Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 390 - You're Not My Sister Anymore

"Come on, I don't want to hear you talk anymore. If you don't have anything else to say, you better get out. Leave me alone, live your life and take care of your own problems." Lisa doesn't want to argue with her younger sister anymore. She did not care what Bella said even though it hurt her a lot to have heard such vile words from her own sister. 

It literally shattered her confidence to pieces.

Hearing Lisa's indifferent response and seemingly unaffected by her piercing words, Bella grew more furious as if she had lost a battle with her older sister. With fiery eyes, Bella stared at Lisa while gritting her teeth, as if she were dealing with a mortal enemy.

"Don't try to pretend in front of me! You actually prevented me from chasing Rangga on purpose because you wanted him to be yours, right!? You are really mean to your own sister!"

"For god sake, I really didn't want to go out with Rangga, I don't even really love him. But since my situation has become difficult and convoluted lately, I didn't think Rangga would... "

Not finished with her sentence, Bella interrupted, "Enough! I don't want to hear your excuses anymore. From now on you are not my sister! You are a wolf in sheep's clothing! Anyway, I won't give up until I get Rangga. I want to see him throw you away with my own eyes!"

Lisa took a deep breath, tired of all the chatter. "Well, I can't change your way of thinking. Whatever."

Seeing her older sister still calm and accepting the situation made Bella's anger boil. She clasped her palms, trying to calm herself. Her lips, a rosy pink color, were wrinkled in annoyance. Without saying much anymore, Bella turned her body to walk toward the exit as she was feeling defeated and upset.

"Bella! Wait!" Lisa suddenly shouted.

"What now, huh !?" Bella replied curtly without looking at Lisa's face.

"Please don't tell Mother about this. I don't want to make her worry about my problems. She is old, the disease will recur if she learns about this," said Lisa softly with her head down.

"You don't have to say it because I already know, idiot!" Bella immediately came out without waiting for Lisa's response. She didn't pay attention to her steps so she accidentally bumped into Rangga in the corridor, almost colliding with him.

Rangga stared at Bella's face, who clearly looked unhappy and then asked, "Bella, are you okay?"

Bella looked up, stared at Rangga's handsome face then looked back down again. As she sighed, she said, "I'm okay...  Are you here to visit Sis Lisa?"

"Mrs. Sumiyati, my household assistant, is returning to her hometown, so it's my turn to take care of your sister," Rangga replied, showing Bella the lunch box he was holding.

Seeing the lunch box ignites Bella's anger further. Why could her older sister make a man like Rangga give her everything? How come Lisa deserves Rangga's attention and love like this? 

Bella thinks that she is much stronger and more dignified than Lisa. After all, Lisa is already widowed, so why does someone like her get to be loved by two great men!?

As soon as Bella thought about this, the anger in her heart was rising in an instant, ready to burst out. But she didn't want to show her jealousy in front of Rangga. 

"I see. I'll come back first then," Bella stepped out of the hospital without waiting for a response from Rangga. The man could only stare at her back suspiciously.

He felt something was off from Bella.

***

Not long after, Rangga handed over the lunch box he brought from the house to Lisa. "Lisa, come on let's eat already, I know you must be bored eating hospital food right? I think the doctor will let you eat this."

Lisa was still daydreaming, lost in the fight between her and her younger sister just now. She completely ignored Rangga, making the man even more suspicious and then said, "Lisa! Hello? Are you okay?"

Rangga snapped his fingers in front of her face, waking Lisa from her reverie. The woman then turned her head and looked at his face in surprise. "What? Where's Mrs. Sumiyati? Isn't it her turn to stay today?"

"Mrs. Sumiyati is returning to her hometown for two days, so it is my turn to accompany you," Rangga said while glancing ignorantly.

"Oh gosh... After all, what will you do with all these foods? I can buy it myself using the app, so I won't keep bothering you. What will you do next?"

In her heart, Lisa feels guilty because of the man. Rangga often skipped his work to accompany her at the hospital. Lisa can't imagine how many documents are piling up on the man's desk as a result of frequent absence.

Rangga raised an eyebrow, surprised by Lisa's question. "No problem! I'm the boss, so if I have time it means that my office is safe."

His kindness sometimes makes the woman feel like wandering above the clouds, and that every time she thinks so, his face becomes more handsome than before.

But what Lisa doesn't know is that Rangga always feels guilty because he let Aditya influence him when the man paid him a visit some time ago. Rangga then doubted his love and relationship with Lisa, and deliberately kept his distance from her.

Rangga even felt like he was also responsible for the death of Lisa's unborn child.  If he hadn't avoided Lisa at that time, the accident would never have happened.

The atmosphere in the room was suddenly silent and awkward. Lisa, who was sitting on her bed, was enjoying the dinner calmly and slowly.

"Have you eaten?" Lisa suddenly asked, breaking the silence.

"Yeah I have," Rangga answered briefly.

"What did you eat earlier? Just like the one you bought for me? This is delicious, you know!"

Rangga blushed at Lisa's praise. The man looked down while scratching the nape of his neck and said, "I made it myself, I stopped by the house for a while. So I thought you might like it. I will make it for you again if you want."

Lisa was surprised to hear his answer just now. She stopped eating then put down her spoon and looked at Rangga in awe. "Seriously!? A guy like you can cook?!?"

"Yes, of course. In the past my business went bankrupt but I still needed to eat, so like it or not I have to be able to cook for myself, right? Buying meals at the restaurant all the time is always expensive! Eating at the stall is also boring," Rangga said bluntly.

"Wow, you're crazy, you are an example of a modern, metropolitan guy who deserves to be a role model for boys!" Lisa praised, giving the curly hair man a thumbs up.

After eating, Rangga helped Lisa clean up her lunch box and cutlery. He handed a glass of water to her then suddenly said, "Lisa, I want to ask you. But feel free to refuse if my question is too resolved or makes you uncomfortable."

Lisa stared at the man for a long time before finally agreeing.

"Bella, I saw her...." Not finished with the question, Rangga's tongue suddenly came out.

"No, sorry but I don't think I have told you yet. I'll be honest but don't hold a grudge against Bella. This is all my fault. I prevented her from approaching you before I prevented you from approaching Bella. Her anger is justified, and you can blame me too. Because of this, my sister and I had a fight...." Lisa said bluntly while lowering her head and covering her sad face.

"Lis, you don't have to worry that I will blame or hate you and your younger sister. Even if you don't prevent me and Bella from dating, I still don't have any love for her. I already think of Bella like my own sister, so there's no way I will have a crush on her," Rangga replied firmly without hesitation.

Lisa didn't intend to tell him about this, but since she thought that she would become a family with Rangga one day, she didn't want to hide her story from the man.

"I trust you, but the problem is, Bella misunderstood me.. She thought I meant to prevent her from approaching you so that I could date you myself," Lisa added.
