The Bride Pay

The Bride Pay
Crushed


Elsewhere in front of the blazing television, Aaron clenched his strong hands, his face crimson with teary eyes.


Hayley got up from her seat and put away the glass cups and the flower vase on the table.


"Honey, this is an expensive glass if it breaks," Hayley's mind, she thinks Aaron will go berserk and slam everything in front of her, so before that happens, Hayley acts first.


Hayley clearly saw the face of Aaron who initially looked so happy now changed with a burning anger.


Really, if the sight of the eye can burn, then the television screen must have been charred by now.


Aaron's breath rose and fell, his hands still clenched between his knees, eager for the man to dodge the sight before him, yet the heart still asked, is it true what he is currently witnessing?


"Mrs. Ice, are you okay?" hayley asked trembling, he knew that Aaron was not doing well, so stupid he had asked what was clearly visible.


Aaron flinching, he was still sitting in his place as his eyes continued to look spitefully at the television screen.


"How is Miss Kathrine, surprised?" asked Margaret, she looked cynically at Kathrine.


"Come, say something. Don't just shut up" continued Margaret, she looks very stoic face to face with her husband's snatch woman.


Maybe if it was another woman in her current position, Kathrine was battered in the claws, in the crest, in the kick and in the beatings full of hatred, but not with Margaret, Margaret, she taught her husband's mistress a classy way.


A man wearing a black suit ran up onto the stage in a hurry.


"Oh, this is it, my husband. No! I mean, ex-husband." Margaret greeted Bob so calmly.


Bob slapped Margaret hard, the man did not care about the dozens of cameras that highlighted and live-streamed the event on national broadcasts.


Having the opportunity to run, Kathrin got off the stage and ran away as quickly as possible avoiding the pursuit of journalists and media crews, the woman was crying hysterically while holding her chest tight.


Now Kathrine is not just losing her self-respect. His career, reputation and all his dreams have been destroyed, he will be known as a mistress, the usurper of people's husbands, can even be said he is a pel*cur, a self-seller for popularity.


After Kathrine's departure, with only the commotion about Margaret and her husband on display, Aaron gets up from the couch, walking to his room.


Hayley kept an eye on him, fearing that Aaron would do anything harmful or even hurt himself.


Hayley peeked out of the door of the room that wasn't completely closed, Aaron was calling someone.


"Kath," said Aaron in a soft tone.


"Darling .. dear. Don't get me wrong, it's all ...."


Click!


Aaron turned off the phone unilaterally, no matter what his purpose was to call Kathrine in this situation, but his heart still did not believe what his lover had done.


For a moment, Aaron closed his heated eyes, his chest hurt so much, he gave all his heart to Kathrine, and she now smashed it into nothing.


"I love you so much, Kath. I waited for you for years, I sacrificed myself even willingly to marry another woman for your sake, then ...."


The cell phone in his immediate grasp he threw at the wall, smashed to pieces.


"Look, the phone is destroyed, but I can still buy it again, even nicer and more sophisticated. But my heart, just broken without being able to fix it," Aaron muttered with teary eyes, he sat down with his face looking down at the floor.


Hayley ran in, she hugged Aaron. This time the girl was so slashed to see the weak and fragile Aaron.


"I know it hurts a lot" Hayley said softly, drowning Aaron in the face of his chest.


"I ... did not expect." Aaron whispered softly, now the man who always looks strong with his style so cool and charming turned fragile, the man was destroyed, leaving nothing left.


Silent, Haylay no longer wanted to answer, he let Aaron stay in his arms, the man only once shed tears, then then only silence with a flat face.


Long enough they hugged in silence, Hayley finally asked Aaron to rest.


"You rest first, Mr. Ice. I'll drop you off for lunch in a minute" Hayley said, taking Aaron to his bedside.


🖤🖤🖤


Hayley looked for her phone left in the room, she heard the sound of the phone ringing continuously.


"Hayley, where the hell is it?" alex jolts from the phone.


Hayley replied, Alex spoke again. "Aaron is okay, right?" tanyakanya.


"you reckon? he was in great shock, Alex," Hayley replied.


"I'm going home today, maybe a new night comes, too" Alex said, then switched off the phone.


Hayley breathed a little relief, at least with Alex present, she would feel helped facing Aaron who was in this state.


Alex decides to take Melanie home soon. After all, Aaron was his brother, he couldn't possibly let Aaron go through all this alone.


Hayley tells Laksmi not to bother Aaron for the next few days, Hayley takes over all the waiter duties to take care of all Aaron's needs as long as the man has not improved.


Carrying a tray with a lunch menu and some fresh fruit, Hayley reentered Aaron's room.


"Wanna eat?" hayley asked, he sat by the side of the bed watching the dreamy Aaron.


Aaron shook his head slowly, he did not heed Hayley's presence at all.


"Eat, hunger can not reduce heartache, which there is even more abdominal pain," he continued.


Long enough for Hayley to sit down, Aaron still didn't care about it.


"Well, if you don't want to eat, I put it here, yeah," Hayley said, putting a tray on the table near Aaron.


🖤🖤🖤


Until night time, Aaron didn't even come out of his room.


"Where's Aaron?" alex asked suddenly into Hayley's room without excuse.


"In his room, find him here" Hayley replied annoyedly.


"Yes too, yeah," inner Alex, he felt stupid himself.


Alex had not had time to change clothes and clean himself, he immediately met Aaron in his room.


Slowly Alex opened the door to Aaron's room, he saw the man sitting on the sofa staring out the window that was not covered in curtains.


Alex approaches, he sits next to Aaron, but does not want to say hello first, Aaron who is aware of Alex's whereabouts, somehow he feels a little relieved.


"Alex," said Aaron. "It turns out you were right" he added.


"I never lied, Aaron. You are my brother and best friend" replied Alex.


"I'm a fool, I think that by giving him freedom, our relationship will be better" said Aaron Parau, he held tightness in his chest.


"I did everything for her, gave her all the love and everything, and even made Hayley a paid wife to give her a career opportunity."


"I even hit you because it reminded me. Alex ... I'm, sorry."


"I know you're stupid, Aaron. You're crazy, doing anything for a cunning woman like Kathrine, but you're still my brother, so I forgive you" he sighed, in fact he still felt very upset and disappointed with Aaron, but deep down, he must be willing to understand Aaron's current state.
