The Contract Husband I Love
3. PRELIMINARY MEETING

Niken is still waiting for Jake. His fingers are busy moving the phone screen, scroll some social media reading some trending posts. Then, check out the proposal that her father's secretary sent via email.

His gaze was so focused on his phone screen that Niken was unaware of Jake's arrival. Jake finally tapped on the car window to let Niken open the window.

"Miss ... Miss!" He called Niken who was busy with his affairs.

Niken finally opened part of her car window, "What's up?" the question is not yet aware of something that Jake has brought.

"Miss, I've brought the young man who was beaten by the people," he said confidently, accompanied by a triumphant smile because he had managed to bring the hunt his employer wanted.

Niken gawked outside. His gaze instantly fell on the unconscious young man there. Niken glanced a little at Jake, 'He fainted?' that's the question Niken wants to ask. However, he only gave Jake an eye-glaring gesture.

Immediately the driver who was his Bodyguard nodded quickly, "I brought him in with a faint state, Miss. After the citizens were satisfied to beat him, then I brought him here," he said.

Niken was curious. He got out of his car, standing with his hands folded in his chest. "Wake him up!" his orders are so clear.

"Wake her up, what's Miss with?" ask Jake with all his innocence.

Niken patted him on the forehead, then hit Jake on the head, "Stupid base!" upset ass. "Search for water, then flush him with water. Understood!"

The bluff that is at once the command, immediately done by Jake without having to reply with words.

Jake immediately searches for the nearest water source there. Their current location, in the middle of the plantation, should be easy for Jake to find a source of water. But the question is, how to get water from the garden?

Niken also waited, while continuing to watch the young man from a distance. Not long after, Jake also came with a bucket filled with water.

"Miss, this is the water." Jake showed me the bucket he was carrying.

Niken smiled wryly, "Quickly flush it to the young man!" command clear.

Jake came to the young man immediately. Then, take a swing first before the end.

"Wake you!"

BRUSH ...

Jake poured a bucket of water on the unconscious young man. Suddenly, a man known as Ardi awakens as water begins to enter his nose.

"What the hell," snapped Ardi as he rubbed his wet face.

Niken grinned with a hand that folded in the chest. "It seems, he's not conscious yet. Flush again, Jake!" his orders get a nod from Jake.

When Jake was about to take the water back because the water he was carrying had run out, Ardi raised his voice. "Hey, Master, Madam! Stop the. I've come to my senses" he said in a hurry so that the man who was about to take the water no longer doused it.

One bucket alone is able to make clothes, nose and ears put water in. What if I add one more bucket? He will die out of breath. Thought Ardi.

Niken raised her hand without saying anything. Jake nodded and he took a few steps back, while Niken stepped forward to approach Ardi.

"Why did you just flush me, why not kill me?" grumbling Ardi was annoyed that his clothes were wet and his nose was inundated with water.

"Oh, so." Niken nodded with a mouth that formed a large O, "Jake! Kill her!" his orders were firm and without doubt.

Jake also advanced forward, while Ardi who heard it immediately riled up. "Eh, no. That's not what I meant. I don't want to die." Hurriedly he said, shaking his hand the sign of rejection.

Niken also smiled cynically at the young man whose appearance was very chaotic, "If you look around again, you are quite handsome," said Niken while stroking his chin. His gaze was so sharp, as a sign of his seriousness.

Ardi covered his body with both hands. He felt that the woman standing in front of him was thinking dirty, moreover, her clothes were wet so that the curves of her body must have been more clearly visible.

Niken furrowed next to his brows, looking at the strange young man covered in punched scars. Jake draws closer to Niken.

"Miss!" whisper it, in Niken's ear. "What?" Niken was curious. He brought his face closer to Jake.

Ardi squinted his eyes, suddenly feeling alert. At least he was curious about what they were going to talk about.

Jake then begins to continue his story. "Miss ... He was beaten for sleeping in the house of the widow's flower" whispered Jake, who could be heard.

"What?" Niken was so surprised by the information he just got. Ardi pretended not to hear, even though he actually knew the thing that surprised them.

"Thus ... You ..." Niken refrained from laughing. "You ... Hahaha ..." She laughed because she couldn't help it anymore.

Ardi lowered his head, hiding his embarrassment as he was sure the woman and man knew the problem he was facing.

Niken did not continue his sentence, his body was brought closer, his head was also leaning forward. "Are you beaten for sleeping in a widow's house?" the whispers are serious.

Ardi's cheeks flushed not out of embarrassment, but he was so angry and upset. His blood flow boiled as he recalled the betrayal of the woman he loved.

Knitting love for three years, in fact only used as a joke and playfulness for Melati. The daughter of the village chief who was so famous there. Melati's beauty is plenary, making it as a village flower there. Ardi had previously intended to marry her, one more step towards a contract. That's where Ardi found out that Melati didn't really love him.

Just a letter Melati left in her room. Ardi muffled when reading the contents of the letter. After reading it, he immediately squeezed the letter and stomped on it.

"Oh, so you left your future wife. Is, is, is. It's a shame your fate" Niken said in a mockery. "The first time you left your girlfriend, what was her name?" continue to guess, while looking at the sky. His mind was brought to remember the name of the woman who left on his wedding day.

"Delati," said Ardi while throwing away his gaze.

"Ah, yes it is, Melati. Why do I forget so much lately? I'm thirty years old, pretty and smart, but why do I forget so much?" his speech with a glance was fixed on Ardi.

The series of events experienced makes Ardi really not interested in the jokes that are trying to be made by Niken.

Let alone responding, Ardi did not even have the energy to hear it. Niken was silent after seeing Ardi's reaction as if he did not care about his ridicule.

Niken took a deep breath, setting his heart and mind first. Try to convince yourself that this decision will not be wrong. At least it should be tried. The result will not be known, if not done.

After careful consideration, Niken approached Ardi. He sat down crouching so that his position was in line with the young man who had just experienced the calamity.

Ardi took his breath. The presence of the woman who did not know what her name was made her head even more dizzy.

Niken is ready to make his point, "You must want to avenge Melati's betrayal, and reciprocate their treatment of you, right?"

Niken paused his sentence first. Ardi did not immediately reply, but his head slightly nodded which could be interpreted as a sign of agreement.

"Then be my husband that way you can avenge all their actions on you!" invite him straightforwardly, by folding both hands on the chest, and a slightly puffed face.

Ardi glared, his eyes like he wanted to jump out when the woman who about an hour ago met him asked him to be her husband.

Niken, who was standing, is now crouching again. "Marry me, and you can repay them!"

"Married you? Are you out of your mind?" ardi without holding back his surprise.
