LOVE PAID IN CASH
Fail Again

"Dear." Arka uncovers the blanket covering Mihika's body. His wife fell asleep after fulfilling her duties as a wife. Seen plain body Mihika, face Arka facing distended stomach because it has contained prospective successor Arka. 

Swiping slowly and showering with a kiss around Mihika's stomach. The pulsating part of the stomach makes Arka smile happily that her baby-to-be is active and healthy. "Hey dude, this is Papih. Don't be naughty in there, pity your mama. Papih can't wait for your birth, be healthy baby." 

Mihika wriggled softly due to the pangs in her stomach. Arka stops her action because she does not want to disturb Mihika's sleep. 

Another phenomenal couple, Johan and Maemunah. He had just arrived in Mae's hometown, although he had stopped to buy souvenirs for Mae's family and neighbors.

Brakes.

Johan closed the car door and stared around, the rustic atmosphere, even the Mae family residence there was no fence or gate. Looks shady and beautiful because many trees around there are also two trees that are quite tall and large in the yard of Mae's house. 

Mae who had entered the house first came back out with a middle-aged man who Johan believed was his future father-in-law. 

"Good day sir" said Johan. 

The man looked at Johan from head to toe. "You sure you like my son and want to marry my son?" 

"Mr, what the hell. I haven't said anything." Mihika became worried because her Father seemed to disapprove if Johan would marry her. There is also an age difference between Johan and Mae.

Not yet had Johan replied, Mr. Mae let Johan sit down. Mae and Johan sat side by side even though there was a slight distance facing the Father. “Actually my destination is here because I am serious about marrying my Father's Daughter and if allowed I want to get married today.”

“Hah, Mae are you pregnant?”

“Ngaklah. Mr. Johan did want to marry me immediately, already can not stand alone continue,” taunted Mae and then chuckled.

“Mae's right sir, she's not pregnant. Our closeness is only limited to leaders and employees.”

“So, you're Mae's boss?”

Mae clucked, “Higher than that, sir. But the problem is not that, you thank Mr Johan for marrying me?”

“Not a problem, obviously this is a problem. He's a big guy, a rich guy, of course, and if you marry him then he's polygamous, what? You can not pick you up in Jakarta, you can go to Jakarta. Dizziness Mr with Jakarta city, spacious and compact.”

Johan breathed. How to want polygamy, find one that is serious and really difficult. Mae my struggle is not easy, Johan said.

“I promise I will be happy Mae and I can make sure if she is only the only woman I love.”

“Ah, the real Sir. So Sweet really,” said Mae while slowly hitting Johan's arm.

“Mae, keep your attitude,” reprimand Mr.

Not long after, Mae's mother came with her sisters. Johan again conveyed the purpose of his arrival. Basically both of Mae's parents allow and give her blessing to marry Mae. Especially in this village, in most women married young so for the age of Mae and unmarried can be called a spinster.

“But if you get married right now, how are the preparations?”

“No need to worry Mom, tomorrow there will be my men take care of files and documents in KUA. I'll marry Mae religiously first. For the reception I leave it to Mae, it is up to her to hold where and what the concept is like. I don't have much time because of the responsibility on the company.”

Mom and Dad looked at each other and looked at Mae. “You ready, Mae?”

“Yes ready, marry this man. After marriage your life is no longer our responsibility.”

Johan was relieved to hear the readiness of Mae and her parents who allowed their daughter to marry. In keeping with Johan's idea, they should get married today as well. Johan replaced the shirt worn with a white shirt that was in his car. The busyness and density of work sometimes makes him have to suddenly get out of town so in his car there are several pieces of clothing and other equipment.

Mae has changed into a white dress because she has not prepared a kebaya. In her heart she is also upset at Johan because the idea of getting married impromptu makes her really unprepared. A thin makeup polish on Mae's face, making Johan increasingly deg-deg ser (what try, hehe).

Loaded with a rather thick carpet, Johan and Mae sat side by side on the carpet. Johan's future-in-law sat right in front of him. Penghulu has also come, including close relatives and neighbors who live not far from Mae's house, present to watch the wedding of Mae and Johan.

The sacred sentences spoken by Mr and Johan alternated and closed the SAH sentence by some people present indicate that Johan has been legally the husband of Maemunah. While Mae's parents were handing out gifts brought by her son and daughter-in-law, Mae was smiling at the finger of her hand that had been embedded in her wedding ring.

“Pak Johan photo first dong,” invite Mae to have a selfie with Mr. Johan. Indeed, Johan was far above Mae, but Johan's body stature was very gallant and muscular because of frequent fitness. His face did not disappoint either. As a fan of Korean dramas, Mae sees Johan as similar to actor Lee Dong Wook. Even Mae's female relatives and neighbors had stolen a look and smiled at Johan. Johan himself could only nod as a sign of modesty.

“Pak Johan, after this I can still work?”

Johan realizes that he has not discussed this with Mae. “Before you work for what?”

“Help my Father, also for my own needs.”

“Hm. Now you I live so do not need to work anymore.”

“Keep my parents how?”

“That's my business, you just focus on your husband,” Johan said as he patted his chest. “Also our children,” whispered Johan.

Mae chuckles at Johan's whisper. “Pak Johan want what child?” Johan was silent for a moment, remembering that he was just an only child feeling very lonely. Especially when his parents accident on a business trip, then he was taken care of by Aditya who is a friend of his parents.

“I want as many children as possible, let later in old age we are not lonely.”

“How much is that? Indeed I am a cat, his work produces children.”

...***...

At night, the newlyweds were already in Mae's room. Johan who had asked for AC or fan was laughed at by Mae. Regularly sleeping in a fairly cold room, Johan worried that tonight he would have trouble sleeping because of rage. Moreover, he intends to make Mae delicacy, definitely need a supportive room temperature.

“No need to use air conditioning Sir, here if the night until the morning is very cold Pak.”

Johan realized what Mae said was true, “Iya yes, this already feels cold.”

Johan was wearing only shorts and a t-shirt, while Mae had changed her pajamas. Johan patted the bed next to him for Mae to approach. Johan stared around Mae's not-so-wide room, only three by three meters in size. Even the walls were somehow made of what, very not conducive. The voice of Mae's sisters in the next room was clearly heard.

“This is if we want to feel good will clearly sound,” said Johan.

“Propay yes, Sir. There is still tomorrow, besides Mae has become the wife of Mr. Johan kok.”

Johan breathed. Fate-fate, already halal there is still a barrier to the crossbar, inner Johan.
