The Five Billion Wife
Chapters 16. Secrets revealed

Bik Narsih rushed to open the door after Mr. Karso called out to her while knocking on the door. They immediately entered the house that felt familiar to Riana. Mr. Karso and Bik Narsih resumed their respective duties.

Riana looked at every corner of the house carefully.

Riana walked over to the size of a fairly large photo. There is a father, mother and also a picture of him as a child. Those memories, one by one, started popping up in his mind. When remembering the accident that occurred at that time, Riana's body suddenly shook. Riana recalled how her father and mother were trapped in a crumbling car.

Her mother, who can still speak, asks Riana to be saved first. Had not been able to help them out, they had already been declared dead.

Riana suddenly became unconscious. Rio panicked and he already did not remember anymore that he was pretending to still be paralyzed. He hurried to his feet and Raised Riana's body into one of the rooms in the old house.

Rio again ran out to return to sit in a wheelchair and look for Narsih's bik.

"Yes, Mr. Rio. Can anyone help?" ask Bik Narsih.

"Please get me some eucalyptus oil, Riana fainted," Rio replied nervously.

Bik Narsih immediately went looking for eucalyptus oil and immediately applied it to the chest and nape of Riana. After that, it is brought close to Riana's nose to be inhaled.

Not long after, Riana began to wake up. Riana still looked puzzled as she saw they were inside the room. He remembered that he had felt his head hurt and after that he could not remember what had happened.

"I why?" riana asked while looking at Rio.

"You just fainted. Can you you not make me panic and worry? If you have a burden or pressure, just tell me. Even though you hate me, at least right now I am your husband. I won't make my wife suffer" Rio said seriously.

Riana did not expect that Rio would say that. It made Riana think again and more curious about the purpose of Rio marrying her. If not revenge, then what?

Riana tried to find the right time to ask. When it's just the two of them, maybe it's time to ask.

"Sorry, Mas. I remember the accident that happened to my family. It also changed the course of my life. I had a mental breakdown and was put in an orphanage," Riana replied with a heavy sigh.

"I'm sorry too. From now on, don't bother me. If you have a problem, talk to me. Don't let it, you are depressed and can have this effect again," Rio said attentively.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you. Mommy, can I ask you a question?" riana asked while sitting leaning back.

"Please," Rio replied beginning to relax.

"Why did you marry me? Taking out that kind of money to take me away from my husband," asked Riana to bring out what had been weighing on her heart all along. Riana was ready with the most painful answer.

Rio seemed to be thinking and maybe at the moment he should not put pressure on Riana. Given that Riana had suffered a lot since childhood, separated from her parents.

"At that time, I was just asking Anwar. I deliberately gave him a challenging offer. I thought, she loves you so much, so no matter what the offer, she would definitely turn it down. But, I was wrong. He was very tempted with five billion dollars and willing to let go of you," Rio replied looking dejected.

"If you don't want me, why marry me? You can make me a maid or a servant in your house," Riana said annoyedly.

"happy?" riana asked in shock. Not family, not friends, what kind of happiness does he mean?

"Well remember this necklace?" rio asked while giving her the necklace she had been keeping all this time.

Riana took the necklace from Rio's hand. She looked at it carefully and she remembered that the necklace was exactly like the one she was wearing. He took off the necklace around his neck and tried to find the difference. But the two necklaces are exactly the same.

Suddenly it flashed through his mind, his childhood with a fat boy. Riana called the child Fat.

Riana looked at Rio suspiciously. There are various questions that Riana would like to ask. However, his mouth seemed to be locked because he was too excited.

Especially when he saw Rio smiling and one nod from Rio that made Riana seem to explode.

"The Fat One, is that you?" riana asked with round eyes.

"I'm annoyed that only now do you recognize me," said Rio spoiled for attention.

"The Fat one, sorry, I really don't recognize you. But is this really you? Why are you so different?" riana asked while holding Rio's face. "I'd rather, fat Rio. In this case, the cute is gone."

"What, I'm still cute. Take a good look, don't blink," Rio said trying to show his charm.

Riana could not deny that Rio was more handsome now. Although her cute impression is gone, but her charm is more than enough to make a woman fall in love with her. Apart from the wounds on his face.

"What do you want to see? Just next door," Riana joked.

Unexpectedly, Rio was very sensitive with the matter of the wound on his face. Rio's like losing confidence. Riana felt guilty, but Rio was already first, disappointed.

"Mas Rio, I'm sorry. I don't ...," said Riana nervously.

"That's it, it's okay. You rest. Later in the afternoon I will take you to see the graves of your father and mother," Rio replied with his cold demeanor.

Rio left Riana with his guilt. The comfortable atmosphere that had been created, was now frozen again.

At the moment, Riana and Rio went to the grave of Riana's parents. There, Riana seemed to spill all her yearning on her father and mother. While Rio was waiting for her in a place not far from her.

"Dad, mom. Forgive Riana, only now can Riana come. Riana misses you so much" said Riana interspersed with tears.

For almost half an hour, Riana was there. Slowly he got up and approached Rio. Riana stopped her crying so as not to trouble Rio.

Before leaving, Rio took a moment to the grave of Riana's parents. There, he promises to make Riana's life filled with happiness. Rio also promised, will not let Riana be sad anymore especially until Riana shed tears.
