My Heart For You
5. Deal
The matter between Kenan and Karina was finally resolved, but the man looked still agitated. It even looks more agitated than when the misunderstanding occurred.
The words his father kept ringing in his head made him feel dizzy. Eventually he decides to go see Kiara because the girl often gives him a solution he never thought of before.
Arriving at Kiara's house, Kenan immediately knocked on the door of the house. Not long after, a woman opened the door and greeted Kenan politely.
“where is Kiara?”
“non Kiara is in the living room sir.”
Kenan walks into the house and finds Kiara sitting on the sofa. His steps grew even faster when he saw the medicine box lying on the table. He saw Kiara's hand now wrapped in bandages neatly.
“what happened?”
“why are you here Kenan? Not usually you don't tell me first if you want to come here.”
“I need your suggestion, before that please tell me what has happened.”
“I just tripped and fell, my hand scratched something.”
“you should just stay home, this makes me not calm if you leave you alone.”
“oh come on I'm not a child and this is just a small wound.”
“prevent better than treat. How about you stay at my house.”
“that is impossible.”
“i'm serious, if necessary we just marry.”
Kiara was surprised by the words that Kenan had just said.
“you're crazy, it's impossible.”
Kenan sits down on the sofa next to Kiara. He clasped Kiara's hand and re-expressed his thoughts on marrying the woman.
“aku is married.”
“but your husband ran away right? You can marry me.”
“although he suddenly disappeared two years ago, but legally my status is still his wife. I'm a married woman.”
Kiara explained her status firmly before the man. The man who had sacrificed three years of his life to take care of his blind self. Kiara sighed then took off Kenan's hand from her hand.
“Kenan, marriage is a sacred sacred bond. You can't marry someone just because you feel guilty. I hope you remember this and marry the woman you love and also love you.”
“you don't know anything.” Kenan lowered his head in a doldrums.
For all these years he had always paid attention to Kiara. Especially since he had an accident to cause blindness in both eyes. Kenan is always ready beside Kiara not without reason. Aside from the guilt that the woman had said, there was another feeling in her heart that she had always been craving for herself.
“married is not just about living one roof with a woman, after marriage your life is no longer about yourself.”
“as long as it's you, I can do everything for you.”
Kiara again sighed because this unbeatable stubbornness of Kenan was really troublesome. I don't know what's inside the guy's head until he proposes a crazy idea.
“do you love me?”
“ya.”
“as a woman?”
“...”
“look, for something like this only you can't answer. I know you love me but not as a woman but as a sister.”
“but I can live with you and not necessarily be able to live with other women.”
“now go home and think with a cool head what you just said. I am the sister of the best friend you cherish the most and my current status is married. Marriage is not the solution to all problems.”
“then look for a woman who is ready to marry you, but never marry a woman with your current mindset, I guarantee that woman will suffer for the rest of your life.”
Kiara stood up and walked slowly to the room with a stick that had accompanied her for the past three years.
Meanwhile, Karina is currently sitting in a park with her eyes focused on her phone. He still dreams of earning that kind of money in just a few hours. Then he moved the money that had just entered his account into his other personal account. The account that he had always kept secret from his uncle's family.
Since being abandoned by her parents, Karina thinks her uncle will be her new family. But all of that was wrong because their treatment of him was far different from the treatment of his parents against him. Since childhood he was assigned to take care of the home affairs that should be done by the aunt. Then after growing up, he only knew the reason why his uncle insisted on taking care of him.
The cliche reason is not far from the word money. Karina's parents left behind a sizable amount of insurance money. But the money could only be cashed out by Karina after she turned seventeen. Then when he was seventeen years old, his uncle and aunt immediately seized the money without giving him a penny in return because they had taken care of him since childhood. But one fact re-revealed that the fee they used to care for her came from her parents' estate left as an inheritance.
After she finished transferring the money, Karina smiled as her savings increased quite a lot. Just gather a little more and he can get out of the house immediately. A message notification appeared on his phone screen. Karina opened the message full of question marks because the number was not from the contact list stored on her phone.
“who?”
The contents of the message say that the sender wants to meet him at the hotel where he works, right now. Karina thought hard as to who might send her the message, but not a single person flashed in her head. After thinking for a while, Karina finally moved towards the hotel to meet the person.
Karina stood in confusion after arriving at the hotel lobby. There was no other clue as to where he should meet the person or how his features were.
“Karina.” Someone called him from the restaurant stairs.
“Pak Kenan?”
“i've been waiting for you.”
“bapak who sent me a message?”
“iya.”
Kenan walked first towards the restaurant and then followed by Karina. The two of them sat face to face at one of the VIP tables that were there. Kenan looked at her seriously making Karina subconsciously lower her head.
“I need your help again.”
“what help again?”
“for this time, I will give you everything you want.”
“then, this must be a greater help than yesterday right?”
Kenan nodded his head as Karina's guess was on target. As hard as he thought, Karina's name always popped into his head. Therefore, he decided to call out to her and speak directly.
“marry me.”
Karina felt like she had just hallucinated. The man with the CEO position sitting in front of him had just asked her to marry him.
“Map crazy?”
The spontaneous speech that came out of Karina's mouth made her feel uneasy. He was called crazy by two women on the same day.
“sorry sir, this time I can't help.”
“after you marry me, I guarantee your rights I will not violate. I will also help you get out of your uncle's house, our marriage will also not last more than a year.”
Karina who was about to stand up immediately paused her intention. A one-year marriage contract with a guarantee to get out of his uncle's house is a very lucrative offer. In that one year he could work hard and buy his own house. After the divorce he will no longer set foot in hell.
“I will think about your offer well, let's meet three more days while bringing your respective requirements.”
“requirements?”
“it's clear this is a contract offer, so I have my own terms as well as Mr for the deal to be reached.”
“so you received it?”
“Bapak can know later whether I will sign his contract or not.”
“all right, I wait for your decision.”
Karina stood followed by Kenan and the two men shook hands. After that, he went out of the restaurant first and went home.
