The Marrying Bet

The Marrying Bet
Only Similar



Ozy is actually a real man, only he is in a wooden style because he is the youngest child and the only son of six brothers. Ozy is very dear to the family, she is very close and familiar with all her brothers. His father was angry when he caught Ozy dressed up by his brothers wearing daughter clothes. He was also scolded by his father when he complained and cried because he was smeared by boys in class while still in High School. He was sacked for being too charismatic and a little complaining to the teacher.


Ozy blinked his eyes many times, rubbing his eyes, making sure that the handsome man standing in front of him was not someone he knew as the husband of a cooking classmate he had attended seven years ago. Ozy assures herself that it is possible that the man in front of her is just like Vara's husband. There is no way this super duper extraordinarily rich man is the husband of his friend. The man who only ordered white rice and finished the remaining food while eating together. Mas Handsome also claimed to be a fitness coach, so this man could not have been Vara's husband.


If indeed Vara's husband was this man, Vara couldn't possibly look so happy, he should be depressed and thin left to bone because he was always being yelled at by this man. Vara also did not need to bother anymore to work, because her husband is already rich, seven derivatives, and seven grades of his wealth will not run out. 


...*****...


Viceroy looked at Ozy with a look of disbelief, is it true that the wooden man who is a friend of his wife is his employee?


The man who even told him so dramatically how he was tormented worked in a company led by a monster who always rampaged and made his soul and body tormented. Was Viceroy that horrible in front of all his employees? It must be hard and firm so as not to be underestimated by its employees.


"What's wrong? Don't waste my time!" viceroy said ending the silence between them.


Ozy felt her heart stop beating, her body go limp instantly, like a candle melting from the heat of a fire. Ozy steeled herself. It's possible that this man isn't Mas Handsome, Vara's husband. It's possible that this man and Mas Handsome just happened to be similar, but different fates.


Viceroy is just silent, he has to maintain the professionalism of the work. The man before him is indeed a friend of Vara, but in this company, Ozy is his employee.


"Pe-submission estimates for payment of taxes, sir," said Ozy trembling because his boss was looking at him so sharply as to invite him to a fistfight.


"Just leave, I'll learn!" viceroy said coldly.


Ozy felt both scared and relieved. It turns out that this boss is not Vara's husband. This man he met had a stiff face, with cold eyes as sharp as ice. It is very different from the handsome Mas who is full of smiles and friendly. Ozy immediately walked out of his superior room with great relief. He could feel the life coming back into his body.


Same is the case with the cousins introduced by his mother when arranging an arranged match with Viceroy who was just graduating from school at the time. Her mother urged her to marry Pak Haji Badrun's son, still Viceroy's two-time cousin Amirah. Amirah's lifetime with Viceroy. In the eyes of Viceroy, Amirah at that time showed an attitude of not accepting because he was betrothed to a young man who did not have anything to be proud of.


"I don't want to marry my son without the dowry" Haji Badrun said.


"The dowry of each woman is different, the higher the diploma, the higher the dowry! My son has been well cared for, schooled, yes, no dowry, Brother Virda," said Bu Haji Badrun, Virda's cousin.


"Bu Haji, this is Roy, you can make your own money, if you are married later, there must be a fortune" Virda said. 


"Can't Brother Virda, what a big family says, my son has a school, but not appreciated, immediately taken for granted, painstakingly brought up but can't make his parents proud," refuse Mr. Haji Badrun.


"Not to mention, that Roy doesn't have a job, what would my son, Brother Virda feed? Amirah certainly also wants to be like other women, have a husband who can buy good clothes, daily shopping money, gold jewelry, houses, to cars! If Amirah is married to Roy, just buy rice may still ask for my brother, Virda," said Pak Haji Badrun.


Viceroy at that time did not know what to react to. He cannot be offended or angry. True what Mr. Haji Badrun said, Viceroy had nothing to support Amirah. 


Amirah was very happy at that time, because it was not so betrothed to Viceroy who could not even give him dowry money. Moreover, money for their daily lives later when married. For sure Viceroy will only be a benefactor for Pak Haji Badrun's family.


From then on, Viceroy could only try that later when married, he would be fully responsible for supporting his wife. He will look for a woman who is truly willing to live with him under any circumstances. Even when he is successful one day, he will look for women who do not see him as a man of wealth and enthroned.


Later, Amirah and the women who had been asked to be engaged to Viceroy would regret their decision, because they had rejected a man who had nothing until finally could have everything.
