Nico didn't realize that Aiden was teasing him. "Uncle, since when did Atmajaya Group intend to open a matchmaking agency?"
"From now on," Aiden replied.
Anya laughed seeing the conversation between them. She found it funny that Nico didn't notice when Aiden was teasing him. "Why am I so happy seeing you being fooled like this? Am I bad?" She said with a laugh.
"Who told Nico to be stupid? He can't even realize that his uncle is teasing him," Tara laughed too.
"Uncle, why are you insulting ? I help you to get rid of your rival. If Raka is with Della, you don't have to worry that he will steal my aunt," Nico said irritably.
"I really don't care about Raka and I don't think of him as a rival. Nobody will be able to snatch my wife from ," Aiden reached out his hand to stroke Anya's head.
Anya welcod his hand and drew closer to her husband. "I also don't want to be with any other than him," she replied. Aiden took the opportunity to briefly kiss her lips.
"Do you have to show off your affection in the morning like this?" Nico closed his eyes when he saw his uncle and aunt kissing. Then, he imdiately turned to Tara. "Honey, I want to kiss too."
Tara rolled her eyes at his shaless behavior. But she didn't refuse. "Close your eyes," she said.
Nico imdiately complied and closed his eyes tightly, expecting a kiss from his fiancée.
Tara took the loaves on the table and pressed them against Nico's lips, sending his head backwards.
Nico felt sothing was strange. Did Tara really kiss him this aggressively?
When he opened his eyes, he saw the round bread in front of him, pressed against his lips so tightly that it bended. He imdiately ate the bread in annoyance.
Tara and Anya bursted into laughter seeing him.
After breakfast, Nico and Tara intended to pack food for Raka and Della. But before they got ho, Raka sent a ssage to him.
Raka: "Nico, I'll go ho first. I'll buy you new sheets later."
After seeing the ssage, Nico felt confused and said to Tara, "Tara, Raka ca ho with our sheets."
"There must be sothing that happened last night, so they brought the sheet with them. Did we do the right thing?" Tara didn't know if what they did last night to Raka was right.
This was tantamount to forcing him and Della to unite in the wrong way.
"Raka is not soone like that. If he did it, that ans he really likes her," Anya said with a smile.
After that, Nico and Tara imdiately went to work. Harris and Nadine also imdiately left, leaving Aiden and Anya alone.
"Aiden, aren't you going to work today?" Anya was confused when she saw Harris leaving but Aiden was still at ho.
"Today, I will accompany you to your mother and father's house," he replied.
"Didn't we already make an appointnt with mom and dad to et during the new year?" Anya felt there was no need for her to go to her father and mother's house now. Plus, it rained heavily last night that the streets were flooded. Anya didn't want to go today.
Aiden grabbed her shoulder and looked at her seriously. Then, he said carefully, "Keara committed suicide last night. Your parents should know."
After the words left him, the atmosphere around them suddenly fell silent that the sound of the clockwork could be heard.
"Suicide?" Anya asked in a low voice.
Aiden nodded and studied the expression on his wife's face carefully.
"Is she really dead?" Anya asked once again.
"She couldn't be saved," Aiden replied.
Anya was silent and looked at Aiden blankly as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
After a while, she finally said, "I understand. I'll go upstairs and get changed. Wait for a mont," after that, a relieved expression appeared on Anya's face.
Aiden couldn't believe Anya would have reacted so calm. Aiden felt Anya was trying to cover up her feelings in front of him.
He followed Anya upstairs and saw her sitting in front of the mirror. She covered her face and shook her shoulders, but her lips were smiling.
Aiden walked over to her and stood behind her. Then, she tightly hugged Anya's waist and kissed her on the cheek, trying to comfort her. "Everything will be alright."
"She should have died," Anya's eyes looked red. "She killed my child and wanted to take my life too. I don't care even if she is my sister. But what about my father and mother?"
"Keara is dead. Everything is finished," Aiden said in a soft voice.
"When I see Arka and Aksa, I always think about my child who is no longer there," Anya said, crying.
Aiden could only stroke Anya's head and tried to calm her down.
For a mother, losing a child was the biggest wound in her heart. The wound in her heart would never heal, it would always remain with her.
But the one who took her child's life was her own sister.
Keara's death was good news for her. But she still thought about her parents.
Her heart was split in two…
She was happy and sad at the sa ti.
"Is it okay if I et mom and dad like this? Will I not offend them?" Anya asked.
"It's your duty as a child to comfort your parents," Aiden reminded her.
Anya looked at her two children for a long ti. "Aiden, even if Arka and Aksa are naughty, I will never be annoyed with them. I will never hate them. They are very precious to ."
Aiden then hugged her gently.
They would try to make Arka and Aksa happy, with many tis greater efforts, to redeem the life they lost to an unimaginable cruelty done by soone with the sa blood as their mother...
…
It was already noon when they arrived at the Pratama Family ho.
This was Anya's first ti visiting the Pratama Family's house, but Galih and Indah weren't in a good mood to show her around.
"Mother, I've heard about Keara. I'm sorry," Anya could not pretend to be sad so she could only comfort her mother with a few words.
She wasn't really sad, just making small talk to comfort her mother.
"Keara always decided everything by herself. Even leaving this life was her own decision, without thinking about and her mother. What else can I do?" Galih took a deep breath.
"Dad, it's a few days away from the new year. Two years ago, Aiden bought a house for my mother. The house was designed to my liking, but no one has occupied it for the past two years. Do you want to move there with mom? The place is closer to my house. You can co to my house to look after the children," said Anya.
Indah imdiately felt bad to hear it. The house offered by Anya was Diana's house. How could she and Galih occupy it?
"How can we live in the house that was given to your mother?" Indah imdiately refused.
"Mother lives in her own house, in the garden. Haven't you been there too? She likes a villa house, surrounded by her park and her garden, so that the house that Aiden bought was empty," Anya held her mother's hand gently. "I think it was ant for you. Mother, don't you want to move near my house?"
