Forced to Marry: Buleku's Husband
Chapter 8. Lonely

Mr. Narendra and Mrs Charlotte decided to return to France after spending a month in America with her son and daughter-in-law.

"Are Mommy and Daddy really going back to France this soon?" asked Ara with her sad face.

"real darling. Because there's a lot of work your father-in-law has to do. Although Hans has been appointed as CEO of HH Corps, the main task is still held by Daddy Narendra. Because Hans is too young to handle two companies at once" Charlotte explained.

Ara hugged her mother-in-law spoiled. "If Mommy leaves, Ara will be lonely."

"Basar spoiled child. There's still your husband, Hans, and Mrs Lovely. Besides, if you're bored, you can go to Jasmine's mansion" Ms. Charlotte said.

Ara hugged tighter and tighter.

"Mommy knows how you feel, baby. It's your first pregnancy and you're away from your mother. You must be scared and anxious, right?"

Ara nodded. Lady Charlotte smiled.

"Mommy also experienced it when pregnant Helena first. Mommy wasn't with Mommy either. Because Hans' grandmother had died before Mommy married Daddy Narendra."

Ara broke her embrace and looked at her mother-in-law in disbelief. Ara felt bad.

"Ara's sorry, Mom," he said.

"Why are you apologizing. You're not wrong, Ra."

Lady Charlotte pinched Ara's nose in anxiety. Ara smiled shyly.

The next day, Hans and Ara drive Mr. Narendra and Mrs Charlotte to the airport. Ara's eyes twitched as she held back the tears as her mother-in-law bid her farewell.

"Be careful Mom, Dad. When you arrive in France later, Mommy should immediately contact Ara yes," said Ara while hugging her mother-in-law.

"Definitely darling. Once we get there, Mommy will call you right away."

Ara wiped away her tears that started to drip.

"Hans! Take good care of your wife and children. If you're having trouble, you can call Daddy" said Mr. Narendra.

"Good Dad. Daddy and Mommy be careful. And thank you for accompanying us this month. Your presence has made Ara more cheerful and happy" Hans said.

Mr. Narendra nodded with a smile. He whispered to Hans.

"Daddy knows your relationship is still cold. Daddy also knows if you're sleeping in a different room."

Hans rolled his eyes. Mr. Narendra poked his lips.

"At least during this one month you can feel the warmth of your wife's embrace" added Mr. Narendra, who made Hans misguided.

Mr. Narendra couldn't help but laugh.

"You have to keep fighting and never give up. Daddy is sure that someday Ara will be yours to the fullest" said Mr. Narendra to encourage his son.

Mr. Narendra and Mrs Charlotte say goodbye, then get into their private jet. After his parents died, Hans drove Ara home to the mansion. There was sadness on Ara's face.

"Do you want anything? We're outside the mansion" asked Hans.

Ara shook her head. "Take me back to the mansion."

Hans drove his car. Silence enveloped the two during the journey. Upon arriving at the mansion, Ara immediately entered into her room. Ms. Indah and the other maids have moved Ara's belongings there. While Hans left for AH Corps because he had a meeting with one of his important clients from Brazil.

Ara was happy to be able to occupy her room again. However, it made her even more lonely as she had gotten used to sharing a room and living with Hans. The amount of work that Hans had to complete in the company, making him often come home late because he had to overtime with his men. It made Ara upset because the mansion felt increasingly quiet.

"What happened to your eyes? Are you sick?" hans asked who had since noticed Ara's puffy eyes.

The two were in the dining room to enjoy their dinner.

"I'm fine" answered Ara briefly.

"Is your waist still hurting? Have you slept well for a few nights?" Ask Hans again.

"Yes, that's it."

Ara focused on her food. Hans finished his meal quickly. After that he went to his study without saying anything more. Ara put down her spoon even though the food on her plate was still there. He refused to continue his eating. Ara got out of her chair and went to the kitchen to wash her dishes along with Hans's.

"What does Non-Ara do? Let Ms. Lovely do the dirty dishes" said Ms. Indah who was surprised to see Ara in the kitchen.

"It's okay, Mom. Only two plates. I did it out of boredom" Ara replied with a smile.

"Non Ara wants a drink now or later?"

"Let's go, Mom. I'm still full."

"Oh yes already. I'll take you to the room, Non."

"Thank you, Mom. I'll go to the room first."

Beautiful Mom nodded with a smile.

"Where's Mom? Wasn't he still eating?" ask Hans.

"Non Ara has returned to Master's room" replied Ms. Indah.

"Kc.. He must not have finished his meal."

"Oh yes Mom. Has Ara been sleeping well for a few nights? Did she cry?I saw that his eyes were puffy" asked Hans.

"Alhamdulillah Non Ara sleeps soundly Sir. Every night I always wipe the back and waist of Non Ara before going to bed. I came out of the room after Non Ara fell asleep, Sir," Ms. Lovely explained.

"It looks like Non Ara did end up crying, sir. These few days Non Ara looks moody and lackluster. Non Ara felt lonely after Mr and Mrs Big Lady were not in this mansion," he added.

Hans nodded slowly.

"Is this milk for Ara?" hans asked as he looked at the milk placed on the tray.

"Truly Sir. I'm taking her to Non Ara's room."

"Let me bring it. Bu Indah just rest and do not need to go to Ara's room."

Hans immediately took the tray off the table.

"But Sir," said Ms. Indah.

"Although Mr. Hans was cold, Mr. Hans was very attentive with Non-Ara. Hopefully Mr. Hans and Non Ara can immediately love each other and their marriage lasts," muttered Bu Indah accompanied by prayer.

Geck... Geck...

"Lake in!" a cry from inside the room.

Hans opened the door and closed it again.

"Just put the milk on the table, ma'am. I'll have a drink later" said Ara.

Ara sat cross-legged on the bed. He was busy twitching his swollen legs so he did not know if Hans was the one who entered his room. Not getting an answer, Ara raised her face. She was shocked to see Hans in her room.

"What are you doing in my room? Where's Beautiful Ma?" ask Ara.

"I told Ms. Indah to rest" Hans replied as he placed the tray on the nightstand.

"thank you. You can come out now" said Ara a little sniffy.

Instead of leaving, Hans went up to the bed and suddenly made Ara shocked.

"W-what are you doing? Get off my bed right now!" snapped Ara scared.

"Straighten your legs." Hans pulled Ara's leg slowly, but Ara refused.

"What do you want? Don't come any closer!"

Hans let out a rough breath.

"Calm Ra. Trust me, I promise I won't do anything that will hurt you. I just want to massage your feet" Hans said in a soft tone.

Ara blinked her eyes.

"When we stayed in one room first, have I ever done anything bad that you hated? I'm not gonna do anything."

Hans pulled Ara's leg slowly and placed it over his thigh.

"Why did you do it?"

"Because you're having trouble massaging it yourself. And I am your husband. I'm obligated to help you," Hans replied which made Ara speechless.

"Why don't you ask others for help if you're having trouble, Ra? At least you can ask Ms. Lovely for help or me" Hans said.

"Beautiful Mom looks tired. Today there is a lot of homework that he does. And how could I dare to disturb you. Lately you have been very busy, even too busy," said Ara cynically.

"I'm sorry."

Ara widened her eyes. "What are you apologizing for?"

"I'm sorry if some days I have to be late and go home late. Because there's a lot of work in the office that I have to finish. Many large tenders were taken by AH Corps as well as HH Corps. I know you're feeling very lonely right now because of Mommy and Daddy's departure to France."

"I understand. You don't have to worry about me" said Ara.

Hans massaged both of Ara's legs in turn. It was undeniable that Ara enjoyed Hans' hand massage. Without feeling Ara carved a thin smile on her lips. The attention Hans gave made his heart ache vaporize.

"Did it feel better?" ask Hans.

Ara nodded. "thank you. You can get out now. Isn't there a lot of work you have to finish? You should rest too."

"I'll go after making sure you sleep."

Hans took a glass of milk and gave it to Ara. Ara drank her milk up the toilet. Hans put the empty glass back on the tray.

"Now lie down and find your most comfortable position. I'll rub your waist and back."

"But Hans!"

"I don't accept rejection. Do you have the heart to call the beautiful ma'am who is resting right now?" sahut Hans's.

Ara shook her head.

"Then obey me now. I'll make sure if I don't sleep in your bed." Hans convinced.

Ara who had felt her body tired was immediately lying on her side. Hans rubbed his back gently. Hans's hand was the most comfortable so it didn't take long for Ara to fall asleep fast.

At midnight, Ara suddenly woke up. He no longer saw Hans in his bed. Slowly, Ara got down from the bed to fetch water on the nightstand. Ara was surprised to see Hans sleeping on the sofa.

"Why did he sleep here and not return to his room?" mummified Ara.

Ara intended to wake Hans up, but she immediately paused. Hans slept very soundly and his face looked very tired. Ara's hand stretched out and was about to touch Hans' handsome face. Suddenly Ara's hands and body trembled. Ara was like being struck by an overwhelming fear. Ara walked back slowly. He immediately climbed onto the bed and hid inside the blanket with his eyes starting to water.
