Ryanthi: Sweet Cake, Bitter Reality
● EIGHTEEN : Betrayal

Surya parked his Jeep Rubicon in the parking area of a mall. He then took Ryanthi in. They walk in tandem. From a much different appearance, they look like maids and employers.

Surya takes Ryanthi around. Inside the mall, there are many shops and boutiques with well-known brands. After walking for a while, the middle-aged man took Ryanthi to a boutique. He had Ryanthi choose the clothes she liked.

Ryanthi, who wanted to change her appearance, did not reject that. He picked some dresses. Ryanthi dropped the choice on a midi dress. He wouldn't dare to look like Vera.

"Do you like the clothes?" ask Surya on the dress that Ryanthi has chosen.

Ryanthi smiled, in response to the father. He immediately tried all the dresses he had chosen earlier.

After buying some clothes, Surya then invited Ryanthi to buy shoes. In essence, that day he really spoiled the princess only wayangnya.

"Are you happy with our show today?" surya asked as he sipped the cup of coffee he had ordered. They are now in the food court, because it was time for lunch.

Ryanthi nodded while tasting the glass of avocado juice that was before her. "thank you. Is this not too much?"

"Nothing is too much for you. That's something you should have given me long ago" he said, tasting the new satay maranggi served by the waitress.

Ryanthi follows what Surya did. While eating, he looked around the place. The more afternoon, the atmosphere there is getting crowded. However, one thing Ryanthi is concerned about is the figure of a man who looks similar to Arshan.

Ryanthi continued to watch the man standing while playing the phone. It seemed that the man was waiting for someone. Not long after, he moved out of his place. The man walked away with the girl who was only visible from behind.

After taking a walk and eating, Surya takes Ryanthi home. As usual, the girl did not talk much. In fact, there was still something stuck in his heart.

"Well," call Ryanthi slowly.

"Yes," Surya replied as he continued to focus on driving.

"What was the DNA test?" ryanthi asked, coinciding with the flashing red light.

Surya smile. He understands that Ryanthi is worried. He held the girl's fingers. "Don't worry. You are my biological daughter," Surya replied, making Ryanthi smile with relief.

......................

Two days have passed. Ryanthi suddenly recalled the figure of the man she saw yesterday in the mall. For some reason, his mind kept on going to Arshan.

Intention to meet the man. Ryanthi also wants Arshan to see his new appearance. The girl then said goodbye to Mbok Mur, because Surya was going out.

As usual, Ryanthi takes the city bus when going anywhere. In fact, in his house there is a car and a driver who is ready to deliver.

That afternoon, the weather was quite cloudy. Fortunately, Ryanthi arrived at his destination before it rained. He had entered the residential area where Arshan lived.

After walking for a while, Ryanthi finally arrived at a fairly large house with a black trellis. Ryanthi was stunned for a moment, as she looked at the car parked in front of the house. Ryanthi felt familiar with the sedan. However, he did not bother too much. Ryanthi rushed into the courtyard, then knocked on the door.

However, after a few times Ryanthi knocked on it, there was no response at all. The girl was even getting angry. Coinciding as he was about to turn around, the door opened showing Arshan in plain T-Shirt shorts.

"Hi" said Ryanthi warmly. "Are you busy?" tanyakanya. Ryanthi makes small talk, hoping that Arshan will comment on his new appearance.

But the man seemed to not care. Arshan looked very excited. "A-I .. em ... actually ...." The man was confused as to what to say.

Ryanthi tries to digest the lover's strange demeanor. "What's wrong? I hope you're not bothered by my arrival."

This time, Arshan tried to look calmer. "Not so, but ...." Again, Arshan was unable to continue his words, leaving Ryanthi silent for a moment.

Suddenly, Ryanthi was reminded of a sedan parked in front of the house. "Where is the girl?" he asked with a very serious face.

Arshan was surprised to hear Ryanthi's question. He didn't answer. Arshan looked increasingly agitated, as Ryanthi barged in and walked to and fro like he was looking for something. More precisely, someone.

"Thi ... What are you looking for?" Arshan tries to block Ryanthi's movements.

However, Ryanthi was all his might to remove Arshan from his presence. Ryanthi keeps looking into every part of the house, but she finds no one. The girl stood up and her eyes looked around. His mind went to the second floor. Ryanthi rushed towards the stairs. However, Arshan immediately confronted him.

"Surge!" ryanthi. However, Arshan was unmoved. He kept blocking the girl's steps. "I said step aside!" ryanthi jolted again while pushing Arshan, almost falling down.

Apart from Arshan's barrier, Ryanthi immediately headed to the second floor. He opened every room door there. However, Ryanthi did not find anyone. He's almost desperate. However, he is convinced that Arshan is hiding someone there.

Finally, Ryanthi's attention was on the very end of the room. With a sure step, he walked there. Ryanthi stood at the door of the room and opened it.

He saw Vera who was just wearing her clothes.

Vera was so shocked when she saw Ryanthi standing there while watching her. Meanwhile, Arshan could do nothing but surrender. He stood up while leaning against the wall. Arshan seemed to have guessed what would happen to his relationship with Ryanthi.

"Ryanthi," Vera said with a smile. That smile felt like a razor that cut Ryanthi's heart. It was the smile Vera had won over her.

Ryanthi was still standing while staring at the girl who was now in front of him. Vera looks very proud, when she sees the disappointment depicted on Ryanthi's face.

"You here?" asked Vera who was instantly answered with a hard slap on her cheek.

"Ryanthi you!" point Vera.

Again, Ryanthi rewards Vera with an equally hard slap, thus making Vera again hold her cheek. Vera attempts to avenge Ryanthi's slap.

However, Arshan quickly prevented it.

"Surge Arshan!" sentak Vera's.

"Keep out of my sight! I don't need protection from a traitor like you!" Ryanthi spoke equally loudly.

He pushed Arshan from before him until the young man almost fell down.

"How dare you slap me! I'll make sure you get a more painful reply than that!" threaten Vera's.

"The slap is not much! I'll make sure you feel something more painful than my slap!" ryanthi won't lose.

"You think I'm scared?" balas Vera started to crackle. He attacks Ryanthi by pulling the girl's hair staggered.

However, Ryanthi immediately balanced her body. He retaliates against Vera by doing the same. Moreover, Vera's hair was longer, so she was more free to pull the girl's hair.

Meanwhile, Vera keeps trying to remove Ryanthi's hand from her hair. However, Ryanthi pulled Vera's hair very tightly. Vera. His hands are not silent. He pulls Ryanthi's shirt to shreds on the front. Fortunately, the tear was not too big, exposing only a small part of Ryanthi's chest.

Seeing her new clothes torn, Ryanthi let her guard down. At that moment, Vera attacked. He claws Ryanthi's face with his sharp nails.

Ryanthi grimacing. He retracted Vera's hair and dropped it to fall on the floor. Ryanthi immediately overstretched the girl's body, while raising her fists until Vera's nose and lips bled.

"Arshan, why are you quiet?" Vera pleaded for the young man's help.

Meanwhile, Arshan just kept silent to see the fight of two girls in front of him. He was so, surprised to see Ryanthi could be that brave. In Arshan's eyes, Ryanthi was a quiet and gentle girl.

"Athi, stop! Ryanthi!" Arshan shouted, but the girl continued to attack Vera until she had many wounds on her face.

Thankfully, Arshan's parents arrived. They were shocked to hear a noise from upstairs. Both of Arshan's parents were in disbelief, when they saw two girls struggling on the floor.

Meanwhile, it was getting late afternoon. Ryanthi sat on the sofa. He looked at Arshan with anger. Meanwhile, Vera has gone home, and may be complaining to Maya.

A hard slap landed on Arshan's cheek.

His mother looked very angry and disappointed, for the behavior of her youngest child. "Patience, Mom." Arshan's father tried to calm his wife. However, Arshan's mother is already angry, after hearing a confession from her son about the cause of Ryanthi and Vera's fight.

"Based on a brat!" snapped Arshan's mom.

Meanwhile, Arshan just kept his head down, realizing the mistake he had made.

Meanwhile, Ryanthi was silent. He had never lost control like that. During this time, Ryanthi can always control himself, in any bad situation. However, that day was truly extraordinary. His emotions and energy were drained.

The dark finally came to cover the earth. Rain spots began to fall with Ryanthi's foot steps that shuddered down the sidewalk. The longer it takes, the rain falls more and more. However, Ryanthi seemed to not care, even though her new clothes were soaked. He walked alone, among the street lights.

Vehicles that pass by also speed with high efficiency. Maybe because the night road was quite quiet, so the drivers could dig their vehicles faster.

Ryanthi stood by the side of the road. He was not aware of where he was at that time, because from earlier it was just walking aimlessly. Ryanthi looked around. There was no one he could ask, so Ryanthi decided to cross. He did not know, from the other direction appeared a car that was speeding towards him. Ryanthi screeched in shock, having almost been hit.

Fortunately, the driver braked the vehicle. Moreover, because Ryanthi fell unconscious right in front of the car that had stopped earlier.
