Bab 8: Accountable for actions
Moments ago, the atmosphere in Arabella's room was really hot when there was a big fight between Leonard who was half naked and Billy who looked very angry when he saw Arabella only wearing a towel up to her chest.
At first he wanted to ask for Arabella's cellphone number so that it would be easy to get in touch with the woman he had just met. However, all failed after seeing a male figure in Arabella's room, so when she knocked on the door and there was no answer, it made her feel suspicious.
At first he was about to leave because there was no answer, but a few moments later, hearing Arabella's faint screams, he immediately kicked open the door in concern. As a result, his actions attracted the attention of several local residents who immediately came to the rented house.
When he succeeded, he immediately gave a lesson to Leonard who also fought him, while several people who came, broke up the dispute between the two.
At this time, Arabella's rented house was filled with several people who witnessed the clash between the two men. Even without shame, Leonard still only used a waist-length towel showing his sixpack body and contacted his stepbrother to come immediately.
The battered faces between the two, showed that Leonard and Billy had not given up at all when they had attacked each other with blows blindly because they were both emotional.
Leonard wiped the blood from the corner of his left lip and glared at Billy in annoyance. "What's your real business interfering in my fun? We were having fun, but you suddenly screwed everything up."
"You son of a bitch! Shameless, put your clothes on, you bastard!" shouted Billy who felt very angry at a man who had no shame at all when he was caught doing crazy by the citizens.
Meanwhile, Arabella was in so much shock, because she was so ashamed of the neighbors, that she locked herself in the bathroom and didn't want to come out. Of course right now she was squatting on the floor and burying her face in sobs, because she had experienced the most humiliating thing in the history of her life.
"Why is my fate like this? I really don't have face in front of people anymore. I have to get out of here and find another place to live. Or I just go back to my hometown in Bali, so I don't meet psycho men that again," Arabella whispered in her heart.
While Arabella was busy crying, she heard the baritone voice of someone she knew very well. She was a man whom she admired and secretly loved. Hastily, she was busy wiping the clear tears that flowed down her face. Not only that, Arabella put her dirty clothes back on because it was impossible to leave the room with just a towel.
As she got dressed, she could see black cotton trousers and a white short-sleeved shirt next to them. She clenched her fists and grabbed the clothes, then stomped on them.
"Damn man! I now have no face in front of everyone because of a bastard like you!" Very angry, Arabella had made the clothes that were very slippery at first became very pathetic in the bathroom because they were wrinkled by her actions.
Dimly, Arabella overheard a conversation between Zaydan and some neighbors discussing the bad incident. However, her heart was beating very fast when she heard one of the most influential people who was the head of the RW was mentioning a way out.
"It's better to marry them immediately, so as not to embarrass the family," said the middle-aged man with slightly bleached hair.
Billy, who was confused, couldn't respond to the words from the head of the RW near Arabella's rented house because he couldn't even tell the woman who was still hiding in the bathroom out. He just chose silence and glared at Leonard's bruised face who just smirked at him.
A few moments later, Zaydan and Stevan arrived at Arabella's rented house. Right now, they were gathered in Arabella's room because Leonard was still very relaxed sitting on the poor woman's bed.
"You really are going too far, Leonard!" rebuked Stevan who had directed a sharp glare and intended to direct his punch, but Zaydan held his hand and he didn't hit his step sister.
"I'm going to talk to Leonard. Please all of you come out for a bit!" said Stevan to the neighbors who had been staring at his stepbrother's disrespectful appearance while not feeling ashamed of everyone.
Just as everyone was about to leave, Leonard got out of bed and let out his baritone voice. "There's nothing to talk about. I'll take responsibility for my actions. So don't take your advice, my brother. I'm going to marry the woman I love. You're satisfied, right? So, problem solved."
Everyone glanced at each other in turn and the voice of a woman who had just come out of the bathroom made them stare in that direction.
"I wouldn't go crazy marrying a psycho like you!" Arabella really couldn't take it anymore and couldn't stay still.
Leonard just laughed when he saw the wrath of the woman he hated so much. "You see, right? This woman really doesn't want to get married because she just wants to have a statusless relationship. Of course we made love consensual."
"Shut up, you bastard!" shouted Arabella with clenched fists. Even she, who couldn't hold herself back anymore, intended to slap the face of a man who had a handsome face, but it was very disgusting for her.
However, Arabella's hand was held by Zaydan who tried to calm his anger. "Arabella, don't do that! You have to think about your good name and self-respect. You'd better get married."
Arabella let go of the sturdy hand that was holding her wrist. The pain she felt was getting bigger when the man she secretly loved pushed her into the valley of suffering without thinking about her feelings.
"You have absolutely no right to rule my life! Mr Zaydan! I don't work with you anymore!"
Stevan feels very guilty to Arabella, for failing to protect the woman who has always lived a life of suffering after witnessing in court for the murder of Leonard. However, he felt very responsible and had to solve the problems his step brother.
"Arabella, I know you don't like my step brother, but it's all for your good. You two should get married. Leonard will change after marrying you. I'm sure of that."
The feeling of shattering that Arabella felt was even more pronounced when she heard an order from the man she had admired so much for her kindness. "Even you say that? I thought you would be much wiser than the others. I was wrong!"
"Gosh, if you don't want to, I'm very happy. For having enjoyed you and not bothering to take responsibility." Ignoring everyone, especially Arabella, Leonard walked into the bathroom to get back dressed.
However, as soon as he saw his pathetic clothes on the bathroom floor, he screamed very loudly.
"You cheap woman! Why did you make my clothes like this!"
Arabella just smiled mockingly when she felt so satisfied that she had managed to annoy Leonard. "What a disgusting bastard. It's just a shirt, but you're so angry like that. In fact you made me so much worse in front of everyone. It's nothing compared to your crimes!"
Arabella didn't continue her words when she heard a voice from her new neighbor. Even her face had turned pale.
"The person who is going to get married has arrived."
Stevan had already walked out to greet the man who was about to marry off his half-brother series to Arabella. However, he glanced at the woman who looked very pale.
"No matter what happens, you two have to get married. Leonard won't stop bothering you Arabella. It would be better if you legally become his wife and Leonard can be held accountable for his actions."
