Chapter 399 - Love Doesn't Have To Have
"Your fiancée is sly as a fox. I can't imagine having such a future wife," Nico said, just thinking about it made him feel dizzy.
Raka smiled, pretending as if he didn't care even though he also had a headache thinking about his fate. "At least Natali's love for me isn't fake,"
"If Natali really loved you, she wouldn't use your stupid sister," Nico replied.
Raka didn't answer. His family had lost valuable land in order to get Raisa out of prison. It was all because of Natali.
If Raka couldn't get the land that Deny owned, his company would suffer big losses this year.
Raka pretended not to understand all this. Even Anya warned him because he looked like a fool who didn't know Natali's doings.
When in fact, he already knew Natali's rotten heart...
This time, Natali suddenly disappeared. Raka felt that this was just her game so that he would go home.
Even though he knew everything, Raka couldn't get out of this complicated relationship.
"Why don't you say anything? Are you really not going to go home and look for her?" Nico asked. Now he was sitting and looking at Raka.
Raka put down the towel he was holding on his shoulder. He leaned back a little on the TV table and said, "I really intend to go back because her family is very angry with me. But you just suddenly came so I decided to stay another night. Let's go to the campfire together,"
"Who wants to go there with you? I'd better go with a woman than with you," Nico grumbled.
Raka raised his eyebrows when he heard Nico's words. "Aren't you afraid something will happen? What about Lisa?"
"I'm getting engaged to Lisa soon. However, my situation is different from yours. You are trapped and caught in a marriage that you don't want. Meanwhile, I'm planning this contract engagement with Lisa," Nico put down his cell phone and got up.
"When I came back, I saw the dentist that you like," Raka said on purpose. "Did you invite her here?"
Nico laughed at that. "Even Lisa doesn't mind it, so why are you jealous?"
Raka patted his friend's shoulder and said, "I just wanted to remind you. If you can't bring happiness to that woman, don't play with her feelings at will,"
Nico scratched his head helplessly. "I really wanted to be with Tara, but she refused to be part of the Atmajaya Family. I can only ask her to wait. If I don't get her right away, I'm afraid she will turn to another man,"
"You want to get her heart by taking her to a hotel?" Raka looked at Nico with a chuckle. He had been friends with Nico for a long time so he could find out what Nico was thinking.
Nico smiled sheepishly. "I told Tara that there is no room in this hotel and I will stay in her room. What do you think?"
Raka complained and looked at his stupid friend. "You want to tease her?"
"Isn't my plan a good one?" Nico said excitedly.
"No, you idiot!" Raka really wanted to bite Nico's head. "Nico, loving someone doesn't mean you have to tie them down to you. If you can't bring happiness to her, just let her go. Let her find her own happiness. That is the meaning of love, hoping that the person you love can find happiness in their life,"
"Like you and my aunt? You love her so much but you are willing to let her go because she is happy to be with my uncle?" Nico asked.
"Aiden really paid attention to her and understood her well. I don't understand why me and Anya can't end up together. But when I ate with them last night, I finally realized," Raka said with a thin smile.
"What do you realize? What happened last night?" Nico was really curious.
Raka told Nico everything that happened last night.
"During dinner, Aiden seemed to pay no attention to Anya. He chatted with me about business and so on. But Aiden knew how much food Anya ate and how many times Anya tried to steal his wine. When I was with Anya, I paid more attention to my own feelings."
What Raka felt for Anya was not love. It was just a selfish feeling, in which he put his own happiness above hers.
He always felt that Anya didn't love him enough, though he always made her as number one in his heart.
But what about Anya? She was so busy. She had to work, study, and take care of her mother. Raka was never her priority.
Raka felt that Anya didn't care about him. Anya did not have time to date or accompany him.
But when he saw Aiden and Anya happy together, Raka realized his mistake.
It's not that Anya didn't care or didn't love him. She was just trying to survive before thinking about their love.
Raka just realized how often Anya fell asleep in the cinema due to being too exhausted. Anya really wanted to spend time with Raka so she didn't think about herself.
Anya also didn't come from a wealthy family, but she still gave quite expensive gifts to Raka.
As a son from a rich family, Raka did not know how many times Anya spent her part-time salary buying the gift.
Anya loved Raka in her own way. But in the end, Raka couldn't understand how Anya loved him and so their love story ended.
When she was with Aiden, Aiden didn't demand anything from Anya. He let Anya be herself. He did not demand Anya to always accompany him, because Aiden would always be by Anya's side.
Not only that, Aiden also supported Anya to work, doing what Anya loved to become a better person.
Meanwhile, Raka only emphasized his selfishness, wanting Anya to forget everything and put their love first.
Raka just realized how selfish he was...
He felt so embarrassed to compare himself to Aiden.
Raka thought all night and realized what his mistake was. He didn't want Nico to fall into the same fate.
Relationships couldn't work if either of the two involved thought about themselves and not taking consideration of the other.
"My uncle really spoiled my aunt. After meeting my uncle, my aunt became more and more confident and my uncle became more humane than before. When they are together, they complement each other," Nico also felt jealous of their relationship.
"Nico, true love should be like your uncle's love for Anya. Don't hurt that pretty doctor. When you have the ability to bring happiness to her, she will be yours," Raka said.
Raka himself was caught in an engagement with Natali because he was caught sleeping with her. He didn't want Nico to treat women like that, even out of love.
"I'll say that someone checked out and I got a new room so Tara won't be afraid of me," Nico took Raka's suggestion and immediately called Tara.
Tara was chatting with Anya when Nico called. Seeing Nico calling her, Tara didn't want to answer. She still felt annoyed with Nico's childish behavior.
"Anya, can you help me pick up this call?"
Anya immediately picked it up. As soon as she knew Nico was calling, she immediately turned on the speaker. "Nico, what's wrong? Tara is currently unable to answer the phone,"
"I've got a room. Someone came out just now. Tell her I won't stay with her tonight. If Tara is afraid to sleep alone, tell her to call me," Nico said casually.
