Chapter 113 - Cannot Be With

Anya felt her heart ache, but she couldn't explain everything.

Someone from among the crowd suddenly shouted loudly, "You have seen the news, right. Actually what happened?"

Anya lowered her head and ignored the person.

She believed Aiden could solve all these problems. She trusted him. Besides, she didn't know what to do. So, she thought it would be better if she just kept quiet.

Anya kept doing her job until the last customer left. After the last customer left, Anya sat on the chair looking at the messy equipment with a tired look. It felt like she didn't have the energy to clean it up.

"Anya, you've worked hard. Get some rest!" Ben ordered another employee to clean the equipment.

"Thank you, manager." Anya immediately went to the employee room and drank two glasses of water at once. She took out her cell phone to check the news on the internet.

The news that attacked her mother had been deleted, but bank records and details of Diana's hospital fees payments three years ago had been made public.

In addition, there was confirmation from the hospital that the money used by Anya to pay for her mother's hospital fees was a donation from her grandmother. Her grandmother gave up her organs to be donated to someone else, in exchange, the hospital agreed to perform medical surgery on Diana.

Aiden made an official statement that was publicly published, "My lover never received money from the Mahendra family and the evidence is clearly visible. I will investigate who spread this fake news through legal channels."

However, none of this stopped others from insulting her. Everyone envied her for having Aiden always stand up for her under any circumstances.

Everyone kept blaming her and accusing her of being the third person between Aiden and Natali. And everyone knew that her involvement with Raka Mahendra was the truth.

"Who do you really love? Aiden or Raka?"

The question popped up on the internet, making Anya's head buzz. Why was things getting more complicated?

Suddenly, Ben entered the employee room, "Anya, Mr. Raka is waiting for you in front."

Anya took a deep breath. She knew that she could not hide so she only hoped to face all of this calmly.

She immediately changed her working clothes and tied her hair. After that, she took a deep breath and exhaled repeatedly, trying to calm herself down.

When Raka saw Anya come out of the Rose Scent, his eyes sparkled upon the woman's beauty. Her ponytail made Anya look fresher. This beauty was what made Raka intoxicated and loved Anya half to death.

When he was young, he even told his mother that he would marry Anya one day. He was completely blinded by his love for Anya since he was a child.

However, fate said otherwise. Although they reunited after being apart for a long time, they couldn't be together. They were not destined to unite…

Today, Raka came to inquire about the check his mother gave Anya. He wanted to hear the truth from Anya's own lips.

"Anya, can we talk for a moment?" said Raka as he stepped forward.

"What do you want again, Raka?" Anya exhaled her breath, looking very tired by the arrival of the son of Mahendra Family who kept bothering her. Anya didn't want to see him again. She didn't want to make Aiden upset and angry with her. Why did this man keep seeing her?

"I just wanted to ask you something. After that I will go." Raka looked deeply at Anya, "Three years ago, you received money given by my family. Why don't you use the money?"

"I don't really need that money. I just want to be apart from you." Anya said coldly, "Aiden doesn't like it when I meet you and I'm really happy now. Please don't bother me."

After saying that, Anya walked past Raka and didn't care about him anymore.

Raka was still standing in his place, staring at Anya's back as the woman walked away from him. Anya's words kept ringing inside his head.

Anya did not receive money from the Mahendra Family, but his mother said otherwise. Irena said that Anya accepted the money and was willing to part with him.

Raisa also said the same thing and even spread it in public.

If Aiden didn't show evidence of Anya's bank records, Raka would never know that Anya didn't receive the money. Anya just wanted to part with him and make him misunderstand the money issue.

Was it possible that Anya felt pressured while together with him? Could it be that his mother asked Anya to stay away from him?

He completely misunderstood and betrayed Anya's love for him.

'Anya… Anya… I'm sorry, what can I do to make you forgive me?'

Raka clenched his fist. Regret, guilt and heavy feelings attacked his heart. He had lost his lover because of a lie. He was consumed by the lies and hatred for something that Anya never did.

…

Meanwhile, Anya had left Raka and headed to a cafe. She rarely spent her money on food or buying things outside. She always saved the money she had.

But this time, she ordered a meal and coffee to wrap, not for herself. She bought the food for Tara, as she wanted to thank her for agreeing to teach her the massage method for Aiden.

In the car, Anya leaned against the window and stared at the scenery outside.

Under the pressure of the situation, Raka recorded an apology video so that he could get Raisa out of the police station. When recording the video, Raka deliberately did not mention the money Anya received when the woman separated from him. He wanted to protect Anya and hide this reality for her.

But he didn't know that Anya was actually the one protecting him…

Anya never received the money from the Mahendra family, but she never told Raka. She hid what Irena had done because she didn't want the relationship between Raka and his mother to deteriorate just because of it.

'Raka, thank you for decorating my childhood. Thank you for the love you give me. This is all I can do for you. We can't be together, but I wish you all the best.' Anya wished a good life for Raka inside her heart. She was really determined to forget Raka. Her life with Aiden was already happy now.

Raka was just someone from her past. The past that she should forget ...

"Mr. Abdi, we should stop by Doctor Tara's clinic first." Anya said.

"Yes, Madame!" Abdi answered.

When Anya arrived at Tara's clinic and was about to get out of the car, she saw Nico getting out of the clinic.

Nico also saw Anya coming with a package of food in surprise, "Auntie, what are you doing here? Do you still want to learn from this fake doctor?" He asked irritably.

Anya nodded. She didn't understand why Nico hated Tara so much. She knew that Nico was very childish, but his attitude was very strange.

"Don't you know that this doctor likes my uncle? You can't have anything to do with her! She will continue to approach Uncle!" Nico said.

"Is it true?" Anya did not think that Tara also liked Aiden.

"You do not know?" Nico said, "There are so many doctors in this city, but why is my uncle just letting this woman take care of him? Aren't you suspicious, Auntie?"

Anya felt a crack in her heart. Without realizing it, her hands grabbed her chest. She felt pain, but the pain was not visible on the outside.

'Is it true? Does Tara like Aiden?'

'Does Aiden like Tara too? Is that why he let her take care of him?'
