Exchanging Bride

You seem to love me very much

Kiara saw Aldi sitting leaning against the long chair at the edge of the garden. Unlike Kiara who was enjoying a snack this morning at the round table near the pool.

"Al." Kiara greeted Aldi while sitting just like that in the chair that Aldi occupied. Kiara chose to sit to the left of Aldi. Even though his right side is empty.

Seeing Kiara beside him, Aldi just turned his head for a moment without returning his greeting.

"I'm sorry, Al." Kiara slowly placed her right palm on top of the two Aldi hands that were linked to each other.

Aldi looked down at Kiara's hand holding her hand. Kiara's hands were warm on her skin.

"Did I curb you too much?" Aldi's face was sad. There was no longer a trace of that anger before when it was still at the dining table.

"I'm..." Kiara could not answer. Kiara herself did not feel constrained. But saying that he felt free was not.

"I'm sorry. You got involved in a kidnapping because of me." Aldi looked down sadly at Kiara's hand which was still holding her hand.

"You mean?"

"Auntie Adelia did it." Aldi is now staring at the swimming pool whose water is so calm.

"Can you show me a photo of Aunt Adelia?"

Aldi pulled out his phone and tapped a few times. Then give her phone a photo of Adelia on her screen.

"This is the woman who ran into me at the Mall when I was eating. He's with a man." Kiara tried to remember.

"Do you know who that guy is? Could it be that the masked man was the man she was with at the Mall yesterday?"

"Yes. It's most likely him."

"You didn't catch the abuser?"

"No." There was anger in Aldi's gaze.

"I'm more wrong, Al. I forgot your warning of danger on the outside." Kiara squeezed out Aldi's hand which she still held.

"Today I want to give you a surprise. The Daniel I sent to tell you that you were ready to wear this dress last night. But I'm surprised to be back with you." Aldi looked at Kiara.

"I've received this dress and worn it, Al."

"It wasn't her dress that was a surprise, Kiara." Aldi looks anxious.

"Then?"

"This house is the surprise. I want you to stay here early. Yesterday I was busy preparing for the condition of this house. I thought you'd be safe at the hotel. Not sending a single bodyguard. But what's going on? I'm still miscalculating and less careful."

"Don't blame yourself anymore, Al. Everything is my fault. I don't even know where to be and where to be if you don't come to save me." Kiara leaned her head against Aldi's left shoulder. Inhaling her husband's scent.

Aldi stroked Kiara's cheek with his right hand. While his left hand was still holding onto Kiara's hand.

Feeling Aldi's attitude began to soften, Kiara was impatient to hear the continuation of the story of his rescue from yesterday's kidnapping.

"Tell me how you saved me yesterday, Al. Why haven't I been so unconscious for so long?"

"I traced Aunt Adelia's whereabouts from her cell phone. I'm sure Adelia had something to do with you being missing. Because you met at the Mall. Unfortunately the face of the man with whom I could not recognize. He seemed to understand where the CCTV was so that he could avoid facing all the CCTV he encountered."

"Was the masked man who kidnapped me?"

"Yes. I'm sure he's the one."

"Say what happens next." Kiara was still leaning on Aldi's shoulder.

"I'm tracking his whereabouts outside the city. Then go after him yourself without waiting for Daniel or the guards."

"The signal stopped somewhere several times. But I'm still on a long way from Jakarta. But thanks to him stopping a few times, finally my distance is the same he's getting closer."

Kiara saw that Aldi's hand was now tied to his.

"Just like that?" Kiara did not expect Aldi to be able to get it easily.

"Yes. How else would you like?" Aldi looked at the swimming pool in front of him.

"What about Aunt Adelia and the masked man?"

"The masked man was gone when I came. Maybe I ran away first or I ran away after my arrival."

Aldi. Kiara felt like there was something Aldi was hiding.

"Do you know why I'm in such a hurry to get you to move here even though we shouldn't be able to occupy it yet?"

"Tell me why." Kiara answered flatly. Kiara is still thinking hard about her rescue story from a kidnapping that feels awkward.

"Because of this pool and flower garden."

Instantly Kiara who from earlier leaned on Aldi's shoulder immediately sat up straight staring at the swimming pool.

"What do you feel when you stare at him in such a quiet state at night?" Ask Aldi.

"Like the atmosphere of a lake where I unraveled my confusion and shed my sorrow." Kiara just realized this.

"I don't want you to be sad, Kiara. I want you to be happy and calm by sitting by the pool like this." Aldi looked at Kiara. Caressing her beautiful wife's smooth cheeks.

"You're so good with me Al." Kiara looked at Aldi.

"of course. You're my wife." Answer Aldi briefly.

"Aren't you angry with me anymore?"

"Do I look angry?" Aldi did not want to admit his stupidity which was immediately angry as he spoke to Kiara at the dinner table.

"Yes. You look angry. It also looks very frustrating. Are you so afraid of anything happening to me?"

"Do you still need answers?" Aldi did not answer.

"Yes. You're like that, Al. You seem to love me very much." Kiara stared incessantly at Aldi and waited for what Aldi would say.

But the time between the two of them must be interrupted by the arrival of a servant whom Kiara does not know.

"Excuse me, young master. There's Mr. Daniel waiting for the young master in the living room." This servant interrupts at an inopportune time. Kiara was very upset.

"alright. I'll see him." Aldi felt saved from responding to Kiara's words. Aldi quickly goes out to meet Daniel and leaves Kiara feeling very upset.

"Excuse me young lady. The young master advised that the lady rest in the room if she was tired of sitting here. If miss already wants dinner, we'll serve it." Irma now came after Aldi went to see Daniel followed by another maid.

"Is your young master telling me to eat?"

"Yes, miss." Irma now did not seem to be looking down in fear like all day.

"Tell me how I got to this house last night with Aldi!" Kiara gave the order. His tone firmly does not want to be denied or rejected.

"A.. What does she want to know?" Irma looked nervous. Kiara is getting suspicious.

'What happened last night? Why would Aldi cover something from her.' Kiara is getting curious and feels like she has to figure out all the things related to her kidnapping.
