**Happy Reading My Readers.
May your day be full of love just like the world of halu 😍**
"Clea, can you come with Mama for a second?" ask Ny. Marina took Cleantha to her room.
"What's up, Ma?"
Mrs. Marina looked at Cleantha solemnly.
"Mama was watching Almero and the King. They look familiar like a son and father. Almero is often moody because he misses Alvian. But after meeting the King, he looked happy. Mama thought Almero needed a father figure and she found it in the King" Ms. Marina opens the conversation.
"Why does Mom talk like that? Almero's father is Alvian and no one can replace him" Cleantha said.
Mrs. Marina did not expect Cleantha to react that hard.
"Yes, Alvian is Almero's real father. Al is gone forever. He can't accompany you anymore. Almero was a child, he needed a complete parent in order to grow up well."
"I can be both a mother and a father to Almero, Ma" Cleantha replied reassuring her mother-in-law.
"You are a strong and independent woman. But being a single parent is not as easy as you might think. Mama's had it, Clea. After Wijaya died, Mama had to maintain the integrity of the Adhiyaksa family as well as the stability of the company. Luckily Alvian and Raja are grown up so they can help Mama. But your circumstances are different. Almero is only five years old."
From the words of Mrs. Marina, Cleantha began to understand where her mother-in-law was talking.
"You and the King were once husband and wife. Now you two are widows and widows with one child. Don't you think you have the same fate? Maybe it's not a coincidence but it's destiny."
Mrs. Marina held Cleantha's hand.
"Clea, consider remarrying the King. From the King's gaze upon you, Mama is sure that she still loves you. If you are together, the Adhiyaksa family will unite. Almero has a father and Ivyna has a mother. There's nothing happier for you than this."
Hearing her mother-in-law's request, she felt disappointed in Cleantha's heart. I don't know why Mrs. Marina encourages him to marry again. Though it was clear he did not want to share love with other men, including the King.
"I'm sorry, Ma. I can't keep up with Mom's request."
Cleantha showed her the necklace she was wearing to Ms. The marina.
"Ma, this is the love knot necklace that Alvian gave her before the accident. This necklace illustrates the eternal bond of our love. It means that we will be faithful to keep our love until the end of our lives. I cannot betray my husband's love by marrying again. Please Mama understand my feelings," Cleantha pinta with teary eyes.
"Mama knows you love Alvian so much. But can't you sacrifice a little for Almero? Maybe now you can't accept the King, but marriage will make your heart change. The king is a good and responsible man. He'll make you and Almero happy" she explained. The marina.
"I can't give you an answer yet, Ma. Can I go back to my room?" cleantha asked with her tears.
"Yes, Clea. Please think about what Mama said."
Cleantha went to her own room. He locked the door and cried without making a sound.
The pressure he felt was like eating simalakama fruit. If you grant Ms's request. Marina, that means she'll disavow allegiance to Alvian. If you refuse, ma'am. Marina, Raja and Almero will be disappointed.
"Al, why did you have to leave me? If you were still with me I wouldn't have this dilemma,"
inner Cleantha while stroking her necklace pendant.
...****************...
Mr. Bayu visited the King in his room. He waited for the children to fall asleep to talk about Cleantha.
"King, Papa wants to ask you something. Do you still love Cleantha and want her to be your wife again?" ask Mr. Bayu to the point.
The king was surprised to hear the question from his father-in-law. But he is an adult man, not a teenager who shyly confesses his love.
"Yes, Pa."
"Good, Papa glad you admitted it honestly. Actually Papa and Marina are planning to match you. We thought if you two got married, all the problems in the Adhiyaksa family would be solved. Marina is also trying to persuade Cleantha."
The king's face turned grim.
"I'm sure Cleantha will reject this wedding plan. He only loves Alvian," replied the King.
"King, Papa will give you advice as a fellow man. If a wife loves her husband very much, she will find it difficult to forget him even though he has passed away. This is precisely a sign that Cleantha is a faithful woman."
Mr. Bayu poked her body.
"Stone as hard as anything will be eroded when continuously dripped water. Especially the soft heart of a woman. If you want to get Cleantha, then shower her with care and affection. For example, give her flowers, take dinner or do small things that make her happy. Sooner or later, he'll melt down and accept your love."
"Love knows no age limit. You are still young anyway."
"Did you remember what Alvian did that Cleantha fell in love with him?" please connect Mr. Bayu with a serious face.
"Alvian was being gentle with Cleantha. Always try to protect and take care of it. Alvian is also more romantic in expressing her feelings than I am," replied the honest King.
"You should lose to your sister. Therefore, imitate the ways of Alvian from now on. Treat Cleantha the same way Alvian loved her. You'll see the results later."
The advice of Mr. Bayu re-ignites the fire of spirit in the King.
"Good, Pa. Pray for me to succeed."
...****************...
After vacationing at the villa, Cleantha returned to her activities. After driving Almero to school, Cleantha rushed to the office to finish her heaped work.
Upon entering her room, Cleantha was surprised to find a bouquet of red roses sitting on her desk.
"Who's flower in?"
Cleantha took out a piece of card embedded in the bouquet of roses. He read the contents of the message from the sender, but there was no name of anyone listed there.
"Like the red rose that symbolizes love, that is my heart. I always wanted to love and take care of you. Have a wonderful and pleasant day."
Cleantha's guess went straight to the King. But maybe the man turned so romantic that he sent flowers as an expression of his love.
"Hello, Ryan. Do you know who sent this rose?" cleantha asked from the intercom.
"The courier from the Tulip florist who sent here, ma'am. But he didn't tell me who the sender was."
"Okay, thank you, Ryan."
Cleantha hung up the phone and placed the rose on the corner of the table.
When viewed up close, the flower is very beautiful and suitable to decorate the room. So he decided not to bother who the sender was.
Cleantha returned to work until it was time for lunch.
"Tok, tock, tock." There was a knock at the door.
"Just get Ryan."
Cleantha's loyal assistant walked in with a big box in her hand.
"Sorry Mom, here's a lunch for Mom."
"Who are you, Ryan?" cleantha asked in astonishment.
"From the servant of the Lord King, his name is Madam Narti. She said this food was made especially for her. All the ingredients are organic."
"Thank you, Ryan. Just put it on the table."
"Good, Mom. Goodbye, I'm sorry."
For the second time Cleantha was taken aback by the surprise of the King.
He walked to the table and opened the food box.
"This is.all my favorite foods. I used to ask Ms. Narti to prepare it. It turned out that Master King was secretly watching me,"
thought Cleantha took a spoon to taste the food. It still tastes delicious, nothing has changed.
While Cleantha was still enjoying her lunch, her phone shook three times.
He grabbed his phone from the table and saw the King's name in the incoming message. Cleantha immediately read the contents of the message.
"Do you like roses and the food I send you? If you are not willing to accept it, please do not throw it away. Just return it to my room, provided you have to come alone to see me. If you don't come until one o'clock in the afternoon, I assume you won't refuse my gift."
Cleantha smiled to herself reading the King's writings. No one would believe this message was sent by the CEO of Adhiyaksa Group, which is notoriously ice-cold in the north pole.
