Chapter 3 - Waiting for her response

Angela surprised. 

This is the first time there were someone think their matchmaking agency is wasting time.  

Her brother have been worked hard to build a good image of this company, but now that possibility will just disappear!  

One bad review will definitely cause another bad review in the future. 

Moreover, this company is like proving to his mother and father that she and her brother are capable of becoming the head of the company without any interference of their family's wealth.  

Angela does not accept!  She does not want to let the image of their company destroyed, she is prevented Alika from leaving.  She held Alika's hand.  

"Wait a minute.. do you really not intend to look at the biodata of the candidates? Maybe there is something that interests you."  asked Angela.  

"I don't intend to waste my time. What if all the people in biodata candidate nothing interests me? Hmm? Can you repay the rest of my time I've spent here?"  asked Alika.  

Angela was silent. Alika walked out, step by step.  But after only a few steps, Angela spoke again.  

"What criteria do you want?"  asked Angela which immediately made Alika stop her walk and turn her body backwards, facing Angela.  

"Five criteria."  said Alika   The next morning, in her office. Alika looks busy with her work, typing something in her notebook with her ten fingers so fast, as if she already used to typing in such time. In fact, from four hours ago she is like this. Actually there is a reason behind her actions. That reason is, she want to finish her task quickly so that can't be a nuisance when she got news from Angel's cupid for her return to that matchmaking agency. 

Alika finally ended her typing with a dot, saved and folded the notebook quickly.  She leaned her back to the chair and began relax. Her eyes keep staring upon the ceiling.

Alika re-imagined what happened yesterday between herself and Angela.   She fills in her biodata about everything include her life, five criteria she wants, her motivation, bio, and dreams. 

The biodata is so detail that Alika felt very lazy to fill it out, moreover Albert didn't come into the room either, so she couldn't just ask Albert to fill it out. Alika added that she will pay 500 million to the matchmaking agency, as long as she can find a husband who meets all the criteria and can be relied on. 

She said Angela would call her again tomorrow. But now, Alika, who had been waiting for Angela's call, didn't even hear the sound of her cell phone ringing.   Is it possible that Angela forgot? 

Or maybe she just couldn't find a husband who met her criteria?! 

Alika felt embarrassed, it seemed that she indeed wrong to have wasted more than two hours there without any clear certainty.  

It sucks.  

Alika look at her cellphone with anxious, she feel that is not useful for expecting more from the matchmaking agency.  

Now is the time to face the reality... that she would have to admit defeated by Andrew, if she couldn't prove her swear two days ago on her ex husband's wedding day. 

While she keep staring at the cellphone, suddenly there is a call from an unknown number.  Alika was surprised, who actually called her with an unknown number?  

Could it be a prankster?   But what if it was an important person including Angela?  Ahh right... this must be Angela!  

Alika who is very sure it was Angela, quickly eceived the call. 

"Yes, hello?"  said Alika. But after that person spoke, Alika immediately wipr her face and sighed. 

"Sorry but I already have an insurance. And won't be switching to another insurance for a long time. Thank you."  said Alika quickly turned off the phone.

Alika leaned her face on table, feeling so nervous. She wasn't sure if her wish to have a husband would be that easy.

Suddenly her cell phone rang again, Alika is too lazy but eventually she received the call. She held the phone to ear. 

"What's more, sis? I said I don't need insurance."  said Alika, who still thought the call was from a company that offered insurance.

"Sorry ma'am, but I'm not from the insurance company. I'm Angela."  said a voice from opposite telephone.

Alika suddenly surpised.  

"Angela from Angela's Cupid?"  asked Alika.   "Yes, ma'am. I want to convey, if I have found a man who fits the criteria you want."  said Angela.  

Alika felt very happy, the look on her face that was originally gloomy now looked excited.  

"Seriously? That's really what I want right? And he's willing to marry me on a contract, right?"  asked Alika.  

"Yes ma'am, although this is the first time we have a contract marriage system, everything is according to what you want and arranges. But there is one thing ma'am..." said Angela. 

"Just say it."  

"Do you think it's okay if this man are someone who doesn't have a job?"  asked Angela.  

"It's okay. Even from the start I never had a problem with my future husband's economic background. Even in my bio I wrote that I would pay for all my husband's needs and it doesn't matter if my future husband burdened me with all financial matters. Even if he is still in college, I will help pay for it until he graduates. Or even if he is unemployed. I even suggest him to have fun in my house. I just need his acting as a good husband."  said Alika.  

"Okay ma'am."  said Angela, she also say.

"Can you give your time now? Because that man is waiting for you here. Also too quickly resolve this case and the contract issue. I suggest that you bring the marriage contract here as well."  asked Angela.  

"Okay, I'll bring it."  said Alika until she hung up the phone, with happy face. Albert, who saw this rare intense, then silently watched her and looked at that woman with straight face.  He then said. 

"Looks like it's going to rain heavily after this, seeing you so excited like that makes me worried the world will be alright soon."  said Albert.  

"Come on, what's wrong with being a little excited? Wouldn't the world will be more good when we live with this feeling excited?" said Alika.  

"Did Andrew just told you that his wife had an accident?"  asked Albert who thought that it maybe there is an accident with Rachel that make Alika feel so excited.  

"Hey, this has nothing to do with them."  replied Alika.   "So?"  asked Albert.  

"I've found a husband that fit my criteria!!"  said Alika.  Albert just confirmed her words and still had a straight face.  He sighed after that.  

Alika realize his sighing with a face that didn't give any emotion and as flat as a highway. Alika suspects if Albert is jealous about her who finally found a husband.  Alika proudly said. 

"Why are you sighing hmm? Jealous huh, that i have a partner?"  asked Alika.
