Not Runaway
CHAPTER 43
On Monday, Aiden escorted Airin to the RAF. He wants to ask you a little bit about his uncle Richie.
“Airin!! You've worried me. “ Richie was surprised to see Airin standing at the door of his room. He immediately rushed to welcome Airin with a hug.
“Eheem.!” Aiden pretended to cough to show his presence there. He's not jealous. Really am. Aiden begins to feel that Richie really considers Airin a friend since he has been helping Aiden to
find Airin.
“Hai Aiden's.. You came too? It's not crazy anymore hahaha.” they laugh. Aiden conveyed the meaning of his arrival. The three of them sat down and had a serious discussion. Aiden showed me the evidence he had. Starting from the credit card photo in Evelyn's bag, recap the credit card transaction, to
biodata card owner. Richie checked carefully. He did not want to take any wrong action. Moreover, this concerns the good name of his family.
“It looks like you were right. He's my om, the address is exactly the same. Then what does he have to do with Evelyn?” ask Richie to Aiden.
“That I don't know yet. My man is also looking for more information. It's just that I feel like you should know that I'm watching your om. You are Airin's best friend, after all. I don't want to be later
you guys have misunderstood. And if you please, I'd like to ask for help. If there's any information about your om that's a little suspicious and related to Evelyn, please let me know or Airin. I beg.” Aiden tries to choose the right words so as not to offend Richie.
“I understand Aiden. I will definitely help and let you know if there is any news.” Richie said. ‘Anything for happiness Airin.’ He glanced at Airin.
“Still Ric, you are the best.” Airin smiled at him. The smile that Richie always missed.

Desy is waiting for Richie to come home from work in his living room. There was a lot he wanted to ask his son. Richie finally came home after two hours of waiting.
“Richie, what are you doing in the same hospital as Airin? He still woo you tell him to come and take care of him? He just got married.” Richie was surprised by the sudden question. That incident has already passed by a week or so.
“Mama know where?” tanyanya's confused.
“You just answer mom's questions. If he still bothers you, mama will tell papa to close the RAF. Let's not say RAF is just a mode he keeps you close. Already married, is it still itchy?!” Desy
raise voice.
“Ma, first.who had the idea of establishing RAF was Richie, not Airin. Second, mom and dad don't have the right to shut down the RAF because it's pure Richie and Airin money, no interference papa. And lastly, Airin
never seduced Richie. Richie loved her, Ma. And Richie's been rejected.” Richie was also provoked by emotions.
“Mama.mama know it. There's a mama acquaintance who saw you there. Anyway Richie, mama mohooon is just like you. Forget Airin. He's already married. You are also married. Women like Hannah are perfect for you.” That's again.Hal that Richie has often heard from his mother.
Richie thought hard in his room. Who told his mother about Airin in the hospital. He only briefly went there and met Evelyn. Is it possible that he? That's all Richie thinks about. If
that's true of Evelyn, does she know her mother? Or through Felix? Richie thought about finding out the answer.
About Hannah. Their relationship is quite smooth, they already know their parents. Hannah
I told Richie he wanted to get married at a young age. Richie knows what he means. But he couldn't respond to it. Richie just feels his struggle to forget Airin for nothing. He did not know whether his feelings had diminished or not. If only there was a feeling gauge, he would surely try desperately to lower it. Richie had already reduced his schedule to the RAF so that he would not see Airin often. But once I meet? The feeling of continuing to protect and make the woman happy is always there, always the same, or even more. Richie tried to control himself, not show it all to Airin. No one can understand the pain Richie feels seeing Airin and Aiden together. But the pain and happiness came hand in hand as if they were friends, when Richie saw the smile on Airin's face and the one by his side was Aiden, not him. Yes, that's how big Richie's love is only destined to be Airin's best friend. Richie can't bear to lie to Hannah with marriage, it's the same he lied to himself. Richie isn't ready to get married now, he just wishes Hannah would wait for him. Wait until Hannah gets at least 51% of her heart. Richie took his phone. Delete one photo at a time Airin there. His finger stopped in the last photo. Photos of Airin, Vely, and himself taken during the RAF opening. No. gabe. He could not delete the photo. Richie will let those memories live on. At least for a while. I hope it doesn't last forever.

“Ai, I have something.” said Aiden. He showed me a piece of paper. Airin put her phone on a small table next to her bed.
“What is this?” Airin read the paper.
“Darren blood test result.” Answer Aiden.
“Darren's sick? How did I not know until the blood test everything?” Airin sounded panicked. He hoped Aiden would give an answer without reading it.
“Darren doesn't hurt, Ai. His blood was checked when you left yesterday.” Airin waited silently for Aiden to continue his explanation.
“There's nothing I haven't told you about yet. Do you remember what happened at Evelyn's apartment? Darren fell asleep and I took him home. At that time I felt strange. Darren rarely took a nap, and at that time he was fast asleep for three hours. When he woke up, he complained bitterly on his tongue. I suspect something is wrong. And here's the result. Darren's blood test results. It found substances containing sleeping pills in Darren's blood. “ Airin gaping, not believing what she heard. He wanted to scream, to be angry. But for what? There was no sick woman there. Airin just felt sorry for Darren. For Evelyn's obsession with Aiden, Darren becomes a victim. Although not his real son, Airin loved him very much. Darren's a smart, nice, sweet kid. His attitude is very
adult at six years old. Unknowingly, Tear of Tear was dripping.
“I.. don't know what else Ai has to say. He's very late. Darren was the first reason he came back. Then what did he do? He's just busy finding ways to tease you. If she was with you, why did she leave. Poor Darren, maybe in her little heart she's happy her mom's coming. Don't let Darren know what his mom's doing, Ai. Never tell him about this problem.” Airin's voice vibrates. Aiden held her, trying to calm her down.
“Yes, you are calm huh. When the results of this test came out this afternoon, I immediately contacted Mr. Sihombing. Tomorrow he'll take care of everything. Bringing the results of this test into evidence. I'm sure the right of visit will be revoked. Minimum will be reduced, as long as possible.” Airin was a little relieved to hear that. It's terrible to imagine Darren having to see that woman again.
“And one more, Ai. This is the proof I promised you, that I framed Evelyn in her apartment.” Aiden looked at Airin. A triumphant look. Now it's Airin's turn to feel stupid. She's ashamed. So shy. She just had to trust her husband. Not even making Evelyn feel like she's winning. Airin hugged Aiden. Apologizing in his heart.
“Never doubt me again Ai, nor will I ever doubt you.”. The night ended only with hugs that warmed each other up. For the first time, the two of them were able to sleep more soundly than the previous nights. The words “I love you” became the cover of their conversation that night. Simple words but have a meaning that is only understood by the person who said it, not the person who heard it. That is why the expression love means more when spoken together.
