Dear Mr Dev's Wife
Call on Marriage

Not only was Aleena surprised. Even their maid and Dev who were there were shocked without being able to say anything.

Aleena turned away in disbelief at what she had just heard. He tried to hold on with all his might so as not to lose consciousness and be able to get an explanation from the father.

"W-what does Papa mean by an illegitimate child?".

"No, Aleen. Don't listen to Papa. Papa is just emotional. You better go back to your room"

Ms. Dona tried to persuade Aleena not to listen to what her father said.

"No, Mah. I want to hear an explanation directly from Papa. What did Papa say? It's impossible if you just talk, right? Let's tell me, Pah"

Aleen continued to ask despite the unstoppable roar of tears. He looked extremely fragile and helpless at this moment.

Dev who saw Aleen's state was eager to pull him into his arms, but if he did that then it was certain that things would be even more difficult for Aleen.

"No Aleen. Mama's gonna talk to Papa. Come on Pah, we need to talk alone!".

Ms. Dona tried to pull the husband's hand but was even pushed aside.

"Let Mah. Let him know that he's not really our son. She's just an obscure child whose origins my papa brought from the streets after killing the biological mother who gave birth to her. I don't know who his father is and where he came from! We don't know what he's like"

Aleen's tears continued to flow profusely hearing the words of the person he had always believed to be his own biological father. The pain from the wounds on Aleen's body from the blow from the father was not even more painful than his current one.

"Non, don't listen to me, sir. What the master said was not true. Miss is not an illegitimate child whose origins are unclear".

The maid tried to comfort Aleen from his father's words and hugged him tightly.

"Did Auntie know something? What Papa said isn't true, is it, Bi? How could Papa say such extremely painful words? Hix.. Hix... Hicks..."

Aleena drooped weakly helplessly because of the father's words. His feet could no longer support the weight of his body.

Ms. Dona pulled her husband's hand back to listen to him.

"Why is Papa talking about it now? Don't we still need Aleena to replace Diana in an arranged marriage with the Handoko family?"

Ms. Dona immediately spoke to her husband in a soft voice so that no one would hear her.

"Leave it. Papa doesn't care anymore. This is the second time he has tarnished our good name. First at the Angga family party. He humiliated us in front of the Angga family and the guests who were there. Now he's humiliating us in front of the Handoko family's son. Everyone would laugh back at us if they knew that Aleena was with a random guy again. Where do we put our faces, Mah?! Better let him get out of this house! I no longer want to call her my daughter".

Mr. Bastian looks very angry. He spoke in a cold manner as he pointed at Aleen many times as he spoke.

Aleen who had been listening to his father's ravings had now started to react.

"Now that I understand, the reason you guys never thought I existed and always distinguished the affection between me and Diana, it must all be because of this, right? Because I'm not really part of this family, am I? Tell me the truth!".

Aleena who had been sitting on the floor since. Slowly start to stand up. He spoke in a cold and emotional manner.

"What's this about? Why are you guys fussing?".

"Diana, are you back?"

Ms. Dona greeted Diana warmly and went straight to her when she saw her daughter coming.

"What happened to the atmosphere in this house?".

Diana asked the mother in an innocent manner.

"This, Diana. Your brother went to see another man after he met Fandy Handoko. It could be back to smear our family's good name".

Ms. Dona explained a little to Diana about what was the cause of her father's anger.

"family? Have you ever considered me family? How can we be called a family when there is a wall that blocks our relationship? Look at this very clear difference. My body was covered in scars from being beaten with rattan, while Diana, there was not a single scar on her body. Not even a slap I've ever laid on her".

Aleena showed the scar on her leg from the blow she had always gotten from childhood.

"That's because you always let Papa down".

Bastian responded indifferently.

"Dismiss Papa? Even if I was 2nd in school and Diana was only in the top 10 at school, it was only me who let Papa down and ended up getting beaten up".

Dev and Angga who were there felt full of hearing Aleen's story. It was eager for them to hug Aleen and let him lean on their shoulders.

"Sister, why is Big Brother making such a fuss? Look here there is brother Angga and also brother friend Brother who noticed. Did Big Brother deliberately make this fuss in order to cancel the matchmaking and return to Brother Angga? Brother deliberately wants to make my good name ruined? Sis, please don't do that".

Diana admonished Aleen politely to stop talking.

Aleen who heard Diana's words smiled with a sneer as he only realized that Diana had never cared about him at all.

"Is that what you think of me? After what I've always done for you, you think I deliberately made this fuss to bring you down?".

"Aleena, don't you love Mama? If you love your mother and sister, then let Diana marry Angga. This time please give up for her".

Ms. Dona spoke up to support Diana by pleading with Aleen.

"Well, all this time I've been relenting to Diana. I gave it all mine. Every gift that my late grandfather gave me I always gave him because he wanted it. So is the attention and affection of mom and dad. When Diana makes a mistake then I will accept the punishment in her place. Do I also have to give you a man who has been my girlfriend for 3 years? Tell me, Mah. When should I sacrifice for Diana and give what I have for her?"

Aleena spoke on the sidelines of her sobs. He finally revealed his heart for many years.

The atmosphere of Bastian's house now feels bleak. Anyone who was there certainly could not imagine what Aleena had experienced since childhood.

Dev who had been silent since then could no longer hear any further what Aleena was going to say. Finally he approached Aleena with his powerful footsteps.

"Let them marry. In exchange, I will marry you. I make sure you get happiness that you have never received in this house. I'll give you whatever you want"
