Arya trembled in fear, but she still braced herself to say, “Mas Wijaya, the original daughter of the Buana Family is the one who is engaged to you. Although the Candra Family has moved from Surabaya over the years, the Buana Family and the Candra Family have a close bond. What if Aunt Citra and Mrs Robi’ah still insist that you marry the daughter of the Buana Family?”
"Mas Wijaya, do you have a soulmate in your heart?" Arya asked shortly afterwards.
"What is soulmate?" The man raised a charming eyebrow.
Arya replied, “A soulmate is the one you love. You love and love that person so much that you will never marry anyone but him.”
The man shook his head a little. “I don't have it now, and I'm also not sure whether to have it in the future.”
Arya did not doubt the words of this man in the slightest. Even Arya will describe himself like the verse of the Sufi Rabiah Al Adawiyah:
If I worship You
For fear of your fire
Burn me in it
And if I worship You
Because I hope for your paradise
Take me away from him
But if I worship you
Because of my love for you
Don't blow your face away from me
***********
They were best friends from childhood, and he had never seen this man having sex with a woman. Even more difficult, the man was a devout Muslim. He spent his days searching for knowledge, working on documents in the office and the rest of his time giving’tikaf at the nearest mosque.
He would not be surprised even if the man would become a scholar in the future.
Pitaloka Buana continues to provoke and pretend to be sad so that public opinion is leaning towards him. In fact, she would easily win any battle just by becoming the original princess of the Buana Family.
Gayatri was well aware of her current situation, so she said while looking at Pitaloka Buana, “Pitaloka, I am truly sorry for occupying your identity as the daughter of the Buana Family for 17 years! I'll leave this place soon and return to where I came from.”
This place does not belong to Gayatri or the original owner of his body. As a result, he would not insist on staying.
Despite this, Pitaloka Buana was stunned for a moment.
He did not expect that Gayatri would take the initiative to go it alone. Things have become a little different in his past life.
In the past, Gayatri shamelessly insisted on living with the Buana Family. He was rejected by those around him and was eventually even killed by members of the Buana Family.
Pitaloka Buana prepared to come up with a scheme to humiliate this shameless person. However, with Gayatri's sudden decision to leave, how would she carry out her plan?
This Lac*r may deliberately succumb to further his own cause and pretend to gain the sympathy of others.
Thinking of this, a disdainful look appeared in Pitaloka Buana's eyes.
Is a loser like Gayatri trying to play him? That doesn't make any sense! He was a phoenix that rose into the sky! What is Gayatri? He's not even worthy of being a little sparrow!
Pitaloka Buana chuckled softly, and her lips formed a mocking smile.
“Back to its rightful owner? Gayatri, you took my life for 17 whole years and enjoyed a luxurious life all the time! Do you expect me to forgive you just by making a statement?”
Gayatri's facial expression was indifferent. “Please allow me to correct. It wasn't me who caused the baby exchange 17 years ago. It wasn't you, or our parents, and it was normal for you to hate me. You should hate the hospital more. If it wasn't for their negligence, our lives wouldn't have been switched! Miss Pitaloka, we're just babies being held up in those years. It's not our fault, so there's no need to talk about forgiveness.”
Although the original owner of her body had a bad reputation, she never really did anything bad to Pitaloka Buana. However, it was only natural for Pitaloka Buana to hate him. After all, anyone would not be happy to experience such an incident. However, Pitaloka Buana should not have provoked him either when he backed down willingly!
Pitaloka Buana sneered, and her eyes were filled with cynicism as she said, “Do you think a holy and strict place like a hospital can cause an incident of baby swapping at birth?”
Pitaloka Buana's words were made indifferently, yet caused a commotion in the crowd.
He's right! How could a hospital possibly cause such an incident?
Perhaps, someone deliberately swapped the baby at birth.
Gayatri's biological mother was a mistress. So, he has a great opportunity to do more evil actions.
If there was an outsider in his place, that person would definitely be shocked by Pitaloka Buana's words. However, the person standing in front of Pitaloka Buana was Gayatri. He was a professor and leader of a mercenary union that once stood at the top of the world at one point.
Gayatri lowered her gaze slightly and looked at Pitaloka Buana leisurely. Then, he replied in an indifferent tone, “Because what Miss Pitaloka said is so reasonable, I'm sure there must be enough evidence to prove that this incident was intentional, right? The laws in this country are just and right. Lawbreakers cannot outrun the law, so I will respectfully wait for Miss Pitaloka to file a lawsuit against me, with credible evidence!”
Pitaloka Buana narrowed his eyes. He felt panic in his heart for no apparent reason as he saw Gayatri standing in front of him. This person was clearly Gayatri, so why did she feel threatened?
Gayatri smile. “Without proof? You are basically just speculating, and making false accusations! On a more serious note, there are also violations known as defamation in our country!”
The strange feeling from before was getting stronger!
Pitaloka Buana could not allow himself to argue with Gayatri anymore because only the weaker party could get the crowd's attention and sympathy.
He had to do something to attract everyone's attention once again. Therefore, Pitaloka Buana's eyes glazed over and she said in a sobbing voice, saying, “You took my place in the family to live a good life for 17 years while I lived under a dark and damp bridge with your despicable mother. I live my life without knowing if I will get food tomorrow! Gayatri, do you think you deserve to stand here and criticize me!?”
Hearing that, Madame Wardah's hands trembled as she held Pitaloka Buana's hand.
They lived in a mansion for many years while her biological daughter was trapped under a bridge.
Is under the bridge suitable for human habitation? He wished he could immediately strangle Gayatri to death. In addition, the other people also looked at Pitaloka Buana with sympathy.
Gayatri slightly raised her head. “Both you and I are victims. I'm not criticizing you, but I'm just speaking the truth. Besides, I said that I will leave this place soon and my surname will be yours from now on. I don't have any connection with the Buana Family anymore, and you don't have to compound this issue either!”
Pitaloka Buana replied with flushed eyes, “How do I compound this problem? Why should you be so provocative? I just found the incident a little suspicious! I know that you don't want to part with my family, and be my parents' daughter for years! I'll treat you like my real sister from now on.”
"Yes God! Wijaya! Your fiance is too kind to forgive that fake princess after all that happened!” Arya was moved beyond words, as she had never met anyone as good as Pitaloka Buana.
Hearing that, the people in the crowd praised Pitaloka Buana for being too kind!
Gayatri smile. “Thank you for your goodwill, but this is not my home.”
Pitaloka Buana is stunned. What happened to Gayatri?
He had made a statement earlier to defend Gayatri, yet he still insisted on leaving.
The phallus immediately waved its hand and called for someone to bring the documents. "Since you've decided to leave, sign the inheritance treaty."
In Indonesia, even adopted children are entitled to inheritance. Since Gayatri had decided to sever ties with the Buana Family, Lingga did not want to give up his inheritance to an unrelated outsider and proposed this contract so as not to violate the legalistic portie heirs.
Gayatri actually signed the agreement without the slightest hesitation. The contract is then separated into two doubles.
Gayatri kept one of her copies and then said to Wardah and Lingga, "Uncle, aunt, goodbye."
Ever since the contract of agreement was signed, he no longer needed to call them father and mother. If he called them like that, others would definitely suspect that he was still planning something.
After saying that, Gayatri immediately knelt down and sungkem, to Wardah and Lingga. “Thank you for your love, love and concern for many years, uncle, aunty.”
Someone should thank you for the kindness of others.
The Buana family raised the original owner of Gayatri's body, so Gayatri gave her respect on behalf of the original owner.
“No, I can't let Gayatri just leave!” Pitaloka Buana still wants to use Gayatri for his plan!
If Gayatri leaves, who will marry that bastard?
Hatred flashed a glance across Pitaloka Buana's face. “Gayatri, I sincerely ask you to stay. It is always easy for the frugal to be wasteful but very difficult for the opposite to happen. I'm afraid you won't get used to living under a bridge. Stay, and we can be devoted children to father and mother.”
The words of Pitaloka Buana are very cleverly made!
On the one hand, he criticized Gayatri for being an ungrateful child for leaving without reciprocating their parents' love and attention. While the other side, implying his generous character.
Hearing that, the people in the crowd immediately looked towards Gayatri with different expressions.
He's right! Gayatri is ungrateful, right?
He had yet to repay the kindness of his parents, yet he wanted to avoid trouble by staying away from him!
After hearing that, Gayatri slightly turned her head back and said in an indifferent tone, “Nona Pitaloka, if I don't hear wrong, my mother has also raised you for 17 years, too, then why don't you stay with him and return the favor to him?”
Pitaloka Buana was stunned for a moment.
Gayatri did not give Pitaloka Buana a chance to argue, continuing to say. "Don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself!"
Pitaloka Buana did not believe that the person in front of his eyes was Gayatri! What the hell's going on? Since when did this foolish girl become so experienced? Could this be a butterfly effect due to its reincarnation?
Gayatri turned her gaze little by little to leave. By the time he did, his gaze was fixed on a pair of deep eyes.
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and an arrogant attitude emanated from behind his gaze. Nevertheless, his expression remained indifferent. He really doesn't care.
The man was wearing a plain flannel suit that was carefully puffed up to the top with the same retro-colored binder. Its well-hewn lower jaw was as perfect as a statue, while its bright skin exuded a chill. He had a tall, straight nose and his entire body was emitting an untouchable aura. He also carried the posture of someone looking down on the world arrogantly.
Gayatri was skilled at reading people, so she was naturally aware that this man was not an ordinary, influential official. He knew very well that this man was also not someone he could mess with, and did not want to be targeted by a man like this.
Shortly after, Gayatri averted her gaze without leaving a trace. He turned and left.
