Billionaire Bride
CH-130 Half my soul is gone

Hanna was in her room when her housekeeper knocked on her bedroom door. With lethargy and a puffy face as he continued to cry, the door opened.

“There are guests, Non,” said the woman.

“Who?” ask Hanna.

“Pak Satria,” replied his ART again.

Hanna was surprised to hear Satria's name. Without a second thought, he directly walked out of his room, running towards the living room.

He saw Satria standing by the door, nearby were her suitcases.

“Satria!” call Hanna.

Satria looked at Hanna in astonishment, the girl looked shabby and her eyes were puffy, further making her wonder if this had anything to do with her brother's departure.

“I deliver your things. Actually my brother told the driver to deliver it but I think it's better that I deliver it,” Satria said.

Hearing Satria's words, Hanna's heart breaks, Damian returns all her belongings, does that mean Damian actually chose to leave her?

His eyes were back in tears, his eyes were already sore from crying.

“Come in!” take Hanna.

Satria brought the suitcases in and stored them near the wall not far from the door. Then he stepped towards the living room chair, sitting opposite Hanna. For a moment no one spoke. Satria could see the sadness on Hanna's face.

“What has happened something?” satria asked, looking at Hanna.

The fake sister-in-law did not answer.

“My brother left without giving me an explanation, but I'm sure something must have happened, he never behaved like this,” Satria said.

“What do you mean Damian went?” hanna asked, looking back at Satria.

“He left this city, going abroad in a long time,” Satria replied.

These teary eyes dripped back into the water, making Satria sure something had happened between her brother and Hanna.

“Do you guys fight?” satria asked, already unable to contain her curiosity.

Hanna shook her head, her heart was so sad that Damian had completely abandoned her.

“You broke up?” ask Satria again.

Asked as Hanna sobbed.

“Damian left me,” he said on his sobbing, making Satria surprised. Unbelieving her sister to leave Hanna, she knows her brother loves Hanna very much.

“That's what I want to ask. My sister loves you so much, there is no way she will leave if nothing happens,” Satria said.

Hanna wiped away her tears again, looking back at Satria.

“So your sister didn't tell me that Cristian is her sister?” ask Hanna. Hanna's answer certainly made Satria surprised.

“What are you talking about? What do you mean my brother Cristian? That means Cristian is also my brother?” satria asked, looking at Hanna.

Satria's heart seemed to be mixed, between shock and disbelief, he did not understand all this. His mother before going home did not say that, Damian also left not to say anything.

“When Miss Sony parted with your father, she was pregnant, and the baby was Cristian. Damian only found out earlier when he and Miss Sony here will propose to me,” replied Hanna.

Satria was more surprised, he did not think that Cristian was his half-brother.

“So that caused my brother to leave? Because you know Cristian is his sister?” ask Satria.

Hanna nodded. Sariapun. Now she knew the reason for her brother's departure.

Satria looked at Hanna who was still removing the drops of tears. Satria was also confused if the reality was this. Surely her brother relented to let go of Hanna because he did not want to fight with his sister.

“Your sister left me,” said Hanna, the tears came back, then she wiped them again.

Satria felt sorry to see it, there was no more smile on her brother-in-law's lips as well as her brother before leaving.

“Does Cristian know about this?” ask Satria.

“It seems not yet, because her mother Damian also knew Damian and Cristian sister brother when they came here,” replied Hanna.

Satria did not speak anymore, she also felt confused if the reality was like this.

“So Damian really went?” hanna asked softly as if talking to herself.

“Iya. But I know he loves you very much. His heart was also broken. My brother wouldn't give up if it wasn't like this. My brother must have done it because he didn't want to hurt Cristian,” Satria replied.

In her mind she kept thinking what should she do to unite her brother and Hanna? Does he have to talk to Cristian? Since she also knew that her brother-in-law loved her brother, they shouldn't have separated. But maybe Cristian will be hurt if Hanna comes back to her brother.

After returning from Hanna's house, Satria thought hard about her brother's relationship with her brother-in-law. She was not on her brother's side, but she also knew her sister-in-law loved her brother, Hanna must have been forced to marry Cristian. Looks like he should talk to Cristian, he thought.

*************

The night was getting late, the tall body figure was standing on the edge of the pool facing the beach in the distance. The rumbling sound of the waves hitting the reef was still clearly heard from there. The round moonlight shining on the water on the beach caused light in the rustling of the rippling water.

The night wind felt cold piercing the skin, but it seemed as if the cold of the night did not make the figure leave the patch standing. His eyes glared far to the beach, staring at the night in the distance.

A glass filled with drinks was in his right hand, he drank several times until the contents were exhausted. He turned his body, averted his eyes.

Now the look in his eyes saw the magnificent building of a luxurious house he bought at a fantastic price. A house that is not too big but has a very strategic location near the beach with very beautiful architecture. Home of the dream picture of the woman he loves, the woman he now has to eliminate in his life.

The figure of the man is Damian, he did not go abroad, he chose to return to Bali, live in his dream house Hanna, either for a while or forever.

Damian recalls when he bought the house, which he bought all of a sudden because Hanna wanted it. Whether it started where he felt he always wanted to make the woman happy, he did not care about the money he had, he just wanted the woman to look smiling and laughing.

Hanna is the only woman who makes her feel like property is not everything without her presence.  He did not care how much money he spent as long as his woman felt good. But all of that was only a memory, he had to forget about Hanna even though it was very heavy.

Suddenly the sound of shoes walking up the stairs to the pool. From beside the swimming pool appeared a beautiful girl in a dress that showed the beauty of her body. From a distance the girl smiled sweetly, her footsteps getting closer to where Damian was.

“You called me very suddenly, fortunately dinner with my fiancee is over, otherwise tonight you will definitely plunge into that abyss!” said the newly arrived girl, walking closer and closer to Damian.

The girl on her tiptoes would kiss Damian on the cheek, but the man moved away, leaving the girl astonished at him.

“Tumben once you don't want to kiss?” ask the girl.

“I'm used to my wife kissing me. I don't like kisses from other girls, ” Damian replied making the girl laugh then sneer.

“If you love her so much, you shouldn't leave her!” said the girl while sitting on a wooden chair on the edge of the pool, facing the beach.

Damian did not say, he just kept an empty glass on the table, then walked closer to the beach and stood there.

“What are you going to do now? You stay here choose to forget it?” ask the girl.

“There is nothing more I can do,” Damian replied, then turned to the girl and looked at her, leaving the girl astonished.

“What's up?” ask the girl.

“I've lied to Hanna that you're transgender,” Damian replied making the girl stupefied.

“What do you mean? It's good you said that to her! It's worth it he keeps looking at me from top to bottom! You're outrageous!” yelled the girl.

“I'd love to tease her, Maria. He is very funny when he is pouting,” Damian said with a smile.

“I also like to frown, but you never say I'm funny,” said the girl who turned out to be Maria.

“You are not him,” Damian replied, turning back his body staring at the beach again, talking about Hanna made him miss him even more.

“I miss him, always miss him. Even though I have gone far away from his shadow as if to follow wherever I go,” he said slowly.

Maria was saddened to hear it, her eyes staring at the dashing tall man's back.

“You should want to fight a little more, you don't give up like this. You should talk to your sister,” Maria said. Damian did not answer.

“Never have you loved a girl like this, you will find it hard to forget, it is not good for yourself,” continued Maria.

“I don't want to hurt my sister, my sister loved her more than I did. He even liked Hanna from childhood so he chose to stay with his grandfather,” Damian said.  Now Mary is silent.

Damian turned his back to look at Maria, and he saw a chair next to her. Now the shadow of Hanna lying on the chair appeared again. It's true Maria said she won't easily forget Hanna. In her shadow, Hanna was sleeping on the chair itself with a cold waiting for her to come home. Then the shadow disappeared.

“I am his brother, I feel responsible to my sisters, moreover Cristian never saw the figure of a father. His heart would be broken if he knew his brother took his future wife, he would hate me for the rest of his life, I don't want that to happen.” Damian continued.

“But you hurt yourself, your wife too. Don't you think about your wife's feelings? He loves you too, right? Will she be happy to part with you and marry your sister? I guess not! You think about your sister but you forget her feelings! He was also hurt by your attitude,” Maria said.

Damian was silent, Maria was right. Now Hanna must be sad because she left him. She couldn't bear to see Hanna's tears, she wanted to see Hanna smile but she gave the girl some grief.

“He must be sad right now, he must be heartbroken you left him,” Maria continued.

“I have no other choice,” Damian said, while turning his body back to look towards the beach again.

Damian felt that half his soul was gone, he felt empty, his heart was as empty as it was before he met Hanna. Slowly he let out a long sigh, trying to let go of all the burdens he felt.

His eyes returned far to the beach. This view is not much different from the beach where Hanna lived, where half her soul was left there.
