"This is the last one" Rafael said at the end. "We're gonna buy all this."
Alesha just scrunched her eyebrows. "Whataa? What's all this tacky outfit for?"
Rafael now raised his eyebrows. "You must wear these clothes! At least when I met him. Your status in that public space is the love of CEO Rafael Zafran. You can't wear clothes like that."
Zaara's eyes drooled at Rafael's stagnant and repetitive remarks.
Then the man handed Zaara a pair of clothes. It was the first dress she chose.
"It looks like this one is more suitable to wear today" Rafael said as he thrust the clothes at Alesha.
Looking at her, Alesha could only sculpt while giving Rafael a pushy look.
"Let's take it and change!" Rafael urges. "I've already dropped the label. So, I'll pay it first. You wait here."
By force, Alesha took the clothes. He then returned to the dressing room with his spontaneous steps.
Meanwhile, Rafael rushes towards the cashier to pay for the clothes.
How many minutes passed, Alesha finally returned from that dressing room.
Alesha could only grumble inwardly looking at her appearance in front of the large mirror provided at the clothes booth in the Mall.
The woman did not understand why Rafael was so eager to turn her into such a bad figure. Her hair, which was originally blonde and straight, now turned jet black and curly. His clothes were originally sexy, now become like schoolgirl clothes.
What's more, the one thing she hated the most was how Rafael told her to remove all her makeup. His face became round, his lips became pale.
While the eyeliner in her eyes that she liked so much and made her look bolder, it has now been removed and made her look like a baby. Alesha looked at herself like a sick person who was raining down right now. So horrid.
Alesha was furious of course, but all she could do was quietly hold back while secretly grumbling.
Given Rafael who will always threaten him if he does not want to obey what the man wants to do.
Alesha almost forgot what was written in the contract, where Rafael asked him to always help her, and obey what was ordered.
Luckily, Alesha's smart brain can think of preventive measures to prevent things that could endanger her future.
He almost signed the contract for free without additional requirements which of course will make the power fully exercised by Rafael arbitrarily.
However, no matter what the circumstances, for him now the most important thing is the recovery of his mother. Yeah, let's just say he's working hard scavenging wages for those insane operating expenses.
Alesha sat on the chair at the booth while waiting for Rafael to take care of the payment.
The quiet atmosphere, suddenly brought his daydream to think about his mother's health more deeply. Alesha still remembered the doctor's words this afternoon. Suddenly what the doctor said rang in his ear.
Her mother's condition is not stable. It still takes time for the operation. He wondered about the contract marriage he would have with Rafael. When will it start?
Do not let the ridiculous agreement he did for the safety of his mother is actually preventing him to take care of his mother who will be operated on.
Alesha suddenly hesitated.
Some time too engrossed in his daydreams, he was not aware of the presence of Rafael who was now looking at him strangely.
"Hey, let's go!" said Rafael who stared in wonder at the woman with a blank look that seemed to be carrying a heavy burden.
Alesha flinched, until she held her own chest. The woman took a small breath when she realized it was Rafael.
Rafael then took him out of the Mall area.
They're getting into the car. Although still curious, Alesha lazily asked a lot about their goals because he still harbored his anger now.
Rafael then starts the car engine. The man behind the wheel took his car north.
For a few minutes of rolling time, Alesha simply threw her gaze out the window. Through various shophouses and tall buildings that he often passed.
Rafael cars then go through various twists and turns that are increasingly difficult to remember.
Until then the car went to a place, where the road had never passed Alesha at all. The woman immediately flinched.
"Where are we going?"
"Till in a minute." Raphael answered his question, making Alesha more agitated.
Not long after, a gate began to be seen showing the name of a housing in front.
Alesha was even dumbfounded and did not blink while staring.
Rafael raised next to his eyebrows. "Just ask?"
"Hey, you yourself haven't said anything to me. How could I know?" Alesha now voiced out with annoyed intonation.
Alesha was not only annoyed, but completely enraged. Damn, he can't do anything. How not? He still vividly remembered how Rafael answered his question with such an annoying question while acting soberly mysterious.
Now he panics alone.
"Well, I'll take you to my house." Rafael finally tells Alesha. "To meet my mama," he continued.
"WHAT?" Alesha screamed in surprise.
Rafael's car suddenly braked suddenly, making both of them crashed forward.
Rafael held his breath, then looked at Alesha fiercely. He who was shocked by the voice of the woman's screams, suddenly unconsciously braked his car. Fortunately, the streets in the housing are quiet.
"Why are you suddenly shouting?" annoyed.
"You still ask why? Of course I'm surprised!" Alesha snapped back. "Why suddenly take me to your parents' house, huh? Why are you saying now?" Alesha vented her anger that she had been holding back.
Rafael has now lowered his intonation. "My situation is very urgent now. If you don't do it now, a disaster will happen."
Alesha screeches. "At least if you talk early, I can also prepare myself early, right?"
"You don't have to prepare anything. I've prepared everything, as I planned." Rafael intends to defend himself, while defending Alesha.
But what happened, the woman was even more upset.
"You really don't understand what I mean. In this way, you who want to let go of your own urges instead push that urge on others." Alesha looked at Rafael with a pushy look.
"What's pressing you? You just have to keep quiet following my lead." Rafael returned his gaze.
"Hey, Mr. Rafael. Did you put brains in a pile of your company files? You don't think how panicked I am to think about what I'm going to do and what I'm going to say in front of your mama?"
"Even until now, you haven't said anything. Oh ... Are you telling me to pretend to be a mute girl?" Alesha let out her emotions in tails, sounding from low to high intonation.
"Miss Alesha, you've been talking too much." Rafael looked at him straight.
"outrageous? No. gabe. This is my true nature." The woman replied firmly.
Rafael now turned his eyes away in great annoyance.
"alright. Sorry."
He looked back at Alesha. "Look! You just have to behave accordingly. Your role is what you look like now."
"Don't make my mama don't like it or like it. When she asks about your life, answer her questions and when she asks about our first meeting, just tell me about the time I saved you at the Mall."
Alesha threw her face forward, exhaling violently.
"Good."
Rafael then re-started the engine of his car. Only a few more buildings reached his home.
Soon, they arrived before a gate slowly opened by security guards. Rafael took his car in, so he stopped in the middle of his yard.
"Come out and wait here. I will park the car first" Rafael told Alesha later.
Alesha exhaled her breath with a huff. He could be really crazy in that place. Although he is good at acting or making up though, still has not prepared any scenarios for unexpected situations that will be faced later.
Alesha got out of Rafael's car doubtfully. Closing the door of his car and standing.
Rafael's car slowly leaves Alesha's presence alone, seeing the view of the young master's house.
The courtyard of the house that was so beautiful was presented for free in front of his eyes. Alesha seemed to be able to scoop up hundreds of cubic centimeters of oxygen here. However, from earlier his breath was stifled as if there was a ghost who was sealing it now.
Alesha was so nervous. He then moved his legs forward slowly.
Until a second later, from the door of the teak house came out a woman who was carrying a box of garbage. The woman seemed to want to throw it into the trash can next to the house.
Alesha who was watching him quietly became stiff. His body was confused as to how. Shut up, get close, or run away from here and then the woman looks up.
Their gazes met, and Alesha's breathing seemed to stop at once.
