Diana (Tarnished Girl)

Episode 4's.

After the departure of Revan and Sofia, Diana leaned her limp body against the wall, her legs trembling and like powerless. After four years, why did she have to meet again today with the man who ruined her life? And unfortunately again, the man is now his cousin's lover. What's he gonna do? Should he tell the truth or keep everything a secret until he dies?

Diana closed her eyes, the shadow of her heated struggle and Revan that night instantly ran in her memory, sending resentment and anger flaring up again within her. The wound in Diana's heart that almost dried up now seems to be torn back and increasingly painful.

"Mother!" rebuke Dafa who was already standing before him.

Diana was shocked and opened her eyes, crouched down and hugged the little body of her son tightly. Her tears instantly fell dripping with so much pain.

"Mother why?" ask Dafa when he knows his mother is crying.

"Mother's nothing, baby." Diana wiped her tears bitterly.

"So who's coming?"

Diana was dumbstruck, her lips as if suddenly shriveled and it was difficult to put out words.

"Mother, why silence?"

"Hem, that was his friend Aunt Sofia," Diana replied later, only this answer made the most sense to be easily digested by the brains of children as small as Dafa.

"Where should Mother's friend?" ask the boy again.

Diana let go of her embrace and looked at Dafa's anxious face, "We wait, yes! It'll be here soon."

Dafa also nodded.

"Who's coming, Di? Aunty's stomach aches all of a sudden, so Aunty goes to the bathroom." Siska hurriedly came.

Diana was nervous and misbehaved, "Hem, Sofia's lover, Tan."

"Where are they now?"

"It's gone, Tan," Diana replied with a sad face.

"Well, why not say goodbye first? That's a kid sometimes, yeah! Though Aunt was curious about her new boyfriend," grumbled Siska.

Diana did not reply, she was trying to endure the feeling of pain mixed with sadness.

"Good night."

Diana and Siska immediately turned their heads towards the door, a sweet black man was already standing there with a fluffy smile.

"Mas Raka?" Diana stood up.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little late" said the young man named Raka.

"That's okay," Diana replied, then looked at Siska, "we go first, yes, Tan."

"Yes, be careful" said Siska.

"Excuse me, Auntie," said Raka politely.

Siska nodded and smiled.

Meanwhile in the black luxury car he was driving, Revan was still thinking about Diana. He did not expect to see the woman again after such a long time.

"Oh yeah, who opened the door?" asked Revan who was curious about the relationship between Diana and the lover.

Sofia's face immediately pouted, "My cousin, why?"

"That's okay, I just asked," Revan replied, then asked again, "he lives in your house?"

"Yes, he hitchhiked in my house with his son" Sofia replied.

"Where's her husband going?"

"Nothing!"

Revan frowned, "What's wrong? Does he mean he's divorced?"

"Ish, why are you asking her just, anyway?" sofia protests, she is suddenly upset because her lover keeps asking about Diana. He was afraid of the same incident repeated again, where the man he liked smitten with the beauty of his cousin.

"I just want to know!" pretext Revan.

Sofia changed her sitting position and looked at Revan exasperatedly, "Areally your boyfriend is me or her, anyway?"

"You are!"

"Yes, then you don't need to know about him!"

"Honey, your cousin will be my cousin later. So what's wrong with me knowing about him?" Revan tries to take Sofia's heart with her sweet words.

And it worked, Sofia softened.

"Yes, anyway. But I don't like you wondering about her," whined Sofia spoiled.

Sofia nodded and smiled, she was always withered with Revan's sweet demeanor and speech.

At a restaurant that has a playground, Diana and Eliana are eating while watching Dafa play with Raka. The three-year-old boy looked happy and cheerful.

Diana kept thinking about Revan, her heart ached and angry, but she tried to cover it up so that no one knew what she was feeling right now.

"They fit, huh? It looks like a real father and son." Eliana commented while looking at her son and son Diana who looked very familiar.

Diana flinched and smiled awkwardly.

"Aren't you willing to consider mother's words this morning?" connect Eliana.

Diana frowned and pretended not to know, "Which words, Mom?"

"Marry Raka and be your daughter-in-law!"

Diana shook her head, she was confused as to what else to say. He had already refused, but Eliana and Raka seemed unwilling to give up.

"In, think carefully! Your son is too small, he needs a father figure. You see how happy he is when playing with Raka, do you not want to see him continue to be happy like that? I'm sure Raka can be a good father to him."

Diana recalled the exact same Siska speech that Eliana had just said. Why does everyone seem to insist on getting married? Is his current status so bad and disturbing?

"If you get married, you don't have to be tired of working. You just sit sweetly at home and look after your child. I can make sure you will live a quiet and happy life, as well as your child," Eliana continued, she really likes Diana and hopes that she can be her daughter-in-law.

"But I have a bad past, ma'am. I'm afraid it will ruin the good name of the Mother's family later," Diana complained with her head bowed.

"In, everyone has a past. Whatever your past is, Mom and Raka can definitely accept it." Eliana tried to convince Diana.

Diana was speechless, which Eliana said was true, but would the woman still accept her as a daughter-in-law if she knew she had been framed and sold to a striped man until she became pregnant without a husband. All this time Eliana knew, Diana was a young widow whose husband had died. The reason was deliberately he and Siska told the people to cover up her disgrace.

"Mother!" Dafa ran over and immediately sat on Diana's lap, making the woman's daydream crumble.

"Eh, are you done playing?" ask Diana.

"Already, but I'm hungry," Dafa fights spoiled.

"Yes, I'm hungry too" continued Raka who followed spoiled.

"Then you eat, you!" pinta Diana while thrusting food in front of Raka and Dafa.

Eliana smiled at the closeness of her son to Diana and Dafa, for a long time she liked the woman and hoped to be able to ask her to be a daughter-in-law.

***

After being satisfied with playing and having dinner together, Raka drove Diana and Dafa who had fallen asleep back home. While Eliana was already down in her house, the middle-aged woman deliberately gave time so that the son could more freely talk to Diana.

"Thank you for everything, yes, Mas" Diana said after putting Dafa on the living room couch.

"Sama-sama," replied Raka.

"I'm sorry that Dafa took care of me."

"No, really! I'm just happy to be able to play with him, because he's smart and funny" said Raka interspersed with his little laugh.

At the same time, a luxurious black car entered the grounds of Siska's house and stopped right beside Raka's car. Revan and Sofia get out of the car.

Seeing Revan's reappearance again, Diana was immediately tense and awkward, her heart pounding.

Revan looked at Diana and Raka alternately, while his gaze met Diana's eyes, but quickly the woman turned away.

Sofia wrestles on Revan's arm to show off her affection to Raka and Diana.

"I'm going in first, yeah, Mom. Thanks again, good night."

"Yes, good night" Raka replied.

Diana hurriedly entered the house without looking towards Revan and Sofia. Raka also left after having time to throw a smile at two people who stood not far from him.

"Get in first, yuk!" bring Sofia.

"Other times, I'm tired and want to rest."

"Yes, yeah."

"I'm home, huh? Good night." Revan rushed into his car and sped away.

Sofia's face turned sour as Revan left without giving a kiss good night, but she wished the man had kissed her. From behind the window, Diana watched them with mixed feelings.
