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
"Making my friend aware not to act stupidly!" said Bara, who entered without permission. Atma looked at him in disapproval. He looked at his friend with an annoyed expression. "Now, if you think about it logically, don't you really wonder who Clarita is? Why are Danila and Mr. Brahma looking at Clarita as if they already know each other?"Atma was silent; he actually felt that too, but he couldn't provide any proof. "If you're sensitive, Clarita and Danila's last names are almost the same. Is it not?"Atma seemed to think for a moment. “Besides, you're strange. It's the same as who sleeps with whom. If I were Clarita, I would clearly choose Byan, whose track record has never been in bed with women out there, not like you, Jay. Mr Dip-Dip.”Atma was about to get angry, but he couldn't deny what his friend and assistant said. “He came alone.”“And you accept it happily, right? Even repeating it, right? From what I saw, Clarita
Byan just smiled, as if he were hiding a secret from Clarita without saying much. Byan immediately took Yandra into his arms and took Clarita downstairs because he had received news from Mang Asep that Davin and his family's car would soon arrive at the front gate. Clarita was forced to follow Byan's footsteps; she carried Yara carefully.Arriving at the last step, Clarita saw a husband and wife sitting sweetly, accompanied by a man wearing a black shirt with rolled sleeves. Clarita and Byan walked side by side, holding baby twins. They are like husband and wife who look so happy with two adorable children.Davin and Anjani stood up to welcome Clarita and Byan, not forgetting the young woman who was sitting next to Anjani. "Welcome, Mr. Davin, Miss Anjani," said Byan, shaking Davin and Anjani's hands."Welcome," added Clarita as she shook both of their hands."Wow, thank you for your welcome, Mas Byan. Thank you also for inviting my family here. I am very
"Mr. Davin and Mrs. Anjani are the younger siblings of the late Rahardi and Sekar, who biologically are your biological parents, dear." Byan's words made the 25-year-old woman's breath catch. She looked at Byan, demanding a more detailed explanation. “They died right after you entered your first month of age. They had a suspicious traffic accident, but due to the lack of evidence in the past, the accident was declared a single accident due to careless driving." "Mr. Rahardi died shortly after returning from Brahma's residence because they were discussing the joint business they were working on, but unfortunately, because of Brahma's greed, the man manipulated the data. Mas Rahardi asked Brahma to return the capital he had given; however, Brahma insisted that he had indeed suffered a big loss and could not return Mas Rahardi's money. Shortly after he returned home, in the middle of the road, he had a tragic accident that took the lives of both of them," added Davin, who also
Brahma was silent; he cursed himself for almost accidentally saying Clarita's name. “Like teenagers in general, At. Who do you think?” replied Brahma after he was silent for a moment.Atma was silent; in his mind flashed the incident where Clarita met her friend and told him what happened that night. “Who is Clarita? You know that name, right?" Atma asked, cornering Brahma and Danila, who were now exchanging glances with each other."Clarita, ah, she's actually just my sister's daughter, and we've looked after her since childhood; that's why we were so disappointed when she got pregnant out of wedlock.""Isn't what happened that night because of you guys?" Atma asked, cornering the two people in front of him.Elsewhere, Clarita has just regained consciousness. She blinked her eyes, matching the light that entered her sense of sight. Her eyes stared at Anjani's body sitting on the edge of the bed. Her vision was blurry. Clear beads pooled
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'
