Lies
Why'd You Do That?

Raya doesn't want to believe that reality. The fact that Karan has trapped Varen and Cindy. The hotel incident was the highlight. But before that, Karan had done many other dirty acts on Varen, including the occurrence of exchanging Varen shoes for Cindy and Raya. Varen can prove it. He carries a row of CCTV footage in which Karan is clearly having a conversation with a shoe store employee. The man even without any burden at all planned it and carried out his actions blatantly without the help of his man. If all this is true, then Karan has committed an unforgivable crime.

Not only did Karan spy on Raya during their marriage, confine and rule her entire life, Karan also hurt the people around Raya. At first it was just a threat. That was what the manager of the Kingdom had received before. However, the threat is moving into a real action. Reagan was proof of the stunt, in which Reagan had to get a major scandal caused by Karan. Raya thinks that's all Karan does. Unfortunately reality is far more painful than a mere delusion. Long before that, Karan also set up a scandal between Varen and Cindy that made Varen and Raya's engagement ruin.

“I can't believe my husband did it. Had he done it, it wouldn't have changed the reality of your relationship and Cindy's. With or without Karan, you will still prioritize Cindy from anything,” said Raya in self-defense. The woman not only wanted to defend her husband even though the act of the husband was considered a great crime. But Raya wanted to defend herself. Defending his decision to marry Karan. True, the initial choice was only to get money, but now Raya wants more. They want a relationship that complements each other.

Varen's forehead shriveled, then he raised his voice, “You still defend him apparently.” The man spoke in a very disappointed tone. It was unexpected that Raya would close her eyes and ears to Karan's actions. Though the woman knew, living with the person who committed the crime would make her depressed.

“Once again I stress Varen, I'm not defending my husband, but I'm just telling you his blessing. Though you were going to marry me by then, we were engaged. But you're still treating Cindy the way she was before. If you hadn't ignored him, maybe his business wouldn't have been like this. My belief in you will not be this low.”

Raya expressed what was entrenched in her heart all this time. Varen is too kind to Cindy who incidentally is only a friend of the man. If Cindy was his brother, Raya wouldn't be this angry. Or suppose Cindy is Varen's secretary, then Raya will not be suspicious of Varen. But in reality, Cindy is nobody. He is just a friend but gets a huge amount of attention from Varen, even more than Varen can give Raya. If it's like that, is it unnatural for Raya to be angry?

The conversation found a dark spot. They feel stuck in their own thoughts. Perhaps this is what keeps them from falling in love because each of them blames each other for the breakdown of their relationship. Varen can't make any new statements other than explaining that Cindy's just his best friend. That is proven until now Varen still has not forgotten Raya. He sincerely loved the woman even though he did not get a reply. Varen is also willing to be used by Raya. All evidence of Varen's love for the super model.

However, when faced with Cindy, Varen was silent. Cindy and Raya are people who are precious to her. If her feelings towards Raya are feelings of the opposite sex, then her feelings towards Cindy are much more superficial. Only limited to the feelings of an older brother who wants to keep and protect his little sister. Family feeling, nothing more. Unfortunately the people around him responded in the wrong way so that their angle was different.

Varen could say nothing more than an apology to Raya. He has no intention of hurting Raya. That was why he found out what happened a few months ago and passed on all the evidence he had gathered to Raya. Let the woman know that the husband who has been with her is not a good man. The man is simply someone who lives by manipulating circumstances. Lying to those around him. Varen was convinced long before that day, because he had done a lot of lies to cover up his ugliness.

*******

The conversation with Varen was over and Raya got back in the car. Before the car drove, again there were people who blocked it. This time it was not Varen, but her own husband who had somehow suddenly been there. Raya's feelings were still shaken as a result of her conversation with Varen just now, and now the person they were talking about was in front of them. It makes Raya feel frustrated. His head immediately felt pain that second as well.

“Kak, please stop. We must not make a fuss here,” said Raya as Ika was preparing to descend, intending to block Varen from approaching Raya. However, they are still on set. All the ad production staff were still hanging around there. There is no guarantee that paparazzi are not around. Better to give up. To keep the conditions conducive. To keep her image as a super model. A Kingdom that always upholds an attitude of professionalism will not allow small disturbances to damage its image. “I'll be down,” he told the manager.

With a few heavy breaths, Raya approached Karan. “Let's get in your car,” he said without saying any trite first, but he still showed a smile that was so charming on his lips. It was as if describing her enthusiasm and happiness as a wife being picked up by her husband.

Karan initially suspected Raya would reject him. But upon hearing the sentence just now, Karan became very happy. “Iya, come,” he said approvingly.

Karan clasped Raya's hand, helping the wife who looked a little shady to get to her luxury car. The condition did make Karan had time to wonder, but his mind immediately got an answer without asking a single question. Maybe Raya is tired. Filming had just taken place and they were filming outside the building. It was definitely the scorching sun plus some scenes made Raya exhausted. So, Karan does not want to damage the mood of Raya by expressing things that are not important.

“So, why did you come here?” raya said when Ian had brought a luxury car Karan across the highway to leave the set. “Do you have no pity to leave that woman alone?” sindir Raya's. His memory still drifted far into the figure of the woman he had met in Karan's office. The fact that the husband was silent on the identity of the woman made Raya furious. In fact, his frustration is becoming more and more so now. His anger was unstoppable again.

Karan knows his wife is still angry. It was natural considering how stupid he was that day. Had their position been exchanged and Karan occupied the position of the wife, Karan would have given a similar response. He would be very angry to see his wife hiding the identity of another man. “He's nobody, honey. Really am! He was just my acquaintance in High School.” Karan tried to explain, but Raya seemed to have no faith at all. Finally, Karan also said the identity of the woman named Dona. “She is a cop.”

When Karan tells a police officer, Raya somehow thinks of other things, namely Karan's crime against Varen. The man locked her in the room for a few days. Restricting him from the outside world just because he approached another man. Even to do the trapping action to Varen and Reagan. No one guarantees Karan will not commit any other crime. Especially now that the man is dealing with the police. A police officer who arrived had to meet him in the office wearing ordinary clothes, not his office clothes. Can Raya not put great suspicion on the husband?

“Police? Why can the police meet you in person in your office?” tanya Raya is so curious.

Raya's sharp eyes made Karan nervous again. Finally, the man also gave up his intention to express all the truth. “There are only a few affairs.”

Raya strafed Karan with several questions at once. “Urusan? What business? What the hell is going on with you? Did you do anything dangerous? Why did you deal with the police?”

Raya's body looked violently shaken when she heard the word police. Not only was his speech fast, but his body showed an extremely exaggerated reaction. The kingdom trembled, his face turned pale and streaks of sweat began to fall from his temple. That made Karan respond quickly. He touched both of Raya's shaken shoulders and said, “Relax Darling. Cool out! Nothing happened to me. Nothing happened to us. I'm fine, and I'll guarantee you're okay.”

“But, why are you in contact with the police?”

“This is not what you think. We talked about a few things about office security. That's all.”

Again, Raya showed a suspicious look at Karan. “Why does the office business involve the police?”

“For that, I can't tell you, dear. That's company secret.”

“Why? Am I not part of your company? I'm the director of your foundation, Karan. Isn't that enough to let me know what's going on? Or is there something you're hiding from me? Is that a crime?” cecar Raya again mercilessly at Karan. He did not care at all even though Karan felt so depressed and confused to answer his questions one by one.

If Karan can hide a lot from her, why can't Raya go after Karan? After all, Karan only had to answer. The man only had to argue that he had not committed a single crime. Karan's rebuttal could also be a guarantee to Raya about all the allegations levelled by Varen. Another case if Karan really committed a crime. The man would not be able to cover it up forever even though he tried his hardest. Because sooner or later, all the hidden crimes will be revealed someday.
