RONA LOVE

EPISODE 42

Those pitch-black eyes scanned the entire room of the Cafe the moment it set foot there. He was looking for someone who had sent him a message. Until finally his gaze stopped on table no. 9. That guy was there. Edward approached her immediately.

"What do you need?" ask Edward without further ado.

"Order a drink first, Ed. I want to talk." Dayona replied. He waved at the waiter, to order a drink. One cup of cappucino and one glass of black coffee without sugar for himself.

Edward leaned his body while observing Dayona. Dayona, her childhood friend, now seems foreign to her.

"Ed, I want to marry Edna."

The words he had heard from Dayona's mouth. No surprise to Edward.

"Why?" edward asked coldly.

"I want to take responsibility for Edna and the baby." Dayona replied steadily.

"Is that enough?" edward's view was glaring. Imagine Edna's life ahead with Dayona.

"You mean? Do you expect me to say that I married Edna out of love?"

Edward looked back at Dayona, wanting to find honesty and sincerity there. Dayona's face shows seriousness. But why Edward's heart was still worried.

"You need to see Papa, Dan" said Edward after a long silence.

Dayona drank her coffee, avoiding to answer.

"When?" insist Edward.

"You set it up, I'm coming" Dayona replied at last.

Edward nodded. Then he stood up to leave.

"Ed ... Sorry" the line just slid from Dayona's mouth.

Edward only sighed then left after putting some money on the table. Dayona herself can only understand Edward's attitude. Their relationship is messy, not easy to fix with just the word sorry.

Since that time, it was only today that Papa Alditira came to this house again. This time, no longer alone. There was Aunt Asiera with him.

"Ma, Vana kangen" hugs Kavana to her mother.

"Va, you're kurusan, why?" aunty Asiera asked as she let go of her embrace to her son.

"Regular, Ma ... Vana is dieting." replied Kavana with a big smile. Trying to hide all the immortality that his heart has.

"Ed, all right?" papa Alditira asked while sitting next to Edward.

"There's something Edward wants to talk about, Pa."

"Speak!" papa Alditira said.

"Ehm ..." Edward stopped talking, considering there was Kavana and Aunt Asiera.

"Vana, take Mama to the room first huh, Om. Ordinary to confide." said Kavana. He understood that Edward was in need of privacy to talk to his father.

"Nova ..."

"Mas, I'll go to Vana's room first, okay?" pamit Aunty Asiera's.

Papa Alditira nodded and refocused on Edward.

"What's up, Ed?"

"Dayona's gonna marry Edna, Pa"

Papa Alditira's face changed. There's a scratch of dislike in there.

"Dayona wanted to see Papa, to talk about this" Edward continued.

"Papa doesn't like that kid!" papa Alditira.

"Edward too, Pa. However, baby Edna needs a papa, needs someone responsible for Edna as well. And Dayona wants to, Pa."

"Not to take revenge again? Papa's not sure." said Papa again.

"Edward thought the same. But Edna herself was convinced, Pa."

"I mean Papa?" ask Edward wonder.

"You are Edna's guardian, Ed." said his father.

"Why should Edward, Pa? Is Papa still around?"

"It'd be better for you, Ed."

"Is it because Edna is only an adopted child, so Papa doesn't want to be his guardian?"

Papa Alditira swallowed his saliva. His mouth was about to answer, but his tongue felt faint.

"That's gonna hurt Edna, Pa. Edward will never be able to see his grief" Edward said.

"Not that, Ed," answered Papa Alditira unsure.

"Then why, Pa?" insist Edward.

"Papa hasn't been able to meet Velila. Our relationship is over. But it would be very strange if at last, we would meet in this situation. You got it, right, Ed?"

Edward tried to examine the words of Papa Alditira. As a result, he became confused with his life. A life that brings them into a complicated relationship. Until it all seems difficult.

Dayona had just come out of the cafe, when she felt an oddity in her body. Suddenly he felt a tremendous drowsiness, after drinking mineral water in the cafe earlier. He had not had time to start his car, his eyes were so heavy that they could not be opened again. At that moment, he sensed that someone had entered his car and after that he had no idea what was happening anymore.

Dayona opened her eyes when she felt a light hit her face. The sun has gone up. Dayona tried to find her phone, which she used to put on her bedside table. Reach it, but he did not find his phone there. Dayona felt something strange. He watched the room around him, and Dayona sat down. Now he's not in his room. It's like a hotel room.

And Dayona was surprised even more, having found not a single thread covered her body, and she could see her clothes seemed to be scattered on the floor of the hotel room. Dayona immediately picked up her clothes and put them on in a hurry. Then find his phone. And he found the phone still in his jacket pocket dead.

"And are you awake?" The sound surprised Dayona. The sound came from the direction of the hotel bathroom.

"Rhea??? Are you here?" dayona asked with a surprised look. Not understanding what really happened. Then his gaze changed with a suspicious glare.

"And, this isn't what you think it is. Please believe me." replied Arhea.

"What's up? Why me, are you here? And where is this?" cecar Dayona's.

"One-on-one And, first let's get out of here first, I'm afraid someone is looking at us here and thinking things through!" bring Arhea.

Dayona followed Arhea's invitation. He wanted to get out of the place immediately and get an explanation from Arhea about the incident earlier.

They were in Arhea's car.

"Rhe, please tell me, what happened to me?" ask Dayona impatiently.

"You were trying to tell me what happened before?"

Dayona recounts what she remembered before she realized she was lying in a hotel room. Arhea listened carefully.

"Night till early this morning I was in a photo shoot at the hotel, Dan. When I entered the lobby, I saw you being pushed by someone in a wheelchair, at first I doubted, it was you or not, therefore I was tailing the person who brought you, he said, and it turns out you were brought into that room." The story begins to unravel from Arhea's mouth.

"When that person stops to open the door, I take a picture of you to make sure, it's you or not. It's true you."

"Then?" ask Dayona curiously.

"Because I was worried, I asked my assistant to keep an eye on the room, but this morning, he only saw the person who took you, coming out on his own from the room. And not back and forth anymore. So I asked the hotel to open the room, and found you there."

Dayona's forehead shriveled, thinking hard. Who and why did all this do to him.

"You have a picture of that guy, don't you, Rhe?" dayona asked after remembering that Arhea had taken a picture of her.

"There, Dan ... This is the picture I took when you were put in the room" Arhea said, propping her phone.

Dayona gasped once she knew who it was. He knew her, even every inch of her body he knew. A woman who has filled her heart and satisfied her desires.

"You know him, Dan?" ask Arhea.

Dayona nodded, "That's Fleta."
