Chapter 551 - 72 Hours
"Poor aunt Indah. She was forced to marry her brother's husband and become a stepmother to Keara. Her family also prevented her from finding her real daughter and even killed her. Should we tell her to stop helping Keara and Toni Srijaya?" Anya asked with a little doubt.
"Why do you want to tell her? Are you close to Aunt Indah?" Aiden asked.
Anya closed her eyes repeatedly and said, "I'm not close to her But I feel that her family has gone too far. Keara isn't a good girl either. Meanwhile, aunt Indah looks very good. She should have known the truth."
"Why should she know the truth?" Aiden picked up his teacup on the table and took a sip. The tea tasted bitter and hard to swallow.
Anya opened her lips and then closed them again, looking difficult to answer. "I just thought that she's a good person. We can't let her be lied to like this,"
"How can you make aunt Indah trust you more than her family?" Aiden asked patiently as he continued to drink his tea.
With Anya by his side, he would continue to swallow it no matter how bitter the tea was.
Anya's eyes suddenly sparkled as she looked at Aiden, "You must have a plan, right?"
"I don't like getting into other people's business," Aiden said nonchalantly.
"Aunt Indah is an elegant and patient woman. She said her health is not good right now. I think she should know the truth. She has lost her daughter and she must take revenge for her," Anya said.
Hearing that, the teacup in Aiden's hand shook slightly. "How about you?"
"I will not forgive Keara," Anya replied calmly.
"How will you make her pay for that?"
"I'm not someone who can break the law. I can't judge her myself. But I have a plan to get revenge on her. As long as you don't get in my way." Anya was suspicious of Mila all this time. After returning to Iris, she was sure that Mila had become Keara's right hand.
Mila did not know that now Anya had learned about all her disguises. Anya would still participate in the perfume competition even though there were spies in her office. Two years ago, Keara lost to Anya and had to lose her face in front of so many people.
As a woman with high self-esteem, Keara couldn't accept that she had to lose to someone she considered as lower than her and not her equal like Anya.
That's why Anya was sure Keara would use Mila to do something.
"Just do what you want. If anything happens to you, you can hide behind me and I will protect you. I wouldn't dare do anything to you," Aiden said.
Anya smiled faintly and continued, "I will take revenge on her and let aunt Indah take care of the rest. I feel like Toni and Keara are working together. Toni was the one who removed all of Keara's barriers and let Keara be the only heir. Keara also knows everything and asks him for help."
"You're right. As you said,Toni even dared to kill Indah's biological child in order to make Keara the eldest heir. Two years ago, Keara asked Toni's help and changed your DNA test result to separate us. In the end, we had to divorce and lose our child," Aiden did not tell Anya that she was possibly Galih and Indah's daughter.
The result of the DNA test two years ago were manipulated by Toni. That's why Toni and Keara must have known Anya's true identity.
The blood samples tested at that time belonged to Maria and Indah. The results show that Anya was Maria's biological daughter and was not related by blood to Indah. If it was true that Toni exchanged it, it meant that Anya was really Indah's biological daughter.
And if it were true, that would mean that Keara already knew Anya was her sister but she still changed the result of her DNA test.
Nobody knew why Keara did it. Did she do it because she wanted to get back together with Aiden? Or because she didn't want to share her inheritance with Anya, who was actually her sister?
Anya didn't know all this and Aiden didn't tell her. How could he tell Anya that her uncle wanted to kill her and her sister kept trying to harm her?
Harris said that it was better to do a DNA test on Anya and Galih.
It's easy to say. But if Toni found out about it, he could do anything to get rid of Anya again…
Twenty years ago, just because he suspected that Anya was hiding among the girls in an orphanage, Toni burned all the innocent girls mercilessly.
Aiden didn't want something like that to happen to Anya…
"Aunt Indah has been trying to find her daughter for years. Maybe we should tell this news to the people who helped her find her daughter," Anya said.
Aiden didn't answer. He only sent a message on his cellphone and then invited Anya to take a walk outside, forgetting about the matter for a moment.
The sun slowly set and the day turned into night. The wind started blowing, making the air less hot.
Anya was taking a walk on the beach with her bare feet. The sand made her feet feel like it was being tickled.
In the distance, the setting sun turned the ocean gold.
"Do you want to play in the water?" Aiden stretched out his hand.
Anya thought for a moment. She was afraid to welcome that helping hand.
But she had promised to accompany Aiden for three days. What's wrong with enjoying those three days?
After they got married, they didn't have time for a honeymoon. Aiden had promised to take her on vacation before.
Enjoying spring in Japan while looking at the cherry blossoms, or spending summer in Maldives, diving and exploring the ocean. They could've gone to see autumn in Korea, looking at leaves falling from trees. Or be there during the winter season in Switzerland and build a snowman together.
However, the only thing they could do last year was spend Christmas day under the drizzling rain.
Anya also wanted to spend time with Aiden. Even though it was only for three days, she wanted to feel happiness together with him.
Anya smiled and welcomed Aiden's helping hand. Their hands tightly intertwined as their feet stepped into the ocean.
In the last two years, Anya had not had time to rest or have fun.
She spent all her time studying and working. As soon as she returned to Indonesia, she immediately returned to Iris to work.
It was rare for her to spend time on a desert island like this, enjoying nature and freedom.
Not far from there, she saw a coconut shop.
"Aiden, I want coconuts!" Anya immediately shouted excitedly when she saw them.
After Anya said that she would accompany him in three days, Aiden created an illusion in his mind, imagining that Anya was still his naive and childish little wife like two years ago.
Anya also imagined that this was her honeymoon with Aiden that she hadn't had the chance to make happen just yet. She was still naive and ignorant like two years ago, just like her old self.
Let her enjoy these days and forget her grudge.
Only in three days...
After that, she would return to her life. She would return to being Anya who had lost everything. She would return to being Anya who wanted to take revenge for her child's death…
Seeing that Anya had stopped rejecting him and decided to enjoy these three days, Aiden was very happy.
"Let's buy coconuts!" While holding Anya's hand, Aiden walked towards the shop and bought a coconut with two straws.
Anya and Aiden brought their faces to the straw and made their foreheads touch each other. Anya smiled and said, "I'll count to three, let's see who can finish it first. One, two, three…!"
In a short time, the coconut was sucked clean, making them laugh.
After that, they went back for a walk on the beach. Seeing the vast ocean, Anya felt that her mood had become much calmer.
Aiden had not spoken much since he took Anya's hand.
He only held Anya's hand tightly, as if he would never lose her by doing so.
But Anya knew very well, even if their fingers were tightly intertwined, they would not last forever.
They could be happy and enjoy their time together for now.
Only three days ...
72 hours...
