The Curse of the Ex-Lover

Moving to Jakarta

Tension appeared on Dara's face, ready not to be ready she had to hear the news that Julian was about to deliver. Looking at Julian who was so serious, inevitably Dara became so serious looking at the face of the husband who had accompanied him for almost 4 years.

"The company in Jakarta is having problems. Aunt Kayla asked me to handle it, maybe we should move to Jakarta. I don't want us to be far apart, even though Bandung-Jakarta distance is only 4 Hours. I can't leave you and Alea behind, especially now that there's our baby that we've been waiting for." Julian slowly explained to Dara, listening to Julian's words Dara's mind reflected on the pain that was still felt when remembering the city where he used to live.

"I'll think about it first, Mom. I'm still scared." Julian sighed, he knew the trauma that Dara had experienced towards her former lover. However, Dara had to face it instead of avoiding it. After all, the incident had long passed and the man did not look for the existence of Dara let alone to find out the state of the child conceived by Dara.

"Mas knows you're still scared, but Mas will always be with you. Mas will not let the man approach you let alone our daughter Alea" said Julian who gave understanding to Dara. During this time, indeed Dara still has the deepest trauma with the events that once happened to him especially when it comes to Bastian.

"I'm afraid that he's meeting Alea and wants to seize custody." Dara spills her feelings on Julian. He was worried about Alea who was the son of Bastian.

"You don't have to worry legally Alea is your son. He never admitted Alea never even found out about your whereabouts. I will be your protector because you mean so much to me." Julian is still trying to calm Dara down and convince her to follow him to Jakarta.

"Can't anyone else go to Jakarta? Is the problem very difficult to overcome by other family members?" Dara is still trying to keep her small family from moving from Bandung. She desperately wanted calmness in her second pregnancy which she had been looking forward to.

"No, they can't handle it. Even Aunt Kayla also had to intervene with me to overcome the problem that almost made the branch in Jakarta bankrupt" Julian's explanation made Dada understand how important the presence of Julian and Aunt Kayla in the company in Jakarta.

Herlambang family company in Jakarta is held by cousin Julian but has experienced a very drastic decline so that Julian and Aunt Kayla have to overcome the problems in Jakarta. Julian and Aunt Kayla have been holding companies in Bandung, of course, rapid progress has proven its expertise so that Julian was asked to overcome the problems in Jakarta. Initially, Julian did not want them to move let alone with the past that Dara had.

"Alright, I certainly can't be far from you either. Right now you and Alea are the center of my life. I can't without you two." Julian kissed Dara on the forehead, he was so grateful his wife could understand the state of his family-owned company. Julian has a great obligation to the Herlambang company. Both of his adoptive parents had mandated him to be able to manage it well.

"Papa, let's eat. I'm so hungry." Alea who had been watching her parents was impatient for dinner.

Somehow Dara's feelings became very palpitating when she found out they had to move to Jakarta. Dara is very afraid to meet with Bastian and his family, even though Julian has now become her husband and has always been with him. He is worried about the Anggara family, it is undeniable that the Anggara family's power cannot be underestimated. Although Dara knows Herlambang family is far above the Anggara family, but the fear remains given the treatment he got when he visited Bastian's house. Not to mention when he learned that the day after Dara visited Anggara's residence some people dressed in black known Dara looking for him. Dara recalls her second day of moving home from the hospital, telling her that some people were looking for her.

"Where have you been? Why just got home?" said Dara's neighbor who saw Dara's return. By then, Dara had agreed to follow Julian to Bandung.

"Yes ma'am, I ran out of this hospital and just came home. Oh yes Ma'am, I'm all alone, I'm going to move because I follow my future husband." Dara introduces Julian as her future husband because of Julian's request and to cover up the trail of Dara's departure.

"Oh, yesterday there were some people dressed in black and stout looking for you. There was also a middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful among them." Dara nodded at hearing that. Who's looking for him? It was impossible for the orphanage mother because she would usually call Dara and ask her directly to the orphanage. Dara looked at Julian who nodded his head, he with the help of some of his men had finished transporting all the goods in Dara's rented.

"If anyone's looking for Dara, please tell them that Dara has moved. Thank you all this time for being kind to Dara." It was not without reason that Julian spoke like that, he had learned that some of the people who were looking for Dara were Mama from Bastian and some of his messengers. Bastian had been investigating about Mama Rissa when Dara told him about Bastian and Anggara's family. Quickly, Dara had to leave Jakarta because Julian believed the search for Mama Rissa was not for a good cause.

"Darling, what are you daydreaming about?" Julian restores Dara to this moment, a moment in which Dara's happiness with her small family. Dara hopes happiness continues to encompass her without any shadows from the past that haunt them.
