Byan kissed the top of Clarita's head, then put his arm around her waist as if to say that Clarita was his. Atma, who saw this, clenched his fingers; he couldn't accept it if another man touched Clarita.
Unlike Atma, Clarita actually felt butterflies in her stomach flying; her heart warmed. She nodded and straightened her body again. “Want to go somewhere else?” Byan asked gently.
Clarita shook her head slowly. She said that starting today she would have the courage to face that man. After all, he no longer had a reason to approach her or force Clarita to be his. Byan nodded, and he then handed Clarita his credit card. Clarita made a payment transaction at the cashier, and when they were about to leave the shop and wanted to go home, Atma and Bara stopped her.
"Wait!" Atma shouted, stopping their footsteps.
Clarita took a deep breath and waited for the man to approach her. "Cla, I really miss you," said Atma, about to hug Clarita. Suddenly, th
"Why -" Clarita's words were cut off when she followed Dean's line of sight. There stood two men and a woman wearing a T-shirt and shorts covered by her long t-shirt."Danila," Clarita whispered, almost inaudible. Her hands tightly gripped Byan. The one who understood rubbed the back of Clarita's hand using his thumb."Don't worry, it's me and Dean," Byan whispered, making Clarita look up. The woman looked at Byan deeply, looking for the sincerity of the words of the man who was five years different from her. Clarita didn't find the slightest hesitation in Byan's grey eyes; what she found instead was sincerity and calmness.Clarita nodded. She touched Dean's arm for a moment; the young woman flinched and turned to Clarita. The woman smiled. "Let's go there. PaBy must be hungry," said Clarita, distracting Dean.“Ah yes! Dean's here to try the viral chicken porridge! Come on, sis, bro. Just let me push," said Dean as he grabbed the handle of the strol
"Ah, sorry, please just take it," said Clarita after managing to neutralise her surprise. She tried to act as normal as possible. Behind the middle-aged woman's body stood a man with his distinctive glasses.Clarita nodded politely. She was about to turn around, but an arm managed to grab her arm. "Don't you miss us?" asked the woman in a trembling voice.Clarita tried her best to ignore the feelings of sadness, disappointment, and anger that were welling up in her mind. "Sorry, I'm in a hurry," said Clarita, releasing the woman's grip."Cla, so which one should I buy?" Byan asked as he approached Clarita. The man immediately grabbed Clarita's body and put his arm around her shoulders. Byan pretended not to notice Brahma's presence there."It doesn't work; we'll just look elsewhere." Clarita smiled sweetly.Dean stared at the middle-aged woman fiercely. “Sister, how about we go home now? It looks like the baby twins are tired. You must be tir
"Sis!!" whined Dean, covering hers face. She was embarrassed by the shapeless appearance of her face, not to mention the mascara that had run off from her crying."Well, just wipe it off first, then I'll let you help me with my make-up, okay?" Clarita's offer brought a sweet smile to Dean's face. That beautiful face looked at Clarita happily. Byan smiled at his sister's spoiled behaviour towards Clarita.It was getting late, and now Clarita was preparing what she needed. She changed into the baby twin's clothes, and after that, she changed into the dress she bought yesterday with Byan. This beautiful dress with cuts and decorations that are not too luxurious but look elegant sits nicely on Clarita's body. After the special pattern of cloth had stuck to hers body, she now walked to the dressing table.She looked at the makeup tools she had, and she smiled happily because she finally managed to buy back the makeup tools and skincare using hers own money. She also
With shaking hands, Clarita grabbed the bouquet of flowers. Along with clear beads dripping down her cheeks. Byan cried. She couldn't believe that a stiff man like her could propose to a woman as good and beautiful as Clarita.Byan smiled with emotion, then put the ring on the woman. Likewise with Clarita, she put on Byan's ring. They hugged, and for the second time, they hugged each other gently, strengthening each other and being grateful for their meeting.Byan and Clarita outlined their embrace. Byan's palm cupped Clarita's face, and he wiped away the remaining tears on the woman's face. “I love you. I love you so much.” Clarita nodded and said the same thing.That night was witnessed by thousands of stars. Two people who initially did not know each other have now become lovers who are ready to formalise their relationship. They intertwined their fingers, forming a very tight hand grip.When Byan and Clarita turned around, they found Dean
Byan looked at the man, smiled, and nodded his head. He then invited the man to join him. He continued to stare at the man who came with a woman in her 40 y.o. The woman looked elegant in a light blue dress with a hairstyle that looked right for her age. The woman smiled at Clarita, who was beside Byan."Cla, this is Aunt Anjani, and this is Mr. Davin; they are one of my business partners," said Byan, introducing the elderly husband and wife."Clarita, Aunt Uncle." Clarita nodded politely.Davin and Anjani's faces looked tense; they looked at Byan as if asking the man for an explanation. "Um, what if tomorrow night, Mr. Davin and Mrs. Anjani stop by my house, so we can be closer?" Byan offered them dinner.“Oh, my pleasure. I would be happy to visit Mas Byan's house. Who would want to turn down a golden opportunity like this?"Byan smiled. They continued their dinner activities even though it was very busy with other guests, but their table l
Annoyed, Atma took his car to his apartment. He was supposed to take Danila home, but the woman refused and asked to stay away from her father for a moment. He himself was confused about what was happening to her; however, he could only obey and was reluctant to get too deep into the woman's life.The morning sun began to show its rays; gradually, its rays rose. Atma blinked his eyes and woke up after feeling something pressing against his lower body. He sharpened his vision, and it turned out that he was asleep with Danila while they were still together. Danila, who was disturbed by Atma's movements, squirmed and made small movements, which succeeded in provoking Atma's male side."Soon we will get married; it's a good idea for us to practice from an early age," said Atma as he again lunged at Danila's very beautiful body. Danila could only sigh, feeling Atma's actions and touch on his body.From the start, she wanted to stop with her role; however, Atma's body
“I mean, let them figure it out themselves. Let's just watch from here. After all, Dean has grown up. We, as those above her, can only provide input; regarding whatever results Dean feels, we will leave it to her." Clarita's explanation made Byan aware. "Let's just monitor from here, okay?" Clarita asked, looking at Byan softly and calmly.Finally, Byan gave in, nodded, and closed the car door again. The man stared intently at Bara's car, which was parked in front of the campus bus stop. From a distance, Byan and Clarita saw Dean's interaction with the man. They talked with serious faces, and Dean seemed to be standing straight. He had never seen his younger brother able to stand in front of people, especially men, so straight and firm.Not long after, Dean walked away from the man. He walked towards Byan's car and knocked on his brother's car door. "Why?" Byan asked. Dean was reluctant to answer. The young woman was just silent and pensive.Clarita also s
"Insha Allah," replied Clarita softly.Dean took a deep breath and smiled. "Bro, can I buy clothes? Do it later in thevillage." Dean asked in hers typical tone.Byan was stunned for a moment, but soon he nodded with a smile. His eyes looked at Clarita, who was also looking at him shakily. After that, they stepped foot again in a clothing store with a fairly well-known brand. Clarita invited Dean to come in, and so did Byan.Dean was carrying shopping bags, while Byan just stood there, following wherever the two young women went. Meanwhile, Bi Lusi just sat in a waiting chair, according to Byan's request.They went around looking for things that fit their body size for a long time. Byan just sighed tiredly; his legs felt like he had run a marathon for tens of kilometres just from following Clarita and Dean around."Already?" Byan asked with a relieved smile. Dean nodded while Clarita was still looking around. The woman grabbed Byan's arm witho
Clarita smiled in response to her sister's words. "So, it was true that it was Mom who trapped you, but I should have been there, not you. At first, I was asked by Brahma to go there to serve his clients, but in the middle of the road, my car tyre was punctured, and I was delayed there. When I arrived at the hotel, according to the number that Brahma gave, it turned out that you and Byan were already having sex. Even though you should be in the next room.""So? The one who should be in that room is you and me next toroom?"Clarita asked in disbelief.Danila nodded, and he took one of his brother's hands. "Yes, sis, because of the wrong room, Brahma got angry and kicked out sis with the alibi of family disgrace. About the hot video sent to your cell phone, that's also his job. I didn't know that that night, Brahma put up a surveillance camera that recorded our activities, and yes, everything was arranged according to his plan so that you and Atma would be further a
“As Danila Ayudia's biological parent, I certainly leave all decisions in our daughter's hands. Her happiness is our happiness too," said Ganesha, ignoring Danila's question."What? Biological parents? It means?" Danila asked, confused, and threw a demanding look at Bram."Honey, Aunt Ratasya, and Uncle Ganesha are your biological parents, who have been hidden by Mr. Brahma; they...""What?" shouted Danila in disbelief. "So? The one you were talking about during the trial wasme." Danila asked in disbelief."Yes, dear, we are your biological parents. It all starts from... .” Ganesha began to tell how Brahma took Danila from him. Starting from when Brahma seized his property to the kidnapping case and his imprisonmentDanila listened to his parents' words very carefully; she didn't want to miss a single word. Until she came to the story about the murder attempt that Brahma had made on them, Danila groaned under her breath, say
Excited, Danila's heart became increasingly convinced that Bram really wanted to sell him. "Wear this," said Bram as he handed over a black cloth. “Use it and don't ask too many questions!”Danila was forced to obey Bram's orders. She wrapped the cloth around hers eyes, and in an instant, her vision went dark. Danila could only feel that the car was moving again. In her heart, she said a prayer so that she could be separated from the man who would use her body.Bram's car walked for a long time along the paved road, until the car's engine died. The sound of the car door opening and closing alternately After that, she felt the car door beside her open, and an arm gently grabbed her hand. However, she doubted that the arm belonged to Bram because, from the fingers that touched her arm, she was absolutely sure that the fingers belonged to a woman.'Did Mas Bram sell me to a pimp?' Danila asked himself.She got out of the car with the hel
“I want to be like this forever. See, you can do it." "You're making me almost have a heart attack. Honey, only death can separate our love story. I will always try to be by your side," said Byan, making Clarita's heart warm and the butterflies in her stomach flutter. "By, tonight, let's just use this, okay? The event was on the beach; I also couldn't wear open clothes because I was allergic to the cold. Luckily, my husband isn't cold," Clarita joked as she looked at her spoiled husband. "Honey," said Byan, embarrassed. The man scratched the nape of his neck, which didn't itch. The sun began to shift, leaving the sky orange with the sound of cars passing by. Clarita had just come out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her head, while her husband was still busy at his work desk, which was next to their bedroom. Byan deliberately designed his work space in the room by only providing a glass partition between the room and his work space.
“The company collapsed, and all large companies postponed signing the MOU. Stock prices have dropped drastically, and several vendors are demanding immediate repayment. Where have you been?” Mahen said as he let his son read the entire contents of the folder.“We can handle this all.""In what way? Now the company no longer has any cooperation; okay, it's still there, but it's just a small project. Do you think it can pay all the bills? Not to mention employee salaries. You should think about that; you should focus on growing this company instead of taking care of that sick woman and her child."“Shut up, Dad! Do you know who I am like this because of? Because you! You are the one who always thwarts my love; you are the one who always destroys my own life affairs. Why? Because you want to look perfect, even though you are far worse than a dead rat." Atma spoke in a high tone. “I'm leaving this company!” Atma shouted as he walk
"It's okay, shall we go back in? It looks like it's time for the trial to start again." They nodded in agreement with Byan's words. They walked hand in hand again into the courtroom. This afternoon, they will hear the judge's decision regarding Brahma's actions many years ago."By," Clarita whispered, grabbing Byan's arm. The man turned his head and stared at his wife calmly. "I'm scared."“Leave everything to Allah, OK? Everything will be fine." Clarita sighed as she tightened her grip on her husband's hand.The judge and all the staff began to enter the room, after which Brahma, the main suspect, returned to the courtroom. After the trial reopened, the public prosecutor read out his indictment again."We hereby decide to sentence Brahma Wijaya to 25 years in prison under this article."Clarita's eyeballs almost fell out of place when she heard the judge's verdict on the man she had always considered her father. Likewise with Danila, the wom
"I'm glad you're worried about me, but believe that Allah will always protect every one of His servants." With a heavy heart, Clarita finally nodded and rested her head on her husband's broad chest.Seconds turned into minutes, minutes turned into hours, and hours turned into days. Now the day had come when Brahma would get the verdict for his mistakes. That morning, Clarita was ready at the dining table.The clothes she wore were very simple but still looked beautiful. She wore jeans combined with a flannel shirt. Clarita didn't look like a mother of two. Byan also wore clothes that matched his wife. Today they will come to court, where they have made a promise to Davin's family and Danila, who will come with Bram.After finishing breakfast, Clarita and Byan rushed into the car, but before that, they took the time to say goodbye to Dean, who decided to stay at home to look after the baby twins. It is impossible for Clarita to bring her baby to court; apart from
“We can only surrender, Dan. We have tried to uphold justice; hopefully everything will be according to our expectations."Time seemed to pass so quickly, and the days passed so quickly. Since yesterday's first trial, Danila's life has felt so good and light. She still works in Clarita's cake shop. Meanwhile, their romantic relationship is still going well. Bram never demanded a relationship with this man but instead directed Danila to become a more elegant woman.Unlike Atma, the man actually approached Hanna more aggressively. He didn't even care about the rejection that Hanna kept giving him. Hanna is his last hope for getting his grandmother's inheritance, and he doesn't give up on getting Hanna back.“Han, trust me. I don't only need Riani; to be honest, I still have feelings for you, but I'm too embarrassed to admit it. Is there no more chance for me? Can't we start our love story again?"Hanna looked at Atma doubtfully. The man seemed p
"The first trial will be held four days from today, sir," said the police officer who escorted them to the lobby of the police station."Okay, sir, I hope everything can be according to my expectations and certainly in accordance with the applicable articles," replied Byan politely. The policeman nodded with a friendly smile.After that, Byan drove back to his residence. The days passed so quickly; everything happened out of Clarita's control. All the questions in her life, one by one, began to open up and reveal the truth.The man's mind was still caught up in his desire to be separated from Mahen; he continued to try to approach Hanna in various ways. The illness that Riani suffered was the only tool he could use to force Hanna to marry him, especially after the results of the examination came out. The bone marrow that Atma has is very suitable for Riani, which makes it easier for him to urge Hanna to accept his offer.In contrast to Danila, this woman'
