Complicated Choices

"Which makes you heavier now? Manika and her daughter? Or that woman of your past? who have inflicted wounds and traumas on you that are very deep." asked Arya.

Ever since Casandra broke her son's heart, Arya and Shakki have turned out to dislike her. Due to Bryan's healing process from the wounds given by Casandra, the whole family makes extra strict guarding the Natakusuma heiress.

Many times Bryan tried to commit suicide and hated his ex-lover. But Bryan couldn't do that. And his family always thwarted his suicide attempts.

"My heart says I prefer Casandra. But my common sense tells me to pick Manika and Cloe, Pa. I was faced with a very difficult choice in my opinion. I don't know which one to choose. Especially when I look at Casandra's current life. I can't bear it, Pa!" lirih Bryan could not resist his sadness when he remembered the current residence of Casandra.

Arya patted her son's shoulder. Trying to calm the emotions that now hit in Bryan's heart. It is quite heavy if you are told to choose one of them. But Bryan should be smarter, too. With every choice he would take later, he also had to be prepared with all the consequences that would be inflicted.

"You can't choose both, boy. You have to think carefully about which one you will choose. But also have to be ready with everything later" said Arya gave advice to Bryan.

If Bryan asks him, he has to choose who, obviously and surely Arya will choose Manika and her granddaughter. Because DNA tests also say that Bryan and Cloe Natama are father and son.

Arya knew the son could definitely pass this test of his life. Because Bryan's been through more harm than he is at the moment. But it's a matter of the heart who knows. Because if his heart is not in line with his brain, then any easy affair will be ruined.

"Bryan doesn't know, Pa," frustrated Bryan.

"If you may suggest, you better choose Manika and Cloe, your biological daughter. Meanwhile leave Casandra. Forget about her with your past. But if you choose Casandra, be prepared to lose Manika and Cloe. Because Papa himself will send her again to London, and Papa will marry her to the right person. The one who will really give his heart to Manika," explained Arya insinuating the son. And his words made Bryan even more upset. Because his father can do everything he has said. "Don't you know yourself, too, if many are interested in Manika in London, there?" added Arya again. Bryan fears that he will lose Manika and Cloe.

A very complicated and difficult choice for him. They are both meaningful people in Bryan's life right now. One side is the woman he loves. And the other side is the mother of her daughter, who either Bryan feels unwilling to see Manika with someone else.

Never mind marrying someone else, seeing him seduced by other employees while working alone, has made Bryan ride apoplexy and immediately fired the person without defense.

After saying her opinion, Arya left Bryan alone in the living room. Allowing his son to think more maturely. Which one would he choose with all the consequences he had to accept.
