The Bridge Of Love

CHAPTER 54 Declares Love

The sun has not yet shown itself, Vinnie awakens from his sleep. His head wasn't as messy as last night. Feeling his heavy hands. His gaze was immediately fixed on his own arm. A head makes his arm a backrest. Vinnie's hands stretched out, gently rubbing the head of the man he loved silently.

Just one stroke, Aryo woke up. "You awake?"

Vinnie felt awkward, his hands floating in the air. "Yes, just wanted to wake you up," he said trying to calm down. “why is it here?”

Aryo rubbed his face. “It looks like I overslept.” He got up from his seat. “I'll make breakfast for you.”

“No need to bother.” Vinnie tried to get out of his sleep. He didn't want to trouble Aryo. However, his head was still heavy to lift.

Aryo touched Vinnie's shoulder. “Just rest, let me do it.”

Vinnie only saw Aryo's departure. The man was busy in the kitchen. No intention of cooking heavy meals. Aryo opens the refrigerator door and finds milk and granola. Cut some avocados to mix with the cereal.

Aryo went back to Vinnie's room. Put two bowls of cereal on the table and petrified Vinnie to sit down. “Thank you,” said Vinnie. Aryo wants to feed Vinnie. But the woman refused it. “Let me alone,” pinta Vinnie.

“Nothing,” Aryo said.

“You eat too, I'm still strong to lift the spoon,” explains Vinnie.

Aryo just smiled, he took one bowl on the table for himself. They had breakfast together. “Do you have no intention of going to the hospital today? I can drive you,” he said gently.

“No need, I already feel better.”

“But your face still looks pale.”

“I'll sunbathe later.”

Aryo chuckles. “Are you a morning suntaned baby?”

“What is a baby while sunbathing on the beach?” sergeant Vinnie.

Aryo just laughed. “True, bule really like summer to warm their body.”

Aryo devoured his last cereal feed. Vinnie glanced at the clock on the wall. “You don't work?”

“Of course work, Chrysanthemum can be angry if I don't go to the office!” grunts Aryo.

“Go, don't be late.” Vinnie took Aryo's bowl and stacked it on his bowl. I plan to take him to the kitchen.

“Let me alone,” pinta Aryo, reach out to take the bowl in Vinnie's hand.

“No need, I can do it myself. Take it easy, I feel better,” reject Vinnie. He walks towards the kitchen with Aryo following him.

“You didn't go to the office did you?” aryo asked as he sat half-standing at the kitchen table.

“I've got Miss Fransiska's permission to rest a few days.” Vinnie started washing their food. Only two bowls makes the activity of washing dishes so short.

“Good,” said Aryo then got up from his seat. “Later noon, I'll stop by again to bring you lunch. You don't cook yourself, just rest.”

“Not necessary. You take care of your work,” refuse Vinnie again.

“I came here at lunchtime. Doesn't disturb my work hours. Don't move too much. Just a few days out of the hospital, now you drop again. How can I just shut up!”

“Aryo .. please stop worrying about me.”

“What's up? Am I making you uncomfortable?”

Vinnie raised his head, trying to stare at the man. He was not comfortable with their togetherness. His heart was uncomfortable with the gentle treatment of the man. “Not that, I just don't want us to get too close.”

“What's up? You're Carnations assistant and I'm Chrysanthemum's assistant. Sure, we'll meet often. I already consider you as my own sister. Getting word you're sick makes me want to see you soon.”

“But I'm not your sister!” hardik Vinnie's.

Aryo was quite jolted with Vinnie's rising voice. The girl is usually very gentle in speaking. “What's wrong with you?”

“Stop worrying about me, stop being gentle with me,” said Vinnie bowing his head.

“Vinnie ... are you okay?”

Aryo is glued, he's comfortable with Vinnie. However, he also knew there was a lover who was betrothed to him. “You know I already have a lover right?”

Vinnie raised his head. Looked at Aryo for sure. “I can't think of you as my brother! I can't be your sister. I know you don't like me. So, stop caring about me, never see me again. Your presence by my side only makes my heart ache!” Vinnie.

Aryo blinked his eyes once, at once he didn't know what to say. “Vinnie ..”

“Go,” wail Vinnie without any desire to see Aryo.

Aryo exhaled slowly. “Sorry,” shrieked then turned around leaving Vinnie.

Hearing the door close, made Vinnie dare to raise his head. He touched his chest that felt tight. Doesn't saying what's in your heart relieve your chest? Why after declaring his love, did his heart still feel claustrophobic?

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

“Are you in a relationship with Miranda?” asked enthusiastically, she saw the news this morning that her cousin could kiss a woman.

“I just helped him,” grunts Renan.

“But you kissed him!” timpal Carnations.

“It was just to convince the reporters that we were engaged. Miranda is accused of spreading fake news about her as if she had your husband's fiance! I think he likes your husband! You better be careful, who knows your husband is tempted by it!” Renan. He wants Carnation not to discuss his relationship with Miranda.

“Krisan could easily be with him when we parted and it was not done by him. That means, Miranda does not have the charm to tease my husband,” said Anyelir confidently. “maybe, another man who was fascinated by him," he said by squinting.

“Have not discussed again,” said Renan. He got up from his seat to leave his cousin's office.

“Where to?”

“Lunch!” shouted Renan.

“You didn't invite me?”

“Didn't you want to have lunch with your husband?”

“No! Waitme! I'm coming with you!”

Carnation and Renan had lunch together. No Vinnie makes Carnations have no intention of having lunch outside the office. The clock keeps turning, the company will keep going. Until the afternoon greet, Chrysanthemum can not pick up Anyelir. He asked the driver to pick up Carnations.

“Money want to go home directly?”

“Ke office Sir first only,” said Anyelir. Given that Chrysanthemum was waiting for him to work earlier, made Anyelir want to do the same.

“Master is in the office of KRS not AYL,” said the driver. Distance to KRS is further than AYL.

“Nothing, take me there.”

Carnations arrive at Chrysanthemum headquarters. He went straight to the husband's room. However, Chrysanthemum was still busy in the meeting room. Carnation's gaze shaded, she circulated into her husband's room. I saw the sofa in the living room. Considering they've made love there. Their last love before they split.

Carnations smiled wryly, recalling the previous dark events. Divorced after serving her husband. He nodded, trying to forget the past. She walked and sat in the oversized Chrysanthemum chair.Seeing a photo of herself on her desk made her smile.

Carnations pull the drawer of the husband's desk. Not in the drawer, looking for if there is a trace of the husband's affair. Although, it was done just for the fad, because he was sure Chrysanthemum would not cheat.

In the past, Carnations rarely crimped the office of the husband. Although she does not infrequently enter the workspace of the husband. However, he only serves the husband, eats together and not infrequently Chrysanthemum asks for his rights as a husband in the office.

Carnation's hand stuck out, a photo caught his attention. A family photo. He saw a couple together with a little boy. He looked at the little boy who was very similar to his husband. “What is this you?” muttered Carnation smiling.

His gaze turned to the photo of two adults. Never once did Carnation know the face of her in-laws. He looked at the photo, a photo that looked familiar. Trying to remember the picture of the adult man.

Carnations blinked her eyes once, she remembered that the man was the man in her parents' photo album. Yes, the memory of Carnations is still warm, he only recently opened his parents' album. Smiling at the lips of Carnations, he suspected their parents were friendly. “We are destined to be together,”.

Carnations put the photo back. His hand grabbed the brown envelope that was there. His heart led him not to open the envelope. However, his brain ruled to open it.

He read slowly the report sheet inside the envelope, Carnation's hands began to tremble looking at the contents of the investigation. The results of an investigation that led her husband to divorce her.

“Anyelir ..” Chrysanthemum's excited speech weakened when he saw his wife holding a brown envelope that he knew the contents of the file.

“Cannot be!” said Anyelir choked.
