My Perfect Husband's
CHAPTER 222 The Bitter Reality
“Keenan, looks like we should get Arthur and Belinda married soon?”
“What's Darwin? You just came here already startled. Did the kids go beyond their limits?” said Mr. Keenan with a pile of worry. She did not want her children to have a past like her pregnant out of wedlock. Keenan had to do it to get his blessing. (For those who have read the story of Falling in Love with a Widower, must know what Keenan's past was like).
“No-no. But this.” Mr. Darwin showed Mr. Keenan hot news this morning.
“This is Darwin news? Arthur betrayed my daughter? That's why you want the wedding to be done as soon as possible.” Mr. Keena was influenced by the title and content of the article.
“Not Keenan. It was Belinda and Arthur. I've confirmed it to Arthur. Arthur admits that they kissed in the car. I came to see you to tell you this, before you know from others and cause misunderstandings.”
“Jeez, these kids. A kiss in public like this. If it's like this, I agree with your idea. I'm afraid they're going beyond his limits.”
“I almost believe this article, I even scolded Arthur earlier. Arthur himself also did not know who photographed the two. They are adults and they are in love but at least they should be careful. Because of these rumors, my company's stock went down and I thought Arthur was a jerk. Looking at the comments and blasphemy columns that blindly appeared to Arthur infuriated me.”
“You rest easy, I'll delete the news from the media until it's unfrozen.”
“But there must have been many who copied the link of this site, Keenan. For that I want the engagement day to be the wedding day for Belinda and Arthur. We're legal first their marriage, after that we make a press conference.”
“Quiet Darwin, later the news will evaporate itself. The news of our children's marriage will answer the sloping news. We'd better focus on our kids' wedding. We closed degrees no problem. Have you talked about this to Arthur?”
“Yes, I talked about it and Arthur agreed. Arthur has also confessed that he and your daughter are officially dating.”
“Vienna Darwin. They also confessed to me. This is good news, you do not need to worry about the article. After all who kiss also our children.”
...****************...
“Bel, just count the days. I love you too but I promised to take care of you.” Said Arthur. Belinda was disappointed that Arthur didn't want to do it.
“Ya already gone there!” Belinda pushed Arthur until he fell. Belinda got out of bed and straightened her clothes.
“Is there anyone else in your heart?” syndicate Belindda.
“No Bell. I just want to take care of you. Are you always like this every time you date a guy?”
“However you accuse me, brother. I'm like this with you only. You think I'm a cheap woman. Even with Dave, I've never done more than kisses. It's not as intelligent as you imagine.”
“I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way.”
“Ah come, you've ruined my mood.” Belinda left Arthur's house.
Arthur grunts. “This why is it turned upside down like this? Usually men who are angry because the desire is not channeled but this is the opposite. I'm just trying to hold back, Bel. As a normal man, of course I can lose control.I do not want to disappoint Om Keenan who has asked me to take care of you.” Arthur's Mumbling.
Belinda was in a taxi on her way home.
“Rejection of Arthur, really embarrassed me. I think he's gonna do it. He should and should not refuse. That's stupid, Bel. Instantly your pride falls. It was like love clapping one hand. I better avoid it first. I was embarrassed by him. Just this time there was a man given instead rejected.” Grunts Belinda in heart. Suddenly Belinda's phone rang. Erick's name is on his phone screen.
“Halo Erick, what's up?”
“Alright, I'll be there. Because there are things I want to talk about with you too.”
“Iya Bel, I'm waiting for you.” Call ended.
Ten minutes later Belinda arrived at the restaurant. Erick was surprised by the appearance of Belinda, even Erick was pangling.
“Erick, how are you?”
“You're right Belinda?”
“Iya Erick's. It's me.”
“You're different than usual, Bel. You're getting pretty. Oh, did I hear you resigned? Is it all because of the abuse committed by Arthur?”
“You know the news is also Erick?”
“Iya Bell. And actually I was the one who wrote that article.”
“What? Ye? Did you also photograph the incident?”
“Iya Bell. Ii'm sorry. But I've blurred your face. I intend well. I saw Mr. Arthur kissing me while I saw your facial expression as angry. So I think she seduced you, Bel. I'm trying to save you so that Mr. Arthur's rot is exposed.”
“Erick, I thank you you for caring for me. But what you did was wrong. That's the fall of slander and defame of Mr. Arthur.”
“Why are you defending him, Bel? Do you two have a relationship?”
“Erick, actually me and Mr. Arthur, I mean Brother Arthur, we've been betrothed. I work in his company on Papa's orders. Papa wanted me to study independently, even Papa told me to stay in the rented house. So I had to go undercover. At first we were against this matchmaking because we didn't love each other. But over time, we finally realized that we love each other. Until we finally agreed to continue this match. I'm sorry Erick, if you feel played. I'm just following Papa's orders. Because if I refuse, I'll be crossed off the inheritance list. I'm Belinda Aurora Dirgantara, I'm spoiled, cuddly, pretentious and pretentious of everything. I can't cook, don't understand kitchen spices, even cookware I don't know. I knew everything was available in front of me. My hobbies are just sightseeing, shopping and going to the salon. I am afraid to live in poverty and lack. With all my shortcomings, Brother Arthur can accept me and change my way of life and my mindset in his own way. Again, I'm sorry Erick. I am happy to meet you and to know you. You are a good man and a very good and sincere friend. I hope, we can still be friends.”
Erick was shocked to hear everything Belinda had to say. When he loved a woman, he was heartbroken. Erick's eyes are glazed. His heart was so broken that he felt lied to by reality.
“To be honest I'm disappointed to hear your confession, Bel. Because I feel so sincere about you. I don't care who you are because I know I love you. I can accept if only your confession is disguised. But after knowing you and Mr. Arthur had a relationship, I felt like a fool. Expect something hollow.”
“I'm sorry, Erick. Really sorry. This was beyond my expectations. When you make friends, I can't refuse either. I also want to hang out like an ordinary person and in general.”
“Iya, I know. Maybe I fell in love with you too soon. But at least I'm relieved that you're with the right person. I'm also sorry for posting the article that ruined Mr. Arthur's name. I'll load up a new article and clarify everything. I'll clear Mr. Arthur's name.”
“Thank you to Erick. I'm sure you can get someone more everything than me.”
“Bel, can I ask for something?”
“What's Erick?”
“Can I hug you. Think of it as the end of all these flavors.”
“Iya.” Belinda then moved from her seat, as did Erick. And the two of them hugged each other. A thread of tears of sincerity and disappointment finally escaped also from the eye of Erick. As soon as possible, Erick wiped it off.
“Thank you to Erick. You are my best friend.”
“Thank you also yes Bel, you have stopped in my heart even if only for a moment.”
