Chapter 314 - Strange Similarity (1/2)
Anya bit her lip and stopped. Then she glanced nervously at Aiden.
”You guys talk first. I will wait outside,” Aiden understood the meaning of Anya's gaze and immediately left the room.
Diana frowned. ”Why can't you ask in front of Aiden?”
”Mother, I look very much like Uncle Galih's daughter. Not only did my father suspect it, but Uncle Galih's wife too. Of course I believe in you, but…”
Diana interrupted her with a serious look. ”Are you two that similar?”
”I'll show you the photo,” Anya immediately remembered when Keara asked to take a photo with her at Bima's birthday party. She looked for the photo on her cellphone and immediately showed it to her mother. ”Actually, if we look carefully, we are not that similar, but at a glance...”
Seeing the photo, Diana was also surprised. ”Why is your face similar to her? But I really have nothing to do with Galih,”
”Did Uncle Galih ask you?” Anya asked.
”Yes. He asked me if anything had happened between us when we met and had a drink the day before I got married. He also suspects that you are his daughter,” Diana stared at the photo on Anya's cellphone. The more she saw it, the more confused she became.
”If the two of you don't know each other and aren't friends, no one will think all kinds of things. But this coincidence is really strange,” Anya said.
”No wonder your father is suspicious of me too. But nothing happened between me and Galih. That night, after he was drunk, Indah took him home herself,” Diana said, mentioning the name of Galih's current wife.
Anya held her mother's hand and said, ”Mother, I had no intention of suspecting you. But I just want to know the truth and tell you about this matter so that you are not surprised if someone asks this later,”
”I understand. Don't worry. Mother would never have done such a bad thing. You also have to be brave to defend yourself. We didn't do anything wrong. Don't be afraid of what other people say,” Diana said softly.
”Alright then. I will take care of everything according to your arrangement. Half the money from the house for my father and half to pay for Uncle Galih. I'm also going to sell our little house to an uncle who sells vegetables so we can buy a new garden,” Anya said, repeating all of her mother's orders. ”I've used your recipe to make new products. But I'm still working on developing it,”
Diana nodded. ”There is one more. If you are planning to have children, you have to start preparing for your own health and your child's health. I didn't want to stop working when I was pregnant with you, so your body has become weak since childhood. It's all my fault,”
”Mother, don't I look well now?” Anya held her mother's hand with teary eyes. ”Mother, I don't blame you at all. I'm really grateful that you have given me this life,”
Diana's eyes became hot at the words of her daughter. ”You have to stay healthy and live happily. Because you are the only one mother has in this world,”
”I'm very happy, Mom. In October, I will launch my new product. I made it based on your formula. This perfume will not lose to Imel,” Anya said confidently.
”I believe in you. You're the best daughter in the world,” Diana smiled and stroked her daughter's head.
”Too bad I have to have dinner with Aiden's family tonight, so I can't accompany you. I'll be back tomorrow. Get some rest, mom!” Anya said.
”You don't need to come here. Tomorrow is Saturday. You and Aiden should also rest. Go have fun and come again Monday,” Diana said with a smile.
”How do you know tomorrow is Saturday?” Anya said in surprise.
Diana raised her head, pointed to a clock on the wall. ”There is a date,”
Anya laughed listening to her mother's answer. ”I'll be back in college starting next week. I won't have much time to accompany you. So tomorrow…”
”Can't I sleep peacefully for a day or two? I always heard your babbling in my ear when I was still in oma. Go on and have fun. Don't worry about mom. Mother is fine,” Diana said, half teasing her daughter.
