This Friday, is the last day Syadira works in Aji's office. Today is also Bella's H-2 wedding day. That means, 2 more days is the last day of Syadira's contract relationship with Aji. According to the confession of Aji's men, Bella's men are not seen milling around Syadira's house. As is biased, today, Aji escorts Syadira after work.
“You enter first?” ask Syadira to Aji.
Aji nodded and entered the house.
While Syadira was making drinks for her contract lover, Aji went for a walk to check on the state of his house after several months of not being left behind. Accidentally, he saw a large suitcase in Syadira's room that was not closed. Aji briefly looked at the room and saw that it was clean from the belongings of Syadira.
“Please, Mas, mumpung still warm,” bargain Syadira.
Aji's face looked sad. “Dir, I really invite you to stay here.”
“I ‘kan already got a new cost, Mas, I have given you an advance as well,” replied Syadira refused Aji's offer.
Aji let out a long sigh while sitting next to Syadira. “No feeling yes 3 months passed very quickly. Dir, the day after tomorrow is Bella's wedding. The information I got from Jonas, everything is ready, so there is no chance Bella will run away from her marriage.”
Aji held Syadira's hand. “If you want, we can end it now, it's okay. Thank you for helping me, Dir.”
Syadira looked sad to hear Aji's words.
Aji intended to pay the remaining wages for Syadira's services, but Syadira refused. “Mas, no need. I'm sincerely helping Mas Aji. I'm grateful that Mas Aji can escape from a woman like Bella. The money that Mas Aji gave you is more than enough, no need to pay the rest.”
Aji refuses and forces Syadira to accept him. Syadira still kekeh does not want to accept and threatens Aji will tell Bella that they are just pretending, if Aji still gives her money. Aji can only resign to follow the will of Syadira.
“Dir, but what you get is not worth what you already do.” Aji was still trying to persuade Syadira to accept money from him.
Syadira smiled looking at Aji. “Mas, with this pretend relationship, I am so grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to be the luckiest woman. At least, during these 3 months, I can really feel like being your boyfriend, a perfect guy for me. You are like the ideal lover every woman expects. That's more than enough to pay me.”
Syadira thanked Aji for all the good Aji gave her. Starting from Aji's attention so far, Aji's protection, Aji's sincerity when carrying out the role of a lover, as well as Aji's treatments that unite Syadira. Syadira feels they are even, so Aji doesn't have to pay him anything.
Aji had offered an agreement to Syadira, if he wanted to follow Syadira's will, but on the condition that Syadira must want to stay at his home.
“Can't be so, Mas. It's not a favorable agreement, I don't want.” Syadira continues to reject Aji's request.
Aji really had to obey Syadira's request. “But, I can still ‘can you shuttle to the office?”
Syadira.
You have to keep your word with Selena. “However, he has helped you a lot. I have an idea, how about on Bella's wedding day, you come with her, let Bella get more shocked.”
“I want to stay with you, Dir. After all, in the agreement we should also end according to the date of Bella's marriage. If I go with Selena, it means I'm breaking the rules. Anyway I don't want to!” reject Aji without thinking.
“But ‘kan later there is a relationship of your father, Mas, if they know you are holding me, how?” syadira.
Aji remained on the same answer, not caring about who would see him. Aji charges for Syadira's answer to keep leaving together for the office, also picking her up. Again, Syadira refused Aji's offer.
“Dir, it does not mean that if our contract relationship ends, then our good relationship is also finished here, I just want to pick you up, why not get it?”
Syadira is only able to answer that Aji must open her heart to Selena. He also goes back to explaining who he is and who Aji is. They don't deserve to be together often.
Aji is upset with Syadira and decides to go home.
“Ngambek nih yeee,” Goda Syadira.
"I still have the right to kiss you, who knows Bella's men still see us" Aji said.

On Sunday, the day that Bella will have her wedding, Syadira and Aji are already preparing to attend the event.
“I don't know if someday Bella knows we're just pretending, surely she will be very upset,” Syadira said opening a conversation in the car.
Aji was satisfied and occasionally looked towards Syadira.
“Salah itself, already got a good even cheated. But Bella and Jonas are suitable, equally unholy,” replied Aji laughing.
Syadira, who was laughing at Aji's words, suddenly stopped her laughter.
“Mas Aji told me you came with me? What say? Is it okay?” syadira made sure everything was okay.
Aji nodded.
Aji recalled the debate with her father 3 days ago. As Syadira said, her father did want Aji to come with Selena because many of Bella's invited guests were her father's business relations. Aji's father doesn't want them to know that Aji has a relationship with a woman who is not equal to him. However, Aji managed to convince the father that this was all included in the contract agreement rules so Aji had to remain professional. Aji also promised the father that he would not linger at Bella's wedding, so as not to show curiosity about the figure of Syadira.
About 20 minutes away, they reached the wedding hall. Aji and Selena's father are waiting for Aji in front of the building. He looked at Syadira with a look that did not want his presence. Aji's father whispers something to Aji.
“You will not greet Bella and Jonas together with Syadira, Father and Selena will come behind you, so that your friends do not think you are dating. Even when eating, Selena must stay with you!”
Aji nodded with an annoyed face.
The four of them entered and began to queue to shake hands with the bride. Bella looks at the cynical Aji, Syadira, and Selena, then turns her eyes not wanting to look at them. They congratulate and greet Bella and Jonas. Not to forget, Selena affixed her mutiara words.
“Congratulations dear Bella, you are finally married too. After becoming a wife, don't like nosy ya darling. Obey your handsome husband,” Selena laughs.
Bella is getting upset.
While going to eat together, Aji permits her father to leave the building with Syadira. Aji was uncomfortable with the eyes of the invited guests. Aji's father asks them out with Selena as well. Selena takes Aji and Syadira out of the building.
Meanwhile, Aji's father still wants to be in the party, he chats with his colleagues. “Iya, Selena is close to Aji, who was her friend Aji, Selena's friend also.”
While in the parking lot, Selena seemed to talk to Aji as well as Syadira.
“Thank God today is over. Syadira, thank you so much for helping Aji. Aji, you didn't forget ‘kan equal your promise?”
“We talk about it later, I want to take Syadira home first,” replied Aji lazily responded to Selena and passed to her car.
###
The next morning, as Aji enters the lobby of his office, he sees a foreign female figure who is next to Vita. Aji didn't see Syadira. Suddenly, Aji's face became serious.
Aji rushes to Vita.” Where is Syadira? You're a new employee?”
“Syadira resigns, sir,” replied Vita slowly with a lowered head.
Aji does not believe Vita's answer because he still met Syadira yesterday while helping move to his new boarding house finished coming to Bella's event. Vita can only be silent, not daring to see Aji. Aji forces Vita to tell him what happened so that Syadira suddenly does not work in his office anymore.
“I'll tell you everything but not here, Mr.” Vita is terrified if anyone sees her talking to Aji about Syadira.
