They were silent for a moment with their heads bowed and their hands raised, asking the Owner of the Universe to say a series of good prayers to Him."Do you want to go first, sis, De?" Clarita asked after they finished tidying up their prayer equipment."Sister, Dean wants to play social media first," said Dean as he turned on her cell phone. Dean chose to sit back on the sofa provided. Clarita nodded; her long footsteps walked towards the small cupboard and took some toiletries. Before entering the bathroom, she took the time to visit her little one, who was still sleeping in a peaceful dream. Their calm faces seemed to be a boost to Clarita's enthusiasm for living her life again.Clarita planted a soft kiss on her baby's forehead, then went to the bathroom and began her bathing ritual. It didn't take long for Clarita to quickly finish her shower and let Dean clean himself too.It was 7 in the morning, and Clarita sat alone on the edge of Yara's bed. De
"It's impossible; why, sis?" Dean asked with a confused look."Hah? Why, De?" Clarita asked, surprised by Dean's words.Dean took a breath. "Sister said it wasn't possible, so why is that?"Clarita looked at Dean and was silent for a moment, thinking about the right answer without having to tell Dean the truth. "Ah, there's no way I can live without you.After all, you've helped a lot, sis, and you're like an angel sent by God to help and help me," Clarita's alibi said to Dean, who was now looking at her with emotion.Dean didn't respond to Clarita's words; the woman just rubbed one of Clarita's hands. After that, Clarita fell silent again. She thought about the car she saw a few minutes ago. She pondered and tried to combine all the events that happened today.Starting with a phone call from a number she knew very well, uploading photos at a Semarang tourist attraction, and now a car she really recognized passing by her side, she tried to reject he
“What is their purpose in coming here? Do they want to? Ah, no way. They just threw me away; maybe they came here just to take me home again. But –“"Assalamualaikum, I'm home," shouted Dean as she knocked on the door of the house.Clarita stopped what she was saying, put her cellphone back, and rushed to open the door of the house. "Walaikumsalam," said Clarita as she opened the door.Dean smiled, and she walked into the house with her hands full of groceries. Clarita moved to help carry Dean's shopping. After that, close the door and lock it again. Now the two women, three years apart, are sitting in the living room and opening their shopping."This is the oven, sis; then here are the tools. So, that's where the cake ingredients are. If there's something missing, sis, just tell me; I'll let De find it after work."Clarita looked at Dean with teary eyes. “De, you shouldn't spend your money, De. You just met me; what if this Sis is a bad person?"Dean turned his face to look at Clarit
Atma reached into his trouser pocket, took out a cellphone with a bitten apple logo on it, typed in a series of numbers, then dialled the number. Coinciding with the third dial tone, a deep voice typical of waking up rang in his ears."Look for Clarita's house; I'll wait before lunch time," said Atma matter-of-factly."Can you do it, Jay? If you call, say hello first; make small talk first. To the point," complained the interlocutor. "Why is Atma Wijaya Mahendra looking for Clarita's address? It's not like you have nothing to do with them, right? It seems like you're just like her husband, Jay."“Tsk!” Atma unilaterally disconnected the phone. Leaving his friend and assistant to curse under his breath because of his attitude.He pondered for a moment, thinking about Bara's words. 'You seem like her husband'—thosewords kept ringing in his mind. He tried to digest Bara's words."Excuse me, can I help you?" as
Clarita hesitated; she was confused about whether to open the door or ignore him. There was another knock on the door from outside, making Clarita even more nervous. She was confused about how the man knew her house address, even though no one knew where her house was.Her body was shaking more and more, and she was afraid that something would happen to her baby twins. She didn't expect that the man would be so determined to look for her in her new house. Ten minutes passed, and a man could hear a faint conversation in front of his house.“Hello, ma'am, is this the correct address? How come there is no life? Are you sure that woman moved here? Who did you get the information from?" The man asked someone on the phone. Clarita covered her mouth and was shocked. It turned out that the man was the husband of her former boarding house mother. The boarding house mother is aiming for baby twins to become her children as a means of obtaining her husband's family inherita
“I what? Say it clearly!” shouted one of the residents with the tattooed arm. Seeing the man's arm made the mysterious man's guts shrink. He was actually only told by his wife, but he didn't expect that his wife was following the wrong person. “I have the wrong address; excuse me!” said the mysterious man quickly, and he was about to walk away. "Wait, once again, if you come here, we won't hesitate to report it to the police," warned Pak Danang firmly. Then the man nodded and left Dean's house on his big motorcycle. Dean thanked Mr. Danang and also the local residents who kindly helped him on such nights. They said goodbye and told Dean to always lock the door to his house. Dean looked around for a moment, making sure that things were safe and that the man wasn't looking at hers house anymore. After making sure that everything was safe, Dean opened the door of the house with the spare key she had. She closed the door to the house and locked it. She didn't scream because she was sur
"I was thinking, since when did you become like this?" Atma said casually that he managed to neutralise his feelings again."I? Why me? The main topic here is you, Jaya. Why are you so curious about Clarita? What's the reason why you're so curious like this?" Bara replied as he stared at Atma intensely, trying to find answers to all the questions that were residing in his mind. "You haven't played with girls lately? Why? Repent or... you turn, okay?”"Bastard!" Atma threw a wad of tissue at his friend.Silence greeted table number 12. Atma was busy thinking about Bara's words while his best friend was busy playing with his cell phone. He scrolls through every post that crosses his Hastagram home page. His fingers stopped on a post showing a woman playing with two babies.“Isn't this Dean? Eh, but no, it's like... . “ Bara paused his words and looked at the picture on his cellphone. "This is Clarita, right?" he said, looking at Atma
"Aaaa!" screamed Clarita when someone touched her shoulder. Her body shook with fear, and her hands clutched the baby twins so tightly.“Sis, this is Dean, Sis." Dean's words managed to make Clarita wake up and look up.“De… Sis is scared of De. There was a –“"Yes, sis, Dean already knew that the residents had thrown them out. Sis, we are increasingly unsafe here; they can come at any time. What if we trick them?” Dean suggested it to Clarita.The woman who had just experienced terror could only wait silently for Dean's explanation. "We'll just trick them, sis; we'll pretend to leave this city.""How to?" Clarita asked, confused.Dean smiled meaningfully, then he explained her plan. At first, Clarita rejected the plan; she was afraid that it would fail and make her even more chased by the crazy woman. However, thanks to all the explanations and guarantees that Dean gave, she finally agreed and complied w
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'
