Paid Seedlings

A boyfriend?

Manika could only blink her eyes. Because to be honest, he has not been able to tell his past life, to the man who became Cloe's father.

Bryan understood, why Manika did not directly answer about the expression he said. He will try his best to convince her and his heart to the word love in marriage.

Bryan would convince his heart again, to believe in the presence of sincere love. And will also convince the woman, not all marriages will lead to a separation.

Although he himself is not sure about it, but Bryan is able to promise it to Manika, if he will bring his little family to live happily. Coupled with the existence of a princess, who binds them in a bond that can not be removed.

"I'll try, Mom. But don't force me, if I haven't been able to tell you everything," after a long silence, Manika finally let out her voice.

"I am the same. I was hurt in love too. And I became a jerk after that betrayal happened to me. You know?" Bryan began to tell the story of his nightlife who often changed bed partners, just because he wanted to return his pain to his former lover.

Manika can't say anything. It turns out that his romance life is not much different from what Bryan experienced. However, Bryan's condition which he thinks is worse than his.

"Do you want to accept me with all my flaws?" ask Bryan. Her fingers gently rubbed Manika's lips.

With trembling hands, Manika tried to frame Bryan's face back. Stare deeply at the brown eyeball.

"I will try to heal the wounds in your heart, but vice versa. You should try to convince me of the bond of marriage. Honestly, I'm not ready to get married. Because I saw the failure of my own parents' household that was never harmonious, since I was born. And I want to try to be with you, to give a whole family to Cloe. As well as giving him abundant happiness," said Manika at length.

"Look at me, honey," Bryan ordered. Manika also complies. "While there's no love between us yet, I will try to give you both the best" Bryan said sincerely.

Manika was moved by the words said by Bryan. Not even her tears were shed. He will also try to give his best for the baby. Hoping that the fate of his household will not end like his parents.

"Yes, Mas," said Manika.

"So..status what is suitable for us now?" bryan asked with a teasing smile. "Dating?" ask her again. "Emmm.but that's not possible. Considering we already have an overly adorable baby like My Princess," he replied.

"Please, Mas," Manika hit Bryan's arm again. He felt ashamed, if looked at like that by Bryan.

Bryan chuckled at the blushing face Manika was displaying. For some reason, teasing the mother of his child is very fun for him.

After revealing each other the wounds they had felt all along about love and betrayal. Now they are trying to be open to each other. And they have the same goal, which is to give happiness to their daughter.

Although without them knowing, actually their hearts are already tied to each other. However, they both deny the feeling because of a trauma they had experienced.

How long do they not realize their feelings? I don't know! Only time can answer all that.
