"Indah, don't worry about your brother. I will go to the Atmajaya Family's house tomorrow," said Galih with a serious expression.
"Ardan is dead. Nico and Nadine don't have a father so Bima is so pampering and protective of them. My brother has committed a grave crime against both at once so Bima will not remain silent. I don't want you involved in this. If Bima talks about Keara's pregnancy, how will you answer?" Indah advised her husband not to go to the Atmajaya Family house.
Her own brother also had grandchildren, but he had the courage to do such a cruel thing. It seemed like Toni really wanted to stay in jail.
If this was the case then nothing or nobody would stop him.
Indah had given up on her brother's life. If Toni really wanted to die, she'd let him as she was too lazy to save him.
"Too bad my family has brought a complete disgrace to this world," Galih was really disappointed in Keara. He repeatedly thought that it would be better if his daughter did not return last year. Just how good things would be had Keara really died two years ago. Galih would rather lose her and remember her as his kind -hearted beloved daughter than watch her live as someone he despised.
Upon hearing her father's words, Keara also felt angry. "Dad, do you want me to die and my sister back alive? I'm so sorry that fate prefers your disgraceful daughter to return to life and your good daughter you'd been searching for for years to die."
Galih immediately slapped Keara's face hard until her face turned red and a trace of finger marks stained her white face.
"Keara…!" Indah exclaimed, immediately protecting Keara behind her. "Galih, what did you do to our child? Is pregnancy something done alone? It doesn't make sense for you to blame Keara alone. Aiden is also responsible!"
"Just ask her if Aiden is also guilty!" Galih replied angrily.
"If you all don't like me, I will leave this house!" Keara cried, covering her red and swollen face. Without dinner, she left her family home.
"Keara, don't go…" Indah ran after her daughter. But just a few steps away, her body couldn't hold it and she immediately fainted.
…
At Aiden's house, Maria and Hana were seen busy in the kitchen. Meanwhile, Anya was chopping fruit and making a fruit salad in front.
Inadvertently, she sliced her own hand while cutting the fruits.
"Ahh," Anya hissed while holding back the pain.
"What's wrong?" When he heard Anya's voice, Aiden immediately approached her. Seeing Anya's bleeding finger, the man didn't hesitate to pull her hand away and put it in his mouth.
Anya was stunned in her place, looking somewhat confusedly at Aiden. Then she whispered, "I'm fine. It's just a small wound."
A waiter immediately brought a box of medicine for Anya. Aiden then held Anya's hand and led her toward the family room's sofa.
"Why are you so careless?" He asked as he helped Anya clean her wounds. Seeing that the wound was not deep, Aiden could only breathe a sigh of relief. After that, he bandaged Anya's wound.
"I don't know why. While cutting the fruit, my chest suddenly felt hurt and my hand slipped," Anya answered. She did not know what had happened to her. Her hand went up and held towards her chest. "I felt my chest tighten and a little panicked. Why do I have a bad feeling something is going on?"
"I'll have someone pick up your mother," Aiden said.
"I'll call her," her bad feeling never disappeared after that so Anya decided to call her mother. When the phone was connected, she could hear the sound of the TV from the other side.
"Anya, have you eaten?" Diana asked with a smile. "If it's too late, you better stay at Aiden's house. I want to go to bed right away and can't open the door for you."
Aiden was sitting next to Anya so he could hear Diana's words clearly.
Anya's face immediately flushed when she heard her mother tease her. "Mother, what did you say? I have my own key with me. Have you had dinner? Do you want to come here and have dinner with me?"
"I have eaten. I'm watching TV now. I will take a shower and sleep soon," said Diana.
"If you're tired, go to bed and rest then," Anya sighed with relief.
She did not know what had happened to her recently. But after calling her mother and finding out that she was fine, she was very relieved.
At dinner, Harris received a call and then whispered to Aiden.
Aiden's face immediately changed when he heard Harris' report and then shifted his gaze at Anya.
He had just received the news that Galih slapped Keara so that she ran away from home. Indah felt so shocked that she fell ill and was taken to the hospital.
It happened right when Anya suddenly felt her chest tightened and had a short breath.
The blood ties were very strange indeed. Even though they were not together and hadn't found each other, their feelings were always connected.
Harris said that Indah's health was currently very poor and there was a possibility that she would not survive. Did they have to tell Anya that Indah was her birth mother?
Aiden just told Harris to pay attention to Indah's current situation. If anything happened, Aiden asked him to report immediately.
In the evening, Nico, Nadine and Tara come to have dinner with them. As soon as Aiden's house became crowded, Nico immediately opened the wine and poured it for Anya, as if trying to ask for help from her.
"Why did you pour it for me? Aiden is back. If you need help, you better look for him." After two glasses, Anya did not want to drink anymore.
"Anya, let me drink it for you," Maria said. She had been busy cooking since this afternoon that she couldn't even stand because her legs were limp.
Anya didn't let Maria take her glass. "Sister, don't drink on an empty stomach. Your stomach will hurt later."
"Anya, I really want to apologize for what happened to you and Aiden two years ago. If you two don't come back together, I will never be able to live in peace," Maria said, shedding tears.
"Sister, don't be like this. I didn't say I wouldn't get along with Aiden." When she saw Maria like this, Anya could feel her heart melt. She remembered all of her kindness to her.
Hana then helped Maria to sit in the middle of the table. Today, Maria was the oldest person there, so she would lead the dinner.
She looked at the three couples in front of her with pleasure. Maria then said with a smile, "Harris, I'm happy with your relationship with Nadine. As a parent, as long as my child is happy, I am also happy. Take good care of Nadine and don't disappoint her."
"Thank you for your trust. I will take good care of Nadine," Harris immediately stood up and said it in front of everyone.
Hana smiled as she said, "Ma'am, I'll keep an eye on Harris. If he dares to make Miss Nadine sad, I will intervene and teach him a lesson."
"Then, I can calm down now." Maria laughed. After that, she turned to Tara and Nico. "Tara, Nico is still a child. I have to ask you to help me take care of him. If Nico doesn't want to listen to you, just report him to Aiden. In this family, only Aiden can educate Nico."
Tara felt a little embarrassed when she heard that. "Ah, no! Nico is very kind to me."
"If you are ready and confident to marry Nico, just tell me. Nico's grandfather and I will come to your grandfather's house and ask for his approval to propose to you," Maria said. When she found out that Tara had not approved Nico's proposal, she did not immediately urge her.
She gave Tara a chance to think and decide it without any rush.
"Mom, I'll let you know if my proposal is finally accepted," Nico said with a laugh.
