Auction Husband
The Battle Begins
I reached into the cell phone in the bag, stirring the contents until I grasped the flat object. Take it out nervously and open the conversation app to the foreign number that sent me the announcement.
I was upset when I realized that time was moving on. The threat of not coming too late haunts me. It shouldn't be a late category right now, should it? For I was outside the gate of that house ten minutes ago. Yeah, five minutes left until the numbers change to 09:00.
I gave the phone to the man who was still waiting for my answer, showed the contents of the message on the screen and asked who to meet. Then, the man told me to come in to wait for a while in the security room. He contacted someone there. Then, the man told me to go into the house escorted by him.
Right, ‘kan, it took me a few minutes to get to the main door of the big house painted gray. The large green courtyard does not seem suitable for walking. I'm sure the occupants of that house never walk here.
I stood with a breath. Not yet finished breathing, the tall door had opened wide, displaying the figure of a middle-aged woman. The old woman bowed the respect I replied with a polite nod. Then, he told me to follow him to enter the mansion.
Too bad, I did not have time to pay attention to the contents in the house, because the anxiety that suddenly ambushed me made me busy with my own thoughts. My eyes caught a big fancy light hanging over the living room. However, it seems like our goal is not in this big room.
The woman continued to step up the stairs. Without asking, I followed in his footsteps from behind. Then, I turned to the right until at the end of the room the woman stopped in front of the black-painted door with a dragon carving there. Classic carving, but it was creepy to me.
“Please, Ma'am. Already awaited.” After letting myself in, the woman walked away.
I knocked for a while before opening the door. My body was transfixed when I saw a young man sitting on a chair with both hands clutched together on the table. The man I'm estimating is in his thirties or maybe the same age as Mas Wira - Amanda's husband - his face is pure white. Mosquitoes will slip if it reaches the face it. ups. Think what, anyway, Ayna?
“Excuse me, Sir,” gently sweep while nodding respectfully.
“Hm.” The man only replied with a slow demeanor. Ugh, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle hunting prey.
“Include, I am Ayna Larasati twenty-four years old, single. Student work final semester.” I introduced myself before the man asked.
“Sit,” he said firmly.
I stepped wide near the chair in front of the man and shifted the chair slightly to sit there. I cleared my throat slowly to restore the sound that felt lost.
“I've read your file, no need to mince words introduce yourself.” The man's words kept my face hot from embarrassment.
“I am here to confirm the applicable regulations. When you have entered the application file to us, then can not resign.” My eyes gnawed at the words of the man in front of it. “That's the sign, you agree with all the rules and consequences,” he continued.
I closed my eyes. My history is over.
A few seconds of silence, quoting as a form of opportunity for myself to speak. “Then, what is my duty?” tanyaku carefully.
“You will take care of this house with its owner.”
“So, I have to take care of you, Sir?”
If you take care of this handsome guy's needs, I want to. Easy! I smiled thinly.
“I only workers here.”
“Ha?” My eyes are shocked. If the workers are creepy like this, what about the owner of the house? Yes, he is handsome, but still creepy. His gaze seemed to be skinning me all out.
“But it is worth trying how you can take good care of me. Bed tests, for example.” A sly grin as well as an understatement was clearly imprinted on his face.
“A-what do you mean, Sir? Aren't we both workers here.” I've prepared with standby mode. Cook should deal directly with the bed. Can't be allowed. I, ‘kan, have no experience with that.
“You will not be able to reach the next stage if not pass here ...”
“So, that means I have to serve you on ... bed?”
“Ya,” his short answer that suddenly made me cringe.
Okay. If this should happen now. I have to make sure of something first.
“What about that hundred and fifty million? When can I get?” ask me with an expression that I make as calm as possible. He cannot see the fear in me.
Who would have thought, the man laughed out loud. “I didn't expect, you have this much guts,” he said as his laughter stopped.
“I need that money,” ketusku.
Oh, so I have to take care of the young master.
“Listen! That money you can get as soon as ..”
“When?” as if. “I need in this week. And I make sure you won't regret having received me here,” I continued trying to convince him.
After the deal I got. I'm gonna sell this house and run as far away as I can.
“Can be set, on condition you have to serve me in bed.” I hate to see that sneaky grin.
“What is not included with treason?” I waited for the man's response. He was silent, it was a sign that he was waiting for the continuation of my sentence. “Are you not just a worker in this house. Your master who is entitled to my life because I intend with a home auction and its contents in accordance with the announcement I received,” continued firmly.
“You're so brave, yes. Didn't I tell you? If I were to determine whether you can go to the next stage or not. Which means, your life is now in my hands.” He smiled slanted.
“What should I do?” askaku died a flea. I could no longer utter a sentence to refute the man's argument.
The well-dressed man stood up. From his appearance no one would believe if he was just a worker. Fashionable, neat, handsome, charming, a very fitting blend.
I followed his long steps behind. Get out of the room and take me to another room. From the outside all looked the same, the door was closed with the size of a dragon. However, when the door opened, one impression stuck in my head right now that this room was more sinister than the first one. All are all black, no other color alloy is brighter. Even for the size of the sofa and the table was black. There was a beautiful woman sitting on the sofa in black.
“Excuse me, Mistress. The woman has come,” said the man slowly and politely.
“Tell him to sit down, Reno!” he gave orders.
Oh, that guy's name is Reno.
“Mrs told you to sit down,” Reno said turning to me.
I smiled back at his gaze and said softly, “Thank you, Reno.” The man's expression looked shocked, but he didn't say anything. After saying goodbye to the woman, Reno walked away.
I sat in front of the woman with both hands clinging to each other on my lap. It was fortunate that there was a table between us, so he didn't have to look at my feet that were moving restlessly.
“Reno already told you the rules?” ask the woman in a flat tone.
“Already, Madam,” I replied while nodding.
“Your experiment for three months. And you can't back down, if you back out you have to pay double the compensation. Money is paid tomorrow and you stay in this house from now on. One more, do not expect to be out of this house after entering,” he explained without breaking up and without mercy.
I swallowed with difficulty. Right now, it feels like the angel of life has prepared to take my life to make him divorced.
“But ... I don't bring clothes, Mistress,” I said as lives regrouped.
“Many clothes here.”
“And if my son does not like you, you must be prepared with the consequences.”
“What is it, Mistress?”
“I'll make your life like a street dog.”
How could there be such a cruel person in this world? I thought, my family was cruel enough to have abandoned me. Well, it doesn't matter here or out there my life is meaningless. The most important thing is that I can redeem the mortgaged inheritance house.
“But, I need another fifty million, His. The money you give is not enough to redeem my debt,” I said negotiate.
“No problem. This house will be yours if you succeed. That means, you must be ready to be my son's wife.”
Whahuh? Child's wife? Don't get any worse than this woman. He's the one I have to take care of, ‘kan?
“Your experiment accelerated, just one week to get your money it.” The woman's decision changed even when we hadn't walked out of this room.
