The Sovereign of the Heart (Bern & Renata)

Chapter 9

Arriving at home, Renata immediately took Justin to the room. He laid her down very carefully and then covered her with affection. While tidying up Justin's hair, Renata's mind floated on his conversation with Bern. Honestly, there was a strange vibe that Renata felt every time she realized the moment the man noticed her. Whether it was real or not, there was a deep veil of longing as well as a deep sadness in the man's eyes. Renata.

Why am I feeling so sad? What was? Bern and I are strangers who have met for the first time, but why does it feel like I've been with him? What the hell's going on? Could it be that I have fallen in love at first sight?

"No way!"

Renata immediately dismissed his own thoughts. "There's no way I'm in love with Bern. What's crazy?"

"What's crazy, Ren?"

Nandira who had just entered the room seemed to frown when she accidentally heard Renata's words. Soon he approached to ask for an explanation from his daughter.

"Ren, what's crazy?"

"Ummm, there's nothing, Mother." Renata took a long breath. She looked at her mother, trying to be honest about what was happening in the mall. "So when Justin and I finished watching, a man suddenly came up to me. He then insisted on telling her my name. At first I refused. I'm afraid it's one of the modes of crime, let alone if we don't know each other. But after she told me the reason why I wanted to know my name so much, I finally told her my name and also Justin's name. I don't have any heart for him, Mom. The man said my face was very similar to his girlfriend's. That's why he pushed me to such an extent!"

Nandira's eyebrows clutched together after hearing her daughter's words. How strange. All the time he took care of Renata, only once there are people who mention that there is another woman whose face is similar to the face of her daughter. Really am.

Is it possible that the man's lover is Renata's twin brother who lives with Kendra? But isn't that girl dead?

Another secret in the Goh family. Due to a business accident, doctors told Nandira that she could not have children. But because Max loves her so much, Max refuses when asked to divorce her. And at the same time a woman died after giving birth to a pair of twin daughters. Nandira, who was just about to be taken out of the hospital, suddenly shouted hysterically when she heard the sound of baby crying. At the same time a nurse approached Max and whispered that a family wanted to give them a baby girl. In order for Nandira not to be depressed after receiving a doctor's verdict, without thinking Max immediately went to see the family, which turned out to be the family of Kendra Shin. After that they immediately take care of all the adoption papers and then move abroad. After years have passed, Max and Nandira are forced to return to the country after their families die in a plane crash. Because Renata was in the middle of an exam, she was forced to stay abroad alone to complete her education. Until the fateful incident occurred where Renata had an accident that made his car mired into the river to make Renata lost his memory. And yes, this is how it is now. Giving birth to a child without a husband. Nor can it remember who the man who had impregnated him. However, Max and Nandira still love Renata. Moreover, now there is Justin as solace. So the three of them no longer worry about who the father of the boy who is a month away just three years old. As long as I can see Justin growing up healthy, that's more than enough.

"The man's name is Bern, ma'am. Bern Wufien Ma," Renata said, feeling a strong chest pounding as he mentioned Bern's full name.

"Bern Ma Wufien? This name is like no stranger" murmured Nandira. He then stomped on the edges of the head, trying to remember which family clan the man was wearing.

Bern Wufien Ma, Bern Wufien Ma. Karl Wufien Ma, Gabrielle Shaquille Ma. Jeez ....

Renata was shocked when the mother suddenly shrieked loudly while shutting her mouth. Immediately he patted the thigh of Justin who woke up in shock.

"Mom, why are you shouting so strongly. Justin is awake, right?" reprimand Renata half whispered.

"Oh, jeez. I'm sorry, dear. Mother was too shocked to forget that Justin was sleeping," said Nandira who just realized the existence of Justin. Immediately he took Renata away after his grandson fell asleep again. "Ren, you didn't mention the man wrong, did you?"

Renata's eyebrows intertwined to hear the mother's question. He felt strange seeing her reaction.

"Yes right. Bern Wufien Ma, that's what he said" Renata said, nodding his head. "Why is that, Mom? You know this guy?"

"Of course I'm very familiar, Renata. Otherwise this Bern is the eldest son of the Ma family. That's what he said their family wealth had been passed down from the Ming Dynasty era. You've heard of their families, haven't you?"

"That's the mother of her son Mr Gabrielle and Mrs Elea?"

"That's right," Nandira said as she flicked her finger.

"Then what's the problem?" ask Renata. "Bern thought I was his girlfriend. Why is Mom's reaction this crazy? What's wrong?"

Nandira laughed at Renata's words. He could not believe his daughter could still be mediocre after being greeted by a man from a wealthy family. While scratching his hair, Nandira explains to his daughter that it is a fortune if it is true that the man is the father of his granddaughter.

"Ren, did you think Justin was Bern's son? You can't remember who the man who made you pregnant. It could be while still abroad you are in a relationship that is not known by Father and Mother. Because from what I know, Mr. Gabrielle's eldest son has lived abroad for several years. Can you guys get to know each other?" nandira said excitedly. "Renata, listen to Mom's words well. For the last few days Justin kept asking about his father. And most likely it is a sign that you will soon meet. If Mom's guess is right, then you and Justin will be the luckiest people on earth because they can be part of the Ma family. They're incredibly influential in this country, baby. Really!"

"Mom, don't conclude too soon. Our meeting could have been just a coincidence. It's also impossible for me and Bern to be in a relationship. It was my own mother who said that I never had a lover," said Renata rather strange to hear the allegations made by the mother. His heart rippled, but did not know why.

"Would you try to do a DNA test?"

Both of Renata's eyes were closed. Really, this time he really did not understand why his mother could think of doing a DNA test between Justin and a man who had just met him once.

"Don't get mad. I know it's a little late, but what's wrong if you try. Poor Justin, Ren. You should also think about his mental state. Yea?" talk to Nandira gently.

"Is it because Bern is part of the Ma family?"

"No, honey."

"Then?"

"Because I want to see you two have a complete family. You have a husband, and Justin has a father figure. Even if Justin's father is an ordinary man, Mom and Dad will still accept him with open arms. It's not about treasure, son. You can understand, right?"

Should I do it? But Bern ....
