LET ME BE HAPPY
chapter 5

Adinda sat in front of her desk. His fingers nimbly danced at the pencil on the white paper. His forehead wrinkled the sign he focused on his work, so formed a wedding dress design that looks beautiful according to his imagination.

Done

Adinda smiled to see the design of a pair of wedding clothes of her dreams. Yes, Adinda designed it herself even though she knew that this marriage was just a pretend one. However, his appearance should look perfect. Who knew Devin would be blown away and change his mind to accept it. Ah, how beautiful the imaginary world is, making Adinda blush to imagine.

It didn't feel like it was time for lunch. Worms in his stomach was thrashing for rations. He had papers strewn across his desk. He kept it neat before he left his study.

Adinda tidied back her slightly tangled appearance. Scan his face back in front of the mirror. Adinda put the mirror back in her desk drawer. Stand up gracefully and sway towards the exit.

Braaakkk.

The sound of the door being opened violently instantly stopped its steps before it reached the door. His forehead frowned considering who the person who was now standing arrogantly before him was. The woman smiled cynically. Throwing a sharp look at Adinda.

For a moment Adinda was surprised by the action of the woman. Behind him stood Alia with a gloating face.

"Sorry ma'am, this woman forced her way in." Alia felt bad letting someone else barge into Adinda's room without waiting to be invited.

"Yes, it's okay. You can continue to work." She smiled and nodded at Alia.

"I'm sorry, ma'am." Gegas Alia left Adinda's study and resumed her work which had been delayed.

Adinda's gaze turned on the woman who was still standing in the doorway. Actually, he is lazy to deal with people who do not have ethics. However, as an owner he must be friendly to every customer who comes. He should be able to act professionally.

"Who the hell is this guy? Basic has no manners," the inner Adinda cursed annoyed.

"Sorry, can I help you?" She tries to talk as normally as possible.

"Oohh. So you're called Adinda?" The woman in her haughty style waltzed into the room.

The net scans to every corner of the room. He turned to look at Adinda who was still faithful standing in her place. The woman smiled mockingly.

"Sorry, can I help you?" Although annoyed with the woman in front of him who does not have manners, but as much as possible you have to control his emotions.

"Know, I'm Liona. I'm Devin's girlfriend!" Liona introduced herself haughtily.

"Oh, it's appropriate that his face feels familiar. Beautiful, but her behavior is minus." My sister can only hide it in my heart.

"Sorry, can I help you?" Once again Adinda asked the same question.

"Gue wants you to cancel that bod*h matchmaking!" Liona smiled cynically.

Adinda just returned it with a smile. He does not want to waste energy serving people who are heartbroken.

"Devin loves her the same I'm not the same loe. I'm sure your marriage won't make Devin happy!" liona said confidently.

"Sorry, if you came here just to say something that has nothing to do with our boutique, the exit is right over there, please." Adinda said as she pointed towards the exit.

"Ok, I'm leaving now, but you have to let me know that I'm not gonna let that happen. Catch that!" Liona sauntered away with a red face restraining anger. He swore an oath he made to Adinda.

After Liona left, Sinta and Alia came to Adinda. The worried look was clearly on their faces.

"Are you okay, Din?" Sinta asked worriedly.

"God is safe." The sister kept smiling. He didn't want to make his friends anxious.

"Is it okay?" alia Timpal.

"Why don't you refuse this matchmaking Din? I was horrified to squirm at that woman's emotions like that." Alia shuddered to remember the absorbent vow that Liona made when she passed him.

"I can't refuse Al. This is my mother's will that I must fulfill and also as an expression of my revenge for the Devin family" Adinda said.

After Mila who was pregnant was kicked out by her husband's family, she stayed at Intan's house. Mila and Adinda's living expenses are fully borne by the Devin family. Until Adinda graduated from college she decided to open a small boutique business. Three months later he decided to move to a rented house with his mother despite Intan's objections.

Missing to cry when Adinda opened the door of her house. Sepp welcomed his arrival. Tightness in the chest every time a piece of togetherness with the mother dances in his mind.

Slowly he stepped in and did not forget to close the door again. He left the clear circle that had been detained earlier. He took a figura on the nightstand. He noticed the shady smile of the middle-aged woman who was no longer with him.

"Mother, Adin longs," said Adinda.

If the mother was still alive, of course now she will tell all the problems that happened to her. Sleeping with the head wrapped in the lap of the mother, with the hand that always stroked her head gently. My sister misses all that.

The tears still dripping down her cheeks. Do not want to long dissolve in sadness that will only make things worse. He rushed to the bathroom. Soak for a moment to refresh his body and mind that is not okay.

"Darling, why don't you be honest with me." Liona immediately asked Devin a question when Devin opened the door of his apartment.

"Get in first, let's talk inside." Devin invites Liona to come in.

Liona stomped her feet following Devin's steps. His lips were pursed indicating he was upset.

"Sit down first. What do you want to drink?" tawar Devin's.

"It's cold" Liona replied lazily.

"Wait a minute!" Devin moved to the kitchen and returned with 2 cans of cold drink.

"I don't think, why can you lie to me Dev?" Liona asked back after drinking the drink Devin had served.

"I don't know what you're talking about" said Devin .

Liona throttled annoyed. "I heard that you're getting married soon. Don't you?" Liona asked Devin who was only replied with a nod of the head.

"Is it because I refuse to marry soon, so you seek another port. Why can't you just be patient for a little bit more waiting for me to be ready for Dev?" Liona's question was only answered with a headband.

"No Honey. That's not the problem." Devin shook his head many times.

"I'm being fooled!" continued.

"Keep you're not afraid?"

"I can't resist my parents Lio's wishes. All this time my parents have always granted me wishes. My parents never demanded anything from me" Devin said

"Do you love her?" ask Liona

"No, my relationship and he's just friends. Even if I marry her it's only for a while." Devin clasps Liona's hand trying to convince her that she's the only one she loves.

"You mean? You guys marry a contract?"

"Yes, just a year. After that I'll convince my parents to accept you as a son-in-law." Devin carries Liona in his arms. Without realizing it, Liona smiled sinisterly behind her sturdy back.
