The Successor's Wife of the President
Arumi's best friend

Arum sat at the cashier table, looking at his phone and the business card placed parallel to the phone.

Thinking and thinking, where can he get such nominal money if he does not humble and accept the offer to marry?

But, if you think about it. The number of one million is actually not a high nominal money. Instead, he should be able to get it without the need to give up on the foreign men.

"I can't do it." Arum shook his head quickly, his hands massaging his throbbing forehead. Why is he in such a difficult position? Only a million why is it so hard to get it. While he was only paid twenty thousand rupiah every day by Mama Linda. "Truly I'm really sorry, why haven't I run away before.at least I can work for a better salary."

Arum dropped his head on the cashier's desk, lamenting his weakness that had fed him to himself. Before long the glass door opened. Arum hurried to sit in an upright position.

"Welcome.. oh, Denna?" Her lips smiled happily when she saw her high school friend already standing in front of her. But something is strange. The girl looks so messy. "Denna, what's going on?"

"Arum, hiks!" The girl walked around whining as Arum got up from his chair and walked out of the counter.

"You why?" Hugging Denna's body.

"I had to deceive that delinquent..."

"You mean?"

"My money, Rum.. hiks!"

"Why is your money?"

"My lost money was taken away by him, huaaaaaaa..." Denna's body slumped down in a position still hugging Arum's body. "I want to die, I want to die...! Let's kill me now, Arumi, before I get slaughtered by my mom at home... Huhuhuhuhu..."

"Geez, Denna!" Arum hit one hard on his shoulder, "apparently you're really, so, handing over your mom's savings for an investment?"

The girl was a beard. "You see how else, Yayan's remarks were really convincing. You ever see it for yourself, he changes cars every time he dates me? Surely anyone would have guessed, that his investment business was successful."

"Yes but that doesn't mean you just have to believe! How much did you give up?"

"I borrowed my mother's money of fifty million."

"Huh!!!" Arumi. "That much? How are you, anyway?"

"That's why I didn't dare go home today, I don't know how to say this to my mother. Oh... Maybe I should do my ninja thing, to get the money back."

"What ninja action?"

"Tempting a Sugar Daddy, then pranking his money."

"Hey...!" Arum hit again the shoulder of the girl who was still hugging his leg. "You really want to die, huh?"

"I deserve to die, so kill me. Just kill me, Arumi..."

Arumi sighed, as her friend's crying voice grew louder. It was fortunate that the convenience store was in a quiet state so he could calm his friend down for a moment.

A few minutes later...

"Drink, huh?"

"You're just giving me mineral water?"

"Why really? Are you hoping I'll give you a soft drink and a snack?" asked Arum, Denna was grinning. "I can't give you that drink for free. Whatever I eat and drink has to be paid for. And I can only afford two bottles of this mineral water. So just accept what's on."

Denna grunting. "Yes, thank you."

Arum nodded, then threw his ass to the floor. Sitting next to Denna.

"How was your college?"

"Currently, I've been lazy lately. Understandings have begun to give up after submitting the final title for my thesis."

"Revision–"

"Oh my goodness, how many titles have you submitted to your guidance counselor?"

"That's countless. The last one he threw a thick book at my face. Maybe it's all unattractive to that old man."

"What title did you give me?"

"They are poetic, and unique..."

"Example?"

"Ahool of love." she answered proudly, expanding her smile.

"God! You're an Erkeology student. Do you give your thesis title like your fantasy novel title? If I were your teacher, there wouldn't be only books. But the chair I sat in at once."

"Iiissshhh. I think it's cool. If my teachers turned out to be lovers of fantasy. Maybe they were interested and asked me to find out the mythological creature of Indonesia. It was a time, right? In this world there is indeed. then as in the drama, where the strange creature turned out to be handsome and have special abilities. Ohhhh....!" Denna pressed her chest, imagining the face of the ginseng Country man in their Fantasy story.

"You're not imagining kissing that country thing, are you?" Arum solves Denna's brief delusion.

"Aaaahh.. You're ruining, my shame!"

"Stop it!" Henk Arum. "You didn't change, did you? Still messing with your education. You're gonna have to pass Denna– soon"

The girl sighed. "I hate high school, Arum. I want to be a successful Fantasy writer like J. K. anyway. Rowlings."

"Ckckck. Your life is already good, you should be able to be a little obedient and diligent child while at school."

Denna smiled, so she dipped the water in her bottle. Then look at the girl next door.

"Forgot my problem. By the way, what about you?"

"Me?"

"Yes, is everything okay?"

Arum pensively, then shook his head slowly. "What's getting worse. I'm just wondering how to pay for the extension of my parents' burial ground."

"Well, isn't it always paid for by the fox lady?"

"He has not paid for more than a year. Land rent is paid once every three years."

"Truly they are shameless demons." Denna. "Why in the first place, do you still want to stay in that house?"

"Where are you going too? I don't have a place to escape..."

"You can go to my house."

"I've troubled you and your family enough."

"You always think that way. We never feel troubled. Later, I'll borrow it from Mom. Only time he's still gonna lend me the money, if you use your name on love."

Arum shook his head quickly. "Don't! I owe a lot to your mother. Several times when Mama Linda did not give my SPP arrears who paid even your mother. That's not all I can change."

"Hey– my mother never questioned that. He said he was sincere to you."

"No Denna, let me think things through myself. There's gotta be a way out, okay." Even if you have to marry a foreigner... Arum continued his words in the heart. Denna's smooth hand landed on Arum's shoulder, then patted him softly.

"Arum, I want you to be happy one day. I'm always praying, you can pick up your happiness."

"Aamiin..." Denna's words made Arum moved. He hugged his friend's body with a more calm heart.

Yes, God is fair. When we are surrounded by bad people in life. Surely there will be some others who sincerely become our comfort angels. Although it does not affect much. At least, able to be a solace of the heart.
