Chapter 379 - Unknown Man

The next day, the sun greeted Jakarta with its warm rays. The light emitted from the morning sun hits every window of the house, including the one in Lisa's room.

The sunlight fell right on her smooth face and gently woke her up. Not long after, she immediately got out of bed and checked the living room, looking for Rangga, but the man was nowhere to be seen. Then she entered Bella's room, but it was also empty.

She wondered, where did the man with black curly hair go so early? There's no way Rangga left without a message, she thought. But it turned out that Rangga was helping Kumala prepare breakfast for the three of them.

"Good morning, Lisa! Come on, let's have breakfast. We'll have chicken porridge today," Rangga said cheerfully.

The three then ate breakfast together, accompanied by laughter and small talk about pregnancy and family. 

After breakfast, Rangga and Lisa decided to go home early because Rangga had to go to his office. The man said goodbye to Kumala, embraced her and waved his hand.

Kumala opened the front door and escorted the new couple. What a coincidence, their neighbors were gathering at the front post of Kumala's house. This was a great opportunity for Lisa to prove that she had a 'husband' in front of them.

When Rangga and Lisa walked over to the car, the man deliberately embraced Lisa's hips so that all the neighbors saw them. Rangga helped open the door for Lisa and led her inside. 

His Mercedes then sped away from Kumala's house at a lightning speed, making the gossipy neighbors immediately shocked. Some of them were furious because Kumala's words were true.

Kumala deliberately stood at the door until the car gradually disappeared from her sight. She waved her hand confidently. Without realizing it, Widiatri, one of the neighbors, came over to Kumala and said, "Hey, is that tall, cute guy Lisa's husband? Impossible. Must be her friend at best," 

Although Rangga is not as handsome as Oscar, the man with curly hair is still considered handsome. His face is even similar to a famous actor, definitely above average. Not to mention the casual yet elegant way he dressed, it's certain that he looks like a rich man in the eyes of ordinary people!

"Friend? Hah, no! That guy is Lisa's husband, my son-in-law! You didn't believe it when I told you that Lisa has a husband, and he's a big boss showered in money!" Kumala said in a humble and confident tone.

"Wow, I did not think that Lisa could have such a husband! This is good then, your family must be proud to have a son-in-law like that one earlier!" Widiatri quipped, feeling envious of Kumala.

Kumala wasn't even angry at Widiatri's insinuation. In fact, she felt that she was victorious over it. "That's why you shouldn't gossip about others! Do you think that my daughter can't get a rich husband? Do you think just because my daughter comes from a middle class family and has a rich husband she's automatically a mistress? Of course not! So watch your mouth next time!"

"Oh my God, calm down. You don't have to take my words seriously. At that time, there was a misunderstanding of course. Sorry for it. I hope your luck will always come your way, Kumala!" Widiatri replied, feeling embarrassed that she had accused Lisa of being an immoral woman at that time.

Kumala walked straight into the house proud and triumphant. Finally, the annoying neighbors stopped bullying her. Kumala could breathe easy tonight.

Meanwhile outside, at the security post, her neighbors shouted at each other. They were all surprised, amazed, and stunned by the fact that Lisa had a husband.

"Wow, I really don't think someone like Lisa can get a rich husband like the one before!" Linda exclaimed.

"Not only rich, he's also handsome!" Widiatri added, blushing.

"Well, I hope her husband takes care of her family well. It's useless if he's rich and handsome but irresponsible, right?" Mevira said while pursing her lips.

Two hours later, Lisa finally arrived at Rangga's house. The man then went straight to his office after he dropped her. Today would be the most tiring day for him because he had to work overtime until 9 pm!

Time continued to pass until it didn't feel like the clock had shown 9 pm. Rangga was getting ready to go back home. He cleaned up all the files that were scattered on his desk and his cellphone suddenly rang several times.

Rangga looked at the screen of his cellphone, an unknown number. The man ignored the call several times until finally on the same call, he tried to pick it up.

No answer from the other side, so it must be a prank or something, he thought. So he returned to tidying up his desk.

After cleaning up, Rangga immediately came out of the office building and a man called him from behind. "Are you Lisa Soewandi's boyfriend?"

Hearing this mysterious voice, Rangga immediately turned his body quickly and put up a stance to fight. He couldn't clearly see the man standing behind him. His figure was vague because he was covered by a black hooded jacket. 

"Hey who are you !?" Rangga asked fiercely. He was ready to beat up the mysterious man if he made a sudden movement.

"My name is not important. But I want to know more about someone who likes to use used goods like you!" The mysterious man replied sharply.

"Used goods? What do you mean? Speak clearly, motherfucker! Do you underestimate me?" Rangga snapped, getting annoyed.

"Underestimate you? Of course you are so lowly, you want to date a lowly woman like Lisa!" The mysterious man replied. The atmosphere was getting increasingly tense.

What he just uttered clearly burned Rangga's anger. Without thinking about it, Rangga launched his fist and landed it right on his opponent's face.

The mysterious man spat out the blood flowing from his lips which were torn from Rangga's heavy blow. He paused for a moment before finally saying, "Please, beat me as you like, but think about it... Reflect on yourself. I see you are an established man with quite a lot of wealth, but why are you still chasing Lisa? Don't you love your reputation? I've been following you two and I see it seems you really really love her. Do you want to live with her until the end of your life?"

"Hey, listen, it's not your business whom I want to be with! You better take your rotten talk again!" Rangga exclaimed while launching his umpteenth fist.

"Look at you, you are so young and promising. There are still hundreds, maybe millions of women who are far more beautiful and dignified, but why did you choose Lisa instead?" The mysterious man spat out the blood from his mouth again.

"I told you to stop talking smack about Lisa!"

"Are you sure you want to marry her so quickly? I even doubt if she really loves you. Is the child she is carrying is your flesh and blood? I don't think so."

The mysterious man then looked at Rangga with a sharp gaze. Although Rangga could not see him clearly, he could feel the unpleasant aura emitted from the other side.

"You think you know everything about her? Just so you know, I am the first and only man ever to appear in her life! If you don't believe me, you can see a scar on her inner thigh, as well as a mole on her hip!" The mysterious man said, pointing to his inner thigh.

"Bastard! Get out of my way! Go away!" Rangga pushed the mysterious man until both of them fell on the ground. The man then tried to run away and said, "Remember what I said just now! The scar on her thigh and the mole on her hip!"
