Bikin pikiran Gua ngeres aje!" Bang Urip sampai ternganga seolah Marni masih ada dipelupuk matanya. "Duh Gusti, tak kelonin bawaannya kalo lihat si Marni!" Joko mengusap dadanya namun entah apa yang dibayangkan hingga juniornya ikut upacara. "Rip! Ko! Lah Marninya udah ga ada! Da Kalian kenapa atuh masih mandangin jalan. Mana Lu Ko, itu Otong diamanin! Baperan amat! Gitu aja bangun!" Urip melirik kearah celana Joko yang memang sudah menonjol, "Buseng dah Ko! Lu Engas banget jadi laki! Ngeri dah!" "Loh! Ya Aku kok ditinggalin! Gawat ini! Telat bisa dipecat sama mandor!" Joko berlari menyusul kedua rekan sesama kuli kembali ke protek tempat Mereka mengaus rezeki. Sementara Marni melanjutkan keliling Kampung menjajakan Jamunya.

Seorang wanita memanggil Marni. Tentu saja senyuman Marni merekah. Cuan datang senyumpun mengembang. "Mar ada Jamu apa?" Si Wanita melirik pada vakul jamu Marni yang berisi banyak botol-botol dengan beragam warna. "Yo macem-macem Mbakyu yang cantik. Mvakyunya mau jamu opo toh? Ada Jamu Galian Putri. Jamu Galian Singset, Jamu Sari Rapet, atau ini rahasia tapi wes tak kasih bocoran buat si Mbaknya, Ramuan Madura Asli, bikin rapet, keset dan greget!" Kalimat terakhir Marni bisikan meski terdengar juga. "Serius itu Mar. Khasiatnya Oke ga!" Penasaran dong si Wanita dibuat oleh Marni. "Ck, dijamin, manuk'e si Mas kalo masuk bisa kelojotan kalo Mbakyunya habis minim ini." Setelah membisikan kata-kata fantastis Marni mengedipkan mata pada si pelanggan. "Boleh deh. Cuba satu!" "Siap! Tak racikin dulu. Mbaknya sabar ya." Marni dengan piawai meracikan Jamu pelanggan sang Pelanggan. "langsung diminum selagi anget. Wes tunggu 1 jam kalo mau tempur.

Ekspresi mencebik setelah menuntaskan segelas Jamu Pamungkas yang diberikan Marni. "Ini, minum dulu. Biar pahitnya ilang."

"Dah sana Mar, keliling lagi!" "Lah ini juga mau keliling. Makasi Mbakyu, semoga langganan terus yo!" Marni tak ambil pusing dengan semua ucapan apapun yang diucapkan para pelanggannya. Bagi Marni selama Jamu jualannya laris manis, pulang botol kosong bawa duit banyak sudah bikin Marni bahagia. Walaupun tak sedikit cemoohan dan stigma negatif yang disudutkan kepadanya. Tapi Marni tetap cuek saja. Karena baginya yang penting jamunya laris dan cuan. Di otak Marni hanya ada Cuan, Cuan dan Cuan. "Alhamdulillah. Laris manis tanjung kimpul. Jamune laris, duite kumpul! Ah senengnya Aku. Wes pulang sekalian belanja bahan bikin Jamu." Marni yang duduk dibawah pohon sambil membuat air bilasan gelas yang sudah bersih. Botol-botol kosong yang ada dalam bakul gendongan kembali ringan tak seberat saat baru keluar karena penuh terisi Jamu. Berganti dompet kain batik milik Marni yang kini penuh hasil berjualan Jamunya dari pagi hingga tengah hari. "Alhamdulillah. Setiap hari begini. Tapi kok yo Marni ga kaya-kaya ya. Lah mau beli motor second aja belum keturutan." "Wes lah. Sing penting buat bayar kontrakan ada, makan yang lumayanlah walau ikan asin lagi-ikan asin lagi. Cuma ini kenapa Tabung Gas Melon pake acara langka. Marni bingung gimana kalo susah beli Gas nanti godog Jamunya mesti cari Kayu bakar." "Lagi Pemerintah yo Ada aja, tabung Gas Melon pake acara distop. Yo Marni mana mampu beli yang tabung gede. Apalagi yang warna pink. Muahal! Nanti kalo Jamunya naik ya langganan Marni kabur! Mestinya Bapak Presiden ngundang Marni biar denger keluhan penjual Jamu kayak Marni."Mia's POV"Ladies and gentlemen, the renowned artist who came hand in hand with the owner of ALM industries and Hamilton's Enterprise, Mia Andres ". The master of ceremonies of the event announced as I walked on the red carpet and into the event hall. Claps sounded from every corner of the room, and I smiled, waving the guest with my left hand, while my right was held by Alexander who was walking right beside me. " O. M. G, that's Alexander Hamilton". A group of women exclaimed jumping up and down like over excited teenagers. " Really? He is so hot!" Another person in their group said eyeing Alexander. I held his hand even tighter in mine before throwing the women a small smirk and then walking pass them with Alexander and Josh who was behind him. We walked pass them, and after a few more minutes of waving, settled at a far corner. " Imagine how those girls were looking at you just now " I huffed, still glaring at them. " It was almost as if they wanted to eat you alive ". Alexa
Mia's POVHe was here, right here. He came for me. I stared at Alexander who also was staring back at me.His black orbs were staring straight at me as we walked forward. For the first time since I knew him, I was able to read every single emotion in them. Anger, hurt, worry, guilt... And the one I had gotten so familiar with over the last few days before Verona destroyed everything, love. " Alexander". I muttered as I blinked back the tears that had began forming again in my eyes. " Mia, are you alright?" Alexander asked walking towards me. When Gregory and Killian dragged me here, I didn't cry. After getting slapped by both of them, I still didn't cry. Even when my hands felt numb because I've been up here for a few hours now, I still didn't cry... But now, just seeing Alexander's face and hearing his voice which was filled with so much concern for me, and my were already getting teary. " Stop right were you are " Gregory commanded pulling a gun from behind his pants. " Wha
Mia's POVMy cheeks stinged even more and I winced in pain growling under my breath. My entire face felt so sore. Why wouldn't it, in the last hour I had been slapped more than five times by Gregory's huge hands. It was a miracle my head was still stuck to my body right now. And my hands... I wiggled my hands which were handing just above me firmly tied together with a strong rope. The only difference from how I looked right now and a picture of a madman being hanged... Was the fact that my head wasn't the one on the rope. My face had begun to swell from the constant slaps, while my hair which I had previously tied in a pony tail was scattered around my face looking so disheveled. I sure as hell didn't think this was exactly what was going to happen after I left the old lady's house. It has taken me a bit over an hour to get here because of how late it was and how hard it was to find a taxi, and after I did arrive what welcomed me was a hot slap from Killian!My face was pushed
Alexander's POV" What makes you think I care about here?" I growled at Gregory on the phone. I was just with Amelia in the hospital, who had surprisingly woken up when I got a call from the bastard.He said he has Mia and was going to kill her... Why was I going to care about that? I thought.But the truth was that I immediately became terrified." Dear brother, I heard a good source that you're in love with this woman, so... I think you do care ". Gregory said sounding nonchalant. I could bet he had a smirk on his face right now.I clutched my phone tightly and I gritted my teeth in anger.This sounded way to fake to be true.Mia was working for him, she was his ally, why on earth would he kidnap her?" Mia is in my hands, and I advise to come quickly, or else..."
Alexander's POVShe kept her eyes shut for a few minutes before opening then again. She stared directly at the direction of my study that for a second I thought she was looking straight at me. But she couldn't be looking at me. The study floor to length window to an outsider was completely tinted. It
Mia's POVWho the fuck did this woman think she was to try to talk down on me?I snorted shaking my head. " She told me off a woman who came from a very rich background, but left all her fortune as an idiot because she is chasing after another woman's man " I bit back and watched as Verona's face slow
Alexander's POVThat bitch was here? Didn't I already ban her from getting in here already?" How did she get in ". I asked coldly but calmly. My entire head was in a mess, and then Verona shows up? And she says she knew something about Mia? This wasn't looking like a coincidence at all. Also once I p
Verona's POVI woke up the next morning with a huge smile on my face.I had spent the entire night thinking of how to execute my plan, and thankfully just in the early hours of morning I had an idea.
