"What do you mean, om?"
A clueless Clara asked one of her late father's confidants. Regarding why there are children of the company that until now is still held by the ex-husband.
"So long ago, before your late father set you up with Nando. Your father and Nando's father were involved in an agreement. At that time your father wanted to establish full cooperation with Nando's father's company.
"Dad Nando undertakes, as long as there is marriage between you. Plus, there is a guarantee of one of the subsidiaries that must be held by Nando."
"So?"
"Your father is pretty smart. He did not immediately bequeath the subsidiary to Nando. In the letter, the company's children should only be held by your husband. And if you get divorced, the power of that subsidiary will be transferred to your new husband. Before you remarry, Nando will take care of it."
Clara was surprised to hear all that. He was never told about the strange agreement. At that time he was only asked by his father to marry Nando. It just so happened that Nando was quite handsome for his size back then.
Clara, who had never been in love before, accepted her father's request. He never thought that their marriage was motivated by a business agreement. Clara was only a teenager at the time and she just complied.
"So the only way you can get back into control of that subsidiary, you'll have to get married again."
Clara's father's confidant is back. While Clara was suddenly confused, what kind of attitude should she show. To this day, he has not thought of remarrying.
The offer from the prospective daughter-in-law Adrian last time he had not fulfilled. Though it was just a request to get acquainted with one of his closest friends.
Clara felt there was such a thing as a reluctant feeling of hurry. Moreover, he had failed and until now the relationship with the ex-husband, not to mention improved.
Clara was afraid of misstepping and failing again for the second time. He currently only thinks about the condition of the three children he has, and only focuses on their lives and education.

"If I say, you find out who the cake is. Marriage by agreement. Ajakin kongkalikong when necessary."
Friska the friend gave an opinion, when she was curated by Clara. This happened a few days after work.
"I mean I pay that guy, pretend to marry me?" ask Clara to her best friend.
While Valerie, the other friend is now listening and paying close attention.
"Yes, and make a deal with that guy. If the power over the subsidiary has been obtained, he must hand it over equally and you will pay him. Make a deal in front of the law enforcement if necessary. To avoid things that are not desirable." said Friska again.
Clara seemed to think this time.
"Who but?. One of the employees at the office?"
"It's okay" said Friska.
"What do you think, Val?"
Clara asked Valerie for her opinion.
"If I agree with Friska. As long as it can make a subsidiary of lo back yes, why not?. Than in the same master of your ex-boy and his second wife who is OKB."
Valerie and Friska are now compactly staring at Clara. Clara had to make a decision soon. Because he does not want to let the ex-husband with his new wife enjoy the company money. It is the right of him and the children.

"Can't it be repaired?"
Jeffery asked Adrian that afternoon.
"No way, Jeff. Five investors are already going to stop injecting their funds into us. We are on the edge of the horn now. We must immediately establish cooperation again with people who do not know that we are almost uprooted."
Jeffri sighed. Not to mention his condition recovered 100%, he had to rethink that.
It hurts so much the head. But inevitably he had to find a way out, because he was a leader. There are hundreds of employees who depend on it.
"Please take care of Ferdi and Clara. As soon as this matchmaking must be realized immediately. Whatever way I give it up. Lo who set the scenario and must succeed" said Jeffri later.
"Okay, if that's what you want. I will." replied Adrian.

Clara, Friska, and Valerie part ways in the parking lot. After more than two hours they talked, drank, and ate together. The three friends are now both heading to their respective cars.
Clara wants to get home soon, because there is an appointment to accompany the youngest to study together.
"Braaac."
The car door closed and locked. Clara immediately started the car engine and the gas tank left the place.
"Mom, where are you?"
The youngest sent a short message to Clara via WhatsApp. Because it is impossible to type a message while driving. Clara made a phone call to her son and activated the loud speaker.
"Hallo, mom."
"Hey, honey. I'm on my way." said Clara.
"Oh, it's still a long time?" ask the boy to Clara.
"Yes, it's about fifteen minutes. Mama speeding koq."
"Slow down, there will be nothing if speeding. I don't want anything bad to happen to you."
Clara smiled at haru. His children have always been strong in every situation.
"Okay, wait for my mom at home."
"okay."
"Bye honey."
"Bye mom."
Clara stopped the phone, then she continued to drive through the road by road. Everything seemed fine, until finally the car he was driving stopped suddenly. Clara was surprised, but then the woman tried to revive the car engine.
"Why is this a car?" he said he kept trying. But again it didn't work.
Clara got out of the car and opened the hood. He tried to check even though he did not understand the part at all.
He just wanted to know if there were any smoky parts or not. Because it can be an indicator of the cause of the strike that he experienced.
"Well, why is this?"
Clara is starting to get angry.
"What's wrong, mbak?"
Someone who just got out of his car approached. He almost hit Clara's car, because Clara's car was right around a corner. And he doesn't put a sign on the back if there's a car stopping.
"Eh my mas."
Clara fell silent, and so did the man.
"Ferdi?"
"Mr?"
"It's lucky you're Fer. This car suddenly broke down. You don't know the engine, you don't know the automotive."
"OK, okay. We push the car a bit forward first, because this is at the bend mbak. I stopped because I almost hit the car."
"Oh, okay." replied Clara.
So Ferdi then pushed the woman's car.
