Pretend Marriage (Pretending to be Married)
Clara's Plan

"Since when have you talked so much? Usually whatever I say you'll just shut up, won't deny anything even if I say you're ugly" Bia said.

"Since I met you!" brandon answered quickly.

Pufftts!

Bia spouted the water that was in her mouth. He glanced at Brandon's face, starting to hold back a laugh when he saw Brandon putting on his serious face.

"Uncle, parents don't like to brag!" ledek Bia's.

"Bia, once again you say I'm old, I'll prove to you that I'm not as old as you say I am!" brandon Cram.

"Hahaha, proof? What kind of evidence did you give? Jogging in the morning? Or run four hundred meters to prove your toughness?" Bia was still mocked while shaking her head. "Basic doesn't make sense!" grunts again.

"I can prove it by exercising in bed until we're bathed in sweat, or until you're drowning?" brandon Sahut. Suddenly, that answer made him unable to say anything more.

"It seems it's noon. To get to the Stop, I hitchhiked with you, "against Bia. He cleaned the dinner table and washed the dishes. After that, he went into his room and took his tote bag. While Brandon was just speechless while continuing to pay attention to Bia's hasty movements.

"Come on!" take Bia in a hurry.

Brandon did not say anything else, he followed behind Bia who had gotten into his car.

"Why are you sitting in the back?" brandon asked looking from the middle rearview mirror.

"Because I hitchhiked, so I sat in the back," Bia replied lightly.

Brandon drove his car at a moderate speed. It took half an hour to arrive at the Stop referred to by Brandon.

"Why did you choose a place like this anyway? It will be troublesome. Should choose in a place that is easy to reach to make it easier for me and you!" nagel Bia's.

"I've asked you. But, you answer it all up to me. Because I prefer a quiet place, so I chose that area" Brandon replied.

"Oh!" Bia just pissed off, because what Brandon said was true.

Arriving at the Stop, Bia immediately went down and closed the car door very strongly. Without saying goodbye or just saying thank you to Brandon.

Without Bia noticing, there was a pair of eyes that were drawing sharp glances at him. The man grinned then laughed wickedly.

"It seems, the plan I have prepared really should I run," murmured Clara.

"Haninbia, since you have started a conflict with me by betraying your own words, then don't blame me for the bad fate I always have on you!" a thin grin decorated with thorns was engraved on his lips.

Clara drove her car forward, her goal right now was just to meet the head of the art faculty to discuss something.

"Sir, for the antagonist we talked about yesterday, have you found him?" ask Clara.

"Not yet, Ms. Clara. Does Miss Clara have any recommendations?" ask Nugraha.

"There was. I have someone who is very experienced in this field. Surely you will be very satisfied with this person," said Clara with an evil smile.

"really? I'm very grateful if Ms. Clara is willing to include her as the female protagonist in our drama show later," Nugraha said hopefully.

"Surely, Sir. She must be very happy to be participating with us on stage this time," Clara exclaimed nodding her head repeatedly.

"I'll excuse you, sir. Later I will take him to the hall during practice" said Clara.

"Okay, Mom, I'm waiting for him."

Clara looked at the man's departure with a satisfied smile. The plan is already working fifty percent. The possibility of his plan succeeding perfectly was already very great.

*****

"Huh! May the journey of this plan begin and end well" Haninbia murmured.

"Bia, you're called to Ms. Clara's room!" said someone who deliberately approached Bia.

"Mom Clara?" Bia asked again to make sure once again, how did she know her ears were misheard.

"really. Now Ms. Clara is waiting for you in her room" said the man.

"Sorry, I'm busy. So, for the time being I can't see him" Bia refused.

"But, Ms. Clara said there's something important to tell you right now."

What's so important she wants to tell me? About staying away from Brandon? Ckk!

"good. I'll be there now."

Bia went straight to Clara's room. There was no hesitation or fear on his mind. He entered without knocking on the door first. Bia sat herself on a sofa, she leaned her head without saying anything, waiting for Clara to open the conversation.

"You're getting brave enough to show me your disrespect!" cycad Clara.

"If there's anything important, just get to the point. I don't like pleasantries!" timpal Bia without looking at Clara.

Clara felt furious, but she still put on her smiling face because this time it was Bialah who would lose.

"Pak Nugraha, asking you to be a female protagonist on the stage this time," said Clara immediately sulked at the core of the discussion.

"What?" bia's eyes immediately turned perfect.

"Pak Nugraha is asking, or are you recommending me?" ask Bia to investigate.

Turns out he's pretty smart, too.

"If you don't believe me, just ask Mr. Nugraha," concluded Clara who did not want to make another reason. He was afraid of not being able to hold back and instead said what he should not have said.

"Pak Nugraha doesn't recognize me because I'm not from the art faculty. And again, I knew enough that I didn't have the skills and qualifications to act so I never signed up. So, can you make a more reasonable and rational excuse?" bia said at length.

"It's up to you to believe it or not. I'm just saying what I've been entrusted with" said Clara.

"I refuse!" exclaim Bia kekeuh.

Cih, you think I'm afraid of your refusal? I have the key, Haninbia. If you refuse, there are still many threats I can use to make you agree.

"No problem. However, Mr. Nugraha has also said, if you refuse then your scholarship will be revoked." Clara smiled triumphantly.

Bia clenched her hands. Really, he felt he was being played.

What if my scholarship is revoked? My husband is the richest and most respected man. He can finance his grandchildren to study here. However, the effort that I had put in so much effort, had to be lost just because of this woman's deception? I cannot accept this defeat.

"Who's my co-star?" ask Bia seriously.

"The male protagonist is Jonathan" replied Clara, returning with a satisfied smile.
