Aldo POV
I didn't think she was so cute to make a mistake, I knew she couldn't cook. But the mischievous intent in my soul thrashed out eagerly to tease him.
After finishing cleaning the pantry, I saw Aiko sitting while playing her phone. "Are you full?" ask her.
He nodded, then I told him to rest because tomorrow morning he has to get up early. It seems like tomorrow is a tiring day.
Aiko came in first while I was sitting there enjoying the hot drink I just made. I remember what my father said.
Dad told me that if the choice was never wrong, after all, all this was decided when Madame Alin was alive. I don't know if I can make Aiko fall for me and be a wife for the rest of my life.
Because all I know is that he still loves Isamu very much, maybe he won't believe if I say all the rottenness of Isamu. I don't know how he would react if he found out that Isamu was alive. Will he come back to her and leave me.
However, if that's his wish I'll grant him what he wants. Although he asked me to let him go, but I will not let him go if he wants to go back to Isamu. Because Isamu is not a good man for him.
I accepted this marriage also because I wanted to protect her from Isamu so that she would not be deceived by Isamu. Because Hinoto told me if there was anything Isamu wanted from Aiko. And he still could not find what Isamu wanted.
I'd better rest, look like it's getting late. There is still work that is not finished, maybe I cleaned up the unfinished work first. Then I rested, I got up from my seat and walked to my room.
When I entered the room, I saw Aiko who was asleep. I walked to the sofa to continue my work, when I opened the Notebook I saw that all the work that had not been completed had been completed.
Maybe Aiko did the work, I checked back on what she was doing. My smile was broken, she was not good at cooking but she was very good at solving problems in my work.
I'd better clean myself for cooking so my body smells of cooking. After that, I rested, I stepped into the bathroom.
After I finished cleaning myself out of the bathroom, I stepped into the closet to get my clothes. What should I do now, I sleep one bed with him or I sleep on the couch. I know he can't be a wife yet and neither can I be a full husband to him.
There is still a shadow of another woman being wrong-hearted, even though I know that woman has hurt a lot. Even he has already blamed myself for Aiko's father's death.
However, if I do not sleep one bed with him then I will not be able to carry out our duties as a husband. Dad told me that I should try to open my heart and accept Aiko as my wife and the woman I love.
Maybe I should open my heart to start loving Aiko, even if it takes time and a very hard struggle for me. Rein has hurt my heart so much that I close my heart in the name of love.
I walked slowly to the bed, then laid my body on the bed. I don't know why when I tried to close both eyes I couldn't. Still reminded of what Lexi said if Rein was in Korea right now and she didn't know I was married to Aiko.
What would Rein do if he found out I was married to Aiko? I hope he doesn't do things that could make Aiko sad again. Because he was sad enough to lose his father.
Pluck up!
I smiled as she turned around and her hands hugged me, she looked charming despite being asleep. If I look at it I become reminded of each of our togetherness even though not as a lover.
Every time you do Lexa and Lexi, it makes me smile. I don't know what makes me like you to always smile, especially if you see you are very happy with Isamu's attention. Though Isamu did not love you sincerely .
From the beginning I always thought of him as a friend and best friend, I don't know why you were hostile to me just because of a misunderstanding. I wanted to tell you everything but I couldn't find the right time yet.
I hope that when the time is right you can hear and accept everything with a calm heart. Because it's not easy, because Isamu is the man you love so much. I kissed her forehead gently and tried to close my eyes again.
Next day.
Brugg!
Awwwwws!
I woke up when I heard someone had fallen, and then looked for what had fallen. However, I heard the sound of people grimacing in pain. When I looked to the side, Aiko was no longer on the bed.
The voice sounded from the left, I immediately saw the bottom right to sleep. I chuckled as I looked at Aiko who had fallen and she grimaced in pain while holding her butt.
"Stop your laugh Aldo!" screech at me in a annoyed tone.
My laughter could not stop because seeing her facial expression was so very funny. Especially if she was being angry like that but her face was flushed red, was she embarrassed by what had just happened to her.
He just kept grumbling but not standing from his falling position, I reached out to help him. She brushed it off but I reached out to her again.
"Stop your laugh Aldo! Didn't I say huh!" He said to me standing up and then he lunged at me all of a sudden.
So that I couldn't hold her body, so she went in my arms. We looked at each other, I couldn't escape her gentle gaze. He made me want to pounce on him but I should be able to endure it. Because I don't want to force my will on him.
"When do you want to be above me? Do you like it when it's above me?!" ask her with a seductive tone.
As soon as she regained her senses and stood up and ran towards the bathroom, I smiled seeing her like that. 'Are you really going to love me Aiko? So can I love him?' my inner.
My phone rang, I picked it up because it was Lexi. He asked if everything was ready. I told him everything was ready.
Lexi hoped that all the work would be done quickly so that Aiko and I could go on vacation for a few days before returning to Japan. He also said that Alex's father and master had returned to Indonesia.
After saying that Lexi disconnected her phone, I saw Aiko coming out of the bathroom. He only used a towel that wrapped around his body to cover the part of his body that he did not want to show me.
If I see him like that I can't help him anymore but I can't be selfish. All I want is for him to accept everything and completely want to be mine.
I'd better clean up and get ready, maybe the client I'll meet will be there early. Before he is present I must first be present compared to him.
***
After everything was ready I invited Aiko to leave immediately, I told her that Client this time was a bit of a hassle. So we have to arrive earlier compared to him.
Aiko nodded and then she followed me to the car, right we met was a cafe. Because this client is always in the cafe every morning. I don't know what he did, but he invited us to meet there.
"Have you checked your work last night?!" Aiko asked me.
I smiled then said, "If it's been touched by your hand—then everything doesn't matter."
His face immediately flushed as I said that, sometimes I felt amused because every close to him my heart always wanted to tease him. He has begun to take over my world.
Get us in a cafe, look around to find the clients I'm going to meet. Apparently he hasn't arrived yet, it's nice so I can get ready and enjoy breakfast a little. Because neither I nor Aiko had breakfast.
"Message me a drink and a snack!" I said that to Aiko then went out for a while.
My phone rang but the one who called me wasn't a client, he was Rein. Did he know that if I was in Korea, my phone rang again. I picked it up because the one who contacted me was Rein.
He said he wanted to meet me, he also said that if he knew I was in Korea. I turned it down because I still have a lot of work I haven't done.
I smiled, apparently he did not forget what I liked for breakfast, did he always remember all this. He looked at me fixedly while gesturing while asking me why I was smiling.
"Before the client arrives—better we finish breakfast immediately!" I told him to distract.
He ate the food and so did I, after I finished I told the waiter to tidy up our table. A few minutes later, I found the client I had been waiting for.
How surprised I was to see Rein walking into the cafe with the client I was waiting for. She smiled as she looked at me, clearly Rein was surprised when she saw Aiko sitting next to me.
"How are you, Mr Aldo? You've been waiting a long time?" Greet Mr. Dae-Jung to me as he extends his hand to shake hands with me.
"I'm good Mr. Dae-Jung—please sit down!" I answered and invited him to sit down followed by Rein.
Mr. Jung introduced Rein as his co-worker and said they were both friends. It was obvious from the gaze of master Dae-Jung that he liked Rein very much.
Rein looked at me she gave the code with the intention of asking why there was Aiko with me. I kept quiet and didn't care, now I have to focus on my work.
We also wrote about the cooperation between Lexi company and Dae-Jung company. It is clear that he is a very perfectionist in everything when it comes to work. He wants everything to go well.
Finally we found a way to work together, and he invited me to dinner. And that invitation for tonight, I looked at Aiko for her approval.
She smiled and nodded, which meant she agreed. But I feel something is strange about him. He becomes more reserved and only speaks if the matter of work is with lord Dae-Jung.
After everything is done, Mr. Dae-Jung tells us but Rein asks him for permission to go to the toilet for a while so Mr. Dae-Jung waits for him in the car. Not long after master Dae-Jung leaves, Rein comes back to me and Aiko.
"I want to talk to you, just the two of you?!" Rein asked me sweetly.
"Please—you have a lot of time today!" Aiko said as she left us both.
I could only watch him leave me and Rein, was he upset or angry if I was with Rein? What I think is that she cannot be jealous of me because in her heart there is still your Issue.
"What's wrong? Aren't we done?!" I asked Rein.
She said the impossible, I told her that if the relationship between the two of us was not going to go back to what it used to be. It was too late but he kept saying he still loved me.
As he continued to say things that were impossible to him, the phone he had in his hand rang. He takes a quick look then ignores it, maybe it's from master Dae-Jung.
"Go—he's waiting for you! And forget all our relationships because everything is no longer possible."
"I just want you—just you, there's nothing I want anymore in this world!" He said in an annoyed tone because I did not obey what he wanted.
After saying that she left, I fell silent for a moment and then remembered Aiko. Looking around invisible to him, I walked out to look for him but I could not find him.
I took my phone and called her but she didn't pick it up. I kept trying and trying, he still didn't lift it.
"Sial—where are you Aiko!" muttered.
If there wasn't Rein just now maybe Aiko wouldn't have left, if she was upset that Rein wanted to talk to me alone. I remember Lexi, she once told me that she had a tracking device on Aiko and Lexa's cell phones. All of that just in case.
I quickly contacted Lexi, she picked it up and asked about Aiko's location. He gave me a password to get into his computer. So I can track Aiko's whereabouts myself.
Lexi asked me if we had a fight, I said I'd tell her everything if I found Aiko. Fortunately, he understood, and then I cut off his phone.
I started to enter the code that Lexi gave me, I saw Aiko's name on my phone. Right where he was, the sign kept going whether he didn't use a taxi. I better hurry up to find her, I don't want anything to happen to her then I enter the car and run the car slowly.
He stopped at a park, I stopped my car and got out of the car. I saw him sitting by himself staring at the people passing by. I approached her slowly and sat down next to her.
"Are you angry?" ask her.
"You ... Why are you here? Don't you still let go of the yearning with the woman you love!" He said in a cold tone.
I smiled hearing what she said, for some reason I felt that she didn't like it if I was close to Rein. He kept saying that if I wanted to go back to Rein he would allow it and would let me go.
Hearing what he said earlier irritated me, I stood up and left. Before leaving I said to go back to the apartment now. It is up to him to use his feet to walk to the apartment or use a taxi.
I'd better stay away from her for a moment otherwise I'm not sure what I'm going to do to her. It might be possible to let go of the resentment in my heart would hurt her.
I was upset that I went from the park to a company to finish the job that Lexi had just given me. Hopefully everything can be done before the dinner with Mr. Dae-Jung.
Get me in the company, meet the man in charge of this company. Apparently Lexi was planning to buy this company, had she talked about all this to Lexa.
I better call her again and ask her seriously for this matter. I picked up the phone and called Lexi, she picked it up, I quickly asked her if Lexa knew about her plans.
Lexi chuckled at what I was asking and then she said that she had talked about it with Lexa. And Lexa agreed to everything, she also entrusted everything to me to take care of everything.
That means I have to learn everything, whether this company is worth buying. So it will not be a loss for the company later. I don't want to be rash on this, before everything looks good to me I won't agree to it all.
Let me find out if it doesn't work out then I'll tell Lexa and Lexi all this. Because after all they have to know the truth about this company.
It wasn't afternoon, I saw my phone. I don't know why I wish Aiko's name would call or text me. But it was all just my wish.
I decided to go back to the apartment, before that I asked the people who used to help me to find information about a company. I told him to find all the information I needed about the company I was working with.
On the way home I checked my phone and saw where Aiko was. When viewed from my cell phone, he was in the apartment. Is he getting ready for Mr. Dae-Jung's dinner invitation.
When I arrived at the apartment, I saw Aiko sitting on her phone. Apparently he's not ready for dinner this time.
"Prepare—we'll be attending Mr. Dae-Jung's invitation soon!" say him.
Without saying a word, he headed straight for the bathroom. While I took out a dress that I just bought before going to the apartment. Maybe he'll like my style of choice.
Moments later she came out of the bathroom, I walked towards the bathroom. And said to her, "Get that dress!"
After I cleaned myself up, I came out of the bathroom. I saw she was wearing the dress I bought her. It looks so beautiful when worn by her.
I walked to the wardrobe to pick up a suit that matches the color of Aiko's dress. After everything was ready I saw her back she was so beautiful tonight I was more and more fascinated by her.
'Oh my God what are you thinking!' my inner.
