Thomas came out of the office with a happy face while clutching his ugly cell phone that was in his pants pocket. Already transferred, the hard work this month finally paid off. Not much, 12 million, but he still has a part-time salary as a private teacher.
"Hey! Thomas!" Thomas looked over and saw Dimas.
"Here the payday, let's have a drink tonight" Dimas said with a big smile and patted Thomas on the shoulder.
"I'm the deal!"
"...I can't afford to." Thomas looked up and saw Dimas who was much taller than him. Then he added, "I have other business."
"Don't you just teach other people's children to learn?! What is the day permit, anyway? You see your body this thin, come with me to eat to add a little more nutrients."
"Another day if there's time." Thomas rubbed his nose and turned and left.
He knew Dimas' good intentions, yet he didn't want to receive any help in any form. Debt is a debt that is difficult to pay off.
"Yin!! Tiing! Tying!" Sound notification phone.
Thomas pulled out his cell phone, this was a message sent by Wanda, his future wife.
"Beb, it's payday, huh? Tomorrow I have to pay for tutoring."
Thomas smiled, so he immediately replied to his message. "How much?"
"Not much, six million." Plus a sweet smile sticker.
Thomas's eyebrows instantly shriveled, then retorted: "That much?"
"Not much, you don't know at all, I have to teach seven to eight subjects." replied Wanda.
Les does need money, Thomas does not think long, so immediately transfer 6 million to him, all of them adding: "Today is the weekend, my mother told you to come home for dinner."
"Can't, today I have an extra class, I'm going to intern soon. I love Bebeb, muach!"
Although the day was quite heavy, he was still grateful.
When Thomas was one month old, he was dumped by his biological parents on the side of the road, his foster father named Tanto Widjaja was the one who brought him home.
When Thomas was first grade, a friend of his foster father came to bring a daughter to see them, after eating and chatting, they finally decided on this matchmaking.
When third grade High School, Wanda's father's business fails, Tanto takes the initiative to help the Wanda family.
Tanto worked as a transport driver in the development project, when their family was quite well-off, his mother was also still very fit, to finance the school Wanda still able.
According to Tanto, these are not two families, as Wanda is his future son-in-law.
After his foster father dies in an accident because the car he is transporting is overloaded, help from the Widjaja family keeps flowing, and Thomas bears most of the cost.
But as Wanda enters third-year college, Thomas begins to feel a little overwhelmed.
"It's okay, there's still free time. If it's not enough, I can add one more part time." Thomas comforts himself while unlocking the safety of his motorbike, then drives towards the hospital.
After taking the medicine to the hospital, he went to the bookstore to buy reference books as well as materials for teaching.
When passing through a mall, Thomas stopped for a moment, remembering his brother who had not had a new shirt for a long time.
He started counting, the money to buy his mother's medicine about 4 million every month, rent, electricity and water 2 million, daily needs about 2 million... The rest of the money goes to college with his girlfriend.
There's still a little money left. So after consideration, he parked his bike and entered the mall.
The third floor is a fashion area. Thomas could not afford to buy branded clothes, and he was aware of this. The target is clothing that is covered.
After driving around, Thomas bought three stels of clothing that were still quite decent with a million dollars. She also bought a light blue long dress with beautiful floral motifs.
As soon as he imagined the face of his sister who was so happy to see the new clothes he gave her, a satisfied smile immediately rose on Thomas's face.
And as he came out of the store getting ready to go home, he suddenly saw a figure that he was so familiar with. And this guy shouldn't be here.
He stopped his steps.
This... A wanda? Didn't he say there was an extra class?
Thomas was surprised, then reflexed to hide, when he saw the woman turned his head, Thomas immediately recognized Wanda.
When he raised his head to look at the name of the shop where Wanda was, he suddenly grimaced. This is a Marks&Spencer store! The clothes sold here are at least 2 million one stel!
Some time ago, Thomas had taken his sister around in this mall. As soon as he saw the price of the item here, the two of them could only retreat slowly.
And finally decided to go eat bakmi for 16 thousand.
"Where does he get money to shop in a place like this?"
Seeing Wanda who immediately bought three sets of clothes there just came out of Mark & Spencer, Thomas was very upset.
On second thought, he walked into the store, then met the waiter who helped Wanda choose the clothes, and the price of the clothes he bought was even 6 million after the discount. Thomas felt so emotional.
Not until five minutes, the sound of a car roaring with noise.
A red Ferrari slowly approached and stopped in front of Wanda.
Bamm! Thomas's mind was empty. He went ahead and called.
"Wanda!"
The young man driving the Ferrari instantly furrowed his brows.
"Who is he?"
"Mr Chandra, he's my cousin's brother."
Wanda was surprised, then replied with a sweet smile. "Wait a minute, I'll be right back."
After saying so, Wanda immediately approached Thomas and pulled him away from there.
His expression looked tense, "You don't misunderstand me..."
"I've seen it all."
Thomas tightened his lips, his face so pale as if all the blood in his body had evaporated.
But he was still willing to wait for Wanda to give a reasonable explanation for her, he did not believe this was all real.
After a moment of silence, Wanda decided to take off all her masks and said coldly.
"We just broke up."
"Why?"
"Can you not be so childish, is it still unclear?"
Wanda was embarrassed and angry, but she was also afraid that Mr. Chandra would hear her, so she downplayed her voice. "Sister, I'm a student now, after graduating from college, my mother wants me to continue studying abroad, so understand? We are in two different worlds!"
And for some reason, after saying all this, Wanda immediately felt so relieved, but she still felt the need to remind Thomas once again.
"Receive reality, ok?! We are different, you are just a poor man who has nothing.”
He felt that this was enough to awaken Thomas.
Like a ridge longing for the moon, it was an impossible thing to happen in this real world!
The sooner Thomas accepts this fact, the sooner he will heal his broken heart, this is the greatest help he can do.
However, Thomas' father had a very good relationship with his father during his life, about the tuition supported by the Widjaja Family all this time...
Widjaja's family who gave it willingly, he never asked for it, after all he was not that low, was he merchandise?
Wanda never intended to hand herself over to Thomas after graduation just because the Widjaja Family paid her tuition fees all along.
As a modern woman in the 21st century, matchmaking? It really doesn't make sense!
"Look, he doesn't know our relationship at all, so you understand what I mean, right?"
"It turns out, you've been looking down on me all along." Thomas' voice trembled.
Wanda immediately ignored him and immediately turned around, exclaiming to Mr. Chandra with a voice so sweet, then climbed into the Ferrari car.
"Burney...!" Ferrari drove away, even his future wife was also taken away.
Thomas stood there, trying to accept this harsh reality.
I don't know how long he's been standing there, suddenly his phone rings.
Thomas pulled out his phone stiffly, then pressed the answer button.
"Who?"
Who would have thought the first sentence from across there was, "Cu, I am your grandfather!"
Suddenly hearing this, who was not confused.
The feeling of humiliation was also anger, coupled with this brash phone call.
It was like a storm ravaging Thomas's defenses, sending him into a rage.
"Your granddaughter! You fuck!"
He threw his phone to pieces, then left on his bike.
Thomas did not know, actually the one who called him was not a prankster who was working on him.
But an old man wearing neat clothes with a teak stick.
At this moment, this old man was sitting on an expensive leather sofa that was in the grand living room with a puzzled face.
