Diana (Tarnished Girl)

Episode 24's.

"Take him off!" snapped Raka.

Diana and Revan turned their heads towards Raka who was walking towards them with a sharp look.

"Mas Raka?" murmured Diana with bulging eyes and a tense face.

Revan instantly let go of Diana's hand and looked at Raka cynically, to be honest he disliked the young man even though they had never been in trouble before.

Diana ran towards Raka and hid behind the young man, "Mas, help me!"

"What's this, Di?" raka asked puzzledly, she looked at Diana worriedly.

"She's going to bother me, please get rid of her, Mas!" shoot Diana while pointing at Revan who was fixated before them with a sharp gaze that seemed to pierce through her heart.

Raka turned her gaze to Revan, "Mas better get out of here! Don't make a fuss and annoy our employees!"

"I told you, I'm not leaving here before you forgive me and tell me where my son is" Revan said sternly, he was still staring at Diana.

Raka frowned, "Sorry? The kid? Meanin?"

Diana gulped, she was getting panicked and scared.

"Dafa is my son, and he hid it from me!" beber Revan pointed at Diana who was standing behind Raka.

Raka was stunned, she suddenly turned to Diana with glaring eyes, "Right that, Di?"

Diana's face grew tense, her tongue felt Kelu and her body trembled. He didn't dare say or refute Revan's words just now.

"Why are you silent? Answer, Di!" urged Raka because Diana was just shaking with her head down.

Diana finally nodded while squeezing her fingers to relieve the nervousness and tension she was feeling.

Raka was again surprised, "But why did you say that Dafa's father was dead?"

Revan was shocked, he felt hurt because Diana told others she was dead.

Diana raised her head, her eyes began to be inundated with a clear liquid that was ready to spill, "Because I hated her and assumed she was dead. So I want my son to be too!"

"You can't do that! He deserves to know who his real father is!" revan protests.

"But I don't want my son to know that his father is a savage and disgusting man like you!" diana replied, she immediately entered the laundry with tears.

"Diana!" Raka rushed after Diana, she was really confused by what was really going on.

While Revan was just speechless, there was a hint of pain in his heart hearing Diana's curse just now. Did Diana hate her so much? Should he let things go the way they were? But he couldn't just ignore his flesh and blood.

Inevitably Diana also told what really happened to Raka and Eliana. The mother and son were shocked to death to learn that Diana was a victim of human trafficking and had to give birth to a child without a husband. Instantly they remembered Diana's remark the other day about her bad past.

Diana nodded while wiping her tears that kept falling down, she thought for sure that right now Raka and Eliana tasted it bad.

"Geez, Diana! If it's just this, I don't care! I will still love you and be willing to be a father to Dafa" Raka continued.

"Yes, Di. Aunty's no problem, too. It's just the past, besides you're a victim and you're innocent" said Eliana, who clutched tightly to Dafa's tiny body.

Diana was stunned, she did not expect the child and the mother was still willing to accept it despite knowing what her past was like.

"But I'm a dirty woman, I ...."

"Enough, Di!" cut off Raka before Diana finished speaking, "stop judging yourself! True what Mama said, you are not guilty, so is Dafa. You're just a victim, and now it's time for you to reorganize your life and your future."

Diana was speechless, moved because Raka and Eliana wanted to think positively about her. Not many people think of her as a victim, most of them think Diana was a wild bad girl.

"Raka's right, Di. You and your child deserve to be happy, forget that bad past and focus on your future" Eliana said.

Diana re-emerged to think about the words of Eliana and Raka, she could not forget the events of that dark night, and every time she remembered, the pain immediately ambushed her. But he will try to start thinking about his happiness and future with the baby.

Revan returned to his apartment after deciding to leave from where Diana worked, his feelings and thoughts were completely muddled at the moment.

"But I don't want my son to know that his father is a savage and disgusting man like you!"

Revan walked on with a shunt while exhaling heavily, his chest feeling tight every time he remembered the sentence that Diana had uttered earlier. He realized that he was an asshole, but when Diana cursed him earlier, it was like a sharp iron pierced his heart.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his apartment, Revan immediately opened the door. But he gasped when he saw Lenny was sitting sweetly in his apartment, indeed his mother knew the passcode of the apartment door.

"Where are you from?" sergeant Lenny's cynical.

"The location of the shoot," replied Revan lying as he stepped in.

"Why didn't you come to the restaurant last night? You also don't answer the phone from Mama, you deliberately want to make Mama and Papa embarrassed, huh?"

"Ma, I told you that I don't want to be betrothed! So don't blame me if Mama and Papa are embarrassed because I didn't come!"

Lenny clenched his hand holding back furiously, "You're really stubborn! When are you going to be like this? Gossip about your relationship with cheap models is very disturbing the good name of our family, want until when do you make Mama and Papa constantly embarrassed? You're not young anymore, you're supposed to be married!"

"Ma, I'm definitely getting married, but I don't want to be betrothed like this! Let me find my own life partner!" sahut Revan's.

"When do we wait? We're old, sick, don't know how much longer it will last! We want to see you get married and have a child before we die, Van," Lenny's murmur filled with emotion, a clear liquid falling from his old eyes, but he hurriedly removed it.

Stunned Revan felt guilty mixed with pity when he saw Lenny crying, he could see a great hope implied in the eyes of the mother. Instantly he remembered Dafa which was his flesh and blood.

"Mama calm down, I will immediately give Mama and Papa a grandchild" said Revan full of confidence.
