Marriage of Debt Relay
*Bab 2

"I know that college. The most famous campus in the city. Being able to graduate with the best grades is the proudest thing. But baby, you should marry a disabled man like me. A paralyzed man who can't do anything but sit in a wheelchair."

The words made Dinda's heart tremble a little. Not because he was praised by Ilya. Rather, because Ilya's self-deprecating words made Dinda feel a little uncomfortable with her heart.

"W-w-why are you talking about that?"

"Because that's the truth, Dinda. I'm a crippled man. You also have certainly heard bad rumors about me in this village, right? I'm sure you must have been forced to accept this marriage."

Dinda didn't know what to answer. What is clear is that Ilya's words are true. He was forced to accept this marriage.

"You're silent. I know what I said is true."

"I .... "

"No need to argue. Because it is common for humans to want the perfect for their life partner. Plus, we two who don't know each other let alone fall in love. How can you not marry me?"

Linda was once again silent. You see, what Ilya said was true. He wanted to admit it blatantly, but his conscience was still functioning well. There was no way he would hurt the man directly by admitting what the man said.

While Ilya who saw Dinda did not answer what he said, now immediately spoke up. "For that Dinda, I'm sorry. Because to be honest, I can't refuse my father's request to marry you either. Dad said you were the right girl for me. Therefore, he forced me to marry you."

That explanation made Dinda quite interested.

"Your father ... said so? Ma--isn't this marriage because your father wanted to take a debt from my father?"

"That's just an excuse, Dinda. Because my father's main purpose is to make you my wife."

"Kok .. How can you? Why did your father choose me for you? Didn't I come from a family that didn't belong?"

"I don't know either. To be sure, dad was very adamant that I agree to marry you. Until, the old man threatened me with the threat of not letting me stay in town if I didn't want to marry you."

"Living in town? Mean you?" Dinda's getting confused right now. Every explanation Ilya gave was enough to make it difficult to digest the core of the problem he was facing. Therefore, he looks constantly like a person who is attacked by dizziness.

"lho, your parents didn't say that after marriage, you'll come with me to live in the city?"

Dinda replied with a soft slit. Because he was told nothing but their wedding day. He didn't even know what Ilya was like before. Because no one told me about Ilya.

Actually, it's not nothing. Only, Dinda and Ilya have both not settled in the village for the past few years.

Dinda has lived in the city with her aunt since she entered high school (SMA). Then, he continued to be there after he graduated school. That's because Dinda's parents want Dinda to continue her education in the same city.

While Ilya anyway, he had not even lived in his village since he graduated elementary school. Secondary school, as well as other further education he continued in the city.

In fact, Ilya was a good boy before her mother left. Because after leaving, Ilya's father continued to pamper Ilya excessively. He never taught, but followed everything Ilya wanted. Because of that, Ilya matures into a bad man.

But, that opinion was immediately removed by the circumstances after Dinda saw for herself, if what was rumored was even very much different from what was happening.

Ilya did not look like the bad guy he had been thinking about all along. In fact, the man looked more like a big-hearted man ready to humble himself in front of his interlocutor.

'Uh .... Dinda, don't affect you now. Don't forget that he is a playboy man who has many women. So, if he was kind and gentle now, it was a natural thing. Crocodiles are looking for prey.' Dinda spoke in her heart.

"Ah, if there's nothing else you want to talk about, can I rest now, Il--Ilya?" Really, when he wanted to call Ilya's name made Dinda feel a bit nervous so he said with a tone of encouragement.

"Don't call me names, Dinda. Not good at hearing people. Call me with the mas frills, or. Maybe it'll be better."

"O-oh. Ba--well. I ... Will call you brother."

"As far as you. Just sound sweet in the ear."

"Oh yeah, are you ready to go back to town with me, Din? Mm. .. Because you haven't answered me yet then I repeat the question again. So, wait a minute if you want to rest well."

"That's ... Why do we have to live in the city?"

"Because I have a business there."

"Usaha?" When the reason for the choice Ilya said, Dinda instead looks unsure. Because what was on his mind was still a bad thing about Ilya's life before.

"Yes. A small business that I built a while ago. But, the results are already visible, Din."

"Mm .. because we will always be close from now on. I'll tell you a little about my efforts. Actually, I've built a business or .. more precisely the company. However, it only lasted a few years."

"What's? You ... are building a company?"

"Hem." Ilya said while nodding softly. "Yes. I'm building a company. Uh, not being, but just learning. But I'm not the one running it. I just move it through the screen. The one who runs it all is my confidant."

That explanation really amazed Dinda. Well, although there's a little doubt. But it seemed, the doubt suddenly disappeared due to the belief of what Ilya said.

"So ... Therefore you want to stay in the city, brother Ilya? Mm ... do you know about the business you're building?"

"No. No one knows but the people closest to me. Because I don't want them to scoff at me when they know that I failed to do what I was doing. Because ... I have a very bad name in the eyes of many people."
