Behind the Rain and Memories

57. Dilemmas

Alina could not resist when Max took her to the hospital and met with the physiotherapist to check her legs. Hearing the Doctor's explanation, Max was stunned. How not the girl has never done therapy since returning to Indonesia. There was a shift in the pen that was installed making the girl often feel pain until now.

Max is angry because Alina does not care about his health, but the tears that flow in Alina's cheeks make him heartless. Enfolded her the girl in a hug.

Her heart was slashed as soon as Alina said the reason behind her current state. The devastated economy plus the family problems they face make Alina no longer selfish. Feeling that she was the family's property was gone, so Alina was determined to work hard to restore the situation.

Max choked, not until the heart imagined Alina who used to be fine life, had to bear such a burden.

" Married to me Al, we're going to America to treat your feet, there the technology is very modern, in a few months you'll be able to run, "Pinta Max really. holding Alina's hands.

For a normal woman, of course, the request will make her soar, but Alina thinks about her situation, she should not be selfish on the other side of her family still desperately need her presence. Who's gonna help Audrey if she's not around.

" I'm not ready Max, I can't leave Mom and Audrey, "

Max knows what's on Alina's mind, not just family but other underlying things. Especially if it is not about the descendants.

" Audrey need not think about it, we can hire people to help catering, or if you want to work, the office managed by Adrian is in need of financial staff, "

Alina was silent and didn't know how to explain.

" Hey, don't shut up, baby, one yes answer from you, all the problems will be solved, there's nothing to worry about, "Max is trying to convince.

Alina still had no voice, her countenance was agitated.

" Or something else I don't know, "ask Max probing even though he already knows, he wants Alina to say it herself.

Alina let out a heavy breath.

" We can't possibly marry Max," her voice sounded quivering, holding tightness in the chest.

" Because you're being convicted it's hard to come down, isn't it? "

Alina looked at Max with a surprised look "how do you know Max? "

" It doesn't matter, the most important thing is whatever your circumstances I don't care, I don't expect anything from you except your love, and that's enough" Max said sincerely.

Alina shook her head, "That's just Max's bullshit, the first year might not matter, the second, third year, will slowly change, you will feel lonely, you will feel lonely, not to mention the demands of the family as well as the questions of everyone, "

The girl smiled bitterly.

" So that's my judgment in your eyes Alina? "say Max with a deep sadness.

" I don't mean to compare you to anyone else Max, but every marriage is a hereditary goal, and I'm not the right person to accompany you, I can't give you a child, "

" Household happiness is not only because of the presence of Al's children, many have children but the household is destroyed. It matters how we love each other, accept each other's advantages and disadvantages, be grateful for what we have, it's more than enough Al, "

Alina confirmed what Max said, only the doubt in her was so hard to beat.

" What if it turns out that I can't have children either, can you accept me? "

Max turned things around.

Behind his cold attitude towards people, Max has wisdom in dealing with circumstances. He is very reliable in his family.

" I want to get married before I go to America because I want us to live together so we can focus on medicine, you don't want us to be lazy. Resisting the urge not to touch you is difficult Al, however I am a normal man, " Max said with a meaningful smile.

Alina understood everything Max said,

" Will I think about Max, give me some time? " alina said ending the conversation that day, Alina's doubts disappointed Max. On the way home, man

it no longer speaks. Even he did not come down when Alina got home.

Alina felt guilty, she ventured to kiss Max's cheek before getting out of the car.

" I'm sorry, "he whispered. But Max did not flinch.

" You're okay dear, if you resign, then who will hold the company!" adinda is full of emotion. I don't understand her husband's mind.

" I can no longer cover up your papi's problems, it's enough that Max thinks I'm not being so, I'll explain all the truth to Max and his family, too, "

She understands Bryan's fatigue. The mistake that papi made had to be borne by Bryan so that Max would invest in the company when their company almost collapsed.

Journalists have in recent years been involved in high-class gambling. At first he always wins but gradually he loses to spend all the company money at the hot table. He finally realized once the company declared bankrupt. Max saves the hard-earned company and appoints Bryan as the person in charge even if their relationship is not good, Max remains professional for the sake of Adinda and her family.

The company is progressing, but again Hartawan act, he again uses company money to gamble with a myriad of excuses to make Bryan can not be evaded.

And once there was an internal meeting yesterday, Max found many transactions that were not important in financial flows. As the only shareholder, of course, Max asked that and held Bryan as CEO accountable, unfortunately the meeting failed because they were stuck in traffic.

Despite the delay, Bryan believes Max will come back to find him. For that he has decided to return all assets of the Hartawan company and return to work with Leo in Mega Buana.

" Love me time to talk to papi dear, please do not do this now, after the tender in Bali we won, finances will improve, we repeat again from the beginning, "persuade Adinda.

Bryan shook his head, his decision was already unanimous.

"I'm tired, not only of the company I'm thinking about, I'm also investigating who framed us for that fateful night that got us all in one bed, "

Adinda was flabbergasted by Bryan's attitude, even after the age of their children turned 3 years old, her husband was still thinking about the incident.

She laughed sarcastically, "Are you sure?"

Bryan nodded for sure.

The younger sister again voiced her discordant laughter,

" For what? have you never heard of so-called destiny? " Apart from the mistake of one night of course what happened between them was already outlined.

Bryan looks stupid, after all the big decisions he made that time, he still questions his way of life. But want to how else her feelings for Alina can't she release and she will take a big decision for it.

" I don't think it's just papi's behavior, but it's also about your past that isn't over, right? "guess the woman was bitter.

Bryan did not refuse, it's up to Adinda to say anything, because indeed he deserves a diatribe.

" I'm sorry, but don't blame Alina, she doesn't even know anything, I feel wrong, " Bryan said honestly, she doesn't want to lie anymore, just let everyone know what it is.

If only he had dared to be as honest as he is now with Alina, maybe the story would have been different.

Of course Adinda does not blame Alina, because the girl is the real victim, but as a wife who has tried hard to make her husband love her tucked into jealousy, what makes her so different from Alina, the girl is even loved by the two men she loves so much. It all seems unfair.

" I think I can replace Alina, all my efforts are in vain" complained Adinda Nelangsa

Bryan approached the languidly seated Adinda. He gathered himself before the woman who had been with him for several years, grasped both hands and stared into the bead of eyes.

"I'm sorry, I love you too, but the feeling doesn't develop, I'm not a good man, you deserve to be happy, "

" What happiness is still there, all the men I love love love other women, I feel bad not being able to make others love me. "

" It's not so din,"

" Enough Bryan, don't have to advise about feelings, after you know who was behind the incident that night, what do you want? hold her accountable so that she turns back the clock or you do have other intentions, " said Adinda wipe her tears.

Bryan was confused,

" I don't know, either, "

Adinda shook her head.

" You are like a man with no stand, but one thing you must remember, never think of divorcing me, whether you want to love me or not, but I'm not gonna let you ruin my sister's relationship with Alina, I'm gonna do what you never thought Bryan would do before" Adinda said, emotionally riveting Bryan.
