Marrying for a Bet
Red Spotted
Since yesterday's incident, Naufal has kept his employees engaged for one day. He wanted to rest his already dizzy head. Even overnight, when Naufal had fallen asleep, Vanka was relentlessly massaging the man's head.
Left behind by his father, mother, and assistant, Naufal now takes care of the company himself. Actually Vanka wants to help, but he's not as smart as the guy. Vanka was afraid that if he helped, that there was more trouble for the man.
Vanka got out of her sleep, then smacked her hair. He came out of the room and saw that the workers at home were already busy with their respective duties. Vanka approached mbok Ten who was cooking in the kitchen. Mbok Ten also has long taken care of the Nugraha family, since Naufal was five years old.
“ Again cook what mom? ”
“ Oh madam has woken up.”
Vanka scratched his nape. To be honest, she was still not used to being called a mistress.
“ Call the name aja bu, do not mistress everything,” said Vanka while chuckling.
“ Uh can't. Wherever you stay mistress here.”
“ Yes it's up to mom. By the way, can I help you not bu?”
Mbok Ten shook his head slowly and pushed Vanka gently.
“ You are in the room. Pity it sir must be many more thoughts.”
Vanka shifted the dining chair and sat down near the mbok Ten. The woman also nodded sluggishly. He also had pity on Naufal.
“ Yes ma'am, last night Naufal also kept silent. What if there's a problem she's always like that mom? ”
“ The master is mediocre anyway. Neither cute nor cheerful. If there's something that makes him happy, he'll be happy. And vice versa. But if it is sad again, it is silent. I've only been questioned a week because I used to accidentally throw the cars.”
Vanka chuckles amusedly. Naufal as a child is funny too. But then Vanka just remembered something. If mbok Ten has long served the Nugraha family, surely at least he knows the ins and outs of this house?
“ Hmm.. Mom, can I not? ”
Mbok Ten. “ Can, what do you want? ”
“ But promise yes do not get angry,” said Vanka while pointing his pinky finger.
“ It's like an SD kid. Weslah I promise not to be angry,” Mbok Ten reply Vanka finger link.
“ I know not, about the basement in this house? ”
That question left Mbok Ten speechless for quite a while. Vanka frowned when he saw the middle-aged woman who turned her cooking to the plate and ignored Vanka.
“ Bu? ”
Mbok Ten awakens from his daydream. Because actually he was daydreaming like something thought.
“ Uh yes. Basement yes.” Mbok Ten turned and faced Vanka.
“ I do know there is a basement here. But I have absolutely no idea what's in it. Maybe warehouse times, because I've seen the mistress Emily out of there while carrying the box it.”
Vanka nodded in understanding. Right too, it might just be a warehouse. Because he's never seen a barn in this house. Want the house shape however definitely still have a warehouse, right?
“ Good ma'am, if that's my excuse me first.”
But when Vanka was about to get up from his seat, Mbok Ten held the woman's arm while looking into her eyes.
“ Please do not tell others about it.”
Vanka was telephoned by Widya, her friend who was Algar's lover, to accompany her shopping. Actually Vanka did not want to, but he was also bored if he was at home because there was nothing to do. Naufal can not be bothered because he looks busy with his laptop.
Even a house cannot. Ah, Vanka so misses the moments of living in her brother's house. The morning before leaving school or college he had already swept the house or washed the dishes. But how else, if Vanka set foot there who was even expelled.
“ Van? ” Widya waves her hand in front of the woman's face.
“ Uh? Sorry, ” said Vanka while patting his cheek.
“ Don't daydream, we're again on the escalator. If you're not funny.”
Vanka chuckled softly then they continued their steps to get out of the shopping center immediately. Vanka carrying a small plastic in which there is only a face wash and moisturizer. Widya carried four paper bags.
“ Why not all the malls that you buy Wid? ” syndicated Vanka.
“ The plan is that. But not yet given Algar.”
They both chuckled at Widya's original answer.
“ Eh but you are evil yes Van, same marriage brother Naufal did not say I.”
“ Yes sorry. Naufal told me not to tell anyone. But you finally know also from brother Algar.”
“ Hm yes, just not good if not from you directly.”
Vanka annoyed his friend who looks upset with the way poking Widya cheeks. But at that time also bead eyes Vanka accidentally caught a man who just came out of the drugstore while wearing a black hoodie that is very familiar. But the man's face was not visible because it was covered by the hoodie's head covering.
“ Uh? ”
“ Kena—”
Widya's words stopped because the woman had already run to approach someone. Widya sighed harshly and then followed her friend.
“ Bian? ”
Vanka immediately held the arm of the person he saw earlier. The man turned his head and his eyes were rounded when he saw Vanka.
“ Vanka? How come you're here? ”
Just like Bian, Vanka was also very surprised when he saw Bian. Vanka could not stop opening her eyes when she saw Bian's face with bruises.
“ Your face..” said the woman was soft and her hands stretched out to hold the man's face.
“ Nothing Van,” replied Bian and then lowered Vanka's hand from his cheek.
“ Van-oh my brother Bian! You why? ”
Widya who was standing next to Vanka was surprised to see Bian's face. The man smiled at Widya, then looked at her watch.
“ I'm back first yes, you guys be careful also on the road,” said Bian then soon passed.
Vanka was still silent looking at the man's back. He can tell the guy is Bian from the hoodie he's wearing. Even Vanka also has a hoodie but white. However, Vanka accidentally saw there was a little red spot on the end of the clothes.
Bian why are you?
SERIATE.
