Getting Married for Lying
026 - Pick up

"Lamia, are you okay?"

Vaya helps Lamia to stand up. Lamia immediately went on a show, pretending to be a victim so that no one would blame her. Evi glared irritatedly at Lamia who was seen playing a show, she saw very clearly as Lamia deliberately crashed herself towards Vaya.

"Lamia, are you okay?" ask Mr. Andre.

"I'm okay, sir. What I worry about is that the clothes of Bu Vaya get dirty so because of me, I'm sorry, Mom," said Lamia made-up.

"It's okay, the stain must be gone if it's washed," said Vaya.

"Oh so, thank God, ouch," Lamia again complained while holding her ankle.

"What's up, Lamia?" ask Mr. Andre.

"My legs are sick, sir," Lamia replied.

"Oh, does it need to go to the hospital to get checked out?" ask Mr. Andre.

Lamia again put on an expression of pain that made Evi grieve.

"Yes, I took Lamia to the hospital" said Mr. Andre.

"Oh, sorry for the trouble," Lamia said.

"Here I help you walk, Lamia" said Vaya.

"Mbak Vaya," Evi held Vaya's hand.

"What's up, Evi?" ask Vaya.

Evi blinked her eyes many times, hoping that Vaya would understand what she meant.

"Your eyes are light, Evi?" ask Vaya.

Duh Gusti's! Vaya is insensitive anyway?! Inner Evi.

Vaya helps Lamia to walk towards the parking lot leading to Mr. Andre's car. Andre was waiting in his car.

Slowly Lamia entered the car while grimacing repeatedly in pain.

"Bu Vaya, wear it to cover your dirty clothes" Mr. Andre handed Vaya a jacket.

"Thank you, Mr. Andre," Vaya received the jacket.

Vaya's white shirt is filled with spilled food stains and really looks dirty.

"Alright, then, I take Lamia to the hospital," Mr. Andre hurried over.

"Well, sir," said Vaya.

Vaya immediately put on the jacket given by Mr. Andre and left the parking area as soon as the car driven by Mr. Andre sped away.

Vaya returns to the table where Evi, Faisal, and Yudi wait.

"Mbak Vaya, has Lamia been taken to the hospital?" ask Faisal.

"Had, just left" said Vaya.

"Well, it looks like the shoes Lamia wore were too high until she fell so," Yudi chimed in.

"So it's one of his shoes, Yud?" cycad Evi.

"Yes, who's to blame?" reply Yudi.

"Have, have it, let's just eat, I want to take another side dish" said Vaya.

Evi immediately followed Vaya.

"Mbak Vaya, I saw for myself, Lamia accidentally hit Mbak then fell!" said Evi.

"Leave it, Evi, it's up to Lamia to lie anyway she will get the stone" said Vaya.

Vaya was stunned by the words that came out of her mouth. Speech that seems to be aimed at himself.

...*****...

"The number you are going to does not answer, please leave a message after the following tone..."

Again the phone operator who answered when Mike called Vaya's phone.

"Where did the woman go? He said he was late?" chirps Vier.

"I'll ask the security guard, sir," Mike said.

Mike immediately got out of the car, his steps stopped as he approached the security guard standing in front of Vaya's office building.

"Good night, is Miss Vaya around?" ask Mike.

The security guard named Jamil noticed Mike's appearance from head to toe.

"Who is? Why look for Vaya's mom?" jay asked skeptically.

"I came to pick him up" answered Mike.

"Bu Vaya has come home since then" Jamil said.

"From earlier? When exactly is that, sir?" ask Mike.

"Yes, from now on" Jamil said.

Mike rushes back to the car, he immediately sits in the steering wheel.

"Sir Vier, according to information from security officers, Ms. Vaya has come home from earlier," said Mike.

Vier who was struggling in front of his smart device immediately switched.

"What's? From earlier? I just called Mr. Jo, and she's not home yet, Mike" Vier said

"Yes, Ms. Vaya was contacted and did not answer" Mike said.

"Ck, where did that woman go? Did he run away?" ask Vier.

"Well, well, I even came to pick her up all the way here, but she ran away! Really too! Haha!" Vier laughed in annoyance as he threw his gaze out the window.

Mike frowned, didn't you just say just stop by to make sure that Miss Vaya was really overtime at the office?

"Haha! You lying woman! Yes, yes, he is indeed an unbelievable liar! It's under contract only he's still breaking!" Vier grumbled while laughing.

The way Vier expressed his frustration was indeed unique. Angry but laughing.

"Lho, isn't that Miss Vaya?"

Mike pointed towards the building's courtyard, a woman descending from a motorcycle driven by a man.

Vier's eyes are rounded, forcing his pupils to magnify many times in order to capture high definition image projections.

Vaya is seen waving his hand to the driver of the motorcycle before the driver leaves Vaya.

...*****...

"Thank you, Faisal, for taking you back to the office."

Vaya got off the motorcycle driven by Faisal. Vaya was given a ride back to the office by Faisal upon his return from angkringan.

"Together, ma'am, after all my house is in the direction of the office" Faisal said.

"Yes, be careful, until tomorrow!"

Vaya waved her hand after Faisal drove through the darkness of the night.

"Night, Mr. Jamil."

Sapa Vaya to the security guard standing in front of the building.

"Night, Miss Vaya, where's Mom from?" ask Jamil.

"Oh, it was out with the team" replied Vaya.

"Oh yes, Mom, someone was looking for Ms. Vaya" Jamil said.

"Oh, I see," said Vaya.

Maybe the driver picked me up, Inner Vaya.

Vaya picks up his smart device from the bag, and there are some missed calls from Mike.

"Sir Jamil, I go home first yes," Vaya said goodbye.

"Oh yes, ma'am, be careful" Jamil said.

Vaya speeds up to a nearby stop, where he usually waits for the driver's invitation to drive him home.

Vaya sits waiting at the stop, he immediately calls Mike.

"Hello, Mr. Mike, I was still on the road, so I couldn't answer the phone, what was it?" ask Vaya as soon as Mike answers his phone.

"Where's your position now, Mom?" ask Mike.

"I'm at the nearest stop of my office" Vaya replied.

"All right" answered Mike.

Tut...

Phone disconnected.

"What the hell is wrong with this guy? He and his boss are both weird," Vaya grumbled.

A luxury car suddenly stopped in front of the stop. Mike's figure came out of the driver's door, rushed over to Vaya.

"Lho, Mr Mike?" Vaya surprised.

"Good night, Miss Vaya, please come in."

Mike opens the back door for Vaya.

"Lho, why did you pick me up, Mr Mike?" ask Vaya while entering the car.

"Looked, did you pick up Mike?"

The flat voice made Vaya turn to someone sitting in the front seat.

"Vi - Vier!"

Vaya jumped in shock to see Vier grinning horror.
