Hold my hand, dear Forever
71. Explanation

Bryan and Steven had left for school and were escorted by the Bagaskara family driver.

Tasya escorted her granddaughter to school because after all she could not release the two of them to be in school without her supervision.

' May your parents decide to acknowledge you as their children immediately. May you all live happily and you need not lack parental affection anymore!' tasya prayed as Bryan and Steven drove to school.

Meanwhile, Angel and Mario are still in their room.

Angel still can't find the right words to explain all the situations to Mario who seems to be angry with what Angel did to him.

" Please explain everything to me because I'm really very curious!" said Mario in a soft voice because after all he did not want to make Angel feel uncomfortable with his question.

Angel looked at Mario with a sharp look. Angel tries to muster up the courage inside her to explain everything to the man who has been the most beautiful and worst part of her life.

" I just don't want to be used as a tool by you to destroy my family's company that's why I ran away from our marriage. As for the children's matter, I only found out after two months I fled Indonesia. I was intending to abort. But they were very strong and insisted on living in my womb. So I finally decided to continue my pregnancy and give birth to them without anyone's knowledge!" angel said as she clenched her hands together which felt so cold.

Mario scooped his face violently. He seemed to feel very sad and guilty about the difficult time that Angel had gone through because of his careless actions and made his woman feel hurt and misunderstood.

" Thankfully they were great and strong children. So that they can be born safely. Otherwise, I will always blame myself for being the cause of you intending to kill them!" mario said in a trembling voice as he felt guilty.

Angel got up from his seat and approached Mario who looked so depressed at the moment.

" I'm sorry. I'm wrong in this. I used you to take my revenge on Mama Andien and Rosa. But I was so angry when I found out that you didn't love me sincerely. I'm too greedy to want you to really love me. I was very selfish at the time. Please forgive me!" angel tries to calm her own feelings.

Mario seemed to gasp at Angel's confession.

" What do you mean using me to take your revenge on Rossa?" mario asked confusedly.

Angel then recounts all the bad things that happened to her as a child when Andien became her stepmother and Rossa became her stepbrother.

Angel told Mario everything openly so that Mario could understand all the conditions and situations.

" I heard that Rossa and Mama Andien are planning to make you a target for wealth. Therefore I use all means to get close to you in order to become my future husband. But in the end I had to get the fact that I was stuck in my own game. Because I really fell in love and loved you deeply. I lost the fight against myself!" angel said while bowing his head.

" Why do you have to stop in the middle of the road to use me to take your revenge on the person who hurt you? And I would love to be your tool to make them suffer for giving you the worst time of your childhood!" said Mario grasping the palm of Angel's hand that felt so cold.

Angel could feel that the love given by Mario now was Sincere and she felt moved by it.

" I have the plague of my evil intentions of only wanting to use you as an instrument of my revenge against Rosa and Andien's mother by falling in love with you. Therefore I punished myself by leaving you!" angel said with his head down.

" No dear. I never felt that you made me your tool for revenge. But I feel so happy because I can make you feel better after giving a crushing blow to Rossa and her mother for not getting me as her future husband. Do you know what my fate will be when I become Rossa's future husband, and he just wants my treasure without really loving me!" mario's laughter seemed to make Angel become clueless with the male character.

The atmosphere of that morning which should have been filled with intimacy and romance for the new optimist, had to be passed just to explain all the misunderstandings in the past by the two people who loved each other.

" Let's get ready we go to civil records immediately to register our marriage and also to register Steven and Bryan onto our family card!" said Mario while pulling Angel's palm.

Angel held back Mario's hand which pulled him to get up. Angel looked at him fixedly.

" Have you forgiven what I did first? Because I've separated you from your sons?" ask Angel with a pale face because it feels guilty and afraid that until Mario angry with him.

Mario shakes his head and then he kisses Angel's palm. Mario pulls Angel's body into his arms.

" For me to find the three of you in good health, it's been amazing and I thank God for always protecting all of you even though I'm not among you! I'm not mad at you, baby. Because you've been hiding the twins to me and my family" Mario said.

Angel seemed curious to listen to the continuation of Mario's words.

" Will we take Steven and Brian out of my parents' hands?" angel asked while bowing his head.

" Sheven and Bryan would be confused to find out that we are their parents. Though they've been thinking of me as her brother." Angel's voice rattled.

Mario tries to strengthen the woman he loves.

" Let's relax I see Steven and Bryan are smart kids I'm sure they can understand our condition!" mario tries to appease Angel, who still seems not confident, to take Steven and Bryan out of the hands of his parents and make them his son.

After preparing everything, Mario and Angel then meet Bayu and convey their desire to pull Brian and Steven back into their family card.
