Between Love and Obsession

ACDO Chapter. 40

Chapters. 40

It was as if she was playing the role of Henry Adiswara's wife. That's how Areta feels right now. Down the stairs while holding hands actually feels strange and awkward for him. His new status was not even acceptable.

However, circumstances forced him to accept his new status and role. There is no love in it.

The sweet smile engraved clearly on Henry's face saw Areta's graceful look in a long green tosca short-sleeved dress she bought overnight, with Hera's help. Because if you look around, Areta and Hera have almost the same posture. Starting from body shape to height was almost similar.

Not only the dress, complete with twists and turns to his underwear was bought by Hera. And it turns out the size that Hera bought is very fitting in Areta's body.

Areta smelled a smile as soon as she landed the pantatt on the dining table chair. Replying to the welcome Agatha's friendly smile was best for her.

Taking a seat next to Areta, Henry just took off his hand.

"Wah wah waaah... How lovely his new bride is." Agatha teased, staring anxiously at her son and daughter-in-law. Just now he was happy, feeling complete to have a son-in-law, rumors of birds began to perch. Brings news that disturbs his calm and disrupts his happiness. That's why he wanted to make sure of himself directly.

Agatha did not want to believe the news of the bird she received this morning. But he also cannot ignore it. Because frankly, Henry's request to have a marriage in private made him wonder.

"Oh yes, because today Mama wants to meet with Mama's friend who has WO Orchid, so Mama wants to know, how about your response to the wedding reception. The plan is that you want to use your friend's WO for your wedding reception. How's it?" connect Agatha.

Making the movement of Areta's hand that was about to take bread was stopped. He gave no response, he kept silent. Because he did not like when his marriage with Henry was held lively. He just didn't want Rosa to know about her breakup with Angga.

He knew that one day he would have to explain to Rosa. But now is not the right time for Rosa, considering the health of the little girl's heart may be disrupted when he heard the news of the separation of his father and mother.

Henry understood Areta's feelings at this moment. For this reason, he agreed when Areta asked for a wedding to be held behind closed doors and there was no wedding reception. Although he actually wants everyone to know that Areta has now become his.

"Emmm... Sorry Ma's. Areta and I didn't want to have a reception" Henry said, relaxed, as if he had nothing to hide.

Agatha nodded slowly, obeying Henry. He did not want to force his will even though he really wanted to hold a reception for his youngest son. This happy news should be known by many. In order not to invite confusion and misunderstandings later on.

But obeying does not mean letting. Agatha had many questions about Areta and Henry's relationship. Moreover, the news of the bird he received was very disturbing. Even he did not accept, how could his beloved son, who became proud of him, even married a widow with one child.

Agatha acknowledged that ever since Henry took over the leadership of Dreams Food, the company has grown tremendously. His growth rate was incredible under Henry's control. Dreams Food not only managed to seize the local market, Dreams Food even began to penetrate foreign markets. The high foreign market demand figures make Dreams Food do a massive production this year.

Seeing from the success of Henry, it is likely to foster feelings of envy for his competitors. So that the unpleasant news that reached him was likely just an issue that was deliberately raised by people who did not like Henry.

Might as well.

"May you know why?"

Henry glanced at Areta for a moment, who looked awkward. The finger of Areta, grasping it tightly. Try to give him comfort through touch.

"I can't tell Mama why. But for sure, I'm not going to do anything that makes my wife uncomfortable" he said, tightening his grip. Areta is trying to pull her hand.

"Well, not comfortable why? Is there something you're hiding? Because frankly, Mama wants your wedding to be held festively. Mama also wants to show off her daughter-in-law to her friends. Moreover, you are the only son of the Adiswara family's successor. Of course Mama wants everyone to see this Mama's son has found his best mate."

"Later on, Ma. For now I haven't thought about that. There's still a lot of work to be done. And Areta understands that. Hence, he did not demand anything from me at all. Including the wedding reception. It's just a celebration, we can do it later if I have time." Henry berkilah's. Didn't want Agatha to keep reminding me about the reception. Because there are things that Agatha does not know, one of them is about Henry's vile ways of getting Areta.

Agatha nodded. "Yes, if that's what you want."

Incredibly awkward, that's what Areta felt was at one table with Agatha. He just felt insecure about being in the middle of the Adiswara family. Which in fact is a distinguished family. While she was just the woman Henry married because of the deal. He really hoped Agatha would not approve of their marriage. So that he can make it as an excuse to miss the deal.

However, everything has already happened. Henry has even spent a sum of rupiah to finance Rosa's operation as well as Rosa's ongoing maintenance costs. To keep the worst from happening to Rosa, she cannot escape Henry. Because if he doesn't, he has nowhere else he can go to for help. Only Henry was ready to pour whatever money he needed. Let's just say, he's pawning his life right now.

Areta took a slow breath. He let Henry hold his fingers. At least Agatha would think if they loved each other.

...

"Rosa was so happy that Mama came here." Rosa sumringah, smiling happily when Areta came to visit her at the Wirda residence.

The little girl slammed into her mother's arms, spilling haru also longing in her mother's arms. For a few days he missed his mother.

"Mama was also happy to meet Rosa," Areta replied as she broke into a hug.

"Oh yeah, how's Rosa doing? Still like no breathlessness?" tanyakanya.

"Slightly, if Rosa is any more sauces."

"Well, what did Rosa do? How come you're tired?"

"Help Oma nyiram plant."

"Rose... Rosa knew that Rosa could not be tired. So Rosa doesn't have to do anything. Rosa was a child after all. Rosa's job is to just play and play. But remember, play also do not get tired. Hm?"

Rosa smile.

"Oh yeah, why does Rosa and Papa live in Oma's house? Why our home? Why don't you stay with Rosa and Papa here? Are Mama and Papa fighting again?" ask Rosa later.

Which makes Areta evil. He knew this would happen. Rosa will question the irregularities that occur. Rosa is just a child who does not understand the problems between adults. But not necessarily a child as small as Rosa becomes a victim of adult selfishness.

"Emm..." Areta is confused about choosing the right sentence to answer the little girl's question.

"Our house is being renovated, baby. And Mama's on a beauty course out of town. Mama can't stay with us." Suddenly Angga came and answered Rosa's question.

The lie-clad explanation from Angga was so reliable Rosa. So for now Areta can be free from the burden. Because he will not be strong if he has to lie to a child as small as Rosa. But what's more, the situation is forcing.

"I came here to pick up Rosa." Areta said when Angga invited her to chat together on the porch of the house. While Rosa asked to rest in her room.

"Can't, Areta. Rosa will stay here with me and my mother." refused Angga, breaking the decision she had taken herself some time ago before the divorce.

Makes Areta inflamed instantly.
