The Marrying Bet

The Empty Hope Giver

All the way home, Vara was silent, Ozy and Santika looked. Ozy is of course surprised because Mr. Riko turns out to know Vara. And more surprisingly, it turns out they seem to have more relationships than just people who know each other. 

Really, a picnic that was planned to relax while eating fruit, leading to a state of tension. 

It is clear that the attitude of Vara who was always smiling cheerfully turned into more silence. As if Vara was uncomfortable with the presence of Riko who appeared in their midst and acted as if trying to familiarize themselves.

"Ozy, Santika, I want to go home" said Vara who was fed up with Riko's presence.

"Well, Vara, we're just sitting back, too" Ozy protested.

"Well, you can stay, I'll go home with Santika," Vara said to Santika.

"Yes, I also want to go home" said Santika who was more able to read the situation than Ozy.

"Vara, I'll take you home" said Riko.

"No, thank you, Riko," Vara refused.

Riko let out a sigh, she looked towards Vara, trying to keep her emotions from being ignited because Vara chose to be cold towards her.

"Well, Vara, please reconsider my offer, just consider it an opportunity I can give you, I'm doing this for our common good!" Riko continued with confidence.

"Then I'll see you, I'll wait for your good news, Vara!" riko said before stepping away leaving them. "Ozy, I'll see you tomorrow at the office!"

"Yes, Mr. Riko, I'll see you tomorrow" Ozy said, bowing his head.

...*****...

Ozy looked at Vara who was just silently staring out the window of the car that took them away from the picnic spot. 

"Ozy, look ahead!" said Santika who sat in the front seat, watching Ozy who was driving the car but intermittently turned to Vara because of anxiety at Vara.

"Oh, Vara, you've been daydreaming all the time, watch out for demon possession!" chirp Ozy.

"Ozy, Mr Riko is your boss?" ask Santika.

"Yes" Ozy replied.

"That fierce atmosphere of yours?" ask Santika.

"No, that's another, that fierce owner of the company. Mr. Riko is a financial manager, a kind and friendly person, very popular among women!" answer Ozy.

Santika ooh, he stole a glance at Vara. 

"Ozy, me and Vara would like to stop by the spa, please take us, yes" said Santika.

"Well, I'm coming too, yeah!" said Ozy.

Vara and Santika are immediately welcome officers at the reflexology and body care center that is Vara's subscription place to pamper yourself. Vara was very fond of taking Viceroy to this place. How the man was so excited to feel that reflexology looked so erotic in his eyes. Viceroy really seems like a plain guy who is busy with his own world. 

Vara immediately changed her clothes with a dark red bathrobe that the attendant had prepared in the locker room. 

"Sir Vara, please follow me," said therapist Vara escorting Vara to the treatment room.

"Sir Santika, please follow me," said Santika's therapist.

Vara reunites with Santika in a pool of warm water, next to which there is a cold water pool that seems empty without visitors. The sauna room also seemed quiet, there was only an officer standing guard near the locker room. Vara and Santika immediately soaked in a pool of warm water.

"Vara, that Riko, the man whose proposal you rejected, huh?" tanya Santika be careful.

"Right," Vara replied as she closed her eyes.

"Vara, isn't it wrong, your parents betrothed you to that kind of guy?" ask Santika not to believe it.

"No" answered Vara briefly.

It's sad if Vara has to go back to remembering things that should be forgotten.  

"Do you like that guy?" ask Santika.

"I don't like it or hate it, only, I've been so disappointed in what he did, especially my parents."

"What?!" Santika.

"Riko, he said, is handsome, from a good family, well educated, working in good company and having an important position! He was the perfect man in the eyes of my parents! My parents are disappointed I didn't marry him, San!" said Vara.

Santika said nothing.

"Twenty years old that man gave my parents empty dreams," Vara chuckled. "I am so grateful to my married husband! So I don't need to marry Riko!" continued Vara.

"You're right, Vara, you better watch out for him. How could he want such an openly married woman?! What a shameless thing!" rutuk Santika's.

After doing the spa, Vara and Santika immediately headed to the shopping center. They have not been together for a long time, Ozy of course still follows them. Vara and Santika enter a booth selling shoes and bags. Both of them were busy looking at their shoes and bags. Vara really wants to buy a new pair of shoes. Shoes without heels became Vara's favorite shoes, while Santika was very fond of high heels.

"Vara, it's beautiful, it's these shoes" said Santika showing off her soft pink shoes towards Vara.

"Beautiful, but the rights are like a pebble!" comment Ozy.

"You trying to wear it, Ozy?" ask Vara.

"Oh, I could break my leg if I fall!" cycad Ozy.

Santika and Vara then head to the store that sells underwear. Ozy is forced to wait outside the store, he certainly does not want to be considered a perverted man because he entered a women's lingerie store. Ozy just stole a glance, the underwear of what the two friends were looking for. Ozy's eyes were fixed on the mannequin displaying red underwear, making Ozy's face reddened at the thought of Santika wearing the underwear. Ozy hit his head against a nearby wall.

What a damned contemptible thought!

Vara stared at the soft pink lingerie that made her face red. In his mind he imagined wearing the lingerie and showed it to Viceroy.

"Vara, buy it already, don't look on," seduced Santika.

"Oh, what the hell," Vara became misbehaved.

"Or the leopard motif is sexy too!" goda Santika again.

"Oh, what the hell is San" said Vara.

"Why would your husband prefer to see you without lingerie, would you?!" goda Santika again.

Vara rolled her eyeballs, she was really pounding if she remembered the night where she and Viceroy had really been burning passion. He was really lulled by the Viceroy touch that seemed to paralyze his body. Makes it feel like flying into the clouds. But all must be stopped because Vara has not received the blessing of Viceroy's mother and his mother. He does not want to be accused of shortcuts to get blessing with pregnancy. Vara really wants to get blessing in accordance with the procedures set by the Queen Mother.
