Clarita's body stiffened as she looked at Dean, who showed an annoyed expression. Clarita's brows furrowed at the expression on Dean's face. “De?”
"Oh, what are you doing here?" Dean asked in an annoyed tone.
"Uncle?" Clarita asked, her brain still processing what was happening in front of her.
“Uncle? I've said it over and over again; I'm not that old until you call me uncle." Someone from behind Clarita, in a heavy tone.
Clarita turned her head, and her eyes widened perfectly when she saw the figure standing behind her body. “Tsk, you and I are still a lot different in age! So it's appropriate for me to call you uncle. Who are you anyway? Why keep approaching us?”
The man pursed his lips. "This is a public place; if you forgot, everyone is free to come in and out."
“Why does it have to be here?” Dean asked, increasingly annoyed.
Clarita took a deep breath. It wasn't that she was annoyed
"Sis, why?" asked Dean, who woke up from her sleep.The wall clock in the 4x4 room showed 2 o'clock in the evening, and the sound of a baby crying could be heard echoing throughout the newly occupied rented house.“Eh? Are you awake? Sorry, De. I also don't know that Yara has been crying since one o'clock, sis. I have breastfed her, but Yara is still crying." Clarita's explanation made Dean move slowly towards the woman who was carrying Yara.Dean's soft hand reached out to touch Yara's forehead. “Oh my God, Sis! Yara has a fever!” Dean said, making Clarita glare in disbelief."What? Fever? Oh, how are you, De?" asked Clarita, panicking."We're going to the hospital now, sis. Let Dean order a taxi online. Sis, wait here, okay?" Dean's slender fingers started surfing on the 7-inch cellphone. Pressing numbers and letters alternately formed a series of words, which she addressed to the taxi driver who had successfully taken her order
"You guys?" said Bara, rising.“Oh! You guys again? Why is this world so small?" Dean stared fiercely at the man in the suit in front of her. Likewise, Bara seemed to be in the middle of a war, both of them radiating an aura of hostility.In contrast to Atma, who looked straight at the woman with tears in his eyes, He didn't care about two people of different genders who were arguing over trivial matters. Atma got up from his seat and walked slowly towards Clarita.The figure of the woman in the negligee and knitted cardigan just looked down with shaking shoulders. "Why?" Atma asked quietly.Clarita just shook her head, reluctant to speak. "Sick?" Atma asked, looking at the little angel who was lying on the bed with a compress attached to her forehead.Again, Clarita just nodded silently; her tongue seemed to be tied. Her mind wandered as she imagined the fate of his baby. That innocent little angel had suffered from an early age; she put the angel in danger twice."Bar. Hospital!" At
"Why?" asked Atma, who suddenly appeared with Yandra in his arms. From the tone of his voice, Dean could catch the worry there. For a moment, Dean frowned, observing the attitude of the man; he didn't know where he came from."Get used to answering questions, not just paying attention," Atma warned Dean, who was still busy observing him.Dean blinked rapidly, then realized the weight resting on her hands. "Mba Cla, I fainted!" he said, panicking. Atma rushed out of Yara's treatment room. He called the nurse, who was standing guard at the end of the hall.Not long after, Atma returned with several nurses carrying a gurney. The man in the navy blue shirt handed Yandra to the young woman in front of him with gentle movements, as if Yandra were glass that could shatter if touched. He also helped the nurse push the gurney to Yara's bedside.One of the nurses came along with the young doctor who had examined Yara last night. Everyone was asked to leave the room
The two men in front of Dean immediately looked away. He tried to ignore Dean's presence and questions. “No need to act!” Dean quipped, giving him a fierce look."Dean, never mind," scolded Clarita, who was standing behind Dean.“You know? Sis, how come you're awake? Sis, you have to lie down a lot." Dean looked at Clarita, confused.Seeing Clarita's condition, who had just woken up from fainting, Dean was worried about the sister of different blood. "It's okay, De. I’m fine. Besides, i’m just tired."Dean just sighed in resignation; she would never win if she argued with Clarita. The mother of two children really has an advantage when it comes to speaking; even Atma was once made to die in front of her."Okay, you can go now; you'll be late coming in in the afternoon," Clarita ordered gently.Dean nodded and moved to grab his cardigan. Before leaving Yara's room, Dean said goodbye to Clarita and kissed th
"Hello?" Atma decided to answer the telephone line even though he himself didn't know who the figure behind the string of unknown numbers was.For quite a long time, Atma waited for a response from the other side until finally he repeated his words once again. Until the telephone connection was disconnected unilaterally, "What does this mean? The phone isn't clear!" Atma was about to slam the flat object in his hand, but before it was released, he realized that the object was not his.Atma just spent time sitting on the sofa after he finished putting Yandra to sleep, while Clarita had not yet woken up from fainting. He occasionally checked the condition of Yara, who was lying weak with an Infues tube stuck in her left arm. He groaned softly at the thought of the tiny needle piercing the soft skin of the two-week-old baby.Seconds turned into minutes, minutes turned into hours, and now the clock on the wall showed 12 noon. The Dhuhur call to prayer also sounded,
"None of your business!" Clarita snapped and put her cellphone back.Atma chuckled in annoyance and said, “Why are all women always so difficult to understand? Is it difficult to explain what she really feels?”Clarita ignored Atma's statement and chose to continue eating her lunch. Atma, who felt neglected, chose to stay away and return to the sofa. He stared at the pile of folders dispassionately. Meanwhile, Clarita enjoyed lunch with her mind wandering far away.'After this, what should I do? Hospital costs are certainly expensive, not to mention my life after this. I couldn't possibly continue to depend on the mercy of Dean or anyone else. I can't bother other people anymore, but what can I do? I only graduated from high school and have children?' thought Clarita, lamenting her fate.After enjoying her lunch, she opened the flat, rose-gold-colored object. She opened social networks, trying to find a job she could do from home. Like it or n
"Oh, uncle, were you listening? He says he's educated, but instead he steals what other people say without permission. quipped Dean, looking at Atma, who was standing with his head poking out behind the dividing curtain.Atma is nervous. 'What has happened? Do I feel like I'm talking to myself?' thought Atma, surprised at himself. Atma turned his face away to avoid Dean's probing gaze, but unfortunately, instead of being safe, his eyes were caught in Clarita's beady eyes. The dark black eye beads are very calming and give a feeling of peace.“Oh! What are you doing?” Dean asked, confused at Atma's strange attitude. The man just shrugged his shoulders indifferently and walked away. “It's really weird, really. It's true, Sis, when people are old, they like to act unclear." Clarita just shook her head with a smile on her face.Clarita and Dean continued their conversation. The two people of different ages seemed very friendly and had fun talking about Dean's first day working at this co
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
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'
