Handsome CEO And Secret Wife
Part2 - 126

Time to say goodbye.. 🙏

Arini sprinkled the remaining sow flowers in a small rattan basket onto the moist red earth mound. He even used the tip of his pashmina scarf to label the gravestone that read Saraswati Djenar's name.

"Time passes quickly, huh..?" tian said as he stared at Saraswati's headstone which was being rubbed by Arini's delicate hand. "Although all the problems continue to come, then passed, but more than all that I really hope Grandma is always calm in nature there.."

Arini's head was seen nodding in response to Tian's soft words. In the heart also allows.

In the end they have to live this life bravely, although not everything goes smoothly.

There has been so much happiness created, but it does not necessarily guarantee that everything is never faced with problems.

For the last thing, Arini hesitated. About the greatness of heart accepting disappointment.

I don't know.Even until this moment he was still worried. Do all these things need to be discussed openly..? can the painful thing be kept forever?

Arini's love for Tian forces her heart's greatness to accept everything, burying her is okay. But unfortunately Tian's love for him was better.Make the man always want to look perfect, so even a speck of disappointment like a whip for Tian.

Arini knew that Tian had been trying for a long time. Surviving a decision that is either right or wrong, shouldering a big lie just for not wanting to hurt her heart.

Arini knows what it's like. Since Tian did not even know, how much the man was trying, that much Arini was trying as well. How much Tian did not want himself to be hurt by the truth.. Arini was even more afraid of Tian getting hurt for not being able to look like the perfect man in her eyes.

"Did Rudi leave..?" tanya Arini stomped silently.

Tian nodded, then fell. "I can't prevent it.." The color of his voice sounded filled with sadness.

Well.. Rudi has left today, on his first flight to London. After deciding his plan that will focus on taking care of the business that he just built there, and Tian although with a heavy heart finally must allow, while also leaving his business in London completely into the hands of Rudi.

Rudi refused to talk about his personal matters, as Tian alluded to the future of his fractured relationship with Laras.

Knowing the decision was initially Tian was quite panicked. Arini could even see how Tian's sleep had been disrupted for several days. Because even though Laras sounded fine on the phone, but given Laras' disposition and temperament all this time it felt natural for Tian to feel worried.

"Grandmother must be disappointed in me. I made everything like this. If only I could be more assertive.."

Arini looked up, finding Tian's face filled with sadness.

"I'm just a human being." said Arini as he stared fixedly at Tian. "You used to say that phrase a lot, now I never hear it again.."

"Because it's just a boast."

Arini's eyebrows are perfectly linked. Not expecting to receive a flat speech colored a little disappointed.

"I always felt like I could manage everything. And I said that sentence just as an excuse to reject something I was reluctant to do.." Tian smiled bitterly. "I was surprised because I finally realized that the phrase i'm just a human. I'm just a human being, who doesn't have a super. I made too many mistakes and failures.."

After saying that Tian got up while extending his hand, inviting Arini to come up from there.

Tian was about to invite Arini to move, but his arm had been restrained, making him look at Arini with a look of wonder.

"Let go.."

Tian's eyebrows are getting tangled.

"All the dark shadows that have been chasing you all this time.mistakes, guilt, let go. and leave it in this place.."

Tian gulped his saliva. He is still trying to feel where the direction and purpose of Arini's sentence, no longer want to guess wrong.

"I've thought about it a thousand times" Arini said as he stared fixedly at Tian's pair of eyes. "Darling, I have been content to accept all the truth, my heart has long since revealed it. Everything that happened, whatever it was, was enough for me. I accepted it."

Tian mute. His eyes barely flickered, staring at the nanar Arini who was standing straight in front of him.

"Everyone should know more exactly what can make him happier, because basically life has no measure. Today I want to say everything in front of Grandma, let me do it for you.."

Arini's voice began to tremble.

"Either it's because of Grandma, whether it's because of Laras, honey, please. Don't feel guilty about something that can't go your way. Let's say I'm your selfish wife, but I have to say. It wasn't all your fault. It's not your fault you can't make everyone happy.."

Tian bowed in silence, as he permeated Arini's sentence which was so long.

"My heart hurts so much, but I forgive you. I just can't forgive myself.If in order to keep my heart from getting hurt, you even choose to hurt yourself. Honey, please stop.don't bear it all alone. Invite me to cry with you, too, for I am willing to go through it all, and I want to be a noble wife because I can hold your hand to the end, just like Grandma Saraswati's last wish.."

Then without Tian noticing, the corner of his eyes had been inundated. He looked helplessly at Arini, the next moment he had regained his composure in front of the red mound of earth, with both knees touching the ground.

"Darling.please forgive me. I have made a terrible mistake.I have lied to you for so long.please forgive me.."

Arini's defensive embankment collapsed instantly. Arini moved closer, joined the convalescence next to Tian, hugging the trembling shoulder strongly..

XXXXXX

"That night in the villa.I thought you'd say it. but it turns out.." floating.

Currently they are both in the car, which although the engine has been lit so that a gust of air conditioner can cool the temperature of the car, but the car does not also move from under a shady acacia tree, while out there, Sudir and Haris are seen chatting while waiting for them to finish talking about everything.

"That night at the villa I also planned to say it. but it turned out.." Tian was silent, before his sentence was finished, realizing how cowardly he was back then.

The truth has been revealed, from Arini's determined effort to find the truth through Laras, the night when Laras was about to marry Rudi.

Laras who was so eager to get 'sorry' Arini finally could not dodge when Arini cornered him in such a way.

Tian should have been relieved, because all this time Arini had even prepared his heart.

But when she realized even with a wounded heart, Arini chose to hold back her sadness, hold her in silence for a long time.. his heart felt even more pain, as if it was sliced by a dagger.

Well. right on the same day after the deal between herself and Saraswati happened, the same day Saraswati looked so riled up when she caught herself and Arini making out in her room, the same day Tian learned of the reality of Saraswati's health with stage four ovarian cancer.

All of that has made Tian dark eyes, so that there is only one in Tian's mind, persuading Saraswati to undergo therapy at the cancer-specific Hospital in Guangzhou China, after Saraswati has rejected all the recovery efforts she has offered.

Tian even thinks he can do anything for Saraswati's recovery, as long as he doesn't lose Arini, even if it means that Tian has to cheat the woman.

Meanwhile Saraswati could no longer be bargained, when that night also decided to marry her to Laras.

Tian still remembered it vividly, how Laras kept crying throughout that short procession. The girl did not even expect that Tian and Saraswati would force her to persevere, as she returned home to fight for another love.

It was Tian's promise to Laras. Giving anything Laras wanted, which turned out to be a failure until this moment Tian fulfilled.

While Tian did not have to wait long to free Laras from that unwanted marriage. Not until waiting for Saraswati to heal, because once the first therapy began, Tian was really desperate to release Laras from the marriage bond on the paper, busy with the stages of Saraswati's recovery, and even forgot his own promise.

Long ago all Laras wanted was the love of Rudi Winata. A very impossible desire, because in fact the heart and love of a Rudi Winata can not be owned by anyone else, other than himself of course.

That's what makes Laras feel cheated and not accepted. Laras even chose to be a very annoying and troublesome woman, demanding and arbitrary, all of it was solely a form of protest, because Tian did not keep his promise.

Even though Tian could force Rudi to marry Laras, it remained that Tian failed to give Laras what he wanted. Because what Laras received was not the heart of Rudi Winata who according to his wishes, but a prolonged heartache, a love that was always unrequited, which then all ended in an inevitable separation.

"I feel so ashamed. I look like a cowardly man.."

"My words are you are the single greatest man in the world.."

"I lied to you, because I was afraid that you would disappear.."

"I've forgotten it, because I just want to remember all the good things, that is, when I'm by your side, to be able to strengthen each other at all times. I will not disappear, for I will never lose you.."

Tian rubbed both of Arini's cheeks adorned with a trench, before whispering back slowly..

"I'm a really bad guy. I can even play Rudi and Laras' lives.."

"No. Because let alone you, Laras has even forced himself for so long, but in the end love is not something that can be forced. While Rudi must also be responsible for his actions to Laras. It's all out of your control, baby, you're just doing something you think is good, even if the results aren't in line with what you expect.."

Tian was stuck, the other side of his heart admitted that what Arini said was all right, not just a defense to strengthen his heart.

"I'm sure after this Laras will definitely be fine. He was young, but he dared to decide that he should look to his own future, without having to fight any longer for the sake of the one who did not want to share his heart.."

Then Arini held onto the two fingers of Tian who was drooping weakly on his lap.

"From this moment, we'll start from the beginning. No lies, no secrets, no more hidden.."

Tian looked confident. "I promise to share everything with you, even if it's the worst thing. Arini I'm tired of being everyone's pedestal alone.I need friends.I need people to carry all that together.."

"I've always been there. How do you live looking at me. Am I worthy enough to be someone you can count on..?"

Tian grabbed Arini's body so deeply. "Only you deserve it. Honey, let's prepare ourselves for tomorrow. For Sean's sake and for Sean's brother in here, I promise to be the best Daddy for both of them.."

"And I will also be a good Mommy for both of them." said Arini.

Every word and effort was soothing, flowing gently into the pulse.

Tian could not bear to bend down, only to be able to reach Arini's stomach which still looked very flat, anchoring his deep and long kiss there.

Arini stroked Tian's fine hair which seemed to be creeping around his flat stomach area. Constantly stroking gently with affection that overpowers the universe..

...

Love is just a word, which represents a feeling the word itself cannot describe.

Love is something special..

Love is also something simple..

Love can come because it is used to it..

But love is also a feeling that cannot be forced..

So beautiful..

So complicated..

A wide variety of flavors..

EXPIRE.-

"I'm just a human being." as Tian said.

Sorry, because in fact, Tian and Laras were once married even if only on paper.

Sorry, because in fact, it was Laras who forced Tian and Saraswati to marry.

No body's perfect.Even a person as great as Sebastian Putra Djenar can make mistakes, it remains whether we can be a woman like Arini, who is heartened to be able to accept it.. 🤗

"I'm done with thor..?"

(Yes. it's over.)

"Kok ended up just like that..?"

(Sadly..? aq is sad too.)

"When you want to see the Tian Babang the same bebeb Rico who faced the cravings of Arini and Meta.."
