I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU

I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU
Chapters 20.



Ruby who listened to the chronology of events saved by Richard Evander when he drowned in the sea off the coast of Inchydoney suddenly jolted because Ruby remembered again to his past.


" Swansen Wandani..! Is there a man who has always been in my dreams?" Ruby asked in her heart until she did not realize that Emma had finished her lunch and was washing dishes and glasses in the kitchen sink.


" Well, Sumiati thank you for your delicious lunch invitation. Now I have to go back to the hospital to work." Emma said, who also finished washing dishes and glasses in the kitchen, then said goodbye to Ruby who only answered with a nod.


Ruby recalls memories of her past where she was pushed by Devano from a very steep cliff near the villa area where Ruby and Devano spent the honeymoon there.


" Devano pushed me off the cliff until I fell and almost died from drowning in the sea off the north coast of Inchydoney so I was in a coma for a year and I was pregnant with Ziko..! Ah, it turns out that Ziko's real father is Devano's son of a bitch..!" Inner Ruby.


Ruby cried bitterly while hugging Ziko who was still sleeping comfortably. Tears fell from Ruby's eyelids until she didn't realize Richard had gone home from work and approached her in Ziko's room.


" Sumiati..! Why are you crying? Is there anything that makes you feel sad? " Tanya Richard crouched down in front of Ruby with a worried face.


"My name is not Sumiati Zevanya, Rich.But my name is Ruby Yolanda and my origin is from South Korea not Indonesia..!" Ruby answered on the sidelines of the rain crying to Richard.


" Do you remember your past all? Also your true identity?" Richard asked, looking at him.


" Yes, Rich. I've remembered everything and I even know that I've been married to a man who was Ziko's real father." Answer Ruby who immediately searches for her identity on a laptop screen on a small table in Ziko's room. Then, he found the complete bio on google which he then showed to Richard Evander.


" You're a Hollywood actress who comes from East Asia with a series of achievements that you have, well you've been beyond my expectations and Emma all this time. So, your name is Ruby Yolanda. So who is your husband ? Why isn't there a name on your google biodata list?" Richard asked Ruby inquisitively, though his heart ached because he now knew he was married to a married woman.


"Devano Wandani's. Obviously, he doesn't want the world to know that I'm his wife because he never loved me at all. He only wants an inheritance from his Grandfather on the condition of marrying me..!" Answer Ruby bitterly.


" Then do you love him?" Ask Richard who wished Ruby had said she didn't love Devano.


"Unfortunately..I love him even though he's been rude to me, Rich...I'm so stupid...!" Answer Ruby.


" Oh..! "


Richard stood covering his mouth by standing his back to hold back the pain in his heart knowing Ruby's love for Devano's answer.


" Rich, what do I think I should do now that I've recovered from my acute amnesia? " Tanya Ruby looked at Rich's strapping back.


" A..? What ? "


" I said you should forget it because you're married to me to be my wife now..! And, I don't want my extended family to know about your past and your identity...! " Richard answered, turning to face Ruby, who was holding both arms on the sofa.


"Rich..! Ou, have I hurt you so deeply with my memories of the past I've healed ? " Tanya Ruby looked guiltily at Richard.


Richard felt unable to answer Ruby with words from his mouth but he answered the innocent and innocent young woman with a smoldering kiss until Ruby gasped in shock.


" I'm so hurt that's for sure but I know you're completely innocent in this..! Because I'm the one who's been wrong to force you to marry me when you don't know who you really are..! Ah, let me endure this pain for you, Ruby Yolanda..! " Said Richard who continued his kiss on Ruby who felt asphyxiated by Richard's kiss.


" Rich..! " Call Ruby gently begging Richard to stop her kiss.


" Ruby is not here you are my Sumiati Zevanya..! If you feel guilty to me..! You have to do one thing for me..!" Said Richard releasing his kiss on Ruby's sweet lips and mouth.


" What's the one thing I have to do for you?" Ruby asked the subtle who imagined Devano Wandani in Richard Evander.


"Be your true wife..! I promise to help you meet your family back in Seoul, South Korea. I will also be a witness for you to be able to sue Devano Wandani who has been abusive and harmed you until you almost died in your state of being pregnant with her own child..! Then, you can be separated forever from Devano Wandani and his family. Then, you can return to the world of your artist who has always been the biggest dream in your life..!" Richard looked lovingly at Ruby.


" I can't be your real wife because I don't love you, Rich. We'd better get divorced to solve our problems and you can start a new life with another woman better than me..! " Said Ruby who still refused to fulfill Richard's request.


"I don't want a divorce from you, Sumiati. I'd go crazy if I had to lose you and Ziko..! I love you so much that I can never escape the bondage of my own love towards you, Sumiati..!" Said Richard who was no less stubborn.


"You..? You're as crazy as Devano Wandani..! I'm sick of you two..! " Said Ruby who brushed off Richard's two hands that were gripping both of his arms on the sofa then stood up to walk away from Richard as Ruby held Ziko.


However, Richard takes Ziko from Ruby who is aghast to see Richard distance himself from Ziko who is given to his nanny Ziko who immediately takes Ziko to another room at Richard's behest.


"Rich..! What the fuck are you? You can't be so selfish, dong?! You can't force me to obey your will ! Give Ziko back to me...! " Shouted Ruby who was trying hard to reach Ziko who was taken away by the nanny to another room at Richard's orders.


" Sorry, I have to use this way so that you can forget your past that you should forget forever so that you can get everything you want in your life that was stolen by Devano and family..! " Said Richard who got a fierce eye gaze from Ruby.
