3. REPLACEMENT ONLY

Anya was shocked when she heard the words of the lecturer who was famous for his discipline and expressionless look. The man with a profession as a lecturer, easily invited Anya to get married. Anya, a beautiful and sweet girl, has only been busy studying and earning money, so she has never once felt the beauty of a romantic relationship with a man, was very surprised by the invitation of the man who was sitting in the driver's seat.

"What did you say? Getting married? Didn't I hear you wrong, sir?" Anya asked, confirming the truth about Dimas' words.

"You didn't hear me wrong, An, I asked you to get married."

"Why, sir? You and I don't have any relationship, why would you ask me to marry you?" Anya asked again. Let her be called chatty, the important thing was that she didn't fall for Dimas' trickery. It was enough that the girl felt stupid and hurt by being deceived by Angel.

"Yes, the reason is so that I will keep my mouth shut about your behavior at the bar and if you do agree to marry me, then you won't have to pay for the watches I gave to those three ugly men."

"I don't want to marry you. Marriage is not a game, sir. You should marry the person you love, not me who is just your student," Anya refused, not wanting to play with a sacred bond called marriage.

"I want that too, An, to marry the woman I love, but God doesn't seem to like seeing me happy, so He's pressured me to get married. Just so you know, I was also forced to ask you to marry me."

"You can't blame God in any situation because God knows what is best for His servants."

Anya, who grew up in a simple family, but understood the teachings of her religion, gave a little advice to the lecturer.

"Alahh ... you don't need to advise me. You are just a student while I am your lecturer. So, you don't need to be pretentious to teach me."

Patience, An, patience, patient people are dear to God. Anya reassured herself in her heart.

"I'm sorry if you don't like what I just said, but I've decided not to accept your offer."

"Oh, I don't mind if you don't want to marry me, then you have to be ready to quit college and see the disappointed faces of your parents," Dimas said casually, even though his words implied a threat to Anya.

The girl named Anya was currently feeling very confused by the situation. On the one hand, she didn't want to play with a marriage, but on the other hand, she was also not willing to quit college and see her parents disappointed with the actions that could tarnish their good name, even though it was all Angel's doing.

"Take it easy, Anya, you can just marry me for a while."

"What do you mean?"

"I already have a lover and intend to marry him, but due to urgent circumstances and it is not possible for me to marry my lover, so I ask you to marry me."

One conclusion Anya could draw from Dimas' words was that her lecturer was insane. He should have married his girlfriend instead of asking her to marry him.

"Well, you already have a girlfriend, so why ask me to marry you? Just ask your lover."

"If people talk to you, listen to them properly first, don't just go in the right ear and out the left ear. I told you earlier that because of the urgency of the situation and the fact that it is not possible to marry him shortly, that's why I need you to temporarily replace his position," said the handsome lecturer, who looked annoyed with Anya.

"As a substitute? What does that mean, sir?" asked Anya who was increasingly confused by their conversation.

"I'll explain everything, you listen carefully. Don't ask questions if I haven't permitted you."

Anya just nodded in response to the man's words. Fortunately, Anya still remembered that Dimas was her lecturer. Otherwise, she might have landed a slap on the cheek of the handsome lecturer.

"I already have a girlfriend named Anna. We've been in a relationship for the past two years, but I've never introduced her to my family. Now my parents have insisted and given me three days to bring Anna home to discuss our relationship. If I can't bring Anna to my family within three days, then I will be married off to my papa's coworker's daughter. You must know that if I get married to my papa's coworker's daughter, it means that I can no longer be married to Anna because it could damage the cooperation between the two parties, so I need you to replace Anna temporarily, after that we will divorce. At this point, have you understood? Is there anything you want to ask?"

"What's the reason you can't ask Anna to marry you? What's wrong with her, sir? I'm sorry sir, I need to know everything clearly, then I can decide whether or not to accept your offer."

"Okay, I'll tell you everything. I hope you agree to my offer because all of this is also for your own good. If you don't want to marry me, then get ready to stop being a student and maybe even get kicked out of the house."

Good looks, but poor morals, Anya thought.

"Anna is currently lying in a coma in the hospital because of an accident two days ago and I can't wait for her to wake up, because the time given by my parents is only three days. I love Anna very much, that's why I want to marry you so that you can temporarily replace Anna until she wakes up from her coma. After that, we will get divorced and then I will marry Anna. You can rest assured that as long as you are my wife, I will fulfill all the needs of you and your family. It's not bad for your poor lives."

"Just so you know, even though we are poor people, we have never taken advantage of others like you are doing to me right now."

"Whatever you want to say, I don't care, the most important thing is that I want to know whether or not you agree with my offer after hearing all the explanations and seeing these photos."

The man, a lecturer, showed the screen of his cell phone in front of Anya's face which managed to make the girl surprised, even Anya's eyes opened wide when she saw what was displayed on the screen of her cell phone.

"What is this, sir? Why do you have that picture?" asked Anya, who was shocked to see a picture of herself on Dimas' phone.

"Never mind, now just make your choice. Will you marry me or not?" said the handsome lecturer with a smirk on his face.
