Exchanging Bride

Love Statement

Aldi and Kiara spent time joking with each other during the event. No one was staring at Kiara continuously until it created a sense of unease for Kiara. So Kiara is now free to talk to Aldi without worrying about the strange views of others.

Then the MC called Aldi to give a welcome as well as several announcements related to the company. Kiara did not take her eyes off Aldi from the moment she stood up from her seat to walk on stage until arriving on the podium.

'The handsome man on the podium who bewitched many people with his appearance was her husband, hers.' Inner Kiara.

"Good night. I just got the confidence to lead BLUE CORP. There is nothing I can promise you, the investors, business partners, or the board of directors who are here. All I can tell you is that I am the leader of this company because I am the rightful heir of the family. So believe me, as the owner of BLUE CORP, I definitely want the progress and development of my company in a better direction."

The applause of the invitations rumbled throughout the room. Kiara was among the most excited when clapping.

"Because of the many misunderstandings in the past, the Wiji Sasongko family was divided. But now Mike and I, my cousins, will work well together. Our younger generation of families will run this company until prosperity belongs to all who work in the company."

Again, applause was heard.

"Next, I want to tell you all about the most meritorious person I have been up here. He was the one who showed me that a cruel world should not be met with cruelty. His heart that loves to show kindness melts the coldness of my heart. I still owe him one thing. For that, I want to pay it off tonight as well."

Aldi was silent for a moment staring at the table where Kiara was. Everyone is silent. The silence awaited what Aldi would say next. A split second later, the lights in the entire Hall went out. But the next second there was a floodlight that highlighted one person.

Kiara was suddenly highlighted after the darkness that filled the Hall. He made his face look confused. The next second, there was a light lit on the floor in front of Kiara. The lamp formed a path at the end of which was Aldi standing by holding a bouquet of roses before him.

Kiara who saw that was eager to run over to the man who seemed to be standing waiting for her. Kiara stood up from her seat and walked slowly through the lighted path. Kiara steadily headed towards the direction Aldi was in. Kiara continued to look at the man she was waiting for with a loving look.

Aldi gave a bouquet of flowers in his hand. The red roses were very numerous and beautiful it was accepted by Kiara. With a big smile, Kiara hugged the bouquet that Aldi gave her.

"Thank you for being in my life." Aldi said it while kneeling before Kiara. Aldi's voice was heard throughout the Hall. Aldi was wearing a small microphone that made his voice go into Hall's loudspeakers.

"Thank you for making me the man in your heart. Thank you for showing me how you love someone sincerely. The sincerity I see in you makes me aware of my past mistakes when it comes to a woman."

Aldi then grabbed Kiara's right hand. She slowly kissed the back of Kiara's right hand and inhaled the scent on her skin while still kneeling before her.

"I, Rivaldi Ahmad Wiji Sasongko, the heir of the Wiji Sasongko family, made a promise in front of hundreds of people who are currently present. I promise to be a happy husband to my wife, Kiara Permatasari. I promise to give my world and its contents to him so that he will never lack anything in the world."

Kiara who looked at Aldi without blinking even listening to the words that Aldi spoke with a heart rumbled with the pounding of her heart.

"Kiara, my wife, I love you. Right now you are the only one who fills my heart. Until later I promise you there will be only you who occupy my whole heart. Until my last heartbeat, you're the only one I love."

The entire invitation that witnessed him was moved by the expression of Aldi's love for his wife. Everyone felt lucky to be present to witness the declaration of love of a young man who became the rich heir.

"All the sweet things you've said. I've run out of sweeter vocabulary than you, Al."

"You can express your love for your husband. Also tell me since when you've been in love." Aldi smiled broadly with his suggestion.

"Unfortunately I've expressed my feelings, Al. The stock of love statements for today is over." Kiara laughed in a short giggle.

"So your dose of love statement is only once a day, dear?"

"You could say so." Kiara grinned wide.

"okkey. I accept that. As long as I get it every day. I'll try hard to get your dose of love statement added."

"We'll see how far you're going." Kiara smiled sweetly.

"When have you loved me?" Aldi is still pursuing what he wants to hear from Kiara.

Meanwhile Kiara stared silently at Aldi.

"I've been getting jealous since I got a picture of you eating alone with an ex. It's because of that jealousy that you made me realize that I like you. But I suppressed that feeling. I'm afraid to love someone who's not my destiny anymore."

"Have you believed in my love for you?"

"I believe. Very trusting. I believe you love me so much and now I can't prevent our feelings. I love you too, Al."

Aldi, who had been on his knees since then, now woke up instantly. Then Aldi held Kiara into his arms before the eyes of all the invited guests present.

The entire Hall was bustling with rumbling sounds of applause once more. They are the average wealthy business people. Or also someone with a high position in the company. They rarely see the love statements of other rich people who are this romantic. In front of a lot of people like this. Those who applaud really pray that the couple who still embrace in the spotlight are happy with the love of their lives.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

Verlita, Bima and Bella witness Aldi's declaration of love to Kiara. He was not present at the show. Bima did not get an invitation. While Verlita who was invited because of her position at BLUE CORP was not present. Bella and Bima watched everything Aldi and Kiara said through their cell phones. While Verlita is still looking from the TV screen even though the screen has been cracked due to her own actions.

The three were just stunned staring at what they saw from the live broadcast. Only regret dominated their hearts. The biggest regret of their lives.
