ILLUSIANA (CONTRACT MARRIAGE)

CHAPTER 38

Two beautiful women of different ages entered the elevator room together. After arriving at the destination floor, the two walked gracefully up the thick carpeted floor towards the leader's room.

But their confident pace was paused when the receptionist greeted us kindly from behind the table.

“Good day, can anyone help?”

Cantika, who immediately put on a flat face only answered briefly. “You to Ferdian's parlor,“

“Pak Ferdian? Do you have an appointment?“

Cantika's eyeballs shone sharply on the Goddess. “I'm your boss's sister. Why should you make a deal first," he said fiercely. Making the look of the face of the Goddess instantly changed.

“Sorry. Yes already. Please, Ma'am. From here straight on, turn right, then right again, the room is on the left," tell Dewi with details.

Cantika approached towards the Goddess, then snorted in annoyance. ”Udah know!" he said very loudly.

Then immediately pull Amanda's arm towards Ferdian's room according to Dewi's direction.

“Huh, real cocky! Very different from her brother,” sewot Dewi staring back at Cantika and Amanda who had gone away.

“Iya yes. So ketus. I'm not sure if he was bloodied with Mr. Ferdian,” timpal Intan who took a peek at the backs of two women that.

“Pak Ferdian blue blood, this one may be dirty blood,” Cibir Dewi pursed lips.

Intan laughed at hearing it. He patted the Goddess on the shoulder. “Which is patient, yes,” he said then still leaving laughter.

The door to Ferdian's room opened. Ferdian and Vika, his secretary, were having a serious conversation.

They turned to Amanda and Cantika who had already entered without knocking on the door first.

'What the hell is Cantika taking Amanda to the office?' ferdian grumbled in heart.

“Kak, busy huh?” call Cantika in front of the Ferdian table.

“Oiya, Vika. This is my sister Cantika.” Ferdian introduced Cantika to Vika who nodded respectfully at the girl.

“Halo, how are you? I'm Vika, secretary Mr. Ferdian.“ Vika reached out her hand and was greeted by Cantika without smiling.

“Kak, lunch cement, dong,“ pinta Cantika spoiled without poking Vika waiting for the stale base of Cantika.

Ferdian glanced at the watch in his hand. It's two o'clock. It's time to pick up Lusi at his college.

“You ate alone, yes. I can't. I have to pick up Lusi.“ Ferdian rejected the request subtly.

Cantika turned to Amanda who snorted when she heard Ferdian's reasoning.

“Iihhh, Sister. Can't he go home alone? Pake picked up everything. Spoiled highly.” Cantika.

He threw himself in a rage in the chair in front of his brother.

Ferdian breathed heavily. He was worried that Lusi would come home alone. Moreover, all office drivers seem not to be in place.

“Ferdian, you don't like Cantika? Memento lunch can't be?” Amanda opens her voice in defense of Cantika.

Of course he also really wanted Ferdian to accompany them to lunch this time in order to reopen communication with the man of his dreams.

“Come, Brother. I miss traditional cooking. Says Brother Amanda, I know the most delicious restaurant around here.” Cantika.

There seemed to be no more room for Ferdian to refuse his sister's request. Take the device on the table. Then type something.

Lusi, you came home alone with an online taxi huh. I have a sudden business. Fill in the message in the app that Ferdian sent to Lusi.

“After," replied Ferdian finally approved Cantika's request.

Cantika smiled happily. Amanda also put on a hopeful smile.

“Vika, you continue to check these files yes. His report sent to my email,” Ferdian orders on Vika who is standing next to him.

“Good, sir," said Vika while nodding.

Ferdian grabbed the black suit hanging from the back seat, then stepped out of the room, followed by Cantika and Amanda who looked happy.

Kampused.

Lusi closed his phone screen after reading a green app message from Ferdian.

“Hai, Lusi.” Dio poked Lusi's shoulder from behind. Lusi just looked at it.

“Wait for an invitation?” ask Dio.

“Today I was not picked up. I took a taxi online aja.”

“Let me take you home.” Dio offered himself enthusiastically.

Lusi smiled at a glance. He remembers the last time Dio drove home, Ferdian was furious.

“No need, Dio. I came home with a taxi online aja.“ Luci refused subtly.

“Please, don't refuse, Luci. I'm worried about you coming home alone.”

Without waiting for Lusi's approval, Dio immediately pulled Lusi's hand towards his car. Lusi resigned also finally and entered Dio's car.

The highway is starting to creep. Dio drove his car quietly. Occasionally glimpsed Lusi who sat beside him was busy with his cellphone.

Triingg...Triying...Triying....

Dio's phone rang loudly. Seen a nickname entered on the screen. Mamma.

“Halo, Ma?” welcome Dio lekas.

“Dio, are you home from college?”

“Already Ma, this again on the way home.”

“You can stop by for a while at Abdi Restaurant on Jalan Siak, you know. Buy Liwet rice two packages yes for papa.“

“Good, Ma. It just so happens to be close to my current location. “

“Okay, Dio. Careful on the road.”

Phone connection disconnected. Dio turned back to look at Lusi .

“Lusi, we stop by the restaurant in front there. Just a moment, not for long.”

“Oke.”

In front there appears a large gate inscribed with the name of the restaurant that Dio wants to go to. Soon he pointed his car into the parking lot of the restaurant.

“You want to wait in the car or come down?” dio asked after tidying up his car parking position.

“I wait in the car aja.“

Lusi is still busy with a cell phone in his grasp. He stretched his body for a moment to straighten the back that feels tired.

Suddenly he saw the sight before him. Three people he knew very well came out of the restaurant.

It appeared that Amanda wrapped her hands affectionately on Ferdian's arm. While Cantika walked in front of the two towards the parking lot.

Lusi's heart was burning to see Amanda who was attached to Ferdian and there seemed to be no rejection from the man.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to calm his now troubled heart.

“Don't be jealous, Lusi. Don't be jealous,” murmured to himself.

Along with that, Dio returned to the car with two white plastic wrap. Then put it on the back bench.

Accidentally Dio saw flashes in both of Lusi's clear eyeballs. And he guessed there must be something uncomfortable for the girl.

“Why are you, Lusi?” ask Dio suspiciously.

“Eh, hmm? Wh why? It's not okay. Why me?” Lusi nervously tried to hide her anger.

Suddenly Dio turned his eyes towards the front. Ferdian and Amanda were still standing at the car door talking.

Sometimes Amanda seems to touch Ferdian's shoulder. Dio turned his head again to Luci who was also looking at them with a cold gaze.

“That's it, right your husband?” dio asked cautiously afraid of offending Luci.

Lusi nodded. “Suami contract,” says Lusi Ketus. Dio's face turned concerned looking at Luci.

Dio touched the back of Lusi's hand and rubbed it slowly.

“Sabar yes, Lusi," said Dio Iirih. She knew Susi was holding back the emotion of seeing her husband with another woman.

Dio started the engine of his car and then slid out of the restaurant and joined the highway that had begun to creep.

After an hour's drive, Lusi got out of the car that Dio parked a little away from the gate of Ferdian's house.

When entering his yard, it looks like Ferdian's car is parked neatly in the garage.

“Mas Ferdian just arrived, Sir?” asked Susi to Mr. Dirman who stepped beside her.

“Iya Non, just now. With Non Cantika and Non...” Mr. Dirman's words stopped, he nervously glanced at Lusi because he felt bad to continue his sentence.

“Amanda. Her ex-fiance Mas Ferdian.” Susi who continued in a soft voice. Mr. Dirman just nodded faintly.

Lusi smiled at Mr. Dirman as if to show that he was fine and not affected at all by the presence of Amanda figure in the house.

His feet went into the house. And it looks like Amanda with Cantika was talking in the family room. It's exciting like that. Sometimes they let out laughter. But it didn't look like Ferdian was there.

“Hai, Lusi. You've gone home?” Sapa Cantika immediately saw Lusi enter and approach.

“Iya, just now,“ replied Lusi politely and kindly. He glanced at Amanda who was staring cynically at him, as if about to pounce on him.

“Oiya, Susi. Can I ask you something?” tanya Cantika approached Lusi.

“Iya? What's up?”

“You come home every day from college to pick up Brother Ferdian?”

“Iya, because Mas Ferdian's office is near the campus so leave and go home together,” replied Lusi honestly.

“Hmm, that's it. No office driver to pick you up?”

Lusi frowned not understanding the meaning of Cantika. Lusi only shook his head briefly.

“One time my brother has to pick you up every day. The working time is not effective, Luci. How can he concentrate with his work if every hour two noon must hunt your pick-up time.” Cantika's words were very uncomfortable to hear. Makes Lusi's ears feel thickened and heated.

“You can't go home by yourself? Take an online taxi or public transport for example?” continued Cantika by putting on his cynical face.

“Can," replied Lusi short and flat.  His emotions were almost unbearable.

“Excuse me, I'll go to the room first.” Lusi rushes to leave Cantika who still seems to want to launch spicy words for her.

Luci opened the room door. Ferdian was sitting in his work chair facing his laptop.

“You're late, Lusi.” Ferdian turned to face Lusi behind him who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

“Macet,” Reply Luci briefly.

Ferdian felt that there was something strange about Lusi's sudden cynical and determined attitude towards him. He approached Luci and nodded beside him.

“Why you? How is judes?” tanya Ferdian looked at Lusi's face deeply.

“From tomorrow I don't want to be picked up, Mas. I'm more comfortable going home alone with an online taxi,” break up Susi seriously.

“Loh? How come? I don't agree. You remember the people of Bramanto and your stepmother are still looking for you.“ Ferdian moved up, then folded his arms in front of his chest against Luci.

“Yes, but I don't want Mas's job to be distracted just because I picked up.”

“Who is distracted? Absolutely not tuh.”

“Just from tomorrow I don't want to be picked up again.“ Lusi's voice tone began to rise.

“Gok can. Do not be stubborn,“ reply Ferdian with a tone of voice no less high.

“Mas..” Lucia wants to protest.

“Ooohh, what do you do so that you can go home with your friend who once drove you home at night?” Ferdian looked at Lusi suspiciously.

“Iiishh, what the hell is Mas?” Lucia got up to leave. Spontaneous Ferdian clutched his hand.

“Let's say, don't dodge that,” urges Ferdian to look hard at him, demanding an honest answer from his girl.

“Now!“ peekik Lusi tried to release the grip of Ferdian's hand on his arm.

“You want to try cheating huh?”

Luci stared intently at Ferdian's eyes.

This burrowing burrow is his name. Who was holding hands with an ex-fiance? Cooperate with a spoiled laugh at the restaurant parking lot?

He wants to write all those words. But he felt it was unnecessary. Because he also did not want to show the jealousy that had been hunting.

“Udah ah, want to take a shower. Excuse me.” Luci pushed Ferdian's chest away as Ferdian's grip loosened.

Immediately she ran into the bathroom leaving Ferdian who was still staring annoyedly at her.
