BXBX NOVEL Chapter 684 - My Beloved
"We will visit you and the kids on New Year eve. Let's celebrate the new year together. Sorry we can't join you tonight, we have another plan," Indah said with a shy smile.
Anya laughed happily when she heard that. "Dad is so romantic."
Diana then looked at Galih with a smile. Since a long time ago, Galih had been a kind and responsible man. But she did not expect that he would still be romantic towards her even though they were getting old.
"You… Young people love partying. We parents just want to be alone," Galih said with a smile.
"Alright then. I won't interfere with your date. Let's gather at the new year later," for Anya, seeing the love of her father and mother was a joy in itself.
She was happy to see her family in harmony.
During the day, Anya laid beside her mother and chatted with her. But their conversation changed.
"Mother, have you ever thought about finding a husband again?" Anya suddenly asked. "Seeing mom and dad on a date, I'm worried that you will be lonely."
"Who says I'm lonely? Don't I have you? I also have Arka and Aksa. Of course I am not alone! Besides, I made a promise with Esther. We will live together in a nursing home one day. Good men are so rare in this world, I'm better off alone. I don't want to be hurt anymore," Diana said with a smile.
"If someday you find a good man, I hope you can remarry," said Anya.
"Parents are the one who usually want their children to get married. But you even want me to remarry. I'm not getting married. You are enough for me," Diana had felt the pain of love. The scar that Deny had engraved on her heart still remained, making her afraid to feel love a second time.
"Anya didn't force you to get married. She just wanted you to find your happiness and not let the chance slip from your hand," Aiden said, helping Anya explain her words better.
"Yes, that's what I meant. Aiden really understands me the most," Anya nodded.
"If you are happy, I will be happy too," Diana said, looking at her daughter and son-in-law. "As long as you two are fine, I'm quite satisfied."
"Of course I'm happy. Aiden is very nice to me," Anya's voice sounded lower. She laid beside Diana and fell asleep not long after.
Aiden carried Anya back to her own bed and covered her.
Diana was also very tired, but she tried to keep up with Anya and chatted with her.
When Anya fell asleep, she finally had the opportunity to ask Aiden, "What happened to Anya?"
"Postpartum depression. When you're hurt, Anya is very emotional. She was so depressed that she had mastitis and could no longer breastfeed. Many things that happened to her made her depressed. But don't worry. Arka and Aksa are home mow, and you're awake too. Anya will be fine," Aiden said in a low voice.
"This is all my fault. I make you two worried a lot. If only I listened to you and stayed in your house for a while, none of this would have happened," Diana said, closing her eyes regretfully.
"You're not wrong. The fault belongs to those who want to harm us. Don't worry about it. You better get lots of rest," Aiden said, comforting Diana.
Diana looked at her daughter closely. Seeing Anya sleeping soundly, Diana felt sorry for what happened to her daughter.
But she believed that her daughter was a strong woman, just like her.
"I'm sure Anya will recover soon. We just need to believe in her," said Diana.
"Now rest, We'll be home in a bit," Aiden not only brought medics from the hospital, but also some of the equipment Diana needed. He was worried that Diana would not be able to go home because she had just regained consciousness.
Since he had agreed to take Diana home today, the preparations had to be carefully taken care of and without any risk.
Anya was very fragile now and if anything happened, she could collapse anytime.
Today was Christmas day. Anya had invited all her close relatives to come to her house and celebrate together, including Raka and Della.
Raka spent his day off at the office. While he was working, Nico suddenly called him, "Raka, you have to come tonight. We have to comfort my aunt and encourage her so that she does not become depressed. By the way, don't forget to take Della along. If not, you will be the only man without a partner there."
After Nico hung up the phone, Raka immediately sent a message to Della.
Raka: "Aiden and Anya invited me to a Christmas party at their house. I will pick you up."
When Della read the message, she felt helpless.
Could she refuse? Since Raka did not have a partner, he was forced to ask her.
Did that mean she had to pretend to be Raka's lover and accompany him to an event organized by his ex-lover?
Della really didn't want to! If she could refuse, she better not go along…
"Ah! There's Della here…" A girl suddenly stopped her.
"Is this jacket a Dior brand? How could you afford it?" The other girl didn't even try to lower her voice while insulting Della.
"Have you heard it? They said she didn't want to marry the autistic Halim so she ran away from home. Now she is with Raka, the prince of the Mahendra Group. How could Raka let her use fake goods?"
The girl beside her laughed. "Raka doesn't care about her. I think she was the one who deliberately got close and continued to chase after him. I think her jacket is fake."
Someone immediately nudged Della, causing her to fall to the ground. And then several other girls came forward to get her jacket.
Della tried to fight back, but there were too many people attacking her. She couldn't do anything when they took her jacket.
"What are you doing?" Raka did not expect to see this incident when he just arrived.
"Raka?"
"Wow! It really is Raka! He's so handsome!"
"He is much more handsome than in the photo. Raka, all the girls on this campus like you!"
"Raka, can I take a photo with you?"
But Raka didn't care even though there were many girls who liked him in front of him. He growled irritably. "Who did it?"
Everyone there was stunned. After hearing Raka's question, none of them dared to step forward.
When she saw Raka angry, Della immediately took her jacket from the ground and patted it several times to clean it. "Never mind. Let's go!"
"Are you stupid? You let these people bully you and you didn't fight back?" Raka immediately scolded her.
"Raka, Della told everyone that you are his girlfriend and you live together."
"So true. Why do you like a girl like her?"
"She deliberately showed off and claimed that you are her lover. We were very angry when we found out that she was just lying!"
With his big hands, Raka pulled Della into his arms. "It is true what she said. We do live together."
Della's eyes widened in an instant. She looked at Raka's face in confusion.
'Do you realize what you are saying?' She thought in frustration.
She hoped that these girls would get tired of bullying her. But Raka made their misunderstanding even worse.
"How can you like a girl like her? She is just the adopted daughter of the Mawardi family. She is nothing. Even the Mawardi family doesn't want to acknowledge her anymore!"
"Are you kidding?"
However, Raka's face looked very serious, making the girls fall silent once again. "Della is my lover. Whoever bullies her is looking for trouble with me," he went with Della in his arms, leaving the girls confused by themselves.
After getting back into the car, Della saw that Raka was calm again. She took the initiative to explain, "They are just kidding. You didn't need to say that, sir,"
