Reaching Hope
Chapter 84 Searching for Truth

"Yes, I didn't hear you wrong. It just so happened that I was there too when the woman told me she had just left here" Clara said.

"Sorry, instead of me defending my son, it's just that all this time I knew he had never been in contact with a woman other than Cindy. He also rarely goes out of the house, he will go home to the office," explained Bima's mother.

"I don't know either Mom, which obviously my sister was hit by hearing this news. He felt guilty about the woman, he wanted the mother's son to be responsible to Gina, the pregnant woman," Clara said.

"We just breathed a sigh of relief when Cindy wanted to receive Bima back, now it's like this. I'll ask her directly when I get home from work. Hopefully this is not true" replied Bima's mother.

"All right, ma'am, thank you. Assalamualaikum," he said.

"Waalaikum greetings," replied Bima's mother.

"He must not believe his son did that?" ask Cindy.

Clara nodded in agreement, honestly for some reason she also felt disbelief with the woman named Gina.

"I've guessed, he'll definitely try to protect her" Cindy said.

"Sister, let's talk later. Let's get back to work first" Clara asked.

They continue the work that was delayed, they try to stay focused despite being a lot of thoughts.

Bima had just come home from work when her parents were waiting for her on the porch.

"Tumben in the afternoon sitting on the terrace, ma'am?" ask Bima.

"We are waiting for you" replied his mother.

"Alright, now that I'm here, I just say it," said Bima.

His father and mother looked at him. He was confused by the attitude of his parents because he did not feel wrong at all.

"Is there a serious problem, Dad, Mom?" tanyakanya.

"Say, Son. Have you ever been close to another woman besides Cindy, all this time?" ask father.

Bima's forehead frowned, he wondered why his father asked so when he thought his parents already knew if only Cindy was his lover all this time.

"No, Dad. Just Cindy my lover, I love her so much" she replied firmly.

Both of his parents were seen breathing deeply.

"Have you ever had sex other than Cindy?" ask mother.

"What kind of question is this Mom, you know if I do it with just Cindy" replied Bima annoyed.

"So Clara called, she said there was a woman who met Cindy. She said that she was pregnant with your child but you were trying to escape responsibility" her mother told her.

"What's? Of course that's not true, the woman's making it up. I won't go that far, I did it with Cindy because I want to marry her soon" Bima said.

"Father and Mother believe, we saw for ourselves how badly you fell when you lost Cindy. You're not going to play around with another woman" his father replied.

"But now the problem is how to convince Cindy and her family, they must be easy to believe considering what you did to Cindy" he added.

"I'm going to meet Cindy, Dad," Bima replied.

"It's better that way, he'll want an explanation from you. It's better to run out of magrib alone, responsibility soon Adzan," his father suggested.

"Yes, Dad" he answered.

After the magrib prayer Bima rushed to Cindy's place. He drove his motorbike quickly because he wanted to immediately explain to his lover.

"Sit down, I call Cindy first" said Clara.

After about five minutes of waiting Cindy finally met him. His face looked expressionless.

"Cindy I came to explain" said Bima.

"You explained what's more, that woman told me everything about your relationship. You should be responsible not to leave her, she is pregnant with your child," Cindy replied can not hold back her emotions anymore.

"Darling, why don't you trust me. There has never been another woman in my life other than you. I don't know the woman, she's lying" Bima explained.

"How can you say you don't know when you don't know what the woman who met me looks like" Cindy cried.

"I can be sure if I don't know him, because all this time I've never had a relationship other than you" said Bima.

"Right now I don't need an explanation from you, I just want proof. Prove that if you don't have a relationship, prove that the child she's carrying isn't your seed, if you can then I'll believe it" Cindy breaks up.

"Okay, I'll prove it. I will see you soon by bringing the woman so she can tell the truth" Bima said and left immediately.

Bima did not know what the girl's face was like, how could she look for it. He had to request CCTV footage from Cindy's office, but they couldn't just give it to a stranger like him. He would ask Juan for help, however this office was Andre's so Juan could have been easier to ask for it.

Bima immediately dialed the number Clara got from her mother. After Clara gave Juan the number, Bima immediately contacted him. He immediately told his problem to Juan, not in thought that Juan who he thought was less like it was willing to help him without asking much.

They agreed to meet in front of Andre's office. A few moments later Juan came and approached him.

"I'm sorry, it was a long time ago, a little jammed earlier," said Juan.

"No problem, thank you for helping me," Bima replied sincerely.

"No problem, we're going to be in-laws so we should help each other" Juan said.

They immediately went in to the security guard. The security guard had refused because CCTV was the privacy of the company but after Juan told the chronological story and seduced it a little then the security guard was willing to show it.

"Crazy, very good acting pregnant woman," said Juan.

"So you believe me if I don't?" ask Bima.

"If I can't believe how I'm willing to help you" Juan replied with a smile.

"Thank you, but I'm confused where to start looking. I don't know who wants me and Cindy to fight and even get married" said Bima.

"Let's calm down later I help you find out, now we better go home and rest first. It is also impossible for a pregnant woman to be out at night like this" Juan replied.

After that, they separated and went back to their homes. Juan immediately contacted Bagas to ask for help about Bima's problem.

"Hello, Gas. I'm asking you to help find out the woman whose tape I sent to your email, the pregnant woman who spoke to Cindy and Clara," Juan said.

"Yes, let me see first" Bagas replied as he opened his email.

"This crying woman, huh? It seems I am no stranger" said Bagas.

"Has it right? do you know him?" ask Juan.

"Wait for Mas, I'm still trying to remember it" Bagas replied.

A little long Juan waited until he was bored.

"Have you remembered, I want to fall down" said Juan.

"Wait for me, I remember. I saw it once when there was an event at Mas Andre's house. If it's not wrong they still have a sibling relationship" explained Bagas.

"Correct?" ask Juan.
