Traveling to the Unseen Realm
112. More Tied

Kala and his entourage stood up when they saw Kyai Ranggana and the family coming out from the inside of the house. Then they shake hands without a smile. Which makes Ranvier a little uncomfortable.

When Kala and Ranvier faced each other, the man slightly kept his distance to just observe Ranvier up close. Kala is convinced that Ranvier is a stranger because only this time he saw Ranvier. There was an uneasy feeling in Kala's heart when she saw Ranvier in the middle of Kyai Ranggana's family.

The representative of Kala's entourage also opened the conversation with a cornering question.

" So how Kyai Ranggana. Is Ananda Arcana willing to accept Ananda Kala's proposal ?. Well even though We know that Arcana has made a mistake, but We are still honored to accept his presence.", said the old man who later became known as Sada haughtily.

Kyai Ranggana seemed to smile thinly while the wife looked riled up. After clearing his throat, Kyai Ranggana answered the question firmly.

" As we know together. Arcana is just a victim who was forced to take responsibility for a mistake he did not commit. So it feels like the question is more worthy of being addressed to the groom-to-be. Will Ananda Kala accept my Son who has done many wrongs. Not just one but two." said Kyai Ranggana.

" Two...?" ask Sada not to believe it.

" right. In addition to being accused of being guilty of causing his future wife to die, Kala also knew that a few days ago Arcana went to see another man while in a pingitan period.

Kyai Ranggana speech makes the atmosphere in the room become rowdy. While Kala seems to clench both hands to reduce his anger.

At that time, Kala was humiliated. Eventually everyone in his entourage knew that Kala had forced Arcana to marry him. Though they also know if Kala's future wife has just died. It feels strange to hold a wedding with another woman when the future wife has just been buried. And even more embarrassing is the bride-to-be went to see another man while still in the pingitan period.

" What do you mean Kyai Ranggana...!" sada said furiously.

" Why does Kyai Sada, you don't accept my words ?. What I'm saying is reality. Kala forced Arcana to marry him because he reasoned that the wedding preparations that would have been held with his future wife had been completed. Kala said her family would be embarrassed if the event was cancelled. Under the pretext of Arcana who had killed his future wife, Kala determined the day to marry my Son without considering my readiness as Arcana's parents. Arcana is my only daughter. So it's natural that we want to hold a fancy party. But because Kala only gave a short time, then by forced to hold a perfunctory party.

" Is that true Kala...?!" kyai Sada asked while looking at Kala.

Kala was only silent because he felt there was no need to explain anything. After all the wedding preparations have been completed even though the woman who will be his bride is completely different from the candidate he introduced first.

" One more. Arcana told me that it was the future wife Kala who ran to her dagger. Even Kala's future wife had asked him for help. From this little story, can't you conclude anything...?" ask Kyai Ranggana.

Silence filled the room. Everyone stared at each other as if they wanted to digest Kyai Ranggana's words.

" So Kyai accused me of hurting my own future wife to make her die ?. Then after that I set up a plan to marry your daughter...?" ask Kala suddenly.

" On that matter only you know Kala..," said Kyai Ranggana relaxed.

Hearing Kyai Ranggana's reply made Kala smile.

" I know that's just the reason you and your family rejected me. But I don't give a shit. I'll still marry Arcana today, whether you like it or not...!" kala lantang said.

Ranvier, who witnessed the debate, stood up and said something that would make him more attached to the family Kyai Ranggana.

" You can't marry Arcana because Arcana is my future wife...!" ranvier said no less loudly to the surprise of everyone including Kyai Ranggana and his wife.

Inside his room Arcana seemed shocked to hear Ranvier's loud confession. He even accidentally dropped the mirror he had been holding.

" Ranvier...?!" call Kyai Ranggana.

" Yes Kyai. I'm asking you not to marry Arcana to that man. I'm afraid he'll hurt Arcana later.." - Ranvier.

" Well, I agree.." said Kyai Ranggana with a smile greeted by sighs of relief from all members of his family.

Kala's face seemed to smell the words of Kyai Ranggana. His pride seems to be torn in public to make him embarrassed instead of overbearing.

" Wait Kala...!" sela Sada tried to break up.

" What else to wait for. Take Arcana out and marry me to her right now...!" kala was angry.

Some people from Kala's entourage barged in to make the atmosphere become chaotic. Soon they came out dragging Arcana.

Seeing Arcana being treated harshly made Ranvier's blood boil. He marched forward and attacked those who drew Arcana. And fights are inevitable.

Arcana who felt fed up with the condition also finally showed her fangs. His ability to use a dagger was also shown in front of everyone. Arcana grabbed a bunch of spoons from the table and threw them quickly towards Kala's entourage who intended to gang up on him and Ranvier.

Screams were heard as the spoons hit the target. Luckily it wasn't the dagger that Arcana used. If the dagger used it could be imagined how many people would be injured.

Seeing all the people who came with him fall down one by one, Kala panicked. At the same time entered an authoritative man escorted several men into the house Kyai Ranggana. The guards swiftly grabbed Kala and made him not wince.

" Take me off !. You have no right to treat me like this...!" jerit Kala's.

" Close your mouth, Kala !. You've made enough mess. Now it's time for you to go home and take responsibility for what you did...!" said the man loudly.

" Don't stop me from marrying Arcana Dad. He has taken away my happiness...!" kala Sahut.

" Arcana doesn't know anything. I know your foul intentions are Kala. Now take her away...!" the man's orders.

" Okay, sir...!" the men's guards said simultaneously while dragging Kala out of Kyai Ranggana's house.

" And you guys, go home !. Why is it still here...?!" said the man while looking at everyone who was accompanying Kala earlier with a fierce look.

In an instant everyone who accompanied Kala was scattered out including Sada. But the man blocked Sada's hand and kept her there.

After everyone left, the man apologized to Kyai Ranggana and his family.

" Introduce Me Bara, Kala's stepfather. Forgive me for coming late because I just knew what Kala was doing." said Bara with a face full of regret.

" Call Me Kyai Ranggana and they're my family. What exactly happened to Mr. Bara...?" asked Kyai Ranggana after inviting Bara to sit down.

" Kala is the eldest child of My Wife from her former Husband. Even so, I love him and do not distinguish the affection for Kala and my other children. It's just that Kala is ambitious, greedy and willing to win by himself. He rallied the strength to rebel and occupied my position as leader. The girl Kala admitted as a future wife is actually My son from my other wife aka her own half-sister. Kala thought if marrying her would bring her closer to the position she wanted. So when he found out the girl died, Kala was upset. He intended to marry Arcana only to vent his revenge for failing to achieve his dream.

" But my son never killed your son Mr. Bara.," Kyai Ranggana said.

" I know Kyai. Kala killed him. The bruises on his body have explained what happened. My son was tortured and beaten to death for refusing to marry Kala..," said Bara with a trembling voice.

The explanation of Kala's stepfather answers the curiosity of Kyai Ranggana and his family.

" I'm sorry for the passing of your daughter Mr. Bara.", Kyai Ranggana said.

" Thank you Kyai..," Bara said with a smile.

After apologizing once again, Bara said goodbye while dragging Sada away with him.
