Secretary Vs Mr. Arrogants
S2 ~ Lover rental
In the car, Farhan tries to manage his annoyance given the brother-in-law who always provokes emotions. "Why did you pull me, honey?"
"Well how else? You're so childish, where was the once arrogant and bossy Farhan?"
"What you get by struggling with Leon, is nothing more than Adit and Abi. Even they don't act that way, either" continued Tirta who tried to find peace.
"Now how's Cake? I'm sure if Leon's brother won't stay silent, what he's saying is absolute. Surely Aluna has been blacklisted," reported Ayu has run out of sense with a failed plan.
"Is your grandfather stupid? He won't be able to fight me, just look at my game and you're just splashing a little fire." Tirta smiled faintly as her plan had been carefully thought out.
"Yes, I believe in Grandpa."
Farhan escorted his wife to Hendrawan's residence, while Tirta was just escorted to the airport. "Are you sure you want to go abroad?"
"Of course, stupid Leon is unreliable."
"Hem, take good care of Grandpa. I'll go first!" pamit Farhan walked out of the airport.
On the other hand, Leon is so convinced by the fate of Aluna who is full of pain and also miserable. Staring out the window and sipping a cold drink that so relieved his throat, the smile on his face never faded. "Now that she will come and beg me, who would want to marry such a crazy woman?" the monologue, the hand that was made into a pedestal of the face and the other side a cold drink."
****
Aluna was crying all day when she felt troubled when she heard the words that hurt her so much, wasn't she just joking? Then why would Leon give him such a punishment that hurt his feelings.
I don't know how many boxes of tissue he's spent, crying over the man he loves so much. Both eyes were swollen, and tears just kept pouring down. "Why is Leon so rude? I'm just kidding, why is his life always serious?" his monologue, while violently removing the liquid in the nose, throws freshly used tissue. The originally clean room became very dirty with a pile of tissues scattered all over the floor.
"If only we hadn't met that time, maybe I wouldn't have cried over a jerk like him. What am I supposed to do now?" Aluna immediately grabbed her phone and contacted Aunt Ruo.
"Hello, Bi."
"Hello, have you given up?"
"Jeez.stop betrothing me bi, I'm heartbroken and aunty even broke my heart for my gelana."
"You're so narcissistic, your voice sounds hoarse. Have you been crying? Crying over the man you love?"
"Yes, I'm crying because of that man."
"Give up now, 'cause you're gonna get me a match with your father's business partner's son."
"Who else is that?"
"Friends of your father, that man is very handsome and aunt has seen him."
"Heh, I don't want to be betrothed. I'm still expecting my dream man to save me that day."
"You always say your dream man, but you don't say his name and what he looks like. Just accept the matchmaking from auntie, she's very handsome and also on par with us."
"No."
There was another cell phone notification, a short message sent by Ruo's aunt. He immediately opened and read the contents of the message, which turned out to be a threat if he had to bring the man he loved in front of his aunt if he wanted to cancel the match. "What else is this? aunt Ruo threatened me? But this is good, at least I'm not betrothed to a man I don't know. But, where do I find a rented lover?" he thought of finding a hired lover to meet the aunt who always forced him.
He immediately ran towards his desk and opened his laptop, looking for something to save himself from the matchmaking. The crazy idea just came to mind, finding a dating app with a man who had registered. Instantly his eyes sparkled brightly when he found a handsome man who looked suitable for rent. "I'll finally find him, I'll call the guy." His mutter who immediately contacted the man who would become his rental lover.
"Hello, is this really Mars?"
"Yes, who am I talking to?"
"I'm Aluna, can we meet. There's something I'd like to agree with you about a hired lover."
"Okay, with pleasure. Just send us a date and I'll be there on time."
"Good."
Aluna is very happy if her problems will soon disappear, very excited to meet a handsome man and make a deal between them.
****
Aluna smiled as she looked at the handsome man in a suit in front of her, even more handsome than the original photo on the app. "Wow, it's up to your criteria." Praise in the heart.
"It's nice to meet you, you're so beautiful." Praise the smiling Mars.
"Thank you, you're also very handsome. It seems you are not a random man" said Aluna who watched the man before her.
"Well, I'm tired of my routine and that's why I signed up for the app."
"Well, this is perfect. Like symbiotic mutualism, we need each other. I want you to be a hired lover during my arranged marriage to be annulled."
"Well, I don't think it's heavy. You don't have to pay me, just as long as you acknowledge me as your lover in front of everyone. Isn't that an interesting offer?"
Aluna began to think, about the risks and also the benefits considering Leon who had expelled him made her heart even more sick. "For my only problem is one, stopping my matchmaking with a foreign man. Leon has also kicked me out, why do I expect too much from the uncertain? Mars isn't bad either, he's a handsome guy and he's rich." His mind is judging.
"Hows it? Have you thought about it?"
"I've thought about the consequences. From now on you are my lover and vice versa."
"Deal." Mars welcomed Aluna's hand after agreeing to their agreement, he smiled with satisfaction as he got to know the beautiful woman before him. "Order the food, I'll pay the bill."
"Eh, I'll just. I'm the one who needs you, and I pay the bill."
"No, a man's self-esteem will fall when a woman pays the bill. Just order! I won't fall poor." Mars offered it.
"Alright, you're very understanding."
The closeness of the two people not far away made one clench both hands, a sharp look of eyes that signified the anger of the man. "Who is that guy? Why do they look so close?" muttered Leon who could not see the face of the man who was with Aluna.
