Money Or Honey
Episode 5: Strange

The wedding just finished. Hiyola chose to sit in the armchair without any intention of greeting the invitations, none of whom she knew.

There were several invitations that came to greet her while saying Kimberly's name, some even said that Hiyola was beautiful like the gossip they often heard. But, Hiyola himself did not know what they really meant. All she knew was that she had officially become the wife of the man she had met a few hours ago.

Fulfilling the allotment, Hiyola again enjoyed the cake that had been delivered by the waiter, his eyes continued to look far at the invitees. After seeing –see, it turns out that most of the invitations present do not have facial features like Asians, maybe they are the family of Mr. Roberth from abroad.

“Not joined, Miss Kim?”

Hiyola turned her head, a foreign man is currently talking with her, this man's Indonesian accent is not so smooth according to Hiyola's view.

“Ah, no.” Hiyola said. He then turned his face away from the man.

“You are beautiful, as I often hear.” Said the man again.

In her heart Hiyola wanted to shout as loud as possible that what you said was nonsense, because no one in the world knew me. Goddamnit! However, he was resistant.

Feeling uneasy, Hiyola finally made an excuse to leave from there.

“Sorry, I have to go there first.” He said with a stiff smile. A smile that is not sincere.

***

Offered by Petra, Hiyola sits in the back seat, this is her last chance to meet Miona.

Along the way Hiyola threw his face out the window of the car. His right hand was a credit card and a savings card, his eyes glancing at the clock on the brown watch. Time has shown at 19:03 does not feel the sky has darkened. The more Hiyola felt increasingly suffocated, as if she had not been given a chance to breathe.

Shortly after, the car entered the hospital. After parking, Hiyola rushed down and ran to meet Miona while Petra followed behind.

“Kak Hiyo..” Shouted Miona as soon as she saw the older brother running towards her.

Shortly after finding Miona, Hiyola immediately carried her sister in her arms, tears that Hiyola tried to hold for a day to come out without being able to prevent. The idea of sending the sister out of town with Alya's aunt is getting heavier to say.

While hiccupping, Hiyola let go of her embrace. In her face, Miona's face was fixed. There was a sense of inadequacy, but Hiyola had no other choice. Miona would be very angry at him if she knew what was really going on. Miona would also definitely not leave if she knew the reality that Hiyola was facing right now.

“What happened, Brother Hiyo?” Asked Miona who was worried. It's the first time Miona has seen Hiyola cry since their mother's stay. What the hell is going on?

Hiyola shook her head for a while then smiled. Although forced, he must be able to convince Miona to go with Alya's aunt.

Finally after being persuaded many times, Hiyola managed to convince Miona to leave. While Hiyola gave reasons that he had to settle down to pay off the loan money.

At first, Miona protested, fearing that her brother might borrow from loan sharks, fortunately, there was Petra who helped meatakan that loan money obtained from the company where Hiyola worked so that Miona immediately agreed and at that time the aunt was immediately handled.

***

After taking Alya and Miona's aunt to the airport, Petra immediately drove Hiyola to the house she was going to live with Roberth.

The long journey took Hiyola into the area with a two-story house in the middle of a large courtyard surrounded by high concrete walls.

The walls and doors of the luxury house are simple style, using transparent glass material, then in the front there is a minimalist garden planted with several kinds of plants and trees.

On the front of the house there are also many lights so that this luxurious minimalist house looks luminous. In the garden also decorated with interesting garden lights, rectangular with a standing position.

“Nona Hiyola, you can get off now.” Petra exclaimed at Hiyola's daydream that didn't even know when the man was coming down.

As soon as Hiyola got off, Petra looked down respectfully, then returned to the car.

“Mr Petra, thank you for that.” Hiyola said sincerely when petra was already in his position. There was no unhappy tone like before her.

Petra then nodded, “Sama-sama Miss Hiyola. It is my job to make sure you come back. And well, just call me ‘Petra’." said Petra then started speeding away. Wanting Hiyola to retract her words, it was a pity that the man had already disappeared.

After Petra's departure, Hiyola turned back to look at the mansion there. His hands held his chest where his heart was.

While walking, Hiyola started to draw and throw rough breaths. Something waiting ahead there will be his fate now.

Without hesitation Hiyola began to hold the door algae and then pushed it slowly but how surprised Hiyola was when she saw the scene that was suguhi Roberth.

“Huwaaa...!” Hiyola shrieked as she closed her eyes with both hands. Robert looked over for a moment as he was disturbed.

“What are you doing here?” he was surprised, but returned to his activities watching TV.

But that was not the case, which was the problem, the man sat with a half-naked body, while the bottom was covered in a fairly short towel, unlike most people in general.

“What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with your family?” Robert asked once again with a straight look at the TV.

Robert stopped his activities. “What do you say? Bawdy? Do you have any idea how many women are willing to pay to see this body? Huh!” he says flat.

What's wrong? According to Roberth he is not currently in an inappropriate condition to look at .

“Pay? Are all people like you basically equally perverted?”

What an answer beyond expectations. How dare Hiyola call it perverted. Robert was convinced that Hiyola was not a 25-year-old woman. How could a grown woman even react like that? Plus his reaction when the contract signature was also a little suspicious.

“You're really a 25-year-old woman right?” Ask Robert who has stood up from his position.

“What's his relationship with this?” hiyola asked again.

“have you never seen a man's body?” Ask Robert uncensored .

Hiyola then let go of both hands. What does Robert mean by asking like that? “I mean the master of a 25 year old woman is obliged to look at a man's body? So?” mention Hiyola again. Do all adults need to see each other's bodies?

Robert breathed heavily. Hiyola is indeed a strange woman, why should she always answer her questions with baseless accusations? After all he was not completely naked until this woman had to say so.

“Speaking with you just get dizzy, come in, I'll explain some rules for you.”

But instead of moving in, Hiyola turned backwards. “Explain with conditions like this?” Hiyola asked, widening her eyes because of Robert, who was not out of position.

“Yes! whyever not? This is my home, so it's up to me.” With ease, Robert sat back while staring at Hiyola defiantly. “You want to come here or just stand there?”

“Yes god, you really are a perverted man.” Pekik Hiyola who immediately ran out. He doesn't even care about formal speaking rules anymore.

***

Two hours Hiyola was sitting in the front seat of the body had even started to shiver, but not in the least he intended to enter.

Even if he has to spend the night outside he willingly, as long as it is not within the reach of Roberth, the handsome man whose affection is perverted. I don't know what else he has to face, after this.

Not long after, Hiyola was suddenly startled with a pat on her shoulder. As fast as lightning, Hiyola closed her eyes again.

“Hei! I've been dressed. Open your eyes.”

Hiyola lowered her hand slowly, then opened her eyes. His gaze was fixed on Robert who was standing at his right.

Sure enough, Robert was already dressed. She wore a blue donker sweatshirt, which was paired with cotton trousers, a far cry from sexy.

“Come.” The command of Robert, who then goes first, follows Hiyola.

They then sat in front of the TV, even though they dared to look at her, Robert could tell from Hiyola's gaze that she was still on guard. And that made Robert even more angry.

“Stop staring at me like that. I'm not the perverted guy you think I am.”

Looking at Hiyola who seemed willing to comment, Robert interrupted as quickly as possible.

“Your room will be right next to my room.” Show Robert to the second floor above.

“Isn't there one room on this floor? I'd better be there,” protested Hiyola while pointing to a room that was right next to the kitchen that was clearly visible from her seat.

“You are a wife, how can you sleep in a maid's room?”

Hiyola breathed out slowly. It is better to sleep in the maid's room than to sleep opposite Robert.

Imagining it alone managed to make Hiyola's body bristle. He immediately rubbed both of his arms while shivering in horror.

“What do you imagine?” Ask Robert. His voice was cold and unfriendly. Hiyola swallowed her saliva and shook her head.

“No.” Hiyola answered then took a standing position and hurriedly climbed up the stairs towards the upper room.

Seeing Hiyola's behavior, Robert threw a rough breath. Does he have to stay with that random woman for a year? Asta, just pray he hasn't gone crazy until then.

“What a strange woman. I'm not interested in your little body either.”

***

Hiyola immediately ran to the bed after locking the door. He swore he would not sleep until the morning so he could be on his guard in case Robert did anything.
