I Found Love With You
169. Wait around

The sound of gunfire made Sadiyah and Alena surprised.

“Len, who got shot?”

“Lena don't know, Teh.”

“Tep, have a look there!” sadiyah's orders.

“Command A Endra, I must be here to accompany Teh Iyah and Lena,” said Atep firmly.

“Teteh worry, Tep. Teteh worried something happened Aa.”

“A Endra will be fine, Tea. There he was with his men. They must have protected him,” Atep explained calmly.

“Iya, Tea. There is also Kiran and her team. They are very experienced in dealing with even the most severe situations. If Atep leaves and we both stay here, it'll be more dangerous. Now Lena even regretted the meaning of coming along. We will not be able to do anything to save Aras,” said Alena.

“Already, Len. Don't regret what happened. What matters is that you survived. I will protect you even with a life bet though.”

“Do not talk carelessly, Atep Dananjaya. If you dare to get hurt, Teteh will not forgive you.”

Atep chuckled at Sadiyah's threat.

“If you get hurt keep dying, I'll marry someone else.” Alena is not losing out on threats.

“Who would want to marry? It's fine as long as he's kind and loves you as much as I love you.”

“Alena! Atep's! Stopit! What the fuck are you guys? Discreetly talk. You have never felt separated and missed the person you love. It hurts and you guys won't be able to imagine it.” Sadiyah started to get annoyed with the conversation between her sister and sister-in-law.

“Iya, Tea. Sorry,” Og Alena.

“Dengerin Teteh. Lena, don't you ever talk about finding another man right away after parting ways with Atep either because of death or for some other reason. You won't be able to. Atep, you also do not want to say dead, then hand it over to another man. You won't be able to either. Trust the same Teteh.”

“Your jokes make Teteh even more worried. Basic sister doesn't know herself.” Sadiyah lightly hit Atep's shoulder.

There was another simple gunshot.

“Tep, how is this? Should we just wait here? Teteh is worried about Aa, Tep. Aras too. How a child as small as Aras experienced this terrible thing. Teteh worries Aras is traumatized by what he experienced.”

“Wait here, Tea. Atep wants to see things first. Tetuh and Lena don't go anywhere. Stay here.” After Atep ensured the safety of Sadiyah and Alena, he walked far enough to monitor the situation. He also felt very worried after hearing the shots that continued to understate.

“Lena is also very worried, Tea. But we have to be patient. Aa, Kiran, and their team must have defeated the kidnappers. Aa used to have kidnappings, Teh. Aa could definitely help Aras if she had been traumatized. Lena wishes Aras well.”

“Aa was kidnapped, Len?”

“Aa never told Teteh?”

Sadiyah.

“Let Aa have a story, Tea. Lena can only tell if Aa was kidnapped, maybe Aras' age or a little older. Lena was a child at the time, so I don't really remember. I told you a story but not details.

“Why Aa doesn't story yes, Len?” sadiyah Gumam. He felt a little disappointed that Kagendra was still hiding a secret from him. However, Sadiyah did not want to be prejudiced at her husband. Maybe Kagendra didn't tell it because it felt insignificant revealing the terrible past.

“Aa likes taking long showers and is obsessed with cleanliness, right? I don't want to eat anything but home cooking. Mother said, Aa's habits like that are the result of her trauma in childhood.”

“Pantesan, right at the beginning of marriage, Aa is often angry if Teteh is not neat and clean. At first, he did not want to eat the dishes made by Teteh. Maybe because I don't believe in the same level of cleanliness. But now, Aa has changed a lot, it's not taking a shower for long. Now, he took the longest bath as well fifteen or twenty minutes. In the early days of living with Aa, she could shower for up to an hour more. At first Teteh thought that Aa was a metrosexual type of guy, it turned out to have childhood trauma.”

Sadiyah chuckled as she recalled that she used to think that Kagendra was not a normal man.
