"All we want is to rent a womb. If the intention is only to kill, we might as well kidnap you, Embun, from the start. There's no need to bother negotiating like this." Pandu is no less resourceful to answer.
Hmmm, that's right, thought Embun.
"After giving birth, I can't see my baby at all?"
"Not at all. This is to protect the risk of you are not being able to bear it and others," said Pandu.
Crazy. It turns out this girl can calmly discuss the agreement. It seemed she was interested in cooperating. I never thought it would be this easy, said Pandu in his heart.
"All my needs will be met during pregnancy. I can't leave the villa at all?" Embun's gaze was still stuck in the row of letters, ignoring Pandu who continued to stare at her with admiration.
"Stress should be avoided by pregnant women. So, you may go out for walks, but may not meet and communicate with anyone you know. There will be people who accompany you while at the villa, also for sightseeing. He will also ensure that your needs are met, monitoring the health of you and the fetus as well. Remember, this is their fetus. They want their baby to grow up healthy and with no problems." Pandu reiterated.
"In that case, I ask that the villa prepared for me is outside Java. Yes, to avoid accidentally meeting people I know. If we're still around Jakarta, I think it's will be possible to accidentally meet people I know or know me."
Embun thought if she accepted this offer, Alaska would definitely be the major obstacle. If you have to jump, then jump. Cannot be overbearing. Al could have been looking for her everywhere. Even crazier, Al could have spread her photo everywhere. Of course, it's not safe if it's still around Jakarta.
"However, the doctor who will treat you is in Jakarta. Mmmh, let me talk to the tenants later, okay? But your suggestion is excellent too, actually." Pandu was even more amazed by the girl's meticulous thinking.
"Lampung is near to Jakarta. The plane ride is also less than an hour. It seems, Lampung will be the most appropriate choice of location. I want a villa by the beach in Lampung." Embun makes a suggestion. "After all, it's not every day to check with the doctor, right? I think it's still very possible. I prefer a beachfront villa to a hillside."
"Okay, Miss. I will present later. There are more?" Pandu drank mineral water directly from the bottle. Suddenly, his throat felt dry seeing Embun's attitude and all the words that the girl had launched.
Embun chose Lampung because several times she had a small talk with guests while at work. She got a lot of information from there. So, she knew it would not take long to travel by plane from Jakarta to Lampung.
Lampung has several villa areas that are quiet and very private. Perfect for secluded yourself for a while without feeling bored. Not a mall or other place Embun wants to go to. She wants a quiet, natural atmosphere.
"My last condition, I want to talk to the doctor who will handle this problem," said Embun as she put the agreement paper back into the envelope. She handed back the brown envelope to Pandu.
"Why do you have to see a doctor first?" Pandu was surprised by Embun's last request.
"I want to make sure my body is healthy and, of course, consult with him. I want to speak to the doctor alone. Only two of. If the doctor declares that I am eligible for this agreement, God willing, I will sign this agreement immediately. After I signed, I asked for an advance payment of one billion rupiah. The rest can be paid after I give birth."
Pandu gasped, looking at Embun. The girl could say all the sentences calmly, as if she was talking about a story in a novel. In fact, this is a big decision about her life. She didn't seem burdened at all.
"Down payment?" Pandu frowned.
"Yes. You guys have investigated me. Surely you already know that I have a lot of debt that must be paid off immediately. I need that down payment to get things done before I disappear. I have to be the responsible person. It's impossible to run away and forget about debt, just like that. Other than that, I don't want to think about anything. I want to live this agreement in peace. After the agreement, I will also arrange my life again. Like I said earlier, my dream is to finish college, then work in peace. I admit, my life is hard right now. I'm in a pinch.
This agreement is arguably a blessing and a sudden help I didn't expect at all. This collaboration gave me hope that in the future I could finish my studies without worrying about the cost, then look for and get a job, live a quiet life. Therefore, you don't need to worry. I want this agreement to be done well. It's mutually beneficial for all parties."
Yes, just renting out a womb. How hard is it for her? So thought Embun. After all, only borrowed briefly. Not even a year. However, this collaboration will change her life drastically. She lived in peace, even forever. All debt problems can be solved. The problem of tuition fees will also be resolved. No one harmed.
"I understand. The debt is not ex. So, it should not be forgotten arbitrarily. I think the tenants will also agree on this. I dare to give a guarantee. They won't mind," answered Pandu reassuringly.
"Fortunately, I've never had an ex." That girl smiled in response to Pandu's words.
"Wow, it means that you have never been in a relationship? Thankfully, you don't feel lost. Boyfriends are like pens in class, Mbun. If it's not lost, it's taken by a friend." Pandu chuckled.
This girl can still relax and joke in a situation like this. Truly a strong girl, even though she has lived hard for a long time, Pandu praised in his heart.
