Revenge And Desire of The Mafia
134. The Hidden Past

Dharma took Ilena around to a traditional market near her home. Ilena was excited to do something she had never done before.

They went to an antique shop. I love something classic. His eyes were fixed on a diary made of wood fiber.

"Well, I want this!" exclaim Ilena.

"Do you like to write, Miss?" ask Dharma.

Ilena nodded.

"I have no friends to share, so I write my story in a diary. Too old, huh?"

Dharma laughed.

"No. That's a good thing. Just like I poured your heart out on a canvas."

Ilena.

"Oh yeah, how old are you?" ask Ilena.

"28 years."

Ilena's eyes are breaking. Same age as Red. For some reason Ilena suddenly remembered the man. The man who had already incised a deep wound in his heart.

"Miss! You okay?"

"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine."

"You bought her diary?"

"Hmm, yes."

Ilena took the diary to the cashier table and paid for it.

After tired of walking, Ilena asked Dharma to stop at a shop and buy a young coconut that would refresh their throat.

"I see you're not a real person here either" Ilena said as she sipped coconut ice in front of her.

"No! I am also a newcomer just like you" Dharma replied.

"How long have you been living here? And how do you know Aunt Lydia?"

Dharma chuckles.

"You're like a reporter, miss."

"Sorry.." ringis Ilena.

"Well, I won't ask you much more." Ilena again sipped young coconut ice which was very refreshing to her thirst.

"I'm sorry, Ilena. I can't tell you anything. If I were honest, you'd hate me. There's no way I'd say that I'm an old friend of White and Red's. We are both dabbling in the black world." Inner Dharma by looking at Ilena.

On the other hand, Lydia flew all the way to Rio city just to get a definite answer regarding her suspicions. Upon hearing White's name, his heart immediately trembled and recalled the past he had been hiding.

Years of trying to cover it all up, but still can't. There was a blood relationship that he could not ignore.

"Are you sure about this information?" ask Lydia.

"Yes, Madam. Andrew White is the son of the Madam who the Madam left 28 years ago."

Lydia's body was dropping to the ground. This believer cannot lie. He held his chest that felt tight.

Lydia strengthened herself. He had to meet White. He wants to meet his son.

Lydia was headed to the hospital where White worked. Despite his return to his family's company, White was unable to leave his profession as a doctor. The sincere devotion of his heart is to be a helper for others.

"Doctor, anyone want to meet you?" White's assistant told him.

"Who?" ask White.

"A woman named Lydia."

DEG

White was silent for a moment. He knows who this woman is. Since there were no further appointments with the patient, White immediately went to see Lydia.

Lydia waited with anxious hope. During this time he also never saw what the figure of Andrew who always exchanged information with him about Ilena. He had no idea that fate would play him like this.

"What did you come here for?" That cold voice made Lydia's heart pinched.

"Andrew.." - Lydia.

"You left Ilena?" ask White.

"There is a Dharma that guards it."

"Would you like to come here?" White's words were still cold.

"Listen to my explanation, son!"

White closed his eyes. When he found out about the Ilena family, he finally found his own family, his birth mother who was thought to have died. According to his grandfather his mother left him as a baby and handed him over to the White family for them to foster.

"You sold me! You and your brother are the same! You only think about yourself! Ilena and I suffered for what you did!" sarcas White.

Lydia shook her head slowly.

"No, Son. Not so. I'm..."

"Enough! Don't ever see me again! I know enough that Ilena is my sister. That's why I can feel a strong bond with him. Now you take care of Ilena! All his life he suffered. You made amends to him and you don't need me!"

White turned around and left immediately.

"Wait!" Lydia held White's hand.

"I'm sorry mom, son.." - Lydia was accompanied by a sobbing.

"I've forgiven you. So, don't come in front of me again!"

White brushed off Lydia's hand and made the woman sit on the floor. The mother's cries did not make her melt. White continued his footsteps.

A week had passed since Lidia left to take care of her business. That is how Ilena knew from the answer given by the Dharma.

During that time Ilena also lived with Dharma and had to pretend to be Dharma's wife. In this country we cannot freely live together if we do not have a valid marriage document.

And Ilena herself is also confused because it turns out that she and Dharma have a marriage certificate that indicates they are married.

I don't know what happened but Ilena did not ask Dharma further. He thinks it'll all be over when Lydia gets back.

Actually Ilena does not mind this fake marriage, but what makes her uncomfortable is the gaze of the rival girls who seem to hate her.

Dharma is quite popular in his home complex. Of course, who is not interested in him. He was kind, warm and polite. He also likes to help those around him.

"Huf! I don't know until when I can hold on with their fierce gazes. I'm used to being hated, but not for something like this!" Ilena pouted as she told Dharma.

The man smiled.

"Miss, just ignore them. Don't think!"

"You're weird too. Said we were husband and wife, but you called me miss."

Dharma shook slowly.

"That's because I respect you so much, Miss Lena."

"You mean to respect your wife?" ask Ilena not understand.

"Yes." Yeah."

For a moment their eyes clashed with each other. The warm eyes of Dharma are so soothing. Ilena was hypnotized. He hurriedly lowered his face.

"There are my friends who will come to visit" said Dharma who made Ilena look up again.

"Who?"

"Old friend. He said he wanted to visit Indonesia."

Ilena mangosteen mangosteen sign understand.

"What do I have to cook to welcome him?" ask Ilena.

"Hmm, just cook. Don't push yourself too much!" Dharma shuffled Ilena's hair slowly.

"Oh yeah, do you have a dream, miss?" dharma.

"Hmm?"

"There may be something you want to accomplish in your life. You're young and your future is long."

Ilena fell silent.

"Say me, Miss!"

"I ... I want to continue my school," said Ilena bowed.

Dharma smiled

"Then let's continue!"

"Did?!"

"Yes! You must continue your education! Lady Lydia says you can do whatever you want."

Ilena closed her mouth in disbelief.

"You're serious?"

Dharma nodded. "Yes!"

Ilena shouted in excitement. His reflexes embraced Dharma's body while jumping with pleasure.

Dharma was stunned to get a hug from Ilena. Realizing that there would be awkwardness, Ilena immediately took off her embrace.

"Ma-sorry... I'm just too happy." Ilena pulled her body away from Dharma but the man pulled her body closer.

"Dharma." i..." Ilena was shocked because now their position was so close.

"From now on, share your happiness with me, Ilena Adams."

Ilena swallowed her saliva. His heart was pounding with an irregular tempo.

One hand of Dharma rubbed Ilena's nape and brought her closer. The other hand held down Ilena's waist in order not to move away.

Dharma put her lips on Ilena's lips. The girl closed her eyes when she felt something she had long forgotten.

Dharma kissed her gently as this was their first kiss. Ilena wrapped her hands around Dharma's neck and before long their kiss turned even hotter.

As if getting a green light, Dharma's hand began to infiltrate Ilena's T-shirt. The warm swipe of Dharma's hand so lulled Ilena.

But then came the bad memories back. Ilena's breath was tight. He immediately pushed the Dharma body away.

"No!" ilena said with a soft shake.

"Sorry, I can't!"

Ilena ran away leaving the Dharma. Dharma cursed himself for acting too rashly.
