I Love Not Lara

Birthday Gift

The cry of Love broke upon hearing the words of Marshal. 'God, what really happened to me, why do I still expect love from a man who doesn't love me. Why am I being like this? Why can't I control myself? Oh Lord, please lead me back to your path, ' Inner Love. With a limp step, he then stepped his foot into the bed and lay down the body while immersing his head into the pillow and crying as it happened.

"Love, I'm sorry" said Marshal.

"You want what else you are?"

Marshal then sat down beside Love, he then clasped his hand. "Love, I'm sorry." 

"Here you go, I understand, all you love is..."

The heart of Love is increasingly crowded, so that it can no longer continue its sentence. It felt like he was tightly gripping the Marshal's body, so as not to leave it. However, he had to be self-conscious if the Marshal was not his.

Marshal sat on the side of Love's bed and brought his body close to Love's. She then kissed the lips of Love so gently, her initially tender kiss now turned even more demanding. Suddenly, a knock on the door sounded.

TOK TOK TOK

"Mba Love, wake up. It's noon, with the others downstairs!" a voice shouted from the doorway. Love opened her eyes and looked at the clock on the wall. 'Oh my God, it's a dream! It was already 07:00 in the morning!' inner Love while neutralizing her breath.

"Yes Bi, just a second," replied Love. He then went into the toilet to wash his face. Then get out of the room, head to the dining table.

At their table, Lara, Marshal, and Arya were already sitting at the dinner table.

"Love let's have breakfast!" bring Lara. Love smiled and nodded, then sat down beside Lara. He did not want to make people suspicious and act as if everything was fine, even though he actually felt so sick especially when he saw the hands of Lara and Marshal who were playing around under the table.

Love also smiled bitterly while muttering softly. "In the last few days, maybe my feelings were really bad. My heart is raging, my mind is really mixed. Actually I want to be angry, but I'm tired of being angry at myself who has dared to fall in love with a heart that already belongs to another woman. And, in the end, it's still me who's feeling sick."

Surabayan....

After hearing the explanation from the security guard and his men, Nicholas also looked so angry. "YOU'RE ALL STUPID! YOU GUYS ARE USELESS!" nicholas snaps at them all. Kevin who was standing next to him also looked at them with eyes so sharp.

"YOU ARE STUPID!"

PLAQUE PLAQUE PLAQUE

BUGH BUGH BUGH

Kevin slapped and punched all his men, then spat in their faces one by one. "Sister Kevin, what should we do?"

"Nick, luckily you already have that grant letter. That's our weapon to get Arya's company. But we can't lose Lara either. He should still be within your grasp."

"Then how should we?"

"We have to go to Jakarta. Meet his family, and get him back to you."

"When are we going to Jakarta?"

"A few more days, Lara's birthday."

"Good Brother."

****

A Few Days Later...

"Happy Birthday Lara!" arya said after breakfast.

"Thank you Opa." 

"What do you want this year?"

"Married Opa," Lara replied with a smile.

"Married? Married to who? Weren't you divorced from Nicholas.

"Yes, after Lara divorced dong," Lara replied with a little spoiled.

"Who do you want to marry?"

When cold sweat sweat comes out of Marshal's body, he is actually very anxious if Arya does not approve of his relationship with Lara, because Arya had asked him to be a good brother to Lara, not to be her boyfriend or husband.

"Originally not with Nicholas, Opa would have agreed."

"Ihhh Opa, it's not possible, it's a reference," kekeh Lara.

"So far, who's the same?"

Lara then smiled flirtatiously while glancing towards Marshal. "Well, he's Opa" replied Lara. Marshal was so tense at Lara's words, his hands even seemed to tremble. As for Love, without anyone knowing it has now shed tears. But he quickly removed it to make it invisible to the others.

"MARSHAL?" ask Arya.

Lara nodded as well. While Marshal now feels increasingly anxious and misbehaved. Suddenly Arya laughed.

"Haha.... Good Lara, you finally picked the right person. I've wanted you to marry a Marshal for a long time, but unfortunately you're not interested in Marshal."

"Ihhh Opa, Opa aja who did not know that Lara had been dating Marshal for a long time, even before Lara was kidnapped." 

Arya looked at Marshal. "Is that so, Marshal?"

"Yes Opa," replied Marshal, still with a slight sense of awkwardness.

"Haha.... It's great, it's exactly what I expected."

"So Opa blesses my relationship with Lara?"

"Of course, after Lara and Nick are officially divorced you should get married as soon as possible. Three more months you're married, after Lara's term is over."

"Thank you very much Opa" replied Lara and Marshal together. They also smile with happiness. While Love, seeing them with such a painful feeling. "Congratulations, Lara, Mas Marshal," said Cinta with a slight smile, although her heart was actually so cheesy.

"Thank you Love" replied Lara.

PROKKK PROKKK PROKKK PROKKKK

They were all suddenly startled by the applause of someone. "Well, there's a love story in the morning apparently. Enjoy this temporary happiness, for soon all of you will suffer."

"Get me talking, Nick!"

"I'm still your husband, Ra! Speak politely to me!" reply Nicholas with a grin.

"Get out of this house and don't disturb our lives anymore!" aryan.

"Go? You should have left this house, because from now on this house is mine!"

"You never dream Nick!" reply Marshal while typing something on his phone.

"Stupid, look at this!" nicholas said while showing documents containing the abundance of Lara's property for him.

"Hahahaha, you're the stupid Nick. Just so you know the document is invalid!"

"How illegitimate! This is a document that Lara has signed! He's the rightful owner of the Bagaskara Group which starts today at 23 years old!" nicholas replied with a cynical smile.

"Do you know how the will of Ferdi my son sounds?" connect Arya.

"Yes, of course I know. All the property of Lara's parents will be transferred to her descendants. Let us go together to the notary to prove the will, and prove that now I am the rightful owner of Bagaskara Group hahhahhaha...."

Arya and Marshal just smile at her, while Lara and Love now look so anxious. "Nick, are you sure Ferdi Bagaskara's descendants are just Lara?" sahut Marshal's.

Nick then stared intently at Marshal, as did Lara and Love."Of course, isn't Lara the only daughter of Ferdi Bagaskara?"

"You're wrong Nick, my son Ferdi has two surviving daughters. So, the transfer letter was invalid since it was only signed by Lara!"

"What do you mean?" Nicholas's face, which initially seemed confident, instantly turned so nervous.

"Look at the two of them are my grandchildren, Lara and Lira, the two daughters of Ferdi Bagaskara!"
