Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO’s Plaything

The sky was getting dark and dim when Rangga's car arrived in front of Kumala's house. Unfortunately, the neighbors have returned to their homes. None of them seemed to be hanging out in their favorite place near the security post. It's a shame though, Lisa wants to shut their mouth by showing Rangga to their face!

She realizes that the baby in her womb doesn't belong to Rangga, or the fact that she wants to use him as a shield so that the neighbors won't bully her mom again. However, as long as Rangga loves her with all his heart, Lisa won't feel like she uses Rangga for her own gain. Besides, she wanted to know how long it would take for her to fall in love with him.

Rangga embraced Lisa's hips while leading her to the front gate. He encouraged her not to be afraid to knock on the door. "Lis, I'm here with you, so just calm down."

Lisa nodded, and as she mustered up her courage, she knocked on the gate and someone came out of the house, peering.

Bella found the figure of her older sister standing in front of the gate while Rangga embraced her with a surprised look. "Lisa!? Brother Rangg !? Why are you guys here… "

Her eyes landed on Lisa's bulging stomach. How shocked and dumbfounded she was to see her sister!

"Bella, I want to meet mom," Lisa said and they entered.

Hearing the sound of footsteps in the living room, Kumala, who had been relaxing in the room, immediately came out and peeked at Lisa and Rangga. At first, when her gaze met with her elder daughter's eyes, her facial expression looked flat and uninterested. But when her eyes fell on the tall, thin figure who was leading Lisa, she immediately became happy.

"Rangga? Why didn't you tell auntie that you came here?" Kumala said cheerfully without greeting Lisa.

Rangga immediately handed over two shopping bags to her while saying, "Lisa and I are here to meet you, and we have important news..." His voice was soft and polite. He smiled her signature sweet smile at Kumala.

Hearing Rangga's last sentence, Kumala was immediately stunned, her tongue almost frozen. "You ..."

"Mother," Lisa said spontaneously. "We are dating now. Rangga is your future son-in-law. "

Kumala looked at Lisa in confusion. No, actually between confused and happy. How could she not be surprised to hear the good news? She was obviously speechless. The middle-aged woman only reacted by smiling happily.

Next to her, Bella looked sour and disbelieving after hearing Lisa's confession just now. It felt like a sharp knife stabbed right into her heart.

Although she had long forgotten about Rangga, hearing the news that Lisa was dating him made her whole body tremble in fury! Her face suddenly looked dark, her legs felt helplessly limp, and her heart was beating very fast.

Seeing Rangga embracing her sister's hips with her own two eyes made Bella uneasy and angry.

On the other hand, Kumala was very happy that Lisa was dating Rangga now. The two had known each other since childhood. Kumala also knew Rangga's nature and behavior so she calmed down to hear that Lisa was finally with him.

"Rangga, don't rush home yet, okay? Auntie will make you tea first."

"Oh, please don't bother, auntie. Ah, I have this little gift for you, please check it before making tea," Rangga said, handing Kumala two bags of groceries.

Kumala grabbed the bags and said, "Ouch son, what are these? You don't need to buy expensive stuff. I'm already glad that you want to visit me here,"

"Eh, it's okay, auntie, this gift is nothing. That's a sign of my gratitude for letting me date Lisa," Rangga said, glancing at Lisa.

On the other side of the room, Bella looked at them with gloomy eyes. Her anger rose up especially when she saw Rangga and Lisa who eventually became lovers. She had not seen Lisa and exchanged news with her for a long time. But once they met, she showed her this. How could Bella not be furious to see her sister date the man she used to love so much!?

Bella clasped her palms tightly, trying to hold back her jealousy. She looked at the new couple closely, frowning. Her heart hurt a lot, jealousy clearly numbed her senses. If she had the chance to beat her sister up, maybe she would do it right away.

"I'm sorry, it's been a long time since I last visited you, auntie. I've been very busy at the office lately. It just so happens that Lisa and I have the time today so I took the time to stop by. So how are you, auntie?" Rangga made small talk to break the awkwardness.

"I'm fine, son. I diligently take my medicine that Lisa bought, so my health is getting better." Kumala started to soften when she saw Lisa and Rangga together.

"Ah, thank God. I'm glad to hear that," Rangga replied.

"Mom, you haven't seen the contents of that shopping bag. Let's take a look, maybe you like it," Lisa added pleasantly.

"I don't need to look. Anyway, if it's a gift from Rangga, I will like it," Kumala replied firmly.

"Just try, mom. You haven't seen it yet," Lisa insisted. She pushed her mother into the room to try on the new clothes that Rangga bought her.

The two were involved in a cold war that they didn't speak to each other at all, but today, Lisa could finally see that Kumala began to soften. She tried to soften her mother's heart by showering her with compliments and gifts.

"Wow, this is such a nice dress! You must look really beautiful if you wear this to parties!" Lisa praised, trying to win back her mother's favor.

"I haven't had the chance to wear the dress Oscar was buying at that time, why did you buy me more clothes? Geez, don't you guys feel it's a waste?" Kumala accidentally said this while mentioning Oscar's name.

Lisa's expression suddenly became gloomy when she heard the name coming out of her mother's lips.

When Kumala saw Lisa's face turning black, she realized her mistake and stopped mentioning Oscar's name in front of her eldest daughter.

"Lisa, I'm sorry, but I want to ask, do you really love Rangga? You didn't specifically use him as a shield to protect me from what the neighbors said, right?"

Lisa lifted her head then looked at Kumala from the mirror. "Really, I really love Rangga. I actually went out with Rangga."

Kumala's face looked cheerful when she heard her daughter's answer just now. "Thank God, because I see that Rangga suits you better than Oscar. You and him have known each other since you were little. Besides, Oscar came from another country. It must be really difficult to adjust our habits to him, right?"

In return, Lisa nodded and said, "You don't need to worry, mom. I can think coldly and realistically now. I shouldn't expect more from Oscar who is clearly far above my level. I don't want to look like a beggar,"

"Then, is the child you are carrying right now belongs to Rangga?" Kumala took off the dress she was trying on and put it on the hanger, looking at Lisa with a serious gaze.

Hearing her mother's question, Lisa was upset and confused about what to answer. Although she and Rangga were lovers, she did not intend to hide the fact that the child she was carrying was Oscar's flesh and blood.

"Mom, we better not talk about this child now. Think of this child as a gift from God and Rangga is willing to take care of it wholeheartedly.. You don't have to worry."
