"It turns out you're not the one who likes trite talk, are you? Alright. Listen out! My name is Bona Santoso. You will be my future wife who I will introduce to my parents." Bona said.
"Hahhhh!!!" ninda shouted, her eyes bulging.
Bona was stunned to see Ninda's round eyes startled to look like Airin, who always worried about her.
"No .. no. not .. not being a wife-to-be but pretending to be a wife-to-be" said Bona.
"Pretending? Don't you have a boyfriend to look for someone to play with?"
"My parents' criteria are home children, but with my social environment like this, it's hard."
"Home child? Hahahahahahaha.... "
Now it's Ninda's turn to laugh, but let it be, it doesn't matter to her that just playing the charade of being a future wife, anyway the guy who asked her to play around is also handsome.
"Until when?"
"Ah ... true, until when? I didn't think about it until there."
"Heh, if you want to play the show must be conceptualized to look real."
"When do you think it will be?"
"I'm only willing to spend a month in exchange for Evan and his friends."
"What?!?"
Bona did not expect Ninda to answer him firmly.
"One month?"
"Yes, after a month sir could be looking for a reason to break up because there's no match."
Bona is still digesting something odd about the deal he and this cute girl had.
"If you still want to play the charade after the indemnity deadline, you can hire me, 5 million per month."
"You're crazy! It's called blackmail!"
"Violation how do you mean sir? I will only make an offer, rent services for the role of a prospective wife. The name of the service is of course there are tariffs but not forcing, for those who are interested."
"Ck! Whatever."
"Okay, deal yes, sir. I became a pseudo-wife for a month in place of all the losses Evan and his friends had caused. After one month, we have no relationship whatsoever, unless you want to continue the charade, of course you will be charged 5 million per month." explained Ninda.
"But as long as your status is a future wife in a charade, you have to behave like a real wife-to-be. I, as your future husband, have the right to do like a real husband," Bona said, adding a deal clause.
Ninda was stunned, but she thought there was nothing to lose, after all just pretending, playing around and being able to boast a little in front of her college friends on campus that all this time she was not single, there are men who are interested in him and are no longer nicknamed old teenagers.
Eventually from then on Ninda and Bona were lovers in a play they made over the next month.
The sound of the phone in Ninda's bag rang, glimpsed at a glance, it was Litha who called her.
"Yes, Tha," Ninda answered her phone.
"Yes, let me go home again. Udah, already, safe, no need to worry about anything," said Ninda answered Litha's question.
"It's over, isn't it, sir? I want to go home now" he told Bona after hanging up the phone.
"Yes, I'll call you back later. From now on don't call me sir, but darling."
"Whoaaaaahhhh. Okay no problem."
No less complex, Ninda said,
"No need, dear. Your lover is an independent woman, do not be fooled by my ugly face. But ... You can make my first wish, dear. Of course you don't mind granting your future wife's request? Please escort my cousin and his friends to their respective homes safe."
"A--a-pa? You-"
Ninda walked out of the room with a cry. Bona can't say anything, the game hasn't started yet he's already lost a landslide.

Today, in her office room, Firza receives a sizable envelope from the detective she hired to keep an eye on Litha.
At first Firza, like Rayyendra, was suspicious of Litha's motives for approaching the Grand Lady, which she did solely to protect her Grandmother. But unlike Rayyendra who reacted angrily, Firza responded calmly but he found out for sure behind the scenes.
Every report that came from detectives since the pseudo-incident until now even made Firza fall in love with Litha. Even now the reason he still hires detectives is no longer to protect the Big Lady as he is sure there is no motive whatsoever other than sincerity, but also to know Litha's true life story.
"Is this all information about Tisha, Detective Zeth?" firza asked before opening the envelope that was in front of her.
"Yes, sir, all the information is inside." replied the private detective.
Firza opened it, looked at it, read it and looked carefully at all the information Detective Zeth had obtained. He found something that attracted attention. His facial water changed, he examined it once again in chronological order.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh.... That bastard turned out!!! How he lived a quiet life after destroying the lives of not just one woman but one family. Aaaarrrrrgggghhh........!!!" maki Firza was upset in her heart.
"Thank you Detective Zeth. Keep an eye on Litha, especially when she's alone. Danger began to scout her since the Big Lady's birthday party. For this information, your bonus will be transferred soon."
"Thank you, Mister. Excuse me."
Firza replied with a single nod. Inwardly breathing as deeply as possible, his mind flew to Litha. He could feel the bitterness that Litha had experienced due to one incident. His life turned one hundred and eighty degrees after the sudden death of his father. Litha and her mother and brother lost their 'lives. Inevitably Litha most allows her condition to take care of and take care of them all. Sweet and spoiled Litha is now transformed into a strong, independent Litha and fights her ego for the sake of family.
Firza clenched her one hand holding back the anger that enveloped her. He knows who raped Tisha, he knows who closed the Tisha case, he knows who the mastermind of Litha's father's hit-and-run, he even knows who told two thugs to try and rape Litha.
Firza wants to open the case of Tisha again despite years passed, he is willing to find new evidence to seek justice for the Litha family. However, he had no right to do so without Litha's consent, and to seek Litha's approval he would have to disclose all the information he had. Unfortunately the information opened up a deep and dark old wound, which he painstakingly buried and stood on top of.
Firza was confused as to what to do, she cupped her hands together in the face, expelling the uneasiness that plagued her at this moment. His goal was one, he wanted to see Litha's loose smile without any burden on his shoulders.
After being silent with her own thoughts, Firza sent a text message to Litha.
'Lith, I want to see you today. I have something to tell you. I'll pick you up after dinner at Grandma's.'
Ting ....
Litha's reply came in.
'OK, Brother.'
Firza turned her seat to face the glass behind her. The room is one floor under the Rayyendra room at Pradipta Corp Headquarters. Various frenzied modes of transportation look beautiful from there. Her straight gaze was limitless, Firza said inwardly,
"Litha, I know how you build high boundaries around you just to prevent your focus from being lost for the sake of families who need you. I'm sorry if yesterday I thought you rejected me because there's another man in your heart. I love you, Navia Litha Sarasvati."
