The Extraordinary Duda
Love Can't Be Forced

At nine o'clock in the evening, Aara and Amber had already cleaned up all the toys and reading books they had just used to study.

Amber immediately escorted the child onto the bed and covered her body.

"Now Aara's sleeping, yeah. Tomorrow we go to school" said Amber.

"Mama Amber don't go, yeah. Aara wants company, "he asked.

"Yes, Mama Amber is here."

Closing her eyes, Aara asked Amber to hug her small body. Patiently, Amber rubbed the little girl's head until she fell asleep.

Amber knows, her work in taking care of Aara including things that are not troublesome. Moreover, the child he foster is a child who is not too much willing and easily given understanding.

After making sure Aara was really soundly asleep, Amber got off the bed very carefully. He walks out of Aara's room to meet Arion.

Upon arriving in front of Arion's den, Amber knocks on the door. Just for a moment, the door opened and Arion greeted him.

"Come in" said Arion.

"Thank you." Amber nodded. He went in and sat on the sofa where he used to sit while in this room.

"What's important you want to say? Don't tell me you want to leave this house because of my mother's attitude!" exciting Arion. He was worried that Amber was affected by Dayana's bad attitude and gave up on caring for Aara.

"Thank God." Arion was relieved. "Then, what's up?" ask the man. Arion, who used to choose to sit on a single sofa, now chooses to sit next to Amber so that she can see the woman clearly.

"It's about Aara, she's complaining about missing her mother" Amber explained briefly. Arion was silent, he thought for a moment.

"A little bit, you must know about my ex-wife. She was too busy with her affairs, to forget her responsibilities as a mother" Arion said.

"But Aara misses him, can't you persuade him so they can meet?" ask Amber. "The child's longing for his mother cannot be underestimated. It will greatly affect the psychological and mental condition of the child. Because the mother is the most important figure for a child. What's the age of Aara" he continued.

Arion took a long breath. It's not that he won't persuade Claire to meet their daughter. But Arion was fed up with his wife's indifference. Not once did Claire suddenly cancel her planned appointment twice did she have a thousand reasons not to see her child.

"We got married because of a match. We were trying to get through the marriage without even love for a few years. Due to the demands of the family, Aara was born. I thought if there was a child between us then that love could grow by itself, but it didn't. He and I can't be together" Arion said. His eyes stared blankly at the glass shelf containing dozens of bottles of wine.

"Why can't you love her? Isn't she a nice and beautiful woman?" ask Amber. Claire's beauty is not in doubt. The woman is a famous model with a charming body shape and face. All men will be fascinated with it.

"Well, can't love be forced?" Arion asked back.

Amber could not answer, as she had also felt the same way. When he accepted marriage by force, when he tried to force himself to love, not the feeling of happiness that he got, but pain and distress.
