Men Guarantee

LeMin - 012

The archive building and the city library that afternoon became a place that was not too crowded with visitors. Well, nowadays who would want to visit the library just to pass the time? Moreover, the more loyal millennial generation waste their time to hang out in cafes with free wifi, streets aka window shopping in shopping centers, or become a rebel who all day hiding in blankets.

Verda entered the library lobby, next to the entrance there is a locker area for goods that Verda just went through. His eyes immediately fell on a man who was currently filling a table in the corner of the lobby room with a laptop and a pile of thick books filling the table with papers containing complex mathematical calculations.

Verda immediately took out a chair and sat down in front of the man. His gaze was fixed on the pile of books whose title made Verda chuckle.

"Key successfully passed the CPNS test," ceplos Verda.

Vedra turned to hear Verda's leplosan. There was a scornful tone that made Vedra immediately end his study session. The man immediately tidied up the books then put them in his bag.

"Well, do you really want to be a PNS? Isn't PNS not everyone's dream job anymore? You seem to be living in the age of two decades ago," said Verda still with a satirical tone.

"In my home region, when a child escapes to become a PNS, who is proud not only of his parents, one village takes pride," Vedra responded to Verda's insinuation.

"Haha, my goodness, which village are you from? Are you from a village whose people live in caves and live primitively?" ceplos Verda again.

Vedra knitted his brows indicating that he disagreed with Verda's opinion of his village. Verda could see that the man seemed to be offended by Verda's thought.

"Sorry, yes, no offense, I'm just assuming," Verda chuckled.

"So, why would you meet on a weekend like this?" ask Vedra.

The man felt that the weekend that should be spent studying in the library was even confiscated because the woman in front of him suddenly invited him to meet. They meet again in the office tomorrow morning.

"Ved, in connection with your offer of marriage invitation, I think after thinking about it carefully, considering it really, I finally made a decision. I'm willing to marry you" Verda replied.

Vedra was silent, at this time his eyes were focused on looking at the woman who was looking like she was challenging him to fight Panco. Both of the women's hands were on the table.

Verda reviewed a wry smile looking at the man's flat expression. Did he not appreciate the big decisions in his life?

Why was the man just silent and not responding?

Is he playing me?

Inner Verda struggled as the man before her really did not change her flat expression.

"Oh, have you found a woman who's willing to marry you?" ask Verda.

"Currently, if you've found the woman you're going to marry, you should have told me earlier, so I don't have to think about and weigh up what's really a waste of my time!" Verda screeched, he began to grumble in annoyance.

Ugh, this guy is such a bitch, why is he even a statue like this anyway?! Verda really felt keki.

"Well, then forget it, just assume you never asked me to get married!" Verda immediately moved from her seat.

"Tu-wait, Verda," stop Vedra.

"I haven't even said anything yet, why did you suddenly decide like that? Not that I didn't respond to your answer, I was still too surprised that you were willing to marry me" Vedra said.

Verda again sat in her position, at this time the man before her still kept a flat expression that made Verda again feel keki.

"Yes, I am willing to marry you but of course with the terms and conditions that you must meet! That's why I invited you to meet to discuss this!" verda says.

"What are the terms and conditions you want to apply for?" ask Vedra.

"In general, I really want that this marriage is just a guarantee that you will be fully responsible for the material losses that I must experience of seventy million, he said, I'd be less pleased if you just gave me the money, you have to get all those rare photo cards, like when I painstakingly got all of them" Verda replied.

Vedra nodded slowly, barely even in sight.

"Yes, well, I understand," Vedra replied again.

"Then, our marriage is really just a guarantee. So, do not demand me to be a dream wife who fears her husband" said Verda.

"Hmm, yes, no problem" said Vedra.

"Then, I think one year is enough for you to fulfill my request, right?" ask Verda.

"One year?" vedra's eyebrows furrowed back.

Verda nodded quickly.

"If it's too long, it's feared you won't seriously look for all those photo card collections!" Verda conveyed his assumptions.

"Can't it be two years? It's not that, it's just that, with my current income, plus the amount of my accrual expenses, I need an extension of time," Vedra tried to negotiate.

"I did plan to resign after marriage, but I definitely need time to get another job," Vedra continued with a heavy sigh.

"You're how the hell? Have you planned to resign but have not found another job? Shouldn't you get another job and then you resign?!" tukas Verda's.

"Hmm, yes, I've started looking for it, but it's not that easy to get a new job with more income than my current job, some offer the same income but most are even below the income I receive now! So in essence right now all I can do is try to keep looking! Moreover, my current burden should increase even more, so yes, I should really get a job with more income!" veedra beber.

"Hmm, all right, two years!" verda.

Vedra nodded slowly, barely even in sight.

"Hmm, then what else?" Verda thought. "Ved, note! You should take note of it! Record all the points so that no one will be missed!"

"All right," said Vedra.

The man immediately reopened the bag and took out a sheet of paper and his stationery.

"That's the main points, besides, there are still other additional points that we have to agree on before we start this marriage" Verda said.

"Hmm, yes, I think that's a good thing" Vedra said as she continued to write.

"Yes, everything must be clear from the beginning so that in the future there are no things that complicate the position of the two of us" Verda asserted.

"Hmm, there should also be points where everything that concerns marriage can be negotiated, more precisely on flexibility issues" said Vedra.

The man's tone sounded thoughtful.

"What kind of flexibility do you mean?" ask Verda.

"Yes, our marriage is just a guarantee, but from the point of view of others, it certainly can not be like that, at least we must look like a married couple in general," replied Vedra.

"Oh, hmm, yes, I think you have a point" Verda said.

"All right," said Vedra. "The wedding will take place next week, so I hope you can prepare the documents for administrative needs."

"Oh, yeah, what about your parents? Should I come to propose to you?" ask Vedra.

"I don't think it's necessary, they won't mind if I remarry" Verda said.
