What strange feeling is this?
~•~•~
Haura scanned the entire showroom, there lined up smooth cars in various colors, with several types that of course did not come cheap.
"I can't, Boss." Haura refused subtly, because it was possible that these cars cost more than fifty thousand dollars.
"Why? I sincerely gave it to you, as transportation for my contract lover," he said.
Haura took a fretful breath, she really could not choose, or even deserved to have a car that good, the last time she bought a sports car for her ex-husband, for the house of her late mother, he said, and she was not allowed to ride in the car, even after they officially divorced.
"Because it's expensive?" Alden confirmed Haura's doubts, greeted by a small nod from the woman. "The price of the apartment you're occupying right now, is more expensive than these cars" said the man who was currently wearing an ash suit, combined with matching color pants that look perfectly wrapped his legs level, the white turtle neck seems to add perfectly to today's Haura boss, there is a tinge of stiffness in his sentence.
Haura turned around, walking down one by one a car that was neatly displayed in the showroom building.
Haura just had to choose, which was likely very cheap and not burdensome to her boss. Haura's choice fell on the little blue car, which looked cute, had four doors, and four seats, and Haura thought it might have the cheapest price, because it looked petite.
A salesperson explained the specifications of the car that Haura was touching.
"MINI 5 Door Length is 3982 mm, while the width is 1727 mm. While the MINI 5 Door Displacement engine is 1499 cc." The Pramuniaga explained to Haura in detail making Haura slightly agape in understanding.
"You want this?" Alden's voice suddenly was already behind him, making Haura come back in shock. "I chose this car for my fiancee, prepare all her terms for her payment now." Alden said casually, to the woman's saleswoman.
"Well, this is indeed a very appropriate choice for your fiancee, sir." The salesperson went to take care of all the car documents chosen by Haura.
A fiancee? Why did Haura's boss say about fiancees, weren't they fake lovers and then why did this man tell the salesman that they were fiancees.
"How much is that car?" ask Haura to know.
"If I told you, would you be able to pay for it?"
"I just don't want to know."
"Maybe about seventy thousand dollars," the man replied casually, there was no anger because it would pour money for Haura.
Haura herself could only gulp, seventy thousand dollars, not a little money, for Haura alone—gathering that money might take a long time, or maybe a lifetime.
Once all is done, Haura has two options, a car to deliver to the apartment, or she will be able to take the vehicle home directly. However, the woman chose the first option.
Haura will return home by public transport, but what happens is that Alden prevents her and asks her to come to her grandparents' house.
"Follow me, my grandfather and grandmother want to meet you," he asked, Haura who still does not believe she already has a car, is this a year of luck and misfortune? Because he was betrayed, but behind it all he found a glimmer of happiness. If reciting religious sentences, religious leaders—always a rainbow after the storm.
"You want to, don't you?" alden firmly once again, his voice was unable to disperse the daydream of Haura, who had just imagined a bright light of life in her mind.
Actually after the divorce, she just wanted to work quietly—but because her boss was a friend during High School, and made Haura follow the will of this moody man in front of her, inevitably the woman must accept it, after all she has helped him a lot when he was down, just assume he returned Alden's kindness.
"Miss Oxley?!" Alden's voice was slightly raised.
"Yes." Yeah." Haura almost flirted when Alden called her last name, before she used the name Fernard behind her name, but after divorce now she is back using her late father's last name.
"For what?"
"Meeting my grandparents."
"Huh.should it be that fast?"
Alden nodded, then walked out of the showroom of the car. What Haura had to do this time, as a contract boyfriend, she had to act as if they were lovers who loved each other.
~•~•~
Both have arrived at a large house, actually can not also be called a house, because this building is like a castle on a hill that spoils the eye, because the building is like a castle on top of a hill, with a green expanse of pine trees along the way. Alden's car entered the old gate. However, it still stands strong even though it is old. They were greeted by several guards, who immediately bowed when they found out Alden's car had gone inside.
"Do your grandparents live here?"
"Yes, even my mom and dad, too. Not only that, my grandparents were born and died here, too" said Alden, still concentrating on the steering wheel, and parking the car not far from a beautiful fountain.
Haura scanned this whole place, the cool air filled Haura's lungs, what a dream residence, because it was far from downtown Tadpole that was never empty of life.
Alden got out of the car, then he turned around, and opened the door for Haura, it was so sweet that—ia did not walk away immediately, but she immediately took Haura's hand, making Haura's heart seem to stop beating. Actually, Alden had dragged Haura's hand several times, but this time he felt warmth in Alden's touch.
"This is a formality, look at my grandparents' guards!"
Haura looked to the right and to the left. True, many of the guards turned out that the lord and mistress of Walsh did not really live there by themselves, as many workers were enlivening this luxurious castle.
Alden grabbed Haura's arm and wrapped it around his own arm, both completely like lovers who were in a drunken stupor.
He opened the big door, walked slowly towards the dining room—Haura's steps came to a halt when she saw that there were several people filling the dining chair there. Alden turned his head and saw an uncomfortable expression on the beautiful woman's face. After all, Haura went there wearing casual clothes, while the people who were chatting there were wearing formal clothes. Haura also saw the woman who slapped her the other day successfully making her cheeks hot and her ears buzzing violently.
"What's wrong?" ask Alden, stop the move.
Before Haura answered, a slightly old voice called out Alden's name, the man turned his head.Her grandmother was already standing and was about to walk towards the two of them who were still pecking at the doorway.
"Who is this Miss?" sweep, again. His expression was very friendly, even though his face was no longer young.
"My love, Grandma."
"Love? But—" The words of the grandmother stuck in the throat, the woman who had wrinkles in some parts of her face was flabbergasted to hear a slipping sentence from the lips of the grandson.
"Yes, even we've been living together for a few months."
Now Haura who gulped when Alden seemed to confess that the two had really been living under one roof.
"Hey..you!" The beautiful woman who had been taking part in the lunch stood up and rebuked towards Haura. His index finger was shuffling as if he wanted to provoke Haura. "You remember me! I'm Alden's future fiancee" he said, Iris Brown walked closer to the three people who were silent and still in the doorway. Iris's eyes caught Haura's hand curled up in Alden's arm, the man of her tribe. "What the fuck! ? Moms... Dad! Lookie! Alden's...."
Beyond Haura's expectations, Alden suddenly said out loud, "It's not you that I'm going to marry, but this woman!" Alden's lips then softly kissed Haura's lips, creating a strange gelayar that propagated in the recesses of Haura's tribe, as if she was hovering high as the man's lips touched her.
