The Shackles of Second Love
Chapter 07

Sharon's words yesterday were still ringing in Hartono's head. About how the woman thinks about the affair, which makes her reflect back.

At times like this he did reflect on his every sin against Sharon and her marriage. But when he returns with Mia, spending time with the woman, all of a sudden all of those guilty and sinful feelings feel like nothing to him.

He is too involved in the heart to just have an affair with Mia. So that makes it difficult to take off the woman because she feels heavy and unwilling.

At midnight last night, when he fell asleep. Mia sent a message saying that she was not feeling well.

Hartono with all his anxiety for the woman then left Sharon who was still engulfed in a dream, then went to the apartment where her lover lived.

“You hurt what baby?” Hartono asked full of anxiety as he rubbed the side of Mia's head.

The woman then opened her eyes slowly, then smiled weakly when she found the presence of her sugar daddy.

“Your body is hot.” murmured the man after feeling Mia's high body temperature on the back of his hand.

“My head feels heavy.” Mia said with great difficulty.

His voice that sounded hoarse and weak made the worry in Hartono increasingly.

Without saying much, Hartono immediately lifted up Mia's body in his carry. He took the woman to a 24-hour health clinic.

“Where are you taking me?” Mia asked the moment before the man's hand touched the doorknob of her room.

Hartono stopped and just stared at his woman in the shade, “Ke klinik.” he said.

Mia shook her head slowly, “No need.” the woman refused.

“This is just a normal fever, you only need to buy fever medicine only at the pharmacy.” he told the man.

Hartono nodded briefly, then brought Mia back to her bed and laid her body comfortably.

“I will go to buy medicine.” he said which was then embraced by Mia.

After that Hartono kissed Mia's forehead, and then left the woman to buy medicine.

..

It didn't take too long to buy a drug in the middle of the night like this. There are pharmacies open up to 24 hours.

After getting what is needed. Hartono returned to the apartment so that his lover could immediately take his medicine.

“Honey, I've got the cure.” Hartono whispered softly as he tried to wake the woman up.

Not long after, Mia opened her eyes again.

“This medicine should be drunk after a meal. I bought you porridge, you eat first.” explained Hartono.

Mia could only nod weakly, and then tried to sit herself down aided by Hartono. Afterwards, Hartono fed Mia the porridge painstakingly and attentively.

The little heart of the woman was so touched by all the attention Hartono had given her.perhaps if there was no man, Mia could only take care of herself as she had in previous years.

Unknowingly it made her tears just fall. He felt grateful for being reunited with Hartono even in the wrong circumstances, to make the two involved into a forbidden relationship.

“Why cry?” asked the gentleman while trying to wipe away Mia's tears using her thumb.

Mia smiled softly and then shook her head, “If you have a high fever do like this. Suddenly tears came out because both my eyes hurt.” said Mia lying.

**

Mia awakens after her hearing is interrupted by the ringing sound of a call coming into Hartono's cell phone. The woman was silent for a moment to gather all her scattered consciousness while wading through the dreamland.

Then after that Mia tried to escape from the possessive embrace of Hartono since early this morning. He smiled slightly when he heard the fine snoring coming out of the man's mouth.it seemed like Hartono was completely exhausted from being awake from watching his condition.

Mia presented the man with a kiss on his cheek, then moved to retrieve the man's phone lying on the nightstand.

It turned out to be a phone call from Hartono's wife, and there were also several calls and messages from Fabian. Mia just peeked through the notification display, she did not dare to open it because it was about privacy.

He said the method was quite good to apply when the body was exposed to high fever.

“Sayang—” Mia shook Hartono's body slowly intending to wake the man up.

And the man really woke up because of it.

“What's up?”

“Do you feel pain again?” ask the man in an anxious tone.

Mia smiled thinly and then shook her head quickly.

“I've been much better.” he replied.

Hartono then got up and sat down in front of Mia. He put his forehead on the woman's forehead to be sure whether the fever is down or not.

Mia chuckles softly with the man's behavior that reminds her of one of the scenes that often exist in anime romance genre.

“Thank God, the heat has gone down.” said the man relieved.

“So your wife and son called. I woke you up for fear it was an important call.” Mia explained her intention of waking Hartono from his deep sleep.

The man was silent for a moment. Fabian must have called her because of the meeting issue that was going to be held today.

“What time is it now?” holtono asked as his eyes began to focus on looking at Mia's chest which was not protected by anything.

“Jam 8.” replied the woman.

There's still half an hour left for the meeting to take place. The man then took his phone from Mia's hand and tried to contact her son.

Hartono told Fabian that he would come to lead the meeting later and told his son not to worry too much.

Mia listened to Daddy and his son's sugar talk carefully. From there he could conclude that Hartono would go to the office and leave it.

After hanging up his phone call, Hartono looked back at Mia with a regretful look.

“Darling, forgive me for having to leave you at a time like this.” the man said while his hands were resting on both sides of Mia's face.

“I promise after the meeting is over, I will come back here.”.

Mia smiled faintly, then lowered the palm of Hartono's hand that was on the side of her face. He kissed the man's palm several times.

“Don't worry about me. I'm fine now and I can take good care of myself.” Mia replied with a sweet smile on her face.

Obviously the woman didn't want Hartono to worry too much about her.

Hartono felt relieved when he heard that. She felt grateful because Mia was not the type of woman who was spoiled and a hobby of whining.The woman was really understanding and very understanding of the situation she was experiencing at this time.

“I love you.” whispered Hartono unwittingly making Mia freeze instantly.

The man then kissed Mia's lips in a gentle and soulful gesture. A kiss that instantly made Mia forget the words of Hartono just now.

“If you are not in a hurry, I would love to play for a while with this.” the man spoke after successfully squeezing Mia's chest softly.

The woman laughed softly and then pushed Hartono's body away.

“Sana shower! Basic pervert!” mia's decree that was only answered was thinly smirked by the man.

Hartono then rushed into the bathroom and then Mia remembered the words of the man just now.

“She said she loved me?”

Mia could not help but feel a sense of happiness rising from her heart because of the man's confession. Whether Hartono was conscious or not while saying it, Mia did not care. The important thing was that he had heard the man's confession directly.
