"That girl is the girl standing in front of you right now." Joanna added. Makes Kai speechless.
Even Dara who was crying was silent at that very moment. How could a secret known only to him and his father, be known to others.
Dara nodded in disbelief. Her net took turns looking at Kai and Joanna.
"That girl has made our lives suffer. You lost your family. And I lost a good father figure to Ziyo" added Joanna looking cynically at Dara.
Kai twisted his body, facing Joanna who looked flushed holding back anger.
"You know where it came from? Please, don't accuse me if you don't have evidence. Don't let your words corner others and ruin people's good names" said Kai was not quick to believe Joanna's words.
"You can ask the same person directly. My memory can't be wrong." Joanna dared to challenge Kai. Because he was sure, the middle-aged man who passed him in the hospital the other day was Yuda Aditama.
There were many digital traces left behind at the time of the accident. It was Yuda's face. So Joanna can't be wrong. When he passed her in the hospital the other day, a girl was holding a cordial arm of Yuda at that time. And that girl is Dara.
From the looks of it at that time, they were like a small family. So Joanna immediately concluded, the girl is the daughter of Yuda Aditama.
"Please don't just talk" said Kai.
"I wouldn't be able to accuse anyone without proof." Joanna picked up her phone and started looking for something.
"It's your dad, right?" Joanna asked while showing Dara a picture of Yuda. In order for Dara to see it more clearly, Joanna approached her. Then show the photo on his phone in front of Dara's face.
"It's your dad, right? Aditama Yuda. The man who turned the facts. Who hid the truth about the accident" Joanna said bluntly. Don't wanna cover it up again. And Kai has to know the truth.
Encouraged by his jealousy, Joanna uncovers truths she does not even fully know in their entirety.
Dara didn't answer Joanna's question. The one who blatantly wanted to corner him. He saw his papa with tears.
Seeing this, Kai approached. For neither heart nor pity to see his girl endlessly shed tears. Guilt is also felt at the same time.
"Become," call Kai softly.
Dara did not look. He shrunk his nose, then wiped his tears.
"What do you want from me?" tanya Dara finally opened her voice. After a few minutes of silence, even at a loss for words.
"Responsibility."
"What responsibility?"
"Jo, please don't slander people carelessly." Kai interrupted because he could not bear to see Dara's situation.
"I know he's your girlfriend. But you also have to know who she really is" Joanna said with emotion.
Dara now lowered her gaze. I don't want to look at Kai or Joanna. Yang Dara was still confused about their relationship.
Apparently true, Jo who is often called Kai in his sleep is Joanna. Dara could only sigh, exhaling slowly. So that the pain is not getting worse.
"You must be wondering who I really am, right?" Joanna threw the question back at Dara. Look at the girl who is still down.
"Johanna." Kai really didn't want to make the mood worse. At the moment, Dara is injured. Wounded by the reality that has just been revealed.
"I'm Kai's ex-girlfriend. His first love" said Joanna, no matter how Dara felt.
Dara finally raised her face. Bravely looked at Joanna, who was looking at him sharply with a flash of anger in the look in her eyes.
Ex-girlfriend?
First love?
They even have the fruit of their love.
Gosh darn.
It hurts even more if Dara imagines it. But as much as possible he kept it.
"Now you know what my relationship with Kai is. We also have the fruit of our love. And now I'm asking you to, leave Kai. Give Kai back to me. That's all the responsibility I'm asking of you. I beg your great heart, if you don't want me and Kai to reopen the accident case," Joanna said at length. With a stifled anger, for not wanting to make a fuss in the hospital.
"Joanna. You're this shit? Do you realize what you are saying? You've accused anyone so recklessly." Kai tried to mediate. Although to be honest, he also began to eat the words of Joanna. I even started to think back to what happened a year ago.
When he met Yuda Aditama's daughter who was lying weakly in the hospital ward in a state full of bandages almost all over his body.
Maybe what Joanna said was true. Could it be that the girl he met back then was Dara?
But, how can it be?
"If you don't believe it, you can prove it yourself. You are her boyfriend. You know his home address, right? Yes, you go straight to his house." Joanna seemed increasingly overcome by anger and jealous fire.
"Dara .." call Kai shirih.
Slowly Dara turned her head, looking at Kai who was staring at her. But demanding answers.
Dara realized, her current position was increasingly cornered. I can no longer avoid even lying. He just did not expect, will arrive in the situation as it is today. He even regretted what happened a year ago. If he had known, he would have met Kai one day. Perhaps he would not disobey any of his papa's advice at that time.
But everything is too late. Like rice has become porridge. Manalah knew if the family of the victims of the accident was the man he loved very much.
Oh God!
What destiny he is living. What bad luck happened to him this time. Dara could only scream in her mind.
If he was honest, would Kai leave him?
Nah!
Dara didn't want that to happen.
"What does Joanna say?" ask Kai again.
"You haven't even given me an explanation about your relationship. And now, you've also cornered me?" Dara could no longer hold back her tears. Which finally broke down and flooded his face. Because of the unbearable pain.
He was like a prisoner who was not even given room to breathe.
"You have heart, Kai." That's all I can say from Dara's lips. Before he finally left. Swinging his steps as quickly as possible, leaving Kai and Joanna who continue to corner him.
"Become ... Dara wait. I'll explain everything to you" Kai screeched as he took a long step after Dara.
But Dara ignored. He did not care even though Kai called him many times. He ran as hard as he could to get Kai to lose track of him and stop chasing him.
"Well, wait. Please, horrify me first," choked Kai again to stop Dara's steps.
Dara still doesn't care. He did not even turn his face away, even though it was just pitying Kai who continued to pursue him.
The sound of thunder rang out. The rain drops began to fall on the earth. Complete with thunderous lightning, and fierce lightning.
Dara did not care even though it was wet all over her body. He ran through the rain stub. No matter the direction or purpose. He just wanted to run and keep running. Spilling tears under the rain.
Kai's still chasing Dara. Suddenly the girl disappeared in the blink of an eye. Kai also down the rain, looking for Dara's whereabouts.
"Become ... Tara ... Please, give me a chance to explain everything to you." It's free for Kai to scream under the rain. His voice was actually muffled by the thunderous roar.
Dara is invisible in every direction. Kai was exhausted even down the parking lot, even to the streets. But Dara, still invisible.
"Become, I'm sorry." Kai could only regret and curse his stupidity. Crying about what happened.
Kai frustrated. Many times it sighed heavily, still with tears breaking.
While Kai searches for Dara's whereabouts, the girl secretly hides behind a parked car in an open parking lot, not far from where Kai is standing.
Dara curled up, hugged her knees tightly, minimizing the piercing cold, making her body almost freeze.
For a while, Dari was still hiding in his place. Suddenly he could no longer. Eventually, the girl fainted.
