Auction

    Today, Nuansa didn't come to the Police station where Reynand works. After she finished selling cassava chips, she immediately came to the beverage outlet where she went with Fani yesterday, because they had already made an appointment to meet again at that place.

However, it seemed that Nuansa had arrived too early because Fani had not arrived yet. Luckily, some people bought her cassava chips, because her cassava chips are not sold out today. This is also able to get rid of Nuansa's boredom awaiting Fani.

And when the cassava chips were finally sold out, Fani arrived with her car, alone.

"I'm late, right? Sorry, sorry," said Fani.

"No, just a few minutes late, luckily there are some people who bought my cassava chips, so I'm not too bored waiting for you," said Nuansa.

"Thankfully."

"So, how?"

"Two milkshakes, please!" exclaimed Fani to one of the employees at this outlet. "OOOHHHH YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS," continued her, she was answered Nuansa's question.

"Hm? What's wrong?" asked Nuansa.

Fani exclaimed, "You got five thousand prospective tenants!" 

Nuansa surprised and then forming an O on her mouth. "Are you serious?" Nuansa ensured.

"Gosh! Look at this." Fani showed an increasing number of offers for Nuansa.

"You have a brilliant strategy." The girl praised Nuansa. She then opened an auction, in which the one who 'auctions' Nuansa with the highest price will be the person who hires Nuansa.

"Did they think that it possible there's a-that-cheap hired girlfriend?" Nuansa joking. The two of them then burst out laughing. Yes, the rate that was set by Fani is only lured for men who are looking for cheap prices to hire a fake girlfriend. Because the site guarantees the tenants and the hires will not cheat, so the men who want Nuansa do not hesitate to hire her.

When Fani opened the auction, 2500 men participated in the auction, and 2500 chose to withdraw. The first bid is 50 times larger than the original price posted by Nuansa and Fani. As a result, about 2000 men immediately withdrew at once, because there were still several other hired girlfriends who charged the same rate, although the number could be calculated.

Then, among the remaining 500, a man bid 100 times larger than the original price, and after that 250 men withdrew. Fani and Nuansa haven't stopped the auction yet, and it's very exciting for them.

Another man bid 250 times larger than the original price and he remains the auctioneer with the highest price. After a few minutes, 200 other men withdrew, and there was no higher bid yet, so Nuansa and Fani also intended to stop the auction, but surprisingly, there was 1 man who had just entered the auction and immediately bid 2500 times larger than the original price!.

Nuansa then quickly stopped the auction. She and Fani then shouted with joy.

"Ok, now let's send a message to this man," said Fani.

"What is his name?" asked Nuansa.

"Wait a minute, it looks like it starts with the letter N too, just like you."

Nuansa then blushed.

"His name is ... Neptunus (Neptune)?" said Fani who looked surprised and unexpected.

"Huh?" Nuansa is no less surprised. Anyone would know that Neptunus is the name of a planet, even though it was taken from the name of the Roman God of the seas, but people know better that Neptunus is the name of a planet, so there's nothing wrong if Fani and Nuansa look confused.

"You read that right?" asked Nuansa.

"Here, read it by yourself." Fani gives her smartphone to Nuansa.

Nuansa then reads the man's name. "Neptunus Bimasakti (Neptune Milky Way)." She and Fani then glanced at each other.

"His name is good, but, how do we call him?" said Nuansa.

"I don't know, but I think his father's name is Jupiter Bimasakti," joked Fani, and they both then chuckled.

"Ok, what do you want to say to him as a greeting?" asked Fani.

"Say 'Hello, wait for me there, I'm still on Saturn'," Nuansa replied, the two of them then laughed again.

"Ok, alright, no jokes this time. What do you want to say?"

"Just say 'hi' first."

"Ok." Fani then sent the message 'Hi' to Neptunus.

"But, do you think that you two will make a great match?" asked Fani.

"Why?" asked Nuansa.

"Your initials are both letter N, isn't that cute?"

"Hahaha, he's just my fake boyfriend, and I don't know how that person is, anyway."

"What if he's cool? Handsome? Or romantic?"

"What do you think I have to do? I'm only his fake girlfriend, we are not a real couple, even he's not signing the contract yet."

"Hmmm. Hey, he replied."

"What did he say?"

"He said, 'I've signed the contract, I signed you for one month and I'll pay you per day. Meet me here tomorrow.' He then gave the full address of the restaurant where you and he will meet."

"Ok."

"Are you going to sign the contract?"

"Can I see his photos first?"

"Of course, my gosh why didn't I think about it earlier?" Fani and Nuansa then looked at Neptunus' photos. The man is tall, handsome, and looks cool. And it looks like he came from high-class people.

"He's not bad," said Fani.

"How old is he?" asked Nuansa.

"Twenty-three, not much different from you."

"Hmm, alright, I'll sign the contract."

"Ok." Fani then pressed the 'SIGN THE CONTRACT' button.

"You will be his hired girlfriend the day after tomorrow," explained Fani.

"The day after tomorrow?" said Nuansa.

"Yes, he wants you to meet him tomorrow at a restaurant which he has sent the address for approach. You and he will spend time getting acquainted tomorrow."

"And tomorrow you're leaving Jakarta again?"

Fani then smiled. "We'll meet again, for sure. And promise that when we meet again, you'll have a much better life than now."

"I promise." Nuansa then hugged Fani.

"Thank you very much, Fani, you've helped me a lot," said Nuansa.

"That's what friend is for, this is all I can do for you, sorry."

"Why did you say sorry? You've done so much in my life."

"Ehehe, never mind. Tomorrow night you will meet your tenant, and in the morning he will be visited by the site's party."

Nuansa smiled. "I can't wait to meet him. But, will he accept me? I mean, it looks like his caste and mine are very different, you know, I'm too far below him financially."

"Don't worry, you're just his hired girlfriend."

Nuansa then chuckled. "That is true."

The two of them then enjoyed their respective milkshakes.

"Nuansa, I have one piece of advice for you," said Fani.

"What?" asked Nuansa.

"This job is safe through this site, but it's not wrong if you keep a close eye on this guy, right?"

"Don't worry, I know how to kick him. I know where men's weakness is."

"Hahahaha."

'Neptunus, how's that man, huh? Is he just the same as my expectations? Is he humorous? Romantic? Quiet? Friendly? Whatever I just wish that he is a good man. I can't wait to meet him,' thought Nuansa.
