Chapter 12 - SONYA

At noon Aska was still asleep and slipped inside his thick blanket. His body feels crushed, he feels sore and tired from the beach just now. all stiff body, especially in the legs. Aska groped for the bolster but it's not there, Aska's eyes opened slightly squinted looking for the bolster.

"Are you looking for this?" Karin was standing upright beside her bed, carrying a bolster.

"I'm dead! Surely she will torture me this time." Aska thought, smiling wryly Aska got up from his sleep and grabbed the bolster that Karin was still carrying.

"Can you give me the bolster? My body aches all over, like my bones have been crushed." said Aska honestly, hoping that Karin would pity him.

"You owe me a story about the gun!" Karin sat beside Aska's bed without giving the bolster to Aska.

"Tell me now!" ask Karin.

Aska sat cross-legged supporting his chin on the pillow.

"I am a CEO Rin, have many competitors, some of them must have evil to overthrow my company, among them there must be someone with bad intentions to me. Some might even want to kill me, because I am the sole heir of a large company Europe there. My Daddy and Mommy live there. I'm just here alone, so I have to be able to take care of myself. " Aska explained looking at Karin who listened to her story.

"Mr Damar and aunt Imah said, back then you were very famous for your arrogant nature, and stubborn, had lots of female friends, used to go out and about the pub. Is that true?" asked Karin.

Aska raised his saliva, you really can't keep up with mr Damar and aunt Imah.

"You don't have to scold them, I asked for it." Karin continued.

"Now just answer, is it true?" Karin continued, as if she knew that Aska wanted to scold mr Damar and aunt Imah.

Aska nodded weakly, unable to cover up the reality. In the past he was like that.

"That was then, now I am a different Aska." Aska's low voice was like a whisper.

Karin laughed softly.

"I know that, even Mr. Damar and aunt Imah feel it too, why did it change like that? Is there a cause? Has it been since you learned about your serious illness?" investigated Karin.

"Not because of that! You know for yourself I'm not afraid of my illness and even death." said Aska quickly.

"So, because of what?"

"Would you believe it? If I answered the truth?" asked Aska back.

"See first, what your answer looks like." Karin looked straight at Aska's bead.

"It's all because of you, since I've known you since I loved you!" answered Aska honestly.

"I am not afraid to die if indeed my illness can cause my death, which I can not prove if I lose you, I can not leave you alone. I also do not know why I can not be angry with you, or hurt your heart. I want to take care of you as best I can. For that I leave everything. my night world, especially all the women who know me. I only want you, from yesterday, today and the days to come. " continued Aska honestly at length. His heart felt relieved because he had revealed all his heart to Karin.

Karin let out a deep breath, her chest felt a little tight when she heard Aska's inner voice now.

Karin was speechless. Everything she heard, was very difficult for Karin to believe. It had been quite a while since Karin had closed her heart to all men, her feelings of love had long since died. Even though it was his ex-girlfriend Edo who had the heart to betray his loyalty.

"What do you think, about my feelings?" Asked Aska, he did not dare to ask whether Karin had the same feeling, because Aska knew Karin had rejected him several times.

"It's up to you, I can't give any opinion. It's your right." Karin replied dryly.

"Only two that I ask of you, first stay away from your gun, I do not want anything like that happened again, and the second as soon as possible solve your problem with Sonya. If indeed you have to marry Sonya I'm glad to hear that means my job is done!"

"If I break up with Sonya, will you accept me?" replied Aska.

"I do not know!" Karin replied with a complicated heart.

"Just solve it first, your problem. This week I will stay here, if your problem is not resolved, I will leave . And you will not be able to prevent me anymore."

"OK." said Aska desperately.

"Come on, wake up, let's have lunch now." Karin asked while returning the bolster she was holding to Aska.

Karin walked out of the room and walked down the stairs to the dining table near the cooking kitchen.

Aska left the room still in deep thought, thinking how to break up with Sonya as soon as possible.

Aska hurried over to Karin, who was already sitting at the dining table.

"Sit down, hurry up and eat and don't forget to take your medicine. Don't forget it's chemotherapy tomorrow again." said Karin while giving an empty plate to Aska. Aska accepted it, and immediately took rice and several special menus prepared just for him.

"Mr. Aska in the living room Miss Sonya is waiting for you. She wanted to come in here but I was able to hold it. Now what should I do?" asked mr Damar, who appeared suddenly.

Aska looked at Karin with his eyes asking for opinion.

"Go to Sonya, and explain what you want to explain to Sonya. I'm not here to ask you to break your engagement!" Karin assures Aska that she doesn't want to be seen as a third party who destroys the relationship between Aska and Sonya.

With a huff, Aska got up from his chair and stepped into the living room to meet Sonya who was waiting for him.

Sonya's face was beaming when she saw Aska come out from inside. Sonya got up from her seat and ran and bumped into Aska's body, in Aska's hug very tightly.

"Askaaa, I miss you dear. You haven't visited me for a long time, that's why I was desperate to come here." said Sonya looking at Aska with nostalgia.

Aska clumsily released Sonya's embrace,

"Sit down Sonya, I have something to talk to you about." said Aska seriously.

Sonya looked at Aska's face, which was looking anxious.

Sonya sat in front of Aska who was staring at the table and tapped the table with her finger.

Aska looked up at Sonya who was waiting for him to speak with a serious face.

"You know for yourself Sonya, from the start I didn't approve of this engagement, because I don't love you. But you kept forcing me to try, and you promised that if I still can't love you, then I can end this engagement." Aska said, remembering the agreement between him and Sonya. Sonya's face flushed, her eyes began to fog, her heart suddenly felt bad at Aska's initial words.

"Then, what do you mean Aska?" Sonya asked with a pounding heart, the fear of losing Aska began to envelop her heart.

"I want to end it, I can't continue our engagement. I can't love you." Said Aska looking at Sonya giving an explanation.

"Why can't you love me? Our engagement is only three months, and two months we haven't met. How come there was time for you to love me. Give me a chance to make you love me." beg Sonya.

"I've loved another woman." replied Aska.

Sonya looked up, looked into Aska's eyes looking for sincerity there, And indeed there was honesty in Aska's eyes.

"I can't believe what you are saying! Haven't you never been able to love anyone except yourself and your parents?" asked Sonya with teary eyes

"You have to believe, I really love her, and want to marry her. So I want to break this engagement." answered Aska in a clear voice.

"Who is that woman Aska? You can't break the engagement, because it concerns your parents and mine." Sonya replied with a heart that started to fill with emotion.

"You don't need to know who that woman is, and I'll explain to my Daddy and Mommy later."

"Maybe you can explain this to your Daddy, but I'm not sure about your Mommy. You know your Mommy really loves me." Sonya smiled sarcastically, bullying Aska by using her Mommy as a tool because Sonya knew Mommy Aska was very good to her.

Aska looked at Sonya with an irritated heart.

"As for my parents, it will be my concern, so don't get involved. If you do that you will know the consequences yourself." threatens Aska.

Sonya got up from her seat and looked into Aska's eyes with anger and hatred in her heart.

"I am not a weak woman who is easy for you to get rid of, if I can't get to you, then that woman won't be able to get you. That's my promise!" Sonya said with a stomping foot, and walked away out the door closing it very hard.

Aska was silent and massaged his forehead which suddenly felt dizzy. This problem was not as easy as he thought. Things get complicated if Sonya will do what she wants, and it will harm Karin.

Aska let go of her breath heavily, with a complicated mind, Aska stepped up the stairs and walked towards her room.
