Novel Bin Chapter 62 - Rival
"We are lovers. But three years ago, Anya received some money from my mother and cut ties with me. I immediately went abroad because I was very angry at that time…" A thin smile crossed Raka\'s face when he said that. That smile showed the regret he felt in his heart. His regret for leaving Anya, regret for not coming back sooner.
"Huh!? So, you suddenly went abroad because of Anya? I thought..."
"You think I was on my own accord?" Asked Raka with a wry smile, "I was heartbroken at that time. I want to get away from her, trying to forget her. But for the past three years I\'ve been thinking about her all the time."
Nico could only scratch his head even though he didn\'t feel itchy. He didn\'t know what to do because the situation was very complicated, "You know yourself now that Anya is with my uncle and you know what kind of man my uncle is. I don\'t need to explain it to you anymore."
Nico didn\'t want to say anything bad about Aiden. After all, his uncle was his idol. He really respected and loved Aiden. He didn\'t need to explain anymore. Raka knew that if he kept thinking about Anya, it was tantamount to seeking death.
"Aiden warned me that he would act if I tried to contact Anya." Raka\'s eyes looked so full of pain that they looked a little teary, "But I know that Anya was forced to be with your uncle. She didn\'t want to be with Aiden. How could I be silent when I found out about that?"
Nico patted Raka\'s shoulder softly, trying to comfort him. The man then let out a deep breath. His friend really didn\'t know anything. There seemed no other choice but to reveal the truth. If Aiden and Anya\'s relationship were kept a secret from Raka, that man would not stop chasing Anya.
"We are best friends, so I don\'t want to keep anything from you. Only you know about this. They both are actually married. Don\'t tell this to anyone." Nico said.
The sentence was like a thunder in broad daylight, snatching Raka\'s attention all of a sudden.
"WHAT?" Raka turned his head, looked at Nico in disbelief. His eyes widened. He couldn\'t believe what he had just heard.
It never crossed his mind that Aiden and Anya were married. He thought Anya was just Aiden\'s lover. This news was really unexpected for him.
"My uncle said they are married, but since Anya hasn\'t graduated from college and my uncle just canceled his engagement to Natali, he decided to not announce it. He doesn\'t want to tarnish his or Anya\'s good name." Nico explained further.
He said it while glancing at Raka. Nico warned his best friend that he also wouldn\'t stay silent if Raka did anything to bother Aiden, even though they were good friends. Blood relations were thicker than friendship, after all. He would definitely choose to defend Aiden over Raka, especially in this matter. He thought that Raka shouldn\'t interfere in Aiden and Anya\'s relationship.
"I don\'t know if my uncle is lying or not, but it\'s no use lying to me either. It is also possible that their marriage is only temporary, limited to a contract marriage. But as long as Anya is still my uncle\'s lover, you should stay away from her. Otherwise, you will get yourself hurt!" He continued.
Nico was very childish. He was used to being pampered since he was a child, so his cheerful and child-like nature continued to adulthood. However, in times of need like this, he could also think and act reasonably. He could handle typical situations maturely.
Raka was silent when he heard Nico\'s words. He didn\'t want to stay away from Anya. Currently, he saw the former lover he still loved under the control of a man like Aiden. Anya didn\'t even dare to fight Aiden at all. How could he be at ease letting Anya be with a man like that?
"Mrs. Anya separated from her father because of an affair problem. That is why her mother took Anya away from the Tedjasukmana Family after their divorce, which caused Anya to not feel the love from her father. Anya knows how her family was ruined by a third person. Therefore, it is impossible for her to become the third person and interfere with the relationship between Aiden and Natali." Raka said.
Raka had known Anya since she was a child and in the past, this woman trusted him very much. Anya always told him everything and so he knew about Anya\'s whole life. Except for the last three years.
"Do you know why your uncle married her?" Raka asked Nico.
Raka and Nico were both curious about this. Nico could have ordered people to secretly investigate Aiden and Anya, but Aiden had a myriad of ways to thwart the investigation. If his uncle found out that he was investigating secretly, he would be in deep trouble.
Nico could see how special Anya was to Aiden. He could see how his Uncle, who was very cold and didn\'t care about anyone, turned gentle when he was with Anya. He knew that his uncle loved Anya. So, he decided to hold back his curiosity.
"I didn\'t live with my uncle and he never told me anything. I don\'t know about his personal feelings." Nico answered, shrugging his shoulders as if he didn\'t care.
While they were talking, Nico\'s cell phone rang. The words \'Uncle\' appeared on the screen. Nico was so shocked when he saw this that he accidentally slammed on the brakes of his vehicle. Fortunately, the streets were quiet, so nothing dangerous happened. He stared at the screen of his cellphone for a few moments, feeling he didn\'t have the backbone to answer the call.
"I\'m sorry for today, Nico." When he saw Nico\'s cell phone screen, Raka knew that Aiden wanted to ask his friend for an explanation. It was all because Raka forced Nico to meet him with Aiden.
Nico took a deep breath and picked up the phone. The phone was connected to the audio from the car so Raka could hear what Aiden was saying.
"Uncle, I just left. Do you miss me already?" He said cheerfully, trying to cover his very scared heart.
"Hmm ... I really miss you!" Aiden\'s voice sounded cold and cynical as he said it.
Cold sweat started running down Nico\'s forehead when he heard his uncle\'s answer. It seemed that his uncle was furious with him. He really didn\'t know that Raka and Anya knew each other!
"I\'m sorry Uncle. I really don\'t know that Raka is your rival." Nico\'s whole body seemed numb and his heart seemed to stop beating.
"Rival? He doesn\'t deserve to be called my rival. You ask yourself the reason!" Aiden said calmly. He didn\'t care at all if Raka could hear it because that was the truth.
Of course, Raka knew why he didn\'t deserve to be Aiden\'s rival. It was because he couldn\'t do what Aiden did. He couldn\'t make Anya happy and marry her. He could not oppose his parents.
On the contrary, Aiden had married Anya. He did not care about his family background at all. Even Aiden also paid for Anya\'s mother\'s hospital fees. That was why Aiden said that Raka would not be able to match him. The reason was clear; he was too weak.
He was too weak to oppose his parents for his own sake. He was too weak to protect the woman he loved because of his own stupidity.
What he couldn\'t do, Aiden could do for Anya...
