ILLUSIANA (CONTRACT MARRIAGE)

CHAPTER 41

The whitewashed house with neatly arranged trees looked deserted.

Johan bows his head into the low-sized fence. The bell was locked several times. No one came out of that house either. Press it again repeatedly.

Suddenly a red sedan stopped right in front of the fence. Johan. The car glass is opened. Merry took off her sunglasses and watched Johan closely.

“Who to look for?” asked Merry from his car.

“Ehmm, sorry. Is this really Hamzah's bang house?” ask Johan politely.

“Bang Hamzah?” Ms. Merry asked back to confirm her hearing.

“Iya, Hamzah Suhendra.“

In his eyes the figure of Johan from top to bottom. Johan who was wearing a gray suit complete with his black tie with his hair misty and thin whiskers running across his lips caught the attention of Bu Merry. He got out of his car to approach Johan.

“Betul, this is Mr. Hamzah's house. Is this the case Mr Hamzah?” ask Merry Ma.

“Oh, yes. Meet me Johan. Cousin brother Mr. Hamzah.” Johan extended his hand. Merry shook his hand. His eyes can not be seen the figure perlente Johan.

“I Merry. Mr. Hamzah's Wife.” Ms. Merry's Law.

“Ohh, sister-in-law. Sorry.“ Johan cupped his palm and bowed respectfully.

“I don't think I ever knew my husband had a brother named Johan.” The lyrics of Bu Merry are suspicious.

“Oohh, indeed I have not lived in Indonesia for a long time. It's been 15 years that I live in Canada" Johan replied straightforwardly. Her smile attracted the attention of Merry.

Ms. Merry squinted her eyes thinking something. Brow wrinkled.

“Oooohh, this is Mr. Hamzah's cousin who lives in Canada. Yes...Yes..Yes...I just remember Mr. Hamzah once told me that his only closest brother lives abroad.” Exclaimed Bu Merry pleased. Johan nodded with great authority.

“Come in first. That's his car?“ point Bu Merry at the latest silver BMW parked next to the gate. Johan nodded again with a sweet smile.

Waahhhh his car is very cool, must be this rich man, the soul of matre Bu Merry thrashing.

“Ayo please sit down, Mas Johan.” Merry's mom invited Johan.

The perlente man sat right in front of Merry.

“What do you drink?”

“No need, Brother. I had a drink earlier at the home of friends.” Johan politely refused.

Merry nodded. His face looked radiantly at Johan.

“Bang Hamzah approximately return home at what time from the office, Kak?” johan asked, glancing at her watch.

Spontaneous Bu Merry put on a sad face. His eyes seemed to be teary-eyed withstanding tears.

Johan was confused to see the suddenly sad face of Bu Merry.

“Mas Johan does not know Mr Hamzah is dead?” Bu Merry's voice was full of sadness.

“What Brother mean?”

“Pak Hamzah passed away about four months ago. Huuu..Huu...Huuuu.!” The cry of Merry broke. His shoulders swayed up and down holding his sobs.

Johan was dumbfounded to believe what Ms. Merry said.

“Innalillahi wa inna Illaihi Rojiun,” said Johan Lirih then looked down at the floor.

“My husband has been sickly for a long time, Mas Johan. Since my late sick it was I who took over his responsibilities as head of the family to make a living.“

Johan looked at Bu Merry's face with deep pity.

“Then where's my nephew, Brother? I want to see him,” asked Johan later.

Ms. Merry flinched at Johan's request. His face was pale and suddenly nervous.

“Ehmm, the, Mas. Anu's... Susi ya?“ Merry was confused looking for answers.

“Iya, Susi. The only daughter of Bang Hamzah. I want to meet.”

“Ehmm, Ehh...Oohh yeah, he's out of town. Work in Kalimantan,” replied Bu Merry lying.

Johan looked at the face of Bu Merry who looked increasingly nervous and pale.

“Ohh, what a pity. Now only Lusi is the only family I have, Sis. “ said Johan Lirih while looking down to hold back his tears.

“Ooohhh, don't say that. I am the wife of the late Mr. Hamzah, meaning I am the family of Mas Johan as well.” Persuade Bu Merry gently. He touches Johan's arm to attract the man. Johan looked at his arm. Merry pulled his hand back.

“I had plans to bring Susi to live with me in Canada. I happen to have a couple of restaurants there.  I want Lusi to help me take care of my business. Because I was troubled also took care of myself,” said Johan confidently.

Bu Merry's eyes immediately widened to hear it.

Whoaahh restaurant entrepreneurs in Canada, really this tajir people. Bu Merry's heart cheered cheerfully.

Johan smiled shyly. He glanced at Bu Merry at a glance.

“I'm not married, Brother. Singles Istiqomah.” replied Johan smiling shyly.

Mom Merry's eyeballs sparkled. His face immediately shone.

“Ah, time? Johan is handsome, when no one wants to?" Mayu Bu Merry accompanied by the flickering of his left eye.

“Someone wants Kak, but bule. I happen to be not very interested in girls. I prefer Indonesian women, sweeter," said Johan did not want to lose twisting his right eye.

“Ooh so. How old is Johan now? “

“It's old, sis. 45 years,” replied Johan shyly.

“Waaah, means we're the same age as dong!" Cheers Bu Merry girly. Johan was still smiling embarrassedly.

He glanced at his watch which seemed to be very expensive.

“It's afternoon, Brother. I say thank you first,” said Johan while standing from his seat and tidying up his suit.

“Oiya, Mas Johan do not hesitate to play around here again yes. We are family. Must visit each other.”

“Betul Kak, surely I play again here. Or Brother Merry can also visit my apartment.”

“Ohya? Can I have the address? Who knows if I can stop by.”

“How many mobile numbers Kak Merry. I sent via WA his address.”

“Oh this, Mas. Please.” Merry hands her phone into Johan's hands. It appears that Johan typed in the phone number and full address of his apartment. Then hand the phone back to Merry's hands.

“Good. I'm pampering. Oiya, Kalo Lusi phone Kak Merry please send a message that I am looking for him and give me my phone number, Yes Kak.”

“OK, Mas Johan.“

Johan nodded respectfully to Merry before entering his luxury car. Merry replied politely.

Didn't expect Hamzah to have sodara tajir that way. Such a man is so new to my taste. Mumbled Merry in his heart. He smiles alone while staring at Johan's luxurious car that has been away until it is lost from his sight.

***

Johan parked his luxury car in the parking lot of a cafe. And rushed into it.

The atmosphere of the cafe is not so crowded, there are only a few tables filled with visitors. He looked around looking for someone. It turned out that the man was sitting at the very back table. Then he stepped quickly.

“Good afternoon, Boss,” greet Johan to Reynard who is casually sipping his coffee.

Reynard nodded faintly. With his palm giving the code allow Johan to sit across from his desk.

“How?“ ask Reynard seriously.

“Beches, Boss. According to Boss's orders, the bait I've stocked, soon the rat entered the trap.” Report Johan is firm and steady.

“Good. Anyway you should keep following my orders. And It's pocket money for today.“ Reynard shifts a thick brown envelope in front of Johan.

“Thank you, Boss.” Johan kissed the envelope with excitement and immediately put it in his pants pocket.

“Kalo so I'll excuse you first, Boss. My wife from earlier texted me, she again waited for me to pay for electricity and buy gas.“ Pamit Johan then stood up from his seat.

“OK, greetings to your wife and child yes. Say hello from a handsome guy,” said Reynard at will.

“Hehe...Ready Boss. Oyya. Here's the car key.” Johan handed the keys to the car he was wearing to Reynard. Then turn around and leave.

"Eeeehhhh, Johan.." call Reynard again. Johan stopped his movements and turned his head back towards Reynard.

"Yes, Boss?"

"My watch.." pinta Reynard pointed at his fantastic precious watch that was coiled around Johan's wrist.

Spontaneous Johan turned towards the watch hanging on his wrist and noticed it.

"Oh Yes, Sorry Boss.... Kirain Boss Reynard forgot. Hehehe.." chirped Johan with a shy plain face and smiled widely.

Immediately on his release slowly the expensive watch from his hand and handed it to the hands of Reynard who had been thrust in front of him.

"Have a son.." Reynard snatched the corner of his lips.

"Hehehe.... Excuse me, Boss.." said Johan, then turned his body and immediately drove away from Reynard.

Reynard deliberately dressed Johan by wearing luxury items hers with the aim of making Bu Merry impressed with the appearance of 'his man' and believe in all his jokes.

Reynard smiled with satisfaction. This is just the first step to trap the dzolim and greedy Bu Merry.

Patience Lusi, what is right for you will definitely come back to you.  Reynard said in his heart.
