22 Reyno's Speech

"Father, Reyno! What are you doing?" said Cantika as pleasantries. Even though she had been following Reyno ever since he left the house.

Bramantio and Reyno were shocked when they saw Cantika who suddenly came in front of them. They both looked up at each other questioningly. Where did Cantika find out about today's meeting?

"Dear! How come you are here?" Reyno asked suspiciously.

"I met up with my friends, Dear. The place is here, how come it's the same, huh," said Cantika in a spoiled tone. She's a bit clever at making excuses.

"You met, Dad? How come you didn't tell me? She said how did you meet your friend," Cantika quipped to Reyno as she sat in a chair near her husband.

"Hmm, yes, I indeed met my friend, but I accidentally met father here," said Reyno, who occasionally glanced at Bramantio trying to hide his conversation today.

Until finally Bramantio and Reyno's conversation had to stop because of Cantika. Looks like they have to rearrange the meeting schedule again to straighten this out.

Today Reyno was quite surprised by Bramantio's statement, he didn't think that Sabrina would have to suffer for 3 years because of his actions.

Reyno was one of the people who paved the way for Sabrina's suffering. Starting from breaking the relationship unilaterally without feeling sorry for her, marrying her step-sister, and even making Sabrina locked up in a cell of iron bars with a mistake she never made.

His thoughts and feelings are getting worse when he is haunted by his guilt toward Sabrina. Especially after he found out that until this moment his family did not know where Sabrina was.

He tries to find information from his friends to find the whereabouts of the person he has ruined his life.

However, the result is always nil. None of his acquaintances knew of Sabrina's whereabouts.

This triggers Cantika's emotions when she finds out that the husband she loves so much is struggling to find her ex-lover.

"What do you mean, Dear? I heard it myself from your conversation on the phone with your friend. So it's true that you're looking for Sabrina?" Cantika growled at Reyno full of emotion as she raised her voice.

"What are you doing Ren? You still love him!" continued Cantika while rolling her eyes to describe the emotions that were overflowing in her feelings.

"No. I'm just helping Dad. Poor Dad, he's always sad to remember your sister's whereabouts," said Reyno gently and tried to grab Cantika's hand.

Cantika threw Reyno's hand away and turned her face away. Immediately Reyno hugged him from behind and tried to neutralize his wife's feelings.

"I love you very much. You are the only woman on my mind," Reyno cooed right near Cantika's earlobe.

Again, Reyno always managed to melt Cantika's feelings.

Her great love for Reyno always extinguished the emotions that burned in Cantika's heart.

Without thinking about Cantika's feelings, Reyno promised in his heart that he would atone for all his mistakes to Sabrina. The seeds of love for Sabrina are always stored deep in his heart. Reyno is well aware that he loves two women at once, namely the sisters, Cantika and Sabrina.

While Bramantio is still in the same condition, the same feeling, worrying about his only biological daughter who doesn't know where she is, healthy or sick, these feelings continue to swirl in Bramantio's mind.

Suddenly there was a notification sound on Bramantio's cellphone screen, he hurriedly opened the green message application on his cellphone screen.

[Dad, tomorrow we meet at Suropati park at 7 pm. Please Dad don't reply to this message and delete it immediately. I will immediately delete this message so that Cantika doesn't know about our plans.] The message that Reyno sent to his father-in-law, Bramantio.

Bramantio hastily deleted the incoming message from his son-in-law, Reyno.

Seeing the message from Reyno, it was as if there was a bright spot that Bramantio began to feel.

And arriving on the day that Bramantio had been waiting for, he occasionally glanced at the round silver object on his left arm, the time was 18.30 and he seemed to be impatiently waiting for Reyno's arrival.

He was ready to sit alone in the garden of suropati in a white iron chair, the same chair that had sat side by side with Sabrina before Sabrina fell into the pit of pain. Now and then her eyes glaze over when he remembers her daughter's whereabouts now.

Finally, what he had been waiting for arrived at the location, Reyno said hello, grabbed and kissed the back of his hand as a habit of respecting his father-in-law.

"Ren, does Cantika not know you went here?" Bramantio asked Reyno, making sure that yesterday's incident did not happen again.

"No, Dad. Cantika hasn't come home from the salon today, she went with mom to the mall this afternoon and she's still at the salon today," said Reyno in a flat tone.

"So what, Ren? You can already explain our conversation yesterday which was cut short," said Bramantio to Reyno.

"Yes, Dad. That's why I invited Father to meet here," Reyno replied.

"At that time, I was wrong. On the way back to the office after lunch I saw a red car with a police number which I knew belonged to Sabrina," Reyno continued.

"So what's going on!" Bramantio is getting more enthusiastic.

"I tried to chase the car, I just wanted to talk because I have something to say, I kept pulling the gas pedal on my motorbike but Sabrina's car also wouldn't stop and the speed was getting faster. It turned out that the car was not Sabrina who was driving it, but another woman who was not very clearly seen and the accident happened until I didn't know anything," said Reyno explaining the actual chronology.

Hearing Reyno's words, Bramantio immediately lowered his head and began to see clear grains falling unstoppably on the middle-aged man's cheeks. He was no longer able to hold back his tears, it turned out to be true what Sabrina had explained 3 years ago. she is not guilty. He tried to gently wipe his face which was already wet with tears.

"Indeed, what interests do you want to discuss with Sabrina, Ren? To the extent that you are desperate to chase on the dangerous highway," Bramantio whispered with an increasingly sad face.

"I'm sorry, Dad. I have hurt your heart," said Reyno.

"Hurt what does that mean, Ren?" reply Bramantio

"To be honest, when I proposed to Cantika, I just broke up with Sabrina for a week," Reyno explained as he lowered his head because he couldn't hold back his guilt towards Bramantio.

"What?" Bramantio was surprised to hear Reyno's explanation.

''My daughter Sabrina, you are very unfortunate. You are willing to let go of the person you love for the sake of your step-sister,'' Bramantio thought more and more furiously.

"Cantika said that she had been in a relationship for 5 months before you finally got married!" Bramantio started to raise his voice slightly.

"Yes, Father. I'm sorry. I betrayed Sabrina's love and had an affair with Cantika. I didn't know that Cantika was Sabrina's sister," Reyno replied as he grabbed Bramantio's hands again.

"Enough, enough, Ren! I don't want to hear what you say anymore. I hope Cantika doesn't find out about this, this will hurt her feelings a lot." With his lips trembling against the wound, Baramantio threw Reyno's hands away.

"You've hurt Father's two daughters at once, Ren!" With a very sad heart, Bramantio stood occasionally rubbing his face roughly which was already wet with the water that kept flowing from his eyeballs.

"I'm sorry, Father. I will make amends for me," Reyno whispered, trying to pull Bramantio's hand so he wouldn't leave immediately.

"Enough, Ren. No need! You take care of your wife, don't you repeat your mistakes!" Bramantio threw Reyno's hand away and walked away, away from his seat with the man who had been his son-in-law for 3 years.

Bramantio returned to his residence carrying a million wounds in his heart, how painful it was to remember that his daughter who had a noble heart had fallen into a pit of suffering that so tortured his soul and body.
