Chapter 496 - Goodbye

Nico racked his brain. Why did Raka suddenly take time off?

Was it because of the problem that befell Anya that Raka needed time alone to calm down?

But how could Raka go around when the office was busy, and when he didn't have that kind of freedom? This was so unfair!

In the end, Nico could only conclude that Raka's father was very kind.

Meanwhile, he was very unlucky. Before he graduated, his father was dead. After that, it was his uncle who replaced his father.

Although his uncle was very intelligent and extraordinary, he had unique traits and was difficult to work with.

Nico could only let out a tired sigh and then returned to his office. But suddenly, he received a call from Aiden.

"Anya has been discharged from the hospital together with Raka. Do you know where they went?" Aiden asked as soon as Nico picked up the phone, without waiting for him to say hello.

"Huh?" Nico was momentarily stunned. "What do you mean they go together?"

"Where did they go?" Aiden asked impatiently.

"Just now, Raka sent the location to me. He's on his way to the airport," Nico said.

"Are you sure Raka is heading to the airport?" Aiden could already guess what Raka wanted to do.

Meanwhile, Nico just realized why Raka suddenly showed off his vacation to him. "Uncle, I think Raka wanted to tell me that he is taking Anya to the airport and he wants me to tell you."

"You idiot," Aiden said.

"Sorry, uncle. I didn't notice. I just realized it now. Uncle, hurry and go to the airport so you can see auntie," Nico insisted.

"This is my business, it's none of your concern," Aiden immediately hung up the call without waiting for Nico's reply.

The man put his cell phone on the table as he considered it.

He sat at his office chair, not knowing if he should go to the airport to see Anya one last time.

Would his arrival make Anya angry?

Would his arrival make Anya sad?

Or maybe Anya also wanted the same thing as him? Meeting for the last time?

Aiden knew Anya really hated him right now. Anya loved their child so much that she hid her admission to her dream academy. All that for their child, and for Aiden too.

After thinking for a moment, Aiden immediately took his car's key and walked out of his office, walking toward the elevator.

If he couldn't hold on to Anya, at least he wanted to take her and see her for the last time.

He wanted to see Anya one last time. He didn't want to regret this for the rest of his life ...

...

—At the airport.

Anya sat on a chair as some people unloaded their luggages from the car.

Back at this place, Anya was reminded of her old memories. Once, she took Aiden when he was about to go abroad. They waited in the waiting room together while looking up at the night sky.

That day, they talked a lot. Anya might not be able to remember what they talked about that day, but she remembered how happy she was to be with Aiden.

It's that simple…

Once she passed the inspection and entered the waiting room, she wouldn't be able to see the person escorting her. While waiting for the inspection queue, Anya subconsciously looked back, as if she was waiting for someone.

She knew Aiden wouldn't come, but why was she still hopeful?

"Do you want to eat first?" Raka could see hope in Anya's eyes. He just got a message from Nico, saying that Aiden was on his way.

Anya lowered her head and chided herself for being too naive, still thinking about past memories.

Aiden wouldn't come.

The current Aiden was not the old Aiden.

The current Aiden wasn't the same old Aiden who loved her…

"We can eat in the waiting room. Let's just go in," Anya replied in a low voice.

Raka was silent for a moment when he heard Anya's answer. Then, he racked his brain and looked for a way to keep them from entering first.

"Anya, Nico left the stuff and asked me to give it to his friend in France. He's on his way here. Can we wait just a moment?" Raka was too kind. He wanted Anya and Aiden to meet one last time so he helped them.

"Nico or Aiden?" Anya asked.

"Nico," Raka replied firmly.

"I will accompany you," Anya immediately felt relieved when she heard Raka's firm answer.

She didn't have any problem with Nico. All of this was not Nico's fault. Nico didn't know anything and he didn't do anything. Anya must not punish him for what others had done to her.

They waited a long time, but Aiden didn't come until the airport announcement announced their board number and asked passengers to enter immediately.

Raka could only surrender and took a deep breath, "Ugh, Nico sucks. He can't be expected. Maybe he got stuck in a traffic jam. Let's go. We can't wait any longer."

They walked slowly towards their gate, not in a hurry as they were first class passengers and would be entering the plane later.

After getting into the plane and sitting in his chair, Raka's cell phone suddenly rang. He received a message containing a photo of Aiden with two words listed under it.

'Thank you!'

When he saw the photo, Raka's feelings were mixed.

It turned out that Aiden had arrived at the airport, but he decided not to come face to face with them.

Aiden sent Anya's picture that he had taken earlier. The photo was taken right from the front corner, without Anya's knowledge.

Raka didn't know how Aiden could trick their eyes and still managed to take a very clear photo of Anya's face.

Raka didn't know how long it took Aiden to arrive at the airport, nor how long the man had been observing them from a distance.

Meanwhile, Raka knew that the person Anya hoped to see for the last time wasn't Nico, but Aiden. If not, why would she be willing to wait together with Raka?

If Anya wanted, she could go in first and wait in the waiting room. But just like Aiden, Anya also wanted to see Aiden one last time.

Raka: "Anya is waiting for you. Why don't you want to meet her?"

Aiden: "I was afraid I would make her cry. And I'm afraid I won't be able to let her go. I wish you a safe trip."

Raka: "Aiden, you really are a coward. If you really didn't want to, why did you just let her go?"

Aiden didn't answer. He sat in his car in the parking lot, he then opened the roof of his car and looked up at the sky above.

At the same time, Anya sat by the window, looking at the sky outside the plane's window.

This was the first time she had gone abroad.

This was the first time she had left Indonesia.

But Anya didn't know when she would come back again.

Maybe two years or three years. Or maybe she'd never come back…

"Does Aiden know I'm leaving today?" Anya suddenly asked.

"What?" Raka was surprised to hear Anya's question. "You don't want me to call him earlier..."

"Nico knew I was going to go. Aiden should've known too," Anya muttered.

"Do you want Aiden to send you one last time?" Raka asked.

"I don't want to see him," Anya leaned back in her chair and sent a message to her mother.

Anya: "Mom, I'm already on my plane. We will meet soon in India."

It didn't take long for Diana to answer right away.

Diana: "I'll be waiting for you to have dinner together. Be careful."

Anya rarely opened her social media. This time, she uploaded a photo. A photo of the sky that looked very clear that day.

'Goodbye, Indonesia!''

Aiden saw the photo. Anya was saying goodbye to him.

While looking at the photo, Aiden muttered softly, "Goodbye, Anya..."
