The Marrying Bet

Not Yours anymore

Vara turned her eyes when she found Viceroy sitting on the balcony of her apartment unit. The man sat down while enjoying a cup of warm tea. The atmosphere at night is very comfortable to enjoy. The breeze blowing breezes, the sound of crashing waves, and the bright night sky fused together in harmony.

I don't know why Vara was upset to see the man. His disappointment with Viceroy was enormous. He wants to start a new life soon, trying to rearrange the life that had been destroyed by the divorce of this beloved husband. He loved Viceroy so much, but the shadow of how the tyranny of the Queen Mother made Vara feel depressed. Although they still love each other, but see Viceroy who is so devoted to the mother, making Vara prefer to succumb to her love. Especially the purpose of the Queen Mother forced them to divorce because there were other women who preferred the Queen Mother to be the wife of Viceroy. Automatically make Vara immediately build an invisible fortress, so that he does not need to be carried away with feelings again to Viceroy.

"Viceroy, how come you're here any more?" ask Vara.

Viceroy reviewed his smile.

"Of course stay" replied Viceroy.

Back Vara rolled his eyeballs, after their divorce, Viceroy was more free to visit Vara. Almost every night the man stayed. It's just that they don't sleep together in one bed like they did when they were married. Viceroy only slept on the floor of a thick carpet without blankets or pillows.

"Go home! You'll be looking for your mother!" drive Vara.

Viceroy still smelled his smile.

"My mom is busy now" replied Viceroy.

"Have you been busy with your wedding?" asked Vara in a cold tone.

"Vara, what do you mean?" ask Viceroy.

"Viceroy, we're divorced and you're getting married to the woman your mother chose, right, Viceroy Nurbaya?!" sindir Vara with a sharp.

Viceroy smiled, he was really anxious to see Vara as he vented his frustration.

"Vara, you'll have to cut a goat if you want to change my name" Viceroy laughed.

"Viceroy, you don't have to shift the issue! It doesn't feel right for us to be together like this, it's not good to see the neighbors! Later we are thought to be a couple gathering kebo!" said Vara again.

"The neighbor? Is there a nuclear neighbor here who would care about us?" viceroy asked, laughing.

Vara scowled to see Viceroy laughing at him. Staying in the apartment and abstaining from going home before evening certainly makes Vara not recognize the residents of other units at all.

"Vara, do you know, I come here every night because I'm so worried about you! You won't answer my phone or answer a video call, I'm really afraid you'll do something reckless that will put your life at risk! Really, I don't want you to get late and get swept away in Vara's grief" Viceroy said.

"Vara, how many times do I have to tell you that this divorce is not our wish, it's all my mother's wish! I just follow his will! Please, don't avoid me, it's not my fault" Viceroy continued.

"Viceroy, I'm really fine and I'll be fine! I've received all this with a chest. I'm sincere, ridho the afterlife," said Vara.

Vara immediately went into the bathroom leaving Viceroy still sitting on the balcony. It hurts to be divorced suddenly. But again Vara can only accept it even so heavy. Had Vara known that the end of their marriage was divorce, Vara should not have been carried away. But seeing Viceroy being so kind to her, treating her gently finally made Vara feel at ease. Love grows because they are used to being together.

"Vara! It's already! No need to regret back what happened, just focus on what happened next" Vara muttered in front of the mirror.

He can only raise his own heart. There was no place for him to complain. He can only hold everything himself.

...*****...

Vara had finished bathing and getting dressed. He immediately climbed into the bed to start the ritual after bathing by sweeping the body lotion starting from his feet.

"Not look around!" sergeant Vara to Viceroy who smiled at him.

"I'm not yours anymore!" continued Vara.

"Vara," said Viceroy immediately sitting on the edge of the mattress.

"Did you forget, we used to get married just for status, it doesn't matter we're divorced for status, we're still in love!" Viceroy.

"No problem with Hong Kong!" Vara pushed Viceroy away from him. Viceroy fell to the floor.

"Okay, Vara!" Viceroy.

"Viceroy, please keep your distance! We're not a halal couple!" Vara toilet.

"Vara," said Viceroy flabbergasted.

Vara immediately lay down and pulled the blanket.

"Vara, why are you being this kind of person anyway?" ask Viceroy.

"Viceree! Which is more, your mother or me?! Your mother even made me a widow to make you a husband to her choice!" sahut Vara with a sharp.

"Vara, I'm not going to marry my mother's chosen woman, trust me" Viceroy said.

"Haha! Believe you? You also said you wouldn't divorce me, but what's the evidence? You keep divorcing me! Never mind Viceroy, you don't have to give me party promises! You're not a councilman!" sergeant Vara.

Viceroy held the back of his neck which felt stiffened. I don't know why he felt that the woman he was currently arguing with was not Vara.

"Vara, do you want to bet with me?" viceroy asked as he put on a slanted smile.

"I bet my mom will definitely bless us!" viceroy said with complete confidence.

Vara breathed heavily.

"Viceroy, thank you, but I'm not interested in betting with you! Don't give me false hopes that will only make me more hurt!" vara said trying to keep her emotions.

He did not want to cry anymore, it was enough yesterday-yesterday he cried. If her tears could turn into diamonds, maybe now Vara suddenly became a millionaire. Maybe if he stays, he can get a bucket so many Vara crying during the suspension from the company that must be lived.

"Vara, do you really think that you're the only one saddened and disappointed by our divorce? If you think so, you're completely wrong! I really love you, Vara," Viceroy said.

Vara chose silence, he felt unable to win when he had to argue with Viceroy. It is better for Vara to fall asleep immediately to expel his fatigue.

Viceroy threw himself on the floor, staring at the ceiling with a huff. It looks like it will be difficult for Viceroy to regain Vara's heart which seems so disappointed with their divorce. Viceroy really had to think of the right strategy to win Vara's heart again.

...*****...

Viceroy stopped the car he was driving in front of the main gate leading to the Victory Group company building. Security officers who guard the main gate area must of course carry out procedures for guests who come to visit the company complex area. There are seven corporate buildings in the complex. Viceroy recalled that he always picked up Vara in front of the main gate because he was not allowed to enter the company complex without carrying an official letter. Viceroy himself did not know where Vara worked because they never discussed work together.

I don't know why Ryo is still renting the building for his company. Unlike Viceroy who bought land and built company buildings. That's how Ryo is, he just wants to be practical.

Viceroy stopped the car in the parking lot of the Ryo company building. He certainly must start to fix the company he has taken over in full. He has also coordinated with several company officials in order to convey about the acquisition of Victory Group ownership.

...*****...

Sofia sat in Pak Ryo's chair. He feels he already holds full power over Victory Group because Mr. Ryo who is currently still undergoing surgery in the hospital after having a heart attack.

"Sofia's Headmistress" so Sofia asked all the employees to call her.

Sofia went around looking at the employees who were busy working. He himself really has no job because there is nothing he can do but gossip with his gang members.

"This is Mr. Ryo's company, I'm Mr. Ryo's sister-in-law, it's clear this company is mine!" sofia said proudly.

"Sophia! Stop that shit!"

Sofia turned towards the thunderous sound that made Sofia's heart almost come out of shock. The man with the glare of sharp and icy eyes threw a cynical look that intimidated Sofia.

"Ro-Roy," Sofia stuttered.

All eyes were immediately fixed on the foreign figure in a beautiful manner, but it looked so stiff and cold. It was seen that Mr. Ari was already behind the figure.

"Why are you here, Roy?" asked Sofia stammered.

"Why can't I be in my own company?" Viceroy asked back.

"Oh, well, is this company ours?" Sofia.

"We?!" viceroy asked in a cold tone.

"Yes, we'll be husband and wife, whatever you have will be mine too, won't we?" Sofia tried to smile which was more visible as a sneer.

Right now all eyes are on him.

"Sofia, don't even dream of being my wife!" viceroy said with his ice-cold voice.

"Sir Ari, please gather all managers, the coordination meeting must be held immediately" Viceroy told Mr. Ari.

"Well, Mr. Roy," replied Mr. Ari.

Viceroy immediately stepped away leaving Sofia who was sculpting and trying to resist her embarrassment.

"Sofia, that's Roy's sister, Mr. Ryo, huh?" ask Dinda.

"True," Sofia replied stuttering.

"Oh, that's your future husband's man, huh?" ask Imel.

"I-iya," Sofia replied still trembling.

"Did that guy hate you? He even said such a horrible thing to you," Alya said.

Sofia could only curse in the heart. She was really upset by the treatment of her future husband. Could it be that in the presence of all the people Viceroy said such a horrible thing?

It really makes Sofia's self-esteem freefall. Everyone finally came to know that it turns out that Sofia is not yet the sister-in-law of Mr. Ryo.

...*****...

Vara just arrived at the office after lunch. He was granted half-day permission because he felt bad. It feels like he is really lazy to go back to work because he already feels half-hearted.

"Vara, it turns out that Sofia is not yet Pak Ryo's sister-in-law!" mama Rani said as soon as Vara sat behind her desk.

"Well, how can you? How's the story, Mommy?" ask Vara.

"So his sister Pak Ryo came to the office and managed to silence Sofia who had been really acting like a company" replied Rani.

"Never dream of being my wife" Rani imitated the man's words.

"Well, it's amazing that a person who is ashamed will be ashamed, yes, like that!" said Vara.

"Originally, if I were Sofia, I could hang myself in a chili tree! Hehe," Rani's mother chuckled.

"Sister Ryo, what is as handsome as Mr Ryo, Ma'am?" ask Vara.

"Of course it's handsome, it's just so cold and stiff, like a dry canoebo," replied Mbak Rani who again chuckled.

"Oh yes, Vara, later afternoon after work, do you want to come see Mr Ryo?" ask Rani.

"It's a pity that our boss, is so young, has had a heart attack, even though the age is also not four heads" said Mbak Rani.

"Look at it later, Ma'am," said a seemingly lazy Vara.

He still feels annoyed at the treatment of Mr. Ryo who according to Vara is unfair. Vara was sentenced to a two-week suspension for her wrongdoing, which was deemed dangerous in the work environment.

...*****...

Ryo smiled in a knot welcoming the arrival of some female employees who came to visit him. Ryo's eyes were fixed on the figure of Vara who seemed silent among the employees.

"All of you, thank you for taking the time to visit me" said Ryo.

"Cheal fast, sir," they said.

"You alone, sir?" ask Luna.

"What's the matter, Luna, are you asking that question?" ask Rani.

"Well, who knows, Mr. Ryo wants me to accompany, hehe," said Luna, chuckling.

Suddenly the words of Luna immediately got a long huu from the karyawati.

Ryo covered his smile.

"How are you doing, is there a problem?" ask Ryo.

"Oh, Mr. Ryo, you better rest completely, do not have to think about work first" said Mbak Rani.

"Alright, sir, it looks like we have to leave, so you can get back to rest" Rani gave the command to her friends.

"Once again thank you to all colleagues," said Ryo.

"Together, sir, we'll excuse you."

"Oh yes, Miss Vara, can you stay a while? There are things we have to talk about" Ryo said to prevent Vara's departure.

"Okay, sir," replied Vara.

...*****...

Vara immediately sat on the sofa, again her heart rumbled. In his mind questions sprang up storming.

What does Mr. Ryo want to talk about, huh?

Is Mr Ryo going to fire me?

Is Mr Ryo suing me?

"Mom Vara."

Vara's daydreams were spoiled when Mr. Ryo called his name.

"I would like to personally apologize to you," Mr. Ryo said as he reviewed his smile.

"I'm sorry for Sofia's demeanor that's been insulting you."

"Sir Ryo, why are you apologizing when you are not wrong" said Vara.

"Bu Vara, I actually feel guilty for letting Sofia do as she pleases, you deserve to be angry with me" said Mr. Ryo staring straight at Vara.

Vara lowered her head, at this moment she really did not want to discuss the matter of Sofia's treatment of him. Boiling her blood if she has to go back to remembering Sofia's scorn on Vara.

"Bu Vara, do you know, I came to think that this incident happened to me is the way God rebukes me who has been unfair to you" said Mr. Ryo.

"You mean the punishment of a superior who has wronged his employees?" ask Vara seraya chuckling.

Mr. Ryo laughed.

"What is that, Miss Vara?" ask Mr. Ryo.

"Title soap opera on television, sir, my father used to watch it every night," replied Vara.

"Well, it's spooky, the title" said Mr. Ryo, laughing.

"There's something even more sinister, sir, usually the title is like this, Azab is a seditious person, his body splashed in the comberan, thrown into a mountain of garbage, hit by a meteor, and can not be buried because it was rejected by the earth," beber Vara's.

"Haha," Ryo laughed again.

...*****...

Virda had just arrived at the hospital, and he was tired of going back and forth to the hospital. But he had to do it because Ryo was completely alone. Ryo did not allow his mother's extended family to visit or take care of him as long as he was cared for on the grounds that he wanted calm.

Virda opened the door of the VIP room where Ryo was being treated. His eyes were immediately fixed on the figure of the woman sitting on the sofa while chatting casually with Ryo.

Virda was stunned as he and the young lady stood face to face. 

"Mother," Ryo greeted Virda who seemed speechless in front of the entrance.
