Married for Sale

MKD-episode 09's chat.

A month has passed, since that terrible day, Nova tried to ignore Ardan. But the shadow of that painful day kept on coming to his mind.

To Nova now, Ardan was nothing more than a terrifying monster. And since that day Ardan never spoke to her again, but that doesn't mean Ardan never touched her. If Nova asks just a little then Ardan will always give a bruise on his face.

Nova hates Ardan more than he hates his parents who until now have never asked for news. Even Nova's marriage age has been 3 months but her Father and Mother did not ask anything.

But Nova did not care about it, no matter how the attitude of his parents he did not care anymore, even though later he got bad news about his Father and Mother, it was not Nova's business anymore.

The most important thing now is that Nova's work is going well. He already has enough money to open a business. And not only that Nova is now a model at Inst@gram, she often gets offers to promote a product.

"Nova what are you doing ?" nova's daydream came to a halt when she heard Alan's voice entering her room.

"What's up, sir ?" ask Nova who did not focus on Alan's words earlier.

"You why is this ? from that daydreaming continues ? are you still thinking about that monster-like man ?"

Alan indeed now knows how Ardan's attitude so far. Starting from that terrible day, Nova did not go to work for four days making Alan visit her.

Nova couldn't help but tell Alan. Especially when he needs someone to lean on. Alan's presence makes his life more colorful, the man gives his shoulder to where Nova cries.

From there Nova began to tell about his life, how he was sold by his parents and how Ardan's attitude so far. Alan was so emotional, he wanted to teach Ardan a lesson but Nova immediately held him back.

"I'm not thinking about that sir, I'm just thinking about how to borrow money from the bank to help me open a business" Nova explained lying, she did not want Alan to really beat up Ardan.

"Don't think about it Nov ! I told you I'd be your biggest investor" Alan said later.

"I don't want you to spend any more money on me, you've been helping me a lot"

Alan took a deep breath, he had often offered to help Nova in financial terms, but Nova always refused.

"Yes it's up to you, but later if you need my help don't hesitate to say it"

Nova laughed and nodded his head, so grateful to have met Alan.

"Now forget about this matter first!, now tell me how is your lover ?" nova asked as she raised her eyebrows.

Alan's face immediately changed when he heard Nova's words, he took a deep breath and replied "It turns out she's not a good woman, she's just after my treasure"

"You know she's not a good woman, so why don't you want to end your relationship ?"

Alan chuckles at Nova's words, isn't their story the same. Nova knows that Ardan isn't a good man but why she won't let go.

"Then what about you?, you already know that Ardan is not a good man, but why do you not want to let go of him and end your marriage ?"

Alan's question made Nova lose in a landslide, his story with Ardan was of course different. He sold both of his parents to Ardan, and it would not be easy for Ardan to release himself.

If only he could, Nova had wanted to leave a long time ago, but it was not as easy as turning the palm of the hand.

"Emm, what do you think if I'm going to launch a Lip crem product" Nova said to divert the subject.

"But I'm still afraid to do this"

"Don't be afraid I'll always help you, I'm sure you can"

"Thank you for always being there for me" Nova said with a smile. If there's no Alan, I don't know what he's going to be now. It is possible that every day he will receive torment for the torment of Ardan.

Alan nodded in response, he already considered Nova as his own sister, when he heard the Nova story at that time, making Alan feel sorry for Nova's life. If not blocked by Nova, he would have beaten Ardan to satisfaction.

According to Alan, men like Ardan do not deserve women as beautiful and as good as Nova. The woman was too precious to shed tears every day.

Nova had just returned home in the afternoon.

"It's over" said the taxi driver.

Nova closed his eyes for a moment, every time he saw Ardan's house, the shadow of that terrible day kept on flashed in his memories. The shadow of Ardan's torment makes him reluctant to get out of the car.

The events of that day always haunt Nova, a drop of tears back down her smooth cheeks, All this time Nova just pretended to be strong in front of everyone, and when alone only crying becomes his tranquilizer.

"Mom" the driver called back, making Nova immediately wipe away her tears.

"Here's the fare" Nova gave me a red note and got out of the car.

Nova knew that her husband had gone home, because he saw Ardan's car parked in the garage. Back the fear spread made his legs feel weak to enter the mansion.

"I must be strong, hopefully Mas Ardan has slept like yesterday" Inner Nova.

He entered the house, and went straight to his room. He hopes Ardan will not know his return, but luck is not on his side because now the man is standing behind him.

"Come here !" pinta Ardan firmly.

Nova turned her body, she stared at Ardan's face without even getting out of place, and it made Ardan angry.

"I said come here" cried Ardan echoed, then walked quickly to Nova.

Nova was already used to the man's scream, what else did Ardan want to do ?. Slapping?, or torturing Nova, all of that has been Ardan's habit all along.

"Listen to me lady j@lang, my father will be here soon and I want you to behave like a good wife, who he's always wanted" clearly Ardan while emphasizing every sentence he said.

"Keep ?" ask Nova plain.

"How dare you ask like that ? basic pel@cur"
