Pretend Marriage (Pretending to be Married)
Punishment

Brandon switched, Clara's sad face made her want to laugh. Lightly, he gave one answer that shocked everyone in the room.

"Because she's my wife!"

"Your wives?" Clara is suffocating with the reality. They both look very close. In fact, on stage it was very friendly. Turns out, that's the reason?

Clara glanced towards Nugraha who looked calm. In fact, the man smiled at Bia who was accidentally met with him. Clara smiled slantingly, it turns out that Nugraha already knew about the change of the cast but did not say anything to the others? That's all because he already knew that Brandon and Bia were a couple, right?

"Pak Nugraha, it looks like you need to explain something to me and Mr. Rector. You already know about the change of scene earlier, right? But, why not tell me or create a message so that the audience is not surprised when the cast has changed?!" jakkah Clara demanded an explanation. In fact, his heart was jealous, feeling disappointed because he could not reach the love he had always wanted, just kept pushing him.

"I'm sorry, Clara, I'm just following Brandon's request, no one is trying to trick you or the audience" he said in self-defense.

"About the rich, can you do anything you want? Can you play with the expectations of others as you please?" sneer Clara, her eyes were getting heated when she saw Brandon and Bia were even cool to talk compared to looking at her who was pouring her disappointment.

"Here you go, Clara, maybe Brandon does have his own meaning," said Mr. Rector, he tried to explain Clara. He also knows Clara's feelings for Brandon. But, what can be said? Now the man is married. It can no longer be a pawn of hope.

Clara's tears began to fall. The sharp gaze that was originally glued to Brandon and Bia now turned to look at the Rector. He shook his head, in disbelief, the person he used to tell stories about, now defending someone he considered the enemy of love?

"Eitherway. I think my job here is done. Representing the audience, I would like to express our disappointment to all of you who have played us," Clara said, bowing her body in honor of the Rector and walking towards the door.

"Wait!" exclaim Bia.

Clara turned her head, she saw Bia like a new nemesis. "What else is it?" clara asked, staring at Bia's face.

"It turns out, a woman who is heartbroken is indeed smart to hide her heartache, yes. Where did you hide your tears?" bia asked a little mockingly.

"Stop your bullshit!" kecam Clara's. He turned his body, just one step he walked, Bia's cry was heard again.

"Why are you in such a hurry to escape? Is it because you're afraid your rottenness will be exposed?" ledek Bia's.

"Whatchu mean? Don't beat people up without proof!" its decan.

"Then, if I have proof, can I just talk to you?" ask Bia cynically. "I know, you like my husband. But, coercive and threatening, it was the wrong way!" bia cecar.

"Who forced you? You're the one who accepted my offer to play in that drama!" clara denied, she did not want her name to get worse in Brandon's heart.

"I refused. Because I can't. But, you used your power to coerce me and threaten me. You know I don't have acting talent, you do wish I couldn't so you ask me when the show is near. I refused because there was a kiss scene I couldn't do. But, you insisted, hoping I'd kiss another guy and be seen by Brandon, right?" cerca Bia, this is the time she vented all the resentment in the heart that could only be harbored. However, that frustration can at times eat away at him. So, just say it so that your feelings get better. No need to fear your relationship with him will stretch, no need to maintain friendship with toxic people.

"You're slandering me, Bia! Is this how you thank me after I recommend you to play in the drama that will make you famous throughout campus?" Clara turned the facts around.

"Yes, you're accusing me without proof. You have defiled my good name!" kecam Clara's.

"In that case, I'll circulate the evidence I have. To let everyone know, you use your power to harm others. You sure you want to see that evidence?"

"Clara, you did make a big mistake!" said Mr. Rector.

"Sir, are you on her side?" clara's face began to pias.

"Clara, I'm not on anyone's side. I just said what I thought was right" he said, but he was scared by Brandon's gaze, which had been watching him since.

"Then, how do you manage this, Mr Rector?" Brandon began to open his voice.

"Sorry, Clara, you can rest at home for three weeks" the Rector said regretfully.

"You don't misunderstand me. I'm not defending anyone here. I'm just giving you a warning, if the wrong thing is to be punished."

"I thought you asked me to come here to apologize to me. Turns out, this is what I got?"

"I'm sorry? What has my husband done to you that he should apologize for?" ask Bia.

Clara smiled wryly, she felt disappointed. However, he immediately walked out of the room without saying anything more.

"thank you. I am not satisfied with that punishment. But it shows a little bit of your assertiveness" said Brandon, he grabbed Bia's waist and clasped his wife's fingers.

"I forgot to tell you one thing. Our relationship is, don't let it leak out. Only the people in this room know. I don't want my wife's day-to-day activities interrupted, okay?" lang Brandon while kissing the back of Bia's hand.

Huh, your treatment is like someone who really loves his wife. I almost misunderstood.

Outside, Clara instantly became the center of attention as she carried her belongings. He walked with his head down.

"Brandon, even if you're married to that woman*****, I still won't give up on you. You're mine, forever it'll stay that way. And you, Bia, I will avenge all my disappointments one day," he said, his heart beginning to hold grudges.
