Trapped Loving Mysterious Girls
CHAPTER 5 - BEST FRIENDS

Sinta just kept quiet to hear my words. I don't know what he's thinking. And what about Helen? Is he still there?

I walked towards the window. But Helen was no longer there. Even though I knew where he was going, I wasn't sure if I could still meet him. I don't want to scare her anymore.

"You seriously said that?" Sinta started to respond to my words.

"of course. If you're forced to marry someone you don't like, do you want to?"

"If the guy's like you, I'd want to." God.

"Don't let your fiancee hear what you said!"

Sinta likes to talk.

"Haha... Let him hear it. My fiance is not a romantic like you."

"You think I'm a romantic? I am nothing more than a single person."

"Haha... Is that so? Then hopefully your marriage can end your bachelor period." said Sinta.

"Do we really have to continue this marriage agreement?"

"It's up to you guys. Because I've sent the letter to KUA and you can have the wedding in 3 days."

"Even so, Helen probably won't do it." I wrote.

"So you gave up just because Helen avoided you?" tanya Sinta makes me flinch.

"Not all love stories have to start from falling in love and getting married. Some people get married first and fall in love. The most important thing now is whether you can bring your relationship into love or not. Either it's both or one of them."

Every word that Sinta spoke made me realize that I was always weak when it came to dealing with Helen. I have always been strong, courageous and confident. But in front of Helen, all that was lost.

Helen was like the most impenetrable wall. It is full of traps and ruse but inside it is the most precious treasure in the world.

Now I get it...

Helen covered herself from the world so that no one could approach her. Even if there is he will depend on her as much as Sinta.

It means if I can make her fall in love then Helen could be mine. And my desire to have a wife could come true.

"I'll do it."

"What?" Sinta's confused.

"I'll make her Helen fall in love with me!" I said with passion.

"Are you stupid?" I was surprised by Sinta's response. I thought he'd be impressed by my seriousness.

"You can do that later which is important now how Helen wants to marry you!" firmly Sinta.

"Oh yes, too. I have to how?"

"Why ask me?"

"Of course it's because you've been deeply involved in our relationship so you have to come think about it."

I'm not gonna let you get away with it after setting us up.

"When I've helped you now you want to blackmail me?"

"Then I'll tell your fiance that you're secretly dating me. It's easy to know your fiancee, just so you know." I insisted.

"AA! ALL RIGHTY! I'll help you convince Helen to marry you. That's all."

"alright. Thank you for helping me, Sinta. Helen must be so happy to have a friend like you."

"What'sthis? Why suddenly praise me like that? Are you in love with me? Do you want me to marry you too?" Sinta kepedean.

"I'm taking my words back."

"EVIL!!" snarled Sinta in her phone.

"But I'm really grateful. If it wasn't for your help I couldn't be this close to Helen."

"You know how else. Your own fault loves a freak like Helen when many girls are prettier and easier to handle than her."

"It's precisely because I'm weird too, that's why Helen is a good fit, right?"

"Then, as her friend I leave my responsibility to you, Stevan~" Sinta said softly.

I just realized lately Sinta has not called me sister. He already thinks of me as his peers.

Although Sinta always badmouthing Helen but since the beginning Sinta always brought us closer. He said he hated her but he really loved Helen. I'm grateful that Sinta was Helen's friend.

*******

The next day, I picked Helen up at her house to testify. Without taking a long time, Helen came out of her house still with the same dress code as well as her flagship hoodie even though her clothes were different from yesterday.

Even though a lot of things happened yesterday and he was hiding from me, he still wanted to testify. Was it because Sinta managed to persuade him?

Helen entered the car I had opened. He was sitting right next to me. We look like husband and wife.

NAY! WE ARE LIKE A MARRIED MAN FIGHTING! The atmosphere is very quiet. None of us talk except the engine hum of my car and the passing vehicle.

Even if I want to talk, I don't know what to say.

How to talk to a woman who ran away from her future husband?

Waitaminute! Why do I feel like I made a mistake 2 times?

Even though the kiss was purely my fault, the deal wasn't my fault, was it? It was Sinta's fault because she changed the contents.

But want whoever is wrong these two events are equally beneficial to me. So I'M THE WRONG ONE!!

Oh my....

How should I respond to this love story you have made?

On the other hand I am happy but on the other hand I am depressed. Nah! I can't think badly.

Remember Stevan!

God showed Helen to me, the girl I wanted the most in the world God showed me. Helen is beautiful, cute, calm, mysterious, does not like to show off, even though I am not sure she is good at cooking or not. But it's a fortune I can find a girl that suits me. I CAN'T COMPLAIN!

We arrived at the office soon. Along the way I was carried away by all the fantasies in my brain. So you could say we didn't talk at all. At first glance, I saw Helen just looking out the window. We walked into the office, Teddy was waiting for us inside.

"Good morning boss! Boss has come with Miss Helen too." welcome Teddy from his seat. I did tell Teddy that I was going to pick up Helen on the way.

Helen looked down a little salute to Teddy. Teddy also replied.

"Well Teddy, Ma'am Helen will help you this time. He'll show you where it happened so you can look for any possible CCTV footage of the culprit."

"Helen, this time you will follow Teddy's direction from now on."

Helen just nodded. But his aura was terrified.

"Look, Teddy is married even his 2nd son so calm down."

"Boss, he's not afraid of me but of you." Teddy said.

"WHISPER, TEDDY!!" I snapped at Teddy. Helen was surprised to see my side. It's also true that Helen has never seen me angry.

TING TUNG'S! Someone rang our office bell. I opened the door. A man who is not young but not too old. The body's bloated but not as big as Teddy's. He was wearing a big suit that covered most of his clothes but I could see the uniform behind it. And her face is so familiar to me, a face that has always accompanied me for the last 10 years.

"Halo Stevan my son!" said it.

"Ready, Big Boss!" I said salute to the man. The man paid my respects. After that the Big Boss gawked into our office.

"I haven't been to your private office in a long time. As usual, you two are here, and there's a girl?" The big boss was surprised to see Helen here. Teddy saluted like me and Helen saluted in his own way.

"Who is he, Stevan?" tanyakanya.

"He was a witness to a counterfeit money case yesterday" I replied.

"Oh so yeah. I think she's the wife you want to introduce me to."

We were speechless hearing the Great Boss' words while he laughed out loud. If only the Big Boss knew she was indeed my future wife for the next 3 days. But telling him now won't help. The old man sucks when he judges girls.

"What do you need to come here?" my many.

"Oh, there's something I want to ask you. Can we talk alone?" tanyakanya.

"Alright, we're talking in the private room there." I brought the Big Boss into the room.

Inside the room, the Boss immediately sat down seriously. I sat in front of him with a serious face. Is this about the case again?

"So, Stevan. There's something I want to ask you." he said. I swallowed my saliva.

"... As you know, there's a case we haven't solved yet. So I gathered information that might help you finish" she said, giving me a chocolate map. Why do I often face chocolate maps?

I gulped down my own saliva while staring at the map that Big Boss gave me. What is the case that has not been solved until now? Is it very dangerous?

I slowly opened the map and took out the contents. Dozens or even hundreds of photos of women fell from the map. I'm dumbfounded.

"What is this, boss? What case does the Boss mean?" many confused.

"OF COURSE IT'S THE CASE WHEN YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED, MY SON!!!" I jerked.

"OF ALL THE SENIOR POLICE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO'S NOT MARRIED. IF YOU KEEP DELAYING IT, THEY'LL CATCH YOU!" he beat his desk many times.

"NEWS ABOUT YOU WHO ARE STILL SINGLE HAVE SPREAD IN THE HEADQUARTERS. THEY'RE EVEN GETTING READY TO CATCH YOU ON YOUR BIRTHDAY. IF THEY FIND OUT MY SON IS BEING ARRESTED FOR BEING SINGLE, PUT HIM WHERE MY FACE IS!!!"

"Wait.. Big boss!" I tried to calm him down.

"Stevens! here I stand as your father! So from now on quickly select one of all these photos! I'll match you with him!" axed it.

"If you still want to evade, I'll fire you from the police!"

"WAIT!! LISTEN TO ME FIRST!" my yelling.

Finally the big boss aka my adoptive father quietly listened.

After my parents left, I lived a long time until Dad adopted me. He lived alone after the divorce of his wife. His love life became very messy. He used the title of Chief of Police to marry many women but none of them he introduced me to.

"As I said from the beginning, I'll find my own future wife. Dad helped me a lot when I was a kid so this time I'm going to do it myself. I will definitely bring you a girl who is much better than the girl you chose. I won't let you down!" I'm firm.

Dad was silent to hear my sincerity. Even though he was upset, he still obeyed my wishes.

"Are you sure your candidate will be better than the candidate I chose?"

"READY SURE!"

"BEAUTIFUL THAN MY CHOICE?"

"READY! DEFINITELY!"

"alright. This is your last chance. If when I come here, you're not married. I'll fire you and set you up! Understood!"

"Ready!" firmly answer.

Our conversation is over. We're out of the room. I was surprised to see Helen sitting outside the room that my father and I went into. Did he not hear our conversation?

"Oh, this is Mbak. Done already?" ask Dad.

"Yes." replied Helen softly as she nodded.

Dad immediately left us. As usual, he was not interested in a woman who looked ordinary.

"So.... Done already?" ask me a stale base.

Helen nodded.

"Did you hear that conversation inside?" ask again.

Helen nodded again. Conversation finished. I don't know what to say anymore.

Cool out! Don't surrender! I'm just gonna marry him. So I have to conquer it.

"Anu.." I doubt it. Helen stared.

"With Teddy is busy. Can I talk to you for a second?" my many.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer in a whisper.

Like a fast-paced train, or fishermen who managed to catch Tuna fish after spending a lot of energy and sweat. My heart skipped a beat, my body instantly hot.

He whispered, but the temptation was heavy. Why do you have to whisper? I think my heart is going out.

"W-in that case, how about a chat at the Cafe?"

Maybe he's not comfortable if there's Teddy here. I better get him to talk outside.

"No need to get out. We'll talk inside both." whispered again.

Like an arrow of love shot right through my heart. The word "second" he said echoed in my ear like a beautiful piece of music. My heart melted in front of Helen.

"alright. We just go inside." I let him in.

We also sat facing. I noticed every shirt and attribute he wore. Though most of her body is covered hoodie that is too big for her to wear but she even looks sexy.

My soul screams...

"It's about the marriage covenant we signed. Sinta said that we will get married in 3 days. So I'd like to confer with you how to get ahead of him."

"I happen to want to talk about that, too..." Helen said.

Thankfully, I hope Sinta manages to convince her.

"Actually I've handled it." she replied briefly.

"Winning how?" many confused.

"Actually tomorrow I have to go back to my hometown. I'll get married there."
