Luka Cinta Dara
Chapter 13 Reasons for Rani's hatred

Dara still doesn't budge. From outside his body is still visible with a firm sitting position. But who knows in it. Like a ship in the middle of the sea that was hit by a storm so big. His heart was so broken. His hands clenched so tightly, that his fingernails pierced through the pads of his palms. Looks like fresh blood is breaking out of the lake. No one realizes that.

"Darling this is all I can explain. Everything is not as you imagine. I beg you to believe me, "Rey begged Dara.

Dara still doesn't budge. His tongue was a little too hard to utter even a single word.

"Bella what do you really want?"

"You want some money? I can give you, just don't ruin my house!" asserted Rey with her overflowing emotions.

"I never wanted this to happen, sir. From the beginning it wasn't me who started it" Bella defended herself.

"I've been trying to get away from Mr. Rey, too" Bella began sobbing. Her tears were unstoppable.

"Sir Rey also already knows, I try to keep the house of the Father not contaminated with my existence. Even though I was the victim, even though I was hurt," Bella's cry really broke.

"But Mr. Rey, now the story is different. It turned out that I was pregnant because of Mr. Rey," Bella cried covering her face with both palms.

It's true, for nearly two months after the events of that night, Bella was completely distanced.

"Sorry, I'm not sure if the fetus in your womb is my son. I refuse to marry you. No!! That's not gonna happen,"

"Enough Mr. Rey looked down on me! I am not a cheap woman! I can prove it with a DNA test" Bella said firmly.

Bella's words were like lightning piercing through her body. Rey hasn't been around long. He got up from the sofa and pulled the hand of his wife who had been silent for a thousand words. But his intention was stopped when he heard the sentence that was thrown from Rani.

"Mama has already decided on your wedding schedule. Next week prepare yourself each of you," said Rani clearly.

Everyone in the living room turned to Rani. Surprise so clearly visible on the face of each and every Dara. Does not believe that Rani can make decisions unilaterally.

For Bella, holding Rey to account was her goal, but it was never thought it would be that fast.

Rey, who heard the words of her mother, turned her eyes red. His brain wanted to explode. Do not accept because his mother is too involved with his household problems.

"Ma! did you ever think about it before giving that one-sided decision?!"

"What else to think? you impregnated her so you are obliged to marry her. Don't embarrass our family Rey!"

"Papa and Mama never taught you to be remiss with your responsibilities!"

"Prepare yourself for next week. There's no rebuttal, because it's your own risk,"

The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds. Rey and Rani seemed to pause the duration to restore their breath that had run out because of their debate.

"And you," Rani began to speak again while circulating her cynical gaze at Dara.

"Be a good wife and don't be selfish. Never once have you banned Rey from marrying Bella,"

"In this case, your voice is not needed" he said.

"Or you can file for divorce,"

Dara who had been silent without a word that came from her sweet mouth suddenly felt weak, her legs as if there were no bones supporting.

Rey who was beside him swiftly caught his body so as not to fall. Hugging his body affectionately, as if he did not want the slightest injury to Dara. The two Rey netra stared intently at Rani.

"Don't hurt my wife with your words, Rey please Mah!" rey said in a low tone but sounded furious.

Bella watched the scene of husband and wife in front of her feeling sad. His heart was in pain from when he began to feel jealous. She also feels hurt and also deserves protection from Rey because of the fetus in her stomach.

"Mama said this was all the result of me,"

"But I'm sure Mama also took part in the incident that night." Accuse Rey of Rani.

"What do you mean Rey? take a hand what?" rani asked confused who did not understand Rey's words.

"I'm sorry, Madam. It's not max that I want to ruin your child's household. But it just happened without me wanting it," Bella bowed.

"I already know what happened to you,"

"Remember my decision to marry you is because it should be done and I do not want the good name of the Erlangga family to be tarnished because of your careless actions" said Rani firmly.

"I understand. Well I took my back first. Excuse me," said Bella politely and then waltzed away from Rani's presence.

Now Rani lives alone in that spacious and luxurious room of yours. Without him knowing, Rangga the husband who had noticed from the beginning of the heated debate between the child and his wife. He witnessed for himself there would be a source of harmony rift in the marriage of the only son of the puppet that he loved so much. His heart was broken because of the problems his son and daughter-in-law were facing. Of course, Rangga also loves Dara very much.

Rangga stepped on his feet, approaching his wife who was still sitting there.

"You should not be too involved in the affairs of our son Ma's household. Let him solve his own problems" said Rangga.

"What's your max Pa? This is also for the good of our child and the good name of our family" Rani said.

"But you've gone too far,"

"No. Decision's right. They should have married. Does Papa want to see our child labeled bad for impregnating people's children and not want to be responsible?"

"The thing that befell our child is indeed very unfortunate," Rengga sighed. I hope it will ease his worries.

"But Ma. At least you respect Dara as Rey's wife. Kasian. Your hatred is obvious,"

"Again Papa defended him. It makes me sick of Pa!"

"Your hatred is not basic,"

"Papa knew clearly because of my hatred,"

"Aren't you able to forget something that happened a long time ago? it's just Ma's past."

"If it's just the past, has Papa really forgotten that woman?" rani stared hard at Rangga.

Rangga who heard his wife's question arrived - just his tongue came. As if he was reluctant to answer that question.

Rani who saw her husband's reaction instantly displayed a cynical smile. She knew what was on her husband's mind.

"You can't even forget your past, yet,"

"I'm sorry. But he was already calm in Ma's paradise. Don't reveal it again" asked the husband.

"He is difficult not to exist in this world. But your love feelings are still there. Especially with the presence of Dara in our family. The more you think about that woman,"

"Bara doesn't understand what Ma is. It's not appropriate that he accepts your hatred,"

"He deserves it, because he's the son of your ex-wife you love so much!"

Yes, it is in fact the late Carla whose birth mother Dara is the ex-wife of Rangga Rey's father. The age of marriage that is still the same age as corn should run aground because because Rangga's parents forced them to divorce. The reason for that was because Carla was not from the nobility like them.

In the end, Carla gave up on her love. Not because of love. But he did not want to see Rangga fall poor and slumped because of him. Rangga's parents threatened to withdraw all of his wealth and would not get inheritance rights and be excluded from the status of the Erlangga family if they still maintain their marriage with Carla.

Rangga was also forced to accept an arranged marriage with the female Empress of his parents' choice after desperately searching for the whereabouts of Carla who suddenly disappeared.

Elsewhere after a few months Carla met Dimas. The man who had helped her from deep contention. A man who is always there when he is drowning in grief. In the end they married and were blessed with a little angel, Dara.

Such is the short story about Rangga and Carla. The reason that makes Rani hate Dara so much. Although Rangga has always been a responsible husband in the family. Still, Rangga could not give his heart completely to Rani. His love for Carla was so deep.
