The Marrying Bet

Riko's Desire

"Vara," said Riko who was confidently sitting in the gazebo.

Vara looked stiffened, Santika was seen silently observing.

"It's a coincidence to meet here, Vara," said Riko focused on Vara's tiny lips that looked red, looking so tantalizing in Riko's eyes.

Vara was just silent, staring at Riko who was seen looking at him with interest. Riko is reluctant to admit that Vara is indeed so attractive to his male instincts. Riko was stunned, because Vara looked so fresh as a ripe fruit. Makes Riko so imagine, what is behind the loose dress that Vara wore.

"Say my mother, she met you" said Riko kindly.

"Yes," answered Vara briefly.

"You look different from the last time we met," Riko said, noting a slanted smile.

Vara chose to ignore Riko, Vara continued her activities peeling mangoes.

"Vara, how are your mom and dad?" ask Riko.

"That's fine," replied Vara.

"Vara, I'm sorry when we last met, really, I was just carried away by emotions, because incited slanted news about you, really all because I care about you, Vara," said Riko.

Riko often hears about Vara from Bu Muji. Bu Muji is also still actively communicating with Vara's mother. Moreover, according to Bu Muji, Vara's mother still has not received Vara's marriage with her husband. For Vara's mother, only Riko deserves to accompany Vara. 

...*****...

That day, Vara's mother contacted Bu Muji as Riko's aunt who was so trusted by Vara's mother. Vara's mother certainly got information about Vara from the news delivered by Bu Muji. The sloping news of Vara who often in and out of luxury hotels to peddle his body was not spared into the chatter that must be conveyed by Bu Muji to Ms. Vara. Although finally the news is just news, because in fact Vara still lives with her husband who is just a handsome face but not at all comparable to Riko who is so perfect in the eyes of Vara's mother. Vara's mother was ashamed that Vara was married to a man who did not meet the criteria of his dream daughter-in-law.

"Mr Muji, please help talk to Riko, is there still a chance to reset the match?" ask Vara's mother when talking to Bu Muji by phone.

"Mom Slamet, why is that? Wasn't Vara married, I was there to meet Vara and her husband, they looked fine," Bu Muji replied provoking Vara's mother.

"Really, Mom, I'm not here calm, my son's mind, how he lives his life, is he living a decent life or not? I'm so embarrassed, Mom. Every time someone asks my son, I choose to avoid!" said Vara's mother.

"Yes, how else, ma'am, instead of anything, Vara seems to choose a husband just from the looks of it, yes," said Bu Muji.

"Yes, there it is, Mom. Therefore, I have not been able to accept their marriage, whichever way I want to accept the man who was obviously chosen by Vara!" said Vara's mother. 

"That's it, ma'am," said Bu Muji.

"Bu Muji must know for myself, I have prepared Vara from the beginning is only for Riko, it is really upset that there are other men who immediately reap the results of my efforts!" continued Vara's mother.

"True, Mom, my niece is indeed the best man of the best, a lot of women are queuing up, Riko is a popular widower!" said Bu Muji again.

"Right, Mrs Muji, Riko is truly a perfect man, handsome and well-established, truly proud!" continued Vara's mother.

...*****...

"What do you think, Vara? Your mother even prefers me over your husband! If you are a devoted child of parents, you should fulfill their wishes" said Riko, who recalled her tantalizing conversation with Vara's mother.

After Riko thought about it, it didn't matter if she considered her rematch with Vara. When Vara is widowed, he is ready to marry Vara. It's okay that Vara bears the status of a widow, rather than a spinster. Moreover, the widow is of course very experienced, so Riko does not need to teach what Vara must do to satisfy her.

Is mommy out of her mind?

Vara has to talk to mom. The cold war with his mother absolutely cannot be allowed to drag on.

Does Vara need to follow her mother to the village? 

Because really, Vara's mother doesn't want to talk to Vara on the phone, every time Vara calls her father.

"Riko, thank you for your great concern, you're so busy, but still able to think about my family, I'm really moved by your attitude," said Vara who felt like vomiting so much nausea see Riko's attitude.

"Vara, I'll sell you the house I bought from your parents. I'll make your wedding party as luxurious as possible, I will live you properly and comfortably, without any shortcomings, I promise you a luxurious life that is the dream of all women," said Riko.

Santika looked at Vara who seemed to ignore the offers of a man who seemed to have a past with Vara. What is this man, is the man whose proposal was rejected by Vara?

"Leave your husband, Vara! A useless husband who can only humiliate your parents! Lookatme! I am the man who will make you and your parents proud! No one will dare to look you in the eye, because I am so perfect!" riko.

Santika gave a smile, the man in front of this was exactly like a drug seller who was claiming that the medicine he sold was a medicine. All the diseases suffered were instantly healed mercilessly.

"Eh, there's Mr. Riko!" said Ozy who had returned from the toilet.

Riko turned to look at Ozy.

"Lho, Ozy!" riko said surprised to see Ozy coming.

"Sir Riko, what a coincidence to meet here, was having a picnic too, sir," said Ozy who immediately sat beside Riko.

Vara doesn't think Ozy knows Riko. Vara looked at Santika who seemed to be spreading her shoulders.

"No, I had business with Mr. Roy" replied Riko.

"What?! Is there Mr Roy?" Ozy surprised.

"True, it seems like he made a work visit, it is impossible for him to come here just for a picnic" said Riko.

Ozy breathed a sigh of relief, thank God he did not meet Mr. Roy. It was enough every day to hear the man's screams as if he could knock down an office building. 

"Oh yes, Mr Riko, by the way why are you straying here?" ask Ozy in astonishment.

"I went to see Vara" Riko replied.

"Lho, Vara, do you know Mr Riko?" ask Ozy to Vara.

Riko looked at Vara who only replied with a smile.
