Chapter 200 - Awakened

"Isn't the price too high? At that price, not many people would make appointments…" Esther said.

"I don't want to spend all my time making money. I also want to study." Anya expressed her thoughts.

Esther nodded when she heard that excuse, "I understand. Then, we will do it according to your decision."

After that, they immediately announced it through their website. Most of the people canceled their appointments because the price was too high. But Anya didn't feel sad. Instead, she felt more relieved.

She didn't have enough time to do everything.

Anya left from eight in the morning for work and came home at five in the evening. Apart from working, she also went to the hospital to visit her mother. And she spent most of her time in the perfume room.

People who didn't get Anya's perfume were waiting for the launch of her new product. Therefore she was currently experimenting to create a new perfume formula.

Each morning, she brought a different sample of perfume for Esther to try, but she was still not satisfied with the results.

Time passed quickly. Thursday, at exactly five in the afternoon, she walked out of the mall and got back into the car.

"Madame, where are you going? Go home or go to the hospital?" Abdi asked.

"To the hospital." Anya did not want to go home too soon. Aiden was not at home. When she returned to the empty room, she felt that she missed Aiden even more.

During the trip to the hospital, Anya sent a message to Aiden.

Anya: "Aiden, when are you coming home? I miss you."

Aiden: "I have a lot to take care of. I don't think I can go home tomorrow."

Anya's lips curved in disappointment. However, thinking that Aiden was the president director of the Atmajaya Group, she accepted that Aiden would not be able to accompany her every day.

She didn't want Aiden to worry about her, so she immediately replied to his message.

Anya: "It's okay. I know you are busy. I'll be waiting for you to come home."

After the message was sent, there was no more reply from Aiden. Anya didn't know how Aiden was and if her husband was busy right now.

Once at the hospital, Anya went straight to her mother's room. Unexpectedly, she saw her father there!

"Dad, why are you here?" Anya looked at him in shock.

"Anya, I came to return this. Perfume recipe that belongs to your mother." Deny gave an envelope to Anya.

"Father gave it to me?" Anya couldn't believe it. She stretched out her hand and took the envelope.

Deny looked at Diana who was lying on the hospital bed, "This recipe belongs to your mother. It should return to the owner."

"Thank you, Dad." Anya's eyes turned red. She almost had tears in her eyes.

Deny sneered, "If you really thank me, tell Nico to feel sorry for me. If the Tedjasukmana family went bankrupt, Natali's marriage would be ruined. You will also be humbled by the Atmajaya Family. Aiden is currently away from Indonesia so Nico can do whatever he wants. I can't stand that child anymore."

"What is Nico doing?" Anya did not think that her father would send her mother's perfume formula just because he could not stand Nico's pressure.

And she knew very well that Nico's attitude was an order from Aiden. Even though Aiden was not in Indonesia, he could still control all situations.

"You don't understand business matters. This is your mother's recipe. You can help your father by saying kind things to Aiden and persuading him to help me through this difficult time. Raka said that he got involved first and he couldn't interfere. I have no other way." Deny said, frowning.

Anya realized that her father looked much more disheveled than the last time they had met. His hair also started to turn white a lot, a sign of a lot of thoughts were recently stuck in his mind.

"Thank you for giving back this recipe for me, Father. I don't understand business, but I'll try to help you." Anya held the envelope in her hand tightly.

"Then I won't interfere with your time with your mother. There is something else I have to do. I'll go first." Deny immediately turned and left.

After Anya escorted Deny to the elevator, she returned to her mother's room and saw a bouquet of irises on the table.

"Mom, dad came to visit you and brought irises for you, your favorite flower." Anya held Diana's hand gently.

"How much longer do you want to sleep?"

Diana laid on the bed, without her usual reaction. The sound of her heartbeat connected to the device sounded steady. 

Anya felt a little frustrated seeing the situation without this development, "Mom, guess what's in my hand?"

"This is your perfume formula. There's a date and your signature to this formula. The date is right before the accident that happened to you." Anya said while looking at the formula ratio carefully, "I don't see anything wrong with the ratio. I'm sure this is the original recipe."

"Read it to me." Diana said weakly.

"Mother!" Anya exclaimed in surprise. Her eyes immediately turned red, tears of happiness flowing profusely, "Are you awake?"

"The recipe, read it!" Diana closed her eyes and then opened them again, "Read the recipe for me."

"Alright, alright. I will read it for you." With tears streaming down, Anya read out one by one the ingredients listed on the recipe. Diana's eyes also filled with tears as she said, "Ten years. Finally... I finally found it."

"Mother, does that mean this recipe is authentic?" Tears kept streaming down Anya's face. She couldn't believe her mother suddenly woke up.

She couldn't believe her wish was granted!

"This recipe ... must be developed again..." Suddenly, Diana looked out of breath.

Anya rushed out to call the doctor.

After being examined by the doctor, Diana's condition finally stabilized.

An hour later, Diana woke up again and saw Anya sitting on the edge of the hospital's bed. She said with a smile, "Anya, don't worry. Mother is fine."

Anya cried like a child and held her mother's hand tightly, "Mother, you can't go anywhere. Anya only has a mother."

"I heard that you are married. When are you going to bring your husband to meet your mother?" Diana asked with a smile.

"Did you hear all my stories?" Anya's face blushed.

Whenever Anya had free time, she always went to the hospital to visit Diana. She would sit on the edge of the bed holding Diana's hand and tell her everything that happened in her life.

"It's hard not to listen to your babbling." Diana held back Anya's hand, "Even though I don't support young marriage, I don't mind if you meet the right guy. I heard that your husband supports you to do whatever you want. Based on that story alone, I think he was a good man."

"Hmm ... Aiden is really good to me." Anya smiled happily.

"Aiden?" Diana's face immediately looked panicked, "Aiden Atmajaya? You married him?"

"Mother? What's wrong?" Anya looked at Diana in confusion.

"Did you borrow money from Aiden? Why did you borrow money from him and what agreement did you make with him?" Diana asked frantically.

"Aiden married me and promised to help with my mother's medical expenses. I used Mother's garden as collateral." Anya answered carefully.

"What!? You used the garden as collateral?" Diana almost fainted. She used all her strength to slap Anya's face, "What are you doing Anya? Do you want to make mom die? Do you know who Aiden is? How dare you marry him?"

Anya held her face which was slapped by her mother. Even though the slap didn't hurt, her heart ached a lot more, "Mother, I know who Aiden is, but I love him and he loves me. I won't get divorced. Mother's garden will be fine too!"

"He loves you? Why do you think he loves you? Ask your father for money to take back Mother's garden and immediately divorce Aiden. Or you will experience the same thing as me ten years ago!" Diana said with great emotion.
