Chapter 644 - Meeting For The First Time
Nadine got up from her chair and approached Anya. "Auntie, I'm fine. I'm glad you are fine too. Rather than worrying about myself, I was more worried about what if I didn't check the bed at that time and got you hurt. Two years ago, my stupidity caused you to separate from my uncle, and made you lose your child. This time, I found the knife and saved you. Let's just say we're even. Don't feel guilty. I can't bear to face you if we keep going like this," Nadine said, stroking Anya's back.
Aiden also rose to his feet then squatted beside Anya's chair and wiped her tears. "Stop it. Everything is alright. Look, the six of us can still be together."
Anya lifted her head and looked at Nadine. She said with tears still streaming down her face, "Nadine, your uncle and I don't blame you for what happened two years ago."
"I know. But I can't forgive myself. Maybe I can forget about my mistake after this. Auntie, you have to stay healthy and I will be taking care of myself too," Nadine held Anya's hand tightly. "Tomorrow, I'll go back to Iris and become a great shop manager."
"Don't let Iris go bankrupt," Nico said on purpose.
"We will see! I'm not stupid like you, big brother!" Nadine turned and stuck her tongue at Nico.
But Nico smiled instead, feeling relieved that his sister was fine. "Try to prove it to me!"
After dinner, everyone returned to their respective homes. Aiden told Anya that Indah's condition was getting worse and she continued to refuse surgery. He advised Anya to immediately meet her.
"Fine. She is my mother after all. Keara's right, maybe her illness was also my fault. She thought she refused to do the surgery because I wasn't there," said Anya.
"When do you want to meet her?" Aiden asked.
"Tomorrow. I've told you and you suggested that I see her immediately." When talking about Diana, a smile appeared on Anya's lips. "I think my mother is still the best in the world!"
"She loves you so much. Maybe even a biological mother will not be able to give the same thing as what she gave to you," Aiden also had a high respect for Diana. To him, Diana was the perfect mother figure.
"Yes. My mother is the best mother in the world. God is very good to me. He gave me a good mother and husband," Anya muttered as she leaned back in Aiden's arms. Her eyes felt even heavier.
She had not been able to sleep well for several days.
But that night, she slept peacefully in Aiden's arms.
…
The next day, Aiden and Anya went to the hospital where Indah was being treated.
In the morning, Hana helped Anya to pick some of the lilies in the garden and tie them into a beautiful bouquet.
Aiden didn't want to let Anya go alone but he couldn't leave his job either. In the end, he had to do a video conference in the car.
After he went back from his coma, Ivan slowly gave up his responsibilities in the company.
Ivan did not want to interfere with the Atmajaya Group and wanted to get out of it immediately. Meanwhile, Nico was still unable to lead the company alone.
That was why Aiden still had to lead the group.
His meeting ended just as their car pulled up in front of the hospital.
Anya sat in the car for a long time while looking out the window.
The hospital had a calm atmosphere, suitable as a place for recovery.
Alas, it mostly had rich people as patients.
"I've contacted Uncle Galih. He already knows you are his daughter. If you don't want to see them again after meeting today, they will respect your decision." Aiden held Anya's hand tightly. "Don't be afraid. I will keep you company."
"I am not afraid. They are not bad people," Anya took a deep breath. She was just nervous about meeting the parents she had never known. "Come on, let's go out."
Abdi got out of the car and opened the door for them.
Aiden helped Anya to get out of the car, worried that she would slip or fall. Galih's bodyguards were seen on guard at the door of the hospital. They immediately reported to Galih as soon as they saw Aiden's arrival.
"Indah, our child has come. I will help you out," Galih said happily.
"Do you think I can do it? How do I look?" Indah's voice was shaking because she was too nervous.
"You look beautiful," Galih put on a scarf around Indah's neck so she didn't get cold.
To meet Anya today, Indah accidentally got up early and put her makeup on. She rummaged through her closet, looking for the right clothes to meet her long lost daughter.
She sat in a wheelchair and left her room with Galih's help.
When they met at the park, Galih looked at Anya excitedly. Since her face was so similar to Keara's, Galih had thought of Anya as his daughter with Diana before. But he never thought that Anya was actually his missing daughter with Indah.
Indah saw Anya holding a flower bouquet. The smile on her face immediately widened as she saw her daughter.
"The flowers are very beautiful. Is that for me?" Indah asked.
"These flowers are from my garden. I hope you like them," Anya gave the bouquet with both hands.
"Let's sit in the park for a while," Galih said, trying to break the ice.
Aiden wanted to turn it down because it was quite hot today. He was afraid that Anya would overheat if she was outside for too long.
Indah could feel Aiden's worry and said, "There is a pavilion in the middle of the garden. The air there is quite fresh," she said with a smile.
Aiden asked for an umbrella from his bodyguard and immediately sheltered Anya from the heat.
Anya saw that Indah slightly narrowed her eyes because of the bright sunlight. She immediately took the umbrella that Aiden was holding and walked behind Indah's wheelchair, trying to cover her from the sun.
Indah didn't look back and pretend she didn't know, but from the shadows beneath her feet, she could see it all. The smile on her face couldn't hide her happiness.
"Galih, did your daughter come to visit?" A fat old man walked towards him. His hand was holding a fan that continued to sway.
"This is my second child and her husband," said Galih.
"Have you found your child? Congratulations! Her face is very similar to Keara, huh? Indeed they are sisters," said the old man with a smile. "Looks like I know her husband."
"Uncle Wisnu, I am Aiden," Aiden took the initiative to greet the man.
"Aiden Atmajaya? The son of Bima Atmajaya?" The man looked surprised.
Aiden just nodded.
"You are the husband of Galih's second daughter, but why did you impregnate her sister too? Now these sisters are pregnant with your kids. Who are you going to choose?" The man asked with a serious look.
"From beginning to end, I only love my wife. Do I have to mention all the women who came to me and said that they were pregnant with my child? I've never done anything, why should I take responsibility?" Aiden's voice immediately sounded cold.
He had tried to be polite by greeting this man first. But this man even scolded him without knowing the true story.
The man didn't say much anymore. He also knew how powerful anyone with the last name Atmajaya was and did not want to have anything to do with him.
"Wisnu, I want to chat with my daughter and son-in-law. We'll go first," Galih continued walking towards a pavilion.
It was true what Indah said, the place was comfortable and the surrounding scenery looked beautiful. Besides, the gentle breeze blowing past the building made the pavilion feel even more refreshing.
Four people were seen sitting in the pavilion.
A nurse immediately brought them fruit, juice and tea.
"Anya, your mother is very happy that you came today. She got up early in the morning and tried on lots of clothes. But in the end, she wore this dress. Do you know why?" Galih said, starting the conversation between them.
