The Marrying Bet

The Marrying Bet
Longs



Viceroy stared uneasily at the phone screen, looking at the photo of the sunset scene that became Vara's profile photo in her messaging app. Viceroy was upset whether he should call Vara or not. Only three nights he had not met Vara, it felt like time was rolling so slowly. Viceroy had no contact with Vara at all, hoping that the woman would contact him first. Is Vara okay? What the hell is he doing? 


Viceroy was curious, but he was too prestigious to call first. 


Vara had indeed complained to Viceroy, because the woman was very difficult to contact him. Indeed, Viceroy's phone won't stop ringing unless he turns it off. His three phones could even ring at the same time, as so many people were contacting. Though he has distinguished, one mobile phone for office affairs, one mobile phone for clients, and the other for personal use. Viceroy himself put the name Vara into a mobile phone specifically for clients, because during his first meeting with Vara, Viceroy considered Vara to be his client. So no wonder, if Vara calls, he will only contact Vara again after his conversation with other clients ends.


Many times Viceroy typed in a message that he then wiped back. It was easier to speak directly than to have to type a message, that was what he had in mind.


Viceroy chose to give in, he finally pressed the call button, and waited for the tone to connect. 


Should he make a video call?


Ah, but this is so embarrassing, the inner Viceroy wrestled.


He had even just finished his bath and was wearing a towel wrapped around his waist. Vara will definitely consider him a cheap man, who deliberately shows off to tease him.


"Viceroy," said Vara.


I heard the sound of music that was so loud.


"You haven't been back to the hotel?" ask Viceroy.


"Not yet" replied Vara.


"What time is it now? And you're still outside?" ask Viceroy.


Vara did not answer.


"Yes, I'll be back at the hotel" replied Vara.


"Back right now" Viceroy ordered.


"Why should I hurry back to the hotel? I'm lonely and scared!" sahut Vara's.


"You want me to come back now?" ask Viceroy.


Vara was silent.


Vara smiled, at this moment she was completely wrong.


"Tell me you miss me, I'll be back right now" Viceroy said.


"Don't joke, Viceroy, you even disappeared somewhere" said Vara.


"I'm not kidding, Vara," Viceroy said.


"Lost, I miss you" said Vara, laughing.


Viceroy hung up. He hurried to put on his clothes and packed his things.


"Sir Bagas, I have to go home first, see you at the office," Viceroy said, calling Mr. Bagas.


"Well, sir," replied Mr. Bagas astonished.


Though their flight schedule back to the homeland is tomorrow afternoon.


Viceroy did not care, he immediately contacted the pilot of his private jet to pick him up right now. He's going home to see the woman who misses him.


...*****...


"Thank you, Mr. Ryo, if you'll excuse me first" Vara told Ryo.


Vara asks Ryo to drive her to Santika's house. Meanwhile, Vara will admit that Santika's house is his home because Vara does not have a house. He could not have asked Mr. Ryo to take him to the hotel where he was staying. Rather than asking questions that need to be explained, this is better.


Ryo just kept quiet, it felt so hard to part with Vara. He held Vara's hand, pulled the woman's body into her lap and gave her a deep kiss on the tiny lips. There was a woman on top of this moaning and gasping at the same breath hunting him as Ryo's breath. Ryo held the woman's body, as if he didn't want to let go.


Ryo awakens from his daydream as soon as he hears his car door closed.


Vara got out of her car, opened the fence of a simple house, and knocked on the door.


Ryo immediately drove his car out of the house as soon as he saw Vara enter the house. Ryo pulled his car over on the side of the road.


He leaned his head, then took a breath and exhaled it so heavily. He really did not understand, why for a moment he fantasized like that. It's crazy and completely out of his mind. Ryo was even too old to flutter from falling in love.
