"That's all, Vik. Our brand area manager even urged me to ask you back to work!" Lolita's loud voice on the other end of the phone greeted Vika's hearing.
"Thank God, if I'm still accepted by the company."
"Haha, of course accepted. In this day and age where you want to graduate Cumlaude like you work as an SPG (Sales Promotion Girl)," quipped Lolita.
"Okay, tomorrow I'll go straight to work. Who's in the morning tomorrow?"
"Fany. Tomorrow I'm off."
"Uh, idol!" exclaim Vika.
After a chat, Vika finally hung up. From the tail of his eyes, he could see Nova was throwing a cynical look full of hostility.
"Low work is done!"
"What do you mean?"
"Yeah ... SPG! Low-down!"
"Seller power you call low? In this world there is no such thing as a lowly job, brother. What exists is the mindset of Brother who is too simple and lowly!" said Vika.
Hearing Vika's words, made Nova ride apitam. He started to approach Vika and looked at her sharply. Nova's hand hung in the air preparing to land smoothly on Vika's cheek. Fortunately, Mahen came at the right time.
"Nova!" shouted Mahen.
Mahen stepped wide towards his two wives. He grasped Nova's wrist, then linked his fingers with Nova's.
"That's it, don't make things difficult for yourself. Don't do such a futile thing. Just ignore him, let him act his way as long as he doesn't offend us both." Mahen dampened Nova's emotions, the woman was obedient without a fight.

That morning Vika was surprised by the presence of a duck motorcycle parked in front of the house. Judging from any side, the bike is very similar to the bike that was lost a few months ago.
To make sure that it was the bike, Vika opened the motorcycle seat. It turned out that it was a Vika motorbike, in the trunk there was a pony sticker with glitter.
"Hihi, you are a duck! Missed you!" said Vika while stroking the motor body like stroking a child.
"Ehm!" Mahen cleared his throat seeing the ridiculous behavior of his second wife.
A smile adorned Vika's lips. He tried to approach Mahen to ask about the duck.
"Sir Mahen, thank you for the bike" said Vika while smiling indistinctly.
"It just so happened that someone offered a used motorbike, so I bought it," explained Mahen.
"What ... Mahen knows that this bike is my missing bike?" vika asked to make sure her guess was right.
"Where do I know? I bought a motorbike because you didn't want to whine later asking to drop back and forth!" kilah Mahen's.
"O .... " O ria Vika while the mangosteen.
"Obviously thank you, brother. Whether by coincidence or not I'm obviously very grateful." Vika thanked him while smiling towards Mahen.
In a split second, a light shock perched in Mahen's heart. The man was fascinated with the gentle smile of his second wife. But all that he's clinked. Mahen does not want to share his love for anyone other than Nova.

Vika is now more colorful, not monotonous as it has been. Every day he can joke with Fany and Loli.
Vika really keeps her mental sanity according to the content of the agreement. Money is flowing in his account. The balance in his ATM even now touches eight digits. But the balance there is not reduced at all.
Vika prefers to use her own hard-earned money. After all, Fany and Loli are very simple types of friends. They just invite to hang out at pecel catfish stalls, or buy martabak and then eaten in the boarding room Fany or Loli.
But sometimes they would watch movies in the cinema. Or hanging out at a cafe for a Wi-Fi ride. His friendship is that simple.
***
I don't feel like time passes so quickly. The marriage agreement has been in place for three months. Vika has started to be engrossed in her own world when she is outside the house. But the happiness out there only lasts until the front gate of Mahen's house.
Arriving at home, he will return to being a miserable and lonely Vika. Nova still often bothers him when Mahen is not home. Giving Vika a stack of jobs, and complicating things. As a result, Vika is often late at work.
That afternoon Vika plans to hang out at the cafe with Fany. He was already preparing with a knee-length dress patterned with flowers. Her hair was slightly curled in a ponytail and then decorated with a red ribbon.
When stepping out of the room, Vika passed Mahen who was making instant noodles in the kitchen. He didn't want to care about it. But, he could not because Mahen often consume instant noodles. He approached Mahen who started stirring the noodles with his spice.
"Don't eat that often, if you don't want illness in old age," said Vika.
The stirring motion that Mahen did stopped. The handsome man stared sinisterly at Vika.
"Whatever, anyway. Besides, when old Mahen isn't me taking care of it!" vika said as she sauntered out of the kitchen.
***
After splitting the streets of the capital for fifteen minutes, Vika finally arrived at a cafe. He ordered mango smoothies with an abundance of wipe cream on top. Vika's eyes are glued to her smart phone.
"Dor!" Fany patted Vika's shoulder to surprise her best friend.
"Fuck!" ejek Vika's.
"Right Loli said, behind your head are her eyes!" fany.
"Here sit down," Vika said as she patted the empty sofa beside her.
"Said Miss Angel, this week there is the addition of a new SPG," said Fany while chewing cheese cake.
"Thank God" said Vika.
Vika responded to Fany's complaint. He could understand because Fany had to pay for his sister's school. Overtime is the most anticipated thing.
"Yes, I heard rumors that Mr. Mahen is remarried!" said Fany.
"Ohuk!" Hearing Fany's words, Vika who was busy enjoying a drink was choking.
"Why the hell, Vik?" fany asked while patting Vika on the back.
Vika downed the mineral water Fany brought in until the toilet was not left. The girl took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.
"Why do you know where, Fan?"
"Oh, that's .. rumour anyway, from the grapevine of the building management person."
"So no one saw it or knew it for sure, right?" ask Vika.
"Looks not. Wait!" Fany's eyes widened to find awkwardness.
"Why?"
"Why do you care about Mahen's second marriage?" ask Fany suspiciously.
"Ha! No lah! I was just shocked," said Vika, turning her eyes to the glass containing half-living smoothies.
"Don't you have a crush on Mr Mahen?" tempt Fany while throwing a mischievous smile.
"No! Amit-amit!" vika said while hitting her head and the table in front of her repeatedly.
"Husssta! Don't be amit-amit, it'll really be love, you know!" fany was followed by laughter.

After returning from the cafe, Vika had such a good mood. He entered Mahen's house while humming. The girl went into her cramped room and threw herself on the bed.
Nova opened the door of the room without permission. Instantly Vika's good mood evaporated somewhere.
"What?" ask Vika without looking at Nova.
Nova throws a piece of the dress made from brucat towards Vika. His eyes bulged, his hands crossed in front of his chest, then began to speak in a tone full of anger.
"If the work is real! Look at that dress!"
Vika sat down, then grabbed the maroon-colored brucat dress. There was a rather large hole in his chest. Looks like the former is ironed with hot temperature.
"I didn't wash this dress" Vika defended herself.
"Then who? A ghost?"
"Stone maybe? Vika remembers never washing this dress" Vika said, handing the dress to Nova.
"Reason! Don't cuss! I want you to find it instead now!" Nova pulls rough arm Vika.
"Sister! At this hour, there's a shop still open!"
"I don't care! Get it instead, and don't come back before you get it!"
Gets harsh treatment and baseless accusations, of course Vika rebelled. Repeatedly he tried to release Nova's hand. But any can come off, Nova quickly grabbed back his hand.
The exciting activity lasted until the living room. Nova pushes Vika's body to the floor. Unexpectedly, it turned out that Miss Winda was already standing in the living room while shaking her waist.
"What's this?" tanya Bu Winda stiff.
"Ma-mama when is it coming? Kok, didn't tell me if I wanted to go home?" ask Nova nervously.
"Like me dong, come here when? This is my son's house!"
Vika stood assisted by Miss Winda. His head was still down, not out of fear. She looked down in shame as her mother-in-law witnessed her miserable condition.
"Vika, what's wrong?"
"I-that, actually misunderstood, Ma .... "
"What kind of misunderstanding?"
"Sir Nova thinks I ruined the party dress."
Now the view of Miss Winda turned to Nova. Slowly he approached Nova.
"Don't act all you want, have you forgotten where you came from?" said Miss Winda.
Hearing the words of Miss Winda, Nova was wide-eyed. His body trembled violently and his pupils widened. Bad memories of the past come back from the memory of his brain. Miss Winda approached Nova, then whispered.
"Do I need to remind you again?"
Nova just pecked, Miss Winda's speech like a mantra. After that, Miss Winda grabbed Vika's hand and took her.
"Vika, from today you live with mom and dad. Let Mahen come to the house. It's worth it that you don't get pregnant, you're definitely depressed!" said Miss Winda.
Vika remained silent and did not answer. Miss Winda just took her away. After the two of them leave the house, Nova's body slumps. He was crying a lot. He did not want to go back to his old life. All he has to do now is stay in his household no matter what.
