" You, too, lied about this? " This time Ariel held back tears from the unstoppable anger she felt. Actually, he had noticed the tip of the skin on Leo's cheek that was slightly open since Leo finished bathing earlier, and was looking at it with a closer distance, so much so, Ariel became suspicious that it was fake skin and pulled it.
Leo, the man was silent for a while as he helplessly looked into Ariel's eyes which looked extremely angry. You know, Ariel must have been very disappointed, but what else? This lie is also unlikely to be perpetuated forever.
" You can be angry, but listen to all my explanations first. " Lo stared intently. He breathed first. Really nervous, but he was also used to being in a worse situation in the business world, but facing Ariel was really like facing a demon god.
" Ariel, I and my family have been through a terrible tragedy. You know a little too, right? That day was the day I could never forget. My father came with another son named Leonarde, to be honest my mother and I were very shocked and blatantly rejected the child. His age is older than me, that means my father also has other women during marriage with my mother, even my name is also Leonardo is one letter different. We were busy thinking about our anger and hatred, until that night I was upset to leave the house, I wanted to run away to show my anger. I've been quite a long walk, but since I forgot to bring the money, I went back home. You know what I saw? My house is burning very badly, very badly. My mother, my father, and the boy were inside. First my father came out taking Leonarde out with severe burns. My father saw me then, he yelled at me, he said that he loved me no matter what. He asked me to hide, then went inside again to save my mother. The rope unfortunately they both never get out of there. "
Ariel fell silent, wanting to vent her anger brutally, but hearing Leo's story how could she do it?
" I wanted to run and hide as my father told me, but my footsteps stopped as soon as I saw a man in black talking to his phone. He said that everything went according to plan, and Leonardo was very badly injured, so it was likely that he would die. "
Leo sighed, heavy indeed telling the time, but he really wanted to tell Ariel everything so that she understood and hopefully chose to stay with her.
" I stayed hidden, I was sneaking around where my parents' bodies were buried, and Leonarde was in a coma at the time, she was in the hospital. I didn't understand what was going on, why I had to hide, but when I saw the smile of satisfaction from my uncle's face, I was scared even though I knew my uncle couldn't see me at the time. She smiled at my parents' coffin after pretending to be sad before. As time went on I realized something was wrong with my uncle. Until I finally ventured to meet my grandfather. " Lo smiled considering how his grandfather's face was back then.
" He was very surprised, his mouth was completely wide open in disbelief if I stood before him in good health. Of course he was confused, having checked correctly that the comatose child was my father's biological son, but after I told him what I knew he was breathing a sigh of relief, but also feel sorry for Leonarde who was also a victim. For the sake of saving my life, grandfather took Leonarde out of the country for medical reasons, and of course I also left but I was sent first by grandfather. Four years later I came back here, and for the sake of convincing my uncle I acted like a cripple and had burns to make my uncle feel like I was useless and just a loser so he wouldn't feel like I was a threat to him. "
Ariel so can not feel angry anymore, now he instead wants to hug Leo and pat his back slowly because not bear with the sad story he experienced. Ah, but hold it first, anyway she can't just hug.
" Ariel, it's not easy for me to keep this up, so will you forgive me? "
" You, why are you talking so softly? You're usually very thin and like to play vocabulary? Which one are you really? This one, or the one I just met? "
" It depends on who I'm dealing with. "
Ariel breathed out. Depends? Huh! Isn't he very good at talking like a human being? Why not just talk like this before?!
" Ariel, our marriage happened suddenly and very quickly right? All I know is that my future wife isn't really you, so it's important that I find out what your true character looks like. "
" Yes, of course. That's the main reason I'm telling you this. Ariel, I never really wanted to prank you, I just wish you ran away the first day we got married so I wouldn't waste time with people who take me for granted. You're different, Ariel. You're so different, you're not like any other woman, so I trust you and trust you. "
" The other woman you said? So, how many women have you dated before? " Ariel asked with a probing look. It is unexpected, from the length of the story, let alone the story is so dramatic, but Ariel instead just focus on that?
" Why are you quiet? Many huh? You had many lovers before? Heh! I guessed it! Although I don't know what your face looks like, I can be sure that men are handsome, and rich men tend to play with women's hearts. "
Leo sighed.
" Ariel, all these years I've only been acting as a cripple, so where would anyone like me? "
Ariel fell silent again, actually sad to be Leo, not everyone can be him. Putting aside all his disappointment and anger, Ariel hugged Leo, patting his back softly.
" It's all over, now is now, so try your best to be happy. " Said Ariel, but he himself did not necessarily understand exactly what he said. Leo nodded and smiled, well at least the pity from Ariel was now quite favorable to him.
" By the way, I was wondering if all your fake skin was removed. " Ariel was curious.
" You've seen it. "
Ariel frowned confused.
" When? The diaman? You're disguised as one of the guards of this house, aren't you? "
Leo shook his head, then he slowly removed the fake skin taped to his face. Once perfectly open, Ariel could not keep her mouth shut because she was so shocked.
" lao! You're dickhead! " Ariel grabbed a pillow on the sofa she sat on and hit it on Leo's face.
Seriate.
