My employer, my husband
Chapter 57

"How's Adriela? Will you be my lover? But--"

Aditya's words are paused. Aditya's face was sad when he looked at Adriela at that moment.

"But why, brother?"

Aditya exhaled a long breath before he continued his words.

"Actually I'm not a good man, Driel. My past is so disgusting. I once hung out freely with one of those women who now knows where she is. At that time I did intend to marry her, but it turns out she was just playing with me, she just wanted my money and stupidly I believed her that she was indeed in love with me" Aditya said.

For a moment, Adriela began to think. Is he willing to accept Aditya along with his bleak past. Aditya was at that time. He could not force Adriela to accept him.

"How, Driel. I will not force you to accept my love. If you can't, say 'no'" said Aditya resigned.

Adriela stared fixedly at Aditya's two beautiful netra and she was sure Aditya had changed and sincere to her. Slowly Adriela nodded her head.

"Yes, Brother. I'm willing to accept Brother to be my lover."

"really? Th-this seriously? I didn't hear wrong, did I?!" aditya cried as if he did not believe what he heard.

"Yes, Brother. I'm serious."

Aditya suddenly got up from his seat then approached Adriela and hugged the girl's body and took her around in circles with him.

"Sister Aditya, come on! We are seen by many people" Adriela said, covering her face in shame.

"Oh, yes. Pardon me! I'm a reflex."

Aditya lowered Adriela's body and allowed the girl to sit back in her chair.

"So-now are we officially dating, Adriela?" aditya asked with a radiant face.

"Yes" Adriela replied with a red face.

. . .

After Aditya drove Adriela home, the girl rushed towards her room with a bare face. A sweet smile continued to shine on her beautiful face that night.

When he passed through Ardhan's room, his older brother was already waiting for him with a sour face.

"Where have you been, Driel?"

"Ehm, dinner with Brother Aditya, sister."

"Come here, Brother wants to talk!"

"Aw! Slowly, Brother. Adriela's hand hurts!" adriela screeched as her hand was forcefully pulled by Ardhan entering her room.

Ardhan let go of the girl's hand and sat her on the edge of the bed.

"Why did you accept the man's invitation? Didn't you know that Aditya was Keyla's lover? Are you crazy enough to be the third person in your best friend's relationship!" annoyed Ardhan while rounding his eyes looked at Adriela.

Adriela instead chuckled when she heard the older sister's annoyed remark. While Ardhan is increasingly confused by Adriela's attitude. Instead of feeling guilty or sorry, her sister laughed without any regrets on her face.

"Good yes, you! People are worried about you, you look happy, instead" Ardhan once again.

"Then, I thought the same as Brother that Aditya is Keyla's lover, but after Aditya told the truth, now I'm not worried anymore" Adriela replied casually.

"What do you mean, Driel? Brother doesn't understand."

"Tell me, brother! ...."

Adriela begins to tell the story of Aditya and Keyla's true relationship. Ardhan's expression then changed. His face was red with embarrassment.

"So that's just their lie?" tanya Ardhan stammered.

"Yes!" Adriela grabbed Ardhan's hand and then grabbed it. "If if Big Brother does have feelings for Keyla, it is time for Big Brother to confess his true feelings to the girl. Maybe he is getting tired of his struggle. But you don't give up, keep chasing him and conquer his heart again" Adriela said.

There was a sweet smile on Ardhan's face. "If it's true, then I'll fight it back."

"Okay, donk! His name is man!"

After having a long conversation with Ardhan, Adriela grew tired. He was sleepy and had yawned several times in front of Ardhan.

"Sister, I'm sleepy. I'm back first, yeah!"

"Yes, okay. Thanks for the information."

Adriela left and went from Ardhan's room to her room.

After Adriela's departure, Ardhan began to plan things. Start a new relationship with Keyla and hope that the girl can return to what she used to be.

"Alright, Key! This time we switched positions. You used to be chasing me, but now I'm going to chase you until you're tired of running from me" Ardhan said with a smile.
