SYAHDU (Contract Sleep Friends)
Soraya or Syahdu?

...PoV Authors...

Arga threw his body on the couch after reaching Margaret's house. He looked forward. All in her sight was Shahdu. The girl's condition is not okay. He looked so shocked and pale. How's he doing now?

Arga shook his head. Stupid, obviously the woman was fine after meeting her lover. His true love - said Syahdu at that time.

"Alexander, you just got home, baby."

Arga sighed in annoyance. "Times, Mi. Don't call me Alexander!"

Julia sits on the sofa, ignoring Arga's remarks as she will continue to call her son by the name of Alexander. Her husband, Alex Dayton, married her 25 years ago.

Arga refused to be called Alexander since relations with his father deteriorated. He then asked people to call him Arga, not wanting to have much more to do with his father.

"Tonight don't go anywhere, mami misses because mami's only two weeks here. Understood?"

"Hm. Yes." he answered lazily.

Dinner has arrived. Arga sat down with his cell phone. Food he did not touch. His eyes continued to be fixed on his chat room with Syahdu. He wanted to type something, but was worried if the message was found by Wicak.

"Arga, the food isn't good?"

Arga put down her phone, she started picking up the spoon and feeding the food instead of Margaret scolding her chef because the cooked food was disliked by her granddaughter.

"Darling, do you have a problem?" Ask Julia. She had seen her son not excited.

"Neither, mi." The answer.

"Excuse me, madam. There guests. Said he wanted to see Julia's mistress." A housekeeper gave the information he got from the gatekeeper.

"Ah, tell him to come in." Julia answered quickly.

"Who?" Ask Margaret.

Julia just smiled then glanced at Arga who looked unconcerned.

"Excuse me, aunt Julia, Oma." Sapa Soraya's. It came with a food box.

Arga who saw the arrival of Soraya immediately put down his spoon and drank water.

"Sorry to interrupt dinner." The connection when looking at Arga to stop from his activities.

"Absolutely not. Sit down, Soraya, we have dinner together." Julia ordered the waiter to take another plate and glass.

"Ma, this is you, Soraya. His daughter is Sutomo Adiguna. Mama must know." Julia said to Margaret.

Margaret looked at Soraya. His eyes were comparing between the girl in front of him and also Syahdu.

"What business do you have with Julia's husband?" Ask Margaret frankly.

Soraya looked surprised by the question, but her lips still developed a smile.

"Ee. if that, I don't know, Oma."

"Where are you going to college?" Ask Margaret again. He's investigating the girl.

"In Medistira, Oma."

"Doctor?"

Soraya nodded in embarrassment. "To compile the thesis, Oma."

"Oohs. Arga should also have compiled a thesis. But he's lazy college." Margaret glanced at Arga. But the man finished his drink and stood up.

"Eh, where are you going?" Julia pulled Arga by her side again until she sat down again. "Non't go anywhere. Kan, I promise you quality time with mami."

Arga sighed. Want him to obey.

"eeee.. Arga, papah said, can meet Wednesday night, no. It just so happens that papah will fly to the UK on Thursday, so papah wants to meet you." Soraya said hesitantly. He also deliberately asked Arga when there is an oma and her mother so that Arga difficult to refuse.

"Gue filled the show."

"Dear, come on." Julia held her son's hand.

"Mi, Arga said it, right. Arga doesn't want to get married, let alone be betrothed." Arga Resolute.

They're silent. So did Margaret who only met the three men at the dinner table.

"Ee. If you are busy, what will I say to papah. Let's find another time."

"Gue is busy every day." Answer Arga cuek.

"Honey, don't do it, dong. You have no time in a day." Complain Julia.

"Eee. is actually papah ngundang dinner for oma and aunt Julia as well. Just, Soraya was afraid that Auntie was busy." Soraya proposed it alone. He didn't want Arga's chance to meet his father to be missed.

"What true? When's? Auntie's still here, you know."

"Soraya's gonna be aunty again, yeah." Soraya replied pleased.

"Yes, eat first. Later aunty talk again, yeah."

"Yes, aunt." Her mouth with pleasure. He glanced at Arga. The man just looked at his phone screen.

Arga opens the refrigerator. He picked up a bottle of cold water and poured it into a glass. He deliberately drank cold water, so that his mind could be calmer. For some reason, since today's incident made him continue to think about Syahdu.

Margaret approached Arga who was sitting in the kitchen minibar. The man daydreamed earlier, making Margaret wonder what her grandson was thinking.

"It's nothing, oma."

The old woman was sitting next to Arga. "Say he will bring Syahdu. Whereabouts? You're nipu oma again, yeah."

"Not that, oma. Syahdu is not feeling well anymore. Anyway, if the time is already roomy, Arga must have brought him here."

Margaret nodded. His finger tapped on the table, wanting to ask about Soraya he saw, Arga did not like the girl.

"Is that the girl Alex chose for you?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"You likey?"

"Oma, not about likes. But Arga doesn't want to get married." The man again and again.

Margaret sighed. He thought that if Alex wanted to marry his son, he would agree instead of his generation being lost because Arga had no interest in continuing.

"Arga, listen to oma." Margaret tilted her body, facing her grandson.

"You choose to marry Syahdu, or Soraya."

"Mom..."

"Select, or oma agrees on what Alex has planned for you." Threaten Margaret seriously.

"Lho, what's that?"

"Yes that. Oma doesn't want the oma lineage to stop at you. Now, you choose. Syahdu, or Soraya. If you choose Syahdu, oma will help fight your papa to the point of blood loss." Clearly Margaret and immediately left Arga who was gawking with what oma had just told her.

Upset, Arga leaves the kitchen, goes up the stairs to the room.

His steps came to a halt at the last rung of the stairs when he saw the door of his room open. Arga went straight to his room and found Soraya sitting on the edge of the bed.

"What are you doing here??"

Soraya stood up. He looked at Arga who had suddenly arrived.

"Ee. earlier, aunt Julia told me to go upstairs first so.."

"Get out!"

"Arga, I'm just-"

"Let's go say!"

"Darling, what's wrong?" Julia came, she was standing on the doorstep.

"Mi, you know, Arga does not like Arga's room entered by others including maids and even mami." Arga stared at Soraya. The girl lowered her head, feeling guilty already brushed in.

While Julia, stood up to look at Soraya. He didn't tell her to go to Arga's room. Julia just asked Soraya to wait in the garden upstairs.

"Soraya, come here."

Soraya walked quickly out of the room following Julia to the park right next to Arga's room. They sat in the gazebo with bright lanterns.

"Raya, sorry Arga, yes. He is that. I never liked anything or anything that was touched by someone else. Aunty can't go in her room if there's no interest."

"What time, auntie?"

"Yes. She was so diligent her son. Neat, like rich papa. So the room was always he sorted out himself. Clothes, or whatever, he won't wear it again if it's someone else's abis."

Soraya nodded. Now he understood why Arga was so angry.

"What's wrong with you, right?"

"Ngga apapa, aunt. It's good, right. It means that later if I become his wife, he just wants to be held with me. That's a character that even jaarrang really belongs to men today."

Julia laughed softly. "Yes. Aunty reckon, over time he must have withered with you. You're beautiful, smart, polite again. Aunt agrees that you're with Arga."

"Hehe. Thanks, yeah, aunt."

From inside her room, Arga looked up at the conversation of two people near her window. He immediately reached for his phone to ask about Syahdu's condition. But he immediately stood up when he saw the girl's latest status.

"Shahdu!"

Arga grabbed the keys and the car keys. He walked quickly towards the door of the room, but his steps came to a halt. If he's there and the guy hasn't come home yet, what? That guy, is he staying at the hospital or not?

Arga closed his eyes tightly. He must have been there to accompany Syahdu. It was impossible for the man to let Syahdu trouble himself. But, he didn't calm down if he didn't confirm it himself.

"Darling, can you come here for a second?" Julia from the front.

"Can't, Mi. Arga's got important business!" He shouted while running down the stairs.
