Love and Marriage Contract
Fried Rice

Bianca finished her story with two teary eyes. He tried hard not to drop the tears that had filled his eyes.

"If you want, I can introduce you to a psychiatrist I know" Arga said.

"No need, I can handle it myself, I just need time" Bianca replied.

"I won't force you, but whenever you feel you need a psychiatrist, you can tell me" said Arga, who was only nodding his head by Bianca.

"Now you sleep, I make sure there will be no more lights out in this house" Arga said.

Bianca nodded her head again and laid herself on the sofa she was sitting on. He slowly closed his eyes and immediately fell asleep after drowsiness attacked him.

While Arga, still sitting on the same sofa with the sofa that Bianca slept on. His two eyes were still staring at the severed Bianca.

He did not expect if the cheerful girl he always saw turned out to hold a great sense of trauma in him.

"I'm sure you'll get through Bianca" Arga said in his heart, staring at Bianca.

As time passed, the late night brought Arga into a drowsiness that encouraged her to fall asleep immediately, until she unknowingly fell asleep on the sofa in a sitting position.

The long night had ended, Bianca blinked her eyes and accidentally touched Arga who was still sleeping in a sitting position.

The surprised Bianca immediately moved from her sleep.

"Arga, why is he sleeping here?" bianca asked looking at Arga who seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Bianca smiled faintly as she recalled what happened last night. After all the fear and sadness was gone with the morning changing night, Bianca again started her day with a smile as usual.

"Mama and papa will only be happy if I can live my day happily" Bianca said in her heart.

For a while Bianca just fell silent staring at Arga who was still asleep in front of her.

"Is he really worried about me? could it be that this haughty and arrogant man was really worried about me?" bianca asked in her heart.

Bianca unconsciously smiled. It is undeniable that the man in front of him is indeed very handsome, even he looks still handsome while asleep.

"As a man he is almost perfect, he is handsome, rich, smart, master many things that are not even related to the business world, he is also hardworking," Bianca said in her heart.

"It is no wonder that many women try to approach him, only that he is very arrogant and arrogant, very different from the good brother Bara, loving and caring," bianca continued with a fluffy smile on her lips as Bara's figure flashed back across her head.

Suddenly Arga squirms, making Bianca so surprised. Bianca then awakens Arga by calling him slow.

But Arga still looks sound in his sleep, making Bianca finally dare to touch Arga's hand.

"Arga, awake!" bianca said softly as she touched Arga's hand.

Arga's hand moved and held Bianca's hand, making Bianca immediately pull her hand from Arga's grasp.

Argapun immediately woke up from his sleep and was so shocked when he saw Bianca who was right in front of him.

"Bianca! you're surprising me!" said Arga while holding her chest.

"You surprised me, why are you sleeping here?" bianca asked.

"I? i.... don't know," replied Arga then got up from his seat and left.

"It's weird" said Bianca with a frown.

Bianca then got up from her seat and walked towards the laundry room with Arga's blanket.

On the other hand, Arga who had just walked into his room immediately dropped himself on the bed. Suddenly the smell of Bianca perfume like greeting his nose, made him remember the incident that happened last night between himself and Bianca.

"She's the first woman to come into my room, if it wasn't for her being like that I wouldn't have brought her here," said Arga while moving from his bed then remove the bed cover and all that is attached to his bed and replace it with a new one.

But when he returned to lay his body in bed, somehow the image of a frightened Bianca still ringing in his head.

He could still vividly remember all the things Bianca told him that night.

"Did she pretend to look cheerful all this time?" ask Arga to himself.

"It's been a pain in his life, but. stupid, I don't care!" said Arga then got out of bed and went to the bathroom.

"Wait a minute, he called 'sister Bara', who is he? looks like he's someone who's very considerate of Bianca? is he her lover?" ask Arga as he remembers the name "Bara" Bianca mentioned in the story.

"But it seems like Bianca doesn't have a lover, she!" said Arga was upset at himself which made him subconsciously open the shampoo bottle and take it out on top of his toothbrush.

Until finally Arga realized with a strange and bitter taste that he felt when he began to brush his teeth.

"This is not toothpaste..jeez...why am I so stupid!"

Arga immediately rinsed and brushed his teeth with toothpaste.

"It's a good thing not to swallow it" Arga said, then washed his face and came out of the bathroom after he finished his bath.

After she finished preparing, Arga then walked out of her room. But when passing the dining table, Bianca suddenly called out to him.

"I've prepared it for you, you have to eat it" said Bianca, pointing to a plate of fried rice on the table.

"You made it yourself?" asked Arga while taking her steps towards the dining table.

"Yes, I've learned a lot of recipes from YouTube and these are my best results" Bianca explained.

"Look pretty, but what about it?"

"You'll find out after you try it, sit down!" bianca replied while sliding the chair for Arga to sit down.

"This is the first fried rice that I made, as a form of thank you for hearing my story last night, I hope you won't tell it to anyone else" Bianca said.

Arga just nodded his head slowly then scooped a bit of fried rice in front of him doubtfully.

Finally one mouth went into Arga's mouth. For a moment Arga was silent, feeling a taste of salt that seemed to fill his entire mouth at that moment.

"Why don't you take a drink for me?" tanya Arga tried to resist the response of her face to the salty taste that dominated her tongue at that time.

"Aahhhh yes I forgot, I'll take it," said Bianca then immediately ran to the kitchen to get a drink.

Just as Bianca was returning, Arga's phone rang, a call from Daffa requiring Arga to come to the office immediately.

"Good job Daffa," Inner Arga cheered inwardly.

"Bee, I have to leave immediately, thanks for the fried rice," said Arga then moved from his seat and drank the drink that Bianca had just put on the table.

Arga drank it until it was gone, so that the salty taste in his tongue was slightly reduced.

"It looks like he's very thirsty" said Bianca slowly as she looked at Arga who ran out of the house.

"There are non guests" said the aunt to Bianca who wanted to eat fried rice made.

"Good morning Princess," Lola greeted with a wave of her hand.

"Good morning my ladies, why are you here so early?"

"You have to help me revise my script before I take it to campus later in the day," Lola replied then sitting next to Bianca and snatched the spoon from Bianca's hand.

"Alright, but after I finish my breakfast," replied Bianca.

Lola simply nodded her head and then fed a spoonful of fried rice to her mouth.

Instantly Lola spat out the entire fried rice that had just touched her tongue. He immediately ran to the kitchen and asked aunt for a drink.

"Jeez Bianca, who's cooking that poisonous fried rice?" lola asked after finishing a full glass of drinking water.

"Toxic fried rice? whatchu mean? why are you spitting it out?" bianca asked

"Have you eaten that fried rice?" tanya Lola who was just slapped with a headband by Bianca

"It's better you don't eat it or your tongue will be damaged by it" said Lola, who made Bianca frown.

"Is this fried rice taste so bad?" ask Bianca.

"More than bad Bianca, this is a poisonous food, not worth eating by humans, even animals!" lola replied which upset Bianca.

"Who cooked the fried rice? is it possible that aunt cooked it?" lola asked.

"I cooked it," replied Bianca slowly and then tasted her fried rice.

Sure enough, Biancapun just like Lola. Bianca immediately spewed out the freshly fried rice touching her tongue as a salty taste that now filled her entire mouth.

"Good God this is so salty!" said Bianca who immediately drank a glass of water.

"You made him Bianca? gosh.... didn't you taste it first? can't you tell the difference between salt and sugar?" ask Lola.

"I didn't taste it because I thought I had made it perfect" replied Bianca who suddenly lost her spirit.

"Why are you cooking, isn't there an aunt who's cooking for you?"

"Actually I was cooking for Arga on purpose, but she was in a hurry to go to the office so just ate it for a bite" Bianca explained.

"You gave this poisonous dish to Arga? then what did he tell you? how he cursed you, Bianca, tell me!"

Bianca shook her head softly without saying anything, as Arga did not comment at all on her homemade fried rice.

"Why are you just shaking your head Bianca? tell me what kind of harsh words Arga told you?"

"He said nothing about the fried rice, but he ate it for a bite" replied Bianca, to Lola's surprise.

"Are you serious about Bianca?" ask Lola in disbelief.

"I also wonder why he did not comment anything, even though this fried rice is very bad, it is impossible that his tongue hurts, right?"

"Hmmm... It seems like something is going on between you two, tell me, are you in love?" lola said as she asked with her face approaching right in front of Bianca's face.

"What are you talking about, there would be no such thing between me and Arga," Bianca replied as she removed Lola's face from before her.

"Then why would a Bianca who could not cook at all suddenly cook for her husband, why? wh why? why?"

"I cooked for her as a thank you because she heard my story last night" Bianca replied.

"What story?" ask Lola curiously.

"We'd better talk in my room instead" Bianca replied and went to her room followed by Lola.

Bianca then tells Lola about what happened last night. About the lights of his room that suddenly went out, about Arga who entered his room and took him to Arga's room until about him who told about the incident that traumatized him with a dark room.

"I don't know why I told Arga all that, maybe because I was too carried away that night" Bianca said at the end of the explanation.

As Lola clasped Bianca's hand, she understood what kind of fear Bianca was feeling back then.

He understood how difficult it was for Bianca to even review the hard times.

"Are you okay now?" ask Lola.

Bianca nodded her head slowly with a smile.

"Whenever you need a friend to tell you a story, never forget that you have Bianca, but I'm also happy that you can share your story with Arga" Lola said.

"Thank you Lola" Bianca replied, leaning her head on Lola's shoulder.

Elsewhere, Arga was holding a meeting in his office. Several times he seemed to stretch his body that felt stiff. This was of course realized by Daffa.

"Why do you look so tired? did something happen?" ask Daffa after Arga ends his meeting.

"It seems like because I slept on the sofa last night," replied Arga while twitching her shoulders.

"Why did you sleep on the couch? wouldn't you sleep if you weren't in a big bed?"

"I accidentally fell asleep while accompanying Bianca, last night she......"

Arga stopped his words. He realized that he could not tell what happened last night to someone else.

"Him? she why? why are you accompanying Bianca to sleep on the couch?" tanya Daffa was impatient to hear Arga's continued words.

"Aahhh, you've been told once, get your work done before I add it to another job!" said Arga diverted the conversation then walked quickly away from Daffa.

Daffa immediately ran after Arga and searched Arga with many questions about Bianca.

But Arga did not answer Daffa's question at all, making Daffa finally give up.

In his heart he is happy if Arga becomes closer to Bianca. As a friend, Daffa did not want Arga to fall into the wrong hands.

Although he knows that Arga is crazy about Karina, but he believes that Arga can definitely open his heart to Bianca if Arga gets closer to Bianca.

Daffa knew very well what kind of betrayal Karina had done to Arga and he did not want Arga to fall into the same hole a second time.

That's why Daffa always worked with Arga's parents to get Arga closer to Clara, hoping Arga would open her heart to Clara.

But it turns out that now Arga has chosen Bianca which he let into his life, making Daffa think to try to maintain Arga's relationship with Bianca.
