Love and Marriage Contract
One Year Wedding

Bianca only smiled faintly by shaking her head slowly at what Lola said.

"That couldn't have happened to Lola, other than because Arga and I had made a deal, I felt I wasn't a woman who deserved to be his wife" Bianca said.

"Why do you feel that way?" ask Lola.

"Look at Arga, Lola he's handsome, comes from a wealthy family and even Arga has his own business going well, there must be many women on par with him who want it" Bianca replied.

"You can't decide who you're going to fall in love with Bianca, and neither will Arga!" said Lola.

"A near-perfect partner will never fall in love with a nobody, I'm just a woman who doesn't even have a definite future" Bianca said with a faint smile.

"But what if Arga is really in love with you? forget about the contract you agreed on, whatever fine Arga would have to pay if he breached the contract he would have paid with all the money he had!"

"Your thoughts are too far away Lola, there is no way it will happen, besides I am still waiting for Brother Bara" said Bianca.

"Again, Brother Bara, has not Brother Bara neglected you? maybe she already has a boyfriend out there!"

"Don't talk like that, I'm sure Bara's brother is just busy, even though until now he hasn't contacted me at all" Bianca replied with a sigh.

"Then what do you expect of him Bianca? if he really likes you he can't possibly show you like this, it's been more than 3 months he hasn't contacted you at all, he didn't even take your call and didn't reply to your message!"

Bianca just kept quiet without saying anything, she did feel like she was suddenly dumped by Bara, especially when she realized that there were women who were close to Bara.

"There's no way the woman wasn't close to Brother Bara, she even held Bara's cell phone and received my call, which means they were close and....." Bianca stopped the speech in her heart.

Bianca just let out a long sigh, trying to dispel bad thoughts about what Bara is actually doing out there.

"Arga's been trying to be a good husband to you, Bianca, so you should also try to be a good wife to her, as long as you're Arga's wife you're hers and you shouldn't expect another man" Lola said.

"Why are you so overdone, Lola, Arga and I have become husband and wife, but that is only a contract and there is absolutely no love between the two of us" Bianca replied.

"Over 3 months Arga spent in the hospital just to keep you company, she didn't even come home at all because she didn't want to leave you in the hospital, she said, is it too much if you're also being nice to her like she's being nice to you?" said Lola who made Bianca immediately bring her eyes on Lola.

"Are you serious about what you're saying?" ask Bianca not to believe it.

"Why did I lie to you, Bianca, Arga really worries about you more than anyone" Lola replied.

Bianca was silent for a while, she did not expect that Arga would actually accompany her in the hospital for more than 3 months.

"Is he doing that because he feels guilty or because he wants everyone to see if he's a good husband?" bianca asked in her heart.

"Let's go back, they'll be waiting!" said Lola disperse Bianca's daydreams.

Bianca nodded her head and walked out of the toilet holding Lola's hand.

"Don't get tired of walking with me because my steps are like snails" Bianca told Lola.

"Are you like this with Arga?" ask Lola.

"Of course, I even wondered why he was so patient with me" Bianca replied.

"That's because he loves you" said Lola.

"Stop saying that Lola, you're such a bitch!" reply Bianca while hitting Lola's hand.

Suddenly there was a woman who walked in a hurry and accidentally nudged Bianca.

Bianca whose legs had not fully recovered immediately fell on the floor with Lola's hand, making some people there immediately bring their eyes to the two fallen beautiful girls.

While the woman who hit Bianca just turned a glance and continued her steps toward the toilet.

"I'm sorry Lola, I accidentally pulled your hand!" bianca told Lola.

"Are you okay, Bianca? can you stand up?" ask Lola to worry about Bianca.

On the other hand, Arga who saw it immediately moved from his seat and walked quickly to Bianca.

"Can you stand up Bianca?" arga asked Bianca who was still sitting with her feet.

Bianca just nodded her head and tried to stand up by holding Lola and Arga's hands.

But because he could not keep his balance, Bianca almost fell before he could stand upright, lucky Arga could swiftly hold Bianca.

Arga then lifted Bianca's body and brought Bianca to sit in a chair.

"What's Lola? why did Bianca fall?" ask Arga to Lola.

"There was a woman who ran him over, but she left before she apologized to Bianca, which sucks!" answer Lola.

"Where is he now?" ask Arga.

"He went to the toilet" answered Lola, who made Arga quickly move from his seat but was quickly restrained by Bianca.

"Where are you going Arga?" bianca asked with Arga's hand.

"Of course to see the woman who bumped into you, she has to apologize to you" Arga replied with emotion.

"Sit down, you don't have to do that, after all he just nudged me a little, I just couldn't keep my balance and fell down!" Bianca.

"At least he should apologize for making you fall down Bianca," Arga replied as she pulled her hand from Bianca and walked quickly toward the toilet.

"Lola please hold down Arga, hurry up I don't want him to make a fuss here!" bianca said to Lola that made Lola immediately run after Arga.

But instead of stopping Arga, Lola actually tells Arga who the woman who had hit Bianca.

Arga then pulled the woman's hand violently and dragged her towards Bianca.

Bianca who saw that could only be silent by sighing because she could not hold back what Arga was doing.

"I'm sorry to him right now!" arga said to the woman, holding her hand.

"What the hell is this, why should I apologize to him?" the woman asked, trying to get her hand out of Arga's grip.

"You've hit him and knocked him down, isn't that reason enough to make you apologize to him?" balas Arga's.

"It looks like I just touched her a little, she's the one who's so weak!" said the woman while bringing her gaze to Bianca with a view of dislike.

"So you're not gonna apologize to her?" asked Arga, clutching the woman's hand.

"Do you forgive Bee?" ask Arga to Bianca.

"Yes I forgive him, let him go" Bianca replied without hesitation.

Argapun released his hand from the woman and without waiting for a long time the woman immediately left with a grumble.

"You're so overrated Arga, you embarrassed him in front of everyone!" bianca told Arga.

"He's the one who's gone too far for making you fall and doesn't apologize to you" Arga said.

"Women like that should indeed be taught a lesson Bianca!" lola Sahut.

"I agree" replied Daffa.

The days have passed, Arga increasingly shows his concern and affection for Bianca. Biancapun was getting used to all the attention Arga had on him.

Despite that, Bianca has not realized that what Arga is doing is Arga's attempt to make Bianca fall in love with him.

Although Bianca often feels pounding when with Arga, Bianca always brushes off all the strange feelings she feels in her heart.

Bianca was still waiting for news from Bara, although until that second Bara had not contacted her at all, not even reply to the message that Bianca last sent.

For Bianca there is no better man to be her future than Bara, for some reason she feels her heart has closed apart from Bara.

One year his marriage with Arga has been through with many things that happened, now he knows Arga and Argapun more and more know him.

But that did not make Bianca drop her heart on Arga, because for her Arga was only a man who stopped for a while in her life.

Although bound by marriage but Bianca considers their relationship only limited to a contract that they both agreed.

For Bianca, herself and Arga are so different worlds, the near-perfect Arga should have gotten a woman who is just as perfect as her, very different from her who was just a single girl with no definite future.

Bianca still maintains a good relationship with Arga, but she is Arga's wife until their contract expires.

The attention that Arga gives to Bianca makes Bianca more open to Arga, making the two give each other attention even though Bianca is not yet aware of the love that is present in their relationship.

On the other hand, Clara who is still chasing Arga never gives up on getting Arga, even though she knows that Arga has never turned her head in the least.

Somehow the beautiful woman was so crazy about Arga that he considered as a perfect male figure who deserves to be with him compared to other men close to him.

Seeing Arga increasingly showing his affection for Bianca, Clara seemed to have lost the way to capture Arga.

As a result Clarapun did his last choice, which was to tell Arga's parents about what he knew about Arga and Karina's relationship.

That afternoon Clara drove to Arga's parents' house and met Nadine there.

"Tante is happy to see your career shining even more Clara, aunt is proud of you!" nadine said to Clara who had just returned from abroad for work.

"Thank you Auntie," replied Clara happily.

"Is there anything you've suddenly come here without telling aunt, Clara?" ask Nadine.

"Clara's here to tell her aunt, Clara doesn't know if she's going to trust Clara or not, but Clara feels she has to tell her this" Clara replied.

"What do you mean Clara? just tell auntie!"

"Actually Clara had seen Arga with Karina, they both visited the Tante psychiatric clinic" said Clara, which made Nadine so surprised.

"Maybe you're just misunderstanding Clara, there's no way Arga is with Karina" replied Nadine who tried to stay calm.

"Actually Clara saw it a long time ago, but Clara only dared to tell this because Arga threatened Clara if Clara told this to aunt," said Clara trying to convince Nadine.

"Did you tell anyone about this?" ask Nadine.

"No Aunt, Clara just told Auntie," replied Clara.

"Then just keep this story to yourself, do not tell others let alone Bianca, aunty does not want Bianca to misunderstand and make their household a mess" said Nadine.

"But will Auntie let Arga stay in touch with Karina? they're....."

"Tante knows you mean well by telling this to aunty, but Aunty believes in Arga, even though she used to be in secret contact with Karina but aunty is sure that Arga has ended it all now," nadine cuts off Clara's words.

"What if it turns out they're still having a auntie?" ask Clara.

"Aunty trusts Arga more than anyone Clara, aunty sure Arga will not disappoint aunty and aunty sure he must be responsible for her marriage" replied Nadine.

"But Aunt...."

"Tante understands you still like Arga, it may be difficult to forget it let alone aunt who asked you to approach Arga, but everything has passed Clara, Arga already has Bianca so aunty please forget your feelings for her," nadine cuts off Clara's words.

Clara just kept quiet without saying anything, she did not expect that Nadine would say that to her.

Clara then said goodbye to go home with a sense of annoyance in him for not succeeding to influence Nadine.

After Clara left, Nadine immediately contacted Arga, asking Arga to come to her house after Arga came home from the office to make sure about what Clara told her.

Elsewhere, Bianca was with Lola, they were at the cafe where Bianca once worked.

"Are you going to drive me home after this?" lola asked Bianca after they got the cake they ordered.

"Of course, I've picked you up from the office so I have to take you home too" Bianca replied.

Just past the door of the cafe, Bianca suddenly stopped her steps as she looked at the beautiful girl who was walking into the cafe.

Bianca smiled as she waved her hand at the beautiful girl. They then hugged each other while asking for news.

"This is my friend, Lola," said Bianca.

"Karina," Karina said as she extended her hand to Lola.

Lola only smiled faintly as she accepted Karina's helping hand without saying anything.

Lola was trying to dig up her memory of the woman before her, for she somehow felt like she had seen her.
