Business, Hate And Love
Chapter 1 - Offer

Buccane..

The screaming sound of the middle-aged woman from the kitchen made a 26-year-old woman rush out of the room.

Maudi Aletta, run to the origin of the sound. His eyes were round when he saw his father lying on the floor.

His mother cried while holding the head of the man she loved and kept calling his name.

"Dad!" he quickly stepped up.

"Wake up!" Mom kept patting dad on the cheek.

"I'll call Brother, Mom!" Maudy ran to her room and grabbed her phone on the nightstand and called her older brother.

The phone number he called was not connected. Maudy was upset.

The girl ran into the kitchen to help her mother lift her father's body.

As soon as they left the room, Maudy asked her mother for permission to go to the doctor's house at the end of the street.

"It's been night and it's raining, are you sure you're going to his house?"

"Yes, Mom. We don't have the doctor's phone number, so I have to go to his house" Maudy replied.

"What do you want to go up there?"

"Car, Mom."

Maudy's mother, Vienna, agreed because her daughter had left in a four-wheeled vehicle.

Maudy breaks through the rain and darkness of the night, in order to pick up the doctor.

Maudy got out of the car, pressing the bell repeatedly. The clothes he was wearing were half wet even though he was using an umbrella but the wind was blowing hard to make water hit his body.

Almost 5 minutes, standing in front of the gate a young man estimated to be 27 years old approached him. "You who?"

"I'm Maudy, Doctor. I am the daughter of Rama Aletta" she replied.

"I know him, what's wrong with him?"

"He fainted" he replied again.

"Please wait a minute, I'll get medical supplies" the doctor said.

"I'll wait in the car, Doc."

The man nodded, and ran to his house.

Maudy was shaking while driving.

"Calm down!"

"Yes, Doc."

Maudy got out of the car and watched the man step onto the porch. After closing her umbrella, she opened the door.

"Mom, the doctor's coming!" his yell.

Maudy looked at the doctor, "Let me drive to Dad's room, Doc!"

The young man named God nodded.

Finished checking, God said that Maudy's father was in shock.

Maudy and her mother can breathe a sigh of relief.

The god prescribed the medicine and he suggested that his father Maudy rest enough.

Maudy drove the doctor home again, although the rain had subsided there was no way she had told him to walk.

"Doctor, thank you for helping me today!"

"Together" said the Lord. "I forgot to tell you, you were supposed to change your clothes."

"I'm very worried about my father, Doc. Until I forget about myself," he smiled thinly.

"I understand, but your health condition must still be maintained if you do not want both parents to be sad."

"Yes, Doc. Thank you for reminding me" Maudy said.

"Sama-sama," the god got out of the car.

Maudy drove around her vehicle to her house. He went to his room to change his clothes. Before going to sleep he wandered. "What's making you shocked?"

****

The next morning, before leaving for the office. Maudy had breakfast, and the occasional sneeze made her worried.

"You sick?"

"Just sneeze, Mom."

"Mother will make ginger tea," offered it.

"No need, Mom. It will soon be healed" Maudy said. "Mom, if I may know you're in shock because of what?" he continued asking occasionally his fingers nudged his nose.

"The company suffered a loss, Maudy. The housing complex that has been completed fifty percent must be abandoned, because there are no investors" explained Maudy named Wika.

"Do we have no other solution?"

"There's."

"What is that, Mom?"

"Wedding."

Maudy frowned.

"You."

"Mom, am I married? With who?"

"Mister Tian's first son is looking for a wife, I want you to marry him" replied Wika.

"No, Ma. I don't want to marry a man I don't know at all" Maudy refused.

"Please, Son. You are our hope," said Wika.

"I'm going to find another way to save the company without getting married" Maudy said.

"What way do you want to use it? Borrow it to the bank?"

"Yes, Mom."

"In fact, our debt in the bank has accumulated if it is not repaid then this house, Mother's car and you are confiscated."

Maudy clenched his hand.

"This is the easiest and quickest way, after all Mr. Tian does want you to be his daughter-in-law."

Maudy sighed.

"Hows it? Do you want to?"

"Let me think again, Mom." Maudy grabbed the bag and the car keys didn't forget to kiss the back of her mother's hand.

Maudy stepped into the car and sped into his office.

In the office, he massaged his temple. Yes, he thought about his mother's words. If he is the one who can help the life of his family.

"Maudy, someone wants to see you!"

"Who is he, Karen?"

"I don't know, he's a handsome guy who seems to want to cooperate with our company" he replied.

"Well, I'll meet him." Maudy closed her laptop, stood up and stepped outside to meet her guests.

A man stood facing the window, looking at the street from the seventh floor.

"Good day, sir!" greet Maudy.

The man turned his body, watching the woman from the bottom up.

Maudy who was noticed felt clumsy. "Please sit down, sir!"

The man followed his orders.

"What can I help you with?"

"Are you the daughter of Rama Aletta?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Before our parents meet between you and me, I offer you an agreement."

"I haven't agreed to an arranged marriage, suddenly you come to offer a deal" Maudy smiled cynically.

"It turns out, you're rejecting this match. But both of your parents wanted it. Especially your father's company who needs our help."

"Yes, I know we need investor funds but not by a forced marriage like this!"

"Hey, we're married for business. So don't take it seriously."

"I consider a once in a lifetime marriage not a business let alone getting married not based on love!"

The man laughed.

"Save your agreement and please leave!" emphasizing words.

"There'll be a call from your mother soon!" The man crossed his legs and crossed his chest.

And sure enough, Maudy's phone rang with her mother's name.

"Hello, Mom!"

"Maudy, your father was rushed to the hospital!"

"What!"

"Hurry up here!"

"Good, Mom!" Maudy hung up the phone and stood up.

"Hey, where are you going?" The man lowered one leg from his thigh and stood up.

Maudy did not answer, her face was very panicked. Maudy turned her body about to come out of the room.

The man held his arm, "I'll drive you!"

Maudy did not agree, but quickly lowered the man's hand.

In the parking lot, "Go to my car, you can't drive if you panic!"

Maudy finally obeyed the man's words. He got into the car in front of him.

In the car, they both sat in the passenger seat. Maudy bit her nails and kept staring at the street. His mind was confused and his heart was not calm.

"If you want to accept this match, your father will be fine."

Maudy turned her head and said with a sharp look, "Can you stop babbling!"

The man looked a little surprised to see Maudy's facial expression, and smiled and said, "Alright!"
