Tough Woman And Cold CEO
Buddy

"It used to be, but these few years I've been so busy going to college that I don't have time for fun." With a normal face, Tara lies unaware that Rafael already knows his secret.

"What about your class ?" Because his wife still refused to tell him the truth. So Raphael decided to wait and follow his lie.

"Lumayan, it might be over soon."

Actually, there's another secret that Rafael doesn't know yet. Tara was really in college. She pursued her S2 degree in medical science. Incidentally Tara also continued her S3 program at the university where she told people if she was studying S1 Doctor program.

"I heard that you're going to be a young Doctor candidate! It must have been great because you could have continued your education in the midst of your unhappiness living in the Moore family."

Of course Rafael deliberately scraped information from Tara. Thinking that the woman will tell her secret unconsciously.

"You're too complimentary! I did it because my high school teacher helped me. Everything went well because I managed to get a scholarship."

Everything is the truth. Tara will not forget the kindness of her teacher who delivered her to become a Doctor at a young age without even wasting time.

"Are you happy with your life?" Somehow Rafacl suddenly asked Tara something like that.

"I'm confused about my life. One side I feel proud to be strong, but on the other hand I feel weak because I don't have someone willing to listen to my grievances and become a place to lean on when I get tired of my activities."

lived for 23 years without someone who could really understand him. Tara begins to lose her spirit in life but never forgets her vision and mission to become a rich woman

Perhaps his vision and mission of getting rich was just a diversion over the disappointment his family had done to him.

"You can lean on me and tell me your grievances." Although this sounds too fast. But Rafael feels that he is definitely capable of being someone Tara wanted to be long ago.

Perhaps it was also because she knew that Tara's story was not as sweet as the stories of most rich girls. Even impressed similar to the story of his mother in the past. Rafael begins to pity Tara's story without her realizing that it's all the beginning of falling for her

"Don't joke like that on me." Of course Tara didn't fully believe it. He knows what Rafael is like. Men who are indifferent to others are mainly foreign women except for their mother and grandmother. For the rest, he considers women as disgusting.

"I'm serious! Maybe I've heard how the Moore family hurt you. And it reminds me of my mother's story in the past."

Rafael does not mind the various stories on Tara because he already trusts the woman very much despite not knowing her for long.

"What do you mean?" Tara never knew Bella's life in the past. However, AI is deliberately covering it up and it just so happens that Tara also does not want to interfere in the lives of others.

"My mother's grandfather and grandmother were very cruel. They treated my mother like a servant, physically and mentally wounded and sold her to my father as a means of debt repayment."

"You must be kidding."

"Am I going to benefit from what you consider a joke?"

Of course there isn't. Tara believed that. It's just that he hasn't been able to receive any information about Bella that's more terrifying than him.

No wonder I'm thinking about it now. The woman was so loving, when they had only met once. Even his arrival was like a relief from the evil plans of his family.

"I really didn't expect that mother had such a cruel family."

"Yes, I never expected it either. After all, I spoil my mother so much that her past is no longer a creepy scourge. And dad's like medicine to mom."

This time Tara agreed with Rafael. Lucky that her mother-in-law could marry a man like her father-in-law. Handsome, rich and responsible.

"So you feel sorry for me?"

Now Rafael began to emphasize the position of Tara. He's his wife, and it'll always be that way until he separates. Raphael promised God to protect and honor his wife. Although she did it unconsciously at first, she now feels lucky to make a sincere promise at the time of their marriage.

"But we're not really spouses." Either Tara was too innocent or still did not get the meaning of Rafael's words just now.

"Do you hate me?" Not answering. Rafael asked.

"No, why should I hate you?"

"Maybe it's because I'm paralyzed and you have to marry an embarrassing man like me?"

"You're too low. In my eyes, you're like any other normal man. And now we're just sitting on the couch telling stories."

It does. Tara never considered Rafael to be lame or humiliating. The words are simple, but

the meaning that Rafael gets is very different. Her heart was beating fast, maybe if Tara looked in detail, she could catch Rafael's ears starting to turn red.

He started to look like a teenager who was first in love. Honestly, only Tara had said such sincere things to him. Normally, people would praise him but be insincere.

"Then do you mind living a long time with me?" He had to slow down when he wanted to continue his plan.

"Why do you want to live with me for so long?" Now Tara began to feel there was something strange in Rafael.

"If I say that I'm getting comfortable living with you. Do you mind? Or think I'm a weird guy?"

"It's not like that, but from what I heard. You hate foreign women."

"I also heard that you're a cold woman and don't like being close to men. But look, you even look good when you're sitting next to me."

Makes sense too. Tara realized it. He is also almost the same as Rafael, either indifferent or uncomfortable with others.

"What if we start with friends?"

"Friends?"

"Yes, man. We can spend a lot of time together when we are down. Talk, take a walk and maybe go to my forest house."

"Western house?" Somehow Tara became interested in Rafael's offer of making friends.

"I have a forest house near here. When I am tired, I often go there. There is also a natural river with fish that can be caught to burn."

"Are you going to take me there if we're friends?"

Of course Tara is interested in Rafael's offer after hearing the location of Rafael's forest house.

"Yes, we can stay there while you're off. I guarantee you won't regret it."

"Good! We're friends." Tara extended her little day towards Rafael.

"Come, as friends we have to hook each other's little fingers." Tara's little finger was so cute that Rafael felt his big, long finger could break it.

This is the first time Rafael has done so. But somehow he didn't mind and their little fingers were intertwined.
