(Family) Bound
A Mother's Promise

BRAAAAKK..!!

Arian throws the glass on the table. He looked at the woman before him with a look of wrath.

"Rian..!!" Vanessa, Arian's older sister who is also Kate's mother. The 54-year-old looked at her sister with a look of disbelief.

"What do you mean Kate's getting married to Simon..??!!" Ask her sister.

"They're grown up and they love each other. What's wrong with them getting married..??!!" Answer Vanessa.

"Simon's family is only a servant to your husband's family..!!" Arian.

"We never had a problem with that. Just like Simon who never had a problem with Kate's situation. You know for yourself how Kate is. It's good that Simon would accept him. And again our situation is not like before. We don't know how long we're staying and if we'll be able to stay. While Simon is well established, has his own business and is quite advanced. So it would be better if Kate married him. Simon will be able to look after and meet Kate's needs." Vanessa explained.

"I don't care..!! Kate can't marry anyone..!!" Raung Arian's.

"Arian..!! What exactly do you want..??!! I know you've been very close to Kate since childhood. But he was an adult and had his own life..!!" Vanessa Cries.

"Kate is mine..!! Just mine..!!" Shouted Arian.

"DANCE..!!" Vanessa exclaimed to see Arian who was like a man of infidelity.

"Mommy..??" Call Kate who just came with Simon. While getting out of the car, Kate and Simon hear a noise from inside the house that makes them worry.

"Kate..!!" Call Arian while approaching Kate. The woman looked terrified and hid behind Simon's sturdy body.

"Sorry, Mr. Arian. But please don't come any closer." Reproof Simon.

"Exit..!! Don't interfere with my business with him..!! You and your family are just people who served my sister-in-law's family for generations. You're just waiters..!!" Arian.

"DANCE..!! STOP INSULTING SIMON..!!" Vanessa defended her son-in-law.

"Why are you so angry to hear their wedding plans..??!! Remember your niece is an adult..!!" Vanessa.

"I don't care..!! Kate's mine..!! Until whenever I won't take it off..!!" Arian.

"What do you mean..??" Vanessa asks in amazement.

"Don't..!! Oom Arian, please don't do that." Pinta Kate while holding Arian who will talk to Vanessa.

"You must not marry Simon or any man. Whatever you want to throw your body at who, I don't care. But you can't get married..!!" Arian sizzle while tightly gripping Kate's face with his hands.

"Oom please stop." Pinta Kate pleads.

"Arian, let go of my daughter..!!" Vanessa Cries.

"Detach it..?? Don't expect." Arian Growls.

BUUGGS..!!

Suddenly Simon landed a hard blow on Arian. Arian's body fell to the floor unprepared for Simon's attack.

"Bi**tang..!! Wasn't it enough that you tortured Kate all this time..??!!" Simon's screams fierce.

"To..!! It's none of your business..!!" Shouted Arian no less fierce.

"That's my business. I love Kate and we're getting married. So stop bothering him." Simon cried.

Arian laughed softly and slowly stood up. He looked at Simon with a mocking look.

"Do you know how our relationship is..??" Arian Cibir.

"I knew. I already know everything and I accept that as Kate's past. So shut up and stop bothering him..!!" Simon cried.

"Sister, do you know why your daughter became like this..?? You want to know who's the one who broke it..??" Asked Arian with a scary grin.

"SAT..!! Oom Arian, please don't do that." Kate keeps begging Arian but the man seems to ignore her.

"I..!! I ruined it..!! I forcibly snatched her chastity..!! And for almost 11 years she's always been mine..!!" Arian.

"OH...!!" Kate cried out in despair.

"No way." Vanessa says.

"Yes. That's reality. You think during sending Kate to Italy you saved her..?? Instead you have helped me a lot because I can be more free to have him." Arian with a scary face.

"So I reiterate it again. Kate is mine..!! Until whenever I won't let go of him..!!" Arian.

PLAAAAAKK..!!

Vanessa slaps Arian in the face hard. His breath seemed to hunt because it held in anger.

"If you are angry or upset with me, torture me all you want..!! Why did you hurt my daughter..!! Why did you ruin his life..??!!" Shouted Vanessa again. Kate was crying and sitting on the floor watching her mother hysterically.

"I love Kate. That's why I won't take it off. I don't care if he's my nephew." Arian sizzle while holding both hands of Vanessa who continues to beat him.

"Don't disturb my daughter's life..!! Let him be happy, Arian. I beg you." Pinta Vanessa with a face of despair.

"Don't hope..!! Moreover, there is my son in his womb. I'll never take it off." Arian said as he threw Vanessa's hand.

"Son..?? So Kate... Is she pregnant..??" Vanessa says.

Vanessa hurls at Kate and settles down in front of her daughter. She kept screaming hysterically while shaking Kate's body in search of answers.

"Say, Kate. Are you really pregnant..??!! You're pregnant with your uncle's son..??!!" Ask Vanessa hysterically. Kate could only cry and nod.

"I'm sorry, ma." Kate said in her tears.

"Yaaa Tuhaaaann..!! Why is this all happening..??!! Arian, you devil..!! Why would you do that to my daughter..??!!" Vanessa's screams are getting hysterical. His hand continued to beat his chest hard.

"Mama, stop..!! Don't do this, ma. Please don't hurt yourself." Kate said she was trying to stop Vanessa.

"Madam, I'm going to marry Kate anyway. I loved her. I promise I'll take care of him and his son with my life." Simon said, stroking Vanessa's back to calm her down.

"Bre..!! Don't you dare take Kate from me..!! She's mine..!! Just mine..!!" Arian.

"Sir Arian, wake up. Kate's your niece..!!" Simon's Sahut.

"I don't care..!!" Shouted Arian.

Arian approached Kate and grabbed her shoulder.

"Kate, don't leave me. I promise I'll change. I deliberately made you pregnant for fear of losing you. And I was totally crazy when you started avoiding me. I know that you're actually pregnant because I told people to keep an eye on you. That's why I came here to see you. But your mom said you were going to marry Simon. I beg you, Kate. Give me a chance." Arian said pleading.

"Oom, please let me go. We have a blood relationship, all this time we have committed a great sin. I beg you, oom. I love Simon anyway and we're getting married." Pinta Kate's.

"No..!! Please don't say it's Kate. I knew I had you the wrong way. But I love you, please don't leave me." Arian started to sob.

"You know. After deciding to have a child with you I slowly left all my illicit business. I really want to live a quiet life with you and our children, Kate. Please don't leave me. I promise I'll change." Arian said pleading.

"So.. all this time you also have a dirty business..??" Vanessa didn't believe it.

"I ran the business with Lucas and still ran it after he died. But I promise I'll change. I even started to leave the black world. Please let me marry Kate, brother." Arian Pinta.

"Crazy..!! You crazy..!! I'll never let you marry my daughter. Even if you weren't his uncle, I wouldn't let my daughter marry a criminal like you..!!" Vanessa screams full of emotion.

"Oom, please let me go. I've never loved oom. All I do is because I'm afraid of oom. I beg you, oom. Please let me go, also don't disturb Kira's family anymore. Let him live happily with his family." Pinta Kate's.

"Kira..?? Kirana Shaka Rahardian's wife..?? The person you kicked out of our lives to ruin like this, Kate..??" Ask Vanessa.

"Oom Arian loved Kira since High School, but always got rejected. After they meet again at the reunion, oom Arian wants to get back Kira's brother." Kate said it explained.

"You heard it was Arian..?? Kira's been rejecting you ever since High School. She's a smart woman who can recognize a rotten human like you..!!" Vanessa's lips.

"And if you think I'm going to let go of my daughter for you, you're wrong. You have to step over my corpse first to be able to do it..!!" Vanessa Cries.

"I did want Kira because of my obsession with her a long time ago. But Kate's the only woman I love." Arian said to convince Vanessa.

"Kate, I'll stop bothering Kirana and her family. But I beg you to come back to me. I'll do anything to make you happy." Arian tries to reach Kate's body.

"No..!! Don't you dare touch my daughter again, Arian..!! You've hurt her enough all this time. I don't care if you kill me. I'll always protect my daughter from a demon like you." Vanessa's fizzle without fear. She stands between Arian and Kate to keep her sister from approaching her daughter.

"Kate, I'm telling you once again. Come back to me then I will release Kirana and her family. But if you insist on marrying Simon. I'll get you and Kirana forcibly." Arian growls that have begun to run out of patience.

"You have to face me and my family first, Mr. Arian. Because we Janssen family will not let anyone hurt Herlambang family, even more so Kate is my future wife, Simon Janssen." Simon said coldly to warn Arian.

"Go from here, Arian..!! Never set foot in this house again. And never dare to approach my daughter. I'll kill you until that happens." Said Vanessa kicked Arian out.

Arian was speechless with a cold face and kept staring at Kate with a wounded look.

"I'm going to go. But I'll definitely be back for Kate and my son. They're mine. Only mine. And I love Kate." Arian said before leaving the house.

"Darling.I'm sorry mom, son. I'm sorry that Mom couldn't protect you. Mama is really a useless mother because she subconsciously just keeps throwing you at a demon like my sister. I'm sorry, Kate." Vanessa said as she continued to hug and kiss her daughter.

"No, ma. Mama is innocent. My mother doesn't know at all. I'm the one who's too cowardly to tell mom and dad. I'm sorry, ma." Kate in her mother's arms.

Vanessa took off her arms and held Kate's face with both hands.

"Mama would do anything to protect you, Kate. Mama will never let him come near you and hurt you again. Even though mom's life is at stake. It's a mother's promise to her daughter. Hold on to my words." Vanessa said firmly without fear.
