Handsome CEO And Secret Wife
Part2 – 019

The silence was long enough, while Arini looked at the face of Tian who was beside him, who was bowed still with the same activity.

“Did all those events have shaken your soul.?”

Tian raised his face to look at Arini while smiling wryly. “Anyone will be shaken if I experience what I've been through.” then Tian shakes his head quickly. “No.. no. not just me. but us. And our souls accept all such tragic events in our own way.”

“About your big secret.. Laras already said it.” Arini had been weighing it up from the start. It was possible that Tian did not have the confidence to say it, but instead Arini was determined to give a sense of comfort to the burden that Tian had been carrying.

Tian speechless. Waiting. Honestly Tian is not too familiar with the term ‘big secret’ that has always been echoed Arini since, who had fooled him to open the opportunity for Arini to set a trap so he was trapped and admitted Laras easily.. as the woman Saraswati wanted to marry. But Tian did not want to fall in the same hole for the second time, so Tian chose to wait rather than wrongly anticipate the circumstances.

“Whatever it is. Whatever you are. I will always be by your side. You don't need to be afraid, because I'm going to go through all of that with you.”.

‘Laras.. actually what have you said to Arini so that makes Arini continue to say this strange sentence.?’

Benak Tian was busy guessing, yet he still insisted on refraining from asking.

“Honey.. since when did you experience it.?”

Tian looked at Arini in silence. ‘Experiencing what.?’ within

confused heart guess.

“It's okay.. just tell me everything.. has your pain been a long time ago ?”

‘Gosh... What else is this ? what pain ?’

Increasingly confused, but still survive in silence because it does not want to be trapped back into the same hole.

“Why be afraid to speak honestly ? I won't leave you just because you've been suffering from PTSD. My love is not that superficial.”.

Tian took his breath away, staring at Arini who was also looking at him pity.

‘Haihh.. turns out this is what is meant by that big secret.?’

So Arini was misunderstood, due to the information given by Laras which turned out to have been wrong all along

surmised.

‘Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. or PTSD is a post-traumatic stress disorder, which is a disruption of mental health conditions triggered by traumatic events either by experiencing it, or witnessing it.’

‘Alright. so far Laras has known it. although in fact he has been mistargeted.’.

“Arini. heard you say that your love is not as superficial it makes my heart relieved. But the truth is I really don't suffer such trauma.”

Arini looked at Tian fixedly as if searching for the answer to the truth within their pair of eyes that looked at each other. “But.. said Laras, eight years ago you very often visited a psychiatrist.”

Tian nodded. “It was true.. but.”.

“Eight years ago, Laras secretly investigated it and finally learned the truth that you are indeed undergoing psychotherapy for PTSD disorder that you suffer from.

Tian wastes his breath heavily. Confused whether to nod or shake. A moment later Tian had already looked at the two eyes of Arini who were staring at him with eyes filled with pity and empathy.

“Darling, Laras, it's true, everything he said is also true. The only thing that's not true is one, that I'm not the patient.”.

Pov eight years ago..

Saraswati entered Tian's room just like that after knocking her first.

Tian who had just put his briefcase on the nightstand simultaneously raised his face towards the

Saraswati with eyebrows linked. “What events, grandma ?”

Saraswati threw her body on the sofa in the corner of the room, making Tian throw her body there, facing right with Saraswati who looked at her with a full gaze.

“It about Barrel.”

“Laras ? what's up with Baras ?” tian's eyebrows grew increasingly intertwined when he realized the topic Saraswati was going to discuss was about Laras.

“A maid accidentally hears in person when Laras expresses his love to Rudi on the back porch.”

At that time Tian was a little stifled to hear it, but then he simultaneously thought.how insistent the girl, because without asking even Tian already knew for sure that Rudi must have rejected Laras again and again. This was not the first time Laras had expressed his feelings, and the innocent girl had never once been told to go back to doing so.

The turbulent love of adolescence is hot. because the reality of the age of Laras not even up to seventeen years, but it has not been counted how many times his love was rejected by Rudi mercilessly.

“Tian.”

“The barracks are still teenagers, grandma... know what he is about love.?”

“Which I heard Laras has even liked Rudi since he was in the orphanage. What is this thing called destiny.?”

“This granny what the fuck ? what destiny is ?” Tian chuckled, trying to dodge their conversation back then.

Saraswati looked at him. “If Rudi is not a good boy.. Regardless of his background, you can't possibly hire him, even giving him your responsibility and trust to such an extent.?” then add again in a tone filled with confidence. “I also feel that Rudi is a good boy. He is suitable for Larasati.”

“That's another about, grandma. Work problems should not be confused with other problems. Rudi I hired professionally, while the grandmother made Laras as part of the family.” Tian had intended to move on. did not want to discuss something that had been echoed by Laras several times in his ears.

“Tian.. You why the hell is this ? there must be a reason why you refuse what I want.”

“I have a reason.” concluded Tian urung moved from his seat.

“You're just making up..”

Tian exhaled his breath heavily. “No, grandma. I mean it. I have a reason.”

Tian looked at Saraswati fixedly with a serious look, while thinking if maybe Saraswati should really know everything, so that Saraswati can understand the problem that makes her survive for so long from the desire of Saraswati who insisted on matching Rudi with Laras.

“If grandma doesn't want Laras to hurt her heart, just keep her away from Rudi. At least at his age now. Let him go to school first and enjoy his youth without having to focus on one guy. Rudi was even much older than herself.”

“You said you had a reason. But you did not even say it. What you said at length earlier was not an excuse.” Saraswati grumbled long short.

Tian looked at Saraswati straight away. “Rudi it hurts, grandma. She has PTSD.”

That instant Saraswati was already stunned from her seat.

“What grandmother is still sure.. want Laras with Rudi ? if grandma insists, I can't do anything. And if I make a decision.. Rudi could do nothing. Rudi will always obey me even if I tell him to jump to the bottom of the abyss. But is this really what grandma wants..? grandma does not worry if in the future Laras will live with someone who is having problems with his mental health.?”

The silent Saraswati looks to shake firmly. “No.. If so, I will oppose Laras' wishes. Least.. Rudi must heal first. or.. or in the future I will find a more appropriate man.”.

Tian raised his eyebrows receiving Saraswati's obvious panic. “So.?”

Saraswati looked at Tian fixedly. His head shook repeatedly. “I will do anything to stay away from Laras from Rudi. no Tian. Baras can not be happy if with people whose lives are still overshadowed by trauma.”
