Lies
For Everyone's Sakes

“Huuhh!” Karan complained. After adjusting her breath until her mind and heart were calm, Karan also looked at Raya. “True. My fault. I'm a really stupid guy!” said sorry. He took Raya's hand and tried to convince the woman. “I'm not married again, Raya. And I have no intention of marrying another woman but you. At that time I announced that I already had a partner so that no other woman would dare to approach me. You know how annoying they are. This ring is proof. Even though we're divorced, but nothing can stop me from missing you.”

Tears of Raya dripped again when she did not expect to cry at times like this. How could they live in a misunderstanding for so many years without any explanation at all? Lucky Ian came to him yesterday. Otherwise, perhaps until this point they would continue to be in endless misunderstandings. Raya mistakenly thinks Karan is married to another woman, and Karan misunderstands the status and vocation of Edgar and Luca. Karan will never know that Luca is his son who almost died five years ago. Children present in their fragile marriage.

Ian came to the gallery last night after calling Raya again. Unlike the previous one where Ray's manager picked up the call, when Ian called for the second time, it was Ray who picked it up. Ian asked for time to meet with Raya, he even willingly came all the way to the gallery to meet the super model. With a lot of paper in his hand, Ian faced Raya like a student who was facing his guidance lecturer while submitting the results of his research.

What Ian brought was horrifying evidence of the illness Karan had been suffering from all along. The man was severely depressed as a result of his past trauma. Raya thought the cause was because Karan was held for two years. But what happens more than that. Karan not only languished behind bars while serving his sentence just like that. He also received treatment that should not be part of the punishment in force in their country. Even Karan and other prisoners no one can experience this despite their status is a guilty person in front of the court.

“For 17 years Mr. Karan was haunted by Dona. She is an asshole woman who has abused many underage youth,” Ian explained to Raya about the evidence he got from the former orphanage manager Karan lived in.

“This is crazy! Is this what makes Karan hate his past?” tanya Raya while looking at Ian with nanar.

Ian nodded. “True, Mom. Mr. Karan has suffered a lot because of the woman's actions. But he couldn't report it either. There was a great responsibility on his shoulders when he took the name Karan Reviano. Reviano's company is completely dependent on him, as is the sense of trust given by his parents.”

It is a lie that Karan never intended to report the prison officer to the authorities. When Karan is released due to help from orphanage administrators, lawyers and villagers, he wants to avenge the suffering he has suffered due to Dona's performance. Especially when Karan has become the adopted son of the Reviano family and replaces Karan Reviano who has died, he has the power to drag Dona to prison or eliminate him from this world.

Karan is not a murderer. He spent two years in prison on murder charges, but was eventually released. His lawyer brought strong evidence explaining that Raya's father was indeed a troubled man. Not only to Karan, but to all the children of the village. Almost everyone has seen the man beating children on the street.

A few days after getting out of prison, Karan accidentally sees a middle-aged man being robbed near his village. At first Karan is reluctant to help because he does not want to interfere with other people's problems anymore. It had been quite two years he had suffered living in a detention house, plus he had also lost the woman he loved. Karan did not want to deal with such a world anymore.

However, when one of the criminals was about to attack the middle-aged man with a sharp weapon, Karan finally intervened. Being in prison makes Karan have very good martial skills. There he had to be able to fight against many people whose bodies were bigger and stronger than him in order to survive. A kind of law of the jungle that is different from the Karan life pattern so far. If previously he lived by relying only on his brain and sporting achievements, that time Karan could really only rely on his physical strength.

It is thanks to Karan that he can fight against the three criminals who want to attack the middle-aged man even though Karan must end up being taken to the hospital due to injuries on his body. The wounds he had experienced while behind bars plus the wounds he had obtained to help the middle-aged man.

Who would have thought the man Karan helped was the owner of Reviano Group, a conglomerate so famous? As a form of gratitude, the man financed Karan's entire treatment to recover. His wife's meeting with Karan changed everything. The wife, who had yet to accept the death of their only son, suddenly hugged Karan, who was lying on top of a hospital gurney. The woman thought the young man was her son who had been buried in the ground.

That was the beginning where he offered to Karan to be his son for the sake of his wife. As long as Karan could act as their son Karan Reviano would, he would leave everything to the young man, including the family company. For a middle-aged man it seems the happiness of his wife is everything. He did not even mind making a young man whose origin was unclear and who had just been released from prison, his biological son. For the sake of his wife he was willing to deceive everyone, including himself.

So with such facts, how could Karan possibly report Dona to the authorities? The power and property that Karan currently has belongs to the original Karan Reviano, he is only a substitute. If he reveals a case of abuse he endured while in prison, it means he must reveal the fact that he was once detained on charges of assaulting Raya's father. He would tell the whole world that he was not the real Karan Reviano and that would definitely hurt his parents.

In addition, Karan can no longer bring the death of his father to the public. Because by revealing the reason in prison will also directly open again the terrible incident and make the Kingdom that has lived its new life, destroyed in an instant. Even worse, Raya can also be re-engaged in the case.

From all these considerations, Karan also decided to close the incidents of abuse that he experienced. It's for the sake of her foster parents and also for the woman she loves.
