the hand of Dio who was holding the hand of Luci.

“Hai, Dio. How are you doing? More handsome aja.” Sapa Nikita flirty.

Dio just smiled at the dikulum hearing Nikita's praise.

“Hei Lusi, why don't you enter class?” ask Ashanti later

“And no lecturer, Shan. So just mending me here. Rather than the constant rantings of Reno that always nguntit me,” replied Lusi in welcoming laughter Ashanti and Nikita.

“Reno has a crush on you times, Lus. That's why he pepet you mulu hehehe..” Nikita teases Lusi.

Lusi shrugged both of his shoulders. Her lips responded to Nikita's words.

Dio smiled glancing at Lusi. That girl hasn't changed. It's easy to make people like him. His good personality and and soft speech are in harmony with his face that makes people not bored looking at him. That was why Dio never stopped loving her until this moment, even though Lusi could only accept her as a friend.

My mom and dad really liked Lusi. Several times papa mama intend to adopt Lusi because he had seen with his own eyes how physical suffering in nature since his father married his stepmother again. But Lusi always refused because he did not want to separate from his father who was sickly. For Lusi, physical pain and the pressure of the bathin because the treatment of his stepmother and step sister is not so he is important to be able to accompany and take care of his father until the end of life.
