Love Aksara

69. Captives

Tian opened his eyes then smilingly stroked Ressa's cheeks, peeping for a long time on the forehead. "If you want to go. Go now, I've changed my mind. If you want to marry someone else, go ahead. I love you, Ressa. Titip my son."

After musing Tian relented, he could not selfishly hold back and make Ressa hurt with him.

"I don't want to be like that woman leaving you. I want to stay here as your prisoner. Let me be a foolish woman for choosing to live with this crocodile man."

Tian chuckled slightly hearing Ressa's words. He brought Ressa's body up, then hugged her very tightly. "Thank you you for standing by me, Honey."

Ressa only nodded small, realizing her folly of having a weak heart.

"Would you like to see?" Tian opened the gallery menu on his phone and showed it to his wife.

Ressa grimaced inwardly as she looked at the photo plastered on Tian's phone screen. True, Tian was the father of his nephew.

"She has long wanted to see you Tian" said Ressa smilingly hiding all the pain that was raining down on her.

"Why do you give me Deandra's name?" Ressa asked curiously at the tiny baby now in front of her.

"Let her father look the same, I hope that one day she can love him without hatred. Because this is not her father's fault" replied Aruna proudly.

"Why do you have to go Aru, if he's ready to take responsibility?" Ressa asked his older half-sister.

"I don't want to live with people I never loved Ressa. For me it was terrible, life was full of pretense. Qoute love is present because it's used to it being bullshit." Ressa could only sigh deeply, not understanding Aruna's thoughts.

"You know them?"

Tian's question awakens Ressa from her daydream, "famous. I'm the one who took care of Aru and accompanied Aru until giving birth."

The woman bit her lower lip, how she explained to Tian who Aruna was. And what if her husband often met Aruna, whether the seeds of love would bloom again.

"You know where they've been all this time?" Tian asked, he was like he was stuck in a vicious circle. What exactly is Ressa's relationship with Aruna, why are they so close. Ressa simply replied with a nod of her head.

Back Ressa nodded her head, she was the one who advised Aruna to go to Jakarta looking for Dea's father. Although until now Aruna never wanted to reveal the identity of the man who turned out to be her husband.

"What?" Urged Tian, he was already impatient to know what purpose Aruna appeared around him. For a dozen years, the woman disappeared as if swallowed by the earth.

"Finding Dea's father" said Ressa.

"Aruna who are you, Ressa?" Tanya Tian was a little emotional. Why did he get angry at his wife who didn't know anything.

"Father's son with his late first wife" replied Ressa, bowing her head.

Whahuh? So he has a son from his wife's brother. Tian massaging the dizzy temples.

"If you meet Aru, you don't have to say I'm your wife. I will be there as Aru's sister later," said Ressa argued.

"That's a stupid thought, Ressa. What if your mother's father knew I was the child's father. You'll think they took me from Aru."

"It's okay, you're free to choose between me or Aru. Meet Dea, she misses you so much." Ressa patted Tian's back gently to calm down. The worst possibility is that he must let go of Tian, because Aruna knows that Dea's father is not married.

Tian dyed the top of Ressa's head for a very long time to calm her soul. His right hand was stroking his wife's stomach. "I'm sorry you've messed up like this, honey."

Ressa stroked her husband's cheek gently, she did know the story of Aruna's version of how Deandra was born into a fatherless world. He could not blame Tian. It might even be Tianlah who was the most injured back then until now.

"No intention of taking a shower, honey?"

Tian shook his head softly, Ressa did know how to soften his heart, "if it was bathed plus-plus would."

Ressa glares sharply. Tian swept that face with his palm for Ressa's eyes to stop glaring. "The eyes will come out Honey, I don't want your eyes replaced with fish eyes. But if the cat's eyes can be tried." The next one who gets the love pinch.
