Stains In Love
Rejecting Feby as a Son-in-law

A few minutes had passed and during that time Stella continued to let out her heart that was hurt by Garry and Feby–.

"If Feby had been honest with me if he liked Garry, I would not have had a relationship with Garry. Even he was very supportive of my relationship with Garry. I really didn't expect that in the end he was also the third person in my relationship with Garry. They were so good at theatrics in front of me that I was completely unaware of them, if I had not seen firsthand the betrayal they had committed." The same words Stella said repeatedly.

"Now it's all over. Although I realized my way might be wrong, but I also felt relieved when I managed to reply to them. I promised myself I wouldn't be a weak woman like Stella before. I'm gonna be a strong Stella. I will no longer be a fool for love" she said slowly stopping her crying.

Stella took a deep breath and exhaled before turning to Davin who was currently sitting next to her.

"This is the kind of woman I've met before. The woman I accidentally made my pawn!" Davin chuckled at saying so, deliberately trying to melt the atmosphere.

"Honest answer! Why are you here?" stella asked again in full search staring at Davin.

"I followed you because I didn't want you to be alone in a lonely place like this. Besides I also need a vacation and after knowing your destination, I think it's good to go with you" Davin smiled saying.

"You know everything?" ask Stella again.

The man looked back to the front, staring at the open ocean while nodding his head. "I know everything" he said.

"How can you?" Stella kept asking.

"After the night of our second meeting at the party, I found out all about you. You're my secretary, too, because of my wishes, to be honest, I'm the one who made it easier. Everyone," Davin replied honestly looking back at Stella.

The words of everything Davin said made Stella remember some of the events that Stella had previously felt a little awkward.

"Invitation?" the question was asked by Davin. "Photo?" ask Stella again who was again embraced by Davin.

"I told you, everyone!" said it.

"Why did you do all that? What's your excuse?" stella asked, beginning to feel uncomfortable with Davin's attitude, Stella stood to keep her distance from Davin.

Davin, who saw it, stood up, trying to touch Stella's hand, but Stella quickly dodged. "Listen to me, first, Stella. Don't misunderstand me!" said it.

"First because I think we know each other, because we're from the same town and because my parents and your parents are friends. Second because I care about you, I just want to make your business easier. I'm sorry if my attitude makes you feel uncomfortable, I promise after this I won't interfere too much in your affairs!" Davin tries to explain to Stella why.

"It wouldn't be so. That means you'll still be meddling in my business!" stella's accusation made Davin wrong.

"Easy! I am tired and want to rest. Please don't interrupt my vacation!" Stella hurried to leave Davin after saying that.

Davin just smiled at Stella's departure. Stella is the first girl to be so indifferent to her and it makes Stella's attraction even stronger according to her. "You know Stella. Only to you I've been telling you a lot of honesty. You're the first woman I've ever treated so special like this" Davin murmured.

The Garry family. Ane feels very guilty for what happened today, Ane feels bad for her husband and in-laws because Ane helped Stella in carrying out Stella's plan.

"Ma, Mum. Please forgive me. I'm sorry to embarrass you, too" Ane repeatedly apologized.

Yanti who saw her daughter-in-law feeling guilty, immediately approached her. "An, this isn't all your fault. Mama doesn't blame you at all because Mama understands your position. Stella's your sister and it's only natural that you're angry with Garry because we're angry with everything that Garry did to Stella. Stop blaming yourself for what happened" she gently hugged Ane, trying to calm Ane down.

"Which Mama says is right, dear. It's not all your fault. We feel guilty and deeply ashamed of your family for what happened. Garry is really a guy who doesn't know he's lucky. How could he betray Stella even more with Stella's own best friend?" sahut Damar helped calm his wife even though deep down he also felt ashamed of what happened today to his family.

"How's next? Everyone knows about Feby and Garry, and Feby's parents will hear all of this" Deo asked confusedly.

"Anything that is. I don't want Feby to be my son-in-law. I would never have wanted that woman to take Stella's place. I know Garry loves Stella so much, none of this would have happened if he hadn't been the one who teased Garry!" Yanti first expressed her objections.

"But, Ma. Garry has me–"

"There's no buts. My mother would not approve of their relationship. Even if her family asks Garry to marry her, mom still will not approve of their relationship. A relationship built on the basis of hurting other women's hearts, Mama doesn't want a daughter-in-law like that." Yanti refused loudly.

"Where's Garry now? Papa wants to hear all the explanations from him!" ask Deo to Damar.

"Garry must be looking for Stella. It was all for nothing because Stella had gone to calm herself down for what had happened" Ane replied slowly.
