SECOND MAHLIGAI

Chapter 10 - A Bid For The Widow

Sasi leaned on her small back to neutralize the shock of Nathan's words, about his life that no outsider knew at all. Who is this man in front of him? Why would he know so much about his relationship with the Mahardika family?

“Who, You? Why, you know about my relationship with the Mahardika family?”

Sasi looked at the man in front of her. If he used to be treated with cruelty. This time he would not let anyone treat him badly.

Nathan who saw the hatred in Sasi's eyes felt that his guess of how the family treated Sasi was answered very well.

“I'm just a Nathan, who wants to make you and Aslan free from the Mahardika family.”

“What is the reason? No one knew about my relationship with the Mahardika family. I'm sure there's no way you're not asking for anything in return for what you did?”

Nathan nodded. He likes Sasi who is smart, assertive and principled. When all the women chose money, she only chose Aslan to stay with her even though she would never be able to remarry for the rest of her life.

“Only one condition, I want you to fulfill it.”

“Married?” said Sasi straightforwardly.

Nathan smiled hearing Sasi so well able to read his wish.

“You..”

“You, sane?” sasi asked to cut out Nathan's words. “Are you looking carefully at me?” sasi continued and got a nod by this man before her.

“I need a wife to accompany and complete my life, whereas you need a strong person to free you from that greedy family? Don't we sound like we need each other?”

A smile adorned that handsome face. Nathan knows that Aryani Sasmitha is a very careful woman who steps. Therefore, he believes that this woman in front of him can complete his imperfect life.

Sasi who can no longer say - words can only snort. He lost the word to reply to the man.

“So, how?” ask Nathan.

“I don't want to, because I don't want to be shackled with the rich pompous and self-absorbed!” sasi firmly.

Sasi who could no longer hold tightness in her chest spontaneously stood up and stepped her feet wanting to get out of the room. Nathan didn't want to miss the opportunity because for him there was no chance of coming for a second time.

“Wait!” prevent Nathan.

The woman stopped but turned her back to the man. Didn't want Nathan to see the tears that had been flowing in both corners of his eyes Sasi remained standing upright in his position.

“I know, you want to be free. I just want to find a clear companion - obviously not going to ask for my father's offspring.”

Sasi who heard Nathan's words furrowed both of his eyebrows. What does this guy mean? What Sasi would only be made a wife without identity. He who no longer wanted to hear the nonsense from Nathan returned to take his steps.

“I can't have offspring!” nathan exclaimed and made Sasi round his eyes in surprise.

The widow of one child fell silent again in her position. Now what to answer for the man's words. Had his hearing not been wrong, the gallant man could not have any offspring. What a joke is this. Sasi turned her body and looked at Nathan with a smile adorning that invisible beautiful face.

Nathan's breath blows with his weight. Who would believe such a gallant man could not seem to have any offspring. Obviously no one would believe it.

“It's reality. Money, position, luxury. Everything I have exceeds that ex. But what I have can not make me have offspring of myself.”

Sasi bit her lips looking at the sad face of this man before her. His heart is worried now. Does he need to give this man a chance in front of him, he thought. Nathan no longer persuaded Sasi because his last weapon had been laid.

The silent atmosphere was created just like that. Neither Nathan nor Sasi has reopened talks between them. Sasi who keeps mere*mas both hands placed on his thighs feel more nervous while Nathan, actually drowning in his own daydream.

Sasi swallows her saliva. What he wanted to say was that he couldn't get out of his throat. He sighed and tried to venturate to express his heart.

“What can you do with Mahardika? Can they not know who helped me?”

Sasi ventured to open her voice. Whether this decision was right or not but his little heart encouraged him to give this man before him a chance to help him.

“I can do it now if you want. Without them knowing that you and Galih are legally divorced. Can money do everything?” nathan said confidently with a rancid smile adorning his handsome face.

Sasi who saw that could only rotate her eyes while pulling the tip of her lips formed a small smile.

***

Night in the contract. Sasi and Aslan were enjoying their dinner while throwing jokes that made the two laugh at each other as if there had never been a problem in the life of the child and his mother. After this afternoon his conversation with Nathan found the meeting point Sasi asked for a break and chose to go home alone with an online ojek.

He did not want his neighbors to think that was not - not about him. Especially if Aslan to find out if those who do not know each other meet and walk together. Sasai is not ready if Aslan asks more why he and Nathan can go together.

“Mah?”

“Ya?”

“Tadi, Aunt Ina told Aslan if Mama went along with a man. He asked if our brother was visiting, and I told him we no longer had a brother. And I told her that maybe Aunt Ina saw it wrong, there's no way that Mama's going with a guy, right?”

Sasi who was chewing the soft rice suddenly like eating rice. He swallowed with difficulty until the water next to him he drank in one gulp.

Aslan saw the mother was silent and did not immediately answer her question staring at the strange woman who gave birth to it.

“Mama, it's okay - what? Is the rice hard to swallow?” ask Aslan.

I don't know if her mother is nervous. Sasi who was unlikely to hide this matter opened her mouth and said a word that made Aslan almost spout out the water she had just drank.

“What?” Aslan was surprised and looked sharply at the mother,

“So Mama went with Om Nathan,” Sasi said. He resigned if Aslan would be angry with him.

“Oh, so that guy is Om Nathan? Why did Mama not say from earlier anyway, make me almost misunderstand.”

Sasi frowned hearing Aslan not feel disappointed or not angry at him. The boy smiled as if nothing had happened.
