Lies
Not the only one

People say the days leading up to the wedding are crucial. There are various problems that will confront couples who make their stability questionable. Not a few also decided to cancel the wedding because of this.

So too with what Raya and Varen are feeling now. They are being tested for confidence in the days leading up to marriage. 10 Days before the wedding. When all is ready, when the invitation has been spread and the mass media has covered massively, doubts arise in the heart of Raya. Should she marry Varen? Does he really want this?

“Where are you going with your suitcase?” varen asked when he saw a suitcase being pulled by Raya. “Raya, answer me.”

Raya stopped stepping. He turned his head towards Varen and threw an annoyed look. “You forgot something? Today Mama came home and I had to pick her up at the airport. In accordance with the agreement, when Mama returns, I will stay again in our house.”

Varen. “Don't be so Raya. We're getting married in less than 2 weeks. When we get married, you'll live here, too. What are you going to do now?”

A rough gust of breath came out from the mouth of Kingdom. “But we're not married, Varen. We shouldn't have stayed together.”

“What's wrong with you, ha?” varen said as he touched Raya's shoulder. “OK, I admitted wrong for last night's trouble. I promise I won't see Cindy again. But don't leave me, will you? You know how much I love you, Raya. Our wedding is also just counting days.”

“No,” replied Raya insisted. “I'll go now. We can talk about Cindy later.” He took his suitcase out the door.

“What do you mean, Raya? Hey!” Despite yelling to call Raya, Varen still could not prevent the woman from leaving her house. Raya is so firm on its stance and difficult to shake in any way. And Varen is very familiar with the personality of the Kingdom.

When Varen was slumped due to Raya's departure, a phone entered his phone. Karan, the caller's name. Although his heart was in turmoil, but Varen could not ignore Karan just like that. The man is not just a friend, Karan is also the most valuable investor for Varen's new villa project.

“Yes, what's up Karan?” tukas Varen answered Karan's call.

“I— hey! What's with your voice? Are you okay?” sahut Karan at the end of the call.

Varen tried to lie. “Yes, I'm fine. What was? Not usually you call me in the morning.”

“True, there's something I want to talk to you about. The plan is I'll rent one of your hotels in a week.”

“Why did you contact me? If you want to rent a lobby, just have your secretary meet our sales team.”

“Not lobby, Varen. But your whole hotel.”

Varen's eyes were wide. “What do you mean one hotel building?”

The answer Karan gave was shocking. “Not one hotel building, but the whole building in one of your hotels.”

Each Varen hotel has at least two skyscrapers. One is in the form of rooms that can be rented per night, and one more building in the form of an apartment that must be rented at least monthly. If Karan wants to hire both, do not imagine how much money the man should be given.

“Let's meet. We have to talk about this carefully,” said Varen happy. He's a businessman, and he would be happy to hear that so much money would go into the company's account.

Varen soon forgets Raya and her problems with the woman. According to him, Raya will improve by itself. It was not the first time Raya was angry with him. They had a big fight because of something that made their relationship cracked. But look at the next one. They're making up again. Varen even managed to get Raya married.

“You can't rent my entire hotel,” said Varen when he met Karan at a cafe, their place of appointment.

“You said you'd rent it for next week, didn't you? If it's just a hotel room, maybe it can. But if it is an apartment, it will be difficult because some units have been occupied by others for a month, even the next few months.”

Karan took the coffee cup in front of him and sipped the liquid slowly. “Alright, then I will rent the unused only as long as you value it worth using.”

A small smile rose on Varen's face. “OK, I'll take care of it. But, why do you suddenly want to rent so many rooms? Is there an important event next week in your company?”

“Ya,” Karan replied, but he did not say the whole thing.

Actually not a corporate event, Karan rented so many rooms for his wedding. Karan is planning to marry Raya next week. He even had Ian put all their preparations into the wedding.

The conversation about business stopped there, precisely on the Karan and Varen deal. Next, Karan will talk about the core of their meeting. About the Kingdom that he must immediately seize from the side of Varen.

“How are you doing? Yesterday I had a chance to drive him home, but his face looked a little moody,” Karan said starting the conversation again.

“Sial!” suddenly Varen. He gulped down the mango juice in front of him to the toilet. Feeling that you should only because you heard the name Raya. “I had a fight with him last night.”

I don't know why Varen decided to tell Karan the problem. Starting from the problem about the fault of the shoe store that made Raya angry, to the departure of Raya from her home. Varen didn't mean that at all. He never had any intention of cheating on Raya because he loved her so much.

“I've already exerted everything, but I can't prevent Raya from leaving. Jeez, my chest feels tight right now,” Varen chirped at the end of the story.

Karan knows the taste of the claustrophobic. He's been feeling it almost every day for a dozen years. Every time Raya sees another man, Karan's chest will feel tight, even though Karan did not smoke that day. Karan has only found out lately. That feeling of tightness and dislike for Raya because she was jealous to see the woman along with a man other than her.

“Do not hold it alone. Try to explain it to Raya,” Karan said pretending to advise. While in his heart, Karan was so happy. He was very excited to hear the rift between Raya and Varen.

Varen's eyes looked at Karan. “Indeed what should I do? I've tried to explain it, but Raya won't listen at all.”

“Hmm, hard.” Karan tried to think. Then, he got his answer. “How about I explain it to Raya?”

Varen's forehead shriveled. “You mean?”

“Yes, I will try to explain to Raya that she just misunderstood you. Sometimes we need to use a third party to solve the problem. That's it if you want.”

“I have no problem, but how do you explain it to Raya? You want to meet him in person?”

Karan. There was no way he had met Raya to make the woman make up with Varen. Karan wants their relationship to get worse until their marriage is annulled. That way, Karan will be able to marry Raya.

“Look, how about we have dinner together? At once I will introduce my lover to you. I think Raya will agree with that.”

Varen saw nothing bad about the proposal. He nodded his head too. “Alright, let's eat together. But you set everything up.”

“No problem. I will soon send you his place,” Karan said with a happy smile. He had plans for this couple's dinner. Plans to heat up the Kingdom.
