"How did it go, Mother?" sofia asked as soon as she saw Fina finished calling someone.
"Successful! The madam of the Bashara family accepted our offer!" fina replied with a big smile.
"Haha, great! Apparently Sherina the unlucky bearer was still useful even though she had already entered the mental hospital! Unfortunately also his fate, once he married then his life will not be long. Sherina definitely can't escape that curse! Oh yeah, I'll go first, Mom!" said Sofia while carrying her bag.
"Where are you going?" ask Fina.
"I want to see Satya, ask her to take care of the divorce papers immediately. It's been almost 2 weeks since Sherina we put her in a mental institution. Soon she will be the victim of the Bashara family, while her identity is still the legal wife of Satya. So, before we sell something, shouldn't we make sure it's free of ownership?"
"True, then ask Satya to immediately take care of the divorce papers!" replied Fina who gave her full support.
"Well, I'm leaving now, Mom!" Sofia immediately walks away from her home to meet Satya.
This family really treated Sherina badly. Not only did they make him suffer, now they also plan to use Sherina and sell her to the Bashara family. They all do whatever they can to make their evil plan work.
Until the day before the meeting with Vicky Bashara. The new banner took the time to pick up Sherina who was still in the mental hospital. After Panji pleaded with the officers, he was granted permission to speak to Sherina privately.
"What do you need to do here?" asked Sherina in a tinge. He was so sick of seeing his father's face, he even threw away his manners or respect.
"During the meeting, how are you?" ask the Panji who is just a pleasant talk. Unanswered, she could tell what Sherina was like when she saw her disheveled and unkempt appearance. Though pathetic, she is satisfied that Sherina is having a difficult day.
"Just tell me the point!" snapped Sherina who was starting to lose her temper. His hatred for Panji had already piled up, if any longer he might claw at his father's not-so-thick self-knowing face.
"All right." The banner then took out a piece of paper and a pen, put the two objects on the table and thrust them at Sherina. "This is a divorce warrant from Satya! Sign this quickly!"
"...." - ".Sherina was silent, staring at the paper fixedly. Read every word on it, as well as think about what kind of purpose is the motive behind it. Sherina knew that Panji couldn't have bothered to deliver this letter if it wasn't beneficial to her.
"God!" The smiling banner underestimated. Consider Sherina's current silence as a reaction to the heartbreak of being divorced by Satya.
"All right! After all there is no point in having a husband bajing*n!" said Sherina who immediately signed the paper quickly. "I've signed, now go!"
"Eh?!" The banner flinched, what Sherina did was completely beyond her shadow. She imagined that Sherina would cry and plead not to be divorced.
"Wait a minute, there's one more thing I want to tell you! Today I will take you out of here as long as you agree to my terms! My condition is, once you get out of here then you should marry the young master of the Bashara family!"
"Huh?" Sherina is confused, not expecting that her father will tell her to remarry when she just signed the divorce papers. But he began to understand the meaning of his father. Sherina is not a fool, she already knows about the curse rumors attached to the Bashara family.
"How can Bashara and I get married? We've never met, where does he know me?" asked Sherina with a piercing look.
"Easy, we sold you! Tomorrow you meet him and talk about marriage!" answer Panji with a sly grin.
"You ...." Sherina was furious, not thinking if the torture for her was not over. However, Sherina did not immediately darken her eyes, she chose to shut up and think.
Married to the young master of Bashara, this is definitely a marriage aimed at subverting me. But I am someone who has risen from the dead. I've been dead once, I don't want to die so easily a second time. If I refuse this offer, this old man will definitely keep me here. Maybe I should just accept it, after all this is a chance for me to get out of this place.
"Well, if marriage can get me out of here, then I will!" sherina said with confidence.
"Smart, what an obedient and devoted child!" Panji smiled in satisfaction, everything he had planned so far went smoothly without a hitch.
***
The day changed, because Sherina had agreed to the terms given by Panji, then today she had to have a meeting with Vicky Bashara. The meeting was held at a restaurant, precisely the family heritage restaurant currently managed by Satya. Sherina thinks that her life is really sad, divorced and is now in her ex-husband's restaurant to get acquainted with his future husband.
Shangri-La Restaurant, that's the name of the restaurant that specifically serves this chinese cuisine. Despite its long standing, the decor of this restaurant still looks awesome. Various decorations such as ceramic jars, paintings and Chinese calligraphy decorations also add an impression with a distinctive feel.
And now, Sherina was alone in a VIP room. He was here all at the behest of his father. In fact, today he is also dressed beautifully and wearing luxurious clothes to welcome the arrival of Vicky Bashara.
Suddenly the door of the room was opened, two servants then gave a welcome to someone who had just arrived. This tall and handsome guy is Vicky Bashara, he came alone still wearing his office clothes.
"So she ..." murmured Sherina who was slightly stunned by Vicky's appearance. In the next second he regained his senses, thinking if he should not be fooled into his good looks. He has a bad impression, has been kapok because of misjudging Satya whose appearance is also equally good.
"I'm sorry for my delay, there was a road repair and traffic became jammed," said Vicky who then immediately sat in the chair that had been provided.
"It's okay," Sherina replied in a condescending tone. I don't know why I'm so nervous to remember if this guy is going to be her new husband.
Silent, none of them intended to start the conversation or ask the waiter to serve food. Vicky didn't talk and ask because he already knew the ins and outs about Sherina. From the documents he obtained, he could find out about Sherina's biography in full. She also knows that Sherina is a widow.
"Do you believe in curses?" asked Vicky who suddenly broke the silence.
"Eh? No.." replied Sherina.
"Hmm .. So you don't believe me, is this why you want to marry me? Because you're not afraid to die after marrying me?" ask Vicky again. And this time his gaze was more piercing than before.
Sherina did not answer. Instead he smiled faintly after seeing the way Vicky looked at him. "I know if Mr. Vicky is a smart man, I'm sure Mr. Vicky knows everything. And I ask, no need to keep my attitude and pity. I don't mind getting married because I don't have the right to object. I'm this .. already sold by my family to you."
"Well if that's what you want, please don't hurt if I say what it is. You've been sold by your family to be the bride in my place. Therefore, let me give you a reasonable fee to repay your willingness."
Suddenly, Vicky pulled out a brown envelope from his pocket. He handed the envelope to Sherina. "Open up!" her door.
Sherina nodded, she received the envelope and immediately opened it. Inside the envelope was a piece of paper, a piece of paper whose contents could make Sherina's eyes round. "I-this is all ... Not overkill?"
"No, it's all you deserve. I write down whatever you deserve, so accept it and don't refuse it!" vicky said with emphasis.
"T-but ..this dowry, one apartment unit, three car units, several sets of diamond jewelry. Isn't all this too much for me to be made into a collision?" asked Sherina who wanted to make sure once more.
"Many or no depends on your own thinking. If you believe in that superstition, you'll die soon and all that treasure won't be able to afford a life. So Miss Sherina, I'm asking you once again, do you believe the curse is real or not? Are you afraid of dying?"
"I don't believe it and I'm not afraid to die!" sherina replied spontaneously.
Just a curse won't make me die! I believe that God gave me a second life because he loves me. God will always protect me. After all, I have experienced death, I am not afraid to face death once again. This curse, I can certainly prove that this is just a lie.
"Miss Sherina, to be honest .. I'm flattered by your bravery. If only my lover had the same courage as you, we might have been married a long time ago. But that's it, I'm doing this because it calms his heart" Vicky said with a bitter smile.
"Eh? So Mr Vicky himself doesn't believe in this curse?" ask Sherina.
Vicky sighed. "From the beginning I didn't believe it, which is why it was also a difficult decision for me. But I promise you. After we get married later, we do not need to carry out obligations or interfere in each other's personal affairs. Think of this marriage as a condition of repelling curses."
"All right, I get it. It's like a contract marriage, and an automatic contract will expire if I die. But, Mr. .. What if I don't die?" ask Sherina again.
"Pffttt .. I didn't think you'd ask me that." Vicky laughed, amused by Sherina's unexpected funny question.
"Why laugh?" murmured Sherina who felt that there was nothing wrong with her question.
"I'm sorry" said Vicky, who stopped laughing. Then suddenly reached out to shake hands with Sherina. "Miss Sherina, I expect good cooperation from you!"
"Yes, me too." Sherina grabs Vicky's hand and shakes it.
There's nothing more they're talking about. As a result Vicky took the initiative to ask the waiter to start serving food. Vicky felt even more relieved after meeting Sherina in person. Although this marriage is not based on love, at least he gets people to work with. Not having feelings for each other and not holding each other back.
As for Sherina, she was also relieved that her future husband was not the arrogant young master she thought he was. He thought, having a royal husband-to-be doesn't seem bad either. At least it won't get in the way of revenge plans on Satya and his family.
"Oh yeah, there's one thing I forgot to say. Our wedding will be held in 3 days" said Vicky at the dinner.
"Uhuk-uhukk ....!" Sherina gagged.
