On the other hand, Kumala didn't know anything about Bella who loves Rangga so badly. Her youngest daughter kept this a secret from her, letting her feelings toward the man grow in the dark. Even if Lisa had found out about it before, she never once told her mom about Bella's feelings towards Rangga in the past. So Kumala was really naive about the relationship between the three.
The atmosphere that enveloped the living room suddenly became gloomy and cold at once. Bella looked at Rangga who was sitting beside Lisa with eyes that radiated deep hatred and jealousy.
Seeing her younger sister's face that looked unhappy made Lisa feel bad. The atmosphere got even more awkward as there was no conversation between them.
Lisa got up from the sofa, deliberately not looking at Rangga and Bella then said, "I want to go outside for a while. You, just stay with Bella. "
Initially, Rangga wanted to accompany her, but when his eyes collided with Lisa's gaze that seemed to give him a code, he understood and obeyed her request. The man with black curly hair then nodded softly in return.
Shortly after Lisa left the house to buy something, Bella caught up with her from behind without Lisa noticing. And when she looked back, her younger sister's face was filled with anger and hatred towards her. Seeing Bella hurt made Lisa even more uncomfortable. She felt guilty for making Bella misunderstood.
How could she not? Lisa promised Bella that she and Rangga would never become lovers. She even forbade Bella to have a relationship with Rangga.
Now Lisa broke her own promise to her younger sister, how come Bella not be angry and feel betrayed? Indeed, in her heart, Lisa didn't really love Rangga, but she was trying to build a love relationship with him in the hope that someday she could love her childhood friend.
Hearing the sound of accelerating steps behind her, Lisa immediately slowed her pace so that Bella could catch up. Finally, she stopped and Bella walked over to her. The street where the two of them met was dimly lit. She could not see Bella's face clearly but she could feel the fire of jealousy that was overflowing from inside her younger sister.
"Lis, what do you want to explain to me? Why are you with Rangga now?" Bella snapped at her older sister angrily. The gaze in her eyes was sharp, emitting a fire of rage burning with jealousy and a sense of betrayal.
Love is indeed the world's deadliest poison that man has ever known. Because of love, someone is willing to die and can even damage family bonds like Lisa and Bella today.
Lisa then answered quietly, "Bella, I didn't think you could be this angry with me. Okay, I admit I was wrong because I broke my promise to you at that time, but I don't really love Rangga!"
"So what do you want now? You never kept your words. I thought you were a good sister. You know how much I love Rangga, don't you? But you still have the heart to betray your own sister! What's in your brain?!" Bella began to lose control of her emotions, the jealous flames burning in her heart began to spread to all parts of her body.
Even though Lisa admitted that she didn't love Rangga until now, she was still Rangga's girlfriend. She felt very guilty for breaking her promise to Bella.
"Forgive me, I was really upset at first. I thought I wouldn't be able to be with Rangga. But life is too unpredictable, so I never thought that I would end up...."
Not finished with the sentence, Bella pushed Lisa until she almost fell.
"Enough! You are a damn hypocrite! You desperately tried to prevent me from getting with Rangga because you were a liar! You said you wanted the best for my future, but it turns out that you want to have Rangga all to yourself! I'm so stupid, I'm really naive, I thought you were a good sister! But I was wrong! You're just a whore! To make matters worse, you even got pregnant with a bastard's child and are taking the opportunity to get Rangga!"
"Bella! Me and Rangga are not like what you think! We..." Lisa wanted to explain everything to her sister but her tongue suddenly went out. She could not continue her words anymore.
"Why did you just shut up all of a sudden, huh? Oscar must be bored playing with you, that's why you are so proud to seduce Brother Rangga, right? You are slut! No wonder Oscar doesn't like you anymore. Girls like you are no different from prostitutes! Only blind boys want to be with you!" Bella was so furious that she could not hold back her sharp tongue from spewing vile words towards her big sister.
Lisa frowned when she heard the harsh and painful words escaping her younger sibling's lips. She knew that Bella could not hold back her emotions sometimes, but Lisa did not expect her younger sister to utter a word like 'slut' in front of her.
"Watch your mouth! I don't want to discuss my relationship with Oscar. What's clear now is that I'm going out with Rangga and you have to accept it!" Lisa put her index finger in front of Bella's nose with rage.
"Huh? Do you want to say that Rangga knew another man knocked you up but he still chose to stay with you? Do you want to say that you are not the right girl he deserves? What are you going to say now? Are you going to lie to my face and tell me you feel guilty?"
"I didn't mean that! You keep twisting my words!"
"Look, let me guess. You are currently pregnant with Oscar's child, right? How embarrassing! Do you sleep around with men and let them impregnate you? I think the reason Oscar doesn't want to be with you is because he finally knows your true nature!" Bella taunted.
"You done? Go back and don't bother me again!" Lisa no longer wants to fight with her younger sister. Let Bella think of her like an enemy while getting blinded by jealousy and anger.
After the fight, Lisa immediately turned her body back towards the house. At first he wanted to explain to his sister what really happened. But she dropped her intention, she thought it would be pointless to explain it to someone who was already consumed by jealousy like Bella.
Bella followed Lisa from behind, she still insisted on babbling, "Lisa, don't you dare to do anything with me! If not, I won't let you live in peace and tell Rangga that you're hypocritical and cunning!"
"Whatever! I'm not what you think anyway!" Lisa replied.
"Just watch! Rangga will find out about your rotten heart!"
"Okay, we'll see. I don't care though," Lisa replied, tired from arguing with her younger sister who was still burning with jealousy.
"You—" Bella was about to snap again, but she ran out of words. She didn't know what else she could spit on her older sister.
When the two of them arrived home, they saw Rangga wearing his jacket, getting ready to leave Kumala's house. The man with curly hair then put on a jacket on Lisa and embraced her tenderly.
"Let's just go back, okay?" Rangga gently said.
The scene that Bella witnessed at this time made her heart feel like it was being stabbed by hundreds of daggers. Her jealousy and hatred towards Lisa were getting bigger and bigger.
This, however, was an opportunity for Lisa to avoid Bella. She didn't want to make her sister even more angry and jealous, so she came out with the man and left the house. Moreover, she didn't want Kumala to know that she had a fight with her sister. Otherwise, her mother would end up in the ER again.
Meanwhile in the dining room, Kumala called everyone to get ready. But there was no reply as if the house was deserted. She sensed something was wrong.
The middle-aged woman then rushed into the living room and saw Lisa and Rangga who were about to leave the house. "Why don't you have dinner here, Rangga? Lisa? I've cooked some food! It's a shame if it's thrown away!"
"Uh, sorry auntie, but I don't think Lisa is feeling well, so we need to go back home," Rangga said, lying.
"Come on, eat here first. I know Lisa hasn't eaten yet, that's why she's feeling unwell!" Kumala insisted.
The couple had no other choice but to follow her invitation.. With a heavy heart, Rangga slightly lowered his head and said, "Fine then. Shall we eat now?"
