BXBX NOVEL Chapter 64 - The Reason
"Did you use to make it for Raka?" Aiden\'s voice came from behind her as she prepared various ingredients for the cake.
She didn\'t expect a question so sudden like this that the ceramic spoon she was holding in her hand immediately fell.
The spoon fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Its voice sounded very loud as the room was enveloped in silence.
Aiden\'s face immediately darkened again. Even though he didn\'t see Anya\'s face directly, even though he only looked at her back now, Aiden already knew the answer. He didn\'t need to hear the answer from Anya\'s mouth.
Based on Anya\'s reaction, Aiden knew that Anya must have made this cake for Raka.
That fact made Aiden grit his teeth. Jealousy enveloped his heart again, making his eyes darken.
"There\'s no need to make it. I don\'t want it anymore." Aiden said coldly. He rose from his chair and was about to leave the kitchen.
Anya did not turn to Aiden. She remained silent and said nothing as she crouched down to pick up the broken spoons on the floor. Seeing this, Aiden immediately rushed to stop her.
He held Anya\'s hand, preventing her from picking up the ceramic shards scattered on the floor.
"Let the servants clean it." His gentle demeanor was the opposite of his cold voice.
Even though she heard Aiden\'s words, Anya did not immediately stand up. She remained crouched there and said, "Aiden, I want to do something for you. I want to get closer to you. But you keep using Raka to hurt me. How many times do I need to explain that I no longer have any relationship with him?" Said Anya in a low voice.
She stared at the dried Osmanthus flowers in the large bowl, "I can\'t change the past. But now I just want to make this cake for you. Is that not enough for you?"
Aiden seemed to realize that his attitude was so unreasonable. It was true what Anya said. That woman couldn\'t change her past even though Aiden didn\'t like it. Then what could Anya do if Aiden continued to act childish like this?
Aiden rubbed his face and sighed, realizing how stupid his actions were. Then, he crouched in front of Anya and slowly helped Anya to get up. He didn\'t want Anya to get hurt because of the broken tiles scattered on the floor.
"I\'m sorry," said Aiden softly, stroking Anya\'s head. He told the servants to immediately clean the ceramic shards on the floor so that Anya could continue cooking. Then, he returned to his seat, "I\'ll watch you cook it." He said.
Anya smiled faintly when she saw Aiden return to her place. She immediately returned to cooking.
"Usually I just make drinks from Osmanthus flowers and sell them. At school, I would bring some for my classmates. I rarely make cakes." Anya\'s voice was warm and soothing, like a feather that tickled Aiden\'s heart.
Aiden really enjoyed this sight, seeing Anya wearing an apron and cooking in the kitchen. He could feel peace when he saw it. Just sitting quietly, doing nothing, and watching Anya prepare food for him, he felt his heart calm. He would feel calm as long as Anya was by his side.
It felt like he could do this every day without getting bored in the slightest.
...
At the same time, Nico had arrived in front of the Mahendra Family\'s house to take Raka.
When Raka was about to get out of the car, Nico couldn\'t stop himself asking, "Raka, do you think Anya wants to take revenge on Natali because Natali\'s mother messed up her parents\' marriage? Is that why she deliberately broke the marriage between the Tedjasukmana Family and the Atmajaya Family, and took my uncle from his fiancée?"
Raka frowned when he heard Nico\'s question, "No. I know who Anya is. She wouldn\'t do something like that. Even if she has a bad relationship with Natali, she won\'t do anything bad to her. Let alone being the third person between Natali and Aiden." Raka immediately denied this.
"My uncle can\'t see. He won\'t be able to know what Anya is planning. If Anya decides to marry my uncle for some bad reason, I will not remain silent." Nico said calmly. However, his calm was akin to Aiden\'s—a dangerous calm.
Raka was silent for a moment when he heard Nico\'s words. Then he turned to Nico with a look of disbelief, "What? Your uncle is blind? He doesn\'t look like a blind man at all."
"You were not in Indonesia when the accident happened so you don\'t know. My uncle had an accident about a year ago. Hmm... Forget it. He never shows his weakness. It\'s only natural that you can\'t see it."
Raka could only be pensive when he heard this. How much shocking news did he have to receive today? Aiden didn\'t look like a blind man at all. He looked very normal.
Raka recalled how Aiden managed to take the teacup that Anya had placed on the table precisely. How could he know the objects around him like that if he couldn\'t see?
"I heard that your sister, Raisa, is close to Natali. Be careful! Natali is also a cunning woman. She didn\'t want to marry my uncle because she thought my uncle was blind and pathetic. However, when my uncle canceled their engagement, Natali came to Anya to cause trouble. It\'s not good if your sister is involved with a woman like that." Said Nico, advising Raka, while his best friend was silent pensive.
They were deep in their own thoughts, but not a single one of them moved. Raka had no intention of getting out of the car and Nico did not intend to leave that place either. There were still many things he needed to know.
"How long have you known Anya?" Nico asked.
"I, Anya and your other uncle have known each other since childhood. We grew up together, so I know her very well. One look, I immediately knew Anya didn\'t want to be with Aiden. I have to help her get out of this situation!" Raka said in a determined voice.
"You can forget about that idea as soon as possible, Raka. I don\'t care about your relationship with Anya, but you shouldn\'t find trouble with my uncle. If anything happens to you, I can\'t do anything about it." Nico said with a deep sigh. It was really hard to be in the middle of a complicated problem like this.
"I have no intention of looking into trouble with anyone, but I can\'t see Anya suffering. When I came back this time, I just found out why she broke up with me three years ago." Said Raka with a sad and regretful face.
"My mother gave her the money and told her to leave. She received money from my mother because at that time her mother suddenly became ill." He added.
"Nico, Anya was only seventeen years old at that time. Her mother suddenly fell unconscious due to heart disease. She is alone. Her father didn\'t want to help her and she was forced to separate from me. But I didn\'t know anything and even said many things that hurt her." Raka held his head as if he was in pain.
"Do you think Anya married my uncle because of her mother\'s hospital fees?" Nico asked.
"I don\'t know for sure, but I know she married Aiden for some reason!" Raka said with certainty.
"Actually, I\'m also curious. I don\'t know how good Anya is so that my uncle wants to marry her." Nico didn\'t mean to insult Anya. But for Nico, Aiden was the perfect man. Meanwhile Anya was just a weak woman who couldn\'t do anything without his uncle\'s help. This made him suspicious.
There was one more reason that crossed Nico\'s mind. One of the Atmajaya Group company projects was experiencing a traffic jam because it couldn\'t get a land and the land happened to be owned by Anya\'s mother. Marrying Anya would mean Aiden got to share that land.
Was it possible that Anya married Aiden for money, while Aiden married Anya because of the land? It was only Nico\'s guess. In addition, the project was the company\'s secret so he didn\'t want to discuss it with Raka.
"I will find out. Even if I have to deal with Aiden, I will bring Anya out of her suffering." Raka murmured in a low voice.
Nico just smiled wryly when he heard that. Never once did he see Anya suffer when he was with Aiden. In fact, Aiden loved Anya more than his friend did now.
"By the way, you said earlier that my other uncle also knows Anya? How can Uncle Ivan know Anya too?" Nico asked curiously.
