Between Revenge and Love

Confirmation

That night Raphael looked for another inn. A four-star hotel became his destination that night. It's not too far from the five-star hotel he's been staying at these days. He did so to avoid the possibility of meeting Karen. That girl was once his favorite sister. But since the events of five years ago, Karen has become a virus that Raphael will always avoid.

After making the booking, Raphael immediately entered into his room. While lying down he tried to contact Dinda. But he also did not get an answer from his wife. Lazily tossed his phone on the bed.

Staring at the ceiling, Raphael recalled his memories with Cloe. A beautiful girl, clear green eyes, her foster brother who has captivated her heart ever since she sat in high school. The feeling grew stronger. Especially when he found out, that Cloe had no blood ties to him. So he could have taken Cloe to be his wife.

Raphael's feelings of love get reciprocated like a pair of dipper. Cloe likes it too. But they did not dare to openly establish a relationship. Raphael and Cloe agree to a secret date.

The years of their courtship were wonderful and many stories. Almost eight years they managed backstreet. But upon their graduation from university, Cloe changes. The girl started to keep her distance. At that time Raphael thought that Cloe changed maybe because of a misunderstanding. But everything was accidentally revealed. It turns out Cloe has another lover.

Raphael's disappointment was deep. He demands an explanation from Cloe,

"Cloe, what does eight years of our relationship mean? Do you consider my feelings just a game for you?"

"El. What I need is not just love. I want my future husband to be an established man" replied Cloe in tears.

"What do you mean, a man with a large income?" raphael asked.

"Yes a man with a lot of income and a good career, so that can make me happy, that's my future husband." Cloe sobbed. I don't know if he made that decision by force or if there was another reason.

"So Cloe, you haven't been happy with me all this time?" asked Raphael bitterly.

"Yes... El. You can't make me happy. When the other friend gets an expensive gift, you just give me a chocolate bar and a rose. I need more El," a demanding look emanated from Cloe's gaze.

"How much money do you want Cloe?" asked Raphael softened. Wasn't he an entrepreneur who had several advanced companies. All this time he hid everything, so that he still got love in the middle of his adoptive family. He did not want their relationship to be ruined because of the treasure.

"I don't need your money anymore. Because I've found the right man who will be my future husband" replied Cloe indifferently.

"Cloe. I can give you the money, whatever you ask right now, I will definitely give it.!" Raphael. He still loved the girl very much and did not want to part with her.

"It's too late! I have found my beloved man who will soon be the father of my son."

Cloe's answer made Raphael look up, "What do you mean Cloe?"

"I'm already pregnant. Edmund will ask me soon." After those words came out of Cloe's mouth, the girl passed leaving Raphael alone.

Raphael was deeply shaken. He did not expect the sweet relationship for eight years to end with a very deep wound in his heart. Raphael remained strong and pretended nothing had happened. He even became an eyewitness when Cloe and Edmund got engaged.

On Cloe's happy day, Raphael presents a mansion with the initials No. Although Cloe has been very disappointing, Raphael wants to give the best gift. The luxury home gift had horrendous his adoptive family. Again Raphael was disappointed when Edmund claimed that the luxury home gift was from him.

Raphael still had a heart, so he did not avenge Edmund. It was all because he didn't want to make Cloe hurt.

"Drrrt.. drrrttt" A phone call from Dinda drags Raphael back to the present.

"Mas... was the phone?" tanya Dinda felt guilty.

"Honey. Mas kangen."

Dinda complies and switches to Vidio call mode.

"Mas has called. If I just go home!" answer Dinda lazily. His eyes were soft, he had fallen asleep and when he woke up he saw a call from Raphael on his cell phone.

"Honey's... My work here is fucked. Mas company is threatened with bankruptcy" said Raphael origin. He wanted the attention of his wife.

Dinda was silent for a moment. He picked the right word. As a wife she had to come to think about what her husband's difficulties were.

"Mas. But money is not everything. Most importantly, there are still things we can be grateful for together. Linda can also help with the work later. Already mas, just lived with sincerity. It .. mas..."

Dinda called her husband, but there was no answer. Dinda smiled to see her husband sleeping. The man made her fall in love. She promised in her heart she would always love and be devoted to her husband, no matter what. Especially when Raphael is in trouble, he will be happy to give support to him.

"Mas Raphael, I will still love you" whispered Dinda softly. Only then did he turn off his vc and prepare to go back to sleep.

Raphael's eyes began to open. Actually he hasn't slept. He was just pretending. A cold smile began to be framed on his face.

"Minda.... This week I've tricked you into words of love and concern. But I don't believe in your love. I'll give you a test. If you truly love me, I will maintain this marriage. Otherwise, I'll throw you away like shit!"

Raphael's will is round. He did not want to be disappointed the second time. The heartache of being betrayed by Cloe still hurts. That event happened five years ago. Actually at this time the more feared is deceived by Dinda's love. If that happens, it will be very sad to accept Dinda's betrayal.

His past is bitter. Dumped by his own family. When he first falls in love gets a betrayal from the only girl he loves. Which man still dared to raise his face while accepting such betrayal? So for Raphael it was only natural that he should be more careful not to suffer the same injuries. Although Dinda was already a legal wife on paper, she could not guarantee that she could be trusted to guard her heart.

Raphael begins to devise a series of plans to give Dinda a test of love.
