C9 She Said Yes!

Slowly the two eyeballs opened, Angela felt a pair of arms hugging her from behind.

"Derry," she muttered after turning to look at the sleeping young man.

Angela looked around. Instantly, there was a flash of what had happened last night between him and Derry. Angela bit her lower lip. Tears were already rising on the eyelids. She let go of Derry's hand which was still wrapped around her waist. Then she lifted the blanket to see her body condition. However, it turned out that there was not a single thread covering her naked body. Angela began to feel tears rolling down her cheeks. She and Derry have returned to repeat events that should never have happened. Angela's crying voice was able to make Derry wake up.

"Are you up already?"

Angela turned to look at Derry with her swollen eyes. "You bastard! You're out of your mind! Bastard! Why are you having sex with me again?"

Derry sat down and grinned. "Do not be a hypocrite. You also enjoyed every touch of me when we both enjoyed last night's activities right?"

Angela snorted and looked away. "I hate you!"

"But I love you," replied Derry quickly.

"Love? Did I hear you correctly? You have destroyed me. What is the meaning of love after this? You bastard I've ever met." Angela looked at Derry with hatred.

"I have to do this, so I can get to you, and maybe this is the only way to make you mine," said Derry.

Angela did not return the young man's words. She turned his sleep position until he's back to Derry. Tears rolled down the cheeks even more. Her heart was very sick, broken, and sad too.

Derry took a deep breath. Hearing Angela cry, made her heart feel sad too. Derry is crazy because he did stupid things to get what he wanted. However, he also thought, shouldn't a person sometimes have to be selfish to get the satisfaction he wants?

Derry reached out and gently rubbed Angela's shaking bare shoulder. "I'm sorry. I was the wrong way to get you but you should know, I love you. So far, only you are the only woman who managed to captivate my heart."

Angela's heartfelt increasingly tight at every word that came out of Derry's mouth.

As Thony said yesterday, today Aaron is on his way to where the project is going.

"You still owe me to explain to me about yesterday's incident," Mike said opening the conversation, which was originally quiet in the car.

"Which incident?" Aaron asked while focused on driving.

"About the waitress yesterday at the cafe. Because from what I can see, it's such a girl who hates you. Do you have a problem with him? "

Aaron stopped his car when the traffic sign turned red. She glanced at Mike, who was staring at her while waiting for her answer.

"This isn't the time to tell you," Aaron replied.

Mike narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Does that mean you have such a big problem that you don't want to tell me now?"

Aaron was driving back after the traffic signs turned green. He nodded several times. "Yes, you could say so."

Mike snorted in annoyance. "I'm more and more curious. Tell me right now! Besides, now or later it will be the same, right?"

Aaron shook his head without looking at Mike. "Different. I still don't know what will happen next between me and him."

"And now you're making my brain think harder," Mike whimpered. "I do not understand!"

Aaron chuckled softly, irritating Mike even more.

"You're mysterious!"

Shena wiped the sweat off her forehead. Many visitors come today to the cafe.

"I heard your house caught fire yesterday. Really?" Felly asked.

Shena sighed heavily, then nodded her head. "Yeah, right. But fortunately, nothing happened to Amanda."

"Geez, I sorry for you. Felly looked at Shena with pity. "Where do you live with Amanda now?"

"In the meantime, Amanda and I are staying at my neighbor's house. And the plan is after I get home from work, I want to try to find a rented house."

Felly nodded. "Hopefully you can find the rental house soon. Sorry, I can only pray the best for you."

Shena smiles. "Yes. It's okay. Thank you."

♡♡♡

"Can't the rental price be lowered a little more?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't."

Shena took a deep breath. "Very well, then I will excuse you."

Shena has visited four rented houses tonight, but none of them have been managed to find. Considering the monthly rent that was rented out wasn't worth the income Shena had. Plus daily necessities. It is not enough just to pay a waiter every month.

Already nine in the evening, Shena decided to go home first and would continue tomorrow. His body was very tired, after working all day.

Hearing the roar of lightning, a sign that it will soon rain. The night air is very cold. Drop by a drop of water began to wet the earth, Shena ran towards the bus stop to take shelter. Heavy rain, plus a loud lightning sound.

Shena hugged her own body as she felt the chill piercing her skin. "Uh, it's so cold.

Shena was surprised by the arrival of a sports car that stopped in front of her. Shena inched back, suspicious of the person in the four-wheeler. Worried that that person might have malicious intentions towards her.

"Oh my God, protect me." Shena prayed silently. She started to get scared when the windshield lowered.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing Aaron's face in the car made Shena breathe a sigh of relief.

"Shelter," replied Shena.

"Get in quickly, I'll take you home."

Shena hesitated in silence. But there was no other choice for him because the road conditions were very quiet, not a single vehicle passed. The distance from the bus stop to the house is still quite far.

"What are you thinking about? Hurry up and come in, you can get sick later."

Shena nodded, then immediately got into the car. Aaron immediately drove the car at medium speed. Mike has been escorted home by Aaron after returning from Bandung.

"Nights like this, what are you doing alone at the bus stop?"

"I just got home from work and immediately looked for a rented house," replied Shena.

"Then, how?"

Shena shook her head softly.

Then there was silence, there was no longer any chat between Aaron and Shena. Only the sound of rain. Makes the atmosphere awkward for Shena. Twenty minutes passed, they finally arrived at their destination. The rain had stopped since they were on their way.

In front of the house, Amanda was seen sitting accompanied by her neighbor. It can be seen from his face, that the girl is restless.

Aaron and Shena got out of the car together. Stepping towards Amanda.

"Hai, good evening," said Shena, making Amanda smile with relief.

"Shena? Finally, you came home," said Amanda. Shena smiled while hugging Amanda's body from the side.

"I am calm, you are home now Amanda did not want to enter before you came," said Asri. " Then, I'll go inside. "

"Yes, Auntie."

"Who did you come home with?" Amanda asked when she sensed someone else was here.

Shena turned to a smiling Aaron. "I'm with Aaron."

Amanda smiled. "Aaron? Thank you for already brought Shena home."

Aaron's hand reached out, rubbing Amanda's shoulder. "You're welcome. I accidentally met him on the road. So I drove him home together. Excuse me go home, it's getting late."

"Be careful."

Aaron smiled. "Yes."

Aaron started to walk towards his car.

"Wait a minute," Shena said quietly to Amanda. After that, she ran over to Aaron before the boy got into the car.

"Aaron!"

"Yes?"

Shena took a deep breath. Glanced at Amanda who was still standing there with a sweet smile. "Regarding your offer yesterday, is it still valid?" she asked doubtfully.

Aaron's lips filled a smile when he heard Shena's question. "Sure. So what's your answer?"

Shena nodded her head. "I receive. I want to marry you. "

Aaron was surprised to get the answer from Shena so quickly. "Seriously?"

Shena nodded firmly. "Yes. I want Amanda to be able to see again and be able to live her days like friends her age. I don't want to, Amanda continues to live in darkness."

Aaron let out a sigh of relief. Without realizing it, he pulled Shena's body into a hug. Made the girl froze in silence feeling Aaron's warm embrace.

"Thank you. I am relieved to hear your answer. Maybe this way, I can be responsible for the mistakes I have made. I promise, all the needs of you and Amanda will be fulfilled. I promise."

Shena smiled sadly. If it weren't for Amanda, she wouldn't want to marry without love. Especially with the person who killed her father.
