Knowing that, Alberto felt confused. On the one hand, he still loves Lorena very much. He doesn’t want to hurt Lorena’s feelings, but he doesn’t want to hurt Professor Vega’s feelings either.
What if Lorena finds out that he accepted Professor Vega’s request for a contract marriage? How will Lorena feel if she knows that Alberto accepted all that money and they broke up because of all that money?
Of course, Lorena will feel very sad if she finds out all these things. Alberto couldn’t imagine how devastated Lorena felt or how broken his relationship with her was.
On the other hand, he needed all that money to pay for college tuition. If he doesn’t get all that money, how can he pay his semester arrears?
Yes, indeed, Alberto can work overtime to pay his arrears. But won’t it be better if someone paid for their tuition while he saves his earnings for future needs?
Alberto wanted to get the money right away. Even though he knew that, the biggest risk is that his relationship with Lorena is breaking up.
However, it was okay if he had to break up with Lorena. After all, Lorena never helps Alberto pay for college tuition. Instead, Lorena asks Alberto for more money to cover all of her expenses.
But if he gets married to Professor Vega, must he give his money to Professor Vega and provide all their necessities and all their wants later? Alberto doesn’t want to give his money to Professor Vega and provide all of their necessities with that one suitcase and the extra money from Professor Vega.
Alberto is already struggling to make ends meet in order to cover all of his basic needs. Because of that, he must work, and sometimes he must do extra work.
Especially later, he will have to pay for Professor Vega. Of course he can’t! Therefore, he gave up his intention to take all the money.
Meanwhile, Professor Vega saw Alberto felt doubtful to receive the money and immediately understood that he did not want to provide her necessities. As a result, she said right away to give Alberto peace of mind and remove Alberto’s reason for refusing her request at the time.
“Oh. I forget. For the problems of our lives after marriage, you don’t have to panic!”
“I will pay for our living expenses, our wedding expenses, and your expenses that you need every month. You will stay at my house.”
“You will receive money from me every month without having to spend any more. You can save the money I give you every month.”
“I will do this until our marriage contract is over, Alberto! After that, please get out of my house and pretend that we were never married! In addition, I will never give you money again!”
Alberto felt as if Professor Vega had given him a big happy surprise when he heard those words. His eyes immediately lit up. What else should he doubt? He doesn’t have to worry about tuition fees.
Professor Vega has already prepared everything by marrying her. He doesn’t have to pay for Professor Vega. All costs when they get married, including the cost of the wedding, the costs they need after marriage, and the costs he needs during their contract marriage, will be borne by Professor Vega.
What about him breaking up with Lorena? It doesn’t matter. Lorena has never helped Alberto so far to pay for his tuition. Even to provide a loan, Lorena doesn’t want to do that for Alberto.
“Come on, Alberto! What else are you bothering about? What are you thinking again? Come on! Marry me, please! Please, do this for me!” persuaded Professor Vega hopefully as she unbuttoned the two buttons of the blue shirt she was wearing and made Professor Vega’s big chest visible to Alberto.
“Yes, I want.” Quickly, Alberto agreed to Vega’s request because he needed the money to pay her tuition fees. After that, Alberto received the money.
“This is our agreement!” Vega gave their agreement letter, and Alberto immediately read the contents of the article in their agreement letter.
“Please read it carefully, remember it carefully, and then sign it!” Alberto wanted to sign immediately after he finished reading the entire contents of their agreement letter, because according to him there was no strange article. All of Vega’s wishes and conditions had been mentioned earlier by Vega, although there was the addition of a free bonus of learning lessons that Alberto didn’t understand whenever he wanted except when Vega was busy or tired.
Vega, on the other hand, said, “You don’t need to be so hurried! Think it through first! It will tie you up in two years’ time. You may ask any questions you have and express your dissatisfaction with any of my requests in this agreement.”
Vega’s words made Alberto feel doubtful until Alberto felt he needed to read their agreement again and again to convince himself, and after that Alberto put his signature on the two agreement letters. Then, Alberto gave the two letters of agreement with the same contents. It is possible that one would be kept by Alberto and the other would be kept by Vega.
“It’s for you!” Vega gave one of the agreement letters to Alberto and Alberto kept the agreement letter.
“And it’s for me!” continued Vega as she held one of the agreement letters. Meanwhile, Alberto immediately folded the agreement letter and she put it in her trouser pocket.
“Oh. Not only that, don’t forget to bring my parents too! On Sunday, you and your parents must come to my house to propose to me. We will engage on Sunday.” Vega mentioned her next request as she paid Alberto’s tuition bill by wire transfer.
Vega knew the virtual number for Alberto’s tuition bill because she got it from Leon, the Director of Finance at Brittle University, who is her friend. Meanwhile, Alberto’s eyes immediately bulged when he heard this because he did not expect that Vega would ask him to bring his parents to propose to Vega so soon.
“So, it has to be on this Sunday?” asked Alberto suddenly.
“Yes. What do you think? When will we do our plan?” Vega rolled her eyes because she was annoyed with Alberto’s behavior, as if she thought that they would delay the contract marriage any longer.
“Maybe next month or later.” Alberto said what he was thinking.
“No! I need it urgently!” Vega got mad.
“Do you want to accept my request or not? Otherwise, we can cancel this agreement!” Vega got straight to the point.
“I want to accept it, but my parents live in the village. “The trip from the village to this city takes seven days if using public transportation, and the problem is that they won’t definitely be able to arrive on Sunday,” complained Alberto, because that was the problem at that time.
“Your parents can take a flight, right?” Professor Vega immediately rolled her eyes because she was lazy with Alberto’s words.
“Airplane tickets are very expensive! My family and I certainly can’t pay for it, especially since Sunday is a weekend. Of course, the ticket price will be more expensive than the ticket price on weekdays,” complained Alberto again, because he couldn’t afford to pay for the plane ticket.
Professor Vega immediately took the money, and after that, he gave it to Alberto. “In that case, is this the fare for your parents to come from the village to your house by plane or do you want me to buy the tickets?”
“No need! just the money! I’ll order it right now!” Alberto immediately received money from Professor Vega. Then, he ordered tickets for his parents’ departure from his village to Alberto’s house by plane.
“Your parents can stay at your house before Sunday and on Sunday, don’t worry! You don’t have to panic. I’ll pick you up from your house later and take you to my parents’ house. You still live in your house, right?” Then, Vega mentioned the place where Alberto lived, where they used to often have sex.
Indeed, Alberto has lived alone since he was in high school. This was intended by Alberto’s parents so that Alberto could become an independent child.
“Yes, I live there.” Alberto confirmed Vega’s words.
“Okay, Alberto. Regarding the technical implementation, I will explain in more detail later! The clear thing is that you simply wait for information from me and comply with all of my requests!” said Vega firmly.
“Regarding the proposal later, should I prepare the money or buy something?” Alberto asked Vega again.
“No need! I will buy things for my engagement later and my dowry later. You don’t have to pay anything. You just have to pretend that you bought that for me. But if you really want to buy me an extra gift for a later proposal or my dowry, that’s fine. I will be very happy to receive a gift from you, Alberto.” Vega mentions his plan.
“Okay.” Alberto just nodded his head.
“Is there anything else you want to talk about? Otherwise, I will go straight to class!” said Alberto firmly.
“No. See you later!”
“See you later!” Alberto immediately left Professor Vega’s room. Once near the door, he immediately opened the door and closed it again. After Alberto left, Professor Vega immediately sighed heavily as she smiled widely.
“Finally, this matter is over as well!” said Professor Vega in her heart.
She felt very happy because her strategy worked. She could bring her future husband to her parents on Sunday, and of course her parents will be happy to know that. She really couldn’t wait to have a contract marriage with Alberto. Yes, even if it’s only a two-year contract marriage. But it’s very pleasant for her because she can live with Alberto, the person she loves very much, and she can also be free from her parents’ questions about when she will get married.
“I hope that I’ll get married with Alberto after this contract marriage!” Professor Vega said to himself expectantly.
Professor Vega can think about the real issue of marriage after the contract marriage at a later time. The clear thing is that for the next two years, Professor Vega can know Alberto deeper, and Alberto can know her life deeper.
Professor Vega feels that Alberto will definitely know herself better. As a result, she must be the best wife in the world for him so that he doesn’t regret his contract marriage with Professor Vega and instead desires a genuine marriage with her. But if Alberto is an asshole man and still prefers Lorena over her, Professor Vega can break up with Alberto after two years.
