Forced to Marry a Rich Widow
Let's Move

"Cla."

Glenca, Adrian's son-in-law, sends a text message to Clara.

"Yes, why?" answer Clara.

"Can we meet?. There's something important I want to talk about. You see, talking here is not good." said Glenca again.

"When do you see me?" Clara asked back.

"Can you today?"

"OK." replied Clara.

"Pass comes home from work." he continued later.

"OK." answered Glenca.

So they finally met shortly after work. That day Glenca talked about his offer last time. About intending to introduce Clara to someone.

Because he had been urged by the prospective in-laws to immediately arrange a meeting between Ferdi and Clara.

"But Glen, I'm close to someone now." Clara said while remembering about Ferdi. Without him knowing if Glenca wants to match himself with the same person.

"Oh yeah, who?" Glenca asked the woman.

"There is" Clara replied with a smile and a shy blush.

Glenca recalled the words of her future in-laws, that they should get Clara for Ferdi. Now he's worried, because Clara has someone else.

"But, are you sure about that guy?" ask her later.

This time Clara looked at Glenca.

"Mmm, I mean, sure he's serious?" continued again.

Glenca's words made Clara feel a little hesitant. He did not know if Ferdi was serious or not about him. While he is currently in need of a male figure, which can be made into an impromptu husband.

"Mmm, sure koq." replied Clara in a stammering tone.

"I'm sure he'll be serious." continued Glenca later.

He was getting pinched, afraid that this matchmaking process could not continue. He was confused and had to rack his brain, looking for ways how everything could go smoothly.

"This is all, if for example later he is not serious or anything. You just call me, which of me must be serious koq. Guaranteed!"

Clara smiled, even chuckled.

"Koq is a forced matchmaking kayak anyway?" the joke then.

"Eee, no maksa koq. Just trying to offer something better. Let's not be lonely, and that's it hehehe."

Glenca sipped her drink, because now she began to feel awkward and misbehaved. While Clara was still acting relaxed, she thought this was all very funny. She was a widow, but it was the people around her who bothered to find a new partner for her.

That night Ferdi was smiling to himself in his room, as silence began to break out.

After work, he walked with Clara. Right after Clara met Glenca, they made a pact to eat and walk together. Then there were also some photos that they took on Ferdi's mobile phone.

The handsome young man was lying there looking at the photo. Like a teenager who has just fallen in love.

"Ferdi."

Suddenly Frans lowered his head at the door. Because Ferdi is a habit of always forgetting to lock the door.

"What?"

Ferdi replied while hastily closing the mobile phone gallery, so Frans would not see his picture with Clara.

"Raptain you?" frans asked as he approached, then sat down on the side of his sister's bed.

"Why not, why?" Ferdi asked back.

"In order to eat with papa, lo." said Frans again.

"Your boyfriend?" Frans speculated.

"No." replied Ferdi, but in an unconvincing tone.

"Not so." Frans said with a laugh. Ferdi also laughed.

"Oh, people don't."

"Still stiff, like a 14-year-old." ledek Frans later.

Ferdi just kept laughing.

"Eh, I'd like to order a coffee. Do you want to?" Frans offered Ferdi.

"If you have coffee, you will." replied Ferdi.

So Frans also scroll the food search page on his online ojek account. Then he ordered coffee, and gave Ferdi his phone to choose his own.

"Well, you choose which one" Frans said

Ferdi also chose. A few seconds later the coffee arrived. Frans and Ferdi then spent time on the balcony, coffee and chatting.

Nothing happened, all the chatter sounded casual and normal. Then Jeffrey came to see them both.

"So there's no more time?"

Frans asked Jeffrey. When his father had finished explaining about Ferdi's matchmaking that must be accelerated. Frans knows that Ferdi is currently in love with someone.

"We are desperate, and we need help from that woman as soon as possible" Jeffri said.

While Ferdi was silent, he was completely unable to do anything. He had promised his father from a long time ago. That he would accept the match. He did not expect that he would fall in love with another woman in such a fast tempo.

"You want to help papa, don't you, Fer?"

Jeffri asked while looking at his son closely, and Ferdi just looked down resignedly.

"Pa, actually Ferdi..."

Frans was about to say if Ferdi was currently involved with someone, but Ferdi's eyes blocked the pace of his brother's speech. Frans took a breath and stopped everything.

"Papa knows this is cruel. But right now, you're the only one who can help papa and save us all. Papa expects a lot from you, Ferdi."

Ferdi sighed and looked down deeply again, as did Jeffri.

"Sorry papa, you can't be a good father to you. For you." continued the man.

"Ferdi sincere koq, pa. Ferdi promised to help papa."

Frans cast his gaze far ahead. He could not see his sister's face. Jeffri now increasingly feels like the most evil parents in the world.

***

As gray as the atmosphere of Ferdi's house that night, Clara was silent in the corner of the room. Because his father's confidants suddenly call and tell, if they have to move fast.

Before Nando did anything further to the branch of the company that is currently still held by him.

"We don't stay silent for too long, Clara. Unless you're willing to give up that company, to be completely under Nando's control. And let go of whatever happens next."

Such were the words that Clara heard. Of course the woman was not willing. Although this was part of the mistake and carelessness of his late father himself.

She would not give in to her ex-husband. Moreover, everything belongs to Nando at this time, also enjoyed by his new wife as well.

"I now have a partner. I'm going to talk about this with my partner" Clara said.

"Good, at least get married. What matters is status first." said confidant Clara's father in a happy tone. He was relieved that Clara was finally serious about this.

It was nothing, he also deeply regretted the stupidity of Clara's late father who made a pact so hastily, and without thinking about the bad possibilities ahead of him.

"Just calm down, tomorrow Clara talks to the same person. He'd be willing to help, if Clara explained in detail."

"Ok, you set it. If you need help, just call. While Nando's still off guard, we have to move fast."

"Yes, Clara knows." replied Clara later.
