Marrying for a Bet

Weddings

White colored kebaya with brocade flowers wrapped beautifully on the slender body of Vanka. A cosmetologist also still rubs her makeup tools on the woman's face. Vanka can't stop looking at herself in the mirror. He had no idea if it was his happy day or not.

To be honest, the woman is not ready to get married. Vanka is 21 years old and she is still in college. Vanka strongly condemned Naufal who was careless in acting. Until now, Vanka could not forget the fatal incident a few days ago.

But on the one hand it is good to also marry an established man like Naufal. Vanka did not bother his brother's family anymore because he continued to finance his life. But Vanka also felt like there was something odd about this marriage.

The woman was still thinking about one thing, whether Naufal had intentionally done that or not. Because yesterday when Naufal hugged him in the room of a bar, he accidentally saw an injection on the nightstand. But Vanka did not want to think about it.

“ Is done,” said the cosmetologist.

“ Thank you.”

Vanka looked at her reflection in the mirror. But he did not want to linger because he was a little disgusted to see his already dirty self. And after that Vanka decided to get out of his room, more precisely the woman's room with Naufal.

The woman's eye bead widened when she saw Bima's brother, and Sarah's sister-in-law, already sitting in the living room to be a witness to her second marriage. Actually Bima did not want to come, but his wife kept telling him to come, and inevitably he could only obey.

Even so, Vanka remains grateful if his brother still has a little care. The woman smiled and sat down beside Naufal. Until shortly after saying the sentence of marriage contract, now Vanka and Naufal have officially become a couple.

After everything was done, Vanka sat himself on the bed.

While Naufal immediately opened the black suit and changed his clothes with a shirt. But when the man wanted to open his black pants to replace them with jeans, Vanka immediately shifted his face.

Well it is true if they are now officially a married couple, but still Vanka is not used to it.

Naufal immediately took the keys to his car, but when he wanted to open the door, Vanka's voice stopped his steps.

“ Where are you going? ”

“ Campus,” replied Naufal without averted his eyes.

Vanka just nodded. Maybe Naufal wants to finish his business with the lecturer thought the woman.

“ I told Silvi that now you are not in. So just stay here and do not get out of the house,” said Naufal firmly.

“ Oh one more thing," he continued.

Vanka. “ What? ”

“ Don't get into the basement.”

….

Bian stepped foot in the campus corridor while carrying his backpack. Now the man looks like an ordinary student now, not a young director.

But when he walked, he accidentally saw the Algar standing under a tree with someone who knew who it was. His face was not clearly visible because it was covered by the Algar shadow.

“ Oy, see who? ”

Bian jerking. He looked at Naufal who was already holding his shoulder.

“ Algar, but do not know who he is.”

Naufal also followed the direction of the man's gaze. And it's true that the Algar was there with a foreign man. But after that, Naufal sighed softly.

“ You were sought after by a lecturer, told to hand over the revisian now.”

Bian's speech was stopped because his bead accidentally caught a ring coiled on Naufal's ring finger.

“ Tumben wear ring? ” asked Bian while frowning.

Naufal was a little surprised to hear the question. He forgot to open his ring when he got to campus. Well, if it's heard so soon, how else, Naufal was forced to tell Bian.

“ My wedding ring is with Vanka.”

Bian's eye beads are perfectly rounded. The man looked at Naufal who seemed to be underestimating him.

“ Not possible,” replied Bian slowly.

Naufal shook his shoulders. “ It's up if you don't want to believe. The point is soon Nugraha will rise.”

….

The loud sound of alarm from Vanka's black phone woke the woman up. Slowly he opened his eyes and looked around. He also checked the clock on his phone and it was late afternoon.

“ Not home yet,” monologue Vanka. Soon she got out of bed and smacked her hair.

“ Mumpung not home yet, what if I cook dinner? ”

Vanka walked into the kitchen and looked around. The household assistants were already at home considering it was late afternoon. If there was Emily back then, they'd all stayed here, but since Emily died, they'd all decided to go straight home when they were done.

“ Why if alone it feels horrified also yes.”

Vanka rubbed his arm and tried to divert his bad thoughts. He walked up to the table and opened the food hood to see what food was there.

His beads instantly sparkled when he saw the many fried chicken flour and also other seafood located on the table. Vanka sat on the chair and ate the fried shrimp located there.

But when the third bribe, Vanka remembered Naufal's words this morning.

“ Do not enter the basement.”

The basement? Exist any? Isn't the basement a car garage? Vanka was so curious that the woman's legs moved to step into the basement in question.

“ Dark too.”

Vanka cursed himself who forgot to bring a cell phone. Even so, Vanka remained determined to continue his steps because there was still one light that lit at the end of the room even though the lights were dim.

“ Miris very rich people but can not buy lights,” Vanka shook his head while continuing to walk.

Before long, his foot accidentally stepped on something. Maybe like iron. Vanka lowered her head. And sure enough, he stepped on a square-shaped iron on which there was a small handle.

Vanka snapped his fingers. Perhaps this is the basement Naufal referred to.

The woman immediately sat down to make sure clearly whether it was true or not. But when the hand had just touched the handle, he saw the tip of someone's shoe right in front of his face. Vanka gulped his saliva and looked up slowly.

“ Naufal.”
