The Pearl of Ternista
Tiara's Regret

The refusal of Tiara made the Goddess wrathful. However, he could not force it because Tiara remained firm on his stance. As a result, he immediately left with his oath of absorbency.

Meanwhile, Yanti protests and regrets Tiara's attitude.

"You should have just answered his request. If he knew it was his grandson, he would be ashamed of himself. Will not dare to be arrogant again," he said.

Tiara smiled, "What's the point, Bi? If you do not believe it from the beginning, the DNA test will not bring good results. Even if you already know the results, there must be something else in question. I was accused of seducing Mas Shaka for example, forcing him to, or whatever."

Yanti. What Tiara said had a point.

"I was wrong, Bi. But ... I also do not want if my pride is constantly trampled. Let him be born without anyone's recognition. I will fight for him myself" Tiara continued.

Yanti nodded, then gently rubbed Tiara's back.

"Whatever your decision, may it be for the best. Aunty can only pray."

Tiara and Yanti were released from the hospital. Both came home, but with different goals. Yanti to return, while Tiara just to pick up clothes.

Not much happened when Tiara set foot again in the house. Only Seno's sharp gaze was then responded with an apology by Tiara. Although it did not get a good response, but Tiara understood, the mistake was fatal.

Finally, while enduring the tightness, he walked out of the house. Leaving a place full of memories, while carrying all his belongings. At first, Yanti was crying. Then it was a bit quiet when Tiara said that currently he has got a place to stay—thanks to the help of friends.

Actually not lying. It was a friend who helped him. It's just a different .. friend.

'I prepared the contract for you. I've paid for the next six months.'

One message went into Tiara's phone, while she was still sitting in the angkot. The address in question is also included in the message.

Tiara let out a long breath. There was no intention to send a reply, it was still a mess of his feelings at the moment. In fact ... there is a bit of regret that slowly infiltrates the mind.

If that time were not entangled in his seduction.

'It's important not to ask for a DNA test. That's not good for you. I already have a wife, and my relationship with Shaka is also close. Later you are even labeled as an actor. I don't want you to be looked down upon by people.'

One message went back to Tiara's phone. Open and read slowly. A glance like a caring statement, but .. I don't know. Maybe it was just a justification or defense of his current attitude, which could be said to be absent from responsibility.

'I love you sincerely, not just influenced naf-su. So, I will always take care of you, I will not be damaged in the slightest. I'll touch you later .. if our bond is religiously and governmentally valid.'

Tiara smiled wryly as she recalled Shaka—'s reply as she asked 'why never ask anything, not even kissing.'

A special answer, but it was underestimated by Tiara. She preferred sweet lips that were so shrewdly praising the curves of her body. So stupid!

Shortly thereafter, Tiara's daydreams were washed away by the angkot driver's remarks. Apparently, he had arrived in front of the contract.

As Tiara descended from the angkot, the middle-aged woman greeted him kindly. He is the owner of the house, which he lives not far from the house that Tiara will live in.

"May Mbak Tiara feel at home to stay here," said the woman, after driving Tiara in and showed some rooms.

"Thank you, Mom." Tiara smiled, giving a good impression of the first meeting.

"Together, Mother. Then excuse me first."

After the owner's departure, Tiara went into the room and laid down on the bed. Unknowingly, her tears slowly sagged.

From this moment on, he will lead a new life. A life of solitude, which is sure to be much scorn and humiliation. How not, she got pregnant without marriage.

In a country that still upholds norms and religion, it is very taboo. Its existence cannot be viewed well by the surrounding community.

"I didn't think I'd be in this poem. Is this karma because I betrayed Mas Shaka? Or rather, karma because I desecrated the household of another, which was clearly his wife .. ah, but it was not my intention to be like this either. He was the one who seduced and offered this crazy relationship. I'm stupid for not being able to resist, just serving with pleasure." Tiara spoke for herself, while thinking about what fate would be like.

Seriate...
