Chapter 682 - Picking Up Arka And Aksa
"Anya, don\'t cry. Go to sleep now. Tomorrow I will take you to see our children." Aiden would do whatever it took to make Anya happy. He was actually the one who suffered the most when Anya was depressed.
Anya raised her head. Her big eyes looked at Aiden, looking still wet. But it also shined with hope. "Really?"
Aiden nodded and smiled. "Arka and Aksa can leave the incubator already. It\'s time for them to go home."
Anya immediately got up from Aiden\'s embrace. "I\'ll call Mrs. Hana and ask her to prepare for the Christmas party tomorrow!" She immediately took her cell phone and phoned Hana excitedly.
After she finished the call, she went to her mother\'s bedside and held Diana\'s hand happily. "Mother, Arka and Aksa will go home tomorrow. Hurry up and get up so you can have Christmas together with all of us. After that, we can celebrate the new year together!"
That night, Anya slept very soundly that she even smiled in her sleep, imagining how happy she\'d be when she met her children tomorrow.
But Aiden couldn\'t be happy. He looked sad when he looked at Anya who was asleep in his arms.
Anya\'s depression seemed to be getting serious.
A second she was crying and a second later she was laughing. Her mood continued to change in an instant.
Even though this was not the right time to bring Arka and Aksa home, Aiden felt the presence of their two sons could help Anya recover.
Depression was not a disease that could be cured with drugs like ordinary diseases. Anya needed support from her family, including her children, to be able to fight this.
Around one in the morning, Harris called Aiden. "Sir, we have found the real culprit. Do you still remember Yura, Madame\'s classmate?"
Aiden\'s eyebrows raised when he heard the name of the woman he had not heard for a long time. "That woman did everything that happened in the hospital?"
"At first, she defended Natali and took the blame for all of Natali\'s mistakes alone. However, when Natali went crazy, she changed her confession and said that Natali did everything, while she only wanted to help her friend. Yura just got out of prison last month, just as Madam was in the hospital giving birth. It\'s possible that she met with Mona," Harris said from the phone.
"Where is she now?" Aiden asked.
"When Mona was arrested, she immediately fled abroad, hiding. The city would be safe for a while."
"Alright then. Go pick up Arka and Aksa tomorrow, and bring the bodyguards with you. Be careful," Aiden warned Harris. He left this task to Harris because he only trusted him.
"Don\'t worry, sir. Mr. Nico will come with me tomorrow and help me to bring Mr. Arka and Mr. Aksa home."
"What has Ivan been doing lately?" Aiden asked. The events that had happened recently made it difficult for Aiden to trust others, including Ivan. What if Ivan suddenly changed and wanted to fight him?
"Mr. Ivan returned to the Atmajaya family home to live with Mr. Bima. He didn\'t have any contact with outsiders," said Harris.
Since Aiden started returning to the Atmajaya Group, Ivan also slowly gave up all his work and his free time was increasing.
After thinking for a moment, Aiden finally said, "Tomorrow, ask Ivan to accompany you to pick up Arka and Aksa. Let Nico stay in the town."
"Sir, what if…" Harris was nervous when he got the assignment. If something happened to Aiden\'s children, he could lose his life.
He probably didn\'t have the face to see Nadine again.
"Just do as I say," Aiden had a plan of his own. He also wanted to test Ivan. He wanted to know if his brother was still on his side.
Blood relations would not guarantee that the person would always love you and defend you.
Just look at what Keara did to Anya.
Just look at what Toni did to Indah.
Even though they were related by blood, they did not care at all and did not hesitate to commit horrible crimes, even to the cruelest acts.
…
The next morning, Ivan finally came along to pick up Arka and Aksa because Nico suddenly had a fever.
Bima would not let Nico who was feverish come with Harris to pick up his two grandchildren. What if Nico infected Arka and Aksa?
Not only that, Bima also ordered Nico to stay away from Arka and Aksa until he recovered.
Ivan immediately contacted Aiden, telling his brother that he was the one to pick up Arka and Aksa.
"Brother, please pick up Arka and Aksa safely. Harris will help you. Anya\'s current condition is still not good and she really misses the children. Also, come to my house tonight. We\'re going to celebrate Christmas," Aiden said calmly.
"Take good care of Anya. Harris and I will pick up Arka and Aksa and take them home safely," Ivan promised Aiden.
"Sorry to have troubled you, brother," after hanging up, he immediately changed all personnel who left to pick up his two sons.
He tightened security as he did not want to take any risk.
Currently, there was no one he could trust, including Ivan.
This time, Aiden wanted to test his trust in Ivan, his own brother.
If Ivan dared to do something to his two sons and wanted to harm them to take over the Atmajaya Family and save his mother, Aiden\'s guards would not remain silent and would immediately drag Ivan to him.
They set off in four helicopters to pick up Arka and Aksa, to everyone\'s amazement. They all wondered if some important figures would come to the city.
However, for the Atmajaya Family, these two children were the most important figures in their lives. And they would make sure that Arka and Aksa arrived in the city safely.
…
Anya woke up at nine in the morning the next day.
Lately, she always felt depressed, sad, tired, sleepy and didn\'t want to do anything. Although there was a new perfume room built for her, Anya spent most of her time daydreaming.
Today was Christmas so the office was off. Aiden accompanied Anya in the hospital all day long, not wanting to leave her side when she was depressed like this.
"Merry Christmas," Aiden stroked Anya\'s head and helped her to sit up with a smile.
"Merry Christmas!" Anya smiled when she saw her husband.
Maybe Anya\'s mood was a little better because it was Christmas day.
She took a shower and wore a red dress that Nadine had specially prepared for her. The red dress made the Christmas atmosphere even lively.
While Anya was having breakfast, Aiden received a call. Arka and Aksa had arrived home safely. They were fine and they were not cold. Everything was alright.
Ivan was very careful when carrying Arka and Aksa. He led everyone with the utmost decisiveness, making sure that nothing happened to his two nephews.
"Thank you for helping me to pick up the kids," said Aiden. He was too awkward to say any more than that, even though his heart was actually very relieved to know that Ivan was still on his side.
"We\'re family, don\'t be like that. Arka seems to really like me. When I carried him earlier, he kept holding my thumb and didn\'t want to let go," Ivan and Aiden were both quiet so usually their conversation would revolve around business. Never had they discussed such a personal matter.
But it seemed that Ivan couldn\'t hide his happiness when holding Aiden\'s children in his arms so he couldn\'t help telling him.
"Of course. You are his uncle. There\'s no way Arka and Aksa don\'t like you. They like you and trust you because they know their uncle will always protect them," Aiden said with a smile.
Ivan also felt surprised when he heard Aiden\'s words. It never occurred to him in his dream that he could chat with Aiden like this.
Their conversation was very normal, like siblings discussing their family.
Ivan was very happy because Aiden began to open up and entrust Arka and Aksa to him. That meant Aiden really thought of him as a brother, as a member of the Atmajaya Family.
Anya suddenly smiled when she heard their talks, then she looked at her husband.
"Why are you smiling like that?" After finishing the call, Aiden sat in front of her.
"I heard your conversation with Brother Ivan. Does Arka really like him?" Anya said with a smile.
"Today, Brother Ivan and Harris went to pick up Arka and Aksa from the island and drive them home. Brother Ivan said that when he was in the helicopter, he was the one carrying Arka. He said Arka slept in his arms while holding his thumb tightly." Aiden told her what Ivan had told him over the phone.
Anya laughed hearing that. "Of course Arka will love his uncle. He\'ll love his grandparents, aunts and cousins later too."
What made Anya even happier was Aiden\'s change. Even though Aiden was a cold figure, especially to people he didn\'t know, he was getting warmer to his family and willing to open up.
"Aiden, I really love you. You are changing for the better," said Anya.
"Does that make you love me even more?" Aiden asked on purpose.
