Yati woke up from her sleep in the morning. The clock in the room, just pointed at half-four in the morning. He woke up, dreaming and it was obvious. It looks real.
The dream that made her a mistreated wife, a thing that Yati had never imagined before.
"So whose wife? who was the man who beat me up?" ask Yati, about her dream.
Yati looks worried. He became hesitant to continue contract work, which he was just about to do tomorrow morning.
Work that would tie him to a marriage. A contract marriage with a man of American nationality. One of the customers of the restaurant, where Yati works.
He got the contract offer from Mr Akihiko, a week before Yati returned to Indonesia. And when Yati came home, then met and met with Mr. Johan, she felt no problem. Especially after reading the contract points, Yati agreed. Moreover, the value of the money he would receive at the beginning and end of the contract, the amount was huge.
Mr Akihiko often bridges contract marriages, which are common between restaurant customers and their own employees. He never forced, and chose rich and successful men, who would give material assurance to his employees. He will not plunge them into a contract marriage for which there is no agreement between the two.
Mr. Akihiko, keep choosing the 'best' men for his employees, because, they will still be customers as well, even though the employees are married to the men he chose.
Just like Marisa, who will still bring her 'husband' to the restaurant, if you want to eat outside.
Yati, so do not feel worried anymore, because it remembered with Marisa. Her senior brother, who had long since changed with her contract husband. And stay loyal to Mr. Akihiko, by working in his massage parlor.
But, now Yati was starting to hesitate. Especially with the dream he had. He felt that it was a sign that something would happen in this first 'marriage.
"What really happens next?" tanya Yati, who seemed to hesitate, if her dream this time was a sign of her life in the future, related to the dream she experienced.
"Ah, maybe I'm just tired and thinking. This is my first job like this. I'm sure I'm nervous too. Especially yesterday, many of his friends were talking strangely, about Mr. Johan. Hopefully nothing happens to me later. This is for my future as well and the people who are in the village. I just want Minah to be guaranteed his old age and not have to be tired of working in the fields."
As soon as Yati cheered herself up. He did not want to be burdened with the dream he had just experienced.
Finally, he decided to get out of bed. He went to take a bath early, to calm his heart and mind with a shower in the morning.
After the bath, Yati cooked an easy meal for her to eat in the morning. He also fried rice crackers, which he brought from the village, made in Minah.
Yati activated her cellphone that had just been removed, because last night she was cased. He noticed that there were several notifications of incoming messages and calls.
There were messages from some friends and also from her ex-boyfriend, who had broken up a few months after she left for Japan.
"Why did he call? no business either. How does he know I'm back in Indonesia?" ask Yati, to herself.
From the incoming messages, his friends only asked for news and his current position.
"The lazy is right back at him. Not very ashamed. He who decides for himself, cooks to ask back again. It's weird!" muttered Yati alone.
Finally, Yati did not reply to the message from her ex-lover. He only replied to messages from his other friends.
Yati does not want to repeat the story of his love with his ex-lover. An ex-lover, who can only ask for money and money on him and will be angry if not given money by Yati.
He does not want, if he has a lover who only uses himself. Without wanting to keep Yati safe if needed. The thing he really wants from his lover is the same as the lovers of his other friends.
So, their lover, who is as professional as Yati, doubles as a personal bodyguard.
And Yati finally no longer wants to have a lover. Better, she accepts a contract marriage offer with a foreign man with clearer rules and some guarantee her safety.
Yati thought, if she didn't need to worry about her status as a contract wife. Because all this time, he also became the mistress of om-om, which he first received his offer to accompany meals and eventually asked her out too.
*****
The first man Yati likes, because it looks calm and does not like to tease the waiters of the restaurant, despite coming along with his friends.
And just asked for her, when she came alone. After that, they became familiar and often went out together.
Somehow Yati felt calm and there was no doubt about the middle-aged man who still looked handsome and handsome.
At over forty years of age, the man appeared to be under thirty. Something unusual, because she never did the treatment, just as the classy and socialite women often do.
To the man as well, Yati gave up everything. Honor included. Something she's been guarding all this time, even though she's been a waitress at the restaurant for almost two years.
So, Yati had only done it with the man when she was only eighteen. And Yati did not feel regret, because the man, indeed never forced himself.
I don't know what made Yati willingly give everything to the man earlier. Yati only knows, if she feels comfortable and safe together with him.
Fortunately, the man never did anything rude. She was very affectionate and treated Yati well and gently. So that Yati is difficult to 'get away' from him. For almost a year they had a hidden relationship.
The two of them, separated because of the man, got an assignment abroad, and they also spent a long night, before separating until now.
Because of that farewell as well, Yati was looking for a lover. But it turns out that his lover was not as good as the man who left because of duty.
In the end, Yati decides to accept an offer from Mr. Akihiko, to Japan. And nearly two years in Japan, just a month ago Yati returned, and accepted an offer to be the contract wife of Mr. Johan, an American citizen.
