Wedding On Paper

Utilizing Circumstances

Merry was still sitting down limp, because he was still in shock with the situation. Both of his legs he bent while in a hug. Lips vibrate. Her tears had completely blurred her eyesight.

"Are you okay?" The voice of this man, so familiar in Merry's ears. The man who helped him was none other than Dion. Dion crouched down right in front of the woman sitting, looking down in fear. And when Merry raised his head. Dion was a little surprised, because the woman he helped was none other than a friend of his own best friend's wife.

"Merry" said Dion.

"Who are you! Why do you recognize me!" Merry was still so frightened, he even rewinded his body to move away. He still could not see clearly who the face of the man who was now crouching in front of him was.

"Hey, calm down, it's Dion, Bara's secretary" said Dion, holding Merry's shoulders. Merry quickly rubbed both of her eyes with the back of her palm. And sure enough, now he could see Dion's face clearly.

But all of a sudden, Merry was crying, she was crying so hard. Confused what to do.

"Merry, don't cry, a-aku–"

"Help me sir, I-I'm scared. I want to go home" Merry said as he cried.

"Okay calm down, I'll take you home." Dion took off his suit and wrapped it in Merry's body. Then embrace it and immediately take Merry to walk a little far, to where his car is parked.

While focusing on driving the car, Dion occasionally glanced at Merry, who looked so pitiful.

"Do you feel better?" asked Dion, who could only remain silent. Merry nodded his head slowly.

Now Dion stopped his car right in the yard of Merry's aunt. He got down and opened the car door for Merry. Then carrying Merry walked slowly to the terrace of the house.

But when Dion was about to knock on the door, someone from the inside first opened the door.

"Merry! You why?" asked Tante, so anxious, to see his nephew who looked so shabby and pajas.

"Auntie." Merry immediately hugged her aunt, shedding her tears. He still couldn't believe that tonight would be such a scary night for him.

"Calm down, what's going on?" the aunt let go of her embrace. Merry still did not answer his tantric question.

"Mr Dion, thank you for helping me sorry, so bother you these nights," said Merry, staring at Dion.

Dion widened his smile. "It's okay, next time be careful. I say yes" Dion told Merry.

"Let's get aunty" Dion told Merry's aunt, then he passed, and got back in his car to get home.

***

Five days passed after the incident that night. Merry came to visit Fira's cake shop. Two days ago Merry had just resigned from her internship. He chose to find another job that worked until the afternoon.

"This is the number" said Fira, giving Dion's number to Merry. And immediately sat her body right next to Merry, on the sofa in Fira's private study.

"Okay, thank you very much" said Merry. He immediately recorded Dion's mobile number on his phone.

"Mer, try to sleep in my husband's office" suggested Fira. Merry was silent for a moment.

"Then ah, your husband's company is a prestigious company. I don't care that I'm just an S1 graduate," said Merry, putting on a lesion face.

"Don't be ashamed, D3 can pass. Not only the problem of graduates, the most important performance and responsibility that you have Mer. If you want, then I will ask Mas Bara what the conditions of entry are," said Fira. Merry nodded in spirit.

In the afternoon, Bara and Dion went to Zupa Cake. Actually Bara had forbidden Fira to take care of the cake shop, but because Fira was bored at home all day, so today Bara allowed him to check the shop.

"Mas, you've come" said Fira, who just happened to come out of her kitchen.

"Eh Brother Dion," said Fira, who turned out to be Dion following her husband.

"Don't be too friendly to her." Bara closed Fira's eyes with her palm, and took her into Fira's private study.

Dion just shook his head, smiling obliquely at the behavior of his boss.

Merry who was sitting relaxing on the sofa, was a little surprised when she saw Fira and Bara coming into the room. He also greeted Bara first, before he came out while carrying a paper bag containing clothes.

"Hi," said Merry a little embarrassed, while allowing her hair behind her ears.

"Oh hi." A smile could be seen from Dion's lips.

"Sorry to trouble you to come here" said Merry, sitting his body on the bench on the table with Dion.

"Em. This, thank you. I-I washed it already." Merry offered a paper bag containing Dion's suit, which he had loaned that night.

"Okay together." Dion accepted.

"Oh yeah, are you in a hurry?" ask Merry. Dion stared at him for a moment, with a difficult look.

"Why is he staring at me!" inner Merry, while throwing his face in any direction, because it feels not nice to be noticed like that.

"No" said Dion, with his flat face.

Merry pulled both corners of her lips forcefully. "Hehe .. how about I treat you. In return because you helped me" said Merry, hoping to get a good response from Dion.

"Repent? My mentor?" dion asked, raising his eyebrows next, while looking at Merry with a look that seemed to kill him.

"L-yes, do you want to?" Dion was still silent, as if thinking of something.

Soon Bara and Fira came out of the study. Approaching Merry and Dion, who were sitting with quite an awkward atmosphere.

"Hey, why just shut up? Let's order food," said Bara. Fira, who joined the table with them, asked Siti to get some snacks, cakes and drinks.

Not to forget Fira told Bara, about Merry who wants to apply for a job at his company. I responded pretty well. And told Merry what to prepare before he applied for a job at his company.

"She's going to apply for a job at a Bara company?" muttered Dion, momentarily staring at Merry who was still engrossed in chatting with Fira.

"Alright, I think I can take advantage of this situation," Dion said.

Shortly after, they all ended their warm chatter that afternoon. Fira and Bara go home first. While Dion and Merry were both still sitting at the same table, as there was unresolved chatter.

"You really want to buy me?" ask Dion. Merry nodded slowly.

"Alright, tomorrow afternoon meet me at Amuz Gourment. Right at 17:00 Don't be late." Dion immediately stood up from his seat, before he actually left the Zupa Cake.

"Amuz Gourment's? Is that an elite restaurant?" merry muttered.

"Huft... is there no other place to buy it than in that expensive restaurant? At the ketoprak for example, or in the usual cafe that is," grumbled Merry who seemed confused with tomorrow.

Merry stepped out of the Zupa Cake shop with footsteps that looked lazy to walk. But, suddenly an incoming message notification sounded on his phone. He immediately opened the incoming message notification.

Merry rounded his eyes, when he saw the incoming message notification was none other than from Dion.

[From Dion — Take it easy, tomorrow I will treat you. You'll just have to help me tomorrow.]

Merry furrowed both of his eyebrows, shortly after reading a short message from Dion. "helped him? merry muttered.
