The Flash Back Off
Reynolds heart ached listening to Clara's explanation. Maxy is absolutely outrageous! How dare that man touch Clara.
"Clara, does she hurt you like this?" Reynold asked as he looked at Clara.
"I. yes, he always threatens me whenever I feel jealous," explained Clara as she wiped the clear circles that flowed through her cheeks.
Clara did not want to be pitied, so she did not want to cry in front of Reynold.
Reynold watched Clara from the glass in front of her car, he saw the woman fighting bitterly against her heart. So this is the real Clara, behind her success as Reynold's business partner and all her cheerfulness, the woman harbors her pain all by herself.
Crossing the road to his apartment, Reynold stopped his car.
"Rey, why are we stopping here? Aren't we at your apartment yet?" asked Clara who was a little surprised to see the situation around her.
"We'll be heading to my apartment soon, but first I want to ask you one thing" Reynold said, overlooking Clara.
"You want to ask what Rey is?" he looked at Reynold.
"Will you marry me?" ask Reynold frankly.
"What?, you're not copying Rey?" Clara suddenly became nervous. His body felt numb as if listening to Reynolds question.
"I'm serious Clara, will you marry me?" the man asked, holding Clara's hand.
"Why is this all of a sudden Rey? We haven't introduced each other to our families, but..."
Clara has not yet connected her words. Reynold hugged the girl.
"You don't have to worry. I will definitely meet you with my parents, if you want to marry me," the man explained back to him.
Clara just stood still and leaned over Reynold's shoulder. It's not that he turned down Reynold's request, it's just that he wasn't ready. He still needs time to get his heart set.
"I understand Clara. You must feel like it's all very impromptu, but trust me if you want I'll make you happy,"
"But you know Rey, I'm Maxy's fiancee and to let go of all her entanglements is not easy" she explained, keeping her head down.
"You don't have to worry. I promise I'll help you solve your problems with Maxy as soon as possible and I'll make sure she won't bother you again" Reynold tried to convince the woman.
Clara didn't know what to answer to Reynold. He just cried with Reynolds words.
"You believe me, don't you?" Reynold is still waiting for an answer from him.
"I believe in you, even believe in you, but you see for yourself my current situation. I can't be sure if I can start a new life with another man or not" she said.
"Ssttt. Don't talk like that" the man put his index finger on Clara's tiny lips. Then he continued his words.
"I understand Clara. I won't force you to answer now, but if you're ready just tell me."
Clara just nodded slowly. Then Reynold rubbed the girl's head and resumed his car.

Maxy had just opened her eyes, she felt a pain in her head from the blow of a hard object from Clara as she tried to force Clara. He felt the weight on his head. Slowly he got up from the bed with pain still lingering in his head.
"Claras... Clara... Where are you?"
The man's eyes tried to walk down each side of his room but he didn't see Clara. He tried to look into the bathroom and still could not find Clara.
He now circled every side of his apartment, but there was no sound of the girl, the atmosphere of his apartment was quiet, it seemed like he had been left alone.
"Aaarrgghh shit!!! Clara!!! You think you can just walk away from me? Huh uh?! You can get out of this apartment but you can never get away from me!!!"
The man is now emotionally disturbed. He really can't think straight anymore.
"Hello boss. Is there a new job for me?"
"Jack, I need you to find out where Clara is. You have to find out wherever he goes!!!" Tell the man to be called.
"Good boss. Me and my friends are gonna find out where Miss Clara is."
After he finished giving orders to Jack, the man immediately broke off the conversation.
***
Silvi and Vico just got home from school. They can't wait to tell their parents the good news.
"Ma. pa. I'm the same as Vico has come home," said Silvi while looking for the whereabouts of his mother and father.
"Eh, you guys are home. Tumben's coming home soon?"
marinka asked them to welcome them.
"Yes ma. Just look at the test results and thank God we became the best graduates." explained Vico to his in-laws.
"Oh good dong then. Oh yes, Silvi is pregnant you're well-advanced?" Ask Marinka.
"Well, ma. Also, the debay even gave a response that fit us again to the pleasure of passing." Clearly Silvi while rubbing her stomach slowly which began to appear enlarged.
"Well try papa wants to see your grades." Tukas Adi on the two teenagers.
"It's pa." Say both while giving their report cards and test scores.
Adi looks at their value carefully and after seeing their value Adi implies his sense of happiness.
On the sidelines of their happiness Marinka even remembered their covenant letter.
"Oh yes Vico, mama want to ask you, later this brother you want to continue college?"
"The plan is ma. I just want to work first. You see then I promised her father Hans to work in his company." Vico was obviously in his father-in-law.
"Oh yeah? What do you work for Vic?" Ask Adi enthusiastically.
"Sir Arya wants to make me the head of the workshop pa." Vico replied while watching his two in-laws.
"Wow, that's good. Papa's happy to hear that."
"How is Silvi?" Ask Marinka.
"I mean ma?" Silvi asked confused.
"You still remind me of your pre-wedding agreement? It's the third month you're married and remember your marriage is only for one year." Marinka is clearly on both.
Vico and Silvi just stared at each other. Today they are very happy with the small family they have built. Plus, they will have twins more complete happiness they have, but why is Marinka so hearty to say such a word? It feels too painful if a mother wants her child's marriage to end for the reason of wanting to continue her child's future.
"Ma, how do you say it so sich?" Sela Adi who feels disturbed by Marinka's attitude.
"Why pa? Mama just wants to take Vico with Silvi just so they don't forget their agreement." Marinka said with indifference.
Marinka is indeed the person who most wants their relationship as soon as it ends, because Marinka still considers Vico inappropriate together with Silvi. Marinka is obsessed with Silvi continuing her studies and becoming a career woman.
"Already ma. Don't push them too much. Mama should be happy because they're the best graduates." Bela Adi to the two children.
"Yes, I'm happy, but I'd be happier if Silvi could go to college. Try if Silvi ga kayak now surely he can take a scholarship abroad." Marinka.
"Papa did not think the same mama, under these circumstances mama should support them and let them do their best for their lives, but mama instead pressured them.
"Aaahh is pa. Papa never understood the same will of mama. Papa always defends them!." Marinka.
Then he left in front of the three men and went straight to his room.
