Chapter 90 - Quarrel With Bara (2/2)
”Why are you mum? Talk to me, Aldebaran. You know that I have great respect for you as a brother. In the end, I will still be a half-sister for you. You trapped me in this marriage. You sacrificed my feelings so Dino would not approach your wife. You are too naïve. You sacrifice me and Leon for your crazy love.”
”ENOUGH! You know that I treat you like my own sibling and not a half-sister.” Bara inflamed in a baritone voice.
”I'm not done talking yet!” Rere sobbed. ”You are afraid to lose Dila because Dino was attracted to her once. This kind of behavior only shows that you are doubting her love for you. You don't even know Dino. If Dino forced his love on Dila, he would have charmed Dila to marry him. If Dila did not love you, she would never leave you just to protect you. She was trying to hold on when she was pregnant with triplets. After all of that, you still doubt her love? Are you doubting Dino? Even though I just became Dino's wife, I know he will never force anyone. I'm disappointed in you, brother. You sacrificed me and Dino to satisfy that crazy love of yours.”
Dila was stunned to hear Rere's words. She didn't expect Rere to know the reason why Bara married her to Dino so soon.
”I do not want to sound so liberal, but I must emphasize something. Dino and I could raise Leon without this marriage. To hell with what others said. I did not evens ask them for food to feed Leon. Do you know why I treat Dino badly? Because I want him to hate me and divorce me.”
Rere's words are like lightning in the middle of the day in Dila and Bara's ears. Dino, who was on a video call with Dila, also witnessed Rere and Dino's quarrel. Dila deliberately aimed the camera at Rere so Dino could see them clearly.
”I'm not selfish, impolite, and rude to other people. You know I'm just a weak girl. I am always unlucky when helping people.”
Bara started to feel guilty. His eyes were teary, because of his selfishness, Rere was unhappy.
”Forgive me.” Bara hugged Rere.
”You're so evil! You know what you did was bad, right? Why would you do that to me? I must be the bad guy to Dino because of your selfishness. I was so mean. I was even mean to Hanin. I promise to love Hanin like I love Leon, but Hanin makes me remember Dino. I also hate him for accusing me of setting him up in the past. I can't forgive him. I can't forgive him yet.” Rere was angry and then hit Bara's chest.
Rere expressed the uneasiness in her heart. Once she releases all of her anger. She let go of Barbara's arm.
”I'm sorry,” Bara said apologetically. He felt guilty for making Rere cry and disappointed in him.
”There's nothing to be sorry for, bro. I'm already Dino's wife. Maybe this is just my bad luck.”
”Do you still love Angga?”
Bara's question left Rere speechless. She did not know why but this question seems difficult for her to answer.
”Why can't you answer?”
”Why should I answer that?” Rere tried to avoid the topic.
”If you're being honest, maybe I would change my mind,” Bara teased Rere.
”If I say I love Angga, will you agree to my divorce? Is that how you think? Did you think marriage is a game? Everything is not that easy, Aldebaran.” Rere stepped on Bara's feet.
Bara hissed in pain.
”Are you in love with Dino?”
”I'm not in love with him but being alone with him can make me feel like I will get caught by his charm. He's a good and responsible man.”
”Are you afraid to fall in love with him?”
”Yeah, I'm afraid to fall in love with him! He's too kind. Are you satisfied?”
Bara burst out laughing. ”You can't be angry with me for long. Actually, you're angry not because I set you up for this marriage but because you don't want to eat your own shit because you swore not to fall in love with Dino.”
”Damn you, Aldebaran. Don't say that out loud!” Rere pinched Bara's arm
Dila breathed a sigh of relief as she saw that Bara and Rere had made up.
”It's done, No.” Dila hangs up the video call.
”Tell the kid to beware of me,” Dino grumbled before the video call ended.
Rere returned to the room. He was surprised to find Hanin was asleep beside Leon. The little boy was hugging his sister in his sleep. Rere was moved because the girl was returned at her own will. Rere approached them and adjusted the blanket to cover her two children's bodies. She caressed her cheek as guilt welled up in her heart. She should have loved Hanin because she had promised Dila.
”I'm sorry, Hanin. You're right, I love Leon more and ignored you. Sorry for making you the victim of my frustration toward Dino. I don't want him to like me. Sorry, I can't be a good mother to you, I also can't be a good wife to your father. Your father is actually a good person, but...”
