Love and Marriage Contract
Karina Plan (2)

Without hesitation Karina took her step into Arga's house to meet Arga's parents.

"Good morning aunt" said Karina to Nadine who was standing at her doorstep.

"No need to mince words, what did you mean by coming here?" nadine asked at once.

"Didn't Auntie allow Karina to sit down?" asked Karina with a smile.

Nadine did not say anything and took her steps to sit on the chair on the porch of the house followed by Karina who sat in front of Nadine.

"How are aunt and uncle David?" ask Karina.

"Tell me what it means to come here, if it wasn't for Arga aunty definitely wouldn't have let you into this house" Nadine replied without answering Karina's question.

"Before Karina said it, Auntie had to tell Karina about what really happened to Arga and why she was in the hospital, was Bianca sick?" karina asked at once.

"Why do you know if Arga's in the hospital?" nadine replied, surprised to hear what Karina said because no one knew about what happened to Arga and Bianca.

Karina smiles and picks up the phone in her bag and shows Arga's message on her phone to Nadine.

A message asking Karina to meet Arga at the hospital.

"Why does he want you to meet him at the hospital? what are you guys talking about?" nadine asked who was surprised to see Arga's message on Karina's phone.

"Aunt Aunt why?" reply Karina asked.

"You have chosen to leave Arga so never intend to approach her again, let alone attempt to damage the Arga and Bianca household!" said Nadine.

"Karina did not intend to approach Arga at all let alone damage the Arga and Bianca household, it was Arga itself who seemed to want to end his household with Bianca," Karina replied.

"Whatchu mean? don't talk to Karina!" nadine was surprised to hear Karina.

"Maybe Arga never told Daffa or aunt, because of course Daffa and aunt would not let Arga approach Karina so only Karina and Arga themselves know how our relationship really is," reply Karina.

"Arga couldn't have been like that if you hadn't approached him first!" nadine said she did not believe it.

"It was precisely Arga who approached Karina even after she married Bianca," Karina replied.

Nadine shook her head slowly and then moved from her seat.

"Go back to your affair and never bother Arga again!" nadine told Karina.

"Why is Aunt in such a hurry? Karina hasn't even said what Karina's purpose here is," replied Karina who refused to move on from her seat.

Nadine brought her gaze to Karina without saying anything. In his heart there was anger that he was trying to endure, not only angry at Karina but also at Arga if what Karina said was true.

"Karina here just wanted to tell auntie if it turns out that Arga still loves Karina and it looks like Karina also still loves Arga, shouldn't we be together if we love each other!" karina said, looking into the eyes of Nadine who was standing in front of her.

"If you love her, there's no way you're cheating on her, Karina!" reply Nadine.

"It was Karina's greatest misery and Karina regretted it now, Karina realized that it was only Argilah the man Karina loved and only Karina the woman Arga loved, even after she married Bianca," karina.

"Stop talking Karina bullshit!" nadine was upset.

"It's not Auntie's nonsense, Auntie can ask Arga herself if the aunt doesn't trust Karina, ask Arga what we've been doing behind Bianca's back, even while you're all on vacation, so ask Arga what we've been doing, what is Arga doing with Karina there without your knowledge!"

"entertained? what do you mean when we were in Lombok?" ask Nadine.

"Aaahh Aunty still remembers apparently, what aunt Karina really thought was there by chance?" reply Karina.

Nadine just silently tried to hold back the emotions in her.

"Does Auntie remember when Arga couldn't get together with you guys while there? what was Aunt thinking at the time? where did Arga go and what did Arga do? did Auntie never think that Arga was spending time with Karina?" asked Karina with a smile.

Nadine is still silent trying to dig her memory of what Karina said and she also remembers when Arga let Bianca come to the beach first and when Arga met them, Arga carries the hat he gave to Bianca and also to her.

"So that time....."

"Arga was with Karina without Bianca's knowledge, om and aunt" said Karina cut Nadine's speech with a smile.

"Don't that show how Arga prioritizes Karina over Bianca?" karina asked.

Nadine shakes her head slowly, trying to keep thinking positively given how Arga almost hurt himself just for the sake of Bianca who already has no life expectancy.

"Karina apologizes if Karina ever did anything wrong to om and auntie, but now Karina really regretted it so Karina hope om and aunt can accept the fact that Karina and Arga still love and let us live our relationship without hiding anymore" said Karina.

"Don't ever expect that to happen Karina, Arga is Bianca's husband and that's never going to change" Nadine replies.

"They're just husband and wife but they don't love each other, auntie must know how Arga loved Karina so much, not if it wasn't for Karina leaving her maybe until now we would have stayed together because Arga always forgave the mistakes Karina made" said Karina.

Nadine was speechless, what Karina said was indeed true. He remembered how Arga's life had been messed up since Karina left him.

"Now Karina is back aunt, so please let Karina and Arga be together, it might be better if Arga ends her marriage to Bianca and....."

THE PLAAAAAAAKKKK

One loud slap landed on Karina's cheek, leaving Karina instantly speechless withstanding the pain on her cheek.

"Quick get out of here before Aunt really runs out of patience hearing all that crap!" nadine said with great affirmation.

"If your aunt doesn't trust Karina right now, you can ask Arga how she still loves Karina so much, how Arga once spent her days with Karina even after she married Bianca!" karina said and smiled and took her steps away.

In her heart there was a sense of anger that was ready to explode if it was true what Karina said about her relationship with Arga.

"There's no way Arga could have done that, he loves Bianca so much, but...... do I have to ask Arga? do I have to make it clear to Arga that she really ends her relationship with Karina?" nadine asked inwardly.

"What's the matter ma? why is Mama daydreaming here?" asked David who suddenly approached Nadine.

Nadine just smiled by shaking her head and then walked into the house followed by David who did not know the arrival of Karina, because he was busy in his study when Nadine met Karina.

**

Time passed, Nadine and David had just arrived at the hospital. They immediately walked into the room of the doctor who treated Bianca to ask about Bianca's condition.

After getting an explanation from the doctor if Bianca's condition is stable, Nadine and Davidpun go to Bianca's room, sitting there to accompany Bianca until Arga comes.

David sat on the sofa reading the newspaper, while Nadine sat by Bianca's bed staring at Bianca's tightly closed eyes.

"Have you been hiding anything from Bianca's mom all this time? did you know all along that Arga was hiding something from you?" nadine asked in her heart.

"Wake up Bianca and tell mom everything, make sure Arga stays yours, you won't let anyone take Arga away from you because you're sure you're the best for Arga," nadine said in her heart while holding Bianca's hand.

After a few hours there, the door to Biancapun's room opened, Arga entered Bianca's room with a smile.

After cleaning up and changing clothes, Argapun immediately approached Bianca.

"Look ma, she is still very beautiful even when she is asleep for a long time" Arga told Nadine, staring at Bianca's pretty face.

"Do you love her so much, Arga?" nadine asked, which made Arga immediately bring his eyes to the mother.

"Arga wouldn't have waited for him all this time if Arga didn't love him ma, Bianca is Arga's life so Arga would have done anything to keep Bianca with Arga" Arga replied.

"What about Karina?" nadine asked which made Arga a little surprised because suddenly the mother asked about Karina.

"Why did Mom suddenly ask that?" david walked towards Nadine.

"Papa remembers not how Arga used to love Karina so much, her life even fell apart when Karina left her, she...."

"Please don't discuss the matter in front of Bianca ma, Arga doesn't want Bianca to misunderstand!" arga cut off the mother's words.

"It's just the past, we all have good or bad pasts and I'm sure Arga must have forgotten her past with Karina, whether it was a good or bad past for her," said David.

"But Karina...."

"Ma, pa, please get out of here if you guys still keep discussing that matter!" said Arga who did not like to hear her mom and dad talk about Karina in front of Bianca.

"You should also go out, there's something you want to ask you about what Bianca shouldn't have heard!" nadine said then moved from her seat and walked out of the room Bianca followed by her husband and Arga.

"What's the matter ma? why are you suddenly talking about Karina? did you just meet her?" david asked his wife.

"Mama just wanted to make sure something to Arga pa" Nadine said without answering her husband's questions.

"Please tell me honestly to mom and dad, how exactly are you with Karina, Arga?" nadine asked Arga.

"There is no connection whatsoever between Arga and Karina, what has happened between the two of us is over" Arga replied without hesitation.

"When has your relationship really ended? what was it before you married Bianca? or after you married Bianca? ask Nadine.

Hearing the mother's question, Arga was silent for a while, he did not understand why the mother suddenly asked him that.

"The answer to Mama Arga's question, if you don't answer it, you'll conclude that you're still in touch with Karina even after you've married Bianca!" said Nadine.

"Arga loves Bianca ma, how Arga must prove to Mama that Arga really loves Bianca and has forgotten Arga's past with Karina!" reply Arga who did not answer the question of the mother.

"Papa could see how Arga loved Bianca ma, at a time when everyone had given up on Bianca's situation only Argalah was convinced by Bianca's recovery, did Mama not see it?" david Sahut.

Nadine fell silent and dropped herself on the chair in front of Bianca's room. He saw how Arga was so confident in Bianca that he would be aware of her coma when everyone doubted it, Arga even hurt himself when the doctor would remove Bianca's life support device.

But there was a rift in Nadine's heart after she heard everything Karina told her, she was worried that Arga would not completely forget Karina and have a relationship with Karina behind Bianca.

Seeing the Mama who was suddenly silent, Arga then rested in front of the mother and grasped both hands of the mother.

"If indeed Karina told Mama something about Arga, please don't believe it, Arga was never crazy because of Karina, but it was the past and stupidity of Arga at that time, Arga said, now everything is different ma, now Arga has Bianca and Arga loves her very much," Arga said by looking into his eyes.

Nadine just kept quiet without saying anything, although she wanted to trust Arga completely but the unease in her heart could not just disappear.

"Arga does have a past with Karina, Arga had loved him a lot but it was completely gone since Arga realized that Arga loved Bianca and now only Bianca was in Arga's heart, Arga will give up anything for Bianca even if it's Arga's own life" Arga said.

Nadine let out a long sigh then looked at Arga who was resting before her.

"Mommy trusts you Arga, please don't disappoint mom and dad let alone Bianca, Mama and papa know she is a good wife to you, she has helped you a lot too!" said Nadine.

Arga nodded his head with a smile and sat down next to his mother and hugged her tightly.

"Thank you for trusting Arga ma" said Arga, letting go of his arms to her mother.

"For now I will trust you Arga, even if what Karina says is true, I hope it is over given how much you want to keep Bianca" Nadine said.

After Mama and her father came home, Arga then went into Bianca's room and sat down next to Bianca.

"You didn't hear what Mom and Dad said, did you? I promise I'll tell you everything after you wake up from your long sleep, but I hope you won't misunderstand what I'll tell you later" Arga said, clasping Bianca's hand.
