Chapter 628 - Begging For Love

One week later, Aiden was allowed to go home from the hospital because his condition was getting better. He no longer needed to use a wheelchair after undergoing therapy.

Anya had come home first from the hospital since her fever had gone down. She was just too tired and couldn't sleep well because she didn't have Aiden beside her. After one day in the hospital, her condition had recovered.

Plus, Aiden was already awake from his coma. The happy news certainly made Anya's spirit to recover even stronger.

Every day, Diana came to deliver the fresh vegetables she grew for Anya and Aiden. She also accompanied Anya every day because she was worried about her daughter's condition.

Not only Diana, Tara, Nico, Harris and Nadine also came to visit every day. They came for breakfast and dinner together with Anya. They even came for lunch every weekend. Anya and Aiden's house felt like a hall for a party every day.

There was no more loneliness. Their family always visited them in their house to chat or eat together.

It seemed like Anya's happiness was complete, she finally had the people she loved close to her.

Every day was very sweet with all the family members. Her life would be more perfect when she welcomed her twins to the world later. Anya and Aiden couldn't wait for that day.

…

Tonight, Nico made up his mind to propose to Tara.

He had planned this proposal for a long time, but it never happened because of what happened to his family.

Now, his entire family was gathered at the place and Nico felt that this was the right time to propose to her officially.

Harris and Nadine helped him prepare for this, starting from photographers, decorations, to fireworks and so on. Aiden and Anya would be the witnesses for them. To make the atmosphere more lively, he also invited Raka, Jonathan, Ivan and Raisa.

Nico told Tara that today was a party to celebrate Aiden's recovery so that his plan wouldn't get exposed. But Anya could see Nico so nervous that he couldn't focus during dinner.

Sometimes he would shake his legs to reduce his nervousness. Sometimes he glanced at Tara anxiously, as if trying to make up his mind.

Would Tara accept him? What if Tara refused?

Seeing Nico's unusual behavior, Anya felt like laughing.

In Aiden's garden, Nico finally knelt before Tara with a ring box in his hand. "Tara, marry me!"

Fireworks bloomed in the air, just as the proposal was made.

Tara paused in her place, not expecting that Nico would propose to her that very day. After being silent for a while, she turned around and was about to leave in a panic. However, Anya immediately stopped her.

"Tara, where are you going?"

"I am thirsty. I want to drink," Tara looked very panicked. She ran into the house to get drinking water and tried to calm herself down.

Nico froze in place with a look of despair. He was confused about what to do now.

Anya then smiled slightly and patted his shoulder to calm him down. After that, she went into the house to catch up with Tara with her big belly.

"Tara, what's wrong with you?" Anya asked while patting Tara's shoulder.

"I... I'm scared," Tara replied nervously.

Even though she looked very confident, Tara was not actually that brave. She looked like an independent person because she was used to depending on herself. She did not want to depend on other people for fear that others would hurt and disappoint her.

After all that had happened in the Atmajaya Family, of course she felt anxious about her relationship with Nico as well as their future.

Could she run this relationship smoothly?

Could they be happy forever?

What if they separated one day?

What if she had to end up alone again and lost the people she loved?

"Do you know that Nico had intended to propose to you for a long time? Ever since I returned in February and resolved all my misunderstandings with the Atmajaya family, he had always wanted to propose to you and make you his legal wife. But so many things happened that he had no choice but to postpone it. Nico's been waiting for you for more than two years. If it's not love then what is it?" Anya said, "Tell me, what makes you scared?"

"I'm afraid that Nico won't love me anymore someday. I'm afraid that I can't be a good wife for him. I'm afraid of having children. I'm afraid I can't be a good mother. I…"

"Do you love Nico?" Anya interrupted.

The question left Tara speechless. It did not take her long to think because her heart already knew what the answer to that question was. So she nodded slowly.

"Did Nico do something that you didn't like or disappointed you?" Anya asked patiently.

"Nico is very narcissistic. He is lazy and doesn't want to tidy up his things. He couldn't control himself in bed and never gave me time to rest…"

Anya felt embarrassed after hearing that. She did not think Tara would tell such details. She didn't want to hear about her friend's intimate life so she immediately interrupted.

"That means Nico is the same as you. He is normal, he also has faults and weaknesses. He also has his own fear of the future. He doesn't know what the future holds, but he dares to take a step forward to be with you. A wedding is not always about colorful rainbows, but also clouds and rain. At times like that, you can face it together with him," Anya said calmly. "If indeed Nico can make you happy, don't miss this opportunity. If you don't respect his love, maybe another woman will come and make him happy someday… "

Tara clasped her hands tightly. Without realizing it, her hands were sweating from being so nervous. "But I'm afraid. What if I'm not the right woman for him? What if I can't make him happy? I can't help but think that I'm so ugly. My teeth used to be so big and messy. What if Nico finds out my other flaws and doesn't want me anymore?"

She didn't realize that Nico had come into the house.

"I don't care about it all. One thing is for sure, I love you and I will always love you, Tara. You can reject me, but I will always love you."

"You ... Since when did you enter?" Tara stuttered.

Once again, Nico knelt before Tara and proposed to her. He wanted to hear the answer from the woman herself. "Marry me."

Tara panicked when she saw Nico kneel again in front of her. She turned and looked at Anya as if asking for help. "Tara, don't regret your decision. I know you are doubtful and afraid. If you reject Nico, we won't force you. I will ask his mother to arrange a marriage with another woman so that he can get married and stop bothering you soon."

Upon hearing Anya's implicit threat, Tara became even more panicked. She was afraid to marry Nico, but she also didn't want to lose him. She looked at Nico who was still kneeling before her.

"If you can promise me three things, I'll marry you," Tara said with a serious expression.

"Say it," replied Nico.

Seeing Nico's seriousness, Tara began to tell her three conditions. "No matter how busy you are, no matter if you want to go out to meet your friends, you have to come home by 12 at night."

"That early?" Nico was surprised to hear that.

He and Raka often went out together, to discuss work and life, or just to enjoy the atmosphere. They would be drinking at the bar until morning.

But Tara asked him to come home at midnight.

Raka could see Nico's doubt and said, "Nico, it's not like you can't go. You can come home early to keep Tara company."

Nico seemed to be enlightened and immediately agreed. "I promise. What is the second condition?"

"After getting married, I only want to have one child, regardless if it's a boy or a girl," Tara said.

"If I want two kids, we can have twins," Nico replied casually.

Anya wanted to laugh at that answer. He really sounded like his uncle. Aiden used to say the same to her.

And now, Anya was really pregnant with twins!

Tara was annoyed at Nico's answer and really wanted to kick him. "If I can't have twins, don't blame me!"

"I agree. Then what is the third condition?" Nico asked.

"If you cheat on me, all your property and possessions will be mine. Conversely, if I cheat, I will give all my property to you," said Tara.

"It doesn't matter. I will never betray you, Tara. Marry me!" Nico felt his knee cramp even more.

Why should he discuss these terms on his knees? Couldn't they just sit on the sofa discussing it carefully?

Anya nudged Tara's shoulder with a smile, then Tara replied with a smile. After that, she stretched her hand towards Nico.

Meanwhile, Nico was still dumbfounded, not expecting Tara to actually accept his proposal.

"Why are you stunned! Quickly put on the ring!" Raka hit Nico's shoulder while laughing.

Aiden could only shake his head as he witnessed all this. His nephew was completely shameless.

To him, Nico looked like he was cornering Tara, continuing to kneel in front of her and forcing her to accept his proposal. He seemed to be begging for love from Tara.

"What's wrong?" Anya asked her husband.

"Nico is really embarrassing," Aiden whispered.

"What part of him is embarrassing? Nico is very sincere to Tara. Everyone in this room can feel his love for her. Not all people can have a romantic and touching proposal like this," Anya said, as if implying something else.
