Married for Revenge
65
"Master, mistress and young lord Lion have already returned to the mension." Said Rio when he got news from Nadi.
"returned? What the hell's going on? I thought my wife and Lion would live there."
Then Rio told Adrian about Sulis coming to the parlour, and talking to Afika alone. And since then, Afika immediately decided to go home.
"What's going on." Adrian muttered. "Rio, now we're home, too,!"
"But sir, what about cooperation..." Rio's words hang.
"My family is more important than that partnership. Money is not a problem for me" said Adrian.

Adrian immediately ran into the mension when the car driven by Rio arrived at the mension.
"Lion, baby. Daddy's home." Shouts Adrian echoing. There is no law at all
"Lion, baby." Repeat Adrian when opening the door Lion room, but did not find the owner of the room. "Sri, where's my wife and son?" Ask Adrian
"Mrs is in the back garden, while Lion is in Miss Baby's room."
Adrian immediately ran towards the back garden, and found Afika who was currently sitting on a chair while facing the pool.
Slowly Adrian sat right beside Afika. "How are you? I'm sorry for the job I didn't come home for a few days."
"Afika, I'm sorry, sorry. Give me one chance."
"Don't keep asking me Adrian." Afika said that was able to make Adrian immediately turn to Afika, now Adrian saw clearly Afika's eyes are currently glazed.
"You know how sick Adrian is? You know, how my heart has been all this time. Not just my heart, but my body all hurt Adrian, sick.. It hurts.." Afika said and for the first time he spoke long to Adrian.
"Aficially.."
"You're the bad Adrian, you're the bad guy. You've ruined me, only now you're so easy to apologize to me." Afika set the breath that now feels tight due to remembering the past is so bitter. "Have I ever fought you? Have I ever been wrong? You always cut Adrian's wounds, wounds so deep that I was traumatized, you know that? I'm traumatized Adrian.." Now the tears that he had endured since, had to pour down the smooth cheeks of Afika. "I ruined Adrian. You should have believed me first, if I were pregnant with your child. You should have never doubted me. In the past, I could still understand your behavior towards me, I knew it was all a misunderstanding. But I can't understand when you doubt my pregnancy."
"I'm sorry, sorry." Now Adrian ventured to hold Afika's hand.
"I know, you have money, power and everything. But remember, there is one thing that cannot be exchanged for money, which is love. Love Adrian, your money won't be able to buy love."
Adrian regrets what has happened all along.
"Hit me, hit me, hit me Afika, as long as it makes you happy. Hit" now Adrian pulls Afika's hand and leads to hit her body.
"You're evil! Very nasty Adrian." Afika said while continuing to hit the chest of Adrian's field.
Adrian was silent, receiving the blow given by Afika. A punch that is nothing compared to the blow he had given Afika first. After a while, as Afika's punch began to soften, Adrian now ventured to embrace Afika's body and let Afika cry in his arms.
"I'm sorry Afika, sorry." Adrian who was also crying.
Baby who saw Adrian and Afika in the park, also cried. He hopes this is the beginning that will lead them to a life that will be happy, after what they both get.
"I forgive you as the father of my son, but as a wife, I'm sorry I haven't been able to." Lirih Afika while taking off Adrian's embrace.
Adrian smiled, there was at least one step that brought him closer to Afika. When Adrian wants to wipe away the tears on Afika's cheek, Afika quickly brushes Adrian over.
"I haven't forgiven you."
