90 Days Pursuing My Husband's Love

I love you (Chapter 39)

What Andrew said has a point. The Great Lord Setyawan is indeed an ambitious man. He would do anything to save his company from bankruptcy, like forcing Arnold to marry me. But, what puzzled me was, why did Andreas call his own Papa by the name of the Great Lord?

"I never knew that you were going to marry Arnold, because at that time everyone cut off communication with me. You must remember, one week after your 15th birthday, I met you. I told you I was leaving."

I remember that day. Right in this hall, we sat both holding hands. Andreas did tell me that he had to leave to continue his studies.

"Little girl, I will go abroad to continue my studies." Andreas said at the time.

With tears in my eyes and so innocently I said "i'll be waiting for you."

After 5 years, Lord Setyawan came with a photo of Arnold, who I thought was Andreas, to marry me. I thought Andreas was home. Especially when Arnold, who I thought was the man I loved, came to see me on his knees proposing to me on the beach. How could I possibly refuse it.

But, in fact, it was all my fault. I misrecognized people. It was also my fault for not asking Andreas' name. I'm just comfortable with calling him 'Sister.' It turned out that my feelings for her turned into an obsession to have her. Until I was misguided.

My tears are pouring out, I can't hold it anymore. I covered my face with my palm and started sobbing. Suddenly my body felt warm, Andreas hugged me tightly.

"Cry. I'm with you." Andreas Said.

The same words as in the past when I cried a lot when I lost both my parents. I'm sobbing, considering everything I've been through for 3 years turned out to be with the wrong person. I desperately love her because I think she's the same person I used to love.

"I'm sorry...." Said Andreas in a choked voice.

'Is he crying?' my thinking.

I let go of Andreas' embrace and saw his reddened eyes.

"I'm wrong for not being able to reach you. I'm wrong because I can't get in the way of your marriage. I don't know at all because he cut off all communication with me." Isaac Andreas.

'He' who is called Andreas must be the Great Lord Setyawan.

"I came back and it was too late. So, I decided to go back overseas because I thought you'd be happy with Arnold. But in fact, my decision hurt you even more. Please forgive me." Andreas spoke again with his tears falling down his cheek.

'Oh my God, the man I've always loved wept for me.'

Unknowingly, I pulled Andreas into my arms. I let his head rest on my chest. I stroked the tip of her head, just as a mother would do to her crying son.

"One thing I want to know. Do you like me?" My toot.

Andreas sat up straight and held both of my hands.

"I like you a lot. Although at the beginning of our meeting I only liked you as a sister. But as time went on, my liking turned into love. But it's not appropriate for me to express love to a 15-year-old little girl. So, I waited until my little girl turned a little more mature." Andreas Said.

"Do you love me?" I asked with courage.

"Velicia, would you like to start from scratch with me?" Andreas asked which kept me quiet.

"You don't have to answer now. I understand your feelings. Even though Arnold isn't the guy you used to like, but after 3 years of marriage, you must have a crush on him. You should know, at first I didn't want to get into your relationship like this. Because I think Arnold can change, but he just keeps hurting you. So, from today I say, I will not give up. I'm not gonna let him come near or hurt you again. But, back again. All the decisions I've left to you. If you allow me to get into your life, take care of you, and love you my way."

"Vellicia! Did I say it wrong?" Ask Andreas.

The second time he called my name. If he used to call me a little girl. My tears are flowing more and more.

"I'm sorry if it made you sad. Please don't cry anymore. You can reject me, it's okay. Don't force yourself, if you want to be together..."

I burst into his arms with a sob I said,

"I love you Brother, long ago and always will be. It's just that I misrecognized you. I love a man I used to call my sister. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. But honestly, I didn't have the courage to imagine it. Because I'm a woman who's been...."

"Sstt.... Shut up." Andreas interrupted my speech. "I want to enjoy this atmosphere." Andreas continued to tighten his embrace on me.

"I love you my little girl." Andreas said as he held my cheeks, our eyes clashed.

"I love you too Brother.... Andrew." My reply then closed my eyes.

I thought Andreas would kiss me with our position so close. All he did was make my cheeks turn red. Andreas pinched my nose, then kissed my forehead for so long. It feels warm and full of love.

"Don't go too fast. We've just officially been dating." Andreas' whispers in my ears made me feel even more ashamed.

I could have thought that Andreas would kiss me.

"Yahhh....!" Excited by trying to look annoyed and push him, even though it only closes my shame.

I turned my face away from her with such shame. Andreas grabbed my chin, then kissed me on the cheek.

"I'm not upset anymore about my little girl." Andreas said, which embarrassed me even more.

'Oh my God....'

Day after day passed quickly.....

Merry and Hansen's wedding is coming soon. Both sides of their families had already met to discuss all the preparations. Hansen, who only had a grandmother, mingled with the Merry family who came from the next town. They agreed to have a simple marriage at home.

Preparation for preparation is done quickly. I helped Merry prepare for her dream wedding all along. Merry has always said that she wants to get married wearing a dress that has a very long tail. And finally he made all his dreams come true.

I was so happy to see the happiness on my best friend's face.

My relationship with Andreas is going well. He treated me well. These days, he's been busy helping me prepare for Merry and Hansen's wedding.

And, what makes me feel more comfortable is, there's no more interference from Arnold. He seemed to disappear in the swallow of the earth. There's been no sign of him lately. That makes me very grateful. Because I thought Arnold would have let me go.

Seriate.....
