Rani froze in her standing place just then, half in disbelief seeing Andre's presence there. The figure of the man who became the biggest reason to be present at his grandmother's farm, now appears in front of him.
A tense atmosphere enveloped the room. Mr. Philips sat in his wheelchair, just silently listening. While King, who could know what was on his mind at the moment. His face was stiff, his eyes sharply piercing, staring at the two people in front of him.
As if understanding what was going on at the place, Gaby rushed to the kitchen to make a drink for the new guests.
“Wait, I'll help you.” Grandma stepped quickly following Gaby into the kitchen, leaving Rani alone there. Grandma just reasoned, the real thing she wanted to do was eavesdrop on the conversation behind the wooden wall of Gaby's house.
“What does Madam do there?” ask Gaby wonder.
Grandma covered her mouth with her fingertips, gesturing Gaby not to speak. Gaby complies, and goes on to make coffee for King.
“Rani, I finally found you.” Andre smiled widely, his eyes seemed to shine as soon as he knew of Rani's presence nearby.
The man stood up, walked over. Only God knows how Rani's mood was, she was too shocked and could do nothing when Andre suddenly hugged her and kissed her cheeks.
“I miss you, baby.” Whisper Andre, grab Rani's hand and bring her to his lips. “What are you doing in this place?”
Rani flinched furiously, pulling her hand strong. It was like washing his hands right then and there, disgusted that there was a mark of the man's lips there. “What I do in this place is none of your business!” jangar.
“I'm sorry, I admitted wrong. Shouldn't make you upset and angry like this,” said Andre, making many pairs of eyes that had seen the drama between the two of them staring questioningly at him.
“I never thought, the world is so narrow.” King interrupted, laughing loudly. Stand up and open both hands. “It turns out prospective buyers of land farms Mr. Philips is the lover of miss Rani.”
“Exactly fiancee, because Me and Rani are getting married soon.” Firmly Andre, then grabbed Rani's hand and held it firmly no matter Rani jerked him trying to escape.
“King!” Rani shook her head strongly. “It's not like what you think. Trust me,” Rani said in an imploring tone.
There was a flash of emotion behind King's eyes as their gazes met. King, Rani calls his name without a sound, trying to smile at him. But King immediately threw away his face. His face looked hard.
Rani looked at King with such obvious worry, Andre's arrival had shattered the sweet hope that had begun to grow between the two of them. The beautiful night they had just spent together, seemed like it would only be a memory.
“You know, I never stopped looking for you. And this time, I won't let you run from me again.” Andre's whisper in Rani's ear, his eyes looking straight at King. He realized the closeness of the man with Rani, and will not make the relationship between the two to develop further. He decides to take Rani back.
“I hate you, will forever continue to hate you!” hiss Rani is nearby. “What you have done before my eyes, I will never forgive. Keep it all right!”
Uhuk!
Mr. Philips' coughing voice distracted everyone, Rani used the opportunity to break away and get away from everyone. But again Andre's hand managed to catch his arm, and hold him back to stay.
“I need to talk to you later,” said Andre did not release his check on Rani's arm.
“Let go, You hurt my arm!” hiss Rani, but Andre really does not care and it makes Rani more angry.
King clenched his hands, eager to separate Rani from the man next to him. But what right now, the man was arrested by Rani and they will soon get married. While he is a nobody, their closeness all this time seems to mean nothing.
Rani sighed, she understood what King said. His presence in that place is not desirable, it will only make Andre increasingly lose focus because he is among them.
“I think we can postpone it tomorrow, because there's something I need to talk to Rani about. It concerns the continuity of our relationship, I think Mr. Philips understands what I mean.” Limpal Andre, who made King's emotions rise.
“I think there's a little misunderstanding here.” King stared intently at Andre, and the man reluctantly let go of his handcuff on Rani's arm.
“since the beginning I told you only those with an interest in the land affairs of Mr. Philips could stay here. I don't care about your pending romance, I hope you understand what I said.”
“I'm ready,” Andre said.
“I think I need to talk first with King, to ask for his opinion.” Mr. Philips said, after sitting quietly watching.
Rani, who was walking in a hurry to get into the house, catches up with Gaby in the kitchen, almost bumping into her grandmother who was standing peeking behind the wall. Luckily he quickly held his grandmother's body until it did not fall to the floor.
“What is Grandma doing here, eavesdropping on talk?” rani asked anxiously, helping her grandmother walk into the kitchen approaching Gaby who was sitting in the dining chair smilingly watching.
“What is he?” grandma asked after Gaby pulled out a chair for her and let her sit quietly.
“He who is referring, Mistress?” Gaby asked with a frown.
“There are only three men in the room, definitely not your father or King I asked.” Grandma replied then, looking at Gaby with a frown then turned to look at Rani with probing eyes.
Gaby smiles at the dikulum, and Rani purses her lips at her grandmother's words. “Yes, he's the one. The man who had made me sick of continuing to chase me after what he was doing behind my back.”
“How dare he do that to my grandson!” granny growled, unconsciously her hand hit the table to make Rani jumped in shock in her chair. “You must prevent your father from selling his farmland to that perverted man,” the grandmother told Gaby.
“Good, I'll talk to papa later. Right now, let King take care of everything. I believe, King was able to overcome that man.” Gaby calms grandma.
Rani exhaled heavily, “What should I do now, King must have thought I would come back with Andre. King believed the man's words, he believed in what he had seen when we were engaged and getting married.”
Grandma looked at Rani and could guess what happened to her. Rani's face looks cheerful when walking together with King, and vice versa. But after Andre's presence, King's attitude turned cold and stiff on his grandson. King was even reluctant to stare at Rani as the granddaughter passed from before him.
“Tell me, are you guys dating. Did King say that he likes you and asked you to be his girlfriend?” Ask grandma.
Rani shook her head, bowed listlessly. “King never said he liked me, but he kissed me. And stupidly I was, I liked him a lot but couldn't tell King. What am I supposed to do, Grandma?”
“You're in love with King?”
Rani nodded, “I admit, I fell in love with her. And now she's away from me before she even knows how I feel about her.”
Grandma sighed, however, she could not let Andre approach Rani again and made King move further away. That's not what he wanted, because from the beginning he wanted to get Rani closer to King and hoped that the man would be Rani's partner.
