BXBX NOVEL Chapter 297 - One-sided
"Aiden, I really want to live happily with you. But why do I feel like I can\'t keep you by my side?" Anya buried her head on Aiden\'s shoulder and said in a low voice. She tried to hide her hot eyes.
Aiden lowered his head and kissed Anya\'s long hair. Then, he whispered softly, "If you don\'t go away from me, nothing will be able to you from me. If you don\'t give up, you will be my wife forever. It never crossed my mind to leave you."
"But..." Anya wanted to question Aiden and Keara\'s kiss. Aiden kissed Keara, but he said that he had no intention of leaving her?
What did Aiden mean?
Was he not satisfied with having Anya alone?
Did he want Anya as his wife at home and Keara as his lover in public?
But with someone like Keara, how could that woman accept to be number two? She would definitely make Anya\'s life like hell!
"Did you see me hugging and kissing Keara? Why didn\'t you ask me?" Aiden asked with a sad smile. "It\'s better for me to see you come over and scold us than to keep everything to yourself. It\'s better to face the problem head on than to run away."
"I\'m not the only person you care about. I\'m just a substitute who can\'t accept reality. What right do I have to question all of that to you?" Anya still didn\'t want to raise her head because her eyes were filled with tears.
"I told you. You are not a substitute. You are the only one for me," Aiden said with a deep sigh.
"If you could only choose one of us, who would you choose? Me or Keara?" Anya asked.
"You," Aiden replied without hesitation.
Anya laughed at that, but the tears on her face couldn\'t stop. "Are you serious? I am stupid. I will believe you even if you lie,"
"No matter what, as long as you are in that choice, I will always choose you," Aiden held Anya\'s face, which was still shedding tears. He smiled faintly at his whiny little wife and looked at her with love.
Anya couldn\'t help herself. The tears that flowed down her face continued to fall, even though they had turned into tears of joy now.
Aiden said that he would always choose her!
"What happened to that kiss?" Anya asked in the end.
Aiden did not answer, but he immediately took out his cellphone and opened the CCTV footage he had taken from the Atmajaya family house. "See for yourself!"
In the recording, Anya could see Keara\'s whole body convulsing as if to show extreme pain. Her hands were on her own neck as if she was going to strangle herself.
At that time, Anya was behind them. Aiden\'s wide back covered her vision so she couldn\'t see what was happening to Keara.
Seeing the tape, Anya was shocked and asked, "What happened to her?"
"At that moment, the corners of her lips were bleeding and her body twitched. She looked like she had an epileptic seizure. I didn\'t have time to think so I walked over to her and tried to open her mouth, afraid that she might bite her tongue. If she bit her tongue, she would die," Aiden said.
Anya felt her brain was empty. What she saw as Aiden embracing Keara was actually an epileptic seizure. Aiden grabbed Keara\'s chin, forcing her to open her mouth to save her, not to kiss her.
But from Anya\'s point of view, she mistakenly thought that Aiden was hugging Keara\'s waist and intended to kiss her lips.
After that, the kiss that Anya saw could be explained from the CCTV footage.
On the CCTV screen, the kiss between Keara and Aiden was clearly recorded. Keara tiptoed a little and took the opportunity to kiss Aiden on the lips. At that time, Aiden couldn\'t react as his mind was focused on saving Keara from her seizure.
He didn\'t think that Keara would even kiss him.
Aiden pushed Keara to the ground in anger. At that time, Anya had run away from the place.
"Do you know what she said when she fell on the floor?" Aiden\'s eyes were filled with sadness.
"What?" Anya could only watch the recording without sound.
"She said that you were behind us from earlier. She laughed at me and questioned which one you believed more, me or what you saw," Aiden laughed at himself. "Anya, I have to admit defeat this time,"
"Defeat?" Anya tried to digest Aiden\'s words.
"Yes, I lost to you. You don\'t trust me," Aiden said.
"If you are willing to explain it, of course I will believe you," Anya replied seriously. "I know you will never lie to me. I always believe everything you tell me,"
"But were you asking me? Were you asking me to explain?" Aiden asked.
"I..." Anya stopped talking awkwardly. Since she trusted what she saw, she didn\'t ask Aiden.
She immediately thought that Aiden and Keara\'s love had returned.
"It\'s hard to continue this relationship if we don\'t trust each other. I\'ll give you time to think. After ten days, I hope you can give me an answer," Aiden turned towards his study.
Anya knew that Aiden was busy taking care of the scandal that had spread across the internet. And she knew Aiden gave her time to think, thinking of why she didn\'t trust Aiden…
If she had asked him and listened to Aiden\'s explanation, things wouldn\'t have gotten this bad.
But why didn\'t she ask? Why did she trust what she saw more than Aiden?
Was it true that she didn\'t love Aiden as much as she said since she didn\'t believe him?
…
At the same time, at the Pratama Family\'s house, Galih and Indah were sitting on the sofa. Keara was sitting opposite them as if nothing had happened.
"Keara, what exactly those pictures on the internet mean?" Galih asked.
"I\'m just having dinner with Aiden. I didn\'t expect the news to spread like this," Keara said with a serious face.
"Reporters would never dare to spread rumors about Aiden\'s matters, unless someone ordered them. They only dare to take such a risk obviously with a mastermind behind it," Indah calmly said. "Did you do it?"
Keara looked at her mother with wide eyes. "Did you suspect me?"
"You still don\'t want to tell the truth now?" Galih felt angry. "I know you don\'t love Aiden at all. If Aiden were still blind and paralyzed like a year ago, you would be disgusted by him,"
"Father, don\'t I get along well with Aiden? Me and Aiden are both victims, we\'re survivors! Why can\'t we be together?" Keara finally told her true heart.
"Keara, the reason why you want to get Aiden is to prove that you can control the love in your heart. When you intend to be with him, you will only show your weaknesses. Aiden is not the only man in this world," Galih said.
"If you don\'t like Ivan, you can cancel the engagement. But don\'t bother Aiden. I know that Aiden doesn\'t like you," Indah said what she felt, without covering up even though she was talking to her daughter.
"You just don\'t want me to be with Aiden. But what should I do? I like him. Why should I give up such a perfect man to be with Anya?" Keara really looked down on Anya in her heart. Anya was not worth Aiden and she didn\'t deserve to be her rival.
She couldn\'t accept that she had to lose to such an opponent.
"You ended your relationship with Aiden yourself and chose Ivan. As long as you want to give in, I\'m sure this problem will be resolved," Indah admonished her.
Keara shook her head. "I can\'t, Mother. Now I know who I really love after I almost died. I don\'t want to lose to Anya. I\'m going to take Aiden back. Aiden is mine!"
"Keara, Aiden is also human. Love is not something you can decide unilaterally. You do want to be with him, but he already has Anya. Like it or not, your relationship ended a long time ago. You can step into the future only by forgetting your past," Galih calmly advised her.
