CLEO & CASSANO (Love In Hospital)
CHAPTER 74
"I heard you just got back from Bali?" sandra asked when she met Kiano. Currently, Kiano is doing a photo shoot for the latest product from Sandra company.
"Yes" he answered.
"Why your face?" sandra asked, seeing that Kiano was not excited.
"I went there to see Cleo" she replied.
"Cleo's? She's in Bali?" Kiano nodded. "Did he work?"
"He's a honeymoon." Sandra choked on the water she was drinking. Kiano gave him tissue.
"Thank you." Sandra wiped the water on her chin. "Whatchu mean? Since when did he get married?" Sandra could not hide her surprise.
"I don't know for sure. Clearly, she's married to that bule doctor." Sandra coughed again.
"You mean, senior doctor in his department?" Kiano.
"Couldn't you? What the hell's going on? I knew they were mortal enemies." Hearing that Kiano stared intently at him.
"You know that bule?" ask Kian.
"Not really. But I've met him a few times. That too, when we were in school." Sandra stood up and took the mineral water located on the dressing table.
"That means you've known him for a long time?" Kiano looks curious.
"Not me, but Cleo" she replied. Sandra sat down in front of Kiano.
"Cleo?"
"I know he's from Cleo. They were like tom and jerry. Every time they meet, they fight. You can see, even today they still remain that way." he replied. Kiano fell silent, he did not expect Cleo and Andreas' relationship to have been formed for so long.
"But I feel like their relationship is not real. There was no happiness on Cleo's face." replied Kiano, Sandra just smiled faintly.
"I didn't know they were husband and wife either. But, we never know the future." After saying that Sandra stood up. Kiano was silent.
"But I won't give up!" Sandra turned around and looked at him. "I still want to fight for my love." she stared inside Sandra.
"But he's married!" Sandra reminded Kiano.
"But their marriage was forced. Cleo told me herself. So, I still have a chance." Kiano stood up and walked towards Sandra. "I won't waste the opportunity that came to me." after saying that Kiano came out of the room. Sandra could only stare at his disappearance.
"You never change. There was only Cleo in your eyes." Sandra's mind.

"Remember, if you ask, just say we're very happy there" Andreas said. They're on their way to Vincent's house. They just arrived in Jakarta 1 hour ago. Andreas decided to return soon because he had to attend the seminar. Cleo nodded, she was also unwilling to let her in-laws down.
They arrived at Vincent's residence. At 20:15 pm, Andreas believes his parents are still awake.
"Night, Ma, Pa!" greet Andreas when he saw them watching tv.
"Darling! Why are you here?" Jasmine hugged Cleo. "Isn't your honeymoon still one day away?" tanyakanya. They walked to the sofa. Cleo kissed Vincent's hand, then sat down next to Jasmine. Meanwhile, Andreas chose to sit on a separate sofa.
"Tomorrow I have a seminar, Ma." replied Vincent.
"You should put your wife first" replied Jasmine. "If this is the case, when will you be able to get close to him?" looks of disappointment on Jasmine's face.
"When? Tunggi mama's gone?" tanyakanya.
"Ma!!" Vincent.
"Ma!!" Cleo held Jasmine's hands gently.
"What's this mama talking about?" Andreas approached and sat down next to Jasmine. "Mama's gonna be fine. And believe that!" he said softly, while holding the other hand of Jasmine. Cleo looked at Andreas, only then did she see her husband being so gentle. His heart trembled, seeing Andreas' attention to his mother.
"You know, my mom's not much anymore. Mama wants to see my mom's grandchildren." Cleo was surprised, Andreas turned to her. They looked at each other in silence. It was all out of Vincent's sight.
"The time is also coming, Ma." replied Andreas.
"When, And?" Andreas hunchback. "Darling, would you like to fulfill your mother's last wish?" Jasmine demanded to Cleo. Cleo was confused as to what to say. He took the tea that the waiter had laid before.
"I told you, Mama doesn't have to worry. Right now, we're in the process of fulfilling mama's wish." Cleo chokes.
"Huk huk huk."
"Darling, are you okay?" jasmine asked who was sitting next to him. Jasmine took out a tissue and gave it to Cleo.
"Look! Mama put him to shame." - timpal Andreas. Cleo's face flushed red upon hearing Andreas say that. Cleo glared at him.
"really?" Jasmine looks sumringah. "You hear that, Pa?" Vincent smiled and nodded. "I'm so glad to hear that. I hope soon there will be a baby crying in this house." Jasmine hugged Cleo and Andreas together. The two lovebirds could only look at each other. Cleo with her grumpy gaze, while Andreas with regret.

"What are you doing?" cleo asked as they were on their way back to the apartment.
"What?" Andreas pretends not to understand.
"Why did you say that to Mom? Why did you give him false hope?" Cleo seemed to dislike Andreas' words earlier.
"I just want to make my mama happy" she replied, without looking at Cleo.
"Yes, but not by lying like this." Cleo said. Andreas parked his car in the apartment parking area.
"What's lying?" Andreas looked at Cleo.
"It's clear your dream will never be fulfilled. But, you said instead that it would happen. How long are we gonna let you live with false hope?" ask Cleo.
"Who said I gave you false hope?"
"You mean?" Cleo looked confused. Andreas opened his seatbelt, and leaned his body towards Cleo. Cleo held tightly to the seatbelt that was still attached to her body.
"I never said it was a lie. I never gave false hope to my mother either." Andreas gets closer, leaving Cleo cornered.
"I-I don't understand." Cleo lowered her head, when their distance was only a few centi.
"I dare say that, because you are my wife. So, it's your duty to fulfill all your mama's dreams." Cleo raised her head. They look at each other. Cleo could feel her heart pounding so fast.
"Be prepared! To fulfill my mother's wish, you will ask for my right. And, you must fulfill your duty. When it arrived, I made sure you wouldn't be able to resist it." after saying that Andreas opened the car door and left Cleo still riveted.
