500 Million Men
Chapter 38. Offers

That morning, Fahri arrived early to the promised spot. Dressed in his office suit, Fahri had been waiting this early. Even the restaurant where Arumi met is still closed.

The man chose to sit in front, waiting for the restaurant to open. The cold of the morning was not felt for Fahri. Just like his heart, which was no longer warm because his love was betrayed by the most meaningful woman in his life.

That night, he did not even sleep. Thinking about the painful parting speech for him made Fahri seem completely destroyed.

Long enough he waited in front of the restaurant, until the place had just opened. He saw some of the employees there looking clean-up first. And Fahri is still waiting outside, after the employees who are in there are really ready to serve the customers who are there.

Fahri again set his sights on the restaurant. The servants who were there were already ready to serve the customers. Fahri also chose to enter the restaurant.

He only ordered drinks, for fear that the money in his pocket was not enough to pay for the expensive food in that place.

A glass of greentea was brought by the servant to Fahri's table. The man smiled and thanked me after the order arrived. The waiter simply replied with a nod, then returned to the kitchen to do the rest.

At the same time, Arumi came to the restaurant. He deliberately just parked his car a little far, to see Fahri who came while walking into the restaurant. However, Arumi was stunned when he looked at the restaurant, the man he was waiting for had already come first to enter the restaurant.

"Huh? Has he come first? This half?" muttered Arumi stunned.

The woman also chose to get out of her car. Immediately, he approached Fahri who had been in the restaurant first.

Fahri sees Arumi coming. The man immediately moved from his seat to greet Arumi.

"Don't stand like that, please sit down!" said Arumi who immediately dropped her ass into the chair. Fahri did something similar.

I don't know why Arumi suddenly felt nervous. He was a little afraid of the decision made by Fahri. After all, Fahri loved his wife very much. It is likely that the man turned down Arumi's offer yesterday.

"I've made a decision about the offer yesterday" Fahri said to open his voice.

"I decided to ...."

"Stopp!!" prevent Arumi. The girl was not ready to listen to Fahri's rejection.

"What's wrong?" fahri asked stunned.

"It's best to talk after dinner. I'm so hungry. I had not had time to eat breakfast before" said Arumi reasoned.

"Alright then," said Fahri resigned.

Arumi called the waiter at the restaurant. The girl also chose the menu she wanted, and also chose food for Fahri with a similar menu.

After recording the order, the waiter rushed to the kitchen to prepare the order.

Arumi, this girl doesn't stop squeezing her hands under the table. His fingertips were already cold. And the funny thing is, Fahri asked for help while he was afraid if Fahri refused his help.

For quite a while the two were trapped in the residence. Fahri several times sipping his drink, he was also impatient to express his intentions and goals and give an answer to Arumi's offer yesterday.

"Please eat it" said Arumi who looked nervous. Fahri was no less awkward, the man nodded then grabbed his spoon and fork to eat the dish.

Both of them enjoyed the meal quietly without saying anything. After she finished, Arumi put down her cutlery, wiped her lips with tissue, then tried to calm down and listened to the decision made by Fahri.

"Please say what you want to say" Arumi said.

"About yesterday's offer, I decided to approve it" Fahri said steadily.

Arumi blinked her eyes a few times. Really, it doesn't feel real to him. He did not expect that Fahri would approve his offer.

"But I also want to apply for some conditions," continued Fahri.

"What's that?" ask Arumi who is trying to stay cool even though at this time he wants to jump for joy.

"I agreed to it for a reason. Surely my heart remains with my wife. We just get married, without touching or hoping to love each other. Isn't this a mutually beneficial marriage?" ask Fahri.

Arumi was silent for a moment. He tried to digest Fahri's words. The man is willing to marry her, but there is no physical contact or hope that the man will return his love later.

Fahri is looking forward to the answer from Arumi. The girl before him was silent for a long time.

"Miss, did you listen?" ask Fahri.

Instantly, Arumi's daydreams became crumpled. He smiled as he looked at Fahri. "alright. After all, let's just say that this is a business marriage, which means that marriage is mutually beneficial in terms of material things" Arumi said.

"I should've been grateful she accepted my offer. Why did I become greedy to ask for his heart as well? It was also impossible for him to forget his wife so easily. Moreover, he was indeed the type of a stupid man. Even if he gets hurt, he will still love him" Arumi's inner self.

"alright. Well then, there's nothing more we need to discuss. Next, I'll tell you again about our marriage. And I'll prepare the money tomorrow" Arumi said.

"Can you temporarily buy up wedding time? I just got my divorce. It's impossible if I can get married that fast. There is at least a span of marriage after divorce," explained Fahri.

"What's? Divorced? So they're getting a divorce?" inner Arumi.

"alright. We'll get married once you're ready" Arumi said.

"Then, we've agreed from now on." Arumi reached out her hand, to invite Fahri to shake hands as a sign of their agreement.

Fahri's hand was moved to shake Arumi's hand. Divorce will soon be in sight. He will release Sifa and rebuild the marriage together with Arumi.

As Arumi said, the marriage of the deal was a business marriage. Of course, the two are mutually beneficial in terms of material. Without having to be asked to love each other.

After agreeing, Fahri also excused his resignation. Today he will return to work as usual, while Arumi, getting into his car headed home.
