Love and Marriage Contract
Getting Closer

Arga immediately takes his steps toward Bianca before Bianca learns of her existence with Karina.

"Bee!" call Arga by waving her hand at Bianca.

Bianca just smiled as she showed off the food parcel she was carrying.

Arga then ran small towards Bianca then hugged Bianca, making Bianca instantly a little thrashing but Arga increasingly tightly embraced Bianca.

"We're playing a role, don't you remember!" said Arga whispering that made Bianca can only sigh and return Arga's embrace.

"What did you bring Bee? Why did you come without telling me?" asked Arga after he let go of his embrace to Bianca.

"I'm here to bring you lunch, I sent you a message, too, but you don't seem to have checked yet" Bianca replied.

Arga checks his phone and finds a message from Bianca telling him that Bianca is coming.

"Aahh yes I have not had time to check my phone after the meeting," said Arga reasoned.

Arga and Bianca then walked into Arga's room, while on the other hand Karina was only speechless with emotions filling her as she looked at Arga and Bianca from a distance.

In Arga's room, Arga enjoys the lunch Bianca brought for him.

"My arrival doesn't bother you, does it?" ask Bianca to make sure.

"Of course not, I'm glad you came" replied Arga as she patted Bianca's head gently.

"Lately you've been watching me a lot, maybe you've fallen in love with me?" said Arga and asked with a faint smile at Bianca.

"Don't say such a stupid thing, I'm doing this just because I know you're not doing well" Bianca replied.

"Can't you continue like this Bianca?" asked Arga while chewing his food.

Bianca was only speechless hearing Arga's question which sounded ambiguous to her.

"What does that question mean? does he want me to always bring him food? or does he want me to always watch him? why would he want me to act like that?" bianca asked in her heart.

"As long as we are husband and wife it seems like we are very rarely seen together except in certain moments when I invite you to come with me to meetings, in ordinary days we are very rarely seen together," said Arga.

"Are you afraid people will suspect our relationship?" ask Bianca.

"I just want to show everyone that if I have a wife who cares about me, am I wrong?" balas Arga's.

Bianca just smiled faintly at what Arga said, again Arga only thought about what others thought of their relationship.

"I shouldn't have to think too far because Arga is always thinking about what other people are saying about our relationship, everything she wanted and everything she did to me was just to prove to others that we were a happy married couple" Bianca said.

Somehow there was a feeling of disappointment that Bianca felt after she heard what Arga said, but she knew that their marriage was just a play in front of everyone.

"I don't mind if you don't agree with what I'm saying, it's important that you keep doing your part well and that I'll do my part well as your husband" Arga said.

Bianca just nodded her head slowly without saying anything.

Biiiippp biiiipp biiiiippp

Arga's phone rang, a message came in from Karina.

"I'm not leaving, I'll wait for you here."

Arga let out a sigh and got up from his seat and walked towards the phone on his desk.

"Call the security guard to expel the stranger on the 7th floor emergency staircase and make sure he never gets into this office again!" arga said on the phone connected to the reception.

Arga then sits down next to Bianca again and enjoys the food Bianca brought for her.

"What's Arga? is there a problem?" ask Bianca worried.

"It looks like a stranger is sneaking up on the emergency stairs, but don't worry that security guards will immediately kick him out and make sure he doesn't come back into this office again" Arga replied.

"I'm sorry Karina, for now I have to focus on solving the company's problems" Arga said in her heart.

"Is it possible that she had something to do with the man who caused you trouble?" ask Bianca.

"Looks not, forget it, have you had lunch?" reply Arga at once asked to divert the conversation.

"I had lunch with Lola" replied Bianca.

"Aaahh yes, it seems like Lola is very upset that you asked Daffa out of town all of a sudden" Bianca continued.

"Why is he upset?" ask Arga.

"Don't you know that Lola and Daffa are getting closer now? Lola must have been upset that Daffa had to get away from her all of a sudden" Bianca replied.

"Have they had a relationship?" ask Arga.

"Of course not yet, Lola won't open her heart to Daffa, especially when she knows how Daffa used to be with her women" Bianca replied.

"But it seems like Daffa has changed, it seems like he meant it with his feelings for Lola" Arga said.

"Where do you know?" ask Bianca.

"I knew him very well, Daffa was indeed a man who could easily approach anyone, but if he feels that she is not interested in him then he will not waste time trying to get the woman because Daffa will easily get another woman" Arga explained.

Bianca was silent at Arga's words, because she knew how Daffa was trying to show her feelings for Lola.

"After Daffa got to know Lola, for the first time I saw Daffa trying to get the woman he wanted, if he doesn't really mean his feelings, he must have stayed away from Lola like he always does" Arga said.

"But it could be that he was just curious about Lola who he judged to be different from other women, after getting Lola he would ignore Lola and look for other women he liked," Bianca replied.

"Bianca, Daffa is not that bad, you think too badly of Daffa" Arga said.

"He's your friend, it's only natural that you defend him" Bianca replied.

"Hahaha..not so Bee, I just say what I know," said Arga.

"I know Daffa is good, despite his playboy nature he is indeed a pleasant man, quite pleasant as a friend, not as a future," Bianca replied.

"What about Lola? does he think the same as you?" ask Arga.

"Okay, but he must have convinced himself first that if Daffa was really sincere with him, I would not have let Daffa hurt Lola either" Bianca replied.

Arga took a deep breath and rested his back on the back of the sofa.

"One's heart no one knows" Bianca said.

"You're right, and sometimes we doubt our hearts" Arga said.

"The heart never lies Arga, if you still feel doubt it means you don't really hear your heart properly" said Bianca who made Arga immediately bring his gaze to Bianca.

"Yes, the heart will always lead you on the right path, but sometimes doubt makes you oppose what your heart wants" Bianca replied.

Arga nodded his head slowly with a faint smile. During this time he often felt doubt for what he did to Karina.

Just because she doesn't want Karina to leave her, Arga does a lot of stupid things to make Karina come back to her.

He cannot think clearly, whether what he does is in accordance with what his heart wants or only limited to the ambitions that he must fulfill.

"What about you, Arga? have you heard your heart well?" tanya Bianca breaks Arga's daydream.

"All right, all this time I thought what I was doing was right and what I wanted, but I didn't know if my heart wanted the same thing or not," answer Arga.

"What about you, Bianca?" arga asked with his eyes on Bianca.

Bianca just smiled and moved from her seat.

"Continue your work, I'll go home" said Bianca, who did not answer Arga's questions.

Bianca then walked towards the door, but Arga quickly held Bianca's hand.

"Is our marriage one of what your heart wants?" asked Arga by looking into Bianca's eyes.

For a moment Bianca just fell silent, Arga's eyes were so deep as to hypnotize her at that moment.

"Bianca," call Arga with a slight wiggle of Bianca's hand which she holds

"Aaahh yes, no, I mean. I have to go, I'm very hungry" said Bianca who immediately pulled her hand from Arga then out of Arga's room and walked quickly towards the elevator.

In her place, Arga still stood letting Bianca who suddenly left with her strange-sounding words in her ears.

"Hungry? didn't he have lunch with Lola?" ask Arga to himself.

Arga smiled faintly and took herself to her work chair.

"Since when did she become so adorable like that" Arga said without being able to hold back her smile.

Arga let out a long sigh, preparing to refocus on his work.

**

The days have passed, Arga is getting busy with his work in the office because Daffa went abroad.

Since the company's problems she faced, Arga spent more time in the office than at home.

Almost every day Arga always comes home late at night and leaves for the office early, even on weekends he spends his time at the office.

However, Bianca never made a big deal of it. Instead of being angry about feeling ignored, Bianca helped Arga a lot.

Seeing Arga who is always busy, Bianca increasingly shows her attention to Arga. Unknowingly it brings Bianca and Arga closer due to their compactness.

Of course it makes Arga feel so lucky to have Bianca, even though only limited to a contract wife.

To him, Bianca's existence was like a calming fresh breeze amidst the desert of trouble that Arga was facing.

Elsewhere, Daffa also does his work tirelessly. Due to his busy schedule, Daffa rarely even contacted Lola.

Daffa occasionally sends Lola messages, but when Lola replies to him Daffa will reply to her another day.

It was not because Daffa did not care about Lola, but because of the work that required her to focus and ignore everything else so that she could finish everything as planned and go home and see Lola.

On the other hand, Lola had already started to get busy with her office work. He deliberately busied himself because of the sudden departure of Daffa and rarely gave news to him.

Lola tried to ignore her feelings of regret for Daffa, who seemed to disappear suddenly from her, because she knew that Daffa had left to solve problems at work.

Although he has not opened his heart to Daffa, it cannot be denied that he has begun to be comfortable with Daffa.

Daffa's care and kindness brought happiness that Lola had never felt before.

But Lola doesn't want to fall too deeply into that uncertain feeling, she doesn't want her first love to give her pain.

Whether what will happen in front of him, Lola only live it as long as she is happy with Daffa even without a definite status.

The clock was showing at 6 pm, with the orange sky that began to decorate the afternoon, Lola walked out of the office where she worked.

As he was just sitting at the bus stop waiting for the bus, a little boy came up to him and gave him a red rose.

Lola smiled and received the flower, as she was about to pay for it the little boy ran away.

"Hey deck, the money's not yet!" said Lola who immediately moved from her seat by shouting because she thought that the little boy was a florist.

"He's not a florist" said a man who was right behind Lola, causing Lola to turn her around immediately.

"Daffa!"

Daffa just smiled and hugged Lola who was just frozen silent because she was so surprised at that moment.

Lola who was aware of what Daffa was doing to her immediately released herself from Daffa's embrace.

"You're home yet? why not tell me?" ask Lola to Daffa.

"I was on purpose, to surprise you," Daffa replied with a smile.

Lola sighed and then brought herself back to sit down.

"Are you not happy I'm back?" ask Daffa who was sitting next to Lola.

"I think you've forgotten me for meeting such a beautiful woman there" Lola replied.

"There's no way I'm going to forget you, every day I get excited here and there so I can go home to see you soon" Daffa replied.

Lola only smiled faintly as she took her eyes off Daffa. Undeniably, the arrival of Daffa at that time did make him happy, even very happy, but he did not want to show it too much to Daffa.

"I'll take you home, come on!" said Daffa who had stood up while extending his hand to Lola.

Lola then received a helping hand from Daffa and walked after Daffa to Daffa to park her car.

"Why are those things in your car?" asked Lola who saw a lot of stuff on the back bench.

"Aaaahh that, I haven't had time to go home because from the airport I'm here soon" replied Daffa.

"Why? shouldn't you go home or see Arga first?"

"I told you not if I wanted to go home soon because I wanted to see you, not Arga," Daffa replied with a quick smile on Lola.
