We Finally Married!

Cruel Temptations

Namira headed to her room. He picked out the clothes he was going to bring. Arnav had just finished his bath and was still using a towel on his waist. Namira tries to concentrate on her activities.

"Why do you suddenly want to come? How's college?" Tanya Arnav cold.

"Mas already eaten?" Namira switched the conversation.

"Jawab my question! Is it because you know my wealth and are being nice to me? Are you afraid of losing your gold mine?" Arnav asks softly hoping Namira answers no. But his current thoughts about Namira had indeed gone bad.

The girl did not reply and chose silence while closing her suitcase.

"Java!" Arnav holds Namira's chin and looks at her sharply.

"I can't clear the mind of an emotional person. If you think so, go ahead." Answer's flat.

Arnav is tired of Namira's attitude. He picked up his shirt and laid his body on the bed. Namira followed next to him and closed her eyes. Arnav looked at the girl. He is confused by Namira's attitude. Is it possible that his wife would love him or would he just feel bad about having received Arnav's money? Or does he not want to lose his money?

Arnav can't fall asleep. He looked for various information about the female character on his cellphone until sleepy and asleep.

In the morning Namira calls Santi's mother and informs her that they are leaving for Tidore.

"Yet you should go home! Don't forget to have another reception here! Namira has never been here, has she? Though mama wants her reception here to be held next month." Saying Santi's mom.

Namira simply replied with a forced smile.

"Please tell me to Mbak Sari and ya ma'am." Namira.

Arnav, who heard the talk, said in his heart, "Smart manners for money."

***

After breakfast and preparing, they say goodbye and then head straight to the airport. Arnav doesn't help at all with Namira's stuff. He talks to Dilla as the only colleague from one office.

"Your wife pity me!" Show Dilla. Arnav doesn't care.

"Dilla, do you think it's better to love or be loved?" Ask Arnav.

"Loved dong. But after that we should try to love too." Enthusiastic answer.

"Love for money?" Cousin Arnav suddenly.

"That's called matre. Lest if there was a richer one he would change heart. Ahaha!" Ledek Dilla who actually understands that Arnav is insinuating Namira.

Namira just has to be patient.

Arnav and Namira sat next to each other.

"Mas Arnav once said that it would make me love because a mas is a man and a woman is a creature that falls in love easily." Namira Mumbles. Arnav heard it and tried to recall the memories. But his heart still aches with Namira's attitude focused on covenant, vengeance, and currently focused on Arnav's treasure.

After four hours of air travel, the brand arrived. The driver immediately takes Arnav and Namira to their house while Dilla has disembarked at the apartment rented for her.

Arnav feels dizzy. After the stress of thinking about Namira, he too was late to eat. Arriving in a house that has been equipped with various facilities, he sat himself on the sofa. The weather on the island is so hot that the AC in the room plays a very important role.

Namira took out a pain reliever and gave it to Arnav. The man took it and drank it. He took the money out of his wallet and gave it to Namira. The girl sighed and put the money back into Arnav's wallet.

"Why? Less is it? I will write an abundance of all treasures for you. Satisfied?" She asked cynically and headed to her bedroom.

Namira does her online work. He also contacted Iwan about the benefits of the mini market today.

"I just transfer the net profit, huh mbak." Iwan.

As the night progressed, Arnav finally woke up from his sleep.

"There's only this in the fridge. Eat first. Tomorrow I'll try to go to the market." Namira.

The man was silent and did not care. He then put the money on the dining table. Back Namira moved it to Arnav's wallet.

"When I go to sleep, how much do I have to pay?" Tanya Arnav cynical. Namira considers it a past wind and chooses to sleep apart.

***

Arnav starts his day at the new office. He's deploying his team. He's been home late this week. Namira was always waiting for him in the living room. Sometimes Dilla drove him home in the car of the owner of his apartment that he borrowed. But whatever happens, Namira just needs to shut up and dig Arnav's character deeper.

The weekend arrives. Arnav is off from his office routine.

"Mas, I went to the market first while looking for some necessities." Pamit Namira's. Although he did not know much about the Tidore region, he ventured. Arnav did not bother him. He dissolves into his work on a laptop and contacts Iwan.

"Has it been transferred to my wife's account all the benefits of the minimarket? While stabilizing existing stock only. If you want to add a new product, just ask Namira's opinion." Arnav Light.

"Mbak Namira did not want to transfer. He has created a new account in the name of Minimarket Arn where everything belongs to the Arnav mas." Reply Iwan.

Arnav is shocked and increasingly clueless with Namira's thoughts.

"Do you know the reason? It's not in my agreement with him. I told you the mini market was his." Arnav Light.

"I don't know." Ivan answered back.

***

It's past lunchtime but Namira hasn't come home yet. Arnav was worried especially since the girl had not memorized this island. He tried to contact her but her phone died.

Arnav who has now been given a service car, would not want to drive his car to find the whereabouts of Namira.

***

The girl was sitting by the lake trying to vent her emotions. But her tears could not fall. Everything was stuck in his heart. He understands all this is wrong. Entering May means that he must focus on the entrance exam. But his mind is raging.

"Don't until after my marriage fails, my future also fails." Say it in the heart. He made up his mind to study the entrance exam.

The extremely hot weather made Namira dehydrated. He had to wait for the bus to return home. A car stopped right at the bus stop where it stood.

"Where have you been?" Arnav said as he went down the windshield of his car.

"I'm lost to you." Namira replied lying. Then he got into the car.

"We'll find lunch first." Take Arnav who seems like his emotions are getting better. The stress that disappeared from his shoulders made him feel very good.

He ordered seafood. Hearing Iwan's explanation earlier made him think a little that Namira was not too ambitious on his property. Especially after hearing that Namira was stranded on this foreign island made her feel a little guilty.

Namira has no appetite. He felt his body uncomfortable. He tried to keep drinking his drink.
