The two did not pay attention to Lisa at all. There wasn't a sign that the fire of jealousy that burned them would extinguish soon. These two wouldn't stop going on rampage if one of them weren't pulled aside. 

With all her courage, Lisa took a step and grabbed Rangga's arm so Oscar wouldn't beat him further.

Seeing Lisa pulling Rangga away from him, the blonde haired man stopped his fist that he was going to throw at Rangga. Seriously, if Lisa hadn't prevented him, Rangga would have passed out right now.

Oscar's blonde curls looked messy while his handsome face was covered in blood. The aura that enveloped him suddenly became terrifying, like a hungry tiger ready to pounce on prey.

Compared to him, Rangga looked even more pitiful. His whole body was covered in dirt. One of his eyes was swollen from Oscar's hard fist. His nose was overflowing with fresh blood.

"Oscar, stop! You guys are like kids just playing fist fights!" Lisa snapped, looking irritated. She still held Rangga's hand as the man began to lose balance.

Oscar took a few steps back from Lisa. He was forced to stop for a moment so as not to accidentally beat the pregnant woman.

Even though Rangga looked so pathetic, Oscar had no intention of stopping. If Lisa hadn't separated them, he'd have landed another punch for Rangga.

"Oscar, stop it! I have nothing to do with you anymore! Stop beating Rangga! He didn't do anything wrong! Just leave me alone!"

Hearing Lisa's words just now, Rangga's anger started to burn again. His sharp and ferocious gaze landed on Lisa's face, which looked terrified and pitiful. With a slightly choked voice, Oscar said, "Do you two really live together?"

Rangga, standing with his legs slumped, did not say anything. Instead, he did not expect that when Oscar asked that question, Lisa immediately answered without the slightest doubt.

"Yes, Oscar! Rangga and I have been living together. Please don't bother us anymore. I don't want you to disturb our lives again. You are no longer my husband and our relationship has been damaged a long time ago because of you," Lisa said calmly and firmly. 

Her two eyes looked earnest, radiating sorrow. Without realizing it, one of her eyes started to water. Lisa was forced to lie to the golden haired man so that he wouldn't come to bother her again in the future.

Goosebumps started running along Oscar's spine, hearing Lisa's words that were piercing his heart like a poisonous arrow. His chest immediately felt so tight that it was difficult to breathe.

"Lisa…" Oscar said softly, his face showing disbelief. "You are carrying my child and you are living with another man? You really have no shame, Lisa!" 

His two blue eyes stared intently at Rangga then moved to Lisa, which looked sad and frustrated. Seeing his pregnant ex-wife side by side with another man made him feel so angry, as if he was going to explode.

Rangga gathered the rest of his strength to stand up and walked towards Oscar. The man did not intend to beat him but he looked at Oscar's clear blue eyes sharply and said, "Oscar, we used to be good colleagues, and I admit you helped me a lot when my company was in need of help, but that doesn't mean I would be willing to hand over Lisa to you as a token of gratitude."

"Rangga, what do you mean by saying that?" Oscar asked in surprise.

"You insist on saying that Lisa is your lover, your woman, an 'object' that only you can have, and the child that grows in her womb is yours. If you really love her, let me ask you, where were you when Lisa had a high fever at her boarding house? Where were you when Lisa was bullied by her colleagues in the office and almost got fired for it?"

Hearing the story made Oscar speechless. He just stared at Rangga blankly.

"Oscar, I'll tell you again, I won't be willing to give Lisa to you and other men. I love Lisa for who she is. I won't hurt her like you did. I will always protect her with everything I have. Even the child she was carrying, when it's born, I will take care of it the best I can. I'll take care of that child like my own. So you don't have to worry about that." Rangga's tone sounded very steady without any doubt. His two black eyes stared intently at Oscar who was still frozen in place.

Meanwhile, Lisa suddenly fell silent after hearing those words. It would be a lie if she was not moved and touched by what Rangga had just uttered. Lisa realized that the man had always loved her, but the words that came out of his lips sounded sincere this time. Unlike before.

It even made Oscar's confidence crumble in an instant. Never before had that foreign man's pride and self-confidence fallen just because of a sentence from a native person like Rangga.

Lisa took a deep breath and said to Oscar, "I hope you understand now, Oscar." She grabbed Rangga's arm and said, "Come home, I'm tired."

Oscar froze in silence where he stood. Staring at the two stepping away from him tore his heart apart. He clenched his palms, gripped the fists firmly to contain the turbulent emotions he felt inside.

His plan to make up with Lisa was completely crushed. He'd promised himself that when William had fully recovered later, he would come back to Lisa and tell her what really happened between him and Clara.

***

Meanwhile, at Rangga's house, Lisa's mood suddenly dropped after meeting the golden haired man in the park. Even worse, she felt a little depressed. She sat on the sofa in the living room all day long, staring blankly at the TV. 

The movie on the TV seemed to be telling her love story with Oscar when the two of them were still together. But the love story ended very tragically, where a woman came and took the man from her. Even sadder, Oscar's love for Lisa was nothing but empty words. 

She felt so insulted.

"Lisa, have a drink," Rangga said, handing Lisa a glass of warm water.

Lisa gasped from her lonely reverie then took a sip. "Thanks..."

Without realizing it, Rangga sat beside her as she looked depressed and empty. The man tried to embrace Lisa, but the woman brushed his hand.

Rangga was confused by Lisa's cold attitude just now. Earlier in the park, Lisa admitted that she and Rangga were living together. But why did she suddenly turn cold like this?

"Lisa, what I said to Oscar… I really meant it. I won't take back everything that I've said in the park. I will take care of your child like Julian. I'm even willing to be the guardian of your child, Lis. I will take responsibility and care for your child like my own. Do you want to give me the opportunity to propose to you?" Rangga asked quietly.

Hearing the sentence just now made Lisa amazed. She frowned while staring at Rangga's pitiful face.

"Huh, what were you talking about just now?"
