Love is Noiseless

Chapter 12's

“Ke—deal, Sir?” Layla's body trembled just to let out her voice.

“Yes, this is only the two of us can know, besides that there is no, be it father and mother, as well as all your acquaintances.”

Layla gulped at Dinan's words. Now his mind was blank, only Bayu's face flashed there, the man he hoped could now come to his aid. But baby, it is impossible to happen, especially they also break.

Dinan raised his index finger with the other finger firmly clenched. “First! this marriage is just the two of us and my parents know. No one else can know, except Richard. She's my private secretary, and our apartment is next door, too, so she must know if we're married.” Dinan looked at Layla who was looking at him with fear.

Middle finger Dinan raised, “Second! you'll keep working here, I'll have to keep an eye on you so you don't betray me. Don't ever hook up with another man, or I'll kill you.”

Layla's body felt goosebumps, hearing the snide voice of Dinan full of intimidation say the word kill you.

Dinan's ring finger lifted. “Three! we will be husband and wife, but your status in my apartment is only a maid!” dinan's words made Layla gulp her saliva again, maid?

Dinan's little finger raised. “Four! We're married only until I have a child with you. After you give birth, the child becomes mine, we get divorced and you leave my life and this company, I will give you big money to go and live independently. I don't need women, just bother me,” Dinan said.

Dinan's thumb finger raised. “Fifth!”

“I disagree with number 4, Sir!” Layla voiced out, cutting out Dinan's sentence. Against all his fears and feelings for Dinan. “I won't give my son to anyone.”

Dinan smiled cynically. “Fifth! I have the right to determine everything, and you just have to obey without being able to argue. This deal could add up, according to the circumstances that will happen.” Dinan sipped his coffee again and then rolled up his shirt arm. Then he stood up to his desk.

“Then I refused all of these, all of those deals cost me. I also don't want to marry someone like you!” Layla spoke boldly, no matter who Dinan was even though she could have fired him with a snap of a finger.

Dinan stopped his steps, he turned around and turned to Layla with a smile to intimidate her. “You think I want to marry you, now meet dad and cancel this all.” It was Dinan's command that made Layla's body instantly freeze.

The orphanage has given a child who has no father and mother like himself to get a decent life. Can't she sacrifice a little for the home and her threatened sisters on the streets? Layla's heart is worried, between her selfish sense for life and her conscience that wants to save the orphanage.

“Ba—baik, Sir. I agree with ke—the deal, but please do not separate me with my son.” Pinta Layla pleaded.

“I just need a child, remember the fifth deal, you just need to comply. Now get out of my room. Today I give you permission to see Dad. So you can go home.” Dinan headed to his work chair and continued his work that had been delayed.

While Layla was biting her lips, she grimaced in disbelief with Dinan's words, why was Dinan so hearty for the number 4 deal.

“Father can find another woman to get a child, not me. I will not be sincere if I have to part with my own flesh and blood.”

Dinan hissed furiously, he looked at Layla with annoyance. “You only have 2 options, accept this deal or refuse. If you refuse, please meet father and cancel everything. If not, just go as I said earlier.”

Dinan's hand pointed at the exit, “Now out!” The command by pressing. Layla was speechless no more. He did not realize that he had fallen into the dispute of Dinan and Mr. Marc. Which ultimately put him in such a position. With a heavy heart, Layla stepped out of Dinan's room.

Getting permission not to work that day from Dinan, Layla chose to visit his successor again. He sat in the garden of the orphanage while watching the children of the orphanage playing. Some of them are still wearing school uniforms. Their faces were full of cheerfulness, laughing chuckles, until someone with a waistline rubbed the others.

Really Layla could not bear if the cheerful laughter of the children of the orphanage became a gloomy face that hung out on the streets.  Is there no other way to save the parlor? A better way without sacrificing his future. Layla who was sitting on the garden chair of the orphanage looked up, looking at the blue sky decorated with thin clouds. Bayu's face was seen smiling at him in that sky. If only He and Bayu were married, surely the strange problem would not befall him.

“Mas!  I love you.” Layla muttered alone.

Until there is a gentle rub on Layla's shoulder that surprises the girl. Layla looked at the owner of the hand. Ms. Irma was already sitting next to him and stroking her gently beautiful unraveling hair. Ms. Irma's eyes stared fixedly at Layla's face and took a look, assessing the state of her child's heart.

“You have a problem, La?” ask Ms. Irma.

“What this parlor can not be saved, Bu?” Layla asked back.

Ms. Irma shook her head, she turned her eyes to the children who were still playing. Her hand she took off from Layla's hair, and then she squeezed it in her lap. Feeling nervous he explained it to Layla.

“Mother has spoken to Social Services, La. Child protection agencies as well. But they can't help. This land already belongs to that company, and our foundation has been frozen. It's a cash parlour, too, La. No one else wants to donate and provide funds because this home is not registered anymore, except our regular donors.”

Ms. Irma turned back to Layla for a moment. “Mommy has resigned, I also know that you will not be able to meet Mr. Dinan and ask him to stop the plan. Some of the parlors were ready to accept them, but the children refused. They want to be together and not be separated. Mother is afraid, they will be expelled forcibly and have to live on the streets. 67 children are too difficult to find La residence, not to mention the cost of eating, snacks and their school needs,” explained Ms. Irma.

“They really don't care about the lives of orphans, Mom. They don't care about the lives of the children here,” said Layla.

“Not really, Mr. Marc cares about this home, just his power in the company is not big enough. Because the one who leads the company now is his son, not him,” said Ms. Irma.

Layla immediately raised her head again and turned to Ms. Irma in curiosity. “Master, Marc, Bu?”

“Iya. 2 days ago he came here. He said you asked him to consider evicting this parlor. Mr. Marc can't help much, because all the decisions are in Mr. Dinan's hands. Mr. Marc said, he can only talk to Mr. Dinan, with the best possibility that this home is not upset, and if evicted, then he can move to another place that the company will prepare.” Ms. Irma paused her sentence for a moment, she took a deep breath and let go.

“The worst possibility, the company will speed up the eviction process, can be faster than the 2 weeks Mr. Dinan gave. I'm done, La.” Mom Irma looked at Layla's teary eyes looking at her.

“You must be a good employee in the office, Mr. Marc yesterday to wonder about you, he is very curious about you, La. Keep it, yeah. I'm happy if there are children of this home who can go to college at their own expense and work in a good company like you. Moreover, you also set aside some of your salary for the school fees of your sisters, hopefully there will be from those who follow in your footsteps. Even though this home is not adalagi,” continued Ms. Irma.

Layla closed her eyes, she did not want the home evicted or at least given a new building if Marc property did want the land. By taking a deep breath, for the sake of her sisters in the orphanage, Layla chose to resign to her fate, if the road married to Dinan could save the orphanage, then she would do that. Moreover, Mr. Marc promised a large fund to help the children of the orphanage.

“Mother rest easy, this home will not be evicted, if it is evicted, it will definitely move to a better place.”

Layla lowered her head and leaned on Miss Irma's shoulder. He had already chosen that path, but in order to give a child to Dinan, he still thought twice. He did not want his son to live and be great without the affection of a mother, as he felt, nor would he allow another woman to be the mother of his child if Dinan remarried later
