Tough girl in novel

*Episode 36

Because Maria was silent, Arkan immediately plucked his finger in front of Mary's face. Instantly, the girl awoke from her daydream.

"Eh, iy-yeah. Sorry, I .. was daydreaming about something."

"What are you thinking? The words I said just now?"

"Hm .. yes." Maria said while nodding her head.

"What's wrong with the words I just said? Feelings, nothing wrong. Waitaminute! Don't you, you don't want to marry me, Maria. Do you have a way to cancel the wedding? Did ya? If yes, just say it right now! We can talk about it now."

"Eh, there's no. I have no way to cancel our wedding now. But, I felt an excuse to maintain our relationship, and then continuing the marriage actually sounded bad in my ears."

"He he .... Bad reason? Then, what do you want me to reason with? Love's reason?"

The question instantly made Maria's face glow red without her being able to bear it. As forcefully as possible, Maria tried to hide the hue on her face even though in reality, it was completely fruitless.

"I know, that reason will make you feel bad even more, Maria. Love's. A difficult word to accept directly in an arranged marriage, right?"

"Hm .. iy-yeah. Right ... once." Maria spoke with a sigh of hesitation for holding back a nervous heart.

"Therefore, we must marry to cultivate love, Mary. Because by always being together, I am sure, love will grow in each of us, even if it takes time. Because that love will grow slowly."

Maria gaped. Surprised of course by the explanation of the love he had just heard from Arkan. The handsome man seemed to be playing with the look on his face. Saying something like dropping. And then, even raising. Really makes Maria feel at play.

"Yes God .... " Maria said softly while taking a heavy breath.

Suddenly, the remark made Arkan pay close attention to Maria. How not? The words accompanied by the grunt are certainly stored a lot of meaning for Arkan.

"Why, Ria? Is there anything wrong?"

"none. I don't think there's anything wrong. And, finish the discussion about our relationship right now. I want to go home because I think our discussion is over" Maria said in an annoyed tone.

"alright. I'll take you home. As for what you want from me, you take it easy. I'll help you as much as I can. And I assure you, you will not be disappointed for asking me for help."

"Give me a month. Then the company also all assets of wealth that should be yours, you will have everything without any defects."

"Annex?"

"Yes. Why?"

"A month is too long for me. Can't it go any faster?"

Arkan pulled a small smile at the corner of his lips.

"You seem too impatient, Ria. All right, if so, take two weeks. Then everything will be fine."

"Don't challenge me, Ria. One thing you should remember, I'm a person who doesn't like to be challenged. But ... If you dare to challenge, then you must have a bet so that the challenge feels more interesting for me to live."

"good. We make bets now. If you manage to resolve this matter and return the company on my behalf intact for two weeks, then I am ready to leave all the matchmaking decisions in your hands. But if you don't succeed, then all our matchmaking decisions are in my hands. How's it?"

"Quite interesting the stakes I think. For that ... shall we deal?" Arkan held out a hand as his lips carved out a smile.

"yeah. Deal," said Maria welcomed Arkan's hand as quickly as possible.

After a mutual agreement, Arkan and Maria separated. Arkan returned to the office in his car. While Maria, she was driven home by an Arkan driver in an office car.

Along the way home, Maria kept thinking about what Arkan was saying. Word by word that sounded enough to make him feel a vibration. It would be strange if Mary thought carefully. Because he could feel an unusual vibration with just a short meeting that they had just had a few times.

Aware of the tremors she felt were not true, Maria immediately shook her head.

'Jeez Maria. You didn't come here to be preoccupied with love. Instead, you came because the mission changed something wrong. If you are drunk with love, then your fate will be very sad. Love can make you remiss and maybe, you will stay here forever.'

Because Mary is busy with her own thoughts. Again, he must be reminded by the driver if the car he is riding has reached the destination.

"Miss .. sorry, the car's here." The driver spoke in a tone that sounded unpleasant.

"Eh .. ee .. sorry, driver sir. I ... again unconscious," said Maria also in a bad tone because she felt guilty and ashamed of what she had just done. This is not the first time he has made this mistake.

"No problem, miss. Let's just say nothing happened."

"Yes okay. I'm going down first. Thank you so much for taking me home."

"Either. It's my duty, miss."

The driver left Maria's yard. While Maria, she immediately entered the house shortly after the car left her yard.

Only then did Mary open the door, she was greeted with a piercing glare by her uncle. Maria could not guess what that gaze meant. However, as much as possible he was calm in order to get through the bad things that might happen soon.

"Where have you been, Maria? Why just go home now? Didn't you come out before noon?"

"I finished eating earlier pa .... "

"I won't let you answer now, Mary!" Bimo immediately cut Maria's words in a high tone.

"You really disappointed me, you know! You're running around unclear, whereas you know what your cousin is going through. Where's your conscience as a cousin, Maria?"

"I don't wander indistinctly, uncle. I'm out because there's something important I take care of. Anyway .... "

"What matters, huh! Lunch with men? Is that the important thing you mean? You shameless child, I have grown up with difficulty, even making a tantrum. What should I say if the Arkan family knows what your attitude is***** while out of the house, huh! Explain to me now, Maria!"
