Kei coughed, his breathing tightened again, he felt annoyed, angry and disappointed, but far above all, inexplicably Kei wanted a hug Hardhan could always win him over, right now he desperately needs that hug.
I must be crazy, Inner Kei.
Kei looked at Hardhan who looked very sad, very hit, Hardhan's eyes reddened holding back his tears, he never expected, her husband who was always confident, arrogant and very powerful, it can look like this.
Unable to prevent, his feet stepped slowly towards Hardhan, but Hardhan directly pulled him into his arms, and Kei's cry broke in Hardhan's chest.
"Hiks... Hix... I should have hated you, Hiks... But I can't... Hiks.." sobs Kei while banging Hardan's chest with his fist.
Hardhan's right hand stroked Kei's head, and his left hand stroked Kei's back, then kissed Kei's top, "Don't love, don't ever hate me... I'd rather stop breathing than see you hate me...."
Kei wrapped his hand at Hardhan, though,
"Hiks... I must be crazy... Hix... You've been making me suffer all this time, hiks, hiks... But you can also make me comfortable hiks.." Kei said as he pleased.
"Oh Kei's... Thank you for choosing to go crazy... Instead of hating me." erang Hardan who returned to get a blow on Kei's hand in his chest.
"Four times you tease me at a time like this.." Kei made Hardhan chuckle softly.
For a long time they hugged each other, under the moonlight and stars scattered in the sky, with gusts of wind carrying the fragrance of roses all around them.
After Kei regained his composure, Hardhan distanced Kei as far as his hand, looking at Kei lovingly, letting out his best smile with all his charm, making Kei's cheeks blush red.
"You're more beautiful after you've cried dear." Hardhan's tease again makes Kei pout.
"You must first explain your long relationship with Karina, then I will forgive you completely...."
Hardan sat back on the bench, carrying Kei sitting on his lap, "I can sit on the bench.." Kei protested.
"This is better... I still refuse to let you go. Karina was a good friend of my sister, Anindira.they were friends since Junior High, and Karina used to play at my house a lot. Anindira tried to match me with Karina, she said Karina really likes me. Of course I rejected it, in my heart there was already you back then. I prefer the shadow of the toothless five-year-old girl, rather than the pretty girl of my sister's friend."
Kei scowled again, "So I'm not pretty?"
Hardhan kissed Kei on the forehead, "Of course you're much prettier than her. When Karina High School, she was more active in approaching me, and she used to come with my sister on vacation to Paris, and stayed at the penthouse...."
Kei glared at Ke Hardhan, "He slept in our room?" ask her with a disgust.
"No dear... The only woman who ever entered my room was you. Back in Karina, my sister died while celebrating her sweet seventheen at one of the pubs in Paris with Karina. He was hit by a car to death in the spot right in front of the pub."
Kei squeezed Hardan's hand, "Don't go on baby if it makes you sad, I trust you...."
Hardan shook his head, "I have to explain it now, I don't want you to misunderstand him anymore... Yesterday it almost drove me crazy to see you that angry. No, I don't want to feel that horrible thing anymore."
"Karina reasoned that someone grabbed Anindira's bag, so that my sister chased after her but did not see the car coming from her right until she was hit."
"With my bad luck Karina always comes to comfort me, she always comes to the penthouse and accompanies me to drink, many times she seduces me but I always refuse her, I always consider her as my sister. But somehow that night she managed to seduce me, and that was the beginning of our relationship."
Kei grimaced, "Is he still holy then?" ask Kei cynically.
"No... I'm not the first for him. Kei... My relationship with Karina has been going on for eight years... But we were in contact only once, I always managed to resist. And that time on island X, it was supposed to be our second relationship, but instead you're the one who walked into my room instead of her."
"I was suspicious when Karina asked for a relationship once again considering she would continue her studies in Paris, apparently at that time she was pregnant. And you, my dear, have inadvertently saved me from fathering another man's son."
"I found out after I followed her to Paris, and it turns out she's been a sugar baby one of the top businessmen there, and that businessman was also present at my sister's show."
"Let's... The reason I stayed that long with Karina was because I suspected that she was one of the causes of my sister's death. I have to keep an eye on him, but trust me Kei... I only touched it once."
"Yes I believe" Kei said.
"I had to pretend to be nice in front of him, just so he wouldn't suspect that I was investigating again about my sister's death. I deliberately grew my business in Paris, because the more relationships I had there, the more I could ask for help."
"And the party thing... I was actually chasing you down the toilet but she was holding me back, and threatening to tell you that I raped you. So he monopolized my time, and made it look like I was ignoring you...."
"Stupid... Why don't you let her tell me, instead of making me think badly of you." Kei was upset
"Are you going to take that information well? Will your reaction be better than you feeling like I'm ignoring you? I felt so wrong back then Kei...."
Kei growled in annoyance, "True mama said... She is a snake woman!!"
"You knew... Karina teams up with Carmel and the two women who gossip in the toilet. And also your ex-husband, Galang."
"Galun? Where did he know Karina? And how do you know they planned all that?"
"I assigned some of my men to keep an eye on Galang, for at least six months. I must completely prevent him from meeting you, and take you back from my hands. My men reported their meeting, complete with the sound of the conversation. You can listen to the voice recording if you don't believe."
"I believe in you. Is the six-month agreement still in effect?"" ask Kei.
"I firmly say, I never considered the agreement to exist. I made it just because I wanted to tie you up longer with me, and I was determined to make you fall in love with me before six months."
Kei grinned widely, "How about all that time I didn't fall in love with you?"
"I'll probably kidnap you, and take you as far away from her as possible, maybe we'll live abroad. And I'm gonna keep getting my charms out until you fall in love with me...."
"You promise you'll do that?" ask Kei tease.
Hardan's laughter broke, "Yes I promise.." she replied and kissed Kei on the lips.
