The Lord's Concubine
Zhafarra Maidha

"What! Mr Hendrik is dead?" pekik Nurmala when one of his friends told him about Mr Hendrik's death by phone.

"Don't joke you! You must be the fault of this man" Nurmala continued.

"Oh my goodness, Mala! The news has gone viral on social media, try to check. Right or not? Mr. Hendrik was killed in a car accident while he was on his way to the Hospital."

"Yes, God .. so that's true? That means my nephew really failed to get married. Lucky that hundred million money is already in my hands, so I can still enjoy it" Nurmala said with a sly grin.

"Hhhh, we're tired of it! Uh, you know what? Yesterday Mr. Hendrik died simultaneously with his wife. According to rumors, Mr. Hendrik's wife died of a heart attack. She was shocked to hear that her husband was getting married again. Where with the young leaves anyway!" the woman continued from across the phone.

"really? Wow, nice donk!" nurmala replied with a laugh.

"Be happy for the suffering of this man of yours, Mala!"

"Let's go, I don't care. What matters now is that I'm happy. I have a lot of money and I can use it to connect and party!" nurmala.

"Yes, already. I just wanted to tell you that news. But ... don't forget our treat, ok!"

"Ok, ok, alright!"

Nurmala decided on the call and continued her lunch. The woman was busy enjoying lunch with a variety of good food that he had just bought using Mr. Hendrik's dowry. The food is neatly arranged on the dining table and just eat.

Aksa Dwi Anggara, 5 years old. Farra's younger brother, had noticed that Nurmala was biting the fried chicken that was so tempting. Several times the little boy swallowed his saliva with both eyes still fixed on the fried chicken.

For Farra and Aksa, the food was very luxurious for them. Only when there is a celebration event can they enjoy such a sumptuous dish.

"Do you look around?" ketus Nurmala to Aksa.

Aksa was terrified when Nurmala said that. He immediately ran over to Farra who was washing dirty dishes. Seeing her sister running up to her, Farra immediately washed her hands and welcomed the little boy.

"Sister Farra, later if we have a lot of money, we buy fried chicken like that, huh?" whispered Aksa beside Farra's ear.

Farra's eyes glazed over. His chest felt tight when his sister said that. However, Farra would not show her sorrow to Aksa. Farra showed a smile even though her heart was crying at the time.

"Yeeee! Fried chicken," said Aksa cheerfully while kissing Farra's face.

"Heh, Farra! Do you know, Mr. Hendrik last night had a terrible accident and he breathed his last from the accident" Nurmala said without looking at the girl.

"really?" Farra was surprised to hear that.

"Yes! Now your luck is shit again, Farra. The opportunity to marry a man like Mr. Hendrik did not come twice. And after this, at most you will marry a pedicabeer, a construction worker, just like any other girl in this village. How pathetic!" hardik Nurmala continued to chew his food.

Farra was not sad because she failed to marry the rich man. However, he was sad because he did not expect that last night was his last day to meet the man.

"Age is unpredictable. Let's hope Mr. Hendrik is calm there" Farra murmured.

"Yes, just like your unpredictable misfortune!" answer Nurmala ketus.

Next day.

"How, Van? Did you get any information about that damn woman?" the King asked his Assistant, Ivan.

"Yes, sir."

Ivan took out a large brown envelope containing information about Farra's personal data. Ivan handed it to the King and let the man open the envelope.

After the envelope was opened, King grabbed a piece of file and read it carefully. The cold man smirked and Ivan knew that the man had bad intentions for the orphan girl.

"Zhafarra Maidha, nice name. She's beautiful too, I deserve my dad to be crazy about her. But I'm sure this woman is nothing more than a nether who only wants my father's wealth. Let's see, Zhafarra Maidha. I will make you fall into my grasp and bow to all my commands!" his grin while looking at the beautiful face of Farra from a piece of photo that he got from his Assistant.

Ivan's face looked anxious when he saw the King's sly grin. He knew how cold the man was, cruel and heartless. The king also has a vengeful nature. He does not care whether it is a man or a woman, if it has dared to make his heart pinched, then be prepared to get a reply ten times what he feels.
