I Love Not Lara

DNA test

Sunlight felt so stinging overhead as Marshal and Love welcomed Aryan's arrival. The two felt so uneasy, waiting for the middle-aged man to arrive. They can't wait to tell Lara what really happened. Finally the figure they were waiting for came. Arya got out of her car while looking at love with such a sharp gaze.

"Marshal what the hell is this? Why hasn't he left this house?"

"Calm yourself, Opa."

"I can't even calm down since he's been in this house!"

"Opa, now listen to me carefully and control Opa's emotions."

"Well, what are you going to say."

"Well, she's not Lara, but love."

"What did you say Marshal? Why did you turn stupid like this, and just want to eat the trick!"

"Opa, I can guarantee she's not Lara, I've even spoken to the real Lara via a video call."

"What's true you said?"

"Since when have I dared to lie to Opa? Please read this letter Opa, this letter was written by Lara herself, and look at the file inside this flash drive."

Arya then reads a letter from Lara. Reading the letter, a moment of sadness filled his heart. His eyes were so hot that even his tears could no longer hold him.

"LARAAAA.... FORGIVE OPAAA!!

"Marshal, then who is he exactly? Then what was the real purpose of him coming to this house?" point Arya at Love who currently looks down on her face.

"Opa, that woman is called Love. She's Lara's maid who was ordered to deliver this letter."

"But why is she so similar to Lara?"

"If the matter is I don't know Opa, but please Opa listen to my words. Do a DNA test as soon as possible" whispered Marshal so that Love would not hear it.

"What's your maxdud with DNA testing? Do you think Love is Lara's twin?"

"Everything is possible, Opa. Couldn't there be two people in this world who are so similar, without family ties? We mustn't let our guard down, we can greatly benefit if that woman is a Lira!"

"Truly I don't understand all your words, Marshal."

Marshal then brought his face closer to Aryan's ears. "Yes you are right, Marshal."

"Try Opa thought well, if something bad happens, Love is our last weapon."

"I see what you mean. Marshal, if Love really is my granddaughter, how bad I am for her. He's been separated from me for decades and I've been so rude to him."

"There's still time to fix all this, Opa."

Arya then moved her feet closer to Love who stood far enough away from them. "Tu..Mister."

"Love, I'm sorry. Sorry I've been so rude to you. Though you came to this house to save my granddaughter, Lara," Arya said in tears.

"Already sir, all we have to think about now is how to save Mba Lara."

"You're right, Love," Arya replied as she patted Love's shoulder and picked up a hair that had fallen off her shoulder. After that, he kept it in his pocket.

"Son, think of this house as your own. Don't you ever bother me."

"Good Sir. Thank you" replied Love.

"Let's get into the house!"

"Yes, sir."

Arya then gives a hair sample of Love and hers to Marshal who stands behind her. "Marshal, quickly take this hair sample to the hospital."

"Good Opa." Marshal rushed to the hospital.

****

An hour later, Arya waited at home with anxiety, until suddenly a smile spread on her lips when she saw the Marshal's car enter the yard.

"How did it go, Marshal?"

"It can't be that fast Opa, we can only get the results after one week."

"Can't it go any faster?"

"Can't Opa."

"But now I'm sure he's my grandson."

"If he really is your grandson, then who is in that tomb, Opa?"

"I don't know, when the accident happened, the police found Lira's body burned, and the body parts were not intact. She's in Lisa's arms, my daughter-in-law. So all this time we assumed she was Lira who died with Ferdi and Lisa."

"Opa, this is a pretty serious thing, the family of the little girl is also likely to have been looking for her body."

"Right Marshal, hopefully those DNA test results could be a bright spot for our next move."

"Sorry Mr. Arya and Mas Marshal, there's something I'd like to say."

"What's Love?"

"Lord, I think of the fate of Mba Lara. When can we free Mba Lara."

"That's what I'm thinking Love, it's definitely not easy to save Lara from Nicholas's clutches, we should have a strategy to free her."

"Do you have any ideas for Marshal?"

"While I was thinking, um Love do you know Lara's full address?"

"I know Mas, in an elite housing estate in the Surabaya area, even I know the ins and outs of the house."

"Can you describe where the housing is, the address of the house, and the floor plan inside the house is Love?"

"Of course it's Marsha."

Meanwhile...

PLAQUES PLAKKK

"Don't I tell you repeatedly never to try anything on me, Lara, or you'll feel the consequences!"

"Do what you want Nick! Even I'd be willing if you killed me right now."

"Oooooh isn't that easy Lara! I haven't gotten what I want, you can't be that easy to kill!"

"I'd rather die than live with you forever!!!"

"Of course, you don't live with me forever, baby, if you'd signed the letter, you'd be easy to let go of."

"Listen to me, I'll never sign those papers!"

"It's amazing that Lara's words, at first I will play subtly with you. But you cheated on me by telling the maid I brought to go to your grandfather's house."

Yasmine was only speechless at the words of her husband. "Now I will try to play more bravely with you Lara! You look at this!" Nick then shows a sniper who is currently directing his rifle and directed at Arya who is sitting in his office.

"You see my man in the building across from your grandfather's office? With a single shot from my sniper, then your grandfather will only remain a name.... Hahhahahaha.. Satuu... Two..."

"BADABB UNDERPINNINGS! ALRIGHT NICK! ALRIGHTY! I'll sign the letter!" lara shouted while crying sobbing. He then signed several documents containing the transfer of the company's hands, and the property of his parents.

"It's over, now please don't disturb Opa!"

"Well, if only your attitude was sweet like this, wouldn't it make it easier for you, dear? Hahahaha." Nicholas sneers while leaving Lara.

"Wait for Nick, wouldn't you also promise to let me go if I signed the letter? Let me go right now, Nick."

"It's not that easy, baby, I'll let you go after you're 23. Because your wealth's overflowing when you're 23 and it's a few days away."

Hearing Nicholas words, Lara could only cry. He knew Nicholas would never be so easy to free himself, even after his 23rd birthday, he wasn't sure Nicholas would let him go. His cell phone has now been confiscated by Nicholas, he cannot contact Love or Marshal, and can only hope they can release him as soon as possible.

"Papa, Mama, Opa forgive Lara. I'm sorry Lara couldn't keep what was ours" Lara said sobbing.

"Adrian, so when are you going to Surabaya?"

"Tomorrow Opa, my men have left yesterday afternoon, they have investigated the house where Lara was held, and have reported to me, I will be executed tomorrow."

"Well, then, is everything ready?"

"It's Opa."

"I'm coming, Mas," continued Love.

"Love, are you sure you want to go to Surabaya? You will be dealing with criminals! Aren't you afraid something could happen to you? I won't let you!" reject Arya.

"Okay Mr. Arya, I'm home."

"Now you rest."

"Okay sir" Love replied, then left them both.

"Wait for Love!" call Arya.

"Just call me Opa, I don't want to hear you call me Sir."

"Baa... Good Opa."

Arya then smiled, while Love walked back to the room. "Opa, as long as I go, make sure Love is always inside the house. I don't want Nick to know that Lara's twin is alive."

"Sure Marshal," Arya replied as she flashed a triumphant smile.
