Lying Above Love

Chelsea seemed to sigh because it was useless if he twitched, Sutikno already knew that since then he had deliberately eavesdropped on his conversation. Chelsea then said honesty to his father

that indeed he eavesdropped on what his father had been talking about, Sutikno then asked Chelsea not to think about what was heard by Chelsea.

“How can I not think about it? If Papa gets arrested by the prosecution, won't I stay back with my mom? I can't stay with mom, Pa.”

“You can stay with your brother if it happens but Papa is sure the prosecutor will never catch Papa.”

Although Chelsea has been pacified by Sutikno but still the girl can not calm down, she has not been able to accept the special relationship of the mother with Hanggara who is her own om. Chelsea felt disgusted at her mother for being in a relationship with a man who was much younger than her and even Hanggara was more suitable to be a sister for her than to be her mother's lover.

“Better you go to your room and rest, don't think of anything weird.”

Chelsea obeyed what her father said, she went to his room and tried not to think about the bad thing but the next day when school came home, she found her mother waiting for her at the school gate. Of course it is too late for Chelsea to go avoid her mother because her mother has seen her existence.

“Chelsea, wait a minute.”

Chelsea tried not to respond to her mother but Belinda held her hand and asked Chelsea to talk to her briefly.

“What do you want Mama to talk to me about? It feels like there's nothing we need to talk about right now.”

“Mama beg you to return home, Mama already has no relationship with om Hanggara, believe me.”

Chelsea seemed to not believe what his mother said, he still insisted that he did not want to return home.

“Chelsea, Mama beg you, please come back home.”

“Sorry Ma, but I have not been able to return home, do not force me.”

Sundari went to see Laila's family to talk about Laila's arranged marriage to Hanggara so that Laila's parents would agree to continue the match. Sundari tried to convince both Laila's parents but it seems Sundari's efforts did not produce the results he hoped.

“Sorry Mrs Sundari but we still can not continue this matchmaking because after all Laila has decided it.”

“Will but you will be able to persuade Laila to want to continue this matchmaking.”

“I really understand that you would love to have Laila and Hanggara married but if Laila does not want to marry your child, do we have to force her to?”

“You guys intentionally did this right? You are doing this because you do not believe that my son has no relationship with that woman?!”

Sundari gets carried away by emotions because of the rejection made by both Laila's parents when he wanted the match between Laila and Hanggara happened but both Laila's parents seemed relaxed and asked Sundari to leave if there is no more thing to talk about.

“You kicked me out?” ask Sundari not to believe.

“We did not expel you Madam at all, but if your business is done here then it would be nice to go out right?”

Chelsea called her brother and asked to meet him at a cafe after his brother returned to work, Austin arrived at their place of appointment rather late as there was some work to be done and also the streets when the hours of office commuting were very crowded.

“Sorry if you've waited too long.”

“So what do you want to talk to me about?”

Chelsea did not want to waste more time with her brother, Chelsea told her brother that their papa would soon be arrested by the prosecutor for bribery and corruption cases committed by papa

they served as mayors. Chelsea said she was afraid that when Sutikno was arrested she would return to live with her mother.

“I'm honestly not ready to stay again with mama after knowing the truth that mama and om Hanggara have a relationship.”

“I am too, I am not ready to accept that truth, om Hanggara and mama how can they do this to us?”

Austin then asked Chelsea not to worry because if something bad happens to Sutikno then Chelsea can stay with him in the apartment.

“Is it not at all a hassle?”

“Of course not, why do you think like that? I'm just happy that we can stay together.”

Hanggara always refrained from contacting Belinda after the woman insisted on ending their relationship, Hanggara is of course disappointed and unwilling if Belinda wants to end their relationship after what they have been through so far. Hanggara sighed heavily and in the end he did not call Belinda but Austin, he wanted to know the news of Belinda from Austin, long enough he tried to contact Austin until he answered his phone.

“You what Om called me?”

“How are you, Austin?”

“I don't have a pleasantry time with Om.”

“Where do you live? Can I come see you? Is there something I need to talk to you about?”

Austin initially refused to mention where he lived, but eventually wanted to also mention where he lives now. Of course after the work hours were over, Hanggara went straight to meet Austin at the apartment

that man, he needs to talk about something important about his relationship with Austin's mom. Finally Hanggara arrived at the apartment where Austin lived, he went to the Austin apartment unit and pressed the doorbell, before long Austin opened the door for him and invited Hanggara to

get into his apartment.

“So why would Om want to come here? Hurry up tell me because I don't have much time.”

“Alright, I'll tell you now.”

****

Hanggara said that he loved Belinda very much and that he was very sincere in loving her, Hanggara admitted that his actions were wrong for loving a woman who was still another man's wife but that Hanggara could not lie to himself that he loved Belinda, he was not willing if the relationship ran aground in the middle of the road due to Belinda who broke this relationship because she chose to keep the feelings of her children rather than the love that they had been through.

“Austin, you are mature enough shouldn't you be able to understand this?”

“I? Om asking me to understand the wrong relationship between you two? I should be the one getting angry here why would Om dare to do this to Mama?! To be honest I feel disgusted at Om and mama after knowing the relationship between you two!”

“Austin, please help me so that your mama does not break our relationship, I love her very much, I can not lose her.”

“Go now from my apartment!”
