Chapter 734 - Flood (1/2)
”Natali ordered someone to rob you and gave the money to me. I spent the money without knowing it was your mother's medical expenses. If I had known, even if I didn't like you at that time, I would definitely choose to save someone instead of wasting that money on my own. I was stupid for letting Natali trick me, but you are just as stupid. If you were telling me the truth, maybe…”
”I understand. Thank you for telling the truth,” Anya said before hanging up the phone.
Right, Anya also felt guilty. If only she was not ashamed to ask Raka for help that time, maybe her grandmother could be saved.
Even though she was poor, her pride was too high to ask others for help.
”Anya, it's okay. Everything is over!” Diana approached her and hugged Anya gently.
”Mother, I'm sorry. Because of me, all of you are hurt,” Anya said regretfully.
”You are not wrong. This is all my fault. You've been suffering all this time. Over the years, you worked hard to pay for my hospital bills. I should be the one to apologize to you,” said Diana sadly.
Anya hugged her mother back. ”Mother, we are not at fault. But the people who hurt us are. How can I blame you for what Imel did and father's failure to look after and protect you?”
”We don't have to blame ourselves. The important thing is, we are still together and happy now,” said Diana with a smile.
Anya nodded and rested her head on her mother's shoulder.
There is no point in regretting the past. Anya can only learn a lesson from it, so that one day, she doesn't make the same mistake.
…
After leaving her mother's house, Anya started editing the proposal video from earlier. Even though she threatened Raisa, she didn't really spread the clip that showed Raisa falling down the stairs and embarrassing herself.
That night, the internet was stirred up.
The Atmajaya Group and Mahendra Group websites released the video about Ivan and Raisa's proposal simultaneously. Fortunately, it received support and prayers from everyone.
The two of them were friends since childhood and Ivan was a man without any crazy rumors about him.
Many people don't like Raisa and her childish, careless nature. But after she got engaged to Ivan, she had changed a lot.
Raisa can change because Ivan is a great figure. He can lead her to the right path.
At the same time, Aiden told Anya that Galih intended to make Agnes take over the Pratama Group's garden outside the city affected by the earthquake.
Anya felt unwilling if it fell into Agnes' hands. But Galih had no other choice. He had to hand it over to Agnes because Anya canceled her intention to go there before.
”Aiden, I have to go!” Anya said firmly.
After Anya returned to the city, Aiden did not want her to go away from him again. He didn't want to part with Anya so he tried to keep her at home.
”After the earthquake, heavy rain occurred there. There is a possibility of flooding or landslides. I don't want you to go.”
”I can't trust Agnes. The garden is mine and my mother's hard work. She didn't know the situation and there was no point in going there. Actually, my mother and I have planned how to deal with the rainy season. But since my mother is currently sick and needs rest, I still have to go!”
Anya was adamant and didn't want to budge. And she's not asking permission either. She has decided to go.
”Do you have to go even if I don't agree? If something happens to you, what about me and the kids?” Aiden asked.
”I will protect myself. Aiden, you don't understand how much that garden means to me. I have been working since the land was level, watching the plants grow each passing day. I can't see them all destroyed…” Anya's eyes turned red.
Aiden understood that the garden was something that helped Anya to overcome her depression. Anya considered it a living being that she had painstakingly raised from scratch.
