Love and Marriage Contract

Daffa Speech

Daffa was speechless to hear what Bianca had told him about Arga's departure out of town. As a friend and partner of Arga, Daffa knows for sure if Arga does not go out of town let alone for 3 days.

"What is Daffa? didn't Arga tell you he was out of town?" bianca asked, awakening Daffa's daydream.

"Aahh yes, I forgot that he was out of town" Daffa said.

"Then I leave first, there is work I still have to finish" Daffa said goodbye and left Bianca and Lola

Bianca then invites Lola into the house, as they usually chat in Bianca's room.

"Did Arga really go out of Bianca?" ask Lola to Bianca.

"It's been 3 days that he didn't come home" replied Bianca.

"Something seems strange" said Lola.

"Why?" ask Bianca.

"Didn't you notice Daffa's response after you said Arga was out of town? he seemed surprised and did not know it, even though Daffa worked directly brought Arga so it is impossible if Daffa did not know it," explained Lola.

Bianca was silent for a while, in fact she also thought the same thing as Lola but Bianca tried to stay positive and did not want to think too much about it.

"It looks like Arga is lying to you" said Lola, who made Bianca immediately take her eyes on Lola.

"Maybe Daffa really forgot, not just because you think Arga lied to me" Bianca replied.

"It wasn't just Daffa's response that shocked Bianca, but Daffa also said something to me that made me believe that Arga was indeed lying to you!" said Lola.

"What did Daffa say to you?" ask Bianca.

"When I was on my way here, Daffa told me that Arga had always come home sooner than usual, which meant that Arga was not outside Bianca, which meant that Arga had lied to you," lola answered explaining.

"Is it really like that? did Arga lie to me?" bianca asked in her heart.

"Now quickly contact Arga and ask where he is, he may not be out of town because since a few days ago Arga still left for the office even faster," lola told Bianca.

"No need, I don't want to know what he's doing out there anyway" Bianca replied.

"But he's been lying to you Bianca, at least he has to explain what he's been doing out there for these 3 days and why he's lying to you, at least he's got to explain what he's been doing out there for the past 3 days and why he's lying to you, there must be something he's hiding from you Bianca!" said Lola.

"I don't care what he's doing out there, Lola, did you forget that my marriage to Arga wasn't a real marriage? we are indeed husband and wife who are legal in the eyes of law and religion but we are not husband and wife who love each other" said Bianca.

Instantly Lola was silent to Bianca's words. For a while Lola forgot about the actual marriage of Bianca and Arga.

"Me and Arga are husband and wife, we live under one roof, but we live each other's lives until our marriage contract is over, you have to remember it's Lola!" Bianca.

"But why did Arga lie to you? maybe she has someone else out there?" ask Lola.

"I don't know and I don't want to know" replied Bianca and took her snowman doll and hugged her.

Lola let out a long sigh and laid herself on Bianca's bed.

"Arga is indeed full of mystery, we don't even know what exactly is the reason Arga married you, is it true just because he avoided his match with Clara or something else that everyone doesn't know," said Lola.

"Lola don't talk about it anymore, I don't even care about it" Bianca replied.

Lola nodded her head slowly and pulled Bianca's hand to lie down next to her.

"Good then, you really don't have to care much about it, he is very good but not good enough to be a life partner so it is better if you do not have to think too much about it so that you do not get hurt later" said Lola.

Bianca just smiled by nodding her head slowly without saying anything.

In her heart actually Bianca thought of everything Lola told her.

Why would Arga lie to her? what exactly is Arga doing out there? and what secret Arga hid from everyone, even Daffa as his best friend, did not know.

But Bianca is aware of her position in Arga's life, their relationship is no more limited to marriage on a contract they have agreed.

Elsewhere, after Daffa left Bianca and Lola, Daffa stopped his car on the side of the road and immediately contacted Arga.

Daffa tried several times to contact Arga but never answered.

"Where are you Arga? why did you lie to Bianca?" ask Daffa while continuing to try to contact Arga until finally his call was received by Arga.

"Hello Daffa, what's wrong?" asked Arga after he received the Daffa call.

"Where are you now? there's something I need to talk to you about" Daffa replied.

"I'm at home, we're talking tomorrow at the office, I'm busy right now" Arga said.

"But I have to meet you now Arga, I'll see you right now" Daffa said.

"Better we meet outside the house, I'll....."

"Why?" tanya Daffa cut off Arga's speech.

"Why? whatchu mean?" ask Arga not understand.

"Why don't you let me go to your house? are you afraid if I find out about your lies?" reply Daffa asked which made Arga so surprised.

"Have you just come from my house?" ask Arga.

"I just wanted to meet you to talk about work but Bianca told me that you went out of town 3 days ago" Daffa replied.

Silence, there was not a word that Arga said to Daffa because indeed the lie was already known by Daffa.

"Tell me Arga, where are you now!" daffa.

"I will explain everything to you tomorrow, but please for now don't say anything to Bianca" Arga replied.

"Are you with Karina?" ask Daffa guess.

"But....."

Tuuuutttt tuuuutttt

Arga ended his call just like that, making Daffa even more annoyed at Arga.

"Why are you so stupid Arga? why did you leave a diamond like Bianca for the help of a river as worthless as Karina!" daffa said he was upset and drove back to his car.

**

The day had changed, as usual Arga left for the office from Karina's residence after she prepared breakfast for Karina and changed the bandages that were on Karina's head.

Arriving at the office, Arga let out a long sigh as he looked at Daffa who was already standing in front of the lobby, knowing that Daffa had been waiting for him that morning.

"Argha....."

"Don't be here" said Arga cutting off Daffa's speech.

Judging from the look on his face, it was obvious how Daffa looked so upset that morning. Arga understands Daffa's frustration is that Daffa knew that he had lied to Bianca about his departure out of town.

Arga did not want a commotion that could provoke the attention of all who were there, that's why Arga asked Daffa not to talk about anything while they were in the lobby.

They walked up the elevator, arriving on the 7th floor Arga took his steps into his room, but before Arga opened the door of his room Daffa had already pulled Arga's shoulders violently.

"Explain everything to me now!" daffa said to Arga.

"Come in!" reply Arga then opened the door of his room and then brought his steps sitting in his chair.

Arga took a deep breath and exhaled slowly before telling Daffa the truth.

"You're right, I was with Karina a few days ago" said Arga, who made Daffa inflamed.

"Are you crazy? you've married Arga, how can a man who already has a wife spend days with other women!" daffa is full of emotion.

"I still love Karina, don't you know how I got married to Bianca? can you call her my wife!" balas Arga's.

"Anyway you and Bianca are married and your marriage is legal and religious, regardless of whether you love each other or not but your marriage is sacred you can't play your marriage like this!" daffa.

"You're right, but marriage can't make me forget Karina at all, in fact I'm still expecting it and for these 2 years I'm going to try to get Karina back to me" Arga said.

"You're really crazy Arga, you've lied to Bianca, you've taken Bianca too far with your personal problems!" said Daffa who was disappointed with Arga's attitude.

"Karina is in need of me Daffa, no one can help her but me, so I have no choice but to do this, I hope you can understand and not tell Bianca about this," balas Arga's.

"Did you forget that Karina already has a fiance?" ask Daffa.

"Of course I remember, he is not a good man for Karina and he is currently out of town without knowing how Karina really is" Arga replied.

"Whatever your reason is you really make me very disappointed in you!" daffa.

"There is no need to overdo Daffa, let me live what has been my choice" Arga replied.

"You're so selfish Arga, don't you think about Bianca at all? I don't know what made you two make such a ridiculous deal but Bianca must have been tormented by all of this, he's just running what's your choice without him knowing what you're really planning!" daffa.

"Why do you defend Daffa so much? do you like it?" ask Arga.

Daffa gave a small smile by lowering his head before he answered Arga's question.

Seeing that Arga immediately moved from his seat, the look on his face now seemed stiffened.

Daffa then took his steps towards Arga, stood right in front of Arga's desk and brought his face closer to Arga.

"Bianca is beautiful, prettier than Lola may even be prettier than all the women I've ever been with, she's kind and very pleasant so how could a man who knew her not be in love with her," said Daffa with a smile as if mocking Arga.

"Dragon your words Daffa, don't provoke my emotions here!" reply Arga who immediately pulled the Daffa shirt collar towards him.

"Why are you mad at me? isn't she just a wife on a contract for you? don't you realize that your attitude is so excessive as a man who doesn't love him at all?" ask Daffa who makes Arga immediately release his hand from the collar of Daffa shirt.

Daffa only smiled faintly as he tidied up the collar of his shirt and tie. He could see how Arga was so angry at what he said.

"I know how you used to love Karina so much but is your heart still the same now? or are you chasing after Karina just to vent your ambition?" ask Daffa who made Arga immediately bring his gaze to Dafa.

"You know best about what's in your heart Arga, as your best friend I just hope you won't go wrong or you'll regret it for the rest of your life!" said Daffa then walked out of Arga's room.

Arga let out a rough sigh while loosening his tie that felt suffocating his neck.

Arga thought about what Daffa had said to her, about how Daffa praised Bianca and about the feelings she had in her true heart.

Arga also did not understand why he was so upset to hear what Daffa had to say about Bianca.

"I know what I did, all this for Karina's sake, even I did this stupid thing to bring Karina back to me, if I don't do this there won't be any Bianca in my life" Arga said with a rough sigh.

Time passed, but Arga could not concentrate on his work. Not thinking of Karina but thinking of Daffa's words about Bianca.

"Daffa really liked Bianca? but isn't he approaching Lola?" inner Arga asked in his heart that made him subconsciously type the name Bianca on the file he was working on.

"I know Daffa very well, he is very good at approaching women and what Daffa says about Bianca is true, anyone who is close to Bianca will easily fall in love with him," arga said in his heart.

"Aaargghhh what I think, Daffa can't possibly like Bianca, he can't possibly like his best friend's own wife" Arga said in a heart-felt statement.

Arga let out a long sigh and tried to focus on the computer screen in front of him and was shocked when he realized that so many Bianca names were written on his computer screen.

"Geez what I've done, aaarrghhh!" said Arga then immediately remove all results typingnya.

Arga let out a long sigh, trying to concentrate on his work even though in the end he just stared blankly at the computer screen before him without doing anything.

It was not that Arga was lazy but that he still could not get rid of what Daffa had told him about Bianca.

Unknowingly it had actually disturbed Arga's concentration and even made the emotions in his chest rumble.
