Friend Bed

A conspiracy?

Abimana and Inara entered her house while holding back the raging feeling in their hearts, before stepping into the room, Inara pulls Abimanas hand to sit first on the sofa near their room.

"What's Inara?"

"Well, there's actually something I want to talk to you about and it really bothers me" Inara said.

"What's Inara? Do you have any doubts about the decision we made? Inara, we must prevent all the mistakes that have happened in my past from being repeated, there must be no Ghea in Sharen."

"You're right Abimana, but there's actually something that's bothering my mind, it has something to do with my suspicions about Sharen's feelings."

"What do you mean, Inara?"

"Abimana, even though I'm not Sharen's real mother but my instinct as a woman says that Sharen has feelings for Nathan."

"How can you say that, Inara?"

"I began to observe Sharen's movements at Kenzo's wedding, as Nathan approached and sat down with us. We didn't know that Nathan was dating Clarissa at the time, so I thought he was sitting down with us to talk and wait for his parents. It might have been Nathan's intention to sit with us to get close to Clarissa, but at that moment I could see a look of happiness on Sharen's face as well as an unusual look in his eyes when he saw Nathan. But the look of that happy face changed when Nala, the twin of Nathan shouted if there was a lipstick stain on Nathan's lips, at that time I could see anger and sadness on Sharen's face."

Hearing Inara's words, Abimana frowned. "Lipstick stains?" ask Abimana.

"Yes, while he was with us, Nathan suddenly said goodbye to look for his parents and soon Clarissa went to the back, after which we saw a lipstick stain on Nathan's lips, and I could see clearly that Sharen looked so angry and sad when she saw that there was a lipstick stain on Nathan's lips."

"So you're saying that during Kenzo's wedding, Nathan and Clarissa were making out and making Sharen feel upset?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. Not only that Abimana, when the incident happened that night, when Nathan held the qabul I also saw the look of a happy face on Sharen's face, Sharen, not the look on the face of sadness and depression as he showed when we first met them in the village hall office."

"God, what exactly happened? Does my daughter really like Nathan? Would our decision to let himself stay at Leo and Calista's house for a while backfire? Why did you just say this to me, Inara?"

"I'm sorry Abimana because I wasn't sure at first, but after that I went into Nathan's room before we went home to put Sharen's favorite food in that room I was really sure when I saw a scrap of paper that contained the contents of Sharen's heart to Nathan," Inara said, biting her lower lip.

"Geez!" abimana grumbled while rubbing his face violently.

Without them noticing, someone seemed to be standing behind a wall and involuntarily overheard their conversation. He then rushed away and went into his room.

"What's Kenzo?" cleo asked as Kenzo entered the room in a hurry with a look on his face that indicated millions of question marks.

"Cleo, I really don't understand what's been going on lately, it turns out that so much is hidden by everyone behind us."

"What do you mean, Kenzo?"

"This cleo has something to do with Brother Sharen, Brother Nathan and also Clarissa."

"It turns out he's been back from Bandung a long time and had a tragic incident with Brother Nathan before we came here, but they've all hidden this truth from us, Cleo."

"What do you mean, Kenzo? I really don't understand?"

Kenzo then recounts everything he heard from Abimana and Inara. Cleo who was so shocked when she heard Kenzo's story was now seen frowning while covering her mouth.

"So you're saying there's a love triangle between Sharen, Nathan and Clarissa?"

"Yes and Nathan's brother were forced to marry Kak Sharen because there was a trap for them, at that time Kak Nathan had just returned from Bandung after delivering Clarissa."

"Oh then I just understand now why our parents decided to marry Nathan and Clarissa that night, they must have wanted to avoid something bad happening to Nathan and Clarissa's relationship. But wasn't that time Kak Sharen also just returned from Bandung? So they met when they both came home from Bandung right? Kenzo, this is no coincidence."

"What do you mean, Cleo?"

"Conspiration."

"Who did the conspiracy because Brother Sharen and Brother Nathan were both victims?"

"If you don't think this is a conspiracy, then who set them up?"

"I think this has something to do with revenge, there is someone who has a grudge against Brother Sharen, the thug suddenly wants to kidnap Kak Sharen without taking a single item from him, especially if it is not a grudge? Good thing Nathan came to save Sharen, otherwise I don't know what will happen to Sharen."

"Then who's the grudge against Sharen's sister, Kenzo?"

"It must have something to do with Aleta, somehow I always thought that the kidnapping done by Kak Sharen would definitely be fatal to herself."

"So you think there's a grudge against Sharen because after Aleta was kidnapped by him she suffered paralysis and physical disability?"

"It's likely that way."

"But I don't think the problem is that simple, Kenzo. If that person was just a grudge against Brother Sharen there's no way he'd have the heart to sacrifice Nathan's pride, because the real victim here is Nathan, not Brother Sharen!"

"I really don't understand, Cleo."

"Kenzo, think with a clear mind and pull the common thread between the love triangle story and the act of revenge, surely the real perpetrator has taken advantage of the situation for his personal benefit in order to benefit from the incident."

"Who do you think did it, Cleo?"

Cleo was silent to Kenzo's words.
