DO I DESERVE TO BE HAPPY?
Episode 11

"You mean Mr Adi kusuma atmaja?!" I shouted in surprise while closing my mouth wide open hearing Arden's explanation just now

"Yes Rain I am his only child, and before your father died I wanted to match you " replied Arden looking softly and stroking my hair

"So that means you're the same as me in a mate?" I ask who still does not believe the words of Arden just now

He just nodded his head slowly while continuing to gently caress my hair

"From the time papa really liked you Rain, papa always said that you're a beautiful girl who is kind" he said

"So he intends to betroth me to you, but unfortunately papa's intention has not been able to reveal because your father arrived to die" he continued, looking in any direction as if imagining the past

Mr. Adi Kusuma was my father's employer, when I was a child I was invited several times my father worked to my master's house because sometimes he asked my father to take me to work

All I know is he is a very good person, every time I come to his house he must always buy me ice cream and chocolate

He always said "often come with your father to work, then uncle will buy you ice cream and a lot of chocolate"

And I did not think at all that this man who incidentally my boyfriend is the son of Mr. Kusuma

"But why did I never see you?"" ask me curious

"When I was a little girl I used to live in my grandmother's house, maybe for that reason you never saw me "Aryden replied gently to me

"Aahh so it seems." I said while nodding my head as if understanding what Arden said.

"Then how do we know almost everything about me Ar? ask me again

"After my father died, I promised him to look after and protect you so I tried to find out all about you Rain, it's not uncommon for me to follow you and even say I'm like a stalker " he said while laughing a little

"I was confused at first, how could I have married someone I didn't know at all, but after 2 years of finding out about you I started falling in love with Rain..and it turns out that it's true that papa said you're a pretty, kind girl" she continued, looking at me gently

"So you followed me for 2 years?" I asked a little in disbelief

He just nodded his head

"I've been in love with you since I first saw you Rain, and I've been falling in love with you ever since I followed you sorry that I just showed you my face now, and I wasn't there when you were in trouble " he said while pulling me into his arms.

There was a warm feeling I felt when he hugged me...

Now I know why he knows everything about me, and I don't think he's been following me for 2 years without my knowledge

"Promise never to leave me Rain." he said softly as he peeked at the top of my head.

I just nodded my head too

Because Sunday is not working either

Because my work day is from Monday to Saturday

After we finished with all the drama about the past we decided to go the road to the mall like other young couples

Not long after we arrived at one of the biggest malls in the city

We entered the mall and Arden never let go of his hand

"Ar release my hands yes I'm not good at seeing people "I said while trying to take my hands off slowly, I,I who have never dated even though was actually uncomfortable from earlier in seeing many pairs of eyes because Arden always held my hand

"No way!" said Arden quickly

Huufftt I can only sigh at Arden's behavior

How is it like a boy anyway, if you think his age is very far above me

You old baby !

My grouse is upset in my heart

We decided to go to the movies, so there was a new movie that I really wanted to see

After the film was over we decided to fill our stomachs which began to rumble

"What do you want to eat?" ask Arden to me

"It's up to you "I'll relax

I also laughed at his scolding

Arden took me to a fancy restaurant that was still in the mall

"Ar...kok eat here anyway? it's a luxury Ar. The price must be expensive "my whisper softly into Arden's ears

"Aren't you the one who said whatever? so yes it's up to me dong want to invite you to eat where.." chirped by putting on a relaxed face

"But Ar.." I stopped immediately because the waiter came to our table

"What do you want Rain to order?" ask Arden while turning over the menu book

"Same as you "my answer is because honestly this is the first time I ate at an expensive restaurant and I do not understand the name of the menu that is mostly English

Arden who heard my words just smiled at me

I who realized that was just a clumsy smile held in shame

After ordering some food the waiter left us

At that instant I saw a beautiful, white, tall, smooth woman like a top model walking towards me and Arden

"Arden.." said the woman as she looked at Arden with a look of disbelief.

Arden was immediately shocked when he realized that someone was hugging him

"Sello.." said Arden quickly after recognizing someone who had suddenly hugged him.

"Oh my God, it's really you Arden !" said the woman again sembaru hugged Arden very tightly

I who saw the incident was just stunned to see Arden who was held tightly by a woman who I thought was near perfect

Suddenly I compared myself to that woman named Sello

Of course I have nothing to compare with him

Looks like Arden noticed me who started putting on a face that doesn't like seeing Arden in another woman's arms

He quickly removed his hug from the woman

"Oh my goodness, Ard.I can't believe I'm meeting you here, I miss Ard.." said the woman again while trying to hug Arden.

But Arden quickly brushed off the woman's hand

"I'm sorry." That's the only word that came out of Arden's lips

There's a bit of discomfort in my heart seeing Arden

"I miss you so much Ard, I tried to contact you but I never could, where have you been all this time?" asked the woman as if she did not consider my clear existence first sitting together with Arden

Seeing those who were engrossed myself, I decided to leave

My chest was so claustrophobic as to what the woman said, like something stuck in my heart that it was hard for me to breathe

I immediately got out of my seat, realizing I was about to leave, Arden held my hand

Suddenly I turned back to look at Arden who was still sitting while holding my hand

"Who is this Ard?" sello asked while looking at me sharply

Arden just fell silent and tightened his hand, his eyes looking at me as if talking 'don't go stay here '

But I who could not stand the tightness in my chest even took off my hand quickly to be able to get away from that place immediately

After releasing my hand, I immediately left them both

He's not even after me...

I mumbled in my heart
