"I am Arsenio Bharata's mother, the man who will be your contract husband. "
Mia's jaw seemed to fall listening to the words of this middle-aged woman who was also her superior. She could not believe that her boss was the mother of Arsen, the man she would marry in one week's time.
"Mother, seriously? Mom didn't lie, did she? " ask Mia timidly.
"No Mia, why would I lie to you. If you want proof, you'll find out. When the brat came, " said Bu Rima with an upset tone.
"Now tell me, how much does Arsen offer you. "ask Bu Rima to the point.
"E. e. e... "
"Just tell me honestly Mia doesn't have to be afraid, I won't be mad at you. Because your life has become a public secret in the boutique. " said Bu Rima without a stale base.
Ms. Rima is a good person, everyone really likes the nature and attitude of Miss Rima to everyone but yes it is, when it comes to likes cleplas ceplos. Sometimes without caring about the feelings of others, like what he asked Mia at this time.
"Say." pinta bu Rima once again.
"Mr Arsen will pay off my parents' debt and redeem my parents' house, She will also compensate me for that debt, ma'am.
"just that? "
Mia nodded. "He would also give me money once a month, during his time as his wife. As long as I do all the work of a wife at home, except. "she pauses her speech because she feels uncomfortable.
"Unless what, say. Don't make me curious."
"E.. e. e. e. except to serve him on the bed. " said Mia while looking down.
Ms. Rima who heard that was furious, did not expect her son to be able to do this to a woman.
"Then did you accept it? "
"Yes... " Answer Mia lirih.
"Why did you accept it? " excited Miss Rima with her arms folded in front of her chest.
Mia felt that she did not understand why her boss could regret it to her.
"Why did mom? Mr. Arsen only married me by contract marriage, and one day he will definitely divorce me. If I could take care of myself, then, maybe one day when I divorce Mr. Arsen and I remarry the man I love then there is still something I can be proud of for my future husband" Mia said honestly.
Hearing Mia Bu Rima's speech felt speechless. He can't say anything more. True said Mia, their marriage is only a contract marriage. What can she expect from her son's contract marriage to Mia.
"Mia, if I can beg you, don't leave Arsen at all times. Stay with her and be her wife. " Pinta bu Mia while tightly grasping Mia's hand.
"No Mia, my son Arsen is a normal guy, he's normal. He just got lost on the wrong path" said Ms. Rima who was already shedding tears.
"I mean Mother? "
Bu Rima finally told her what happened to her son the last seven years.
Bu Rima POV's
Long ago... Arsen has a lover whom he loves very much and has been dating since college, his name is Amel. Amel is a kind and simple boy like you. He also comes from a simple family.
In the past Arsen still has nothing, he pioneered his business since he went to college with the help of expenses from his father who is also a coal businessman in Kalimantan. He pioneered his business from scratch, and was accompanied by Amel. Initially Amel accompanied Arsen in his career patiently. But maybe someone must have a saturation point, until finally Amel left Arsen and prefer a friend Arsen is richer and more established. Because he's the heir to his parents' company.
From then on Arsen shut himself off from all women and preferred to focus on his career, he got a big injection of funds from his papa, because his own father did not accept that his only child was hurt and underestimated by a woman. Until the business he built can be successful until now. And even his papa's coal business has now changed hands with him. Because papa Arsen is sick. No one knew that Arsen was the son of a conglomerate because papa Arsen always taught him simple living.
And because of that, Amel probably thought that we were only middle class. Until he left Arsen. My poor son.
And for some reason since the last three years, Arsen increasingly changed he was reluctant to be close to any woman, even the mother had introduced him to the child of a mother's friend, Arsen, but Arsen refused and did not care at all. Especially when he is close to a man named Ben, his life is increasingly unguided. I've been getting word from the office guy to keep an eye on Arsen or the guy I asked to investigate Arsen all along. And.....

Mia patted Mother Rima's back slowly, understanding the feeling of this old woman before her.
"When you said you were going to marry Arsen. Honestly, I'm happy, because it's possible that with your contract marriage, Arsen can return to normal. And can be with you for the rest of her life, " said Bu Rima with a sobbing sound that she held.
"Mom... "
"Please promise Mia you'll stay by Arsen's side. I'll also give you money, as long as you stay with him, and make Arsen fall in love with you. "
"It's not about money, ma'am. But it's a matter of the heart. " Said Mia with a bow.
"Try Mia, try to accept Arsen. Arsen is a nice guy he's a gentle man and has always respected me as his mother. I'll support you, Mia, if you stay with Arsen. Because I knew who you were all along. "
There is a sense of compassion in Mia when listening to a mother's request to her. A mother who wants her child back to normal.
"Alright, mom. I'll try it for mom, who's been helping me all this time. But if I fail, I'm sorry. Because I can't rely on you " said Mia in the end.
Bu Rima nodded loudly, and she immediately hugged Mia tightly.
"Thank you, Mia, thank you for helping my mom get my old Arsen back. Help mom, Mia... I'll give you anything, Mia, I promise. As long as you keep Arsen company until your tired point. "
In addition to making a deal with Arsen, Mia is now forced to make a deal with Arsen's mother. What a situation that makes Mia in the middle between mother and child.
