Chapter 111 - Background
"Are you taking a shower?"
Anya's face turned red when she found out where her cell phone's camera was aimed. She immediately raised her cellphone and faced it towards the ceiling of the room.
"W-… did you see it?" Anya asked in panic.
"I heard the sound of water." Aiden replied calmly.
Anya immediately felt embarrassed for thinking nonsense. Of course Aiden would hear the sound of water gurgling. What's more, the man's hearing got sharper after losing his sight.
"You can't see, why are you making video calls?" Anya asked.
"I want to show you where I stay." Aiden brought his cell phone to the window, "The atmosphere is very beautiful here. One day, I'll take you on vacation in this place."
Anya looked at Aiden from the camera with a smile. Today, Aiden was wearing a white shirt and standing by the window. Outside the window, a stretch of blue sea was visible. The screams of the seagulls and the sound of the waves hitting the rocks were clear.
All of this made Anya feel calm.
Aiden looked happy. A warm smile spread across his face.
"Do you stay in a hotel?" Anya asked.
"No, this is one of my villas." Aiden chuckled.
Anya smiled seeing Aiden's good mood, "The view is very good. Looks like you are in a very good mood today."
"Hmm ... I have an appointment to see a doctor today." Aiden said calmly.
Anya had guessed it, but she didn't dare ask his whereabouts for Aiden's safety. She did not want the previous incident to happen again. She didn't want anything to happen to Aiden or his doctor.
The last time Aiden went for treatment, his doctor was suddenly murdered. Aiden's drug was also sabotaged by someone. The man didn't know who did all this, but Anya must also be careful. Therefore, she did not ask any questions about Aiden's purpose for going abroad.
As long as Aiden could go home safely, that's all that mattered to her.
"Aiden, the less people know your activities, the safer it will be." Anya said.
"I didn't tell anyone. I'm just telling you. I'll see the doctor soon. Is there anything you want to say to me?" Aiden asked.
Anya muttered the words with a serious face, "Aiden, no matter what your examination results are, I will always be with you. I wish you all the best!"
"Hmm… Don't soak for too long. If you pass out, no one will be able to save you." Aiden replied jokingly.
Anya chuckled to hear that, "Okay, I'll come out."
After their call, Aiden immediately checked the news on the internet. After Raka distributed the video of his apology, he also distributed the video of his sister Raisa showing her regret for Anya.
Harris acted very quickly and spread the video more widely. He wanted everyone to know that Raisa, the daughter of the Mahendra Family, had slandered and defamed Anya in public.
At first, Raka returned to Indonesia secretly. The purpose of his return was so that he could take over the family company. However, he had to appear to the public's eyes because of his younger sister.
Photos of Raisa being arrested by the police had circulated on the internet. Raisa was such a proud girl that she was not only in trouble with Anya.
The people who had been hurt by her didn't dare to fight back seeing Raisa's family background. However, this was the perfect opportunity to reveal the crime she had committed.
Every news that involved Raisa always got thousands of comments.
'She said, Raisa Mahendra fell in love with Aiden Atmajaya. My aunt's friend worked at the Mahendra Family's house and cleaned the room. She saw Aiden Atmajaya's photo displayed on the wall of her room.'
'No wonder she slandered Anya in public. It turned out that she was just jealous of Aiden's lover.'
'Aiden's eyes are blind, but his heart is not. How could he choose a bad-hearted Raisa like that.'
'Anya is much prettier than Raisa, and of course much smarter. She said she got a scholarship when she entered college. How could Aiden choose Raisa over Anya.'
'I believe Anya is not a woman like that. Even if what Raisa said is true, I will still support her. I have never seen a woman who struggled so hard like Anya. She's amazing.'
….
Many people also shared Raisa's dirty deeds and bad personality, saying that she was an arrogant, cunning and self-absorbed girl. More and more people said that they were also bullied by Raisa.
Positive comments for Anya were also growing. The comments came from people who knew her. Her boss and co-workers at her part-time workplace, classmates and teachers also defended her.
Everything was going in the right direction, but no one expected that someone would reveal Anya's background.
At first, everyone thought that Anya was a good and hardworking student, however, because of this one news circulating, she was considered a vengeful woman.
An anonymous blog revealed a story: "Diana Hutama, a prominent parfumeur and founder of Amore is Anya's real mother. Deny Tedjasukmana, the president of the Tedjasukmana Group is her father!"
After this blog appeared, many people began to turn to attack Anya.
'Anya is Deny's daughter. So she is Natali's sister!'
'Aiden should be Anya's future brother-in-law. But now that she's with Aiden, is she planning to take revenge on the Tedjasukmana Family?'
'The current Madame Tedjasukmana used to continue to approach Deny very aggressively, and drove Diana away. I heard that after their divorce, Diana and Anya lived in poverty. Surely this is Anya's revenge against the Tedjasukmana Family so that she becomes the third person between Aiden and Natali.'
'This is revenge. At that time, Mrs. Tedjasukmana kicked Diana out, now it's Anya's turn to kick Natali out.'
'Too bad, Natali has to endure what her mother has done.'
'Anya was smart and beautiful, but sadly she fell into deep hatred. She is even willing to be in the third person and be with a man she doesn't love just for revenge.'
'Poor Natali. She is a gentle woman and doesn't do anything wrong. But Anya instead grabbed her fiancé and was mistreated in public. She was even thrown away by Aiden. Who wants to marry her later?'
Everyone kept commenting, cornering Anya. It even concerned Raka, who was Anya's ex-lover.
Raka apologized in Raisa's place to clear Anya's good name. The man was willing to make sacrifices so that he got a good reputation for everyone.
Everyone thought Natali and Raka were two good people who got hurt.
Plus, their families were also close. Raisa and Natali were also best friends. Everyone even started making arrangements for Natali and Raka to become lovers.
Meanwhile, they all thought of Aiden as a fool. For Anya's sake, Aiden was willing to cancel his engagement to Natali and humiliate her. All of that only for the sake of a woman who wanted revenge.
But no one dared to publicly insult Aiden because they all knew what Aiden could do. Unfortunately, Anya wasn't that lucky…
Everyone insulted her, saying that her heart had been covered in a vengeful mist. She had neglected Raka and his family's kindness. Even stepping as low as becoming the third person to interfere with her sister's relationship and seduce her future in-law.
Anya became everyone's laughing stock. They couldn't believe that a woman like her became the most beautiful and smartest woman on campus. How ridiculous ...
