Trapped by My Husband's Destiny

Helping God

Arkan picked up Nadia this afternoon. They went straight home because Arkan had activities to pursue after Maghrib. They don't stop by the cafe or the restaurant to talk about the engagement. Arkan and Nadia discuss in the car while the vehicle takes Nadia to her home.

"So... Mas, from my family, offered. 2 weeks from now we can carry out the engagement. How about, Mas? From the Arkan Mas family, how about?" ask Nadia. Nadia was in the front passenger seat. He was a little anxious when he said that to the man who was driving the car.

"Can. My family agrees anyway. Umi I told you too. My sister was also told that I was going to have an engagement. And they're waiting for the date to be set."

Arkan spoke seriously while focusing on driving the car.

"OK then. Means the date for the engagement is no longer a problem. So our offer hasn't changed."

Nadia smiled happily. It was not as easy as he imagined. He thought that there was an obstacle to Arkan's exit if the decision came from Nadia's family and it was hard to find common ground.

"Yes. Trus..if my opinion, do not need too many invitations, Nad. Family only. From my family and your family. So no hassle. For matters of distant family or friends, invited during the wedding only."

Arkan expressed his opinion.

"Yes, Mas. I think so too."

"Things related to marriage, will be discussed in deliberation between the two families," Arkan said.

"Yes, Mas. Let the business of determining the day of marriage be determined by our parents."

"Yes," Arkan replied briefly.

"After sending me back to the office?" ask Nadia.

"No. Daniel and I are going to the Shopping Center" Arkan replied casually.

"Well to buy what? Office needs?"

"No. personal affairs. Daniel wanted to ask my opinion about the gift he would buy for his girlfriend. Her boyfriend's birthday, next week."

Arkan said that sentence casually. His eyes focused forward.

"Daniel already has a girlfriend, Mas? Where's her boyfriend staying?" nadia asked wanting to know a little about the personal life of Arkan's assistant.

"It has. Living in Solo too."

Arkan smiled slightly as he said that phrase.

"Oh, you know Daniel's girlfriend?"

"Know. Ever since we got close, this time, Daniel's third girlfriend. And I know all her girlfriends."

"Wah.great dong. So... I'm Mas Arkan's girlfriend to what?" nadia asked a little. He looked at Arkan. Awaiting answers.

"Who said you were my girlfriend?" ketus Arkan's.

Nadia remained silent. Fixated. He didn't expect Arkan to speak like that in such a tight tone. Nadia's face looked tense.

"You're a future wife, not a boyfriend. There's no one in my dictionary whose name is dating."

Arkan explained gently. He turned a little to Nadia. His eyes clearly saw Nadia's tense face as a slender sentence was spoken towards Nadia. But after the next sentence was thrown, the face of the girl he saw returned cheerful. Arkan saw Nadia turn her face to the side. He pretended to look out the window of the car, but he was actually hiding his shame. Arkan could read the giraffe of the girl who was still dressed in a work uniform.

For Nadia, she did not care about Arkan going with Daniel. He also had another life before he met her. And Arkan was also honest with her about the activities to be done with the nursing assistant. No problem for him.

Arkan is running the car at standard speed. We will soon be at Nadia's house. After that, he would pick up Daniel at his boarding house and leave together as promised.

"What do you think, Arkan? Red heart or black?" ask Daniel. He showed both bags with the same type but different colors. Daniel's white, clean face was radiant. He slightly peels the smile on his lips.

"I like the black one, but I think your girlfriend would love another bag" Arkan replied casually. He stood before Daniel.

"Yes, I took the red one. Come on, Mas. We go to the cashier," Daniel said.

Arkan took a look at some of the straps bags beside him.

Daniel stood still. Quiescent.

Arkan was looking at some bags that were around him. But in the next minute, Arkan looked at the man wearing a black shirt. This man is very suitable to wear any model clothes. Arkan looked at Daniel who was fixed in silence.

"What's wrong?"

Daniel smiled a little. "Mas Arkan, send me dong to the cashier," he said firmly but there was a slightly spoiled tone in the sentence thrown.

"Already Niel. Until when do you want to be like this. You have to learn to be confident in everything. The period of paying goods to the cashier doang, must be Mas also reliable."

Arkan didn't look at Daniel. He deliberately looked towards the bag he was holding.

Daniel was silent and did not answer. Stand glued.

Arkan knows the character of Daniel. Men who are 5 years old below, do not have great confidence. He is very shy when it comes to dealing with new people. Also with things related to the system that must interact a lot with others. It is difficult for him to communicate and make small talk with other humans. Arkan knows very well the character of a man who has been considered like his own sister.

The Arkan movement stopped. The bag on display, held by him. He looked at Daniel.

"Mas, please dong. Mas Arkan can ask the same cashier later about this item discount.. I'm not the same as me. I can sweat cold...."

Daniel asked seriously.

Arkan put the bag that was being held to its original place. He turned, walked away, away from Daniel. Not even close to Daniel. Lips smile. He seemed to be deliberately teasing the handsome man.

"Udah.... "

Daniel moved quickly. There was a knock on the shoes that Daniel was wearing clashed on the floor was fast too. He pulled Arkan's hand by force.

Arkan was struck by Daniel's hand. He turned to face Daniel. But he laughed a little. Not Angry.

"Come.help me. I didn't tell Mas Arkan to pay for this, I just asked to talk to the cashier and ask for a discount on this item. Please...."

Daniel asked with a sad face. They stand facing.

"Any yeah. This handsome look of you can tempt anyone, including men. Why can't you be confident. Everywhere.. people who look like you. are mostly playboys and would love to face a beautiful cashier in a shopping center like this," explained Arkan with a serious face.

"Already, Mas. I don't need your talk right now. I need Mas's looks and Mas's speaking skills to get a discount on this stuff."

Daniel pulls Arkan's hand back. His right hand clasped the wrist of his working partner. He walks forward and leads Arkan to the cashier.

Arkan shut up and followed the path where Daniel was taking him. But she still smiled a little.

After a few steps, Daniel stopped not far from the cashier. Of course the steps of the man pulled by him also came to a halt. He turned back, looking at Arkan.

"More...."

Daniel gave me the bag that Arkan would pay for. Remove the wallet from the back pocket and pull one card to be used as a means of payment when the wallet has opened. "Well... Arkan knows the PIN, right?" Daniel gave me a debit card.

Arkan picked up the blue bag and debit card. "Until when do you want to be like this. You are 25 years old. Masa'ak kayak High School."

Arkan said with a slight tightening of his teeth. His voice that came out when saying that sentence was a bit furious. The right hand holding the debit card landed on Daniel's head and rubbed the hair on the young man's head several times. Then Arkan quickly moved towards the cashier who was in front of them. The cashier table is about 6 steps away from where they stand.

Daniel smiled. He turned around and noticed Arkan walking towards the cashier. The man who was 5 years old on it had often become a Helper God for him.

Daniel waited where he was standing while playing a cellphone that had previously been taken from the front pocket. He's calm. Because he knew, Arkan would issue his manager in interacting with the cashier and would definitely get a discount on the item. There are many ways that Arkan can do this because he is very smart in this regard.

In the corner of the cashier's table, three rows apart from the queue where Arkan stood. A pair of eyes looked at their agitation from start to finish as they debated who would advance to the cashier's table. He looked at the two young men with a sinister look.
