Married to Mr. Ares
I Want to Live For Myself

“ Sorry sir, you sure you'll run the idea? ” ask Lyra.

“ Of course, if you yourself believe that the design is worthy ” reply Aslan no less enthusiastic.

Aslan recalled, when he first saw the design made by Lyra, and how he was very confident that the design would be the best hotel building according to the criteria of his company. But it is unfortunate that he has to contradict the company executives who consider that the design is only a work made to win the race, without an estimate of the real project.

“ I am confused to answer sir, because I myself am only a student yet to have direct experience ” Lyra replied with consideration.

“ Listen yes, what I want to make sure is whether this design you made solely for the race, without any adjustments to the real project? ” press Aslan.

“ I made this design with a lot of environmental planning and adjustment, according to the criteria that the race at that time ”

“ Nice! ” exciting Aslan.

Lyra did not know what to say.

“ Then with that you will be assigned as the person in charge of the implementation of this design project ” continued Aslan, which did not make Lyra even more surprised.

“ Ta-but sir, I do not understand at all bear the responsibility, it is a project that is an important task ” said Lyra assured.

“ Relax I have also thought about it, you will be the deputy or assistant of the main architect, you will work together to complete the project ”

“ Really?! thank you very much Sir. I am so honored to earn that trust ” exclaimed Lyra grateful.

“ Okay for the next will probably be explained by my secretary, you can go now ” Aslan said.

“ Good thank you Pak ”

Lyra still felt like a dream, after coming out of Aslan's room, she headed towards the secretary's place as directed.

* * *

At exactly 6 p.m., Lyra arrived at her house. Today was quite satisfying for him because all his work went well.

Just as he had stepped into the house, he had been startled by the figure of Ares sitting on the sofa.

“ Where are you from? ” asked Ares with a probing look at Lyra.

Now what's more, the inner Lyra he squeezed tightly into his handbag.

“ I think it's a rhetorical question ” replied Lyra trying as quietly as possible.

“ You mean? ” says Ares confused.

“ Your master here must have known me from where, without the need I answer ” Lyra feel useless if Ares thinks he does not know that he always puts stalkers around Lyra.

“ Why are you doing internships? is there a need you lack? ” said Ares, which for Lyra is a statement that with all the luxury around Lyra for let alone her work.

“ I did it not for money, but I want to finish my apprenticeship task immediately for the final thesis ” Lyra replied soberly.

“ So because of that, well you can resign and work at my company ” said Ares

“ I won't do it ” denies Lyra.

Ares's facial features instantly changed, his jaw hardened receiving a rebuttal from Lyra.

Lyra knew Ares was angry, she wanted to die the man immediately, so she immediately continued walking towards her room.

“ Why do you always make things difficult Lyra? ” asked Ares with great emphasis.

“ I've decided to work there, can't I decide something for myself ” replied Lyra stopped her footsteps.

“ Then what about the baby, you've thought about what's best for her. When you work and something happens with you and our baby, have you thought about it? ”

“ Compared to you, I know my body better, the limits of my abilities, and the times when I feel my body is not good. But do you ever think that every time we meet you always just start a fight ” Lyra said as a crushing attack for Ares.

“ I don't intend to always be at odds with you ”

“ Then it's good, can you just let this thing go and don't bother with it anymore. Because it's tiring ” Lyra complained.

Lyra stared intensely at Ares, can Ares guess the tired look of the woman.

“ That don't need you can go home, I'll eat later ” reject Lyra

“ Go Ly, if you don't want to keep arguing. Then just do ” said Ares.

Lyra was obviously upset about it, but she did not argue with Ares anymore but rather she immediately went into her room to take a bath.

After about half an hour, Lyra came out of the room and headed towards the dining table. There was some food there.

“ Sit down, I order this food, but if you want others to just say ” Ares orders.

“ No need ” Lyra replied and sat down immediately. After they ate in silence, only the sound of eating utensils was heard.

“ Which company do you work for? ” asked Ares breaking the silence when they had finished eating, and Lyra was washing dishes in the sink.

“ Founding Company ” answer is short.

“ How long will you be apprenticing? ”

“ Only about 3 months ”

“ Why did you decide to finish your studies this semester? ”

“ Hmmm... I just want to finish it when I'm still not big, so later I can focus on the baby ” explained Lyra.

“ If you feel uncomfortable working there, tell me you can work in my company anytime ”

Lyra didn't answer she just kept focusing on her laundry.

After washing the dishes he saw Ares who was still sitting there, busy playing his phone.

“ You want to drink something? ” asked Lyra hesitated to Ares, for she too would drink her pregnant milk.

“ No, I will also be home soon ” replied Ares.

Lyra nodded then she made her milk.

“ Ly, then what about the parlour? ” asked Ares suddenly.

What now he's going to re-threaten me on the grounds of the orphanage children, inner Lyra.

He looked at Ares fixedly looking for the man's true intentions.

“ It's up to you ” replied Lyra.

This time I can't show weakness so they can pressure me for it.

“ I mean after Madame Diandra died, of course Panti must have a nanny as well as the head of the parlor, you do not want to be the head of the foundation of the orphanage? ”

“ No Sir, maybe you can find someone else to take care of the parlour. I will not interfere anymore ” said Lyra although in her small heart, she did not have the heart of her indifferent attitude towards the orphanage after the death of her mother.

“ I will keep financing the parlor you don't have to worry about it ” Ares guessed that Lyra was worried she would do something to the parlour.

“ It's up to you, honestly I don't assume I'm bound to our agreement anymore. After my mother died I had no reason to continue following the agreement. In the letter it was not written that I could not cancel the agreement ” explained Lyra as calmly as possible.

“ I also do not run the agreement anymore, without the agreement I will also keep financing the parlor, you do not have to worry about it ”

“ I'm not worried, even if you don't want to pay for a home anymore, I won't interfere. Now I just want to live for myself ” added Lyra.

Ares was silent at Lyra's words.

“ In fact we need to be a little selfish, and selfish of ourselves. Letting go of all that is possible is destiny and just being happy enough for yourself ”

Lyra repeats what Diandra once told Lyra, that when things are hard enough for Lyra it's okay to be selfish.
