365 Day Contract
Chapter 50
Shaka may be too frustrated because almost 3 weeks have not yet found the whereabouts of Jihan. Almost every day there is an employee mistake that seems deliberately sought by Shaka in order to forget his emotions by scolding others. Said Diana, the secretary and best friend of Jihan, The boss was being careless. The mood is fast-changing and irritable.
As of this morning, Diana had already been interrogated by Shaka in his boss' room. This was the 10th interrogation Diana had experienced. Because Diana was Jihan's only close friend, Shaka accused Diana of hiding Jihan's whereabouts. Although Diana has sworn that she does not know where Jihan has gone, Shaka still does not believe her.
"You don't try to lie to me, Diana.!" Shaka. His gaze was always full of suspicion every time he interrogated Diana. Because there was no one else Shaka could suspect other than his secretary. Diana is the closest to Jihan.
"Geez sir, what good is it that I lied to Mr. Shaka.?!" Diana Sahut. The mother-of-one was furious with her boss.
"It is precisely if I know where Jihan is, surely from the beginning I have exchanged the information with your money. That's much more profitable for me." Sewot.
Shaka clucked annoyed at Diana's answer because it made him more reminded of Jihan who could not be far from the word money.
"Look carefully Diana, if you get caught hiding information about Jihan, I will not hesitate to fire you.!" Rigorously. Shaka then sent Diana out of her room.
Diana walked out of Shaka's room while grumbling. He's upset because Jihan left without any news. Making Diana feel unappreciated and considered as a friend who had been beside her in times of difficulty or pleasure. Now even added again with the work of Shaka. He said he didn't know, he was interrogated almost every day. Except on the weekend.

Jihan sighed while dropping her body on the bed. It has been almost 3 weeks that she and her family have been confined to one of her in-laws' homes. Jihan only 3 times out of the house. During those 3 weeks, her mother-in-law forbade her to leave the house unless she asked. Indeed, all the needs of Jihan and her family are met in the mansion. There are many foods that certainly will not make Jihan feel less.
Juna even felt at home in that house, but could not go anywhere. Maybe because everything is all there is. If Juna needs something, it must be bought directly by the domestic workers there. It looks like the Sultan. Anything at service. Who doesn't want to be treated like that.
Heck,,, gag, gag, gag,,
"Mba Jihan, you,,,!" Juna's voice outside the room forced Jihan to get out of bed.
"Why Deck.?" Jihan's tone sounded lethargic, like her face looked tangled. 3 weeks of doing nothing, Jihan became bored by herself. Because she was previously a career woman. Time spent working a lot, so after doing nothing for 3 weeks, Jihan was bored.
"Mama's calling you to dinner." Juna. Jihan nodded slowly, she walked out of the room and closed the door.
In the dining room, Mama Dewi was already sitting in front of a table full of several main food menus, desserts and fruit. Every day always provided 4 healthy foods 5 perfect.
"You sick, son.? Your face is a little pale." Said Mama Dewi while looking at her daughter's pale face.
The middle-aged woman lowered her head. She had no idea what was really going on in her daughter's household, until the iron locked them up in this house just because she wanted to give lessons to Shaka. He said Shaka was too indifferent and cold to Jihan, so he had to be separated for a while so that Shaka would be aware of his wife's existence.
But Mama Dewi did not believe it. As a Mother, Mama Dewi has a strong feeling about her child's marriage. Moreover, if to teach a lesson to Shaka just because his attitude was too cold, the feeling was too excessive to hide Jihan so far.
"We eat first, Mama wants to talk to you after dinner." The Mother Goddess. Jihan nodded obediently. He then ate it with Juna and Mama Dewi.
...*******...
In Jihan's room. The mother and son were sitting next to each other on the balcony of the room overlooking the golf hill. Both views are straight ahead. Occasionally Jihan closed her eyes, feeling the gust of night wind that hit the surface of her facial skin. Feels cold, even to the point of making the perverted mind of Jihan drift everywhere. The cold weather made him need warmth.
"Jihan, when are you going to be hidden like this.? You and Shaka are married, everything that happens in your household, no parents should interfere." Mama Dewi advised. His tone sounded soft despite being full of emphasis.
Jihan turned her head, the mother's sad face made Jihan's heart shake with regret. Although all this time his mother was silent because she did not want to interfere, but Jihan knew this problem made Mama burdened.
"As long as Shaka does not commit violence and does not betray your marriage, it should still be able to talk well without the need to leave the house."
"As long as you're silent because you're self-aware, we're just ordinary people, and your in-laws have everything. Just giving advice Mama felt unworthy." Sluggishly.
"Well," Jihan clasped Mama's hand and stared with teary eyes. Her mother's words made Jihan's heart throb pain.
"You should think twice from the beginning to bless you with Shaka. Now look, you're playing with marriage. Which mother's heart can be happy if her daughter's household is like this." The voice of Mama Dewi was choked. Although her daughter was treated well by her in-laws, Mama Dewi still swallowed the pain of seeing her daughter's household like that.
Jehan bowed lethargic. All her mother's words were like a loud whip. He played with marriage from the beginning. Maybe Mama Dewi will be even more disappointed if she knows the truth.
"Don't let this problem drag on. You have the right to refuse your in-laws' request." Mama Dewi looked forward a lot to her daughter. Maybe all the moms out there will say the same thing. Because they want their children to be happy.
"Jihan understands Mah. Sorry for making my mom worried. Tomorrow Jihan will meet Mas Shaka and talk about this." Said Jihan because she could not bear to see the sadness on her mother's face.
Jihan herself was bored in that house.
