A glass of warm chocolate whose smoke is still steaming, gives off a cocoa aroma that relaxes tense body muscles.
Both of Vina's hands felt warm while holding the glass. When Vina drank the liquid blackish brown, her tongue felt spoiled with a sweet taste and a little bit of bitter processed cocoa beans.
Currently Vina was in an apartment that she herself did not know which area this was in. Earlier, when he managed to escape from the depollector, there was someone who suddenly seized him and took him hiding in an alley.
At first, Vina was very frightened, thinking she would be kidnapped and harassed. Moreover, the place was so quiet and there were no vehicles passing by at all. But all his worries were gone when the figure let go of Vina and showed her face.
Yes, it turns out that person is Affan. Affandlah saved him from the evil deplector. Especially after Vina knew that the car that intercepted her and the sturdy man and his friends were also Affan's men. Vina felt like she was getting fresh water in the middle of an arid desert. Relieved, that was what Vina felt.
Vina is now sitting on an ivory white sofa that feels so soft and soft. Although his body was still trembling, but his eyes still had time to observe his surroundings. One thing that Vina can capture from the atmosphere of Affan's apartment is elegant. This place is dominated by light gray color as well as white color and a little black accent. Of course the poor never seem to set foot in an apartment.
deheman's voice reminded Vina that she was not alone in this place. Right in front of her was a man looking at her intensely, making Vina feel clumsy.
“Um, sis. Thank you so much brother for helping me today” said Vina after a few minutes ago this room was silent without a single sound. Perhaps, Vina thought Affan was giving her time to calm down.
“Sama-sama,” reply Affan briefly.
Vina was silent, she didn't know what else to say, her brain was dead end. Honestly, he hoped that Affan would start the conversation soon and this awkward atmosphere that disturbed him would leave immediately.
“Do you remember the offer I gave you the other day?” Vina breathed a sigh of relief, finally the man spoke as well.
“Of course still, but..” said Vina hesitates.
“You still need time to think about it?” connect Affan.
“Listen Vina, I think you are not in a situation to be able to buy time again right? Take it easy, as soon as you agree to a contract agreement as my lover or boyfriend. All the debts you have will be paid off,” Affan looks so relaxed and confident saying that, as if he is absolutely sure that Vina will answer “ya”.
Hearing Affan's words certainly made Vina surprised. Hearing that Affan saved her by bringing a horde of bodyguards that made her escape from the deplector just now makes Vina still wonder how Affan can find out that she is in a precarious situation. Especially now, Affan even knows that he has a debt. Where does this man know?
“Of course I know, because since you came home that day you did not escape my supervision, as long as you know” has not also Vina said her astonishment turned out Affan had already answered Vina's question.
Hearing that explanation also made Vina let out a long sigh. Of course, taking it off from the rich is not easy, let alone the target himself. But Vina was grateful for that, because of that she could escape from the depollector who of course took her for no good reason regardless of her obligation to pay debts to them.
“I'm sure you can guess my answer, right? Yep! What else can I do when I'm in this state of flutter. After all, as long as you promise to pay for my life at least I don't have to worry about debt, rent, and my meal expenses later,” Vina rubbed the rest of the chocolate stuck to her lips then resumed her speech, “ I think it is not a bad choice.”
Affan who had been sitting on the sofa right across from Vina seemed to be smiling with satisfaction.
“Then you can sign this file. You can read it first and say if there are approval points that you want to add," Affan said while presenting a file containing a contract of pretend relationship between the two.
Vina grabbed the file and read it. Inside the piece of paper it looks there are approximately ten points where among them are the tasks that Vina must do, keep a secret, as well as an affirmation not to bring feelings to each other. For that point Vina felt no objection because she was sure that she could do it all. However his eyes suddenly glared when he saw the advantage that Vina could get.
"I-this? Are you sure?" Vina pointed to one of the points in the contract agreement.
Affan also turned his gaze to the place Vina was pointing at.
"Yes! Didn't I tell you. Once you agree to this agreement, then I will guarantee your life. Including with the salary and also this apartment," Affan replied so calmly.
As for Vina, it was almost as short of breath as not believing what she got in such a short period of time just because for a signature.
"So, do you want to sign this contract or not?" ask Affan when he sees Vina who is still dumb.
"Sure! I'll sign it right now" said Vina mantab. Besides being aware that his position now does not have another way out of his life problems. Vina is also not hypocritical if the offer Affan gives is so attractive. Who is a human being who rejects the guarantee of a stable and adequate life. As long as she did not earn it by selling self-esteem or depriving others of rights, Vina naturally did not want to waste the opportunity.
"Here, brother."
"Good, now I'm going. From now on, you can stay here and do whatever you want. This place is already yours," Affan said as he tidied the file back on his briefcase.
After that Affan got up from his seat and headed towards the door.
Before pulling the doorknob Affan paused for a moment, "I'll be here again to pick you up in two days to prepare you to meet my family," after which Affan immediately left Vina alone.
After Affan left, Vina still could not believe what had happened just now. The girl patted him on the cheek making sure he wasn't dreaming right now. Of course due to his actions he felt his cheeks reddened and sick. But instead of grimacing he just prancing pleasure.
“Astoge, I really didn't dream this right? Now I have a home!”
Vina ran to every room in the apartment, stroking the furniture there which she thought was expensive.
He squealed happily when he found the bedroom that was there. This apartment consists of a living room, pantry, balcony, and three rooms of the same size. His lips incessantly muttered in astonishment and occasionally gave a carefree shriek.
After being satisfied around Vina finally decided to choose the last room that has a balcony room. There he could see the view of Jakarta clearly.
After the girl finally felt tired, she also laid her body on the mattress. Vina was a little surprised. Didn't expect that the mattress he was sleeping on felt this soft. He felt like he was sleeping among a pile of goose feathers.
"Life no one knows. I was almost taken to a loan shark. It is certain that it is not sold in so-called wife who I know the same as the boss. Fortunately there was Affan who was hollow. Suddenly I was rich again. Just be a girlfriend pretending everything I need will be in fullin the same her. Huh, money why not from yesterday-yesterday accept his offer. If I can sleep quietly," murmured Vina while wriggling to improve the right sleeping position.
As her body felt tired, Vina felt her eyes begin to weigh and slowly blur. It only took a few seconds for her to fall asleep. This time he could sleep peacefully without having to think of money for each of his dependents.

In the largest mall in the capital Affan brought Vina into a clothing store and accessories with a brand that is quite famous expensive.
"Some sets of clothes and accessories are suitable for him," Affan told employees of the store.
"Good, sir. Miss let's follow me to find a dress that suits you, "the clerk did what Affan asked, and invited Vina to look around and match some things with her body.
After some time passed Vina returned with a daisy-patterned dress that looked very suitable on her slender body. Coupled with a white sling bag that ran across his shoulder. Vina approached Affan who looked relaxed sitting on the waiting sofa while looking through the catalogue provided there.
"Sister. How, is this fit to meet your family?" ask Vina so she doesn't make mistakes. Really, he was very blind at all about the events done by the rich people.
Affan who saw Vina with a dress that looks very fitting on the girl's body had stunned him for a moment. Before finally within a few seconds he was able to recondition his facial features.
"Pretty good," Affan commented briefly. After that he stood up and grabbed the wallet that was in his pants pocket. He also issued a dark-colored card to loyal employees waiting for customer requests.
"It! Please wrap everything. Ah, also take three after this as well" Affan said, pointing to a picture of the clothes in the catalog in his hand.
"Good, sir. Please wait a moment," replied the female employee politely.
Everything seemed normal other than Vina who was flabbergasted by what Affan was doing. That guy is really crazy. He bought almost all the items that were returned by the employee. Though Vina's eyes were almost dislodged when she fad peeked at the price logo that was not playing.
"Buset dah, this guy buy branded goods already rich buy cilok aja," Inner Vina grimaced in horror.
Seriate…
