Chapter 43
How shocked Aulia was when her eyes rubbed against the sharp-eyed man. He lowered his gaze quickly. Aulia's body trembled as she saw that the stack of papers was an important document of agreement between the two companies.
'Oh my God, how is this?' inner Aulia felt anxiety.
"What are you doing Miss!" hardik two people at the same time.
There were three other people sitting at that table. The three of them were seen putting on an angry face towards Aulia.
"Did you know that the paper that was hit by this water spill is very important?" snapped the person in black clothes and stared nyalang at Aulia.
"I'm sorry, sir. Really, I didn't do it intentionally. There was no intention of tampering with these papers," said Aulia nervously and from the look of her eyes frightened at being glared at by four adult men.
"You have to compensate!" said the man sitting beside Aulia who was standing.
Aulia turned her attention to the man. Highlight the sharp eyes that seemed to always pull himself to look at him.
"I don't have a laptop" Aulia replied.
"Laptops?" say those four men.
"If I could borrow her laptop, I would retype all the documents that were hit by this water spill," Aulia replied and made the four men there dumbfounded and immediately held back her laughter.
"It's not a problem retyping all these documents. But, because of you we will lose eight hundred billion. And you have to take responsibility for the damages" continued the man in the wheelchair.
"De-eight ra-tus billion?" Aulia's heart felt falling into her stomach when she heard the nominal amount she had to replace.
"Yes," replied the man who was still staring fixedly at Aulia.
"But, Mr. .. I don't have that much. Is this paper really that expensive?" Aulia looked back at the handsome face of a mixture of Indonesian and Chinese or Japanese.
"Not the price of the paper, but the contents of the paper are expensive" said the man.
"It's expensive," said Aulia, "can I pay for it in installments?"
"How long are you going to take?" ask a man named Alvan.
"No time is limited, which is important until it is paid off" replied Aulia. He doesn't have that kind of money. Although selling all his wealth will not be able to pay it.
"If that's the case you can run away and will not pay my debt" said Alvan.
"Astaghfirullahal. Sir, whose name is the debt until whenever it must be paid. If it cannot be paid off in this world, it will be billed later in the afterlife. And I don't want to die carrying the burden of debt" Aulia replied fiercely. Debt is something very heavy, although sometimes considered trivial by some people. Aulia is not the type who likes to underestimate debt, so she always quickly pays her debts. Want it a debt of money, energy, or promise.
"Good, I like the way you think. Then you work at my place, and the rest of your debt will be deducted from the salary you will receive," said Alvan gave one of the solutions thought by him.
Everyone there was silent with their mouths tight while in their hearts they were wondering. The other three men know very well that Alvan opens the type of person who likes to talk a lot. Especially with a foreign woman.
"If it takes your whole life" replied Alvan.
"What's? I don't want to work for a lifetime. Especially if I'm married later, I just want to be a housewife who takes care of husband and child" argued Aulia who refused it.
"Easy, you marry someone who is very rich and can pay the rest of your debt" Alvan said, raising his eyebrows.
"Sorry, Sir. I am looking for a man to marry, not from the many treasures he has. I want to marry a man who can guide me and my family in the future, in order to survive in the world and the hereafter. Everyone has different desires in finding a life partner, as well as myself. Having her own criteria," explained Aulia with a dislike look at the man who only saw the woman as a matre creature who only saw treasures.
"So?" ask Alvan.
"I'll pay every month the debt I have to you. Although the debt is likely to be passed on to my grandchildren later, God willing will be paid until paid off" replied Aulia.
Alvan was stunned by the figure of the veiled girl who spoke firmly. Never once in his life has he ever faced a woman like this.
"I'm asking for your account number and I'm going to pay in advance of that debt, even if it's not much," Aulia said.
"I don't remember my account number. I give you the phone number, you call me later" said Alvan.
'Well, what's going on? What is the new model mode? But great as well as the Boss, this indirectly asked for this woman's number, the inner man in the blue suit.

Aulia came home listlessly. Not long after, Joseph's grandfather called. Then Aulia also recounted the events experienced by him.
^^^"Innalilahi wa innailaihi rojiun, Aulia why is it like that?" asked Joseph's grandfather with pity.^^^
"The name was an accident, too, Cake. It may be a disaster, but there will surely be a silver lining. Right, Cake? reply Aulia.
^^^"Then, I'll help you. Grandpa has money but not big" said grandfather Yusuf.^^^
"No need, Cake. Aulia wants to ask permission from Grandpa to work first, until Aulia gets married, to pay the debt. If Grandpa Yusuf and Grandma Halimah can join Aulia here. Let Aulia also be able to pay attention and take care of the two of you," Pinta Aulia.
^^^"The atmosphere of the village is more suitable for us, Aulia. You're fine working there. It's just enough every day we call each other like this. Sometimes grandfather will come to you" said grandfather Yusuf refused Aulia's invitation.^^^
The three of them–Aulia, Joseph's grandfather, and Halimah–'s grandmother talked through video calls alternately. Talking with the two of them made Aulia's heart and mind feel calm.

"There's a message coming in from a foreign number" Aulia murmured when she heard a sound on her phone.
Seen there is a row of numbers and the name of a private bank, also the name of the owner of the account number. Aulia replied to the message.
Sir, I will send via M-banking with a nominal 5 billion. I'll post the proof of payment.

Will Aulia be able to pay off that debt? Wait for it to go, yeah!
