Chapter 419 - Sick?
"Your mother can't accept me anymore. She wanted you to cancel our engagement. And now she wants to send me to a mental hospital. Raka, are you going to end our engagement?" Natali asked.
"I promised your father that I will take good care of you. I will do as I say. Don't think too much," Raka said, comforting her.
"Are you really not going to leave me?" Natali looked at Raka with a pitiful look.
"You have made many mistakes, but you never hurt me. As long as you want to change, we can face everything together," Raka replied calmly.
"I will change. I will listen to you," Natali hugged Raka happily.
She knew she had done nothing wrong. Raka would also never leave her because he was a responsible man. He never broke his promise.
"Raka, take Natali downstairs and have dinner together," after listening to her husband's advice, Irena finally took the initiative to make up with Natali and called her to have dinner together.
"I'll change clothes for a moment. You and mom come down first," Raka remembered that Anya won the perfume competition today and he wanted to congratulate her.
As soon as Natali and Irena came downstairs, Raka called Anya.
At this time, Anya was sitting on the sofa and eating fruit. When she heard her cell phone ring, she immediately picked it up.
"Raka, what's wrong?" When she saw Raka's name on her cell phone's screen, Anya was immediately worried.
Did Natali plan something bad again? Did she want to harm her again?
"I want to say congratulations. I saw the news that you won the perfume competition. I know you can do it," Raka said, giving his heartfelt congratulations.
"Thank you," Anya replied with a smile.
"I'm glad you are very successful now and can do the things you love," said Raka.
"I didn't think I could win. I have to thank my mother for passing on her talent. All of this is also thanks to Aiden. He always supports me to do whatever I like," Anya turned and kissed Aiden on the cheek silently.
Aiden just smiled from beside her as he put his hand on Anya's shoulder.
Today, Keara's performance was really good too. But her ability to create perfume was not as great as Anya. Keara had only started to learn since she disappeared.
Meanwhile, Anya had followed her mother since she was young. And she also had Esther as her mentor.
She even had the perfume recipe book from two great perfumers— Diana Hutama and Esther Widyantara.
The book was very helpful as a reference and research material.
Anya thought that she was the daughter of Diana and Galih. Diana was a good parfumeur while Galih was the king of spices. That is why, Anya felt she had an advantage in terms of natural talent.
"I'm glad your relationship works well," there was a hint of envy in Raka's voice.
Anya knew Raka said this because he was thinking about his relationship with Natali. Pity crept into Anya's heart. Too bad a good guy like Raka had to end up with bad Natali.
"Raka, Iris will launch a new product in a few days. I will give one to you," Anya said, changing the subject.
"I'm looking forward to it," Raka replied.
"Alright then. I'll call you later."
Anya's popularity had risen tremendously after the perfume competition and her perfume business had experienced a surge in sales.
Iris was the most popular perfume shop in Indonesia. Every time they launched a new product, everyone would flock to buy it, making all Iris products sold out.
This made Anya even more busy in her work. She was not only responsible as Aiden's secretary, but also the head perfumer in Iris.
The only thing that bothered Anya was Keara. Keara also won the perfume competition and won third place. Keara's perfume shop was right in front of Iris.
Since the Pratama Family was the king of spices, apart from perfume, the other products at Keara's shop were also selling very well.
Besides Keara, Anya also had to compete with Amore on the second floor. Her mother's perfume was still selling in Amore and it was selling very well. Although the parfumeur from Amore did not win the competition, their business was completely unaffected.
Time passed very quickly. October was almost over.
Due to her busy schedule, Anya was getting thinner. She was so busy working that she had no appetite. At night, she slept poorly and always dreamt of strange things.
Aiden felt very sad seeing his wife's condition like this. He knew that his wife was trying hard at her job, but he didn't want Anya to keep neglecting her health like this.
Even though Aiden had reduced Anya's job as his secretary, he still couldn't reduce Anya's burden.
On November 11th, massive discounts were taking place everywhere, both in online and offline stores. Iris also held various events and promotions.
Tonight, Aiden would get the profits from selling Iris, Keara's Perfume and Amore.
Anya couldn't sleep because she was too worried, so she waited along with Aiden for the results of the sale.
"The profits from Keara's Perfume and Amore sales are still below you," Aiden held Anya's face with both hands and kissed her lips gently. "Starting tomorrow, you rest. You're working too hard,"
Anya leaned her head on Aiden's shoulder. "I'm very lucky to have you. It doesn't matter how much money you have, if you can't be with the people you love, you will never be happy,"
Aiden understood what Anya meant. His wife was talking about Raka. Anya felt sorry for Raka…
"If Raka is the one you love, I can't be happy," Aiden replied.
Anya laughed hearing her husband's jealousy. "Why are you talking like that? Raka just thinks of me as a friend and has forgotten about our past. I'm talking about Nico. What does it mean even if he gets shares from dad? If he can't be with Tara, he won't be happy,"
"Then let him be unhappy," Aiden said calmly.
"I will definitely get Tara and I will be happy. I will invite her to count the money I have together," suddenly, Nico appeared behind them.
When she saw Nico coming, Anya was too weak and didn't even have the energy to say hello.
Nico came for dinner. He took Anya and Aiden's melons, sat on the back of the sofa and ate them casually.
Hana came carrying a bowl filled with brown liquid. "Anya, drink this and rest."
"Auntie, are you sick?" Nico frowned when he saw the herbs in the bowl.
"It is a herbal potion to nourish the womb. Maybe Mr. Nico will have a cousin soon," Hana said happily.
Anya looked at the bowl and frowned. She really wanted to cover her nose. "Wow! What potion is Tara making now? It smells really awful,"
"My Tara is really great, she could even make this kind of potion," Nico said with a chuckle, half joking.
"I want to have children with your uncle, so I have to take care of my health and take a lot of herbal medicine. I want to have both a son and a daughter," even though the potion smelled bad, Anya still accepted it with a smile.
She took a little sip, but her stomach immediately scrambled and felt very nauseous...
Anya immediately put the bowl on the table and ran to the bathroom. She threw up all of her dinner earlier...
