Chapter 313 - I Will Always Be By Your Side
"Uncle, Uncle Ivan is back. Grandpa asked you to invite aunt to have dinner together at home tonight. Grandfather also invited Imel and Keara," Nico said from the phone.
Aiden frowned at Nico's words. "Ivan should be busy dealing with work issues abroad. Why did he suddenly come home?"
"Uncle Ivan underwent surgery because he had a disc herniation. Grandfather told him to rest and recover at home. All work has been delegated to the vice president. After today's family dinner, he will go to Dartha Hospital and be treated by Tara's grandpa himself," Nico said.
"Ivan has a healthy and strong body. He will not suffer from a disease like this. Tell someone to investigate whether it really happened or not," Aiden calmly said.
Anya who was next to Aiden looked pale. "It must be true,"
Aiden looked at Anya suspiciously and said to Nico on the phone, "I'll call you again and get someone to investigate it immediately,"
After hanging up, Anya looked at Aiden carefully. "Have I told you that we were friends? Me, Raka and Ivan. In the past, Raisa also always followed us wherever we went,"
"You never told me, but I know your relationship," Aiden replied.
"Ivan once saved me from being hit by a car. His spine was injured and he had to be hospitalized for half a year. I had thought that Imel suddenly acted mean to my mother because she didn't accept that her son was hurt. Because Imel was very nice to my mother before it happened," Anya lowered her head thinking about that past incident.
Aiden immediately stroked her head gently, "It's not your fault. Don't think about it,"
"Ivan is a good man. Even though I hate Imel, I don't blame him for what his mother did. I will always remember the kindness he gave me," Anya still remembered the accident. Raka immediately grabbed his younger sister's body, while Ivan rushed to save her.
Aiden frowned at Anya's words. Why did Ivan have such a warm and gentle image of a man in everyone's eyes?
Anya wasn't the only one to have that opinion, Nico was the same. Even Maria had advised Aiden not to hate Ivan too much.
"If he really comes back injured, I won't do anything to him and make it difficult for him. But if he returns to Indonesia because he wants to take the Atmajaya company, I won't just let him go," Aiden's eyes darkened.
Anya tilted her head and leaned on Aiden's shoulder. "I know Ivan as a kind and caring person for everyone. I'm sure he didn't intend to harm anyone. If possible, I hope we can all live in peace. But if something happens between you, I will always be by your side,"
Aiden's gloomy mood instantly turned brighter because of Anya's words.
"When we go to the Atmajaya family's house, Imel and Ivan will be at home. Tara's grandpa will take Tara there too. You don't have to be nervous. Sister Maria will definitely arrange Tara's seat beside you," Aiden said.
"I will have to meet them sooner or later. Don't worry. I'm fine," Anya smiled thinly.
At that time, Galih came out of Diana's room.
"Anya, your mother said you wanted to return the money I gave for the land. I only intended to lend you the money at first. I'll have my assistant count all the costs. You can return it later," Galih said with a smile.
"But…"
"Everything has been arranged. I have to get out of here," Galih looked at Aiden once again, but in the end he didn't say anything.
However, Aiden could understand the meaning behind Galih's gaze. Galih hoped Aiden would appreciate his help to Anya and her mother by showing mercy tonight.
Yesterday at dawn, Aiden had bought shares of the Pratama Family company on a large scale. Galih really hoped Aiden would stop soon so that his company would not suffer too much.
Anya and Aiden escorted Galih to the elevator together. Before the lift closed, Aiden said, "Uncle Galih, thank you for helping Anya and my mother-in-law. You are a good man and a good man will always be given good luck,"
Galih replied with a smile. "I am grateful to see you can live happily. You have to stay happy like this,"
"Goodbye, Uncle Galih," Anya waved her hand at Galih.
After escorting Galih away, Anya and Aiden returned to their mother's room. Diana looked at them wearily. "Aiden, I left Anya with you. Please take care of my daughter,"
"Don't worry. I'll take care of her," Aiden said with a stern look.
Diana smiled staring at Aiden. "I had refused to sell my land before. I thought I could buy myself a year for the vanilla that I planted to grow. That way, we'll have a little money. Anya and I have planted it for three years and I feel unwilling not to have time to see it grow. But at that moment, you want to demolish the garden and move it. That's why I refused,"
"Everything is my fault. I don't understand it," Aiden said with a little embarrassment.
All he knew was that Diana refused to evict the land, but did not know the reason behind it.
According to an internal analysis of the company, they predicted that Diana was not satisfied with the price given. Or maybe because the garden was Diana and her daughter's only source of income.
But he didn't think it was all because of the vanilla garden in the park. The plant took three years to produce.
"I was too stubborn and didn't want to tell you. If only you had told me that you were going to keep the vanilla garden, I would have sold the rest of the land right away. And maybe none of this will happen," Diana said with a bitter smile.
"Mother, everything is in the past. If you agree to sell the garden, I'll arrange it right away. I want to immediately return the money to Uncle Galih. I can't wait," Anya said.
"I also don't like being indebted to other people. As long as the vanilla garden is maintained, I'm willing to sell it. I also agreed to sell the house and split the money in half with your father. The other half that we get, give the money to pay Galih. After that, we can sell our little house and buy new land to plant flowers," Diana said.
Anya nodded. "Do you remember the vegetable seller near our house? He wants to buy our house and wait for you to wake up,"
"The man and his wife are very kind. They often send us vegetables. If you want to sell the house to him, you can give him a slightly cheaper price," Diana said.
"Okay. I will contact them directly," Anya said.
"My perfume recipe isn't perfect and I still have to make major adjustments. Imel doesn't use that recipe. You can use the original recipe as a reference for making new products."
Diana thought for a moment and then continued, "I was in a coma again before I could explain things to you. I will try to keep my emotions in check and get plenty of rest. Don't worry about me, we'll be back together soon. Is there anything else you want to ask from me?"
