"What's wrong?" Aiden answered the cellphone as he walked upstairs, leaving Anya with Hana.
Anya stood in the family room, staring at her husband's tall body leaving her. She thought back to when they walked ho hand in hand under the rain. Even though they had to separate after this, those beautiful mories were enough for Anya to stay alive.
The good mories together with Aiden were enough for Anya…
"Today is Christmas day. It's ti for you to tell us about Anya!" Bima shouted from across the phone.
"I've ordered all my bodyguards to leave the Atmajaya Family house this morning. After Christmas, I'm going to divorce her," Aiden said in a cold voice.
"What about the child in her belly? Has she agreed to have an abortion?" Bima asked.
"I'll try to persuade her," Aiden replied curtly.
This gathering had shattered his good mood.
"You co back ho right now. Your sister found Nana's childhood photo and she has a birthmark on her chest. The birthmark looks so faint that I can't take a photo of it and send it to you. Co here quickly and see for yourself. Maybe…" Bima stopped talking.
When he heard this, Aiden's eyes imdiately lit up with new hope.
"I'll be right there," without waiting long, Aiden imdiately hung up. After that, he imdiately took his car's key and went downstairs while running.
"Sir, would you like to co out?" Hana asked, trying to catch up.
"I will return to the Atmajaya Family house. I'll be back to eat later in the afternoon. Nico and Tara will arrive in the evening," Aiden said hastily.
It was unusual for Hana to see Aiden like this. The man was usually calm and acted like the perfect guy. But now he looked very panicked.
Anya was back in her room to take a shower. After that, she went downstairs in comfortable pajamas.
The air conditioner in the family room was not too cold so it felt very comfortable to rest while watching TV.
She was in a very good mood today and her body also felt much fresher. Even though it was raining outside, she wasn't cold at all.
"Anya, Aiden will co back for lunch later. Is there anything you want? Let make it," Hana said with a smile.
"Aiden is going back for lunch? Just cook his favorite food then," Anya replied with a smile.
"Looks like you are in a good mood today?" Hana smiled too when she saw Anya happy.
Anya had been looking sad and gloomy for weeks. Indeed, only Aiden could make her happy.
"How about we make roasted chicken for dinner tonight? Or galantine?"
"I've prepared the ingredients. Just cook it," Hana said with a smile.
"Then, I'll make jelly for dessert. Looks like Aiden likes my jelly. Mrs. Hana, don't worry about . You can continue cooking," Anya rolled up her long sleeves and went to the kitchen.
A few monts later, their doorbell rang. Tara and Nico knew the password for Aiden's house so they could just enter without ringing the bell.
Then, who had co?
"Anya, Mada Maria is here," Hana said worriedly. Previously, Aiden had told her that no one from the Atmajaya Family could contact Anya Later in the afternoon.
"Sister Maria? Why not let her in?" Anya asked, looking confused.
"Aiden himself advised not to allow anyone approach you, especially Mr. Bima and Mrs. Maria. Aiden is afraid that sothing will happen to you," Hana said.
Anya frowned. She knew why Aiden didn't let Bima approach her because Bima wanted to abort her pregnancy.
But Maria?
"Sister Maria will never hurt . She is very good to . Let her in," Anya said.
Hana returned and opened the door for Maria. But she found that Maria did not co alone. She ca along with several chefs to help make food at the Christmas party today.
Of course Hana couldn't kick her out. She could only welco them all together.
A total of five chefs ca. Each of them brought a tray with a transparent glass lid, the ingredients they had brought could be seen from the outside.
"Anya, Mada Maria ca to bring so chefs and dishes for you," Hana said.
Anya went straight to Maria. "Sis, don't bother bringing food."
Maria's face looked pale when Anya approached her, but it didn't take long for her to return to normal. "What are you doing?"
"I'm making jelly for dessert tonight," Anya said as she continued putting the mold in the refrigerator.
Maria picked up so oranges in the refrigerator and peeled them quickly. After that, she put them in the juicer and took two glasses.
"Are you done? Let's have a chat. It's been a few days I haven't seen you," Maria walked toward the sofa, carrying two glasses of orange juice.
Anya put all the molds in the refrigerator and then took off the apron she was using. After that, she followed Maria.
She already knew what Maria wanted to say. Maria just wanted to persuade her to divorce Aiden and kill the child in her womb.
Over and over again…
Maria took her glass and drank it. "The orange juice is delicious. Even without sugar, it still tastes sweet,"
"Is it true? I will try it," Anya took the other glass happily. However, after taking a sip, she frowned. "Doesn't it taste strange?"
"Not really. Oranges contain a lot of vitamin C and it's good for your health," Maria said as she continued to swallow until the remaining half a glass.
Her face was calm, but her eyes continued to stare at Anya's stomach.
Anya didn't want to disappoint Maria's kindness so she took a few more sips. However, because of its strange taste, she couldn't finish it.
She didn't know whether the orange was stale or the juicer was not clean enough, the juice just tasted very strange.
Seeing that Anya didn't want to drink it anymore, Maria said, "I want to talk to you alone. It's an important issue. Can we go to your room?"
Anya was silent for a mont. Could it be that Maria wanted to talk about Tara and Nico's problem?
Recently, Tara left Nico's house and wanted to end her engagent with him. Maybe Maria wanted to ask what happened between them.
Anya nodded. She no longer wanted to drink this orange juice so going to her room was probably a better option.
When she went upstairs, Maria saw Hana and said to her, "I want to discuss an important matter with Anya. Don't let anyone bother us."
Hana nodded.
After working for the Atmajaya Family for years, she beca acquainted with Maria. Maria was a very kind woman and she knew Maria would never do anything to Anya.
Therefore, Hana was able to continue her work calmly.
Maria went upstairs together with Anya. After entering the room, she locked the door behind her.
Anya could feel her heart beating fast. She imdiately looked at Maria with worry. "Sis, why did you lock the door?"
