Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

Everyone seemed to be waiting for the answer.

"I'll take care of it," Harry's words making everyone's mind full of question marks.

Harry gave no further explanation. And just stood up and asked everyone to go home soon because Cleo had to rest a lot.

Everyone was going home in all kinds of feelings. Started from being disappointed because their visit was only short, to be anxious and worried about Cleo in various ways.

Harry's team actually felt that they had visited enough because they still had to complete their respective tasks. Harry had also given them the task of what to do with Martha.

So before they went home, Harry had time to discuss briefly with all his team, including Dirga. Harry then divided the tasks.

"For Luan, you as usual keep a close eye on everyone's movements as well as Aretta. Don't let her out of your sight no matter what. Arthur, you better go take care of those two brats and let me know the results later."

Harry then turned to look at Reihan and Alfin.

"You guys keep Robby's problems until it's over, and don't let him see any loopholes!"

"Then the last one, you Dirga..."

Dirga reflexively immediately responded.

"Yes sir!"

"You just keep doing office business. Because I seem to be reducing my duties in the office for a while until things get back to normal. And then, ask me directly if you have any problems."

Dirga immediately nodded in understanding and was ready to rush off.

Harry added Arthur and Alfin's tasks.

"Send me an extra bodyguard. If necessary ten or twenty people at once. I don't want to be half-hearted,"

Arthur and Alfin immediately looked at each other in unison and shook their heads.

No one wanted to argue. Because they already knew. If Harry had willed and gave orders. So no one can change his decision.

Finished giving everyone the task and return to Cleo's treatment room. Harry had found Cleo walking up from her bed and standing in front of the window. Harry then asked her.

"What do you do there?" Harry asked while walking towards her.

Cleo turned to him while lowering the curtain slightly.

"Nothing. It's just fun to see your family walking in the parking lot. Because they seem to care so much about me. I feel bad for them even more," Cleo said quietly, making Harry look at her in surprise.

"Why did you say that?" he asked and not understanding. Then gave her a small blanket to warm her.

Cleo then thanked him and answered.

"I just hope that until the end they don't know that our marriage was a fake. Still think of me as part of their family…"

Cleo suddenly stopped her speech and made a correction.

"Erm... I mean, I know my position. But seeing your family, which seems so warm. I feel sorry to let it go. I don't know when can I meet people like them again," said Cleo honestly and seriously.

Harry certainly understood very well what Cleo really meant. Because he had learned a lot to be able to understand her over time. Harry's family certainly gave Cleo the warmth she had wanted all these times because she had lived alone for so long.

Even though she had an uncle who had been with her since her parents died, they weren't close enough and cared for each other like family. That's why Harry's family became so beautiful in her eyes.

Harry would be willing to give a family like this for her if only Cleo.

Just wanted to say that Cleo could be her real family if they broke the contract and got married for real. Cleo was already looking at Harry with her big, clear eyes.

"You said earlier, the hospital doctor wanted to talk to me and do some counseling. Is now the time?" Cleo asked with a smile and just accepted the rules set by the hospital.

Harry then reminded Cleo again.

"I told you if you mind, you can decline. I'm not going to force."

Cleo quickly shook her head. Then grabbed Harry's hand to prepare to lead her out.

"It does not matter. I'm ready. It just so happened that I wanted to heal my trauma too. Even though the trauma didn't really have a big impact on my daily life. But there's nothing wrong if I try. Didn't you say you would accompany me?" asked Cleo while deliberately showing a series of wide smiles.

Harry had been hypnotized. Not only because of a series of smiles that reassured him but because it showed that Cleo's condition was now much better. Harry was also taken aback by Cleo's outstretched hand which took his hand first.

Until Harry subconsciously continued to stare at the interlocked hands for a long time. Cleo was already looking at him in surprise and then asked.

"Why? Is it canceled?" asked Cleo who was even more excited than Harry who was dumbfounded.

Harry shook his head.

"Nothing. Come on!" asked Harry.

They then walked out and went to see Doctor Angga. Guidance and counseling also ran smoothly without too significant obstacles. But it couldn't be helped that Harry was impressed enough by the full story until the side effects of Cleo's problem weren't treated immediately.

Doctor Angga then ordered Cleo to come to see him at least once a week for counseling.

Harry agreed without asking Cleo again. Thought the same as the doctor that this guidance was important for healing Cleo's illness and Cleo's headache if should such an incident occurred.

Cleo of course also wanted a completely recovered just as Harry wanted.

Harry accompanied Cleo home after their counseling ended and they had been allowed to leave the hospital to rest at home.

In the middle of the trip, Harry suddenly remembered something and immediately turned to Cleo.

"There's something that I'm still curious about," Harry asked as he looked at Cleo in the eye and was stared back.

"Curious about what?" she asked.

"About what happened to your female best friend. Did you bump into her and she admitted that she was wrong? Or was she getting more and more shameless and kept harassing you?" asked Harry who was starting to think about the possibility of Cleo being bothered again because her friend's plan failed.

Cleo thought for a moment before answering.

"I don't know," said Cleo, making Harry looked at her in surprise. Cleo then resumed her words reluctantly.

Cleo then cast her gaze to the other side.

"I can't really know what happened to her. Because I quit school after that incident. I don't know and I don't want to know."

Harry then frowned hard.

"What does it mean? Why did you have to drop out of school because of that incident? You chose yourself to withdraw from there?" asked Harry with a series of curiosity and desire to find out.

Cleo then bit her lip nervously as the problems in her past continued to be picked up. Harry who noticed it immediately said.

"Don't feel burdened. Just tell me what's bothering you. I won't say anything bad," he added, trying not to be a burden.

Cleo finally couldn't help but answer.

"After that incident, I was bullied," said Cleo quietly.

Harry focused more and more on listening.

"You were bullied? But why?" Harry asked cluelessly. Cleo then completed her words.

"Everyone who knew what happened at the time thought that I had been completely abused and thought I was dirty. That's why they kept gossiping about me behind my back, even though the teachers have told them that I'm fine and well. None of the students believed. That's why I fell into acute depression as a result of that incident. I then decided to drop out of school and moved after half a year of overcoming my depression."

Cleo then glanced at Harry.

"Does this answer your curiosity?" asked Cleo with all the feelings of relief. Because this was the first time that Cleo had told anyone about this matter.

Uncle and even her closest people never knew about this matter. So after that incident, Cleo started to not really like being around other people especially if they really wanted to be close to her.

Cleo was just trying to be neutral with everyone. Didn't want to expect a serious relationship with anyone. Cleo had been quite a at peace in her way.

But that statement made Harry mumble, and Cleo heard the voice faintly.

"That's why this thing answered my question all this time? No wonder you find it difficult to accept other people's helping hands and even their feelings," said Harry quietly.

Cleo looked at him confused. And asked cluelessly.

"What do you mean?" She asked with a serious look.

Harry asked Cleo to ignore him by saying, "Forget it,"

It actually made Cleo ask again enthusiastically.

"Why do you like to mumble something incoherently?" Cleo's words made Harry shudder at her with a stifled expression.

Harry looked at her seriously.

"Are you kidding?" Harry quipped. Cleo then just shook her head.

Harry chuckled. He patted his head lightly and held back his annoyance because Cleo was acting stupid again.

They then discussed another matter.

"Then what are you going to do with Martha and Aretta. Have you thought about it?" Cleo asked as she looked at Harry.

Harry, who initially had averted his gaze, looked back at Cleo.

"Who knows. We'll see," said Harry in a serious tone.

Cleo then didn't bring up the matter again. Not because she wasn't too curious or didn't want to find out. But because she was very tired of thinking about many things today.
