Satuku Hand Husband

Shameful Surprise

The list of surprises that Vina referred to was being reread by Mandala.

The man laughed with a blushed face. He did not laugh at the nominal billions he had to pay for the contents of the Amadean wardrobe. Nah! He laughed at the grocery list Vina made.

About clothes, bags, shoes, watches, jewelry, and others are the basic things that Mandala wants to suffice for his contract wife. He wanted Amadea to wear items that were more expensive than Meirika's everyday style. But there is a special list that Vina proposed in the purchase report that is : lingerie.

"Oh my goodness!" Mandala exclaimed softly as she pressed the link of the tempting clothing catalogue. He quickly closed it back down as he was ashamed to see the row of seductive clothes.

A soft laughter accompanied the faint smile of Mandala Barata.

"Jeez Vina! Dea may be upset when she finds out these sexy clothes fill her closet. The boy was so innocent. I can't even imagine her wearing...

Ah, but Dea is beautiful and her body is well proportioned. He'll be fit to wear... Jeez Mandala! Clear that dirty mind of yours!" The mandala screamed at itself in the heart.

Fortunately, the guest from the business magazine team who was about to interview him immediately came to his room, so the wild mind of Mandala came to a halt.

Meanwhile, Dea who was about to lay down on the soft mattress was undo his intentions as soon as he read a surprise message from Vina.

"What surprise? There's-there's just." Dea laughed again and suddenly felt excited to find the surprise that his friend meant.

Oh, they deserve to be called 'friends' even though Dea has only known for a few months. Vina and Adit were arguably his close friends at the office.

Can Dea remember how the children of the office looked at her strangely once the gossip of her marriage with Mandala was broadcast internally. Everyone stared condescendingly mixed; except Karen, Adit, and Vina.

Yes, the new child who is whiny and hobby crying when it is taken by Mr Mandala will marry Mr Mandala? They were clearly shocked.

They also clearly know but keep quiet about the relationship and wedding plans of their big boss with Meirika Jayatri. When the wedding gossip was heard, the office children would have known Dea was just a substitute bride.

I don't know what they're gossiping about. Maybe they're guessing Dea got paid. Or they think Dea's new, itchy secretary managed to snatch the stone-hearted Mandala. Or whatever it is, I don't know what they think. 

That look finally made Dea not protest when Mandala told him to resign. He felt the entire office was no longer friendly with him.

Adit and Vina are different. They did not look dea down. They never asked about the rumors and why Dea wanted to marry Mandala. But they just seem to be having fun. They are a husband and wife who do not like to judge.

If Karen, the replacement secretary, did not look at him with a gaze of judgment. It's just that he's more careless and doesn't care. He only thinks about work, work, and work. He doesn't care much about other people's business.

Dea breathed a long breath. He was curious about the surprise he could not find. He also entered the door of the special room that Vina showed in the photo.

Click!

And as soon as Dea opened it, he could only be stunned at the door.

The lights automatically turn on and wow... Blessed with beautiful glass cabinets containing branded goods the dreams of glamorous women screamed happily.

"God! Should all this? It's like moving one store in a mall into a room." Dea muttered and walked through the room bathed in bright light.

While groping the clothes hanging beautifully, Dea found a scrap paper stuck in a rather large drawer that was tightly closed.

"Ah, is this the surprise that Vina mentioned?" Dea exclaimed curiously.

Dea furrowed her brows and immediately pulled the drawer to find out what it contained. Why are Vina's words so confusing.

And... Sretta!

"Vinaaaaa!"

Amadea Kasea shouted unconsciously when she knew that the special drawer was filled with various tempting clothes that were popular with the term 'wife's office clothes'.

The lightning-fast Dea closed the drawer again with a flushed face.

"Dea, you're just married lies. You even signed the physical contact restriction rule. You will never wear that shirt. Don't imagine anything silly in your head. Give up your dirty thoughts hey!!!"

Drtts! Drtts!

And Dea who is still bored because of the shock at the same time amused directly distract by checking the notification of his cellphone that just lit up.

A message came in from Aunt Eva he opened. And within five seconds his expression instantly changed.

Turned to anger...

***

Aunt Eva is a retired teacher who now suffers a stroke so her legs are difficult to move. Although only a neighbor, but Dea knew him as a kind aunt who always gave him homemade cakes when he was a child.

Little Amadea Kasea also often ran away to Aunt Eva's house when her mother nagged her or scolded her.

Aunt Eva was like a fairy godmother to him. Even now, Dea's relationship with the old woman is still tight.

Aunt Eva was sitting in her wheelchair under a cherry tree next to the house when Dea called her.

"Yes, Dea. Aunt's eyesight is still good. Where could Auntie have seen it wrong. If you don't believe ask the same Mbok Min. Earlier Mbok Min again pushed his wheelchair Aunt into the side yard when Aunt saw your stepfather enter the house."

From across the phone call, Dea could be heard sighing. Half holding back in annoyance, half resigned.

"No car with you. Take taxi. Just be alone and bring a backpack. It seems like a hurry to get into the house. Frowning too, perhaps afraid of being discovered. Dea's still in the office?" Aunt Eva who knows very well the problem of the Dea family sounds concerned.

Yes, after knowing his mother was in debt because of the actions of his stepfather who he hated it, Dea had to rest at the feet of his favorite aunt because he did not know who to complain or tell who.

Aunt Eva knew very well how Dea struggled to care for her late father until his death, then later replaced the position as head of the family and breadwinner.

Aunt Eva knows very well how the character of the mother of Dea aka Riris Sayuti who likes foya-foya but by extorting money from Dea's work.

Aunt Eva is just a neighbor. All he could do was be a good listener to Dea.

"Don't cry, Dea Darling. Want Aunt to tell Mbok Min to check in on the house? Did you call your mom, huh. Try to check he's honest or not about Om Alik." Aunt Eva wins the patiently crying Dea.
