The Broken Ring's
Not Love, But Poison!

Lalita was stunned for a while, before finally throwing her face the other way. It was naive of him to have thought that he could hide everything from Arfan. If where he lives at this time only the middle-aged man can know, of course the others will not escape the supervision of his father. It will not be difficult for Arfan to find facts about her pregnancy, considering that he had several times checked her content to the hospital.

A long sigh finally came out of Lalita's mouth. If this were the case, of course he could no longer deny it. He's been found out, there's no way he's making an obscure alibi. Instead of being evasive, there he will look ridiculous in front of the papa. After all, as long as the one who knew about her pregnancy was not Erick, everything could still be said to be in control.

“Since when did Papa know?” ask Lalita later.

“It doesn't matter, Lita. What matters now is that you come home with Papa so that Papa can take care of you up close,” said Arfan.

Once again Lalita sighed. From a long time ago, he always felt uncomfortable whenever Arfan showed an overprotective attitude towards him. Only, all this time he never denied or protested. That was because Riani always said that everything her father did was for his own good.

“I told you, I won't be coming home with Papa. Even though this place seems cramped, but I'm comfortable living here. I also feel calmer. Honestly, it looks like I will not be able to sleep if I go home Papa,” Lalita said later.

Arfan clucking. He is not a person who is good at persuading, especially if he is already upset.

“Don't make Papa angry, Lita. There are a lot of things for Papa to think about right now. Obey as usual!” Arfan started to exclaim in a tone that sounded louder than before.

If it had been, Lalita would have instantly shrunk when she heard Arfan's voice rise an octave so. But now, he did not feel the slightest fear. The young woman fluttered in her place, not the slightest sign that she was about to move on.

“It's not just Papa who's thinking a lot, I do too. That's why I need a place that can make me feel calm.” Lalita nodded without burden. “After all, as Papa said earlier, I am not a child anymore. I can take responsibility for myself. So Papa need not worry.”

Arfan's eyes looked sharply at the princess. Never before has Lalita been this defiant. In fact, since childhood his daughter always obeyed and did not dare to answer every word, especially in her state was not happy like now.

“What are you trying to show Papa by refuting Papa's words like now, Lita?” arfan asked his daughter.

Lalita looked back at Arfan without a word, before then a faint smile fell on her lips.

“I just want Papa to know that I'm really Papa's son,” said Lalita. I don't know where his courage came from now. Clearly, in front of his father now, he would not hold back as he had. Lalita will no longer hesitate to explain her thoughts, although it might make Arfan angry.

“What do you mean?’ Arfan frowned.

Arfan seemed to be saying something in response to Lalita's words just now, but his voice seemed stuck in the throat.

“Because of Mama, I grew up to be the sweet child that Papa had hoped for, when in fact there were many things that did not match the wishes of my heart. Because of Mama too, I learned how to be a gentle and loving figure. Papa took Mama and made Mama my mother. Papa was also the one who made me depend on Mama since I was a child until I grew up. Then now, Papa easily asked me to return to the house full of memories with Mama, while at this time I do not know what the fate of Mama out there like. Papa wants to make me feel depressed?” Lalita added with eyes that started to turn red.

“Don't you know now that she's not your real mother? Then why did you defy Papa like this just for the sake of that foreign woman?” Arfan asked again. “As long as you know, he does everything for you also not free. Papa paid for it with all the luxuries he enjoyed during his stay at our house as your mama.”

Lalita laughs. Simultaneously, a drop of tears fell down his cheek, but he quickly caressed.

“This is why I have not wanted to go back to Papa's side even though my divorce will be over. Papa still considers himself and Papa's actions right, without thinking about the feelings of others. In fact, my feelings right now don't really care about me. All Papa knows is how to pressure people around Papa so that everything goes according to what Papa wants.” Lalita muttered in a sad tone.

“Enough, Lita. Papa knows that now you are still surprised because of all the facts that exist. But because you already know, then inevitably you must accept it. In fact, your selfish father is your only parent and family, while Riani is just a lowly woman who is crazy about possessions and can do anything for the sake of living a luxurious life, including caring for other people's children with affection and ignoring their own biological children,” said Arfan with anger.

Once again Lalita looked at her Papa. His heart really felt sad. Now he only realized that his father was not only haughty, but also heartless.

“Indeed how much money did Papa get taken away by the woman that Papa called the lowly and crazy treasure? How much did he steal Papa's treasure during this time How many assets did he secretly accumulate to enrich himself?” asked Lalita then in a sharp tone.

“Don't Papa know by whose name sincerity, Pa? Even if Papa had nothing, Mama would still treat me the same, because she accepted Papa's request to raise me not because of the wealth and luxury that Papa offered, but because for Mama, she said, Papa is such a noble helper angel. Even from the way Mama looked at Papa, it was already seen how great Mama felt for Papa.”

Arfan frowned. The middle-aged man looked clueless as to what Lalita said.

“I asked Papa to find out where Mama is instead of forcing Papa to bring Mama back. But at least, Papa has compassion on the person who has devoted himself to Papa all this time. As long as you know, the only reason why you are willing to do anything for Papa is because you love Papa. Just like I've been receiving Erick's treatment all this time out of love. It's just, I'm more fortunate to be able to control that feeling after knowing that my feelings clap one hand, so that I don't become a prolonged fool.”

Arfan still didn't say anything. His face looked stiff and unreadable. Indeed, listening to Lalita's presentation earlier, he was like hearing a news if at this time the sun had risen from the western horizon.

“If Papa can change Papa's thinking, especially about Mama. I'll consider going back to Papa's house. But if Papa chooses to keep thinking as petty as he is now, I'm really sorry that I will never return to Papa's side at any time. I don't want my son to receive the same kind of perverse affection that Papa gave me, because that's not really affection, Pa, but poison!”
