Rika's Love

Aksa couldn't understand why his parents had been able to hide the secret all this time. Their greed makes everything that Aksa and Bayu have experienced so far feels meaningless.

Rika looked at her son's face which was now increasingly disappointed. While wiping her tears, Rika's mother tried to control her already fragile self.

"It's all up to you son, if you choose not to forgive and accept our apologies. But for the last time I want you to be able to live happily with the partner you love. Because if you don't find your own happiness, we feel even more tormented."

"Then let it happen. I won't bother about it anymore. Because I also want to see you guys calm down and enjoy your old age without being burdened with past mistakes."

Aksa forgives everything. Because for him, just hearing their regrets and sincere apologies made him happy. Rika hugged Aksa again, so moved. A smile on Aksa's lips indicated that he had accepted and forgiven his parents.

"Have you met Hana?" Rika's mother whispered in her ear.

Aksa, let go of his mother's arms.

"Hana, now she...."

"She said he was having a photo shoot here. Haven't you met him yet?"

"Yes, I met, but how did you know that Hana was here?" asked Aksa so surprised by Rika's words who knew very well about Hana.

"Of course I know everything, Irene who keeps telling me about Hana's schedule and progress."

"Oh yeah,

because of you discussed this first, there is something Aksa wants to ask."

"Just ask!"

"About Irene, why did she become Hana's manager?" asked Aksa.

"I ask her to look after and accompany Hana all this time."

"So Mama...."

"Yes, it was I asked Hana to study in LA and do what she wanted. I did it as a form of Mama's request, which had disappointed and hurt Hana."

Aksa was taken aback by his mother's statement.

"Actually Hana asked Mama to keep this a secret from you, but Mama doesn't want any more misunderstandings. I want you to come back with Hana again."

Aksa bit his lip. His mother's statement earlier was the most valuable statement and the one that made him the happiest right now. Namely, his mother supports to return to Hana. He has obtained Bang Agung's blessing, and no support from his mother has also added to his confidence and determination to be able to get back together with Hana.

"But Ma, Irene said

to me that I should not disturb Hana first, because now Hana cannot be approached."

"Yes, it is true."

"So you know that too?" asked Rika.

"Yeah, you still love her, right?" Rika asked.

"My love is getting bigger, Mom."

"Go after her at the right time!" Rika said.

"Does Hana still love me?" Aksa asked as if Rika also knew about Hana's heart.

"I don't know either, I hope she still loves you."

"What if Hana is ..."

"Go after her like you first made her fall in love with you!" Rika gave Aksa encouragement.

"Ak-sa!" call Tanu slowly.

Aksa then approached Tanu who was now looking at him with sad eyes.

"You should marry Hana again, but this time your marriage must be legall!" Tanu stammers and is overwhelmed.

"Aksa, we hope that you legally marry Hana. That way you can get all of your papa's insurance money and your papa's assets that he kept for you. Use it for Mahesa Hotel and for you. know about those assets including your Grandmother."

Aksa felt that there was a slight gap in the light from Rika's statement. Like getting an oasis from his journey down the barren road of Hotel Mahesa which is now his responsibility.

"If you have that, you can get a bigger stake than your Grandma, and you can sort out your problems with Mr Zayyed too."

"Mom, how much is my dad's asset?" Aksa doubts that the amount is not equal and not worth the investment and shares as much as Grandma's holding.

"The insurance is worth tens of billions, during his life your dad bought installment premiums and paid for his life insurance and paid it regularly for years. And another valuable asset is a deposit from his inheritance which he keeps in a bank in Singapore. A trusted person of your dad has taken care of all that until the time comes that he can hand over all of your dad's assets to you."

"Who is he?" asked Aksa.

"He's your dad's lawyer who lives in Singapore, and according to your dad's will, he keeps all those assets and will only be handed over when you grow up and get married. That's the content of your dad's will."

Aksa listened to it all feeling amazed and in disbelief. If his father had prepared it for him. Aksa then cried sadly and was touched because his late dad's love was so great.

"Didn't he give any of his assets to you?" asked Aksa not understanding why he was the only one who got it.

"It doesn't matter, it's all for you and I don't expect anything. In this age, i was so happy with someone that I loved," Rika said while holding Tanu's hand.

Aksa was so moved to see their love was so big and deep. Aksa wants to love like that too. It's hard to be happy together until old age. Can he get that big and sincere love until he is old?

"Hana, where are you. I miss you so much right now."
