My Perfect Stranger's
Ardigo's Request

Flashbacks

Inside an apartment room, a tall man is seen re-wearing his clothes after a heated struggle with his lover. After buttoning up her pants, she then wears the blue t-shirt she wore last night.

On the bed the woman was still at home lying with a blanket covering her innocent body. He just looked at the man who looked cold, very different when they were wrestling

"I don't want to know, you have to find another victim. Ardigo seems to have been very disgusted to you, there's no way he wants to go back"

"Can't you stop telling me like that? I'm sick of hearing it every day!" reply the woman

"Our savings are running low, and if we spend everything, what will we eat? think that!"

"You should have thought of that! why aren't you the only one looking for a job? you're just lazing around and spending all the money I've made"

"Listen Felicya, you won't be able to escape my grasp. So use this pretty face of yours to make money, just like you did with Ardigo back then" Jerry stroked Felicya's face

"Originally, I really liked it. Not only did she give me money, she treated me like a queen. Not like you" Felicya replied. He sat down and leaned on the headboard

Jerry just smiled mockingly

"Treated like a queen? but unfortunately a cheap woman like you doesn't deserve to be treated that way" Jerry mocked

"Close your mouth! however, almost every day you also enjoy the body of this cheap woman. You're completely different from Ardigo!"

Felicya always remembers how lucky she was when she became Fabiyan's Corp's CEO's girlfriend. Ardigo who loved him very much and also kept his honor. The man had never done anything more than kisses and hugs.

Jerry laughed softly at Felicya's annoyance

"Of course I'm different from him, baby. He left you when he found out about your rot. As for me, I'm sticking with you even though I know how bad you are. Am I not more loyal?" jerry said with a smile

Felicya simply held back the resentment in her heart. Jerry's insults and taunts are nothing new to him. Instantly she thought why she used to love a guy like Jerry. He was so stupid that he would do anything for his lover, including betraying a man as good as Ardigo. Even the feelings for Ardigo only became apparent after the man left his life

"Now you should think about how to find new prey. Or if you still want to try to get close to Ardigo, go ahead. Take it easy I will also work, I will help find a suitable prey for you. I'll go first, see you dear" Jerry kissed Felicya's lips briefly then left and left the woman alone

"I want Ardigo and only Ardigo. It's all because of that damn woman! If only she had not come and destroyed everything, I would have lived quietly and become Fabiyan's mistress. I'm not gonna let you happy jerk girl!" felicya held back her anger. A flash of hatred emanated from both of his eyes

Flash back off

This morning Vano looked happy and excited as if nothing had happened last night.

"We'll be gone, won't we?" ask the boy again to make sure

"Yes, dear" Friska replied smiling

Ardigo just stared at the boy and his wife. Friska had indeed told Ardigo that today she would take Vano for a walk. Of course the man allowed it

"Where are you going?" finally the man made a sound

"Maybe to the mall and the park alone, mas" replied Friska

"What time's it going?"

"After Vano's school"

"This morning you're going to work?" ask Ardigo

"Yes. Later in the day I'll ask permission to go with Vano"

Ardigo was silent for a moment when he heard his wife's reply

"Just be careful. Later you will be accompanied by Mr. Danang. Let me know if there's anything"

"Yeah"

"Later after breakfast come with me for a while" Ardigo told Friska who was met with a confused look and followed by a nod by the girl

After finishing breakfast, Friska followed Ardigo to the man's study

"What's up, mas?" asked Friska to open her voice

Ardigo approached and stood right in front of the girl. His hand reached into his pants pocket to grab something and he grabbed Friska's hand and placed the flat object in the wife's palm

"What's this?"

"Can't you see that this is a card?"

Friska glanced sharply at Ardigo

"I'm just returning yours"

"meaning? I've never had this before" Friska replied in confusion

"It's yours, you threw it. So now I'm giving it back"

"It's got you. So you don't have to give it back"

"It's yours and yours. Use this card to buy whatever you want. Don't make me feel poor because I haven't paid for my wife. You've never used my money a dime. You are my responsibility, so take this card and please use it" Ardigo said

Friska just stared at the black card in the palm of his hand, in contrast to the card that Ardigo had once given

He used to tell me not to wastefully use his cards, now he's asking me to buy whatever I want with that card. Fucking weird

friska recalled the first time Ardigo gave her a card

"But why is it different from the old cards?" ask Friska

"I'm replacing it"

"Wait, is this what's called a black card?" asked Friska when she remembered something

"Yes"

"God! after all I only rich artists and entrepreneurs who have this card" said Friska who invited a thin smile Ardigo

"You forgot whose husband you were?" ask Ardigo

"Buffed base" Friska muttered making Ardigo chuckle softly

"Please don't throw it again. I worked hard like this to get it"

"Hmm" Friska murmured and put the card into her pants pocket

"There's something I want to talk about as well" Ardigo said

"What's that?"

"Before I ask you not to be angry first. If you don't mind I'd like to ask you to stop working at the cafe. I don't want to rule you after giving you that card. It's just that I don't like you working hard like that. I feel like I'm the poorest person when I see your sweat dripping from working too hard. You have a husband who can support you more than enough. Moreover, you are busy with thesis tasks, so you better focus on completing them"

"I'm just asking you to consider it. I will appreciate whatever your decision will be" said Ardigo

Friska just silently looked at Ardigo's serious face. The look in the man's eyes seemed to convince him that he was a reliable person and could be in charge of Friska

"I'll think about it later"

"All right"

"It's better that now you and Vano leave before it's too late" Friska recalled

"Yes"

Ardigo and Vano are ready to go. Friska drove the two men to the front door of the apartment

"Student learning, baby. Mama's gonna pick up Vano"

"Ready ma. Vano and papa go first yes" the boy shakes Friska's hand and the girl lands a kiss on the boy's forehead

"We left first" now Ardigo who spoke

"Be careful"

Ardigo looked at Friska for a moment then with a quick movement of the girl's smooth forehead

Friska only pecked in surprise at the man's actions

While Ardigo immediately took Vano away because he also felt his own misdeeds

Upon awakening Friska instantly felt her cheeks heat up. He palpated Ardigo's kiss marks and his heart suddenly skipped a beat

"She's getting more and more daring to kiss me" Friska murmured softly still trying to calm her heartbeat

Then he decided to get ready and immediately went to the cafe for work. For Ardigo's request let him think again.

To be continued.
