Just Love Figurant
Chapter 33

Should be, Marcel rested and recovered stamina to start the activity tomorrow morning. But look this morning, Marcel was just pensive himself behind the large window of the balcony.

Heavy rain washed over the capital this morning. The weather is uncertain, with many secrets that are hard to guess. So also with life and nature are equally full of mystery.

Luci was still asleep with a smooth snoring heard. The man only covered his wife so as not to get cold, without any intention of moving the slender body of Luci to their spacious bed. Marcel is worried, the man wakes up Luci if he moves Susi to the bed.

About Renata?

The beginning of her scandal with Renata is when Renata cries and wants to meet Lusi one month ago. However, Marcel prevents under the pretext, he does not like if Renata often meets Lusi. So Marcel heard Renata's curse.

Life is indeed governed by destiny, run by humans, and becomes a reason to be blamed if a sin occurs. Just look at this moment. The man named Marcel Dinata blames fate for his meeting with Renata some time ago, even though he deliberately created a scandal with Renata, only to be able to satisfy his ego and fulfill his obsession.

Not love. What Marcel felt was just an obsession. The man can't tell which love is obsession. Though the love in his heart grew slowly with a very terrible, only on the wife.

Since the union with Lusi, Marcel felt different, and there was a difficult sense Marcel said. Only, Marcel was too naive to admit it.

Hesti had left about half an hour ago, however, Marcel could not do much at this time, to prevent him from leaking everywhere all about his scandal with Renata.

Soon, news of Marcel's decay would surely spread by itself.

In silence accompanied by heavy rain, Marcel exhaled a long breath. This time, the real problem had been created from him. If anything happens to Lusi and their marriage, Marcel is to blame. Marcel knows that.

"What are you doing, Renata? Waiting for Marcel Dinata?" a soft, sweeping voice in a haggard tone, came out of Hesti's mouth, startled Renata and made the woman frown.

Renata now sits alone in a cafe frequented by Marcel. The woman had already made an appointment for lunch with Marcel. Only, almost half an hour passed from the agreement the hour they met, Marcel still did not come.

Faintly, Renata's memory is about some moments in the office where he worked first, precisely in the office which is also Marcel's workplace, Renata is no stranger to the face of a teenage girl in front of him.

"Sorry, who are you?" asked Renata curiously.

Renata got up, and greeted Nesti kindly, although he himself was not sure, if he was an important girl in the company.

"I'm Hestia Praja Bekti, the only daughter of Alex Atmadja and Aridha Praja Bekti Atmadja" hesti explained calmly.

A surprised lightning appeared in Renata's eyes. This was the first time Hesti had met Renata. According to Hesti, Renata is indeed quite beautiful, very beautiful for the size of the woman Marcel likes. It was only fitting that Marcel was so infatuated with this woman, and Lusi chose to retreat instead of having to compete with Renata.

"Miss Hesti, you came here alone?" ryan began to feel uncomfortable.

"Yes, alone of course," hesti replied as he glanced left and right, making sure the bodyguards protecting him remained ready to mingle with the crowd.

"How are you, Renata? You're much more contained and more beautiful now. The jewelry you wear, it's also very fancy."

"Thank you, Miss," Renata replied nervously.

Hesti's sharp gaze stripped Renata, intimidating and suppressing Renata's confidence and courage. If Renata had no scandal with Marcel, maybe Renata would not be as worried and as scared as this.

"Forget Marcel, he's not coming this time. Let's talk, there's something I want to show you, Renata," Hesti asked, sitting across from Renata.

Renata sat down, feeling increasingly uneasy over the sudden presence of this Nesti. The situation was quite silent, with a long silence of about twenty minutes without anyone starting the conversation.

"I know about your scandal and my brother, Renata. Do you think I'll stay quiet after I find out? And one more thing, I'll tell you one more thing, I won't tell the big family and Lusi's sister, "Hesti later said.

Renata's heart seemed to want to jump right then and there. The woman's face slowly turned deathly pale, with a reddish hue that began to fade and disappear from her face. Renata is afraid that he will deal with a rich man like Alex.

"My father and my mother will probably remain silent, and they will only watch from afar if they find out about your foul scandal. But I can't guarantee it, Father and Sister Marcel. They may be a simple family, but compared to you, obviously you're nothing compared to them" Hesti added.

Renata silently remained silent, looking at Nesti fearfully. The teenage girl in front of him was not an indiscriminate person that Renata could fight against. But what about the feelings he has for Marcel?

Unfortunately, the feeling grew just like that after he had problems with his household with his husband. Why not from before? That's what Renata regrets.

"What do you mean, Miss Hesti? I think you're wrong. I don't have any relationship with Marcel, your brother," replied Renata trying to stand up and defend herself. Unfortunately, all has already happened, Nesti is not a woman who easily believes.

His instincts and sense of belonging are sharp, not easily influenced by lies.

"If so, be prepared to hear the news that will be spread soon, Renata. Maybe this will hurt your best friend, Lusi, but the effect will be very powerful for your life in the future" said Hesti, twirling his phone on the table.

"In my phone, there's a lot of evidence I have of your affair. You think, sister Lusi will still love let alone put her empathy again on you? Let's prove it!"

Hesti exclaimed with his sly smile. The girl's eyes pierced Renata's heart. But what else can Renata do? The woman grew up in endless fear. Shit, it's all been uncovered. Just wait for time, all the veils will open.

There were many plans that he had devised to separate Renata and Marcel, although he did not involve his family and parents.

Between Renata and Hesti, they were just as petty. They're balanced, aren't they?
