Wife Contract CEO
38

From the very beginning of meeting Stella's mother, I felt she was very kind. He even always defended me when the sharp tongue cornered or blamed me. He even told the sharp tongue to buy food. I think after Stella's mother leaves, she'll definitely take revenge on me.

I kept thinking about this, if he scolded me or cursed me anyway my ears like he was getting used to it with his squealing.Yang still not strong it's my heart. My mom and dad rarely scream at home. Our house is small do not scream, just throw the wind sounds clear.

And usually that sharp tongue if it's upset with me. All he did was add to my debt. I thought it would be paid off in ten months, but it wasn't.

I'm still listening to Stella's mother's story now, rather than thinking about my additional debt to that sharp tongue. I'd better hear Stella's mother's story about her and Damar's father when she was young.

"Even my husband would never eat if I hadn't poured rice in his plate...!" stella's mother then fell silent and lowered her face at a glance.

I think he misses Damar's father, they're so romantic. They have been married for decades but their love is so strong, they can only talk about their habits.

I remember my father and my mother, even though she had a nagging hobby, but I was the one who was always ready to listen to my mother's nagging. And as ready to accommodate all the complaints of the mother. Ah, I want my home life to be like theirs.

'Gyaaaah, what am I thinking. Where is it possible that my household life will be like theirs. There are three times a day tuh the sharp tongue will grumble!' I screamed in my heart because I thought of something impossible to happen.

'Indeed what I expected, this marriage is also just a contract marriage!' I complained again in my heart.

Long enough Stella's mother was silent. And the sharp tongue has not yet come. I told myself to talk to Stella's mom.

"Mom misses dad huh?" ask me softly and slowly. I even asked that sentence with bated breath.

I doubt it, because I'm afraid of what I think is wrong. Stella's mother turned her head towards me and she smiled.

"You're right, I'm thinking about Sam's father, he must be getting more and more unkempt. But don't worry, tomorrow is your wedding...!

Deg

I felt my heart almost pop. That's right, the wedding's tomorrow. Why don't I think about it, now I'm really nervous. I'm getting married tomorrow, I don't believe this myself.

"So we'll meet, and you'll also meet your father-in-law" Stella's mother continued.

I'm getting nervous, I think if anyone touches my palm, the temperature is now under minus Lina or minus seven degrees Celsius. I could feel like I was holding an ice cube when I touched my palm with the back of my other hand.

"You don't panic so dear, Damar's father is the kindest man in the whole world!" stella's mother told me that Damar's father had nothing to fear.

Though I was suddenly groggy not because of that, but because of the wedding that will be direct tomorrow. This is indeed a contract marriage, but all its processes and rituals are real, and this marriage will also be legal in the eyes of law and religion.

Brakes

The sound of the car door being shut firmly shocked me. More precisely in the banting. And who else would have done it if not Samuel, the man with the sharp tongue. Why did I give him that nickname? because he always managed to stab me in the heart with every sentence that came out of his mouth. His tongue is very sharp. If I didn't owe him, I'd hit him in the head and run away from him as far as I could.

"Why slam the door?" ask Stella's mother who is as surprised as I am.

"Mother, stop. It's so hot outside, Mr. Urip quickly turns on the engine and goes straight to Naira's house!" exclaim Samuel indifferently.

Stella's mother rested her body on the back of the car seat. Like her she's so tired.

"Still far away isn't your home Nai?" ask Stella's mom.

"No ma'am, just two alleyways from here!" answer me.

"You know you work in a bookstore, you can invite those friends and the bookstore owner, too!" stella's mother said and to be honest I'm very happy to hear that.

"really? thanks Stella's mom!" I said to Stella's mom.

Stella's mother smiled and glanced at Samuel.

"Begging Rikas to give them the invitation!" he said and Samuel just nodded while continuing to play his phone.

I wondered what he was doing with his phone. The problem since from the airport, he kept busy with his cell phone. Is that about work? or chat with her lover.

'Oh, Nai. You think what the hell, why even kepo the same people. It's none of your business either, he wants to chat with whom!' my mind again.

After a while, you arrived in front of the house. And like his father and mother have gone home. Because the door of the house is open. Mom and Dad had a habit of opening doors when they were in the house. After all, it was past noon, Ibras must have gone home.

Stella and I got out of the car, and as usual. The neighbors especially the mothers seen kepo because of the arrival of Stella's mother and also Samuel.

If it is like an artist yes, Stella's mother is similar to Sophia Latjuba. Beautiful and charming. Stella's mother didn't invite me in right away, she greeted one of my neighbors who was gossiping with another.

"Good day!" greet Stella's mother and the two mothers looked awkward.

"Si.morning!" answer them a wave.

And then Stella's mom took me inside the house. But the mothers called me in a slow voice.

"Nai.. Nai.. who is that? artist huh?" ask my neighbor Saodah's mother.

It's true what I said, Saodah's mother even thought that Stella's mother was an artist.

I was just about to open my mouth to answer a question from Saodah's mother. But Stella's mom put her arm around me and said,

"I'm Naira's future mother-in-law, greetings from my Stella Virendra!" stella's mother replied kindly.

I saw my two neighbors widen their eyes and mouths, I was sure not only flies, but if any passing sparrows could enter their mouths.

"Mother, Nai.. Come on!" exclaimed Samuel who seemed to be very caught off guard by this situation

Stella's mother smiled at the two neighbors and invited me inside.

"Assynnya!" greet me when I enter the house.

"Wa'alaikumsalam!" answered my mother who had just come out from the inside.

"Well Nai, is this Stella's mother?" ask mom to doubt. Mom did have a video call with Stella's mom, so she must know who is with me.

"Yes, Anisa. How are you?" ask Stella's mother who went in and approached my mother.

I'm glad Stella's mom and mom look familiar. They sit together and talk to each other. Soon, my father also came and greeted Stella's mother and Samuel. I talked to Samuel. While I prepared lunch for all of us.

While I was at the dinner table preparing dishes and drinks, I was asiatic as Ibras approached me.

"Sister, Samuel's mother is very beautiful. Still young again! If you have a son like Samuel, what age is the marriage? seventeen years, huh?" Ibras asked as he arranged the dishes on the table.

"Seven dozen years? can you get married?" ask me back.

"The old man mah, married him to a young young man kali sak. I am married to a nineteen year old!" yells.

But Stella's mother was able to tell that at the age of twenty-five she had even just met Damar's father.

"It looks like Bras did not, because it was. Stella's mother told me that she just met Samuel's father who was two and five!" my clear.

"Wah ageless means dong kak, rich people anyway huh. The treatment must be expensive!" amazed Ibras with sparkling eyes.

I think my sister would be surprised if I told her that I had also just done a treatment that cost so much money. And if I mentioned the nominal, I'm sure Ibras will be a statue in ten minutes.

"Sister, is this a beefy chicken for lunch?" Ibras asked while taking out the contents inside the food box.

I nodded my head quickly. And Ibras seemed to be in disbelief.

"Ibras thought Samuel's food was different from ours, it was the same!" say it while chuckling.

I scrunched my forehead yet to understand, what Ibras meant.

"Ibras thought the rich man's food was different!" continued again.

"What do you think rich people eat? the diamonds?" ask me while laughing.

"Will not be full Bras, they're just like us, eating rice too!" continue me.
