Men Guarantee

LeMin - 010

Vedra is sitting behind her desk. The man turned on the computer and was ready to start his work. Lately his work seems abandoned because of so many things that make his mind split.

Vedra started her work earlier than some of her co-workers. Some employees are still in a relaxed mode. There are employees who still eat breakfast, just chatting, there are even those who are still busy struggling with their respective social media.

"Ved!"

Vedra turned to look at the two women who were directly approaching the man's desk. They are Nita and Teti. Two famous women and known as the culprits of gossip in the company.

What do they want? The Vedra wonders.

"Ved, are you really getting married?" ask Nita.

Vedra was flabbergasted at the question from Nita.

"What a shocking news!" hatch Teti.

Vedra just put on her expressionless face, but the corner of her eyes glanced towards Verda. The woman seemed busy flipping through magazines while talking to a friend sitting next to her.

"Hmm, yes," said Vedra coldly.

Nita and Teti reviewed wry smiles. This man before them was indeed a man so cold and stiff. Really not the type of man who is fun to hang out with.

"Well, then we wait for your invitation! We really want to know what your future wife is like" Teti said.

Lest his wife also like him, nerdy and equally boring, inner Teti.

Wait, how did they all know I was getting married? Inner Vedra who immediately set his eyes on the woman who is currently struggling in front of her computer screen. The woman was seen opening a video streaming channel, watching the men dancing while singing.

That gossip guy! Inner Vedra.

Vedra immediately sent a message to the woman. They should speak four eyes.

...*****...

Coffee shop named Manja became the best-selling coffee shop invaded by visitors because of its strategic position, located in the office area.

Verda entered the coffee shop and immediately joined a man who was sitting in the corner of the room. The man sat still and looked straight at Verda.

"What talk do you want to talk about? Are you ready to compensate for the loss of my package?" ask Verda who feels no need to mince words anymore.

Verda watched the man before her who was currently staring at her with cold eyes from behind the square-shaped glasses perched on the man's nose.

"Verda, didn't I tell you to keep my marriage a secret?" ask Vedra.

Verda furrowed her brows, she looked at Vedra's face that looked so serious. Well, the man's face was indeed like that from there.

"Ved, do you know, there are two news that must be delivered immediately, namely happy news and sad news! Look how enthusiastic everyone is when they know you're getting married!" verda said casually.

Vedra breathed a heavy sigh. He looked at the face of the woman who was currently smiling without feeling sinful at all.

"Stay, I think you broke our deal!" said Vedra coldly.

"Vedra, I really didn't mean to break our deal! I'm just asking someone and making sure that anyone else knows other than me, you could be lying to avoid your responsibilities!" Verda defended herself.

Verda was still staring at the man who was currently putting on an unfathomable flat face.

"How many times must I tell you that I will be responsible for your lost package!" said Vedra.

"Yes, but what's the evidence? Until now you didn't even send me the voice note I asked for as proof that you'd be responsible!"  sergeant Verda.

"'People like you don't know how valuable the photos you throw away are! Photos of an idol since they were not yet known to eventually become a mega star! Even if you replace with money worth the loss I have to accept, not necessarily I can get a rare collection of photos of my idol!" verda expressed her annoyance at Vedra.

"When you stop working, you disappear somewhere, so how are you responsible for replacing all those rare photo collections? Do I need to ask the police for help to make you a target of the Search List of People aka DPO?" ask Verda.

Verda was completely unable to contain her anger at Vedra. The man really does not know how Verda struggles to get a collection of rare photos.

"I set aside most of my salary, willingly save on expenses, not even sightseeing even holidays, not to mention having to search and negotiate until both sides agree on each other! Do you know what? It took me almost a year to find and get rare photos of my idol!" verda Beber.

"Verda, all right, I'll take responsibility, I'll search and find the photos of your idol!" said Vedra.

"To be sure that I won't run anywhere, then marry me!"

Verda was flabbergasted to hear the words of a man who always and always put on an expressionless face.

"What did you say?" ask Verda.

Vedra was silent, the man still looked at Verda's face looking at her skeptically.

"You want me to marry you?" Verda asked back.

Vedra nodded giving her answer.

"Vedra, aren't you getting married? You will definitely marry your lover, but why did you ask me to marry you?" Verda again asked the man who was currently still acting cold.

"Verda, didn't you ask me, what can I guarantee to be responsible to you? I vouch for myself, that's the guarantee I can give you" Vedra replied diplomatically.

"Vedra, you're kidding me, right?! There are people who make marriage a guarantee! Haha, you're so weird!" Verda laughs.

"I am the man" Vedra answered briefly.

Verda rolled her eyeballs, still throwing a skeptical look at the man before her.

"Vedra, haven't you had a crush on me for a long time?" ask Verda.

Vedra was silent but her frown was already the answer the man gave implicitly.

"Verda, our marriage is a guarantee I can give you. Didn't I tell you that at this time I can't materially compensate for the loss" Vedra replied.

Verda turned left and right, observing their surroundings whether there were hidden cameras or office friends hiding.

"What are you doing?" ask Vedra.

"Ascertain whether this is not a prank content event" Verda replied.

"No, it's not a prank, I'm serious" Vedra said.

Verda sipped her green tea latte ice slowly.

"Verda, look, actually I actually currently do need a partner to get married before this marriage that I have prepared is forced to be canceled" said Vedra.

"What?! You're not getting married?!" verda's eyes and mouth were perfectly rounded.

Vedra did not reply, the man was even completely expressionless.

"Yes, and you've been so bragful to tell everyone that I'm getting married" Vedra said coldly.

"Tu-wait, you mean you want me to marry you so you don't get married?" ask Verda.

Vedra did not answer the question directly.

"If you're not willing to marry me, fine, no problem, I can find another woman who's willing to marry me. It's just that, after marrying another woman, I can't guarantee you anything" Vedra explained.

"Vedra, are you threatening me?!" ask Verda.

"I'm not threatening you, I'm trying to make a deal with you. It's the best deal for both of us" Vedra replied.

"Vedra, sure enough, you should marry the one you love and love you, the one who wants to live with you! Isn't the ideal wedding supposed to be like that?!" ask Verda.

"Yes, I know, ideally it is like that, it's just the situation and conditions that I have to face at the moment" Vedra replied.

"Verda, I won't force you, you have the right to refuse. But for me, right now only with marriage is the solution I can offer" continued Vedra.
