The Tippingback of Rania's World
Episode 77 - Confession

"Mama? First time calling mom? What do you mean Rania?"

Rania's blood flowed profusely hearing that remark.

"The Ark is home?" rania was nervous.

"Yes. Who did you call just now with mom's HP?" ask Arka.

"Emmm... That's... Lady Chloe. I used to see him on TV and it was my habit to call my mom" Rania said.

"Hm... That's just not possible. You're not a Chloe fan from long ago. It is precisely Livy who idolizes it very much," Arka denied.

"Yes I also recently became a fan of her because I often hear Livy's stories. At that time we also saw it directly in the mall," said Rania reassured.

"That's Rania, don't lie anymore. Tell me the truth. Brother won't be angry" Pinta Arka.

He could see that his sister was not telling the truth.

"Well..." Rania took a deep breath. Not that he doesn't want a story, but Arka will believe it?

"Come, I'll listen. Whatever you're going to tell me that," insisted Arka.

"But don't be considered weird, yeah. Don't tell me the same father and mother, too" Rania's pinta.

"Wow, you robbed a bank, huh, Dek?"

Plaque! A pillow slap landed on Arka's shoulder.

"Haddooh's... That hurts, Deck."

"Yes, that's why. When I was accused of robbing a bank?" rania said with a laugh.

"Yes yes... I'm horrified, here." Arka sat cross-legged in front of Rania.

"But promise yes don't tell mom's dad" Rania said again.

"Yes." Yeah."

Rania then recounted everything she experienced from a few months ago to now. Several times Bang Arka's facial expression turned confused or incredulous in some parts of the story.

"Where? Doesn't make sense, does it?" Rania.

"Hmm, that doesn't make sense. But this is much better than you keep lying, right," Bang Arka said flatly.

Rania looked at her brother confusedly, "Abang don't I think I'm weird?"

"Well, you're the one who asked, don't be considered weird."

Rania's forehead was getting wrinkled, "Abang not so bad, because it turns out I'm not Rania Putri?"

"It's still not certain, is it?" said Arka.

"But based on what I remember all this time, plus stories from Wilda and Grandma Esther, that's probably true, right?" rania.

"Well, if that's true, you must be very sad, because you will lose two dear brothers."

"Hmm??"

"You are Rania Putri or not, still a brother. Likewise with father and mother, must still consider you his daughter" said Arka.

"There's still a lot to learn from your story, Rania. But there is one thing that you understand, namely that mom and Chloe were friends, even she gave friendship bracelets that you now consider as evidence," explained Arka again.

"Yes. That's right" said Rania.

"Well, some time ago our neighbor said, there was someone who came looking for a mother. He was wearing expensive cars and clothes. But they were scared, thinking it was a debt collector" Arka said.

"But now you're thinking, maybe it's Chloe who came looking for you."

"Mama's here?" rania murmured in the heart.

"Have not thought too much. Later, you help find a way out" said Arka while stroking Rania's hair. He also left the room.

"Surprisingly, Bang Arka was not at all surprised to hear my story. Does he really know?" thought Rania.

"What's wrong? Tumben you invited me to meet?" ask Mira.

This afternoon, Rania invites Mira to meet in the city park.

"I've managed to contact Audrey" Rania said without further ado.

"Well, seriously? Maddened.. So great of you. Though people like him would be very difficult to contact. Who did you contact him as? Princess Rania or Rania Austeen?" said Mira.

"Well... Mira who is the son of an official just talking about it, especially I am just a servant child," said Rania with a laugh.

"If he reaches you, emm... I mean Princess Rania, which means you have a close relationship" Mira said.

"That's what I want me to say to you. My father had worked in his family's home and we were close as kids, until I was accused of plotting to kill him" Rania said.

"Seriously? Kill?" Mira frowned.

Rania told it.

"Does that make sense? Just because of a box of milk? You can't intentionally."

"Well... From my mother's story it was like that. I don't remember it myself" said Rania.

"Oh yes, I'd like to ask. Why did we have a squad with you?" ask Rania to Mira.

"You must have thought that Audrey might purposely team up with you for revenge, right?" guess Mira.

"That's it." Rania held her index finger in front of her face.

"Sadly, that's wrong. At first Audrey was in the Goose squad with other friends" Mira said.

"Eh, time?" Rania does not believe.

"About two months before camp, two of them got injured for practicing volleyball for our school club." Mira continues her story.

"You mean Diana and Srianti?"rania sela.

In the first grade he had indeed heard the news that two of their volleyball team were injured during training.

"Yes, they. They were both absent from all school club activities including scouts, and their squads were short of members. Our coach then spread them to several other squads." Mira ended the story.

"Ah... So anyway. But, who was the one that night to take out the tent first?" Rania.

The teenage girl was still very sure that Audrey wanted to kill her.

"Yes, that night he was the one who asked you out. But, it wasn't you who he first invited, but me," said Mira.

"You?" Rania refused to believe it.

Mira nodded, "But I rejected her for having to stay in the tent guarding the other squad members."

Rania let out her breath violently. He was a little upset Mira who seemed to defend Audrey.

"Sorry Rania, when I first heard your story, I also felt that he had intended to be evil from the beginning. But after I remembered it again, I thought there was no reason to harm you," Mira later said.

"Why isn't there?"

"Because since joining our squad, he has always been good to all members, including you. And you who at that time must still remember the events ten years ago, right? As long as we are a squad there is absolutely no problem between you" Mira said.

"Is she?" rania Gumam.

"I understand that you suspect him. It's true, they were instrumental in your case back then. But on the other hand, I don't think it's something Audrey planned, just like you did" Mira said.

"Well... Maybe you were better then. It is precisely possible that his parents are to blame for the incident" continued Mira again.

Rania fell silent. Of course his heart strongly disagrees with the statement from Mira.
