Chapter 76 - Because Of Money (2/2)
Raka had known Anya since she was a child. After her mother divorced her father, her mother took Anya away from the Tedjasukmana residence. In the end, they broke up and stopped communicating.
Eight years later, they met again. In the middle of the crowd, they could still get to know each other with just one look. Wasn't that fate?
Raka was still an older brother who was very warm and always invited her to play, while Anya had turned into a girl who had been honed by the cruelty of the world.
Unfortunately, their love did not get the blessing from Raka's parents.
Anya still remembered how Raka's mother humiliated her by giving her money and kicking her out. However, in order to save her mother, Anya accepted the money and ended her love story with Raka.
Raka had a very great family background, very kind personality, high education and humble attitude. Such a man was the target of all women in the city, including women from respectable families.
But Raka chose Anya, an ordinary woman from an underprivileged family. Even after being separated three years ago, Raka still couldn't let go of her.
Raka knew very well that Anya did not voluntarily marry Aiden. He also knew that Anya's mother was sick and needed money.
He knew that Anya had to bear everything alone and did not want to tell anyone about her burden. He hadn't seen her in three years, since Anya chose to accept money from his mother instead of telling him about it.
When they met again three years later, Anya was still the same.
Anya lifted her head and just smiled at Raka. The smiles felt so distant as if they were two people who had never known, two people who had never loved each other.
”Anya, I can't believe you deliberately ruined Natali's marriage. Tell me what really happened!” Raka said, half begging.
Anya lowered her head again, ignoring Raka's request. She helped Raka to fix his perfume, according to the proportions of the ingredients that should be added. After that, she returned to give the perfume bottle to Raka to continue making perfume, especially so that the man immediately finished the perfume and left this shop.
Raka took it and looked at Anya angrily, ”Why don't you want to answer me? Can't you trust me?”
”Raka, my mother is in danger. I asked my father and Natali to borrow money but they didn't want to give me a penny. I have no other choice. I have become the woman I hate. I seduced Aiden.” Anya said coldly. She hoped Raka could finally accept her explanation this time.
She didn't want Raka to keep looking for her. She didn't want Aiden and Raka to fight with each other. She didn't want Raka to be in danger because of her.
Raka slammed his hand that was still holding the perfume bottle hard onto the table. His hand gripped the perfume bottle tightly, crushing the bottle. His palms were covered with broken glass and blood began to flow down the perfume-making table.
”Raka!” Anya's eyes widened when she saw so much blood flowing. But Raka still clenched his fists tightly, not releasing the glass shards that had stabbed him.
”Tell me the truth!” Raka shouted.
The blood on Raka's hand kept flowing, making Anya panic and wanted to cry, ”Are you crazy? Quickly let go! Let go!”
Seeing Anya who was almost crying, Raka could not bear to corner her and let go of his hand. The glass' shards fell one by one to the floor, while several other shards were still stuck on Raka's flesh.
Hearing the commotion that was happening, Ben rushed over to them. He also looked panicked when he saw the blood spilled and immediately asked the other employees for the first aid kit. He asked Raka to rest in the employee room first while cleaning his wound so as not to cause a scene in the shop. Ben also ordered one of the employees to clean the broken glass scattered on the floor.
Anya followed the two of them with a worried look.
Ben put the first aid kit on the table and said to Anya, ”Anya, please help Mr. Raka. We still need people to serve other customers. I will go.”
”Eh, but ...”
