Marry The Heir
Transaction obligations
“HAHAHAHAHA...” the sound of laughter is heard from Marcel's workspace. Laughter is loud but does not water that the owner is happy.
In front of him was an online news article he was reading. Not only that, he also saw some short video footage that recorded epic events at a fundraising event a while ago. Gossip is indeed so fast spread, faster than mushrooms that grow in the rainy season.
Unfortunately, it was only a few moments when the laughter was airing until suddenly, “BRAK!!”
Marcel throws an ipad in his hand until it breaks on the floor. He stood firm with his eyes barking out his anger. His hands were still firmly clenched with a cold face that grinned at the circus.
“DAMN!!” grunt it rough. He hit the table in front of him to channel his anger. The plan that he had arranged so nicely in fact fell apart. He cannot accept it and probably will not accept it.
“I'm sorry sir.” Farid's voice sounded listless looking at the anger of his master. He never thought that the first step that went smoothly would end up turning ironic for them.
A few moments ago a reporter called him and reported that the gossip he spread had been drowned by a haru story between brothers who were embracing. Their gossip is trending 1 in various online news and apparently people prefer to share the news that impressed dramatic was compared to reading the gossip they made. In addition to their very interesting visuals, making many netizens who fell in love with the two beautiful levels that are being discussed, Kean and Shafira.
“Stupid! How can this incident even make their relationship improve. How can it be hah?!” marcel shouted right in front of Farid. Farid simply fell silent without daring to raise his face. He knew that their efforts had failed. His attempt to bring down Sigit's reputation, could never have materialized.
Marcel took Arini home to make his plans. He bravely sacrificed the Hardjoyo surname by opening up the household problems of the older brother. But in fact, the boomerang he threw even attacked him. Everything was falling apart and he could only mourn his failure.
And now, Sigit was waiting for his arrival to explain what he had done.
“BRENG SEK! BRENG SEKK!!” Marcel's screams echoed back in his room and that was all he could do.
In his head began to recall the photos scattered in the online media. Shafira hugs Kean, while next to her niece is a girl she knows very well.
With his explosive emotions, he re-thought of a plan. He tried to pull the red thread from the failures he faced.
“HAHAHAHAHA.. HAHAHAHHA..” in the near future Marcel laughed again. I don't know what's on his mind right now. Clearly, he had a new plan to make things even more messy.
Fasting, he thought. One sentence of command he had prepared for Farid.

Shafira had just come out of her school environment with 14 children and their teacher, Andini.
As promised, Andini will invite them to go to a place to celebrate the success of their performance. Everyone seemed excited to imagine the time they would enjoy together.
“Bu, later can pesen any menu right? Unlimited so..” asked Diana who walked beside Shafira while wrapping her hand on Shafira's arm. Perhaps this girl was one of the most excited to get a tract invitation from their teacher.
“Bby, but it should run out yes. If not, you will get charged.” timpal Andini with a thin smile.
“Ih mother like to eat all you can eat aja, if you don't have to pay." Diana grumbled in a smile by Andini. "But calm ma'am, it must be over. You see if said abi, the rest of the food that is not exhausted it is precisely the most contains goodness.” this is how if the child abi has come to talk.
"Good indeed, my mother shone with her."
Moments later, his steps had to come to a halt as Shafira suddenly stared with her gaze fixed on the invited guests who had just walked out of the hall. He looked like he was looking for someone.
“From whom fir? Tuh the malvin mah is in front.” Tempt Diana who nudged Shafira's arm on purpose. He thinks who else Shafira would have looked for if not Malvin, the beloved pianist.
“Em no, I was squirming.” Shafira hung up her sentence and chose to walk towards the crowd of people.
“FIR! Where are you going?” while shouting Diana followed Shafira who was running in no direction.
“Fira why bu?” a girl asked Andini and Andini just shook her head. His face looked anxious as he saw Shafira suddenly running.
“You guys first. This is the address of the place, later mom nyulai.” Andini gave the girl a piece of paper and followed Shafira.
The beautiful girl looked sculpted, watching the surrounding parking area that was still crowded. His face looked confused, still looking for someone.
“Who are you looking for fir?” Andini asked with a breath.
“Em not ma'am, it was like I saw someone.” Shafira was still wailing but the shadow of the person she saw earlier was no longer visible.
“Maybe you misclaimed. Don't think about it.” Diana tried to wake up her best friend.
“Ya already yuk!” Diana pulls Shafira's hand which she occasionally still tries to find. Nil, it looks like he saw it wrong.
Liana is currently hiding behind an SUV. After mingling with people he was finally able to hide from Shafira's pursuit. He wears shawl to cover his head as well as sunglasses to disguise his appearance. Even so, it seems that Shafira still recognizes him.
Yes, Liana was indeed present to see Shafira's appearance.
“Mom,.” Shafira calls are still ringing clearly in her ears since last night. The young girl kept knocking on the door of her room but she did not open it. He was still deep in thought and had not found a proper way to explain the problems in this family to Shafira.
“Mom, tomorrow fira performing. Fira singing a song also bacain a poem that fira made his own. Can you please spare a moment to see the appearance of fira? At least about 10 minutes aja.” That request was what Liana heard later. A simple but difficult request to make.
Hearing shafira's request, his regret grew bigger. For 17 years she was the mother of Shafira but never once did she have the courage to show herself as the wife of Sigit Hardjoyo or the mother of her little daughter.
Why is it so hard to get a chance to claim to be the wife of the great businessman Sigit Hardjoyo and the mother of such a beautiful voice girl? Why does God seem to put him in another dimension that only exists with one small desire that he can never even realize.
It all starts with a mistake. It was a mistake because he had fallen in love with a married man and had a son.
21 Years ago, Liana was the secretary of successful businessman Sigit Hardjoyo. Young entrepreneurs with strong charisma and in disdain of many people. His successful career, known as an entrepreneur and husband of a multi-talented woman who has a company in the property field.
Since working at the Hardjoyo family company, Liana's days are spent happily. Seeing Sigit from a very close distance, knowing what he likes and dislikes and always there when the man needs his help. He was so familiar with Sigit that from the way the man breathed his breath he could immediately understand what Sigit wanted.
He loved his work especially everything related to Sigit. By taking care of all the needs of Sigit in the office makes their closeness more instant.
He fell in love. Falling in love with someone who shouldn't.
Time is rolling fast. The longer he gets to know the figure of Sigit and the longer his feelings grow. Until one day accidentally, he heard a commotion that made him smile happily.
“We know arini, we never love each other. Our marriage is just a transaction of obligations. You have an obligation to fulfill your father's request and I have an obligation to keep the mandate given by your father, because of his services. That's all right?”
That sentence was heard by Liana when Sigit and Arini were having a big fight. One fact that either Liana should be grateful or join in feeling the sadness of Arini. Arini, who is independent, smart and rich, was not the woman Sigit loved. And since then, the impetus in Liana has become more and more. The desire to have the man he loves is growing stronger. Until 3 years after that, they made a beautiful mistake for Liana.
Recalling those times, the fragile and lonely Sigit meets the ever-present Liana and gives her a sense of comfort as a woman. He can give anything Sigit needs including his body. Unfortunately, Sigit was only present to stop by not to really. Maybe he was just an impingement for a lonely man.
Sigit as realized, that Liana could not replace Arini and was not worthy to be introduced as a wife.
The transaction of obligation continues. Sigit did marry her but unfortunately never let her as a wife known to people. Only Arini was introduced as his wife. Although there is a marriage that occurs, unfortunately it is only a duty to blame for damaging a woman. There is never love, everything is just lust for a moment.
Sigit loved only one, maintaining his image at the peak of his career without thinking about anything else including his family.
And that day Arini came back. The circumstances that Liana was afraid of actually happened. His feelings were whipped between shame, sadness, anger and disappointment. He realized, slowly his position would be shifted. But his heart was sure, if Sigit could never give his heart, then he would bind the man with his obligation forever.
"I love mas sigit." That's all he had.
“You very much keep your good name mas. And I will always be supportive. But if you harass me, I will not be destroyed alone.” bravely he made a threat to Sigit to never leave him.
It seems like the trick he did worked. Although Sigit clearly showed his anger but the man could not resist the presence of Liana. His eyes were barking but not saying a word but perhaps in his heart he was cursing the woman he had been married to for 17 years.
In Liana's heart she had sworn that she would not back down. He will fight until Sigit admits it. Unknowingly, his selfishness had left his daughter injured. He can't even explain what happened. He was too afraid, if possible his daughter would be more disappointed when he knew that he was born because of a mistake.
Today his heart ached as he saw Shafira sobbing on stage. He felt the bitterness especially when the one in Shafira's embrace was not him. He could only hide without being able to give a warm hug to calm his daughter down.
As of this moment, he did not even dare to show his face in front of Shafira and her friends. I can hide and I don't know when.
“Sorry mamih fira because mamih can never attend and accompany you as a mother who is supposed to protect you from the injustice of this world.” Inner Liana sobbing.
His sadness grew as he looked back at the video recording of Shafira's performance. Why has everything become so difficult for him and for his daughter?
