Reaching Hope
Chapter 13 Not Getting Rest

"We're getting married, you don't have to work anymore! We'll still send money to your parents in the village, Clara. Or if you need to bring all your families to live with us" Juan said solemnly.

"Are you sure it'll be that easy? What about your parents? Are you sure they'll accept me and my family?" ask Clara full of worry.

"We will fight together to melt their hearts, if that happens Clara," replied Juan trying to convince Clara.

"Are you healthy? How about we have lunch outside?" juan asked, who had no time for breakfast.

"I'm healthy, but Jhony and Cindy's sister will be here?" ask Clara.

"We stopped by the factory to say goodbye, and I'll take care of your resignation" Juan said.

"You serious, Juan?" clara asked in disbelief.

"I'll find you another job, if you still want to work. But if we're married, I hope you're at home, looking after our children yes" Juan said

"But please don't quarrel with Mr. David, I don't want you to go to any lengths" Clara pleaded with Juan.

"For as long as it's natural I'll forgive, but if it's too much I can't promise you, dear," Juan replied as he hugged Clara out.

Arriving at the factory, Juan tells Clara to say goodbye to Cindy. He himself took care of Clara's resignation to Personnel, to David of course.

"Good day, Mr. David," said Juan greeting David with dignity.

"Oh Mr. Juan, please sit down. Can I help you, sir?" ask David politely.

"I want to take care of the resignation of an employee by the name of Ririn Dwi Susanti, from today he is out" Juan said calmly.

"Why come out, doesn't he really need this job?" ask David who is not happy.

"She will soon be Juan Hartono's mistress" Juan said.

"What's? So he prefers you?" david asked, not believing.

"Of course, because he loves me!" firmly Juan. There was no respect between them anymore.

"Sir Hartono can't possibly bless your relationship" David said with a sly smile

"That's none of your business, you just make Clara's resignation letter immediately!" juan ordered, looking away.

"Remember Juan, lest you hurt him, or I snatch him from you, at all costs" said David, solemnly.

"heh. if you love him, you won't press him like that, you're just ambitious to get him" Juan chuckled at David's words.

"Have it, you'd better take good care of him, because I can snatch it at any time," said David smiling cynically.

"Don't think you're close to papa, and then you can do anything. I would risk my life to protect Clara, though" Juan added.

"That's because you're so stiff, that with your own parents you can't get close! Go, I'll make the letter!" david commands while opening the door of his room.

David is the nephew of Juan's father, Danuarta Hartono. Arya Sebastian is the father of David who is also the younger brother of Juan's father. Unlike Juan's father, who was a successful businessman, David's family was just an ordinary employee who received a salary from a company that was built by Juan's father.

"He thinks he can threaten me, I can stop him right now if I don't remember Aryan's kindness" Juan said.

"Are you alone with your sister, baby?" juan asked as he approached Clara.

"Have, what about my resignation, you didn't fight with Mr. David did you?" ask Clara curiously.

"Come on," replied Clara.

Now they had paid no heed to it when all the pairs of eyes saw their affection. There is no need for secrets to be covered up. Everyone must have known if they were lovers by seeing their closeness. Some are happy, but many are envious. Many people talk about their relationship.

"Clara our road won't be easy, but I promise you, I'll never give up" Juan said in the car.

"I believe you, Juan," said Clara, smiling at her lover.

"Hello, what's wrong, Om?" david asked the man on the other end of the phone.

"There's a report that Juan was in a relationship with a factory employee, is that true, David?" ask the man.

I don't know who reported it to Juan's father. So quickly the news spread. David had to be honest with his uncle.

"You should have prevented it! How could the son of a Danuarta Hartono be with a factory worker!" he shouted, clearly insulting Clara.

"Sorry, I can't do much. Om know for yourself how Juan if you have a desire," replied David trying to give an excuse.

"You can't count on that" Juan's father said, hanging up.

David sighed, he was confused to act. She knew Clara must have suffered with Juan, because her om would never have blessed their relationship. But he also could not have taken the girl away, because Clara's heart he had given to Juan.

"Should I love you and help your relationship to be blessed" David said in his heart. He sighed, then sat down in his chair. He was still confused to determine his attitude.

"Why is Juan always luckier than I am" said his inner voice again.

***

"Hello, I want you to keep an eye on wherever Juan and his girlfriend go" said Mr. Danuarta, speaking to someone on the phone.

"Okay sir, all I will report," replied the paid man.

"Ok," said Mr. Danuarta, then hung up.

[Who was the girl who approached Juan? Tell me!]

Sms sent to David's contact. It didn't take long, David replied.

[His name is Clara, from the village, she's a production worker, Om.] David replied.

[Oh village girl, definitely just chasing Juan's money!] reply to Juan's father.

[She does need money, but she doesn't seem to be matre, she's a fine tray girl, Om.] David defends Clara.

[We'll see, let the money do the talking.]

David did not reply again, he felt free to argue with his Om. Because even though it is true it must still lose if dealing with Danuarta Hartono. Trying to find a solution to keep Clara from getting hurt, she realizes Juan's father will do anything to keep them apart.

"Did I just kidnap Clara, then take her away from here, maybe as time went on she could love me" David said.

Suddenly, a crazy idea came up. But soon he tepis, because even to the end of the world Juan will still look for Clara. Juan was just this time in love, so it was impossible to just give up. But David will still find a gap to get Clara's love.
