The Marrying Bet

The Marrying Bet
Marriage Budget



Riko sat in her apartment. He wanted Vara to be his wife, so that his mother would be happy. Riko knows, she used to choose Laras wrongly to be a wife, but she does not regret because she does love Laras. Especially Bu Muji, Aunt Riko said how much Vara's mother wanted Riko to be her daughter-in-law. Even reportedly, if Riko is willing to rearrange her match with Vara, Vara's mother will persuade Vara to be separated from her husband.


For Riko, maybe it's time to give up her dual status while making her mother happy. I don't know what Vara did, so her mother wanted Vara as a daughter-in-law. Indeed, while still married to Laras, the relationship between Laras and his mother is not too good. Given how busy Laras was with his work, Laras seemed to ignore his in-laws. Laras always cancels the promises he has made on the grounds that there is important work to be done every time Riko's mother holds a dinner party in order to gather the family. 


Riko starts to calculate the budget he must prepare to apply for Vara. He had to make the wedding reception more luxurious and grander than when he married Laras first. He could have borrowed funds from the bank, but he did not want to owe after marriage. It's better that he resells the house he bought from Vara's parents. After marriage, he can stay at his parents' house so that Vara can accompany his mother. Her mother needs friends so as not to be lonely considering Riko is the youngest of three brothers and two brothers living in another city.


As Riko's apartment door opened, Laras's figure barged in. The woman was surprised to find Riko who appeared to be struggling in front of the papers scattered on the dining table. 


"Tumben you're here, Laras," said Riko.


"Almost," replied the Barrel briefly. "What are you doing? Calculating the wedding budget? You want to marry again?" tanya Laras picked up and read one of the papers that were on the dining table.


"That's how it is" Riko answered briefly.


"Well, it looks like you're going to make a wedding more luxurious and grander than our wedding before" commented Laras.


"You're right, that's why I had to sell my house, you're willing to buy it?" ask Riko.


"I'm not interested! After all, when I marry a rich man, I will live in a more luxurious house!" answer Laras.


"Therefore, help me get Mr. Viceroy Royal Group!" laras.


"Oh, my God, Laras, are you crazy?! Find another rich man, not my boss! Where will I put my face?! What will people say when my ex-wife marries my boss! My pride could be broken!" riko Protest.


"Riko, when I marry Mr. Viceroy, I'll ask him to give you some capital, so you can build your own company!" laras.


"Sorry, Laras, I can't do it, Mr. Roy has been so kind to me! After all, the man is married, it's not nice to hear that the trigger of his household rift is due to a third party and it's you" Riko said.


"Riko, are you sure that man is married? Do you know who his wife is?" tanya Laras is looking for Riko.


"I'm more prepared to compete with Mr. Viceroy's real wife, than against a nonexistent enemy! It was just like a general election candidate going against an empty box!" cecar Barrel.


Riko was silent, until this moment he was also not sure that Mr. Roy had been married. The man had completely sealed off his personal life. A workaholic like Mr. Roy suddenly married suddenly, of course, very surprising.


"Let's go, Riko, you help me figure out who Viceroy's wife is! I've tried to do my own investigation and the results are nil! I guess that guy was just hallucinating!" Laras added.
