I Love You



"I'm sorry, Bas. Until now I have not been able to be a good wife for you," said Amanda bowed sluggishly.


"I'm sorry, for not being able to fulfill my responsibilities as a wife" she said


Hearing the words of his wife, made Bastian feel unbearable. He quickly grabbed his wife's tall and large body, bringing her into his arms.


"Hey, don't talk like that. It's not your fault, Manda. No one deserves to be blamed" he said amusedly


"The purpose of marriage is to obtain offspring. But that doesn't mean we do it in a hurry. It's not a race, there's no time limit to get it,"


There was no response from Amanda. Just a small sobbing that slowly began to sound clearly. The woman was crying, clearly visible with her shoulders beginning to shake. Make Bastian tighten his arms, and stroke his wife's back, trying to drain the power.


"You calm down, don't blame yourself. I'm also sorry, I can't be a good husband to you" he said.


Bastian remembered on the first night of their marriage. Right inside the room they were currently occupying. How he made a bad impression on the woman who is now his wife. When there is no love for the woman.


"You look at me" he added, then put his hands on his wife's face. Leading the woman, he looked at her


"I love you, really! I don't know since when the taste was there, I don't know. All I know now is that I'm comfortable around you,"


"I don't want to see the woman I love, after my mother cries! Don't be sad anymore, we're going through all this together" he explained


Although it seemed rushed and unprepared, but now Bastian felt relieved. Because he has managed to express his feelings to the woman he currently loves.


"I'm sorry, I can't string up sweet sentences for you" she said, rubbing Amanda's cheek, wiping the clear liquid running down her face


Hearing every word Bastian said, able to warm Amanda's heart. He never expected, Bastian would express his feelings to her. This was what he was waiting for, certainty for his heart.


Soon Amanda sprang back in her husband's arms. She was crying, but this time, crying because she was too happy. The burden that had fallen on his head, now vanished. Replaced by happiness, which is matchless.


"I love you too, Bastian!" continued


The two people were dissolved in a happy mood. Finding the person we love who loves us is a happy thing. There is nothing more beautiful than being loved and loved. So that night, became a loving night for both of them, after a long time together in a relationship without certainty. There is no doubt in each other's hearts.


"I love you, Manda,"


"I love you, Bastian"


Finally tonight they spend time adoring each other, longing for, and expressing a love that has been hidden. Tomorrow will be better, because now the heart is no longer alone.

"Well, what's going on. It seems I missed something" Ella said when she reached Amanda's study.


This time Amanda looked nothing like usual. His face was as radiant as his heart, which was being happy. Not only Ella, all the Opportunity Group employees who met her were also amazed by the change of their superiors.


"Hey, what's wrong? Tell me, there's no secret between us,"


Amanda did not answer, only responded with a smile, then refocused on her work.


The world doesn't need to know how much you love it. It's just you and him
