Diana reflexively hid her expensive cellphone that she got from Beno. She would definitely get scolded if her family found out that her job was just to fleece men for their money. It wasn't just Novan but there was another man who would be her victim. She was afraid that Novan would find out what she had done.
After all, who wouldn't be angry if they found out the lover they loved to death was caught walking with someone else, even receiving an expensive gift? Who knows what Diana had given in return for the expensive gift that she definitely wouldn't have been able to get with one day's work.
But Diana didn't think about the feelings of her lover who was willing to do anything for her. Novan had never once said no to Diana's requests, even though the price was not cheap. Deni could already imagine how hurt Novan would be.
Deni actually had a girlfriend, but she wasn't as demanding as Diana. Even though Diana already had a boyfriend who treated her well, she was still cheating with another man. Deni and his parents were very scared because they knew that Novan's family still had a mystical aura.
"You're cheating on Novan, right, Diana?!" Deni accused directly.
"What are you talking about, brother? He and I are just friends," Diana dodged.
"Don't lie to me, that man must have bought you this phone, right?!" Deni snatched his sister's phone.
"Give me back my phone, brother!" Diana shrieked, suddenly angry.
"Oh my God, Diana! You really want to embarrass this family. Novan is already very good to you and now you have another boyfriend," Bu Hasnah shrieked, exasperated with her youngest daughter.
"As long as you guys don't tell him, he won't know!" Diana snapped back, angry instead of realizing her mistake.
"Slap!"
Angry, Deni smashed Diana's phone without thinking. If he let her continue, Diana would only get worse. Luckily, Ria wasn't there right now. If she were, she would definitely be compared to her sister, because Ria was truly an amazing person.
"Replace my phone! Do you even have any money to act like that and break my phone?" Diana grabbed Deni's collar.
"Who are you talking to? You think you haven't been eating my money all this time!" Deni snapped his sister's hand away.
"I don't care, just replace my phone!" Diana cried loudly.
Bu Hasnah quickly brought her daughter into the house so that the neighbors wouldn't hear. They already gossiped about Diana enough as it was, because of Diana asking for money from Novan, since they were only dating.
No one realized that Eca was hiding behind the banana tree, listening to everything. This girl was Diana's friend from school, so they had been friends for a long time. Eca had had a crush on Novan, who was very kind, for a long time, but unfortunately Novan didn't care about the beautiful girl's feelings.
"I'll tell Mas Novan about you, Diana! You ungrateful person, even though Mas Novan has been so good to you," Eca muttered to herself, annoyed.
Deni also didn't realize that someone was eavesdropping on their argument, so he immediately went inside to talk to his sister again.
"Eh, Eca, where are you going this late at night?" Pak Bujang, who had just returned from patrolling, met the girl.
"Um, sir! I'm just going to get some water," Eca made an excuse because she was carrying a bucket.
"It's late, get the water tomorrow," said Pak Bujang.
"Yes, sir! I'm going home now," Eca hurriedly left.
Pak Bujang also didn't know that Eca had just finished listening to his children's argument, so he immediately went into the house to rest. He was sleepy after patrolling and now it was someone else's turn to keep watch at the post.
...****************...
Novan enthusiastically lifted jumbo sacks filled with potatoes and some tomatoes. Today was harvest day and the results would be sold to the market to get money. It was not a small amount when the harvest was like this because the fruit was always big. Even though his land wasn't too big, there was always a lot of fruit. As the Javanese would say, he had a knack for farming, so whatever he planted would bear a lot of fruit.
When the harvest was like this, he would definitely not forget to give some to his girlfriend's family. Novan would give anything to Diana so that the girl would be more convinced that he was a good man to be her husband, but he didn't know about Diana's wicked behavior.
"Mas Novan!"
"Eh, Eca! What a coincidence you're here. Here, take some potatoes and tomatoes," Novan offered.
"No, I came here because there's something important I want to tell you." Eca refused because her news was hotter.
"What is it?" Novan stopped and looked at Eca's face, which was serious about delivering the news.
Eca suddenly became nervous because she was afraid that Novan wouldn't believe her because this man loved his girlfriend so much. He would think Eca was just slandering her based on the news she brought. However, Eca's heart tried to convince her that it was better to say it than to keep it to herself. Who knows, maybe Novan would believe her.
"Diana has another boyfriend besides you, Mas," Eca finally said.
"You came all the way here just to tell me this?!" Novan stared at Eca intently.
"I'm not lying, Mas! Last night Diana was arguing with Uda Deni about this new boyfriend of hers. He gave her an iPhone," Eca explained.
"I don't know what problem you have with Diana, Eca! But how could you be so cruel to your own friend?" Novan didn't believe her.
"I swear to God I heard it all, Mas! I'm not lying, and I'm telling you this because I feel sorry for you, being taken advantage of by Diana." Eca was starting to get emotional too.
"That's my own money! I don't have a problem with it, so why are you so concerned?" Novan was furious.
As Eca had expected, Novan was angry and didn't believe her. If only she had recorded the sound of Deni and Diana's argument that night, maybe Novan would believe her.
