I Love the Light
Randi knows the truth.

"She is neither my servant nor my mistress, but she is my wife" Gilang said, ignoring Light's request.

Randi flinched and his mouth was like it was locked for a while.

"Wife?" randy murmured, it's hard to believe.

"Yes! she's my wife!" resolute Cross, steady.

Randi stares back at the Light, demanding an explanation.

"Why are you lying, Light? every time I ask who brought you to college, you always answer 'my master'. Is this the reason you, too, refused lunch with me back then?"

"So, you're the lecturer who took my wife to lunch?" squealed Gilang, suddenly with a very sharp look in his eyes.

"Yes, it's me! I like Light, but it's because I don't know at all that she's your wife" Randi said, glancing cynically at Light.

"Sorry, Mr. Randi. I really don't mean to lie, but I have a reason why I'm not being forthright" Light replied as he lowered his head.

"Reason? what is the reason because you do not want to be insulted and branded by people? because as far as I know and people also know, if Gilang is engaged," said Randi, cynical.

"Don't just talk!" Glad to anger, seeing the Light begin to be cornered.

"So what's the reason?" tanya Randi, did not feel afraid to see the look on Gilang's face.

"You don't need to know the reason, because it's not for public consumption" Gilang replied, firmly and straightforwardly.

Randi snorted and looked towards the Light with a condescending look. "I feel sorry for you, Light. Married but kept secret. It's the same if you're not considered a wife in public. Is it because Gilang is rich, that's why you want to marry him? if so, it means you are the same as the materialistic women out there," again Randi said with a cynical look.

"Sir Randi, from earlier you seem to have gone too far, insulting the Light. You don't know anything, so don't accuse me!" Gilang looks still trying to talk without a high voice, because he believes that if it had happened, it would be a spectacle of visitors at the restaurant

"Wait a minute, I'm not done talking!" Gilang raised his hand, as soon as he saw that Randi was about to open his voice again.

"For our marriage problems that until now are still covered, it's because of something that seems like, you don't need to know. Just so you know, I just have to wait for the right time to announce it. As for my engagement to Dania, it wasn't because she and I loved each other, but because of something, too. Do you think I should marry a woman I don't love at all?" connect Gilang back with a cold face.

"Even if you don't love, Dania at least you should cancel the engagement first, before you get married. Is this how you don't belong to having played a woman?" sahut Randi's.

"As I said earlier, Mr. Randi, I have a reason not to cancel the engagement first. And once again I emphasize, whatever the reason, you have no right to know.Come, Light!" Gilang grabbed the Light's hand and was about to get out of his seat.

Without them realizing it, Reyna who wanted to have lunch was also at the place, apparently already standing by their table and heard what they were discussing.

"Sir Reyna!" murmuring Light very softly.

"Reyna, we go first!" Gilang who had been overcome by anger, again grabbed the hand of Light and invited him out.

Meanwhile, Bayu scratched his head, confused about what to do.

"Then I leave too, Mr. Randi, Reyna!" Bayu stood up from his chair and headed to the cashier to pay for his order, Gilang and also Cahaya, even though it had not been eaten at all.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"May I sit here?" Reyna opened her voice, asking for permission first on the man whose face was on it.

"Please!" randi replied, lazy.

Reyna sighed quite heavily, then sat down beside Randi.

"This is the reason why I said yesterday that you can't get the Light, because I know that she's married" Reyna said, after a brief silence.

"Why didn't you tell me? why did you let me put high hopes on her?" randi said with a sharp look demanding an explanation.

"Because as Gilang said earlier, their marriage is still a secret. So I feel like it's not my domain to tell you. I just want you to know for yourself, not because I told you. I'm sorry that you had time to put your hope in the Light" Reyna replied with a look on her face, guilty.

Randi, don't say it anymore. The man's heart really hurt, like it was overrun by thousands of needles.

"Bu-not!"refute Reyna, nervous.

Randi squinted his eyes, trying to read Reyna's honesty through the look on her face. Meanwhile, Reyna felt very uneasy and turned her gaze in the other direction.

"I've found the answer! randy said with a smirk smile.

"What-what answer?" reyna asked in a trembling voice.

"I already know, if the man who broke your heart and cried, it really is Gilang. You don't have to deny it anymore!"

"Don't you know!" Reyna is still trying to deny it.

"I'm not pretentious, but I'm pretty sure that my guess is correct, and you can't avoid it anymore" Randi remained tight-lipped with her opinion.

"If he's what?" Reyna suddenly closed her mouth, because she had unconsciously admitted that the man who was still the owner of her heart was Gilang.

"You finally admit it" said Randi, grinning cynically.

"Ok, I've already admitted it, but as I said last night, if I'm sincere because I know what the reason behind their marriage is,"

"Last night you said you used to love each other, but you were willing to let go of her with another girl, for a reason. That girl must be Dania, right?" tukas Randi with great confidence.

"Yes" answered Reyna. "That's because he already loved Gilang from childhood, but not with Gilang. He was so angry that he knew that Gilang and I had a relationship, and then he committed suicide. I don't want that until it happens, because we've been friends since we were kids. That's why I asked Gilang to accept Dania's love. So, that is the reason why Gilang can be engaged to Dania," continued Reyna, again with a sad face.

"So why did Gilang marry the Light? why aren't you angry? isn't this how your sacrifice used to be in vain?" Randi tries to extract information from Reyna to eliminate her curiosity.

"Nothing is in vain! before Gilang got married, she first gave me permission, and told me the reason why she had to marry Light, and why their marriage should be kept secret. It was all he did to protect the Light from the wrath of Dania. You must have known, what is the true character of Dania right?"

Randi did not answer at all. The memory of the way that Dania cursed the Light and of the woman who almost knocked Reyna, flashed back in her mind.

"He's the most selfish person I've ever known, Rand. Whatever he wants he must be able to get, however, including wanting to have Gilang completely. My own best friend wants to be sacrificed just for his personal benefit. So, actually if you can choose, Gilang also does not want his marriage with Light covered. Much will happen if their marriage is announced, which will inevitably lead to negative speculations from people, which will indirectly affect the company. I think you who are in it must know what will happen," explained Reyna back at length.

"Last night you said Gilang married Light, because there's a reason. Can I know?"

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you, because I don't have the right to it" Reyna replied firmly.

"In that case, I can conclude that their marriage was not due to love each other. Light must have been forced to marry Gilang, so that he could live a luxurious life, and of course could go to college. Well then, that means I still have a chance to get the Light, because I'm sure Gilang doesn't love the Light,"

"Have you forgotten why I cried last night? that's because I saw how worried Gilang was about the Light. Gilang hugged the Light tightly and was completely afraid that the Light would be harmed by Dania. Because previously Dania crossed the Light. From there I was sure that the Light had succeeded in occupying Gilang's heart. And what do you think about that? what are you looking at? do you see that there is no love between them?"

Randi fell silent again, because indeed what he saw earlier, Gilang really protected the Light and was very angry because he had dared to insult his wife

"One more thing, for the problem he married Gilang because he wanted to live a luxurious life and could go to college, you are wrong. Light is not that kind of person" Reyna said.

"Reyna, I was actually very curious as to why Gilang married the Light, and why the Light wanted to marry. I promise that if I know what the real reason is, I won't bother the Light again. And like you, I'm going to clench it." this time I see Randi's face really bleak, because I swear by anything, that guy's really very curious.

"Can you be trusted?" ask Reyna to make sure.

"Yes! you can hold my word!" randy is very sure.

Reyna stared intensely into Randi's eyes to ensure the man's sincerity. The woman then exhaled, after seeing from the man's eyes there was solemnity.

Without thinking anymore, Reyna finally told the reason Gilang married Cahaya because he wanted to return the favor, as well as to avoid marriage with Dania. Later, Reyna also recounts the reason Reyna accepted marriage for the sake of the children's home, and regained her parents' home.

"That's how it really is. But, as time went on, the two of them who used to have no feelings, now that love seemed to have started to grow. Because indeed from the beginning Gilang had emphasized not going to divorce the Light and learn to love him. Light is a woman who has a positive aura, so it is easy to make a man fall in love with her, just like you who quickly fall in love with her" Reyna concluded.

Randi sighed, and suddenly a feeling of guilt arose in his heart because he had thought negatively about the Light.
