FOREVER HATE YOU'S
51. Seriously?

Brianna still doesn't think about her meeting with Caitlyn. He thought about it while stirring his food on the plate.

"You don't eat? Spend your food so you don't get sick like me" said Arthur, who realized Brianna was daydreaming.

"Y-yah," Brianna replied briefly.

"Are you still thinking about Caitlyn?" ask Arthur later.

Brianna raised her gaze at the man. "You remember? Why did you say you didn't remember who he was?" he asked back.

Arthur slicked his shoulders. "I just don't want him to remind me of the past because it will make me very angry with him later" he said.

"Why?"

"She's the one who's always bullying you" Arthur replied frankly.

But Brianna's speech also made Arthur gasp. "Aren't you the same as him?"

Arthur fell silent. He knew that he and Caitlyn were eleven and twelve in terms of torturing Brianna. But Arthur did it as a protest against Brianna's once-unable folly against Caitlyn and the genk. Caitlyn, on the other hand, bullies Brianna purely because she hates the woman.

"I knew I was too outrageous. I even hate myself." Arthur grabbed Brianna's fingers on the table. He grasped it and looked at Brianna fixedly. "Then let me make amends for my mistakes by protecting you from now on" he continued.

There's something Arthur regrets in his life that he shouldn't have been involved in bullying Brianna. It should have been him who protected the woman for a long time but unfortunately Arthur had not realized his feelings for the woman. He was able to interpret his sense of sadness after their togetherness that night, 4 years ago.

"You know, I've been tormented since that night. I feel guilty for you. I was afraid to get in touch with anyone. I shut myself off from all women's temptations and I never slept with anyone but you."

Arthur's words left Brianna flabbergasted, but she didn't just believe it.

"really? Why do I doubt the truth of your words" said Brianna.

"I swear."

"But you call women often," Brianna laughed with a smile.

"Yes, just limited to helping me with ..." Arthur did not continue his sentence clearly. "You must know what I mean" he continued.

Yep, yeah, little Brianna certainly knows the rules of Arthur's game that calls women because he was once one of the service providers for Arthur but who can guarantee if Arthur had slept a lot before woman. I don't know, whatever. Brianna tries to ignore it even though she is also curious about the truth of Arthur's remarks about just having that relationship with her.

"I can't forget you since that night" Arthur admitted.

Brianna only responds with a thin snail.

"Your mother went to the Zach Apartment last night" Brianna said, choosing another topic.

"I know." Arthur has also received reports from people he asked to watch over his son from a distance.

"You told him to?" guess Brianna.

"No. He came of his own accord."

Brianna nodded her head. "He asked Zach if you'd come and tell Chico that you're his real father."

"My mom acts fast, sometimes I'm proud of her" Arthur said casually.

"Arthur ..."

"Hmm? I said it right, Bri. Should I thank Mom? He represents to apologize to Zach, even though I can do that later."

"Until now I was confused where to start with Chico from."

Arthur patted Brianna on the back.

"He's my son, he'll understand very quickly" the man said.

"But, Arthur... I was thinking if he didn't accept you."

Arthur fell silent, he didn't think of getting there. His high self-confidence always says that Chico can accept it later.

"Hows it? What if he doesn't accept you? What are you gonna do?"

"I will try to persuade him. I'm sure Chico will understand." Arthur said in a trembling voice, he was also not ready to accept the rejection from the child. He had yet to get an acceptance from Brianna, how could he also be rejected by his own son?

"I don't guarantee it."

"Then from that, tell him the good about me, Brianna. I really want to build our little family. Even if in your eyes I'm a jerk, then don't let my son know how bad his father is." Something broke Arthur's heart in there. He remembers his youth being spent with many mistakes, he did not want Chico to grow up to be like him, he wanted Chico to have a complete family.

"You okay?" Brianna tries to reciprocate Arthur's attitude of concern for him in the same way.

"Yes. i'm okay" replied Arthur with a forced smile.

"You sure? do we just go back to the hotel so you can rest?"

Arthur nodded without saying anything more.

In the hotel lobby, Brianna ventured to ask the man.

"Yesterday you asked me to open up to you, you wanted me to be able to tell you how I felt. You can often guess the contents of my head, but honestly I find it hard to dive into what you're thinking. Arthur, I realize that you know too much about me, but I don't know very little about you, so .. will you share with me what you feel when you talk about Chico?" Brianna looked at Arthur hesitantly, fearing to offend the man's privacy because what Brianna was asking at this moment could have made the other side of Arthur refuse his request.

"We go to my room, I'll tell you everything."

Brianna is stunned, she just wants to know a little bit but Arthur offers all the man's privacy for her to know?

All right, Brianna's according to enter Arthur's room again. He was sitting on the sofa, right next to the man.

"You know, I always think about Chico's future after I find out I'm his father."

"Yes, that's natural. Where is his fault? Why do you suddenly look sad?" response Brianna.

"You may doubt these words of mine, but I approach you to seize your heart not only for myself but also for Chico's future. I don't want our relationship to fall apart in the future, causing Chico to grow up to be a young man like me. I was a broken home kid who grew up in the frenzy of my parents' quarrels" explained Arthur.

Brianna now gets it. Arthur does not want Chico to be a child like the figure Arthur used to be where he lacks the affection of his parents.

"Then from that, Bri. From the beginning I chose to let you down first, and then I'll meet Chico if you're ready for our relationship. Because to be honest, I want our marriage to never end. I'm so serious about it."

Brianna could only shut up. In silence he thought what Arthur said was the truth. He is also not willing if later Chico grows into a figure of a broken home child like Arthur used to experience.

"I don't want another Arthur or another Brianna to be the victim of a young man like me. The young man who lives as a loser even does the wrong way to grab the attention of the girl he likes."

"Alright, Arthur. I'll explain to Chico about you even though I'm still confused about how to get started. We're going back to New York the day after tomorrow, and be prepared to accept whatever Chico decides your sudden presence in his life."

"I'm sure she'll accept me. .. If you accept me, Brianna, too." Arthur cupped Brianna's cheek and stroked her gently.

"I'll accept you."

Arthur was stunned by Brianna's answer. "really? You serious?" tanyakanya.

"Well, you said we were dating, didn't you?"

"But I don't want to break up and split up, for Chico's sake, hum?" Arthur points his little finger, hoping Brianna welcomes it and promises not to leave.

"What to?" ask Brianna.

"Yes. You have to."

"All right." Brianna fused their little fingers together into a tangle with each other.

Arthur smiled with satisfaction. She was relieved to be extraordinary because Brianna finally understood her wish. From now on he promises to make Brianna his happiest wife. He will make up for all his mistakes in the woman by being a husband who is alert and certainly best understand what the wife wants.

"May I ask you something?"

Brianna clucking. "Nothing has been much demand," he lamented.

"One only. As a sign that you've really accepted me."

"What?" ask Brianna.

"If Chico agrees and thinks of me as his Daddy. I want our wedding to be unveiled at the altar."

Brianna looked at Arthur in disbelief. "You sure? That serious?" tanyakanya.

"Didn't I tell you I didn't want to part with you? a church wedding will bind you forever with me and I want to say the wedding vows to you."

Brianna nodded and Arthur immediately grabbed her body in his arms.
