The Contract Wife of the Cruel Master
Chapter 5
“Leon,” says Anna is slowly hoping Leon realizes his whereabouts. Anna held onto her heart as it squeezed until it beat incongruously. The pain hit her even more, Anna took a slow breath she could not care about Leon and the woman. Anna must realize, Anna must be sincere if she is just a contract wife in charge of giving birth to Leon's child.
“Close your eyes, lo strong Anna.” Anna wanted to close her eyes but could not, the sight was extremely painful for her. Anna tried to accept, but everything was difficult as opposed to her wishes.
Anna walked slowly while lowering her head. When seeing Leon close his eyes to make Anna's heart hurt, Leon impressed the most advantaged party.
“Lo his cousin Leon?” isha asked as she tidied up her open clothes.
Anna turned her face away not wanting to see that. Anna wants to answer no and says she's Leon's wife, but Anna doesn't want to risk it. “I-ya!”
“Sorry yes, I did not know there was lo was surely you saw us from earlier huh? Leon is outrageous, do not know the place of his house,” explained Isha as if heating Anna.
“Gue Isha, the most important person in Leon's life.” Isha deliberately pressed her last word.
Anna lowered her head in tears. So, this woman is Leon's girlfriend just deserved she made a contract with him. Anna realized, maybe she was a prick now. “Anna.”
Isha nodded her head. Isha's eyebrows raised when she saw Anna's puffy eyes, Isha smiled obliquely at Anna who was like hiding her. “Lo jealous, yes?”
Anna looked straight at Isha. Anna immediately shook her head. “No!”
Isha chuckled softly. “Lo's eyes can't lie to me, Anna.”
Anna immediately rubbed her two eyes eliminating the rest of her tears there. Anna must not make Isha suspicious, in fact Anna is sick when Leon considers her cousin to be slammed wife. “I don't have the same feeling as Leon, after all he's my cousin.”
“Leon does consider you a cousin, but you like to expect feelings from Leon.” Isha held Anna's cheek firmly.
Anna grimaced softly. “That's not true, I really don't have the same feeling Leon, besides I already have a lover.” Lying Anna.
“Love?” Isha looked at Anna from top to bottom. “Modelan ***** as well?”
New lifetime now Anna spelled out ******. So who is he? He who is fond of making out with the husband of the person can it be called ******? Anna brushed off Isha's hand.
“Leon is just mine. Lo grab him, you have to deal with me.” Isha blocks Anna's arm.
Anna did not heed Isha's words, she glanced at Leon who was asleep on the sofa. He seemed to be enjoying the game a lot, Anna was grieving softly. Anna wants to forget the incident and Anna doesn't want to remember it.
Anna leaned her body against the door. Anna spilled all her cries there, Anna was not strong with all of this. Anna wants to just give up, Anna wants to live her life without her injuries and pain anymore.
“Why you go.” Anna tightly grasped her sunflower necklace.
Anna kicked the floor while pulling her hair rough. Anna's breath was hunting, Anna held onto her chest that was throbbing pain then took some medicine from the drawer and drank it straight away.
“Bring me with you.” Then Anna closed her eyes peacefully, at least all of this was just a dream and Anna would not be disappointed.
In the morning as usual Anna cooked in the kitchen with the maid there. Anna makes Leon's favorite ketchup chicken, Anna knows her cooking will never be eaten by Leon, but Anna wants to cook it for herself.
Anna arranged the food at the table and then took the dishes and put them there. He saw Leon who just came down from his room while twirling his motorbike key.
Anna just kept quiet not intending to call Leon. The shadows of last night's events still remember Anna's mind, Anna is still disappointed and she doesn't want Leon to know that.
Tumben once Anna didn't call him, even last night she didn't sleep in her room. Let it be, Leon doesn't care about any of that.
“Lo cook again? I told you your cooking is not worth eating!” leon said as he approached Anna.
“I didn't tell you to eat it.” Anna picked up a box of supplies, then put some food in there.
Leon opened his eyes in shock, daring once he answered her now. “Lo is brave now yes, do not want the same rule lo?!”
Anna remembered all the rules of the contract. But Anna is still disappointed in him, Anna doesn't care about all Leon's words right now. “I still remember it.”
This morning Anna looked different in her eyes. Anna used to babble every morning, but now she's just quiet. Leon is curious about Anna's change.
“Lo have met Isha?” ask Leon.
Anna nodded her head. ‘I also saw you kissing her Leon,’ Anna continued inwardly.
“I leave first Leon.” Anna grabs Leon's hand and kisses him.
Leon's heart rippled as he felt Anna's kiss in his hand. Leon looked at his hand then rubbed it slowly, feeling as if it had been around for a long time but why did Leon not remember it. Anna is so mysterious that she thinks Anna is different and Leon realizes it.
After school yesterday Leon did not meet with Anna, even Isha came home Leon did not know. When he came home from school, Leon was dizzy and fell asleep on the sofa all night, but yesterday he did not do anything just eat at a restaurant with Isha.
“Dia why?”

Anna took the glass from her desk drawer. Anna looked into her puffy, blackened eyes beneath her, Anna was thinking too much about last night's events to make it hard to sleep.
“Lots load life lo, Na.” Anna touched her eyes slowly and then picked up something there.
Anna smiled at his smile. This thing that hides his personality, this thing that covers who he is. Anna is forced, Anna is tormented, Anna wants to end it. Anna wants to be happy without this thing sticking to her.
“Mama ... Papa, Anna will try.”
Hearing the knock from outside, Anna hurriedly stuck the thing on her eyes again. Anna opened the door, she saw the Head of the Students standing there.
“Pak,” Anna kissed Pak Harto's hand and then let him in.
“Anna here is a file that you have to deliver to the neighboring school. About the next month's event that we're planning they agree, you deliver this file make sure the Principal signs it.” Mr. Harto left the file to Anna.
Anna's school will hold a bazaar and a few races next month. His school invited every neighboring school to take part in the event, including Kalingga High School.
“Good Sir will I deliver now.”
“Cautious.”
After Pak Harto left. Anna went back in and picked up her backpack and sunflowers. Anna put the file into her big map. Anna will meet Leon again, and there must be Isha there.
“Gue anterin lo, yes?” bargain Kenzo. Kenzo had heard Anna talk with Mr. Harto earlier.
Anna shook her head. “Don't Ken, it's still hours of study, I don't want you to skip.”
Kenzo grunted in annoyance. “Gak papa lah, once in a while I skip bosen pinter mulu.” Kenzo is a student who is good at academics after Anna. Kenzo and Anna have always represented their school for every race for example, Science and other races.
Anna chuckled softly. “No need for Ken, anyways I bring a bike.”
“Once I got on Na's bike, I don't want my Princess to overheat. With me yes, please?” pinta Kenzo weld.
Anna had to shake her head. Rather than a long problem, he'd better agree to Kenzo's request.
Anna held tightly onto Kenzo's shoulder. True Kenzo said, today was quite hot whistling yesterday. Anna enjoyed every wind that blew, it felt fresh and soothing.
“Lo kayak seneng really Na?” ask Kenzo from behind his helmet.
Anna looked at Kenzo from the rearview mirror. “Hmm, the air is really cool Ken, nenangin it.”
Kenzo deliberately runs his bike slowly. “Such a habit, you do not know Na if bring the slow motor like something less.”
“Ya stay cepetin aja,” said Anna.
“Gue don't want you to know why Na.” Kenzo took Anna's hand and wrapped it around her stomach.
Anna was silent for a moment, then tightened her embrace. “Don't get too far Ken, you'll get sick.”
***
Kenzo turned the bike around for a while, then approached Anna at the front gate.
“Why not log in?” ask Kenzo.
“The flight is locked,” Anna replied as she pointed at the gate in front of her.
Kenzo looked at Anna's direction, and the gate was locked. “But, I call the security guard first.”
“Pak,” call Kenzo while knocking on the gate.
A few minutes later, the gate opened. “Whose are you?” the security guard asked confused, because their school uniforms were different.
“We are from Garuda Pak High School, we want to meet the principal,” Anna explained.
The guard nodded his head. “Oh so, let's go in.”
Anna and Kenzo bowed. They enter the school, the environment seems quiet maybe learning has begun. Anna walked slowly beside Kenzo, Anna's heart was pounding strongly, what if later she met Leon must be Leon wondered at himself with the attitude earlier at home.
“Where is the principal room?” Anna cursed at herself who could not ask.
