Mentari for Dawn

CHAPTER 22 - Claudia's Concerns

Dance did not flinch with Ranty's presence and the gentle touch on her shoulders. His gaze is still empty.

"Tar, what's wrong with you? How did it end up crying? Tell me, what else did Moza do this time? Did he come back to cheat you? Make your relationship and your father even more upset? Tell Tar. I want to know?" Ranty tried to ask gently and attentively.

"Ran" said Tari lirih without looking. Ranty's face was glowing. She thought that Dance would tell her what happened to her. But the estimate was missed.

"I'm so tired. I'm also very sleepy. I want to sleep. Please don't bother me. I don't want to say anything for now. I need a break. Good night" Continue Dance with sadness.

Then he laid his body on the minimalist mattress, with the position of the body curled back to Ranty who saw him with a look of confusion and full of question marks.

Moza arrived at her house feeling sad. She's sure Gerald must be having fun with Dance by now. I don't know how many rounds they've spent.

Now he really felt very satisfied that he had destroyed Dance's life completely, leaving nothing behind. Including his pride.

Especially if she gets pregnant. Papa will be furious. And Papa will certainly never hesitate again if Dance is not a good woman. Because a good woman can't possibly get pregnant out of wedlock, right?

Moza smiled cunningly imagining the possibility. He hoped it would happen. And he was also convinced that Gerald would never want to take responsibility.

"Dear"

Moza turned her head and saw her new mother coming in and was closing the door to her room.

"Eh Mama" Moza answered her Mama's reprimand with a cheerful smile. Claudia walked up to Moza, then she sat on the side of the bed beside the princess.

"You why? How come home, your face looks so cheerful? Where are you actually finished?" Claudia scoffs at Moza with curious furrowed eyebrows.

"I've saved our strategy" Moza replied casually with a sly smile.

"You mean?" Claudia asked in confusion.

"Just take it easy, Mama. After this I am sure, Papa Tristan will never be able to melt again against Dance. He would have hated her so much. And, all our plans during this time will be forever safe. Because after this, Tari would no longer be able to defend herself. Or act like a saintly pretender again" Moza answered confidently while smiling brightly.

"Why have you finished? You didn't do anything weird, did you? Anyway Mama doesn't want ya, you're acting recklessly that will get you in big trouble" Claudia warned with great emphasis. His feelings began to worry, for fear that his son would do things that could be fatal.

"Oh Ma.... Hmmm, you don't need a parno like that. It's just that I've saved us from big trouble" Moza insisted.

"Yes already then, same story Mama, did you finish Dance?" Urge Claudia with a firm tone.

Finally Moza told everything to the woman who had given birth to him, whatever he had done to Dance. How she teams up with Gerald to trap Tari, until Gerald catches her and rapes her.

"Oh Ma, don't talk out loud. If Papa hears how?

Mama want him to be mad?" Moza warned in a soft and slightly pressing voice, while looking at the door anxiously.

"What are you crazy about? You teamed up with Gerald, and made him rape Dari? Oh my God Moza.... The problem of photos and videos yesterday only, until now still makes Mama anxious and tense afraid at any time caught by Papa. And now you're getting on with a new problem"

Claudia nagged Moza with annoyance so worried if what was done by her daughter, it would backfire on herself in the future.

"Yes.... Yesterday Mama herself told me to find a way, so that Papa stays angry and has bad thoughts about Dance. So that Papa won't let him come back to this house. And the only idea that crossed my head was just that. By making Dance lose her virginity.

Try to think, if until the rape is fruitful until Tari is pregnant, what will Papa think about Dance? She will definitely assume that Tari is a cheap woman, who has often slept with men so she can get pregnant.

And who benefits the most from this incident? Yes, we are Ma. Because our faked photos and videos will remain safe"

"Yes. But if it gets caught how? You think not anyway? This is a rape case. In other words, criminal action. If Tari gets desperate to report Gerald to the police how? Of course he will also say about your involvement in this. Especially you, who made Tari come to that place?"

Claudia warned and explained the bad possibility that could happen, the result of their actions. Although little did he himself admit, that the plan would keep their secrets safe.

But what if Tari got desperate to involve the police in this matter? There is a great disaster that will befall them.

"Mama just calm down okay. Gerald's not a random person. He had already arranged all of this as neatly as possible. Because he also wanted to take his revenge against Dari who had insulted and humiliated him at the party the other day. So I'm pretty sure, that he won't let himself up to dealing with the cops just because of the woman he hates"

Moza was still adamant that everything would be fine. Although in his heart he started to feel a little anxious about the bad possibility.

"Just like you don't want to know, you have to make sure that this problem will remain safe. Now you call Gerald. Because Mama wants to hear straight from her mouth, that she will never get you in trouble for what she did to Dari" Claudia said in a firm and serious tone.

"Yes-yes, I'm calling her now" Moza relented and picked up her phone, then contacted Gerald like Mama ordered.

"Good night Mom, Mom. Muah" Gerald arrived at his house. With a feeling of excitement, he kissed Mama and Omanya who were cool watching television in the family room.

"Good night baby. Where did you end up? How come you look so happy?" Astrid also felt happy, but was curious to see the attitude of her son who was not as usual.

"Biasalah Ma, the affairs of the young..." Gerald's chirps were accompanied by a mysterious smile.

"Young man? You realize not really? You're not a young man anymore. You're 31 years old. You are an adult. You should have married and given Oma a great-grandson who would be the successor to the Lazuardi group" Typal Oma Violet nagged.
