Marrying my Nanny

Chapter 18

Three days passed just like that, Ara still looked glum, she seemed to have no energy to just smile. He almost never ate, he would only eat when the aged butler was constantly persuading him, making Ara uncomfortable and forced to take some food bribes from his plate, the rest of Ara would just sit on the balcony of her room glaring away at the sky of the horizon, as if looking for a place in this world that could make her feel calm and peaceful. But in reality such a place does not exist in the life of Ara.

The pain all over his body may have disappeared, but his heart was still so sore, he did not hate doing it with Hansel that he regretted was why Hansel had to do it so harshly, he said, making Ara really feel like a completely worthless toy.

In these three days, all the messages and calls only came from Gisel and Johan. They kept asking Ara for the situation, like they were afraid that Hansel would kill Ara in a forest and leave Ara's body to eat the beast.

Ara could only reason that she was sick, but it was not entirely a lie, even the pain in her heart did not go away.

The sun began to shine dimly, saying goodbye to the contest, after two consecutive days of relentless rain. And now it was the moon's turn to greet Ara who was still reluctant to pass from her place.

The cold air that forced Ara to rise from her seat, rubbed her arms quickly to slightly expel the increasingly piercing chill.

Ara immediately changed her clothes in pajamas, preparing to just lay down her body, whether she would sleep or not, she did not know. After the incident, Ara often had nightmares, shortly after her eyes closed, the shadow of Hansel's rude attitude continued to haunt her and often kept her awake all night.

Meanwhile, Hansel who had just returned home from out of town, with long steps immediately walked towards Ara's room, ignoring the servants and guards who bowed respectfully to her. These three days were already like hell to Hansel, not a single second had passed without thinking about his beautiful wife. Hansel wants to apologize immediately and get back to mending their relationship, not knowing if Ara will accept an apology from him, which he knows he does not want forever a cold war with his wife. Especially if until Ara will hate him, Hansel can go crazy if it happens.

During this time Hansel always got a report from Bu Sari about the situation of his wife who is getting moody. His heart ached just by imagining it. But whatever the power, Hansel had to attend the important meeting, at this time he is still a deputy director at the Anderson company, the highest position is still held by his Daddy considering the age of Hansel who is still very young, so Mr. Robert Anderson still holds that position in his hands, but Hansel is the only son of the Anderson family, he has ninety percent potential to occupy the seat of a CEO at the Anderson company, and that ten percent was a nuisance from her aunt who was trying to remove Hansel from her position.

Hansel repeatedly took a deep breath before placing his hand on Ara's bedroom doorknob, most likely his wife was already asleep given the time that showed past midnight. Hansel was willing to travel in the middle of the night because of his great longing for his wife.

Hansel slowly opened the door to Ara's room. As usual Ara never turned off all the lights, she always slept with a lamp that illuminated every corner of the room. The corner of Hansel's lips lifted as his net caught the sight of his wife sleeping under a blanket. Hansel began to walk closer, observing Ara's deeply asleep face. With a bit of courage Hansel kissed Ara's forehead gently, tapping into the vanilli scent of Ara's body.

Hansel lingered on Ara's lines, his tiredness and drowsiness evaporating in the air as he could look at Ara's face which had always been tightly stored in his heart. Suddenly, Ara's eyebrows knitted against each other's forehead wrinkled, the deep sleep began to piqued. Although Ara's eyes were still closed, but Ara's forehead began to sweat, her face was filled with fear, Ara's tiny lips twitched as if she wanted to say something. Making Hansel confused to witness the condition of his wife at this time.

Hansel gently stroked Ara's cheek, whispering soothing words near Ara's ear, "Shhht, it's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid, just calm down, everything will be fine. Ara I love you, there's only you" Hansel said, rubbing Ara's cheek gently.

Slowly Ara's face calmed down, back into her comfortable sleep, but before Hansel went his ear caught a slight muttering sound from the wife's lips, "I'm not a toy, don't throw me away," ara's voice sounded soft.

Hansel's body seemed frozen to hear it, now his mind again remembers the night that he and Ara visited his Mommy home, if he remembers back Ara's attitude to be cold to him after they came home from there. Now various speculations appeared in his head.

Are these all interconnected? Did Mommy say anything bad to Ara? Or is Ara jealous of Vanessa? Or is there something else that bothers Ara?

Hansel plans to find out about what caused Ara's change in attitude that morning, which ultimately led to an uncontrollable situation between her and Ara. After once again giving a soft kiss on Ara's forehead, Hansel then passed leaving the room they were supposed to occupy with it.

Bending the day, Ara was still lazy to just move from her soft mattress, although it seemed like the morning sun had begun to peek from the cracks of the glass window that the curtains slightly blushed. It's Sunday, and he's already asked Johan for permission, that he might be in on Monday. For some reason Johan now becomes much better at treating Ara, Ara used to be even rare to be able to take a day or two off goods, but now Ara has been absent for four days, but Johan still allowed it and did not scold or threaten to cut his salary as he had often done in the past, it seems Johan was afraid if until Ara actually resigned from his company.

The sound of knocking on the door made Ara inevitably to get up from the fall, Ara actually wanted to kill time just by rolling on the mattress today, but it seemed like conditions did not allow it.

With a somersault Ara opened her bedroom door, her eyes rounded as she saw someone standing with a large bouquet of flowers covering her face. And when the flower was lowered, it showed Hansel's perfect face behind it. A moment Ara was stunned then reflexively Ara's feet stepped back away from Hansel, fear imprinted clearly on Ara's face.

Hansel immediately restrained Ara who was trying to close the door of his room, so it happened to push each other to fight over the door. Actually it would be easy for Hansel to just push the door open, but he chose to budge, letting Ara push the door close , but before the door was perfectly closed Hansel deliberately put his palm there, making the hand that had been previously injured by the mirror was squeezed by the door, making Hansel scream in pain, "Argh, "he shouted.
