The Marrying Bet

The Marrying Bet
Visit to the Cafe



Ryo drove his car slowly, watching Vara who seemed tense. Really Ryo felt guilty, because that day he was so panicked, his concentration broke because it got less pleasant news. Ryo turns on the music to break the silence that was going on between them. 


"Bu Vara, I'm sorry, because the other day driving recklessly," Ryo said.


Vara could only be silent, he could not possibly express how upset he was to his superiors. Want to vent anger, where brave.


"Thank you you can understand, sir," Vara said at last.


"Bu Vara, is there a song you want to hear? is there a certain genre you like?" ask Ryo.


"I am a fan of all genres" replied Vara.


Ryo chose to turn on the radio. A song from a legendary band with a song that is so legendary immediately filled the entire luxury car Ryo.


The song titled 'Message of Hearts' which instantly made them drift away.


I can make you


Fall in love with me


Even if you don't love


to me


Ryo glanced at Vara, seeing Vara humming a little following the song. Vara became remembered, the song was indeed his favorite song when he was in school. Every day friends in Vara's class sing the song while strumming the guitar. 


Ryo parked his car into the parking area of a luxury cafe whose location was so closed and far from the city center. Ryo got off and immediately opened Vara's car door. They both walked down the path on the right-hand side filled with tropical plants.


Vara really does not understand, why did Mr. Ryo not drive him home according to negotiations at the beginning?


The sea breeze immediately hit Vara's body, Ryo immediately invited Vara to sit at one of the empty tables, and, it is located not far from the acoustic band of singers who are entertaining cafe visitors who only a few people. Given how luxurious and exclusive this place is, the majority of visitors are international citizens.


The cafe waiter approached them with a menu. Vara did not dare to order a menu that did not have a price list. This place is as luxurious as the price of food and drinks must be very expensive.


"Please choose what Bu Vara wants" Ryo said.


Ryo furrowed his brows.


"Mom Vara, we've come all the way here, why only drink mineral water?" ask Ryo.


"I like mineral water" replied Vara.


Mineral water is definitely the cheapest than other drinks whose names are strange, according to Vara. Vara observes the cozy surroundings of the cafe, the dim lighting of the torch flame, the bright night sky, and the gentle sea breeze, really makes the atmosphere so romantic. Vara so thought, if he brought Viceroy to this place, surely the man would not. This place is very exclusive, luxurious, and certainly very expensive. Mini bar snacks in hotels alone are considered very expensive, let alone hanging out in a luxurious place like this. If it can be free for what to pay, it becomes the principle of the man's life.


For Vara, it was only natural that Viceroy was like that, because the man was not a fixed income like Vara who received a salary every month. Moreover, comparing Viceroy with the leadership of this company. Of course it is impossible to compare. Although both of them had equally handsome faces, Viceroy only lost his fate. It would be foolish for Vara to compare Viceroy to Mr. Ryo. It was the same as comparing the commoners with the king.


Vara rolled her eyes, why did she think of Viceroy?


Though at this time it could be that Mr. Ryo is continuing the exam for Vara so that Vara gets a promotion as a permanent employee. Vara feels lately her quiet life has become full of tests. The exam of Mrs Meneer aka Viceroy's mother, then the test of Mr Ryo, in the future who else will test Vara?


Ryo smilingly looked at Vara who seemed to be thinking hard. He really wanted to know what the woman was thinking, but he was too shy. 


Ryo walked up to the singer on stage. Vara stared in surprise as the man took over the guitar from the guitarist. Ryo smiled towards Vara, who was looking at him in astonishment. 


Vara was flabbergasted that Ryo was actually strumming the guitar while singing one of Vara's favorite songs they had heard on the radio on the way to the cafe. Vara felt really did not expect his boss is good at playing guitar and his voice was good. In Vara's eyes, Mr. Ryo looks more and more glittering. As long as he strummed the guitar and sang, the man was unceasingly smiling as he looked at Vara. Within a moment, Vara was drowning in wishful thinking. 


The man had everything that the woman who admired him wanted. The man had a beautiful face, with a charming smile, as well as a treasurer. There are so many women who want it. If and only if Vara was given the opportunity to accompany a great man like Mr. Ryo, it must be that Vara's life is not what it is today. He may live in a comfortable luxury home with all sorts of well-equipped luxury facilities. Maybe for the bath there is an assistant who will bathe him, dress him in beautiful clothes, and dress Vara like a living doll. 


Vara and her mother probably won't go into a prolonged cold war like this. His mother will certainly be really proud because the daughter who has been equipped with various important things to support Vara to be the wife of a great person gets a great man. His mother would be very proud to have a daughter-in-law who is not only handsome, but also a millionaire, which makes all the neighbors so envious to hear how lucky Vara is to have a husband like Mr. Ryo. Successful entrepreneurs who own large companies with abundant wealth.


His mother may not be coming home, because she has a daughter-in-law who is so perfect in fulfilling her ego.


Making Riko and her nyinyir family silenced, because Vara can get a man more than Riko who feels pretentious is needed once. Vara will really live in a golden cage which of course makes him lose more freedom. Because marrying a man as great as Mr. Ryo, definitely can not be free to do anything. Because all Vara's movements will be monitored by a twenty-four-hour cctv camera, there may even be a tracker implanted in Vara's body so that Vara's whereabouts are easily tracked.


Then there will be so many women who try to shift Vara's position as Pak Ryo's wife. 


Vara's daydreams are up because her phone is ringing, Vara smiles staring at the name on her phone screen.
