Rein can only gape when the three people stare straight at him. A look that demands clarity. As if signaling the end of life is in sight.
Exaggerated, but that's how it is.
The drama of life is so loud that people want nonsense?
"So what's your answer."
"I'm just an orphan who works as a freelance writer and translator, Uncle. At least think about it, don't regret choosing the wrong son-in-law. Rich people are selective," Rein squeaked softly with her face lowered deeply.
She knows where she is and where she stands. Someone who would very rarely be able to live a 'normal' life if stuck in that position.
Hey, Rein is a freelance writer.
She is not bound by an exclusive contract with any party. For that Rein is free to do anything. Even if she works in many places of writing, she is free.
Then all the stories and writings that she made, which one is in their current position.
Nonsense!
Rein upholds the name of reality. She is realistic.
"That's right, most people from the upper classes are selective. But you are the first to have an 'intimate' relationship with my son, I will agree," said the head of the Sanjaya family.
Rein secretly grimaced. Getting here the more unacceptable. Isn't the family in front of him normal?
"Not afraid if I take advantage of the situation. There are many women like that," said Rein again.
What was the girl thinking?
Want to be accounted for responsibility, or live as usual?
Normal without 'imaginary' interference.
It's impossible.
Hope nothing will 'grow' in her. Then even if there was, Rein would probably be self-isolating.
Married on paper or just status, is the worst thing that a woman can imagine. Last option. Can't even imagine it, let alone happen.
What the hell!
Innocent people like Rein are just the way they are. Rein couldn't just think of that momentary impermanence. Especially fake. Once again, Rein had high regard for reality.
Truth.
"That's true. But... do you intend to do that, miss Rein Syakila?"
This time the one asking the question was Redis. In front of his parents, Redis had to 'fight.' Everything that is happening now is something he created. He made it.
Knowing Rein's name is very easy. Rich people are free.
If Rein dared to do anything, he would behead that person.
"No, but it doesn't make sense. I don't know what the future holds, but I'm not thinking about that right now. I just want my early life back."
Redis hit their head Rein, hear Rein's words which were so boring to him. Redis doesn't like to talk about offensive things at all.
Troubled.
Mrs. Sanjaya finally intervened. Smiling she spoke.
"At least try to get to know our family better, dear. That lasts until we find out if you're pregnant or not."
Rein averted her gaze, staring at Mrs. Sanjaya who was speaking.
So easy like running water.
The person's gaze looked gentle and warm at the same time.
Again random attitude, Rein became confused.
Does everyone in front of him have multiple personalities...?
Rein shook her head vigorously. What was she thinking?
"Okay," said Rein finally.
"But there's still something I want to ask you. Please understand and answer, all. How old is this Sir? If I was only 21 years old."
Redis gave a crisp laugh that was satirical. Enough, he's not a pedophile!!!
"Hahaha, you think I'm a pedophile? I'm only 27 years old. I don't know why Papa and Mama asked me to get married quickly, until look for a mate for me."
"Redis!" said the head of the family.
What Redis said suddenly pierced the recesses of Rein's heart. It turned out to be true, that was the reason Redis couldn't help but take herself as a random stepping stone.
Unfortunately, Rein's fate became a temporary escape. In this case, there will be no love. Hard to get that.
"Sorry, if that's the reason. I will be asked to sign a contract. A marriage agreement that determines how long the marriage is as well as various strict rules."
Redis couldn't understand what Rein's brain was made of.
Redis wanted to hit that narrow-minded head.
"Oh my God, it turns out that you are not only a writer. But a queen of drama," rebuked Redis expressionlessly.
The man was surprised, that in this modern era, there are still women who think classically. Hoping there is a prince on a white horse to pick him up. Narrow!!!
Hallo.
A little bit realistic.
"Redis."
The head of the Sanjaya family glared at Redis. The thing that made Redis snort in annoyance. He had to finish it now.
"Never mind, let me take care of the rest. She says yes, it means to agree."
After saying that Redis grabbed Rein's hand to follow with him. Not carrying, rather dragging.
Sadistic. That person has no feelings.
"Sir. You have no feelings!"
"Redis, back."
Regardless, Redis brought Rein back to the room they occupied earlier. Redis knew the voice was coming from his father.
But no. For today it is enough for him to be an obedient 'doggy'. Let his parents lose. It was just a parable when Redis was fed up.
"Relax Pa, Ma. I won't do anything bad."
Redis's face is like looking at an old, weathered, and shabby book. It's not worth reading anymore.
"Uncle, Aunt, this person is very cruel, please save me."
"Do not exaggerate!"
While dragging, he still managed to yell at Rein. Redis is feeling so wants the woman into the trash, or she drowned in the pool. Let it not appear again.
"Redis, be nice to Rein!"
Redis could still hear his mother's shrill voice. Noisy, Redis didn't like to hear that. But the person doesn't care about that at all.
Whatever.
All he did was keep walking away.
"You, will not be able to escape from me."
Redis' aura of intimidation came out perfectly. Stating he is not just anyone who can be fought.
"Sir, why don't you want to marry someone who is betrothed to you? Why did you choose me?" Rein asked as he managed to escape from Redis' grip.
It hurts.
It's just that now the two people are in the room where Redis locked the door. Then after that, Redis casually put the room key into his trouser pocket.
Male power is much greater than female. Then Rein only mastered basic martial techniques.
Hiks, the matter of energy is still far behind.
"I don't believe in love, sincerity, feelings, and all that. So you, don't trouble me."
"Who wants to trouble you. I want to go home!"
Now it was Rein's turn to scream. It's not just Redis who is upset, Rein is the same.
Can she come out!?
"Couldn't you scream?"
"No," Rein squeaked quietly.
"You're yelling at me too. Time, I can't."
Rein smirked in his heart. It's really bad luck, if you want to grumble, it's just kept tightly. Out of fear of being scolded.
At this time the tears again covered Rein's beautiful face.
How can a good person with such a normal life end up being miserable?
Past sins like what Rein did have to penetrate in this way.
Circumstances and fate are truly unfair.
"Hah."
A sigh immediately came out of Redis. He was sick of the colossal drama that Rein made. Redis was right that person was the queen of drama.
Redis want to get out of here immediately.
"Forget about the crazy drama in your narrow brain. I'm sorry to call you graduate cum laude. There's no marriage contract, agreement, or anything like that. We won't do it. Now you shut up and sit here. Don't go anywhere. I have to finish something."
"Am I left, sir?"
Without answering, Redis left the place. It's up to the woman, what the woman wants to do. What matters is that Redis has to work.
The person who loves money and work has to work overtime to prepare for the impromptu wedding day that will take place soon.
Now, Rein was left alone in a tightly locked room. Why didn't just break through?
Push Redis and Rein run fast.
Rein can see that there is food on the nightstand.
One thing that immediately mastered the person's mind, since when was there food there?
"Hiks, my bad luck. Now, what will happen? Hiks." Rein muttered looking tired.
"Meri, she must be really worried about my condition. Ah... what should I do? Even eating is tasteless. Oh my God."
***
Meanwhile, Redis was already at the place he used to use as a workspace. No matter what happened, the young man tried to focus. Even though it's hard.
Work is everything.
"Damn it, what happened to my life? That freak, I have to 'end up with her?"
Brak!
Redis hitting the table hard. It doesn't matter the pain that radiates in the palm that feels throbbing in pain.
He's fed up!
"I won't let a stranger control my life. She's just a poor guy for coming into my life. I'm free to do whatever I want. We'll see," Redis grumbled, clenching his fists tightly.
Then not long after that, a cell phone rang. While muttering because his activities of talking to himself were interrupted, Redis also picked up the cellphone.
Before picking up the phone, he still had time to grunt.
"Aish, who's calling at this time of night!? If it's Rey, I'll make sure to break his hand if it's not for an important matter."
Cruel isn't it?
The expression on Redis' face was instantly cold, as cold as ice at the North Pole. The person who called was Radit, the cousin that Redis hated so much.
Like sworn enemies.
In other words, in action, without wasting much time, Redis finally picked up the phone.
[Hello, cousin.]
[What's?]
[Get ready, tomorrow at 3.30 my family will visit your house.]
No response from Redis. Regardless of what the person said, it was clear that Redis didn't care at all.
[Oh yeah, I heard you're getting married, is that true?]
Redis's jaw tightened with fists tightly clenched. For Redis, Radit always wants to win from him in all fields.
Not infrequently willing to do dirty and disgusting ways.
How will Redis react if Radit plans to interfere?
Meanwhile, that person, Rein, had no respect from a Redis.
Just a foreign woman.
