Chapter 53: The Certainty that Rara Does Not Gain

*****

Rara sighed deeply and took it off slowly through her mouth. He tried to take a lot of courage as well as strength. His fingers were still gripping the phone, while his two eyes were staring seriously at the screen of his phone.

[We need to meet. Immediately. I want to know why you cheated and even abandoned our wedding preparations. Take it easy, I'm not asking you to come back to me. I just want your explanation.]

[If you keep ignoring me, I make sure you will be very sorry. It is not only your rot that I will spread, for I will also report you to the police!]

Rara is still awake waiting for a reply to the message she sent to Gio. The message that he hoped to be his last message to the evil man, because after this, Rara did not want to let alone be in a relationship with the man despite just knowing. Rara wants to remove Gio from her life. Because only then is it possible to reduce the burden of life. Because taking care of your own business is already difficult, especially if it gets complicated?

If Gio still abandoned their wedding preparations even though Rara did not hold the man responsible and take care of it, for Rara Gio was really shameless even cowardly.

Since Rara decided on Gio, the man had never contacted Rara. Even though Rara had sent Gio some messages, asking to meet to discuss the wedding preparations that Gio had left behind. So, when the message this time was replied, Rara felt lucky. Gio finally gave him a chance. No longer makes it like a news hunter who always asks a lot. Moreover, no matter what their circumstances were, before everything was fine. Gio always treated her sweetly though not as sweet as Yuan to Keinya. 

Rara is worried, she wants to know the reason Gio cheated and never decided when they are preparing all the wedding needs. Where, Gio has also finished all the wedding preparations with his future wife. Surely Gio has a strong reason, why the man suddenly changed even seemed to deliberately play Rara. And that makes Rara more curious, why would Gio actually marry Kimo's future wife, after previously having had a relationship with Kimi's younger brother Kimo?

[Gio: Where are you?]

Rara did not reply. He sighed deeply first before finally replying; [I am in the garden near your index.]

[Gio : Good. I'll be there in half an hour.]

Although Gio immediately replied, after half an hour had passed, the man did not come. It was only when an hour passed that a car pulled over across the street where Rara was. Different scenery Rara found upon the arrival of Gio who was no longer wearing a motorcycle. The man was wearing a black sedan that looked so shiny, signaling the car was still new. As for Gio's appearance, it's no longer the jeans and jerseys that make the tall man look like an ordinary person and work odd jobs as Rara used to know, but the style of the office even though not to wear a tie and suit.

Gio transformed into a wealthy man who looks alone until guarded. Maybe because Gio was going to marry the only child of one of the conglomerates in their town. Rara was completely unexpected and still could not believe that she had been in a close relationship with Gio for five years, even if they planned to get married and end because Gio abandoned. But with the situation as it is now, Rara who immediately moved from her seat actually felt foreign to Gio.

“What else?” tanya Gio sounded sniffy.

Gio looked very uncomfortable. Continuously brushed off the gaze of Rara who was before him.

“You need money? Or do I just have to compensate twice?” todong Gio was impatient.

Rara smiled sarcastically then crossed her arms. “Two times? After all you got from your conglomerate's future wife, you can only give me double? It's really hard to believe. I can even earn more money in less time without having to sell my pride like you did!”

Gio's jaw is hardened. What Rara said really hurt her. Then he took out a check from the side pocket of his pants and threw it into Rara's face. “Write, how much are you worth. After that, come to me!” he nodded for a moment before passing.

Rara fell silent irritated with both eyes still closed. The reflex state when Gio actually threw his face with a signed check.

“You think I really want your money?!” rara yelled even rmotionally.

Gio who almost crossed the road to his car immediately turned back. He found Rara who had shed tears with her face turned red. He knew the little lady was very angry.

“I came here just want your responsibility. Why are you doing all this to me? If you do not love me and have even dated many women, why do you also let our wedding preparations?!”

“Why didn't you break me up before you dated another woman?!”

“Because I never loved you!”

Gio's spontaneous reply so hurt Rara. Rara even forgot to breathe so surprised. Five years together, Gio claims to never love him?

“From the beginning I just loved Keinya! I only used you because Keinya prefers Athan!”

Gio continued to make both Rara's hands clench. Not willing to waste any time, Rara walked quickly to the evil man before her. He raised then pulled his right hand and was ready to slap Gio, but the man held him back, gripping Rara's right wrist so firmly, that Rara grinned in pain.

“Which I may love you. How could I love a woman born of a cheap woman like you!” Gio stared intently at Rara full of hatred as well as pain.

Rara's emotions have crossed the line. Even his body was shaking. What does Gio mean to call his mother cheap? On what basis? If indeed the man does not love him, it is inappropriate for Gio to drop the pride of Rara's mother who has long died.

“Jaga what you said!” resolutely Rara who desperately wanted to tear Gio apart that second as well. Rara wants to destroy the man before her until it is out of shape, beyond what she wants to do to Athan.

Rara tried to end Gio's clutches while continuing to return the man's hateful gaze with a similar look. Unfortunately, Gio actually pushed Rara full of energy through his grip until the woman's body sat down shortly after being crushed. 

Rara groaned in pain, especially her knees, until they felt very painful. Where when ascertaining it, it turns both knees until bleeding after having hit the asphalt following rough rocks on the side of the road.

“Actually what happened to Gio? Why is he so changed and even rude? What wrong? Because I'm just a sting? Winnowing because Keinya actually prefers Athan? I should be the one getting angry, right?” inner Rara. 

Rara sobbed unwillingly to let go of Gio. “Stop, Ra! No crying! Your tears are too precious for a vile human like him!” batin Rara rebelled. 

What Gio did made Rara feel really bad. Gio not only trampled on his pride, but his mother. And for the last time, Rara was labeled a cheap woman for no apparent reason, from the opposite sex and it was Gio—man who had dated her and it was on the basis of impingement.

All this time, Rara always behaved accordingly. Being in a relationship with Gio was also completely natural. They rarely spend time together. Most often on Sunday evenings, they would spend time together to watch in the cinema or eat out that sometimes would be with Keinya and Athan. The rest, Rara more often spend time with Keinya to take care of work in addition to campus affairs before marriage, Keinya also live one index with Rara.

With her condition injured like now, Rara did not dare to go home let alone to meet Keinya. The problem will be long if Keinya finds out about what Gio is doing. But let alone to go home, Rara could not stand and was in pain. So, what should Rara do?

Not long ago Rara was confused about how she moved, her phone rang and it was a phone from Kimo. Rara who had no other choice chose to answer the phone from the annoying man who was actually also being avoided Rara. 

At least, through Kimo, Rara hopes to get help, although it is likely that things will get worse if Kimo finds out the cause of Rara's injury is Gio, also inevitable. At least it's better than Rara staying sprawled on the side of the road like now.

“Where are you? There's time, right? Let's switch to video calling. I want to see your face.” From the other side, Kimo sounded in a good mood. Calm, even warm attentive.

Rara sniffles.

“You're crying?” sergeant Kimo sounded anxious as well as panicked. “Tell me, why are you crying! Who made you cry!”

“Flora, why are you just silent!”

Rara was closed resigned and getting sobbing. His tongue was a mute, and he could not answer Kimo's questions at all.

“Flora, don't drive me crazy! Tell me where you are, I'll be there soon!”

From across the street came Kimo who seemed to be hurrying. The creaking of the chair follows the man's quick steps. Rara chose to end the phone and replace it by sending a message.

[I'm in the park near Gio's index.] 

In his office, Kimo keeps running around losing his mind. Especially when his phone call was also ended by Rara who believed he was crying. Fortunately shortly after, Rara also sent him a message.

Sayings for greetings from employees passed by Kimo ignored. Kimo's mind focused too much on the phone in his right hand.

[Flora: I'm in the garden near Gio's index.]

Reading that, Kimo's jaw hardened. Kimo is really angry especially if his suspicion about the reason Rara cried is indeed because of Gio. Kimo would teach the man many lessons even if it was necessary to drag him into the realm of law.

Kimo immediately ran towards the parking lot in front of his office. A specially made parking lot for him, in addition to important colleagues includes the Kimo family. Kimo immediately pressed the car keys he pulled out from behind the black suit he was wearing and pointed them at the red sports car there. Kimo drives the car at full speed although occasionally, Kimo is stuck in traffic that has become the color of the streets in the capital.

“Because I never loved you!”

“From the beginning I just loved Keinya! I only used you because Keinya prefers Athan!”

“Where might I love you? How could I love a woman born of a cheap woman like you!”

The words filled Rara's memory. Words that so hurt Rara and slowly eroded the jolly girl's consciousness.

“Ra? What are you doing there?” the voice of a man who was so familiar in Rara's ears. When Rara turned her head, the man immediately exclaimed. “Why you?!”

That's Athan. And Rara was still able to recognize him even though her gaze also began to blur as the dizziness eroded her consciousness. Rara finds Athan getting out of the car leaving the wheel right at the former Gio parking the car. Athan looked very panicked and rushed over to Rara.

“What happened to you? Why did it come to this?” Athan kept asking and sounded very worried about Rara.

Although Rara's view is increasingly unclear, Rara can still hear quite well.

Athan immediately leads Rara to stand up, but Rara's body turns numb where both knees seem to blend with the asphalt where she sits.

Shortly after, on what basis, Athan's body was mental. Like someone who deliberately did it because of the mental body Athan following Rara who was again crushed, also accompanied by the sound of an exclamation resembling tonjokkan.

“One more time you dare to touch it, I make sure you will regret!” firmly that heavy voice that sounded extremely angry. The voice that Rara recognized as the voice of Kimo. Where after that, Rara really did not hear anything. 

Kimo is unable to control his emotions. He is furious at Athan who is again close to Rara. And when he saw the wounded Rara even to the point of unconsciousness by the side of the road, his heart really hurt. Kimo forgot to breathe looking at Rara who this time wearing a knee-length skirt, collapsed curled up with both knees bleeding while Rara's eyes were careless and wet.

Athan rose with pain that seized the corner of his right lip. Not only stiff, in the corner there also he felt wet. When he confirmed it, there was blood flowing from there and it was due to the hot bogem of a long-haired man who immediately carried Rara away.

“Actually who is that guy?” muttered Athan while releasing the departure of Kimo's car that brought Rara. From the way Kimo looked at her, the man was furious that Athan was close to even touching Rara as the man had said. In other words, the man who was seen from among the rich had special attention to Rara.
