Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Being spoiled at a 5-star hotel For about a week, Lisa finally decided to visit her mother's house with Rangga. Her intention was to prove to the neighbors that all of those crazy rumors about her weren't true. Not only that, Lisa also wanted to convince her mother that she had found a man who would take responsibility for her and her child even if he wasn't the biological father of her child.

The last time she met her mother, both of them fell into a cold war .Their relationship was so bad that neither of them said anything since.

But Lisa realized that what caused her mother to act cold and indifferent was herself. If it weren't for her getting pregnant out of wedlock, her mother wouldn't be bullied by her neighbors, thus destroying her family's dignity.

Now that Lisa and Rangga were officially lovers, the time was right to prove those bully neighbors that all those rumors were not true.

Without much thought, Lisa grabbed her cellphone from the nightstand while relaxing on her bed and made a call to Rangga.

"Hello, what's wrong?" Rangga replied from across. From his tone, the man seemed to be busy with office business.

Lisa was silent for a moment before replying, "Sorry I want to ask something... Can you come back sooner?"

Rangga put down the pen he was holding while sharpening his ears, listening to Lisa's words on the other side, "Why is that? Is there any problem?"

"Oh no, it's just... I want you to accompany me to visit my mom. I don't understand how busy you're right now but if you're not, do you want to go?" Lisa asked in a pleading tone.

"Okay, no problem. I'll come home early, okay? But I need to stop by the mall first to bring your mother a gift," Rangga replied, his tone relaxed without any burden.

"Eh, don't bother buying you gifts! Just accompany me to visit my mother. I'm sure she wouldn't expect a gift from you," Lisa replied a little reluctantly. How could she not? Since the two of them officially became lovers, Rangga really spoiled her with all his heart.

Without much thought, Rangga said quietly and casually, "Lisa, your mom is my future mother-in-law. There's no way I won't prepare a gift for her, right? You don't have to worry about the price. Anyway, I want to make her proud."

"Fine then, I'll wait at the hotel,"

"Okay! Don't forget to check out first. See you then!" Rangga then closed the call.

Lisa laid down while looking at the ceiling of the luxurious room. She felt so happy today. In her heart, Lisa really wanted to contact her mother, but something discouraged her from pressing the button on her cellphone. The phone she was holding slowly slipped away from her gripped grip. 

'You don't have to call her, she's definitely not going to answer it. She's just angry with you,' Lisa said to herself.

***

At 4 pm, after checking out of the hotel, Rangga came from the entrance and saw Lisa waiting in the lobby while carrying her suitcase. Then he waved at his new lover while smiling sweetly.

Rangga helped her put her suitcase into the trunk, opened the front passenger door and invited her to enter like an important guest.

In the car, Lisa felt somewhat anxious as they were getting closer to the destination. She was really not ready to meet her mother again. How would her mother react when she came and brought Rangga with her?

In the middle of the trip, the road suddenly became increasingly congested and then jammed. Lisa was a little relieved. With the traffic jam, it would take longer for them to reach her mother's house. There is still time for her to calm down and prepare answers in case her mother asks her questions later.

Rangga, looking bored and annoyed by the traffic jam, started to move from his seat. He crossed his arms behind his head then turned to look at Lisa who was sitting next to him.

"Lis, how come you are looking so tense?" Rangga asked casually.

Lisa gasped from the daydream that brought her into a torrent of thoughts. She turned to Rangga, muttering, "It's okay, I'm just bored. Traffic jams are really bad!"

Rangga turned his body and grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the back seat, then handed it to Lisa and said, "Here, drink and refresh your mind."

"Thanks." Lisa took a quick sip of mineral water and then continued, "Sorry for bothering you to accompany me to my mom's house."

"Hey, we've known each other for a long time! Honestly, I'm happy that I finally got to meet your mother and tell her directly that I like you." Rangga put his palms on Lisa's thighs as a sign of affection and sincere love.

Lisa sat in silence in her seat, staring at Rangga's palm which landed on her thigh. It felt so warm that her mind immediately flashed Oscar's shadow. She still remembered the same warm palm of that man, but only much wider and stronger.

Lisa even remembered when Oscar took her to Sweden to meet his grandmother. It was winter at the time and the house where Oscar's grandmother lived was warm and very comfortable.

Their world seemed so distant and unreal, all the sweet and bitter memories they had ever lived were neatly stored inside her mind. Lisa thought that living together with a man from a far, different country would make her life much better. But what happened then? 

The man hurt her a lot.

Instead of torturing herself by living with that blond, it would be better for Lisa to struggle even if she had to face everything alone to support her little family. She had struggled by herself over the past few years, falling and rising from all the trials in order to live a decent life for her mother and younger sister. Stuck in a circle of difficulty finding a job to work overtime. Once, she even sacrificed her health for a bite of rice until she fell ill.

Luckily, Lisa doesn't have to worry anymore now. Since she decided to become Rangga's lover though her heart was still upset, at least she had to try before she could make a conclusion.

Being stuck in traffic really makes her bored to the point that she is drowning in a daydream that brings her to the memory of the past again. She stretched her back then looked back. Her eyes landed on two branded shopping bags and picked them up.

She was so surprised and amazed when she opened the contents. It was a box of expensive ginseng, a box of gold necklaces, a dress and a scarf! Everything looks very beautiful and suitable for a middle-aged woman like her mother.

Lisa then opened another grocery bag, which contained a beautiful, expensive satin dress and a silk scarf made by famous designers. Every piece of the shawl was soft and felt luxurious. Lisa can already guess, it must be very expensive!

The woman returned all the gifts back to the bag. Lisa was touched by the gifts Rangga bought to give to her mother. She turned her head then looked at Rangga who was starting to look serious and focused on driving. "Rangga, you bought this much for my mother... Don't you love your money more? My mother wouldn't ask for this many gifts!"

"Lisa, the price of those items is nothing for me. Anyway, I think she'll like it!" Rangga replied casually.

"Actually, I'm afraid you will make my mother feel uncomfortable. The gifts that you buy are not cheap. You also buy expensive ginseng! I'm sure my mother won't have the heart to drink it," Lisa said jokingly.

Rangga didn't say anything, he just threw a sweet grin on the corner of his lips while driving.

"What's with that grin?" Lisa exclaimed nosily.
