CHANGE PAIR
CHAPTER 60. PHONINESS

“Even if we offended Reina for her own good. Since childhood Elora always felt jealous and envious of her sister. We have given and treated them the same. He was always envious when he saw his sister get new things especially better things than him. If he sees us giving new items to Reina then Elora will not hesitate to attack her sister.” said Indira explained.

“Do you see the scar on Reina's cheek? When Elora and Reina were kids, Mom bought them the same dolls. Elora doesn't like it and she breaks Reina's doll and scratches her sister's face with scissors. Fortunately, the wound is not too deep, although it still imprints.” Indira sobbed considering the attitude of her eldest daughter.

“Elora that if you already have the desire then he will do anything to make it happen. He didn't even hesitate to hurt his own sister. Do you know the real reason we agreed to Elora's request to exchange husbands?” indira asked as she stood up and looked at her daughter-in-law's face.

Varen shook his head. Indira smiled then said, “Because we know that Elora is not a good wife to you and Bobby is not a good husband to Reina. Verdi Bimantya Kenzie! We know that you know their affair.”

DEG!

Varen was shocked to hear the name called by her mother-in-law. “Mama?”

Varen sat in front of his parents-in-law, despite the many questions that came to his head but he did not dare to start the conversation. Varen was just silent while putting on a flat face to hide his confusion.

“We can't stay here too long. So just ask what you want to know.” said Indira as if she knew what was in the mind of her daughter-in-law.

A few minutes ago Indira took Varen out of the room because she did not want her sleeping daughter to be interrupted because of their conversation.

Now Indira and Chandra are in the dining room with Varen sitting in front of them. “Since when did you know that I was Verdi Bimantya Kenzie?” ask Varen.

“We know since grandfather Reina intends to match you with one of our daughters. Even though you are the grandson of his good friend we can't just take off our daughter.” replied Indira.

“So we should also investigate your background first. We want to know the nature of the man who will be betrothed to our daughter.” replied Chandra chimed in his wife's remarks.

Varen was astonished, “Then why have you never said anything so far?”

“Because you never asked.” replied Chandra.

Varen's mouth opened slightly and then closed again after hearing the answer from his father-in-law. Chandra smiled wisely, “That problem of you and your father's family is none of our business. We have no right to interfere! We just need to make sure our daughter gets married to a nice guy. But we are really disappointed in you.” said Chandra.

Varen knitted his eyebrows together, he did not understand the meaning of his father-in-law's words. Chandra was seen sighing and looking at Varen fixedly.

“Regarding Elora and Bobby's relationship. We marry Elora to you in the hope that she won't bother her sister's husband. But you're not even looking after your wife.”

“You even let their illicit relationship just continue.” Chandra said in a heavy voice. “While you have a chance to prevent that from happening.”

Varen lowered his head without trying to refute the words of his father-in-law.

“Sorry.”

“Reina was too innocent and trusted her husband very much. He never suspected Bobby or Elora. But we are not so, we see the attitude of Bobby who is too close to his brother-in-law that makes us suspicious.” he continued. Chandra's glaring gaze recalled the time he saw Bobby often take Elora to the office without his wife's knowledge.

“We thought their relationship would stop when Elora was married. But their relationship is becoming more and more. We've reminded Elora and Bobby a lot but they don't want to listen. Until the request of Elora to exchange husbands.” said Chandra with a trembling voice. There is sadness in the look on his face.

“We know if Elora's request sounds crazy but we think it's the right solution to end their affair. We don't want Elora to be touched without marriage and we don't want Reina to stay with a lecherous man like Bobby. That man is not worthy!”

Chandra Hasena rubbed her face in a huff, “That's why we agreed to their request. Exchanging husbands and exchanging wives is very difficult for us because we still have to accept Bobby as a son-in-law again. But that's the best way we can do.” Chandra and Indira shed tears.

Varen was stunned by the reality he had just heard. He never thought if there was a big reason behind the marriage exchange he did. Varen could only be silent could not say a word while staring at her two-in-law's day.

“We were forced to take a tough decision by hurting Reina. But we did that to save his life and his future. If he is not separated from Bobby then somehow destroyed his life later.” said Chandra Hasena.

Varen stared fixedly at the faces of his two in-laws. He could see the affection emanating from the look on their faces.

“Then why did mom chase Reina away that night?” vaen asked his mother-in-law. She is left wondering how Indira drove Reina cruelly out of Elora and Bobby's wedding.

Indira smiled bitterly, she had guessed that Varen would bring it up. “Mama was forced to expel him because it was the best way to keep Reina away from Bobby and Elora.”

“As parents, our hearts ache to see Reina's sadness when attending her sister's reception. And we also can't imagine how devastated Reina would be if she had to live with them. That's why we drove him away and we are grateful when you accompanied him and brought him to this house.” Indira said.

“To be honest we are afraid that you will take her to the Bimantya family home, Reina's heart injury has not healed and we do not want if Reina gets a new wound there.”. Varen was astonished to hear his in-laws, it turned out that everything that happened was already in their calculations.

“A week ago we came here to pick up Reina. We're afraid you abandoned him and he's still sad because of Bobby. We have already prepared a place for him at the cafe and we also plan to transfer the cafe management to him. But it turns out Reina has been working elsewhere. We are relieved to see him already have a job and activities at least he does not think about Bobby continue.”, said Chandra.

“But we were disappointed when we saw you left him alone at home. You even let Reina come home from work alone and we were worried, Reina was a coward. But we were relieved when we heard the sound of your car at that time.” said Indira chimed. Hearing the words of his two in-laws, Varen was envious of his wife.

Reina has parents who love her so much that she knows her nature and habits well. There was nothing more that Varen doubted about their affection for his wife.
