"Pretentious marriage, what kind of marriage is this." Naya groaned inwardly at Lio's words, "It's not that marriage is worship, it's not for pretending and being played like this, it's not for, how will I be responsible for this supposed sacred marriage before God later." Naya's mind churned.
"After a year, let's divorce Nay." continued Lio easily said the sentence.
"But grandpa...."
"Akhh yes grandfather's problem, we think about it later Nay."
"Hmm."
"You take it easy, Nay, as long as we are together, I will meet all your needs and will obey whatever you want, including if you want to buy luxury goods or if you want a car I'll buy." his promise to keep Naya entertained because he saw Naya's face looked gloomy after he conveyed his intention to live out their marriage for one year.
Lio thought, by promising luxury and property could make Naya entertained, clearly here Lio was wrong, because Naya was very different from most women, Naya did not want luxury goods or property, "But I don't need anything mas, can I just ask for love from you." a sentence that is only spoken bitterly in the heart.
"You're free to be in a relationship with whoever Nay is, I'm not going to ban you, I'm not going to interfere in your personal affairs, and neither are you, on the contrary, to not interfere in my personal affairs." Lio explained this clearly as if he was talking about business cooperation.
Naya sighs resignedly, she can what if Lio does not love her and plans to part with her after one year of marriage and undergo this marriage for one year only. "Well if that's what Lio wants, we're together for a year and we're apart." he said in the end, according to Lio's wishes, the last sentence was heavy as his tongue said the sentence.
Lio smiled at Naya's reply, "Thank you Naya."
Naya smiled blandly in response to the thanks from Lio, the thanks were out of place Naya thought.

Rafa was getting ready to go home when the phone lying at his desk rang.
Lio who was cleaning his desk glanced at a glance, on the screen the name of Leta's sister.
Lio shifted the phone symbol and activated the speaker while she was still doing her activities cleaning up her messy workbench.
"Why Leta."
"My brother...."
"You ask for the pocket money." he immediately cut off his sister's words, "Yes yes, later you transfer to your account, you are not very impatient when it comes to money matters, though this is just the first date." it's not wrong Rafa thinks that his sister called him to ask for money, because usually his sister likes to call if she knows he's paid.
"Ihhh Rafa's brother, play cut it, let's call Leta not to ask for money." kind of offended as well as like Leta.
"Not to ask for money."
"Not brother, I think this beautiful sister called sister just asking for money."
"Ohhh tumben, there's a need to call brother."
"Brother was told to go home it's the same as mom."
Hearing the name of his mother is called to make Rafa involuntarily sigh, the article his mother must ask whether he already has a girlfriend or not, "Same mama, sister can not go home, sister is busy a lot of work."
"Work, you are yes Rafa, in your brain only work and work only, have a lot of money is also free if you do not have a companion." that's the voice of his mother who took over Leta's phone.
"Mama."
"Yes this is Rafa's mom, anyway mama doesn't want to know, you have to go home now point."
"Can't be mama, Rafa will be home Lio to visit his sick wife." the reason for avoiding the orders of the mama, indeed Rafa intends to visit Naya sieh, but not today, but tomorrow.
"Mbak Naya is sick, when, when, when last night Mbak Naya is fine." now it's Leta's turn to speak, it looks like she snatched the cell phone from the mother.
"So, maybe this morning, because Lio left an important meeting with a business partner of the company."
The sound of his mother nagging Leta from across the street, "You're Leta, it's not polite to be a child, the parents talk you play just grab it."
"Yes sorry ma."
The phone changed hands again, "Yes you came home a little Rafa, after that then you visited his wife Adelio, because there is something you want to talk to you."
"Talk over the phone, ma." Rafa tried to negotiate.
"It can't be talked about by Rafa's phone, you have to hear it in person, it's important."
"Akhh mama, if you have the will the nature of the forcing likes to come out." complained Rafa hissing.
"Yes Rafa, Mama wait."
"Hmm."
"Don't hmm hmm hmm just you, hmm hmm but don't go home." said the mother.
"Yes mama, Rafa's coming home, my God, this mama is a forced man."
"Nahh it's a filial son, according to the parents' orders."
Rafa just shook his head with his mother's behavior.
"Hmm."
"Naya will come and visit Mbak Leta with sister later."
Actually tomorrow, but since he said so, yes it is now only after meeting his mother, "Yes" he replied indifferently, "Yes yes Leta, yes Leta, brother's ready to go home."
"Yes, brother, bye."

Her mother immediately came out upon hearing the sound of her eldest son's car, her lips smiling broadly as soon as she saw the handsome son coming out of the car.
"Akhh mama, so much enthusiasm until nyamperin out everything." sigh Rafa saw his mother in front.
Since the last two years the feeling has always been bad when he saw the woman who gave birth to him smiling like that, if his mother's smile was that wide, surely his mother would ask, "How, how, when you're getting married, you've got a candidate." question that always thrown by his mother when he came home, no wonder Rafa so lazy to go home to his parents.
Rafa had already opened his lips to greet his mother, but his mother preceded, "Mommy's son, you finally came home too, mama kangen knows." her mother hugged the child who had always been her pride, but not a pride lately because Rafa always ngeles when his mother asked about women.
Rafa's feelings are getting unpleasant seeing his mother's excessive attitude like this.
Lio's arm was pulled into his family's house, "Look in. Come on in."
Lio obediently followed the mother.
His mother took him to the living room, a room that was often used by his family to relax, there was already his papa sitting sweetly with a newspaper in his hand.
"Have come ye" said the old man glanced briefly at his son's arrival before returning to read his newspaper, as if the news in the newspaper were more important than the return of his only son.
"Yes pa."
"Sit down son." orders his mother.
Rafa recalls, preparing to wait for what his mother will talk about, and usually his father just be a good listener.
"You're definitely not getting Rafa's girlfriend yet." Shoot her mama straight away without further ado.
Rafa is actually lazy to answer, but because this is his mother, so he can't possibly ignore it, "Not ma, Rafa is busy working on it." honestly.
Sik mama smiled widely, "Mama already has a candidate for you, please bring me."
"Hmmm." replied the father did not divert the slightest attention from the newspaper he was reading.
"Hahhh." startled donk Rafa, "Calon means ma." a bit panicked also sieh he heard the word candidate from the lips of his mother, he did not want to be betrothed like his best friend Lio.
"Yes mama has found you a woman who fits your criteria, she's her son Jenk Sari, you remember, that's mama arisan's friend."
"Gak inget ma." replied Rafa did not remember and did not want to bother to remember as well.
"It doesn't matter if you remember it or not, obviously, Jenk Sari had a child who
cuaaantik pool, his name is Arin." his mother to give two thumbs up everything to describe the girl his mother will introduce to him, "His daughter is tall, white, office workers like you, anyway you must like deh." his mother eagerly described the woman he would introduce to the child with enthusiasm.
"This is not a matchmaking ma." Rafa voiced out what he was afraid of.
"Yes no, no age is like that."
"Thank God, my mama is not dull." he muttered without a sound.
"Nahh Rafa, here's the number, take her out to dinner, so you can get to know each other, and hopefully you fit in and move on, and I'm sure you're a good fit."
Lio took a paper containing the number of women sought by the mother with ogah, inwardly promised not to contact the girl no matter how beautiful, no matter how beautiful, let him agree to whatever his mother says just to make the business quickly finished.
There was the sound of footsteps walking towards the middle room, and soon Leta appeared.
"So our sister's gone, Leta's ready."
Rafa stood up, indirectly Leta saved him, because if long enough with his mother, maybe his mother kept talking about the woman named Arin.
"You're going to see Lio's wife."
"Yes ma."
"Send your greetings to Handoko's grandfather and family."
"Yes ma."
"Then we'll say goodbye."
