The friction of the day Eden looks quite guilty with Aciel. He didn't know if what he was doing was fatal enough that doctors had to re-surgery him at two in the morning to stop enough of Aciel's bleeding. According to doctor Edward the bullet wound tore through Aciel's back muscles, so it will be a little longer for his recovery. And this morning, before leaving the luxurious mansion owned by Aciel, the doctor had advised that Aciel did not move too much first so that the seams do not tear. And it managed to make Eden look down embarrassed at the old doctor because he was sure if the doctor must have known what caused the stitch on Aciel's back gaping.
“Hai.”
Eden waved his hand stiffly in front of Aciel who was lying quietly on the bed. The man was seen using the infusion hose again after last night he managed to forcefully remove it to visit Eden who was sleeping comfortably in their room.
“How are you?”
“Not better than yesterday.” replied Aciel soberly. The man then grabbed his phone and began to preoccupy himself with the tasks of his office that had been neglected during his illness. Although Sian had actually taken over everything, but he was still not satisfied if he did not check it himself.
“Have you eaten?” tanya Eden tried to pay attention. This morning he seemed to really feel guilty and wanted to make up for it all. But it seemed that Aciel was angry at him and did not want to see his face.
“But.”
“Do you want me to get you some food?”
“No need. Kim already put it there.”
Eden turned his head towards Aciel's index finger and he actually found a piece of food that had been prepared by the head of his beloved mansion. Her presence in the room was not necessary, she destroyed her own pride by acting pretentious in front of the arrogant man who had claimed to be her husband.
“Then I'll go.”
Eden finally broke off with her chin raised. He felt his pride had been shattered by now, and he swore he would not do so to Aciel. This was the first and last time in his life.
“Did I tell you to go?”
The cold-pitched bass voice stopped Eden's steps and made Eden turn his head for a moment. Make sure that Aciel is talking to him.
“You spoke to me?”
“Who am I talking to now? Come here, I haven't told you to go.”
Aciel told Eden to sit on the chair using her chin. While he arrogantly drowned himself again in the emails that piled up in the inbox of his phone.
“Which is right, you told me to sit here for thirty minutes just to watch you play mobile! Damn it! I'm not your mother to watch you play Mr Lutherford's cell phone!” eden cried out of patience after thirty minutes just snarling arrogantly with the command of Aciel who only told him to sit down without doing anything.
“You must stare at my face often because it will help to restore your lost memory, madam Lutherford.” replied Aciel casually while rubbing his thumb on the phone screen to see the next email that was waiting to be read. Meanwhile, Eden looks to have boiled with his anger that piled up to the crown of his head. Had Aciel not been ill, he might have clawed at the man brutally.
“Try to praise me rather than curse me miss Lutherford because I would rather see you use your beautiful brain to think about our lives.”
“Job! Do you just want to test me, huh?” shouted Eden irritatedly while clenching his whitened handbooks. Aciel casually put down her phone and asked Eden to get her food that Mr. Kim had prepared a few tens of minutes ago.
“Please get me my breakfast and bribe me because the doctor forbade me to do a lot of movement.”
Eden almost shouted in front of Aciel and threw the tray filled with food on Aciel's annoying face. But finally he chose to shut up and obey the man so that everything would be finished soon. If he continues to argue with the man, he will actually be made more arrogant because in fact the man is very cunning.
“Why don't you try to eat by yourself, isn't your hand okay.”
Eden deliberately placed the tray hard on the lap of Aciel until the soup that was still reflecting the thin smoke splashed on the clean blanket of Aciel. But unexpectedly, Aciel was not angry. The man only raised his eyebrows at a glance while forcing Eden to start bribing him.
“You must take care of me from this second so that I can recover soon. I can't keep lying in this room like a useless person and let Sian take over all my work. I can't trust Sian just like that.”
“Why can't?” eden asked in a defiant tone while stuffing a spoonful of soup into Aciel's open mouth. Aciel almost choked if he did not quickly control himself.
“This is a warning to you, lady Lutherford, if you can't be nice to me, then I will repay you more cruelly after I completely recover later.” perspiration Aciel upset while wiping his lips with a handkerchief. He then went back to his story about a friend he had considered like his own brother, Sian.
“I do not understand the relationship between the company and the status of Sian who does not have a partner.”
“Sian is not good at lobbying clients, it works too rigid to make some clients reluctant to invest their money when Sian makes a presentation.”
Eden nodded her head in understanding while putting a piece of chicken into Aciel's mouth.
“Ohh, now I understand. So your player's attitude turned out to be quite useful to attract your clients, so?”
“Even it is also useful to conquer you.”
Suddenly Eden was nervous, but he tried to divert it by looking at the cardiograph screen that displayed the steady rhythm of Aciel's heartbeat.
“Tell me what happened before I forgot memory.”
“What do you want to know?”
“Whatever, but you might be able to start from something that is impressive to you.” replied Eden gave a suggestion. Aciel smiles sweetly at Eden and begins to tell her what little of Eden's past has been most memorable for her.
“The most impressive thing in my life when I saw you dancing wildly in a club. At that time you looked the most striking because you were still fresh, like a fish that had just come from the sea. But that's right because you're not actually a club resident, there's something that causes you to change
being wild. The first time I saw you dance I was impressed. Whether it was a form of admiration or liking, but I always remember that night as one of the most unforgettable memories among others. I never thought that you could turn into a deadly black swan after you were just a plain and shy white goose.”
“But how can you like me and want me to be your wife? Is not our age far enough, even far away? And I think you can definitely find a lot of women better than me out there.”
“There has never been a better than you Eden, never was. And about how I like you? I don't know myself either. Suddenly the feeling came up until I felt confused to handle it. I can't take that feeling out of my heart. The more I tried, the more I was destroyed. And the highlight was when you left me with a false hope that made me explode. Ed...” Aciel let out a heavy sigh on the sidelines of his long story. He then looked at the deep round bead of Eden and resumed his story that was too much to tell. “Before this you have done many things to me. Our story will certainly be very long to tell because in that story not only we are the main character, but there are also Zyan and your other damn pests.”
Eden scrunched his forehead confused and suddenly he became angry at himself because his head absolutely could not be used to remember anything that had happened during her life. “I cannot remember any Ace, I cannot! I can't remember Zyan who Anthony said died a few years ago. What should I do Ace, ak me.. i. arrghh!” erang Eden was frustrated as she grabbed her hair. Aciel swiftly stopped Eden's movements by hugging the woman tightly.
“Slow Eden, slowly. Don't push yourself too much. Do you want to know what makes you different from the women I've met so often?” aciel asked gently while still stroking Eden's head. He is now trying to divert the attention of Eden from the memories of his past that have been lost from the
his memory. And Aciel's words seemed to work, as evidenced by Eden's next question that made Aciel immediately smile happily. “What? Tell me.”
“That's because I saw your eyes.”
“My eyes?” re-eden did not understand. Suddenly, Aciel stared intently at her bead while stroking her cheek gently.
“You have a sincere look that no woman has. Even though I lost it for a few years, but I finally managed to get it back with all the love you have.”
Eden stared at Aciel's bead of eyes which implied that solemnity with teary eyes. For some reason after hearing Aciel's voice of sincerity, his heart trembled and felt sore. He thought his heart had recognized Aciel as his life partner. But the brain that held all sorts of memories was still reluctant to open up to Aciel, so all he could do now was cry for no apparent reason. He just wanted to cry for the man.
“Eden, do you love me?”
Eden just closed her lips tightly without any intention to answer Aciel's question. And in the next two seconds Eden felt her lips softly pulverized by Aciel. The man kissed her feelingly without hurting her the slightest bit like the days before. He finally chose to close his eyes while replying to each of Aciel's words with a stiff lip movement.
Yes, I love you, Aciel....
Aciel opened his eyes slowly and found the room where he was being treated looked pitch-black. He then raised his stiff hand to remove the oxygen mask that felt stuck on his face. With a slight daze he turned his head to the right and left. But what he was looking for was nowhere. The room where it was treated was also very clean, like nothing had ever happened there, though he was sure that before Eden was there and they had joked with excitement to make the sides of the sheet that was sticking on the bed tangled.
“So is it just a dream?” aciel whispered in the empty air. But as if unwilling to dissolve in his sadness, Aciel chose to immediately forget everything and closed his eyes again to calm his heart that was struggling because of Eden.
“Although it is only a dream though, it will still be beautiful to remember.”
