FORBIDDEN PASSION STEPCHILDREN

Chapters 19. The Beach

Morning, marked by the sun that began to emerge from the dispute. Bright morning sunlight, shining down on the earth.

Karen just finished cooking breakfast. From five o'clock in the morning, the woman had been struggling in the kitchen preparing breakfast. She also cooks for her father's lunch and dinner.

Rico and Karen will be back after breakfast. Father has warned them to return soon.

"After breakfast, come back. From your story, I'm afraid that Arion has started to become suspicious about your relationship. I'm not sure if Arion will release Karen willingly after knowing you have a relationship with her" he said to Rico.

Karen and Rico looked at each other. Yesterday Karen had begged her father to be honest, what exactly happened to her father and Arion. It seems they have a past grudge.

But I still keep that secret. Dad stays in his stance. Just dad telling me to be careful when Arion finds out he's in a relationship with Rico.

After breakfast Rico and Karen finally leave. Looks like the father let go of his daughter with a very worried and sad face.

"Dad apologized for making you have to marry a man you don't love. I feel like I failed to be a parent because I can't protect you" he said with a sad face.

"Dad, I'm still proud to have parents like you. Whatever happens in my life, it's not my fault. Everything I have experienced is my destiny. Don't blame yourself" Karen said.

Karen hugged her father. Like they'll never meet again. So also with the father, as if it was so hard to let go of his daughter.

"Dad, careful. Don't work too tired. Call me if you're sick or need anything" Karen said.

He left his phone for Dad. It turns out that dad's phone he sold when he was going home. Karen bought Rico a new cell phone.

After that Karen and Rico pamit. Along the way, Cool just kept quiet. He still thinks about his father.

"What are you thinking?" asked Rico to look at Karen who kept pensive. The journey has taken an hour.

"Karen, whatever the risk is I won't back down. I will continue to be in a relationship with you. If we really love each other, we have to prove it all by fighting both. Mutually strengthen. Believe me we'll be put together someday."

Rico clasped Karen's right hand while driving. After a two-hour drive, they took a break at a beachside restaurant.

After eating, Karen played sand beach. He hasn't played on the beach for long.

Naked, Karen played with sand. Rico was happy to see Karen smile. She hugged Karen from behind.

"One day I want to buy a villa that is near the beach. Every weekend we'll spend time there with the kids" Rico said.

"I also have such a dream. Want to settle in the village or near the beach. The atmosphere is beautiful," said Karen.

They both forget they want to go home soon, like Karen's father promised. Spend time at the beach until the afternoon.

***

Meanwhile, at Arion's residence, the middle-aged man is in a rage when he learns from his aunt that Karen and Rico left yesterday.

"There must be a relationship between them. It's impossible to go to this place if there's nothing?" he said with full emotion.

Arion contacts his confidants to investigate the relationship between Karen and Rico.
