Vortice In Vendetta

CHAPTER 10: Aksa's Dilemma

“What will happen if we move to a new house later?” aksa asked who was busy helping Jea to pack their things.

“What are you afraid of? Nothing will change. We will only be more free to manage our own lives.” Answer the girl relax.

“Oh yes, Arka. Like you said. Your private apartment has two floors, right?” asked the girl suddenly with a radiant face.

“Iya, why?”

“Later we will have our own room right? I'll arrange the master room for you. Then I'll fill the room next to him. So if anyone comes we won't have any trouble."

"There will be a secret passageway to connect the two rooms. Kak Raga and Rayden's rooms will be on the top floor directly connected to the upper terrace. We can have a Barbeque Party there. It will be a very perfect family.” Said the girl at length with sparkling eyes.

“But they ask us to be self-sufficient if moving to our own home.” Sela Aksa invited the girl's reaction.

“No problem. I'll try my best. I'll find a job. I'm sure that Rayden and Raga will do the same. We'll be strong while we're together, because we're family.”

“Jea..” call Aksa again.

“Ya, why?”

“Can I ask you something?” the girl nodded.

“You think of me as a family or as a husband?”

“Family.” Answer the girl.

“Why?”

“Because that family has no limits. You know that family is where we go home and stop when we're tired.”

Jea turned her body to face Aksa. He looked at the young man fixedly, then grabbed Aksa's hand and held her warm.

“You might change your mind and end this marriage when it's time, as well as me. There will be ex-lovers, ex-husbands and ex-wives. Especially now that we don't understand anything about love and relationships."

"But as a family, even if we're not the main cast, but you and I will forever never be separated. Because we are family.”

The girl's words not only made Aksa's heart warm, but also hurt. Shortly before the wedding, he had once dissolved in his own mind for nearly seventy-two hours. He thinks hard. In the past, his parents also made the same mistake, namely getting married at a young age. Same age as her.

They also failed. His father left his mother when he was still in the womb, but it all happened because of successive mistakes. Blindness created from the desire of a fourteen-year-old teenager. Until finally he was present between relationships without legal marriage ties.

His mother suffered at that time. The demands of the elders, and the mental burden he bore at such a young age. The age of those who are only adrift is less than one year. Some years are more mature than the age of Jea now, but with the thinking is still far below the power thought of a Jeana Nashara.

‘This girl is so young, but her thoughts are so mature.she is so good at considering the good and bad consequences in every decision she takes.’ That's what Aksa thought of Jea.

But what about his promise? What about his parents?

Mr. Akeno is not Aksa's real father. But only Aksa, his mother, and his mother's family knew it. He made the hard decision to marry a young girl who could almost be considered his daughter.

The age difference is almost fourteen years. He is twice his wife's age. But baby, because his real brother made that mistake. He harmed another girl's life and then made amends by ending his own.

‘Cannot be more harmed’ thought.

So he took the risk of embarrassment in the family. He accepted the consequences of marrying the young girl and taking care of her child like his own.

But whether good intentions are always sweet, since the presence of Aksa in the midst of their families. The Akeno Family business is growing rapidly. Plus, he is the only boy in the family.

Even for Mr. Akeno himself, Aksa was his only son. He chose not to marry another girl and have another child. There was only Aksa in his life, and that child was also his life. For Mr. Akeno, Aksa is the replacement that God sent to replace his late sister.

“Pardon Papa, because Papa can't uncover everything.” His words were full of guilt when he revealed the secret in front of Aksa.

“Aksa does not mind Pa, instead Aksa thanks because Papa already wants to receive Aksa well.” Words understand.

“But, your mother's parents know all your origins well. And they're asking your mother to marry you right now. They've found a good girl who will help you start a new life. They don't want the mistakes that ever happened between us to be repeated back to you.”

At least that's the reason why finally a betrothed came to the House of Goksel. The father of Mrs Akeno himself is none other than a good relative of Clara. He persuaded his nephew with the frills of Akeno's name that followed Aksa.

“This is a good opportunity. Unification of two large families, this will be the biggest moment in history.”

Too many things are happening. Too many considerations also flashed on Aksa's head. What a request the girl had. All flashed like a tangled thread inside his head. And one more thing made her dilemma, which was the feeling of love that brazenly appeared and was present in her heart to Jea.

“Kak Aksa why?” Jea broke Aksa's daydream.

The young man was currently standing on the balcony of their room while leaving the patio door open. It always bothered Jea. The girl got the flu so easily, and she hated it so much.

But whatever is related to Aksa, he always does it with caution. He did not reprimand her, only choosing to accompany her and go late with her under the night wind.

“Why are you here? What about the flu?” aksa said worriedly as she took off her jacket and attached it to Jea's shoulder.

“Wear the right one, let it not be too cold.”.

He confirmed the jacket's position on Jea's body and helped the girl to wear it. But the girl's hands were so mischievous, she grabbed Aksa's hands so close, so tight that she finally positioned herself in Aksa's arms.

“Gini belief warmer.” Said smiling. The girl managed to make the young man's heart almost jump out.

Jeez Jeana, what are you doing? gerutu Aksa who is no longer able to control his feelings.
