The Love That Is Taken

Receiving with Resignation

Rosa whose heart was torn to witness the state of the girl whom she had considered to be like her own child said softly, "Here you go, son. Let's face this issue together, yes. From now on be honest with Auntie. No one is covered up anymore. Learn to take wisdom from this."

Karin nodded. He felt a little comforted with his tantric support. Theresia who watched the melodrama scene in front of her felt fed up. He sneered hatefully.

"How, Karin?!" ask her in a high tone. His fiery eyes stared at his slumped rival, as if to show his boundless power. The end of the cutter was re-attached to his wrist. "My lawful power I give you the full right to spend my wealth to destroy your lives, Mas Jon, and your children. Even Aunt Rosa and Om Bernard if necessary...."

"Even, enough!" yelled Karin emotionally. "Followed your offer! I gotcha!"

Theresia's heart was like being dislodged hearing her rival give up on losing. He smiled broadly. I don't know why he doesn't feel happy....

In the afternoon after finishing work at the office, Jonathan called Karin. He wanted to see the girl at his house. But her lover refused subtly. She said Rosa came to visit her. The man understood immediately. He said he'd call the girl back later tonight. Karin agreed and ended the conversation.

Rosa looked at the girl concerned. He knew his nephew was trying hard to hold back his crying so as not to be caught by the lover. Had Mr. Jon known what his wife had done to Karin, he would have been furious, the woman murmured inwardly. It was very curious that he told his former superior about the threat of Theresia to his nephew. But he tried to respect Karin's decision to accept the solution from the wife of the man he loved.

"Sunday didn't want to make matters worse, Auntie," she said when Rosa advised him to be frank with Jonathan. "Bu Theresia was right. Relationships based on infidelity will not last long. Social sanctions given by the community are very heavy. Karin has no problem being denounced or ostracized. But it was not until my heart felt to see Mas Jonathan and our son bear it. The best way is for Karin to retreat, Auntie. Let Jon be reunited with his wife. Karin believes they will raise Karin's son well...."

"But..," sela Rosa was dissatisfied. "How did you leave Mr. Jon? Aunty can see that she really loves you with all her heart."

The nephew forced himself to smile. "So we have a plan, Auntie. But the plan can only be accomplished with the support of Aunt and someone." the girl answered enigmaticly.

"Who's that guy, Karin?" asked the woman in front of him curiously. His facial expression showed worry.

The girl asked replied briefly, "Tante will soon find out. Karin's gonna call him now."

Then he grabbed his bag lying on the table. Open the front pocket. Inside was a white business card. He took out the card and called the phone number.

After a few lines were heard, suddenly the voice of a young man greeted kindly, "Hello?"

Karin said calmly, "Hello, Eric. It's Karin. Can we meet?"

***

Eric promised to come to Karin's house that night. Karin who felt bad invited him to meet outside. But the young man said that the girl should not go anywhere because she was pregnant young. Karin was surprised. How did she know I was pregnant? ask in the heart.

"Today must have a good reason why you want to break up from Mas Jon, Aunt. We have never been in such a serious problem. Jon would have suspected that Karin had suddenly asked to break up."

"But why Eric, Rin?" ask the tant, he doesn't understand. "Can he be trusted? He betrayed you once, son."

"That's exactly it, Auntie. It's time Eric made amends to Karin. He must be willing to help. Believe this. Aunty need not worry. Oya, it's afternoon. Didn't Auntie go back to the office to pick up Om Bernard? He must have wondered how long Aunt left him. Hehe...."

"Sarin, Karin..," said Rosa pity. "Faced with problems like this you can still joke, son."

The nephew smiled bitterly. "Already, Aunt. Don't think too much. Everything's gonna be fine. Believe me..," he said firmly while hugging the woman he loved so much.

My good niece, the inner Rosa Pilu. It's too bad your fate. Just because of blind love, your life is so spoiled like this. May God protect you, son.

At eight o'clock in the evening, a car stopped in front of Karin's house. The girl immediately went outside the house to welcome the arrival of the person she was waiting for. To his surprise he saw Eric get out of the car with a woman he knew so well.

"Mbak Mina." said Karin. How do these two people know each other? thought confused. His heart was increasingly wondering when he saw his former lover holding a friendly hand Mina.

"Day, Rin!" mina surprised the lady of the house. "When do you stand there? Are we not welcome to enter?"

Karin jerks. He then rushed to open the lock of the gate with the key he carried. With a trembling voice he invited his two guests in.

"Here, let me help you lock the fence, Rin. You just go in with Mina," said Eric offering his good intentions. The lady of the house thanked me. He handed the lock with the key to the young man. He was taken by Mina and walked into the house.

Arriving in the living room, Mina immediately threw her synthetic body on the sofa. Karin offered him to drink the glass mineral water available on the table. The guest shook his head. He asked Karin.

"Still nauseous and vomiting, Ma'am," replied Karin weakly. "It turns out pregnant is not as beautiful as it is told in the movies, yes. Hepi keeps the pregnant one."

Mina laughed out loud. Suddenly Eric appears who returns the lock of the fence to the lady of the house. The young man sat down next to Mina. Embrace the woman's shoulder is friendly.

"Actually I've been dating Mina for two months now, Rin" explained the young man with sparkling eyes. "I just found out that he's one of the owners of Mr. Jonathan's property marketing office. Because he found Mr. Jon's business card in my wallet, then he said if he was good friends with you, Mr. Jon, and Mr. Bastian. I didn't know from the beginning I wasn't exactly the same. I love to play with secrets, this guy."
