"Why can there be a picture of you hugging another guy ?" Jonathan looked shocked. But Kirana was even more shocked.
He was silent with trembling hands looking at the photos of himself shot at a distance and in the dimness of the night park behind the hotel where the party took place a few days ago.
"Who is he ?" Jonathan grabs his phone back from Kirana's hand, still reeling with news from a gossip account that preached him.
The photos taken from a distance only show one side, the face of Kirana which is clearly visible even in the dimness of the night. Dave only looked at his back. And at the party there were a lot of guys who wore black suits like Dave. So it's impossible that people immediately know if it's Dave, what else is taken at night and a little blurry.
"Austenia !" for the first time Jonathan grabbed Kirana's rough arm to look at her.
Kirana greeted him with a trembling bead of eyes.
"You hugged and kissed another man ?" ask Jonathan emotion.
"No !" Kirana mutters, turning her face away and trying to remove Jonathan's hand from both arms. "We don't kiss !" Kirana was shocked at her own talk.
Their eyes were both round. Jonathan's face was already red.
"I didn't do what was said, really !" Kirana says. His hands were still moving for Jonathan to take them off.
"Who ?" ask Jonathan. His usually smiling face now looks full of jealousy.
Kirana turned her face. He's confused. There's no way he's saying it's Dave.
"Dave ?" guess Jonthan.
Kirana surprised. But reflexively he shook his head.
"He called you at the party." Jonathan grabbed Kirana by the arm. Makes the girl grimace in pain.
"Jon !" kirana snapped while holding Jonathan's wrist which tightly gripped his arm. "Sickness." she whimpered.
Jonathan jealous. He loved his little friend a long time ago. He always felt that Kirana was his even though they were not officially married. And when he saw the woman he loved in the arms of another man, his emotions immediately overflowed.
"DADDYY...!" call Kirana scared because Jonathan looks creepy in her eyes.
"Kirana." Jonathan shakes Kirana's arm to keep the girl quiet.
"I didn't do what the article alleged !" Kirana said in a high tone. He stared fixedly at Jonathan with reddened eyes ready to launch tears. Kirana knows Jonathan is talking to his father. But in her heart Kirana was also afraid that her father knew and realized who was in the news.
Jonathan gulped. "I believe you can't do such a low thing with just anyone." He said.
"I told you, I didn't.."
"SAY WHO !?" Jonathan was really angry.
"DADDYYY ! DADDYY...!" Kirana calls out to her father horrified by Jonathan's voice which makes her ears hurt. He tried to escape, but it didn't work either.
"I didn't kiss her." Kirana tried to explain. "Take me off !" she hit Jonathan in the chest, so that her future husband would release his cage. "DADDYYY ! IBUUU !" Kirana clamoring.
"What's in the photo ?" Joanthan is heartbroken to remember three different photos that each feature Kirana cuddling, holding an arm and lastly looking like she was kissing.
"That's not true !" Kirana. He never knew Jonathan could get angry like this. "Take me off, Jon, tight." Kirana can't be quiet.
"JON !" The loud noise from Andreas who had been in the doorway shocked the two. Andreas walked quickly and directly pushed rough Jonathan from his daughter.
Kirana sobbed and immediately hugged her father.
"I break your hand if you dare to be rude to my son !" Andreas points at Jonathan growling.
"What is this ?" Marisa who was running around because she heard the commotion was present.
Meanwhile, at the Sanjaya House. Dave's face stiffly stared at a photo of himself with Kirana in one of the online media.
"No way, right, Kirana cheated ?" Angela put her fingers together on her chest. His face looks panicked.
Dave is still grumbling. It was him, but Dave was lucky, only his back was visible.
"Dave ?" call Angela because Dave doesn't react.
"Da, where'd this photo come from ?" a little surprised Dave asked.
"Almost all online media reported it." replied Angela. "Amorning soon it must be in after the print and electronic media." Angela's face grew riled up. "Pity of Kirana.." he was merciful. "She's getting married but has this kind of ordeal."
Dave's brain immediately turned around. Didn't expect his actions that couldn't contain themselves would have such a long tail.
"I'm a fool." Dave swore in his heart. He regretted hugging Kirana. "She's getting married to a public figure and now anything about her could be gossip." It felt like Dave was punching the wall of his emotional horn.
Suddenly Dave's eyes rounded, he was stunned. "What if mom finds out it's me ?" ask Dave in my heart. His heart raced with all the bad possibilities if all was uncovered.
Dave swallowed his hard-earned saliva. Suddenly everything feels dark and contains only a series of events that will defame the family. "What if everyone knew I wasn't Dad's son ?" ask Dave in my heart. "All will scorn Mom because I'm an illegitimate child. I'm just Dad's adopted brother's son." Dave's eyes were shaking. His knees felt limp, making him immediately sit on the sofa with an empty view.
"Dave, what's up ?" Angela's worried. He sat down next to Dave and shrugged his shoulders.
Dave turned his head towards Angela slowly. "My association with Angela could break up. Cooperation between families is also threatened to be canceled." Dave's forehead creased deeply with his quivering bead of eyes. "Then what about all the employees involved in it ?" Dave was still struggling with his thoughts.
"Dave, don't scare me ." Angela was worried because Dave was just staring at her without talking.
"I've disappointed Grandparents because I'm not a Marthadinata". Dave's down. "And now I not only disappoint but also humiliate them with my foolish actions that embrace a man who in the eyes of the State and the Law is a brother ?" Dave held his head with both hands and squeezed his hair in a frenzy.
"What's up, Dave ?" Angela is confused. "We can definitely help Kirana. We found that guy, Kirana must have had a reason to hug and kiss that guy" Angela concluded herself. "We know Kirana isn't that kind of woman, so definitely.."
Dave didn't hear what Angela said even though her fiance was right next to him. In the squeeze her hair with both hands and face bowed deeply. "Mom" Dave cried in his heart.
