The Cold Wife
IYD 18'S

"Fuck, shit!" Sabrina kept swearing. He was still very upset with the man. "How dare he kiss me, who does he think he is, huh?"

The girl walked towards her studio with quick steps. Then take the painting of the man and place it roughly on the easel. Then take the brush and paint.

"Hey, you. You're such a jerk. Your face is handsome, but you have no manners. And what did you say just now? You want to marry me, right? Until you go to hell, I won't. Just die, Alfarez. I hate you." Sabrina crossed the face until it was shapeless. His heart was completely satisfied as it had already vented its irritation at the painting.

"Huh, if only that was your real face. I'll scratch you until your handsome face becomes ugly. Cih, just remembering her face makes me sick." He kicked the easel until the painting fell. Then he went away from there.

Sabrina dropped down on the bed after changing clothes. Look at the ceiling for quite a while. Until the ringing sound of the phone managed to pull it from the daydream. Lazily he got up from his position, taking his cell phone on the study table. His eyebrows raised next door when he saw the name of the person he most avoided was on his cellphone screen, namely his stepmother. Lazily he scrolls the green button. Then put the phone in the ear.

"Hello."

"Hey bastard!" Sabrina closed her eyes when she heard the insults she had not heard for a long time. And slowly those beautiful eyes opened again.

"What's wrong?" Ask flat.

"Sad, what an insult when I decided to call you. But it's okay, I need you right now. Uh bastard, tomorrow back to L. A. My husband and I have paired you with one of the great New York businessmen. Even though he was no longer young, he still looked handsome. Hurry home, you should know to return the favor a little. Don't keep bothering your Daddy."

Sabrina was not at all surprised to hear that, because very often her stepmother did as she pleased. "Just match that guy with your daughter. I don't need a rich man. I already have a lover." Sahut Sabrina.

"Bad. If you don't come home tomorrow, don't expect you'll get money from your Daddy."

"Whatever." Sabrina was about to hang up. But he ignored his intentions when he heard the heavy voice of the man he loved so much. For three years he never heard that voice again.

"Dad." Sabrina's voice suddenly shook.

"Sab, how are you?"

"Ba__good, Dad. Daddy how?" Sabrina walked towards the bed, sitting there with a raging feeling.

"Daddy's fine, how was your lecture there? Daddy heard you were almost done, huh?" The soft voice managed to make his heart warm.

"Yes, Dad."

"Tomorrow.. Can you not come home?"

Sabrina was silent for a moment. "So the matchmaking is real, Dad?"

"Yes. Forgive Daddy, Sab. Daddy was forced to do this, the company was on the verge of collapse because your sister tricked someone influential in L. A. Only that man can help us, and you can help Daddy. You know Queen's still a little kid."

A round of clear water dripped just like that from his eye pelup. "What if I refuse, Dad?"

There is no lawfulness there.

"Dad?"

"Sab, do you have a boyfriend?"

The question managed to make him lose a lot. But suddenly the shadow of Arez just flashed through his mind.

Be wife.

Don't be so confident, I need a woman to avoid matchmaking. Be my wife for one year, after which you are free to choose your life.

"Yes, Dad. And we've already planned the wedding." Answer it quickly. Actually Sabrina didn't have to lie to her Daddy. It's just that he's not ready to get married yet, what's more marrying an old man.

Did I just use that guy? He said the marriage was temporary. I also don't want to marry the old man Daddy meant. Huh, why is my fate so exactly like in the novels that I often read anyway? Sucks.

"Why didn't you ever tell me that, Sab?"

"Daddy ever ask? Daddy never wanted to know my life, did he? Never mind Dad, I'm sorry I couldn't help you. It's late here, I'm very sleepy. I love you, Dad." Slowly Sabrina kept the phone away from her ear.

"Wait, Sab."

Sabrina brought her phone back to her ear. "What's up, Dad?"

"Take care of yourself, I__I love you too. Tell Daddy if you're getting married, Daddy will try to come. Daddy hope you're always happy."

Sabrina fell silent, even her tears came back. For the first time, the father said his love. "I miss you, Dad."

"Miss you to Honey. Already there sleeping, I'll still send you monthly money."

"Thank you, Dad."

Tut! The connection was also cut. Sabrina dropped her phone on the bed. And then her crying broke. "I'm sorry, Dad."

After being satisfied with crying, Sabrina woke up from her position. Move closer to a portrait of a beautiful woman on the wall of her room. "Mom, what should I do now? Why is everything a coincidence like this?"

Yes, the woman in the portrait is Sabrina's late mother, Gebrina Elvara. The great woman who gave birth to Sabrina twenty years ago.

"Mom, do I take the offer of that jerk? He's very handsome, but he sucks. Isn't he better than the old man I don't recognize at all? Give me Mom's solution." Sabrina looked at the face of her late mother, a face very similar to her.

"Ck, I'm sleepy." The girl yawned. "After this I will not cry anymore. Huh, if you've heard Daddy's voice, my tears always fall. Is it because I miss him? Mom, did you love Daddy? If you love each other, why did Daddy marry someone else? I wanted to ask her that, Mom. But that's impossible, Daddy never wanted to talk at length when he met me." Sabrina breathed a heavy sigh.

"Mom, I know Daddy loves me. He said that, though his tone was a little doubtful. The proof is that he keeps giving me luxury facilities, this place, good food and good clothes. It's all Daddy's giving, Mom. My life is always guaranteed." For the umpteenth time the girl yawned.

"Good night, Mom." He said before closing his eyes. A few seconds later, the girl began to fall asleep.

"Cla." Greet Alexella when she sees Clara going to class. Clara and Alexella did attend the same college and same major.

Clara who felt called looked over. "Yes, Xella?" Clara with a friendly smile.

"Can we talk? Ah, I mean we'll talk after you finish class. I'll wait for you at the cafe ahead."

Clara was silent for a moment. "Okay, you just wait there, I'll catch up."

"Okay."

As promised, after finishing class Clara rushed to the cafe in front of the campus to meet Alexella.

"Hey, sorry to keep you waiting a long time." Sapa Clara sat in front of Alexella who was only blocked by the round table. There are also two drinks that Alexella accidentally ordered.

"Not a problem."

"What do you want to talk about?" Clara looked at Alexella curiously. Then pull the glass and drink it a little.

"It's my sister's problem" Alexella replied giving a serious look. Clara's forehead shriveled when she heard that.

"Yes? What's wrong with your brother?"

"Do you love her?"

The deg! Clara was stunned to hear the question. "Em... Why are you asking like that?"

"Jawab my question, do you love my brother?" Alexella.

Clara sighed and did not answer her immediately.

"Cla?"

"If I say yes? Will your brother agree? I don't think it's important we discuss this, Xella." Clara looked at Alexella. "I never expected of your brother, I know my position."

Alexella pulled Clara's hand, then clasped her tightly. "I've known you since I was a kid, I trust you. Fight for your love, because I will always support you. I won't let my brother fall into the arms of the wrong man."

Clara smiled bitterly. "Your brother never liked me, why am I fighting again? Let him choose his own path. I've already cancelled the match." Clara pulls her hand from Alexella's.

"I'll help you get her heart, Cla. I'll set a time for you to meet often. Right now my brother is running a big projeck, the launch of the latest sports car. I'll recruit you to be a brand ambassador. I hope you agree."

Clara fell silent, completely uninterested in Alexella's offer.

"Use the opportunity." Alexella looked at Clara expectantly.

"All right, I'll try." Clara's broken up that made Alexella breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank God, I'll slip your name in the models' names. You'll be the main model. My brother will meet in person."

Clara smiled faintly, then nodded slowly.

Hah, I hope you guys are being fooled. I don't want you to fall in love with the wrong person, sister. Let me help you this time.

After Clara's departure, Alexella was about to leave. But his movements are held back because he sees Jarvis entering the cafe with a beautiful and sexy woman.

Cih, you jerk guy. Alexella continued her intention to leave. And damn it, he had to go through the table where Jarvis was. But as he passed the table, his eyes met Jarvis's sharp eyes. Alexella was surprised and immediately cut off the pandanngan. The girl quickened her pace to leave the cafe.

"Baby, isn't that the last one who passed by the youngest daughter of the Digantara family? The famous arrogant and haughty. I don't think any man would dare approach her. I'm just afraid to see his cold face." Said the woman who was currently sitting in front of Jarvis.

"You're right, honey. No man would dare to approach her, or even touch her." Except me. Jarvis continues in his heart.

"Huh, I heard he's been betrothed. Too bad for that guy. Must have been the guy's gun was shrunken on his first night." Imbuh the woman who clearly does not like Alexella.

Goddamnit! You're telling me when I'm in front of you. What say? My gun went out on my first night with Xella? He always woke up even though he only saw that beautiful face. What else see the other part. Damn this woman. If I knew his mouth this bike I wouldn't have chosen it.

"Baby, we'll play in my apartment tonight, okay? I don't like the smell of hotels." Whine the woman while holding Jarvis' hand.

Cih, my taste for you disappeared after you said to me.

"Darling, I'm sorry. I don't think I'm spending the night with you. I forgot if there's a race tonight." Jarvis pulled his hand from the woman. Of course the woman was disappointed.

"Currently, just tell me you want to spend the night with another woman, right?" Upset the woman folded both her hands on her chest.

"Yes.m I mean no. I really need to follow the match. If you don't believe me, just come with me."

"No need, it's so boring in there."

Huh, even though I can make you a bet. It's also nice if I exchange it for a lambourghini. Thought Jarvis.

"Alright, next time I'll come to you. Now I'm so hungry, let's eat." Take Jarvis when they happen to have their order arrived. They both ate in silence.
