The Marrying Bet

Unplug My life

You can only breathe heavily many times. It feels like today so much has happened to his family in just the last few hours. His wife and daughter are two precious women in his life. You can't choose to defend who. His love for his wife is really as big as his love for his child. The dilemma of the man who lives between two loves is indeed very heavy.

"Vara, you've done enough to embarrass Mom and Dad! Can't you be a dutiful child?! This mother has had a hard time raising you! You are the only child of my mother! Mother's Pride! I'm preparing you to be a great woman, a woman who deserves to be with a great man! If you don't think about your future, why do you bother sending you high! Why did I bother educating you to be an expensive woman!" cecar Arvia's.

"Mother's upset you're stupid! Dikasih know parents to marry a nice guy like Riko instead choose the unclear juntrungannya! Look, you're finally a widow! Married for corn! You think you are what the capital artist is!" mom's still picking on Vara.

"Your obscure husband has finally left you!" continued mother.

"Mom, Vara is not abandoned! It was Vara who chose to leave Vara's husband, Mom!" said Vara.

"Already Vara, you must accept Riko's proposal! I don't want to hear any more excuses! Anyway you should marry Riko!" mother's toilet.

"Riko has come all the way here with her extended family! So appreciate their good intentions! You are already a widow! What can you be proud of from your body that has become a former person?!" scatter mom again.

"Thankfully Riko still wants to give you dowry, hold a massive wedding party, even though you are only a widow! You are no longer a virgin! Know yourself, yes!" mom still catches Vara with her horror.

"Already Mom, enough, Mom," said the father who felt mother had gone completely outrageous.

"Don't insult your own child that way!" tandas.

"Sir, I'm like this to let Vara become self-conscious! Love alone is not enough for household capital! Just forget about your ex-husband who simply cannot compare to the perfect Riko!" continued mother.

...*****...

Riko was surprised to see the arrival of her boss. He immediately went down the steps of the stage house and approached the man who immediately seized the attention of the villagers. Especially the women who for them really never saw such a handsome man come to their village.

What a dazzling beauty. The man was tall in a black suit that wrapped his body perfectly. His white skin with black and well-groomed hair really grabbed attention.

"There are people coming down from the sky!" that's how the villagers cried out.

"Is he an angel?!"

Riko laughed in his heart, if Mr. Roy is an angel, of course he is an angel of life. His almighty rage every time it was angry was truly soul-shaking. Riko really salutes the woman who has become the wife of the man. It was possible that the woman's eardrum had broken so that she could not hear the man's nagging anymore.

"Sir Roy" said Riko.

"Loh, Mr. Riko," the Viceroy replied greeting Riko.

"What are you doing here, sir?" ask Riko astonished.

"Just ask these gentlemen," Viceroy said as he opened his sunglasses and put them in his pocket in his suit.

Herdi and Mr. Gunawan can only duck. They really felt they had no face because they were finally forced to contact their big boss to come face a citizen who made them wave at the camera. But they know, even though their boss is chasing them all out, but the man still comes to take the time to solve this problem.

"All in all, let's introduce him is Mr. Riko, the financial manager of the Royal Group. He is based in the head office, "Viceroy introduced the team from his palm oil plantation project to Riko.

"Greetings know everything" said Riko.

The men nodded back to Riko's greeting.

Viceroy frowned seeing the large number of people gathered at the stage house. It looks like there's a hawker event being held in that house.

"Pak Riko, are you seriously holding a proposal event? Why so many, what does it mean there are many banana trees, sugarcane trees, to livestock? Is this all you're preparing?" asked Viceroy in astonishment.

"It's not me sir, all this was prepared by the man to propose to my future wife," Riko replied as she set her sights on the eccentric looking man still standing on the porch of the house.

"Well, what an intention," Viceroy was astonished.

"That's how sir, his name is also a village person, carelessly play mouse over the future wife of people," said Riko.

"It looks like your future wife is not a careless woman huh, Mr. Riko, until it can make a man come to bring a banana as tree!" viceroy said hiding his smile.

Either what kind of woman is proposed by Riko until there are other men who also come to propose to him by carrying this crowded procession. Viceroy was astonished. He even only brought himself when he proposed to Vara.

Maybe what Riko is asking for is kampung flowers, Viceroy thought.

"Far as well yes, Mr. Riko, you look for a soul mate up to a remote place like this," Viceroy said.

"Actually I had been betrothed to my future wife, only seven years ago I refused, but now I have been steady to marry her, especially now she is widowed, so our positions are the same," Riko explained.

"Oh well, the soul mate is not going anywhere, Mr. Riko," commented Viceroy.

"By the way Mr Roy, who are you here to see?" ask Riko.

"According to the information I received, I had to meet Mr. Slamet to negotiate" Viceroy replied.

"Oh, Mr. Slamet is my future in-law, sir," said Riko.

"Well, what a coincidence," said Viceroy.

"Please sir, Mr. Slamet is inside" said Riko.

Viceroy immediately climbed the steps one by one, Riko followed him. Meanwhile, Mr. Takur's sharp gaze immediately welcomed Viceroy's presence on the terrace of the stage-style house.

"Who else is this guy?! Want to propose to his son, too, Mr Slamet?!" spray Mr. Takur.

Viceroy just kept quiet, ignoring the eccentric looking man.

Sorry, I'm not interested in the village fireworks! Think Viceroy.

"Look, for a second Oreng came with all my money! Move aside, you guys don't have money!" chirps Mr. Takur.

"Oh, the old one is also the Olin!" mister Takur was upset.

Mr. Takur should not be inferior to the man who had just come by the helicopter that was parked in the yard. The helicopter is even now a spectacle of the villagers.

It was seen that the male members drove the residents who tried to get closer to the helicopter.

"Don't think you have a plane, then I lose to you! I have more money!" mister Takur.

"Sir Roy, will you wait on the porch or go straight in, sir?" ask Riko.

"I just wait on the porch, it's not good because it's not welcome to enter by the owner of the house," replied Viceroy.

"Well sir, then, I call Mr. Slamet," said Riko.

...*****...

Riko immediately entered the house, he immediately approached his parents who seemed still silent a thousand languages. Mr. Rusdy and Ms. Rumi were still deep in their thoughts. They came to the village to meet Mr. Slamet's family. Mr. Rusdy and Mr. Rumi of course welcome Riko's intention to edit Vara as his wife.

"You're serious, Riko?" ask Mr. Rusdy when Riko expressed his desire to marry Vara.

"Seriously, Dad," Riko replied steadily.

"Did Vara agree to marry you?" ask Miss Rumi.

"Mother, Vara's mother has assured me that Vara will no longer have any reason to reject my proposal, Mom!" said Riko. "I realized I had made a mistake when I repeatedly refused the matchmaking that Father and Mother had bothered to arrange for me! Many times I refused when Vara was ready to marry me! So for me this is the right time to make up for my mistake," said Riko trying to convince her father and mother.

"Well Riko, I'll go with what you want" said Ms. Rumi.

"Yes, I also support whatever your decision is" Mr. Rusdy said.

"Dad," said Riko approaching Mr. Rusdy.

"What's up, Riko?" ask Mr. Rusdy.

"Can you please call Mr. Slamet?" ask Riko.

"Sir Slamet and his wife are still in the room with Vara" Rumi said.

"Dad, outside there was Mr. Roy coming to see Mr. Slamet," Riko explained.

"Sir Roy?" ask Mr. Rusdy.

"Roy, my badminton club member, Dad," said Riko.

"Oh, jeez! I haven't seen Roy in a long time" Mr. Rusdy said.

"Yes Dad, it's not nice to let an important person wait," Riko said.

"Alright, let Mother call Mr. Slamet," said Ms. Rumi immediately got up.

"Dad want to talk to Roy first then," said Mr. Rusdy.

Riko immediately followed her mother through the many people inside the house.

...*****...

Bu Muji, Bu Bejo, and Bu Rudy dikapak-kusuk with several other mothers who took part in the tour to the hometown of Bu Slamet in order to enliven the Riko application event. They were all stunned when they heard that Vara had rejected Riko's proposal. Vara is seen entering the room followed by her parents.

"Huh, if I were Miss Slamet yes, Vara it's already me hihh hihh," said Bu Muji while squeezing his wrist as if it was the neck.

"Awas Bu, the gold bracelet will come off, far away from the gold shop," said Bu Bejo.

"Yes, yes, Vara was already a widow, her behavior was a lot right! It's good that Riko has good faith to marry her!" cibir Mrs Rudy.

"Yes Ma'am, Riko is a real person, still insisting on marrying Vara! It's been so eager to spend a lot of money for a fancy party! It's a shame it's money for widows! If the virgin, naturally yes expensive dowry, the name is also a new item is still as slow as it is!" cibir Bu Muji is fiery.

"Sabar Bu Muji, it's Miss Slamet right again nego Vara, who knows Vara changed his mind," said Bu Bejo.

"What's that noise outside, Mom?" ask one of their neighbors.

"It must be the behavior of the villagers! Who said he wanted to propose to Vara too!" chirping Bu Muji.

"Well, wow, Vara is a widow even more in demand, yes," commented Ms. Rudy.

"Maklum Bu, his name also lives in the village, quickly, rivals are not much!" sahut Bu Bejo chuckled.

Bu Muji's eyes catch Riko and Bu Rumi who are seen knocking on the door of the room where Mr. Slamet's family gathered.

"What is Rumi doing?" ask Bu Muji.

"You're going to see Mr. Slamet" Rumi said before knocking on Vara's room door.

"For what? Mr. Slamet and Ms. Slamet are still nego-nego Vara, tuh," said Ms. Rudy.

"I'm trying to meet Mr. Slamet, Ms. Rudy," Riko chimed in.

"Wasn?!" they shouted they were flabbergasted.

"Oh my goodness, Riko, your boss came here! You're taking the proposal too?" asked Bu Muji while laughing.

"Sorry Auntie, it's not like that story," said Riko as she chuckled.

"Huh, try to seduce your boss, who knows if it could be the main sponsor for your wedding, Riko," said Bu Bejo.

Riko chuckled, Mr. Roy did not even hold his wedding reception.

"Mom-mother, it will be thought that my boss who married Vara if he asked for a sponsor," said Riko still chuckled.

"So, where's your boss?" ask Mrs Rudy.

"He was waiting on the terrace" replied Riko.

"Well, Riko, why aren't you welcome?" ask Bu Muji.

"She is sad because it has not been invited to enter by the owner of the house, Auntie," replied Riko.

"Well, that's very polite of your boss! High ethical, yes," commented Bu Muji.

"Riko, try to be introduced, who knows who can be introduced to my nephews," said Ms. Rudy chuckling.

"Sorry Mrs Rudy, my boss is married" said Riko.

"Oh so, who knows find a new wife, my husband's niece is beautiful, you know," said Ms. Rudy insisted.

"Well, don't dare me, Miss Rudy," said Riko, chuckling.

"So curious, want to see what Riko's boss is like," said Bu Bejo.

"It must have twisted the dong, Bu Bejo!" sahut Bu Muji's.

...*****...

Mr. Slamet immediately opened the door to Vara's room. Rumi smiled at the doorway. Ms. Rumi could see the tension going on in Mr. Slamet's family.

"Sir Slamet, sorry to interrupt, there are people who want to meet with Mr. Slamet," said Ms. Rumi.

"Oh, so," said Mr. Slamet.

"Sir Slamet, Miss Slamet, may I have a word with Vara?" ask Miss Rumi.

"Oh yes, please, ma'am," said Mr. Slamet and his wife quickly.

Vara and Bu Rumi looked at each other as soon as father and mother came out of Vara's room. Bu Rumi immediately sat on the floor and faced towards Vara.

"Bu Rumi, forgive Vara, Vara does not want to marry Riko because Vara already loves another man," Vara said with tears that began to flow.

"Vara, don't cry, it really doesn't matter to Mom if Vara does reject Riko's proposal" said Bu Rumi.

"Mommy understands very well, love cannot be forced, Vara has the right to be happy even if not with Riko," continued Bu Rumi while wiping tears on Vara's cheeks.

Vara immediately hugged Rumi. Miss Rumi of course felt sad because a woman as beautiful and as good as Vara was not willing to be her son-in-law. The middle-aged woman really understood that Vara was reluctant to marry Riko because she felt disappointed due to Riko's attitude which was considered so inconsistent. Many times Riko refused when he would be betrothed to Vara for various reasons, ranging from still wanting to pursue a career, focusing on a career, to finally marrying another woman.

...*****...

Mr. Slamet and Arvia came out of Vara's room. Arvia is soon joined by Bu Muji and colleagues, while Pak Slamet is immediately greeted by Riko.

"How about, Miss Slamet?" ask Bu Muji.

"I'm sorry it feels like I'm this, Mom," complained Arvia.

"Vara is yes, still insisting on not accepting Riko's proposal! Wonder me that! What's so good about her ex-husband that Vara still defends that useless man?!" furious Arvia.

"Maybe the sex is good, Miss Slamet, so Vara can not forget," said Ms. Rudy while chuckling.

"Yes, don't just put the bird in the cage, Mom," Bu Bejo laughed.

"Yes, the woman was if it had gotten good for the bird, how could it forget," Bu Muji laughed.

"All the birds, let the sex word god level if there is no money, want to buy rice with what?" cibir Arvia's.

Bu Muji laughed loudly followed by his neighbors.

...*****...

"Atasan Riko wants to see you?" ask Mr. Slamet to Riko as they head to the porch of the house.

"Yes sir, Mr. Roy of the Royal Group is my superior" replied Riko.

Mr. Slamet frowned as soon as he saw the negotiators who were already sitting on the terrace. Mr. Slamet's eyes were fixed on the figure sitting back at the entrance. The figure of a man in black who is currently talking to Mr. Rusdy.

Hoo, so this is his mafia boss, thought the Father as he nodded.

"Sir Roy," call Riko.

Viceroy heard Riko's voice calling out to him. He looked at her before getting up from his seat. His eyes caught the figure of a middle-aged man wearing a party t-shirt and shorts with a beach view below his knees. Mr. Slamet seems to be a fan boy party because it is not the campaign period but still wears a T-shirt with a picture of the party.

How come this middle-aged man looks like Vara's father, huh? thought Viceroy.

Likewise with Mr. Slamet who could not take his eyes off the figure of a man with sharp eyes that are so intimidating in a black suit that makes the man look so luxurious.

How come this guy's like Vara's husband, huh? thought Mr. Slamet.

The two men looked at each other and made the atmosphere so tense. Herdi can understand the situation, facing Mr. Slamet does require a strong mentality.

"Master Takur!" exclamation Oleng.

The tiny man was visibly bored as he pushed a large suitcase as he climbed the stairs.

"Long your age, Oreng! The length of time I've waited, until I've covered it!" Mr. Takur immediately pulled the big suitcase.

"Sir Slamet, this is extra dowry money for Sister Vara! If it's less then I'll tell you to take it again!" Mr. Takur immediately opened a suitcase containing piles of money in front of Mr. Slamet.

Vara's? Viceroy.

"Excuse me, rich man of the village," Herdi's sergeant to Mr. Takur.

Mr. Takur was knocked out as the men behind Herdi directly snatched Mr. Takur away from their boss.

"Sir Slamet, he is Mr. Roy, the leader of the Royal Group you are looking for" said Herdi.

Viceroy lost his word. He really still did not believe the situation that was currently happening before him. His brain thought as quickly as possible to process all the information. If the man in front of him is Mr. Slamet, meaning the land owner he must meet turns out to be his father Vara, it means Vara is in this house. Then the woman proposed by the eccentric man and also Riko is Vara!

Viceroy tried not to mix his personal affairs with work. Right now his main purpose of coming all the way to this place was to finish his work.

"Sir Slamet," said Viceroy disperse Sir Slamet's daydream.

Mr. Slamet looked at the man in front of him with all the worries that pervaded in his tribe. He doubted, was this man before him really his former daughter-in-law, or was it just a man who happened to look like his former daughter-in-law? Mr. Slamet certainly can not directly judge the man. This man had an extremely intimidating aura, completely different from his former daughter-in-law. It would be a shame if he just called it. Moreover, the man in front of Mr. Slamet is a great person, of course Mr. Slamet should not be careless.

"Sir Slamet, introduce me Viceroy Lavais, I came here to negotiate with you" Viceroy reached out his hand.

"Se-Slamet," Mr. Slamet welcomed Viceroy's hand.

"Samlet sir, Mr. Roy, should talk at home, outside too crowded," suggested Riko.

Mr. Slamet was still so tense when he entered the house. Riko asks her family to get out of the house and wait on the terrace.

...*****...

"Momens, can you please move to the terrace first?" riko asked the group of mothers sitting near the kitchen.

"Well why, Riko?" ask Bu Muji.

Not yet Riko answered, Arvia immediately got up to her husband. The figure of a tall and handsome man could not be forgotten by Arvia. Although the man was wearing a neat suit and looked manglingi, Arvia still could not forgive the man who had robbed her of his child. Making the obedient Vara a dissident child.

"Huh, look who's coming! You still dare to show yourself! You are shameless!" cecar Arvia towards Viceroy.

All eyes were on Arvia. The atmosphere instantly stiffened for a moment.

"Mom Slamet, don't be so angry, his blood pressure will rise" said Bu Muji who approached Arvia.

"Wh, by the way, this handsome guy looks exactly like her husband Vara, huh? Uh, that means her ex-husband Vara," said Bu Rudy observing the figure of the handsome man before them.

"Yes yes, very similar" said Bu Bejo.

"Huh! She is Vara's ex-husband!" furious Arvia.

Riko felt her body was struck by lightning and her head was hit by a beam hearing Arvia's words.

"Mother, I mean, this man is Vara's ex-husband?" ask Mr. Slamet.

"Oh father, so his glasses are worn! How can you not recognize Vara's ex-husband? Let's just say he wears this cloak still can't fool my healthy eyes!" arvia continued with her unfriendly attitude.

Mr. Slamet seemed unable to cover his surprise. So does Riko who looks pale. Blood seemed to disappear from his face.

It's a lie, there's no way Mr. Roy is Vara's ex-husband!

"Mother, sorry, Mom," Riko interrupted Arvia's remark.

"What's up, Riko?" ask Arvia.

"W-Are you sure about what Mom said? This guy in front of us is Vara's ex-husband?" riko asked with indescribable horror.

"Of course, Riko, this guy was so embarrassing that I was reluctant to expose him! What is there to be proud of from an uneducated fishmonger like this guy?! It really can't compare to you being so perfect and perfectly suited to accompany Vara!" arvia said so enthusiastically.

Viceroy seemed to be trying as calmly as possible. He was trained to control his emotions. Putting up a poker face was already his forte.

Riko's face was completely pale as pale as he was. How could this man who had everything in his eyes be a man who sounded despicable in the eyes of his future in-laws?

Does his future father-in-law not know who Mr Roy is?

What a despicable deed of a Riko who is just a slave to the peril of Pak Roy who is all-powerful over everything in the universe of the Royal Group. Riko had committed a great sin because he wanted the widow of his boss.

Riko's soul thrashed as if he was about to leave his body.

Lord, take away the life of the servant now! Riko's screams in the heart.

The angel of death, hastily taken my life! Unplug it! No need to wait that way! Shouted Riko in silence.

"Oh yeah, Riko, by the way where's your boss? How not to get in?" ask Bu Muji.

"Well, Riko's boss is coming?" ask Arvia.

"Yes Bu Slamet, that helicopter is still parked in front of the house" said Bu Bejo.

"Riko, get in your boss first!" said Arvia.

My boss has been in since, Mom! Oh my God, take my life now! Riko's mind was seen covering her sense of despair.

"Oh yeah, by the way, what are you doing here? Do you want to witness Vara's marriage to her new husband?" arvia asked towards Viceroy.

"Mother, stop it" said Mr. Slamet reprimanding Arvia.

"This father why the hell is still defending his former daughter-in-law who is not this much?!" sergeant Arvia.

"Mother Slamet, I really appreciate your decision! Sorry in advance, I didn't come here to see Vara's wedding to her new husband!" viceroy said calmly.

"Good then, you're self-conscious too!" said Arvia.

"Then, then, I came here as the owner of the Royal Group who came to discuss the land problem of Mr. Slamet who must immediately find a bright spot so that the expansion project of my palm oil plantation area can run according to the schedule that has been set," Viceroy explained at length.

"What's? Royal Group? Riko, don't you work for the Royal Group?" ask Bu Muji towards Riko.

Riko who was pale looked weakly nodding.

"Yes Aunty, and this is my boss" replied Riko who tried hard when making eye contact with Viceroy.

In the head of Riko at this time he seemed to see Mr. Roy dancing with members of a beautiful female idol group from the country of ginseng. The man seemed to be awakening Riko from his deed who had dared to try to take the empress from the king, while Riko was just a despicable commoner.

"Look at you, now look at me! Look at you, now look at me! Ha! How you like that! Shuffled! Shuffled!"

"Richo!!"

There was a cry along with the loss of Riko's consciousness.
