The End of Two Semesters

The End of Two Semesters
Chapter 8 – Santi's Decree


Santi did not expect, Arya who is only a driver can buy the latest output phone that Santi wants. Without bidding and without objection Arya immediately bought it. Slightly amazed to look at Arya who was talking to a cellphone seller in the middle of a shopping center in the city of Pekalongan. As familiar with the person, and the style of speech is also like not a driver. More elegant Aryan style of speech with people, and he seems to know very well about the world of engineering and the world of business.


Arya invites Santi to talk, but Santi is still stunned to look at the handsome face of Arya who deserves not a driver, but a handsome and cool CEO, who is, with a dress shirt that also seems to be an expensive and branded shirt.


“He's a real driver, isn't he? How come his appearance is neat, clean, polite, handsome anyway? Not like other drivers,” said Santi in his heart by continuing to look at Arya's face.


Arya until waving her hand in front of Santi's face, because Santi was spoken to not meyahuti but instead looked at Arya's face like that.


“Santi ... hey! Are you even daydreaming?” Arya was forced to pat Santi on the shoulder until Santi slipped.


“Ah Yes, maa—maaf, Ar. I daydreamed,” she replied nervously with a red face blushing as Arya looked at her with a beautiful gaze. Yes, her beautiful eyes managed to hypnotize Santi instantly.


“Why are you, Santi? See me again? How's this? So this phone?” Arya asked a little awkwardly as well because Santi was looking at her like that.


“Eng—nothing anyway? Yes I want that one,” replied Santi.


“OK, this one, Mas.” Arya spent cash to pay for the phone that Santi chose.


Santi still does not believe that Arya, who is said to be a driver, can spend that much money to buy the latest phone output that he wants.


“This is a driver or what the hell? Can you get out that much money? Did you also rent out a house for my place of residence? Time a driver money a lot?” Santi said in his heart, he was confused about who Arya was.


But, he quickly brushed off his curiosity on Arya. Santi even thought about what Arya proposed before he bought a cellphone. The marriage of two semestrers that Arya proposed, just so that the baby in the womb is not born without a father.


“Married to him? I just don't know who he is? How's origin? But, I do need for this child to be born there is a father. But, not him! Fano should have married me, not him or any other man!” Santi's heart is increasingly rebellious, wanting him to reject Arya, but later Arya must tell his hiding to his parents, especially his father who had wanted him to marry rather than make a disgrace to his family.


His father was very authoritarian to him. He knew that he was his only child, but not as authoritarian as it should be with Santi. It was like there was no room to move. Absolutely can not, even when he was in college in America alone he had to be escorted by a bodyguard to watch the movements of Santi while away from his mother's father. But Santi chose to study abroad because he wanted to be free, free to hang out with male friends there, or with female peers.


But, much to Hermawan's pity, he could miss his daughter impregnated by a young man whose origins are not clear, who only attach importance to freedom and the night world. The owner of a nightclub and a Disk Jockey who loves the world of freedom. Fano's messy family also makes Hermawan do not want Santi married by Fano. And, fortunately, Fano did not want to be responsible for the reason that he still wanted to be free, not want to be tied to marriage.


Santi has always not lost his mind to get out, enjoy the night world. His father is also increasingly upset with Santi who over time began to challenge him, especially Santi has proven to himself that he can successfully raise his boutique, and the beauty salon he has. In addition to being a model and advertising star Santi also has some special boutiques batik and some beauty salons. Since then Hermawan trusts Santi that he is now an adult and can take care of himself, but it turns out that it is wrong. Santi has been plunged into the night world since meeting Fano.


“Why melamuin, Santi? Have you been daydreaming all over? Yuk go home, this phone is finished, it can be used,” said Arya by giving a paper bag containing the latest and most expensive mobile phones in the store.


“No, that's a phone for you.” Santi immediately shakes off leaving Arya.


Arya runs after Santi. Arya believes Santi is thinking about her invitation to get married, but if Santi does not want Arya will not force her. But, Arya still has to notify Santi's family in Jakarta.


“Santi ... Santi ... wait! Don't run around like this, Santi? You are pregnant why run gini anyway?! No love your son!” Arya grabbed Santi's hand, but Santi immediately brushed it off.


“I want to go home!” santi said in a harsh tone.


“Where to go? Jakarta? Come on, am I happy to take you? Thank you if you want to go home,” said Arya.


“Yes to contract! Time to Jakarta, I don't want to deal with the house people anymore! I've been able to determine how my life is going forward, I don't want papa to continue interfering with my life!” said Santi with a pushy look at Arya.


“Why did you suddenly come here, Santi? I'm going home!” Arya takes Santi by the hand and takes him to the car.


Santi does not know why he feels that he is very troublesome Arya. All of Arya who took her life as long as she ran away, and there's no way she'll let Arya continue to bear her life as long as she runs away? If he comes home, will he go back to the lion's den again?


“He's made my life difficult, Ar! There is no point in this child being born, being my only burden! If I'm not pregnant, maybe my advertising contract will be extended by the company, but since there's her in my stomach, it's all gone, Ar. I lost my job, and I lost the father of this child who did not want to be responsible,” said Santi with a sad look.


Santi's pregnancy has been known to many people. Everyone knows Santi is pregnant out of wedlock, and therefore her career in the modeling world is in danger of being destroyed. Not only threatened again, now it is completely destroyed, and all that because his papa leaked to the Agency as well as the company where Santi worked.


From the beginning Santi pursued the world of modeling, his father had not approved of him, but Santi remained insistent with his papa, not wanting to leave the world of modeling which from childhood had become his dream. His father loved Santi very much, and because she was his only daughter, eventually his father allowed Santi to follow in his mother's footsteps first, becoming a model. Although Hermawan really hate that profession.


Although he hated his son's profession, but Hermawan wanted to see his son happy, whatever Santi wanted him to do, but conditional. Yes, all conditional! The condition is that she wants every fashion show, or there is a photo shoot must be accompanied by her or if she is busy Hermawan told two bodyguards to escort Santi wherever she goes. During her career in modeling, Santi was not so free, until when she asked her papa for permission if she wanted to pursue a boutique and beauty salon business, Hermawan little by little gives space for Santi to step on his own. However, when he has a shooting schedule, Santi is still escorted by his bodyguard or papa. His father who is concurrently the manager of Santi, he who arranged how Santi while undergoing his work as a model.


“Santi, don't blame this innocent child. You can't be like that. Now you think about how to get this child to be born safe and healthy. You have to think about your child's future from now on, don't think about anything else but that,” said Arya.


“I don't know, Ar. I am confused, here now I run away, just because I avoid the wedding, continue here I do not know what will be like in the future? All my money, all my savings I live there. This is all I bring, which is without the concern of papa and mama. This card I have without the knowledge of papa and mama, and this may not be enough for my living expenses until I give birth and raise my own child? Try if he's not in my womb? Everything will be fine, I am still enjoying my life, enjoying the days with Fano, and with my friends,” Santi lamented.


“If it's a cost of living problem, why think about it? I'll help you find work, I told you too, if I'm going to be responsible for your escape here, I'll be responsible, Santi ..” Arya's words were convincing.


“But, Ar? It's the same if you ask me to marry you, like I married papa dong?” said Santi.


“Dong difference, Santi? That man paid your papa? I am here, I will take full responsibility with you, I will bear all your living expenses while here, or I will take you home?”


“You gave a choice or threatened anyway, Ar?!” santi asked in annoyance.


“Yes, is it up to you to assume I'm giving you a threat or a choice?” arya replied casually.


“Nyebelin you!” santi Tukas.


“Where? If you want to marry me, tomorrow I look for info to KUA, after that, everything will be fine, you marry me, stay here, stay here, everyone will never know you're here, especially your extended family and your parents. How?”


“But, Ar?”


“But what? Don't you believe I'll take all your life? Is it because I'm a driver? So you doubt me?” ask Arya.


“I don't want to bother you, Ar? I know how much a driver pays? You can't possibly bear all the expenses of my life and my son?” said Santi.


“I have enough savings, I can bear it all until your son grows up, and is ready for you to raise yourself. Later I will help you find a job here, so you are not saturated when I am in Jakarta,” said Arya.


Santi kept thinking about what Arya was asking for. Being Aryan's wife, whose origins have not been in Santi's eyes. If he is not married, surely the end Arya actually returns him to Jakarta, and he will instead be married to an om-om who he said only targets his papa property only.


“Ar, okay it's my decision. I follow your advice, I want to marry you, but there must be black on white. Agreement after marriage, and our marriage is only one year. Please find me a job after I marry you,” said Santi.


“You sure? If you are sure, after marriage I will find you a job, so you are not saturated. I'll give you a job, you're a fashion designer, right?” ask Arya.


“Yes, I was a college designer, special fashion designer before I went to college in America,” replied Santi.


“Let me find a suitable job. We take care of our wedding preparations, we are getting married in a week,” Arya said.


Santi nodded, finally Santi decided to marry Arya with a marriage agreement that only lasted two semesters.
