The Pawned Marriage
The Tested Couple
Dela sat in her office. The luxury office he kept his holdings from Reno.
In the eyes of Reno, Dela is still in the stage of continuing her father's efforts that had been abandoned.
A man came in.
“Bu, are you sure we will execute the plan for Mr Reno?”
“Yapc. Everything ready?”
“Siap. Pak Reno company will collapse ..”
“Just do it,” Dela's word while turning her chair towards the view of Bandung city.
“Good,” said the employee while inching away, reluctant to linger if his boss is in a bad mood.
“Ren, I will be a rescue angel and after that you will not want to separate from me,” Dela said with a sneaky grin.
***
Reno looked at the community of town house projects that suddenly broke.
His folly of spending time with Dela makes him negligent of his primary obligation as a business owner: ensuring his business runs on target.
Funds in his company are still invested in the company Dela but only returned gradually because of the disbursement term agreement.
“Sorry, Mr. Reno. In front of the gate there are buyers who demo because they know you are here,” said one foreman who just ran away in a hurry.
Reno nosed her nose. Not yet solved one problem now another problem comes.
After preparing mentally, Reno walked towards the gate.
His stupidity has been in vain. Time to face the consequences.
“Heh it Reno Bastian!” Shouted one of the customers.
“Good day Fathers and Mothers ..” Reno's voice hung from being cut off in an angry shout.
“No need to talk! Return our money or you we polisikan!”
“Eight months no progress!”
The buyers were already shouting, some cursing with harsh words.
“I bought this with retirement money because it will be sold again, now where? Reno you have to take responsibility!”
Wryly, Reno faced the disappointment of the buyers. He has experience building housing and town houses. His previous reputation was very good, but now it was falling apart.
“Fathers and Mothers. My permission explains. Yes, there was a mistake on our part. Please give time to repair and the project can continue.”
“What's the guarantee?”
“I'm sure this project will be completed, in shay Allah. Please give time, three months until everything goes smoothly.”
“Reno! I know your reputation is good. Please don't disappoint us. Delays can happen, but what we see here is no progress! Running out of funds are you?”
“Please sir, give me a chance. Your Father and Mother's house will be delivered. Sorry if any delay but I commit to finish.”
“Take note of this Reno, if within one month there is no progress, you will I report to the police!”
Scrolls of sweat appeared on Reno's forehead.
“In shaa Allah I will keep trust. Forgive me.”
Still struggling, the buyers left the project area.
Although the burden squeezed the chest, but Reno was grateful to still get an extension of time.
His hand grabbed the phone and called Dela.
“Hi, Ren.”
“Hai. Del, is there any funds that can be liquid immediately? I paid a penalty.”
“Honey, Ren. How much do you need?”
“Create everything I need 30 billion.”
Across the street, Dela smiled cunningly.
“Gini, you do not need to liquidin investment, mending lu pinjem funds about 20 billion. You can pay as your investment matures. Yes, the profit is trimmed the same interest on debt anyway. But it's still less than the penalty you have to pay.”
“Loan yes, Del?” Reno rubbed his face rough.
“It's the best way out. I have a friend named Zayn Malik. The interest rate is high, but no need to kayak in bank.”
“Sial! My home is at least 5M doang.”
“He met me, I'll tell you to help you. Tomorrow I set up for a meeting. She lives in Yogya, but often comes here anther her mother to check up. His mother has a stroke.”
“Oh, I see. Mmm my investment really can not be melairin?”
“Can, Ren, but yes you will get a big penalty because it falls tempo is still next year, right? Sorry I think your company is pretty established so I sodorin long-term investment.”
“Gue thought, Del.”
“Okay, let me know your decision.”

After finishing the conversation with Reno, Dela's hand opened her desk drawer.
Retracting his old photo album while still in High School with Reno. A smile on his lips flashed considering how happy they were back then.
Her index rubbed a picture of Reno laughing wide with one hand embracing her in front of the campus.
“You haven't changed at all, Ren. Even more handsome,” murmured while continuing to stare at photos.
Then a stack of photos of Reno, Nafisa, Aurelie, and Milo were secretly taken by employees.
“I should be the mother of your children, Ren.”
His eyes would not look at Nafisa's face.
“I will replace you as the wife and mother of Reno's children. Just wait. Basic female exiles,” said Dela while grunting.
Dela has been investigating Nafisa and it all ends up in an orphanage that is no longer operating since the caretaker and the owner died.
There is no more information to be learned about Nafisa. That's what makes Dela feel the upper hand considering she was born from a family that is quite well-respected in her area.
With a small laugh, Dela sent orders to her men.
“Viralize buyer demo on Pak Reno.” project
Before long, the answer went to the Dela hape.
“Already, Bu.”
***
Nafisa accompanies Reno to meet Zayn Malik in his office. They're waiting in the meeting room.
Zayn Malik is a businessman who will provide loans to help finance Reno companies.
There was no other option after a demo in front of the gates of the viral project, some investors revoked their investments, not to mention Reno's reputation being tainted as an abal-abal developer.
Not to mention the growing threat of buyers will report Reno to the police.
The loan will be a bridge to get the company back on track.
Nafisa holds Reno's hand while saying, “Bang, we will have a big debt.”
“Abang was a miscalculation. All the company's investment has not been disbursed and after Abang tally, the penalty for disbursement before maturity will be very detrimental.”
“I can't help you sell cakes?” Nafisa's murmured softly, her heart did not decide her husband, but there was a greater risk. Reno threatened to be reported to the police.
Full of affection, Reno looked at his beautiful wife huh.
“This loan is only bridging because when the penalty is not too big, you will let the investment. Dela will also help.”
Nafisa pondered then again raised objections.
“Our house will be a guarantee, Bang. I'm scared.”
“Sshh. Bismilla. You won't let anything bad happen to us.”
Reno embraced then kissed Nafisa's forehead.
From a distance Dela stared angrily at the couple who looked deeply in love.
“Del, we meet them now?”
The tall figure of a large brownish-haired curl with a neat beard covered the shape of a jaw that perfectly greeted Dela.
“Eh , Zayn, make your surprise.”
“Kok can yes, classmate Reno miscalculated?”
Dela did not say just sniff, but in her heart she replied, “Where can she refuse the investment portfolio that I offer after serving as a pleasure until she is addicted.”
All investment programs are indeed made so by Dela into a trap prepared to ensnare Reno.
“Lu isn't macem2 the same as Reno, is it, Del? I don't want to get involved, let alone this big money.”
Lying, Dela replied, “Ngaklah. I gave you all the data on Reno, from the business to the assets. You broke up yourself, if not comfortable yes already.”
“Fine. You see I have no time to take care of *****buckle outside of business.”
“Faith. Let's meet them.”
Dela walked out on Zayn towards the rapt space. Heart's beating. This was the first time he had met in person since Reno had ended their bed relationship.
Unlike the usual Reno because although it had grown affection, but for him, Dela was only limited to satisfying napsu.
“Hai, Del. Please, thank you for this arrangement.” Sapa Reno clenched his hands not wanting to touch Dela.
Nafisa also greeted the friendly to Dela. “Hai, Un. Makasi ya have helped Abang.”
“Sure, don’t mention it. Uni and Reno have been confirmed from SMA.”
Reno then introduces herself and Nafisa to Zayn.
Not wanting to waste time on small talk, Zayn invited everyone to sit down.”
“So Mr. Reno wants to borrow twenty billion with a guarantee of a house and a plot of land in the Klenjer area of 1 hectare.”
“Betul Pak Zayn.”
“If the loan goes down, then you should already repay the principal and interest starting next month.”
Reno nodded while Nafisa frowned. He does not like loans with the form of interest because it violates the rules in religion.
Knowing the reaction of his wife, Reno grabbed and then clasped Nafisa's hand.
Gently, Reno said as he looked at Nafisa to convince her, “Bismillaah, in the Lord's word we can start to slick.”
“Later Uni also helped disburse investment,” Dela assured.
Zayn continued again, “For partial repayment there is a fee to be paid. You've read all my terms, right?”
“Already Mr. Zayn.”
“Are we ready to sign a receivable agreement?”
“In shaa Allah.”
“Please Mom sign in guarantee letter because assets are collateralized on your behalf.”
Nafisa nodded.
After the process is complete, Zayn said again, “This agreement will be sent to a notary. I will send the file to your office. The disbursement will be done two days from now. Thank you.”
Zayn stood up, nodded at a glance then walked out of the room.
Reno's face exuded relief, at least he had the funds to continue the mangkrak town house project.
“Del, thanks yes.”
“Don’t mention it. I will also push for investment disbursement. Hope all is well.”
“Aamiin ..” Reply Reno and Nafisa in unison.
After the two left the meeting room, Dela was still sitting there observing Reno and Nafisa's movements.
Pretend to type something in his hape because he does not want Zayn to suspect there is something between himself and Reno.
At least there was once something between them that crossed the line of chastity of a pledge.
Dela's heart is secretly pinched at how dear and protective Reno is against Nafisa.
Despite Dela's timeless love, Reno's treatment of her has never been more than a seeker of pleasure over her body.
“Hopefully my plan is successful and we will realize our dreams, Ren.”

As Zayn promised, two days later the loan funds were disbursed to the company's account.
Reno can breathe a sigh of relief and the funds are directly used to continue the project, pay the vendor's mounting debt, and some are used as reserves.
Nafisa tried to help her husband by widening the market for snacks and receiving more birthday cake orders.
At least he does not want to burden Reno with household costs that are increasing day by day because the price of goods continues to rise.
Everything was done sincerely, just for his family.
***
A few weeks later, Reno received a message from Dela, “Ren, I want to check the disbursement of investment profit. There are five hundred million. Plus there is also an investment that I can withdraw without a penalty of approximately two billion. We met at Taman Roses apartment?”
Reno read while frowning. He desperately needed funds but he did not want to see Dela.
However, the man had felt the battle in bed with Dela.
A battle that gave sinful pleasure but it was undeniable that he also missed it.
His hand is writing answers.
“Meet in the office?”
Shortly response from Dela, “Ren! I've put up a body for you. Please, I don't want to do it either. I just do not want to come out and check as big as gini can I send using ojol.”
Reluctant but forced to remember the loan funds have been depleted because of operations, Reno agreed.
After lunch with the vendor, he headed for the apartment.
In the lobby, he called Dela.
“Del, meet under aja.”
Dela's voice sounded hoarse like she had just woken up.
“Neither Ren, I'm a little unwell. Get up straight. All of you I want to ask for help with you.”
“Gue can't be long.”
“I know. Bentar. The door to the elevator and I open it from here. Room 1012 yes.”
Gegas Reno up. The intention is to take the check that is rightfully his and then go home.
In front of room 1012, Reno looks in because the door is not locked.
“Del,” call it.
From the direction of the room, came the sound of Dela.
“Ren, please help me, I fell.”
Reflex, Reno immediately ran towards the room. Dela was trying to get up from the floor.
“Del, why you?”
“So I'm so dizzy abis bukain door for you.”
Reno then asked Dela to go back to bed.
“Ren, the check is on the nightstand. You take it, I'm going to sleep. Lu close the apartment door yes.”
That afternoon, Dela wore pajamas of peach-colored satin. A very contrasting color with her smooth skin.
During their adventure, Dela never wore pajamas. There was a tickling rush that Reno felt.
Swallowing the saliva, he advanced towards Dela.
“Del ..”
His hand touched Dela's cheek and somehow, within a second their lips clutched to release the long-held napkin.
That afternoon, Reno again betrayed the promise of loyalty to Nafisa.
Again and again, he took pleasure with Dela. Forgetting there is a wife who is trying to help her husband by receiving more orders.
Reno forgot about Nafisa who had accompanied from the beginning and had given birth to a pair of beautiful children.
Love and loyalty are again torn apart by a momentary lust and pleasure.
