I'm Not a Pay Wife
Forced

“Assalamualaikum Ma...” said Nayla while kissing her mother's hand.

“Waalaikumsalam There was a bright smile on Ms. Neneng's face.

“Mother why is it outside?” ask Nayla.

Unlike usual, Ms. Neneng sat on the porch of her house. Usually at this hour when Nayla comes home from work, Ms. Neneng must be watching TV to see her favorite senetron.

Nayla herself worked as a shopkeeper in a shop owned by a friend of Neneng's since she graduated high school until now and has been almost seven years. The work that Nayla is very engaged in makes her feel at home for a long time working there. Even though the salary is not much, Nayla is very happy to do it.

While the activities of bu Neneng daily make wet cakes and delivered to the stalls around his residence.

Since Nayla finished High School, Ms. Neneng refused help from Mr. Mahendra's family because she did not want to owe too much.

“You go in the clean-up first, later someone wants you to tell me about it.”

“About what Bu?” ask Nayla curiously.

“Have gone in there and bathed first,” pinta bu Neneng on her daughter.

Nayla also curiously entered the house and took a bath. Not long ago Nayla was out of her room and immediately approached her mother who was still sitting on the front porch.

“Bu, now Nayla has taken a shower. Now Mom tell me,” said Nayla curiously and sat down next to her mother.

There was a happy smile on Ms. Neneng's face.

“Tadi pak Mahendra kemari..” said bu Neneng cut off.

“How are you Mr Mahendra, Bu?”

“Pak Mahendra is fine.”

“Thank God it was like that. What is the need, Mahendra, Ma?”

“Pardon Mother before yes...” said bu Neneng.

Nayla diligently listened to her mother's words even though she could not wait for the continuation of her mother's story.

“Destination sir Mahendra wants to apply for you to be his son-in-law.”

“What?” nayla was surprised.

“Iya Nak, sir Mahendra wants you to be his wife Reza.”

“Then I answer what?”

“Mother has not given a decision because everything is in your hands Nay.”

Nayla was silent while thinking for a moment between accepting or rejecting him. He felt confused because he did not know the name Reza. Only met a few times when there was an event at the house of Mr. Mahendra. It was also because it was forced by Mr. Mahendra to come to his house. Since his father died, Mr. Mahendra has always given monthly money to his family.

“Mother does not make you Nay, because you will live it. Everything mother leave to you,” said Ms. Neneng while stroking her daughter's head.

“What do you think about Mom? Nayla is also confused Bu.”

“If you agree with Mr. Mahendra's wishes, but now it depends on you Nay.”

“But Nayla does not know her son Mr. Mahendra, Bu.”

“If the problem is easy Nay. Later if after marriage you know each other.”

“What might be the son of Mr. Mahendra want to be with Nayla while Nayla just graduated from SMA Bu, or maybe this is the will of Mr. Mahendra alone Bu.”

“That's a problem I don't know, but it looks like Mr. Mahendra really wants you to be his son-in-law Nay.”

“Mother is also confused and reluctant to refuse the wishes of Mr. Mahendra, because all this time Mr. Mahendra has helped us a lot. But all of this I give back to you Nay.”

“True Bu, Nayla is also reluctant to refuse it. But Nayla Mash doubted that her son, Mr. Mahendra, did want to be with Nayla because his son, Mr. Mahendra, graduated from abroad to undergraduate. She must have had a boyfriend there, ma'am.”

“If you are doubtful and confused, you will pray prayer istigharah ask for guidance with Allah.”

Nayla then went into her room. Inside Nayla's room thought about her mother's words just now. He felt confused and hesitant to accept Mr. Mahendra's request. Nayla who just graduated from High School felt inferior if she married the son of Mr. Mahendra who graduated from abroad again. Surely he will be looked down upon by the future husband

Reza who was confused by the request of her papa could only ponder inside her room.

‘I wouldn't have possibly left Vera so easily, while our relationship had been very long. We are even planning to get married next year. How does Vera feel when she hears that I'm married to another woman. He will be angry even if all this is not my will. What I should do. Did I tell her that this marriage was forced. Then I have to see Vera right now.’

Reza immediately got out of bed and out of his room.

“Where are you going to Za?” ask Reza's mom when she crosses paths.

“Reza wants to come out for a minute Mi. Reza wants to see Reza's friends first,” said Reza and hurriedly left.

“Do not long ago Darling.”

“Iya Mi,” says Reza.

Reza drove his motorcycle at high speed to get to Vera's house. Not long after Reza had arrived at Vera's house. Vera was surprised because Reza did not pre-announce it if he wanted to come.

“Kok tumben do not tell you first if you want to come. Come on in,” pinta Vera let Reza in.

“We chat outside yes. Come now ride,” pinta Reza hurry.

“What's Za?” ask Vera in wonder.

“Come aboard, I'll tell you.”

Without dodging Vera went straight up and sat in the back seat of her motorcycle. Reza immediately drove his vehicle through a crowded street. Vera who was behind him immediately held tightly onto Reza's waist. There is a feeling of fear that overcomes his feelings because it is not as usual Reza carries a vehicle as fast as this.

“Za, do not speed,” said Vera in Reza's ear, but Reza did not care.

Not long after, they arrived at a cafe. Then they went in and looked for a seat.

“Actually what is Za?” ask Vera after sitting down.

Reza was still silent yet unable to explain the problem he was facing.

“Za, try you the story I definitely heard and hopefully I can help you.”

Then Reza began to tell her papa's wishes for her to marry Nayla. Vera was immediately shocked and angry.

“What? So you accept your papi request?”

“I'm sorry Ver. But there is no other way but to obey my will. All this for our happiness too.”

“What happiness do you mean Za? Seeing you marry another woman, what do you think is happiness. No Za, I can't take all this.”

Vera immediately cried making Reza even more confused. Reza immediately clasped the girl's hand while whispering, “but all this is only temporary Dear.”

“While it may be, I cannot see you marrying another woman Za,”.

“You must believe what I said dear. After I have the papi company, I will marry you as soon as possible,” Reza persuaded.

“When did your papi company fall into your hands?”

“After I get married then papi will drop his entire fortune for me because I am an only child, dear.”

Vera's eyes immediately opened perfectly because they were tucked away with satisfaction and were happy to have the legacy of Reza's parents.

“How could you possibly keep your promise Za?” ask Vera not to believe it.

“Trust me dearly,” said Reza stroking Vera's head gently and then peeling the girl's forehead to convince her.
