Thorny Love

*Chapter 35

Rama narrowed his eyes hearing Zia's words just now. Then, he looked at the agreement letter that was in front of him at the moment.

"Letter of agreement?" rama asked, taking the letter.

"Yes, Mum." Zia answered briefly.

"Why use the covenant letter anyway, Zi? You don't believe me?"

"Hm .. that trust is the most precious thing in our lives. Once it's broken, you won't be able to return it again. Like glass, if you break it, you can't put it back together."

"Enough. I understand what you mean."

"You know, sign the agreement now, then I'll give you the loan you need" Zia said as she looked at Rama.

"Let me read this letter first, Zi."

"Please, Mom."

Rama read the letter of the covenant carefully. He tried to understand what was written on the letter of the covenant well. His eyes glared as he read the entire contents of the covenant letter.

"Zia, are you sure of the contents of this covenant?" rama asked while looking at Zia with a look of disbelief.

"Related, Mas. I'm pretty sure of what I'm doing."

"Zia, forty percent of the shares I own, it's the same you take all the shares written on my behalf. You know, the shares I own are only fifty percent. Fifty percent in the name of my mother."

"I'm not forcing you to agree to what I'm doing, Mom. If you don't want to, yes, you don't have to sign the letter. Easy right?"

"You are so happy with me, Zia. Don't you think about how my next life will be, if you leave me only ten percent share."

"What are you doing with me, Mom? You also don't think about how my next life will be when you bring women back to our homes. I mean, my house. Didn't you think about how I felt when you got married again?"

"You're talking about our household here. We're not talking about work now, not about the household."

"Oh yes, that's it. If you want me to talk about work without even bothering about our household, then, be professional now."

"Zi .. well, I'll sign this agreement. But, I ask one thing for you. Please don't tell mom or anyone else about this agreement" Rama said resignedly.

"That's my business, mas. I can't promise not to say any of this, 'cause it's not about us personally."

"I beg Zia. Let's just say this is my last request as your husband."

Rama spoke with a hopeful face. Even though Zia was heartbroken by that face, but still, there was a pity when she saw that hopeful face looking at her with a faint look.

"alright. I'm trying not to talk to anyone about this deal. But sorry, I can't promise you. Because it's about business. And you also know, if you can't repay this loan for five years, then the stock will be purely mine. So, how could I not talk if those shares were already mine, Mas."

"Yes, I understand."

Then, give the card to Rama.

"This, Mas. In this card there is as much money as you need. The password, your date of birth."

"Thank you" said Rama, receiving the card.

After Rama received the card, he told Zia to leave the office. While Laila, he was so happy when the online taxi he was riding stopped in front of the mall that seemed very luxurious.

"Wuah, finally, I arrived at the mall as well" Laila said with a sweet smile.

He walked quickly into the mall feeling happy. While continuing to smile, Laila looked at the mall with a gaze full of astonishment.

"Uh, I'm going to shop all the stuff I like right now. I'll buy everything" Laila said with a smile.

Laila walked into the place where expensive clothes were. A mall waiter walked over to Laila. He helps Laila choose all the clothes Laila likes.

"Are you sure you want to buy all these clothes?" ask the waiter very carefully.

"What! What did you ask just now? You think I can't afford what?" ask Laila annoyed.

"Sorry, that's not what I mean. The clothes that I chose were too many, are you sure you want to buy them all?"

"Yes rest assured. I have chosen, obviously I want to buy everything. Do you think I'm just picky, huh. Hey, I'm a rich man, I can afford all the things I choose. You can also buy it if I want."

"Ma-sorry, ma'am" said the waiter terrified.

After scolding the mall's waiter, Laila immediately went to the dressing room. He will try all the clothes he has chosen. Dozens of clothes that Laila chose, all he tried one by one. It took almost an hour for Laila to try on all the clothes. Plus, mirror in front of the mirror while admiring himself while trying the clothes.

After she finished trying, Laila asked the waiter to bring the shirt for payment. The mall's waiter asked what payment method Laila would use to pay for nearly twenty more clothes Laila had chosen.

"Care with dong card. You don't know what, I'm a rich man?" laila said she was proud of herself, while giving the ATM card to the cashier.

"Well, ma'am" said the cashier while receiving the card that Laila gave.

For a while Laila waited for the cashier to make a payment transaction. Then, the cashier looked at Laila with a strange look.

"What's up?" laila asked, disturbed.

"Do you have any other cards? Because the balance in this card is not enough to pay for all the clothes you buy."

"A-what! Not enough? No way," Laila said as she shook her head.

"Yes mbak. The balance is not enough to pay for all the groceries. You can only pay one-third of what you buy" the cashier explained.

"Do you have another card that we can use to pay for the rest of this mbak groceries? Or do you just want to pay with case money?"
