Take Me To Your Heart
Chapter 75 - Amanda is arrested

Later that night, Renatta seemed pensive alone in the living room of Regan's apartment. It looked like he was thinking something in his head. Since returning home from Regan's family home, Regan has never called her again. Renatta immediately thought badly. But he didn't want his bad thoughts to come true. He has fought so far, he doesn't want to get hurt again. Rather than being thrown away and left behind. He prefers to go by himself.

As he was about to send a message to Regan, he got a call from the man instead.

Renatta deliberately didn't talk before Regan spoke first.

"Nat, don't get me wrong about my attitude today. Please."

"Why should? You never trusted me, did you?"

"No, not like that. In every action there must be a reason Nat. I have a reason for that."

"OK fine. I'll try to understand that."

Regan breathed a sigh of relief and ended the call because she was in the hospital.

Renatta had little hope of staying and not leaving.

The next day, Oma Lina had already started to want to eat little by little. He only regained consciousness at night and found his aching stomach and pale face as he reflected.

Regan also told her why Oma was in the hospital. Oma Lina who heard it was so shocked. He really didn't expect Amanda to do such a cruel thing to him. At first, she was in disbelief because Amanda was a kind and gentle child. Perhaps Oma Lina would have believed that Renatta was the one who did this. But apparently, the evidence says that Amanda's fingerprints were on the bottle that was brought by the detective earlier and the evidence has also been obtained by Regan before he came to the hospital again.

"Oma really didn't expect Regan. Is the motive to harm Oma like this? What is Oma wrong? Oma even loved him like Oma's own granddaughter."

Oma Lina spilled out her heart while crying. He felt stupid because he trusted and loved Amanda who even hurt him.

"It's not just Oma who feels stupid! I even feel like I'm more stupid because Amanda's been fooled for years. I always regretted to Renatta for wrongly accusing him for so many years. If Amanda hadn't been hiding the truth, I probably wouldn't have been that hateful to Renatta. Fortunately, God opened my eyes, and made me realize that Renatta was not the bad woman I thought she was. It is precisely Amanda who is evil by hiding behind her meek attitude. I hope Oma comes to her senses and never comes into contact with Amanda. I also hope that Oma can accept Renatta sincerely."

Oma Lina nodded. He apologizes to Regan for trying to match Regan with Amanda.

"It's Oma, after all even if forced by Oma even though I don't want to. Most importantly now, Oma had to recover soon. After this I will come to the Wijaya residence to bring the police to arrest Amanda with the evidence. I also got information from Gio that Amanda was involved in Renatta's defamation case. Maybe he'll go to jail with a tougher sentence."

"Yes, just punish him. Oma doesn't want him to get away with it."

Oma Lina won't take it if Amanda doesn't get her reward. He will support all the decisions Regan will take.

"Where is Renatta, by the way? Didn't she come with you?" asked the astonished Oma Regan came alone.

"I deliberately didn't contact Natta, Oma. Now I'm going to the apartment to pick up Renatta and then go with the police. Pray all this well, Oma."

"Surely, Oma will pray for you. I'm sorry, because Oma realized too late that Renatta was a good woman."

Regan clasped Oma Lina's hand and smiled.

"Then treat her like Oma's own granddaughter."

Oma Lina nodded.

Regan leaves Oma Lina's room and goes to her apartment.

The sound of the door opening, made Renatta shocked. He immediately moved his eyes towards the door. Apparently it was Regan who came in the same clothes as yesterday.

"Where is Oma?" renatta asked as Regan was about to enter his room.

"Well, it's even better than yesterday" he answered and went into the room.

Renatta just smiled faintly. He felt neglected. But he didn't mind it, thinking maybe Regan was exhausted after keeping Oma Lina all night.

A few dozen minutes later, Regan came out of her room dressed differently. He invites Renatta to come along but does not explain where they are going. However, Renatta did not refuse, because he thought he would be taken to the hospital to visit Oma Lina.

But he was surprised, when Regan brought him to Wijaya's residence. In his head there were a lot of questions.

"Aunty heard from Amanda, Oma you went to the hospital? How's he doing?" ask the Aunt Goddess who pretends to be considerate.

"It's improved Auntie."

"Thank God, I'm so sorry, Auntie hasn't been able to look. At home again riweh thing."

"No papa kok Aunt, if you are busy again mah do not be imposed. Where's Amanda Aunty, by the way?" ask Regan.

"Oh, there's a. Aunty told me not to shower later."

Regan nodded.

Shortly thereafter, Amanda also appeared with her fashionable appearance despite being in the house. He sat in the living room.

Regan starts talking about something found in the kitchen bin of her family's house.

"Today I brought a detective home to look for something that might help me figure out what caused Oma to enter the hospital. And it turns out that the detectives found a small bottle of liquid that was inside. It is still being examined by the police. Most likely sooner or later will be found fingerprints of people who have harmed Oma. I just want that person to get the appropriate punishment. I don't know which one of Amanda and Renatta did that vile thing."

Although Regan looks impartial, but Amanda feels that Regan is accusing her blatantly because Regan's eyes on her seem to dislike her.

"You mean to say it all in front of me for what? You want to accuse me of poisoning Oma?" said Amanda who was upset because she was looked at suspiciously by Regan.

Regan was smiling. He never even said that his Oma had entered the hospital due to poisoning. It could be Omanya vomiting and fainting due to stomach acid or other pain. But Amanda easily said that.

"Do you know where my Oma got poisoned?" ask Regan in full search.

Amanda was silent. He did not realize he was speaking wrongly. Aunt Goddess was a part of the panic as well and even defended her son.

"Maybe, Amanda was just second-guessing Regan."

"Well guess?" ask Regan who repeated the last words of Aunt Goddess.

"If you confess, maybe the punishment will be lighter," said Regan easily.

Renatta was there just silent. He so enjoyed the frightened face of Aunt Goddess and Amanda.

"Regan! Why are you a gini now? You don't trust me anymore? We've known you for so long!"

"Yes, I've known Amanda for so long. Who always pretended to be kind and meek in front of me and my family. You think I'll keep being stupid?"

Shortly after, the police arrive and arrest Amanda. Aunt Goddess is angry and emotional and screaming.

"What's this about? Why was my son arrested like this? He has nothing wrong!"

"Please plead later when you arrive at the police station. But your son was found guilty and allegedly committed the will to poison sister Lina."

"That's slander! I never did all that! Off!"

But Amanda's power is not comparable to that of the male police. Amanda was taken out of her house.

Aunt Goddess cried and kept shouting that Amanda was innocent, she even blamed Renatta and Renatta who had trapped Amanda.

Just now Renatta wants to reply to the words of Aunt Goddess, but Regan has attacked first.

"It's wrong, still blame others. Aunty, at least Aunty should be a good mother. If the wrong child who ngaku wrong do not even defend. Or maybe the two of you are in cahoots?"

Aunt Dewi looked at Regan with a hostile look. When he wanted to slap Regan. Wijaya arrives and is astonished by the police car that just came out of the gate of his house.

"What's this?" tanyakanya.

"Ask yourselves to Om's wife. Oh, yeah, I threw Amanda in jail. Hopefully Wijaya company shares do not go down, Om. Excuse me."
