The Journey of Young CEO Love

Part 16's. First kiss

...---Happy reading---...

"A-I, can you hug me?", asked Ara nervously. Not meant anything but really, he needs it now. Her grandmother was there but she did not want to add to her grandmother's burden and make her grandmother sad because of her sadness as well. Ara no longer has a place to lean she needs it now, really the words and treatment om and tantenya and her cousin really hurt her

Hearing Ara's request, Gio glared in surprise not expecting Ara's request. He thought Ara would ask for something in the form of goods such as money or the like but his mind was far from what actually happened.

"If you can not gapapa", said Ara quickly because it did not get a response from Gio.

Quickly, Gio pulled Ara into his arms, rubbed the girl's long hair and back, trying to channel strength and give Ara peace.

Slowly but surely, Ara's hand moved up to return Gio's embrace no less tightly. Really, his heart was not as strong as it seemed. He is fragile and he is also an ordinary human being who also feels tired and hurt, he just looks okay not really good.

Both of them were silent without anyone willing to make a sound. Gio just kept silent and continued to rub the fragile girl's back. Ara's strong grip on Gio's hoodie made Gio understand the girl was crying. Ara made no noise or sobbing, she was silent with tears that did not stop coming out. The tears that he endured desperately finally broke were also embraced by Gio, his sense of tightness gradually disappearing along with his tears that continued to flow.

"Cry" said Gio quietly almost in a whisper.

Along with Gio's constricted words and hugs, Ara's cries increasingly unable to be contained, slowly a small suction escaped as well until finally Ara cried as if in the arms of the man. Gio's embrace tightened, trying to calm down and if possible Gio wanted to share that pain.

"They don't love me. They hate me. I don't know what my fault is, no one loves me.", raved Ara interjected by her cries.

"Do I not deserve to be loved?", he continued with a lot of fun.

"Ara wants to follow mother and father" he said lirih.

Gio shook his head slowly disagreeing with Ara's remark.

"Do not think of them. There are still many who love you" said Gio who still hugs Ara.

"Nobody loves me" said Ara.

Gio silently let Ara whine indistinctly with a cry that had not yet subsided. Seeing the fragile Ara like this, reminded Gio of his sister. Seeing Ara cry made her heart beat pain just when she saw the condition of her sister who was far from good.

"I want to follow my mother with my father" the word repeated again making Gio even more unable to resist something urgent wanting to get out. His clenched hands held back the anger, there was no way he was angry let alone Ara's condition like this.

A few minutes late, Gio took off his pangutan and stared intently at Ara who still every tear out. His hand stretched out rubbing Ara's tears. Gio let out a rough sigh, he could have done that under these circumstances but Ara's words really provoked his emotions.

"Sorry", he said slowly rubbing Ara's wet lower lip due to her actions.

"What do you want?", asked Gio unfriendly

"You followed your mother and father", said Ara slowly. He's tired, really tired. For years he was treated like this without knowing where he was wrong. What is wrong if the mother gave birth to him in the world. He worked hard for his life and his grandmother but his brothers always asked by force, if not obeying his body which would be the victim of their violence. She never felt loved except by her grandmother.

"You want to leave grandma alone ? Want to stay with people who love you?", asked Gio, his gaze turned shady. Gio sighed softly, his chest was also tight to see Ara like this.

"Nobody loves me" said Ara again.

Gio shook his head slowly and wiped the tears that had never stopped. Gio tried to calm Ara down. The man was sure that as long as he received unpleasant treatment from those people Ara never told anyone, he just kept it to himself and ended up crying silently.

"Many Ara. There's grandma, Gea, Dara, mother", and also me.

"You want to leave them all?", asked Gio again to make Ara shake her head slowly.

"You are strong and you can be, many love you. I'm also here, if you need me to be there" after saying that, Gio pulled Ara back into his arms, rubbed Ara's long hair and occasionally kissed the top of the girl's head.

Gio didn't know why he was doing that, but his heart told him to. I don't know why the girl he had only met for a few days managed to melt his heart and make him able to do this softly.

"Don't talk like that anymore" pinta Gio. This time Ara nodded slowly in Gio's embrace.

Silence again ambushed Ara's room, almost an hour in that position, Gio already did not hear Ara's crying voice, the girl's breathing also sounded regular. It seemed like being tired of crying, Ara fell asleep.

Gio took off his embrace and laid Ara down and pulled the blanket up to the girl's neck. Gio stared long at Ara's face. His hand moved to get rid of the hair that was attached to Ara's face. Many questions came to Gio's mind. Has Ara been living well or just the opposite ? Did Ara only get affection from her grandmother ? And what is the cause of Ara's cheeks flushed and slightly swollen when the day she met Ara directly had something to do with them earlier ?. For whatever reason, seeing the incident and Ara's condition like this made Gio afraid, afraid of Ara's mentality disturbed and ended up this girl who did nothing to herself.

"I promise I will keep you happy" murmured Gio rubbed Ara's cheeks slightly flushed the former slap.

Out of nowhere, Gio kissed the girl's long forehead making her twitch violently. He had to get out of here, before he really could not help himself. He loved this girl in front of him so he would look after her any way he could.

"Good night girl",
