Love at the End of Time

Chapter 31

Swim

 

As he emerged from the water for the next time, Maisara was surprised to see someone standing arrogantly by the side of the pool, keeping both hands at his waist.

“You? Ahk ... that's right .. are you here?”

“You?” ask the woman showing a dislike facial expression, “Ahk ... which is true ... are you here?” he said again, he was Raina who deliberately came because he was very curious about Harlan. He looked at Maisara who had just emerged from the pool in annoyance.

Raina comes to Harlan's house because she is curious, it has been more than a week that the man has not appeared in the company. Apart from missing him, he also wanted to talk about something.

 Raina has never been taken seriously by Harlan. Although, only she is a person who is appreciated by her presence and allowed to freely visit the house, but Raina is still just a friend.

Their two families were close friends since long ago, their father was very familiar. Once Raina gets to know Harlan as a teenager, the girl wants them to be betrothed. Like the habits of other business people who match their children, with the children of company partners in establishing cooperation.

Indeed, as it is usually, the business people behave, they will match children as successors of cooperation, for the sake of the sustainability of a business or the course of their business. Invite each other in matchmaking and also stock collaboration and so on. They argue such matchmaking efforts, to maintain glory, and the family remains in a dynasty of the most influential people in the city.

But it turns out that Raina's desire this time is wrong, because both her parents and Harlan's parents, both do not want to match their children. Different principles that make the absence of matchmaking.

“Dad, don't you want to match me up with Harlan like everyone else is setting up the kids of their best friend?” raina asked her parents at the time. His father and mother only smiled widely and then patted his back gently.

“Do you like it?” raina's mother replied at the time.

“Of course, who doesn't like Harlan, he's handsome and who is certainly rich, he's the heir of Mahespati isn't he?”

“If you like him, just tell him who knows he likes you too and you can get married because of your own feelings, not because of our coercion!” sahut the father.

The second principle of Raina's parents is that children's feelings are not something of a business nature until they free the children, to find their own partner. Therefore they did not match Harlan with his son.

Since knowing the principle of his parents, Raina still continues to approach Harlan, because she loves him. He was often friendly, although the man never responded, and he never cared whether Harlan had other lovers or not, had a distorted orientation or not ... the important thing for him is, as long as it can be spoiled, then it is enough to be an honor. Who wouldn't want to be such an amazing male escort like the owner of Mahespati Industries.

Raina herself does not know why Harlan is so cold with most women. Many eyewitnesses from close friends he knew and family including all of his bodyguards and assistants said so.

But knowing now that Harlan is marrying Maisara, he hates her. Raina can still be grateful, because their marriage was not announced to the public. He understands why Wendy did it, because at that time Harlan was still paralyzed.

Raina herself never appears before Wendi, and the middle-aged woman reluctantly asks her to become a wife to her crippled son. Of course, he is also not good with the Raina family if they have to marry their favorite Princess, with a man who is condemned soon to live in the world.

Not only Raina but everyone at that time was disappointed, why Harlan who was known to be handsome and strong, and had good performance in all fields, could experience a situation so bad.

Once Raina had met Wendi in the hospital, when she delivered her mother to treatment, she never intended to see Harlan for a second. He thought it was useless to see a man who could not see him.

“Sorry Aunt Wendi, I can't look at Harlan, I don't have the heart to feel, and I'm sorry why she went through something so bad..” Raina spoke while shedding tears.

“No problem, Rai .. You don't have to bother looking, better find another man who can love you well, don't risk your pride by marrying a dying man like my son!” wendi said sadly, at that time he looked very desperate with Harlan's recovery.

“Yes, Auntie, no one expects bad things to happen in life, I just’a kindness for you!”

“Thank you, maybe it's like this is still Harlan,” said Wendi while imagining what happened to her son.

That time, after going for a week with friends at the summit, Harlan was found unconscious in his hotel room. On the previous night they spent time enjoying the food and drinks native to the area.

Some friends then took the frail body straight to the hospital, and how shocked they were when they found out that Harlan had almost died of poisoning. However, due to the strength of his body he was able to endure, and the poison was only able to make the entire muscles in his body weaken. That's what makes him paralyzed.

Wendi who loves him, certainly does not want his son to not be in vain. The woman is looking for the best doctor, so many efforts are done by giving him therapy and anti-poison drugs. All had already been injected into his body and therefore he was able to survive.

After entering the phase of more than a year of treatment and therapy, the doctor who handled Harlan said, “If another month Mr. Harlan can not receive any liquid that enters his body, it is certain, he said, The master will soon die."
