Exchanging Bride

How are you feeling, Ra?

"Rest, Kiara. Let's continue this conversation in our room. I still have Daniel's business."

With the last sentence from Aldi, Kiara relented and left Aldi's study without a word.

Aldi did not say which room Kiara could occupy. So Kiara chose to go to the room where she woke up this morning.

There's something Aldi's hiding. Kiara was sure of that. Aldi must have had a reason not to tell him. Is it possible that Kiara was harassed last night by the masked man? Kiara felt the chill thinking about it. Has Aldi become a bit grumpy tonight because Kiara has been harassed?

The whole question revolved around Kiara. Makes Kiara more dizzy. Kiara finally fell asleep. Aldi who was expected by Kiara did not come until drowsiness mastered it.

Meanwhile, Aldi who was in the workspace with Daniel was angry.

"How could you not find anything regarding the ownership of the Villa!" Aldi yelled at Daniel. His eyes were quite sharp and frightening.

"Rubber, sir. The villa was just a rental. It has nothing to do with Ms. Adelia or the masked man."

"Alright, I just have one last way to find Aunt Adelia's whereabouts. Tomorrow we carry out the execution as well as the attack. Tonight prepare reliable bodyguards."

"Okay, Mr. Aldi." Daniel nodded.

After his dealings with Daniel are over, Aldi searches for Kiara. But did not find it in the master bedroom. Aldi tried to find the room where Kiara slept last night.

"aldi's "clek" entered Kiara's room without even knocking on the door. Aldi just walked in and approached Kiara already asleep.

"I'm sorry." Aldi suddenly kissed Kiara's sleeping forehead and looked at her calm face while sleeping. Satisfied looking at the woman, Aldi carried Kiara to the master bedroom. The rooms both.

After putting Kiara to sleep in the main bedroom bed, Aldi decided to take a bath first before lying down on Kiara's side.

As soon as he opened his clothes to take a bath, Aldi just realized there was a puncture wound. Aldi could not shower comfortably. For that Aldi wiped his body with a warm towel. Not to shower.

Finished with his short show of bath, Aldi wore a bathrobe when coming out of the bathroom. Looking for a nightgown in her wardrobe, then lying on Kiara's side.

Kiara herself had been awake ever since Aldi carried her to the master bedroom. But Kiara did not dare to open her eyes. Kiara is waiting for what Aldi wants to do or talk about when Kiara sleeps.

 "I know you're awake, Ra. Do you still want to talk about the matter?" Aldi slept on his side facing Kiara. Aldi stared intensely at Kiara who was still closing her eyes.

"How do you know I'm awake?" Kiara immediately opened her eyes and turned to the side where Aldi was looking at her.

"You underestimated my intelligence, huh?" Aldi chuckles.

"Of course I know you've been up since you were in my arms. I'm not that stupid you're a fool with acting that way."

"So you deliberately linger in the shower because you know I'm awake!" Kiara was annoyed. But then Kiara laughed at her stupidity pretending to sleep.

"Did I take a shower long enough?"

"Yes. Long time. I've been so sore about maintaining my sleeping position that you don't suspect."

"Haha. Sleep position is maintained. Mending here I hug." Aldi looks cheerful now.

"Is your wound okay dipake hurting me?" Kiara looked doubtful.

"Try if I'm going to be in pain or not." Aldi is still flirting.

"Then I won't get sick. Instead I will heal faster with your hug. Here I hug." Aldi finally grabbed Kiara. Cuddle him into his arms.

"I forgot not to say thanks. You've saved me from kidnapping and harassment." Kiara's voice sounded slow. Quite slowly until only Aldi can hear.

"Yes. It's my job to protect you, my wife." Aldi stroked Kiara's back.

"Can I ask you again?" Kiara looked up at Aldi's face.

"That means."

"What makes you so angry, Al?" Kiara let Aldi keep her.

Aldi. Thinking of the appropriate sentence to convey to Kiara.

"The masked man ran away, Worse, I still don't know his identity. I don't know who my enemy is. Aunt Adelia was also growing more vigilant. I can no longer trace his whereabouts or tap his cell phone."

"just that? " Kiara turned to look at Aldi. "Tell me what else makes you want to be mad every time you look at me."

"You were almost harassed by an unknown man, Kiara. I always want to be angry every time I remember that."

"What did he do to me, Al? If my clothes are messy, he's already done something to me, right?" Kiara began to understand Aldi's anger. Kiara must have been harbored by the man, Aldi will always be angry every time he remembers it.

There was anger in Aldi's gaze towards Kiara. Kiara's guess is right. The masked man had done something when Kiara was drugged. So angry Aldi saw the condition of Kiara when found, Aldi until unconscious when stabbed from behind.

"Forgot that, Kiara. That bad thing has passed." Aldi tightened his embrace towards Kiara. Hope this hug can dampen Aldi's anger and disappointment.

"I'm fine, Al. I'm more worried about you. You're the one who got hurt because of me. You always want to be angry considering the events of yesterday. How could I possibly forget it."

"I'm doing fine. You can't worry about me either." Aldi answered by holding Kiara.

"I still have questions." Kiara looked up at Aldi again.

"There's more? Ask me that."

"Tell me, why don't you go straight to the hospital? You're hurt bad, Al."

"The house is safer than the hospital. I don't want to risk being tailed by them and then you're taken back from my side when I'm unconscious in the hospital." Aldi stroked Kiara's cheek.

"Why do you always think of me first than your own salvation. What if your injuries are handled too late until something happens to you?" Kiara broke free from Aldi's embrace. Look at Aldi and wait for the husband's answer.

"Maybe because you can trust me to keep my heart and trust, Ra. Makes me dare to love a woman again." Aldi's gaze softened.

"So you love me, Al? Loving me?" Kiara wants to make sure and hear herself from Aldi's mouth a statement of love for her.

"Yes, I've fallen in love with you, my wife. Are you still not able to feel it?"

"Yes, I can always feel your affection. But I've never heard you express your feelings to me."

"I said it just now. How about your own feelings, Ra?"
