Chapter 90 - Quarrel With Bara (1/2)
”Re, can we talk?” Bara approached Rere who was sitting in the pool.
”What?” Rere glared at his stepbrother. ”Do you want to defend your wife?”
”Why do you think so?” Bara was surprised to find her sister's rude attitude.
”What else do you want to talk about if it's not about the park incident.”
”What happened?” Bara was confused. He didn't understand what Rere said.
”Don't be foolish. Dila must have told you that we had a fight in the park earlier. I hate your wife! She humiliated me and the backbiting mothers also insulted me.”
”What do you mean?” Bara was furious and grabbed Rere's arm. He was angry because Rere had started to be disrespectful to him.
”Don't pretend that you know nothing.”
”Dila didn't tell me anything!” Bara snapped at Rere. His face was sour and his gaze was sharp.”
”I'm telling the truth.” Bara glanced at Rere. He stared intently as if he wanted to destroy Rere.
Dumbfounded and confused, Rere looked at Bara. The woman shuddered at Bara's expression. Rere regretted accusing his brother since the man did not seem to know anything. Did Dila did not tell her husband what happened in the park this afternoon?
Bara sighed as he walked toward Rere. He touched Rere's shoulder and spoke softly, ”What happened?”
”Sis Dila didn't tell you?” Rere still finds it hard to believe that Bara doesn't know anything about the incident.
”Seriously,” Bara replied slowly. ”Tell me!”
Rere was forced to speak because of her slip of the tongue. She cursed her own stupidity. She vented her anger as soon as Bara came. Rere told him the incident at the park to Bara without missing anything
”Gosh.” He rubbed his face roughly. ”I'm not defending anyone. Both of you are my wife and my sister. Please… you guys need to get along and stop fighting.”
”I don't want to fight but Sis Dila blocked me from bringing Hanin back.”
”You haven't changed, Re. I thought you would change when you got married. It turns out that you are still selfish, stubborn, and childish.” Bara shaking his head.
”You are selfish too.” Rere did not accept Bara's accusation. She didn't know where the courage to confront Bara came from.
”How come I am selfish? I married you to Dino for your own good. Leon must get a legal identity. I don't want him to be mocked down when he grows up because his father's name is not on his birth certificate.”
”You married me to Dino just for that?” Rere confronted Bara. She felt that Bara had gone too far to interfere in her personal matters. She feels trapped in her marriage with Dino.
”Just for that?” Bara repeated Rere's sentence. ”What do you mean?”
”You will understand what I mean.” Rere grabbed Bara's hand.
”Explain to me!” Bara growled, glancing at Rere's hand that was gripping it.
Dila, who happened to take Hanin home after persuading the child, was stunned to see Rere and Bara were in the middle of an argument. The two of them glared at each other in silence.
”Hanin, go to your room first,” said Dila, stroking Hanin's head.
”Okay, mom.” Hanin nodded then left Dila alone.
Dila watched Bara and Rere's argument from afar. Because of her unstable emotion, Rere spoke loudly.
”You took advantage of me.” Rere almost screams in tears. She knows Bara's reason behind her marriage.
”What did you say?” Bara is still confused.
”Stop acting like you don't know. I already know why you are so persistent in getting us married. You used Leon as a tool to get me to accept this marriage, right? Answer me!” Rere was frustrated as she pulled Bara's collar.
Bara did not answer and kept silent. He did not expect that Rere would find out about that so soon.
