My employer, my husband
Chapter 61

"Ardhan!"

Keyla immediately pulled off his favorite motorcycle and approached Ardhan who was lying on the ground not far from his new bike.

"Ardhan, what's wrong with you?!" keyla asked frantically while shaking Ardhan's body.

Slowly the man opened his eyes. "Oh, God! My head feels like it's spinning!" his weakness.

"Let's help!"

Keyla helped Ardhan get up and limped the man to the side of the road and sat there.

Keyla noticed Ardhan's condition at the time and it turned out that Ardhan was really injured. The jeans he was wearing also look torn due to rubbing against the asphalt.

"I'm sorry, Ardhan," said Keyla with a sad face staring at the gaping wound on the man's leg.

Ardhan chuckled softly. "I'm ashamed."

"Why embarrassed?" ask Keyla.

"I'm ashamed because I'm not as cool as other men, Key. Look at me, even mastering the bike I can't afford. All I can do is dwell on the membrane with onions and terasi, really shameful," said Ardhan with his face bowed and on his face turned a bitter smile.

"Why are you talking like that, Dhan? You should be proud, not everyone can be a good Chef like you. Especially now that you are famous everywhere" said Keyla while sitting next to Ardhan.

Ardhan again threw a wry smile at the girl. "But not anymore, Key. Didn't you see today's news?"

"What news?" ask Keyla curiously.

Slowly Ardhan grabbed his phone from his pants pocket. It turned out that the phone screen was cracked due to a small accident that happened to him just now. He tried to activate his phone and was lucky to still be working, although there were some parts of his screen that did not respond when touched.

Ardhan opened a video submission from his friend and assistant. "Try you see,"

Ardhan handed the phone to Keyla and let the girl see the video playing on her phone screen.

Keyla watched the video. Naura's video that vilified Ardhan's name in front of the entire media crew that he had deliberately invited. Keyla listened to the words that came out of the lips of the beautiful woman very seriously.

"Why can Naura say that about you, Dhan? What did he say was true?" ask Keyla.

Ardhan exhaled heavily, before he answered Keyla's question.

"Yes, Key. What Naura said is true. I'm just a bad guy who used himself to boost my career. Yeah, now that he's proven to me, that he can lift my career up in an instant and he can ruin my career in an instant."

Keyla rounded her eyes. "Ja-so all this time you and Naura?"

Ardhan shook his head while smiling at Keyla. "I'm just using her, Key. For the sake of supporting my career. I, blinded by my obsession, can even do such crazy things."

Ardhan chuckled softly then grabbed Keyla's hand and grasped it tightly.

"Who are you not attractive? I'm not even interested in a Naura-like woman, Key. A woman who spreads her body to everyone. Yesterday I was in shock when you changed your appearance like Naura and I don't want you to be like her, Key. But now that I'm relieved, you're finally back to what you really are" Ardhan said.

"Are you serious?" ask Keyla full of questions.

"Yes" answered Ardhan.

Ardhan gently stroked Keyla's hand which was now within his grasp.

"So--how? Will you be my Keyla again?"

Keyla was silent for a moment while thinking. Although Ardhan's words look very convincing, but deep down in Keyla's heart the deepest still there is fear and trauma. He did not want to fall into the same pain a second time.

"May I ask for some time to think about it, Ardhan?"

There was a heavy sigh of Ardhan. However, the man kept his warm smile.

"All right."

Keyla pulled her hand from the man's grasp and helped him to his feet.

"We'd better get back to my house. I want to treat your wounds" Keyla said.

"How do I get home, my legs can't even stand properly" Ardhan said, watching his feet.

"Bonx with me."

Ardhan chuckled while enduring the pain. "Yes, God! I'm really embarrassing!"

"Indeed you're a shame" Keyla replied indifferently.

After Keyla boarded the bike, Ardhan immediately climbed on Keyla's motorcycle with difficulty. He sat behind the girl and held her on his waist.

"Get a tight grip, I don't want you to fall."

"Ready, Miss!"

Keyla immediately darted with Ardhan towards his residence. While the Ardhan motorbike that was still lying on the road had been handed over to a workshop not far from the place.
