Aira's Choice Man

Eps 20's

It's past 8pm and Aira hasn't seen Airez yet. Airez also skipped dinner on his first day after returning home. Aira wondered what Airez was doing at the company today. Did he really curse the branch director? Airez is a bit crazy sometimes, he thought.

Aira's phone rang, displaying Erigo's name on the screen. His mood changed immediately. He smiled before lifting it up. "Hello" he said cheerfully.

I heard a little laugh on the other end of the phone. "You're that happy?" Ask Erigo.

It seemed like Aira's delight was reflected by her voice. "What sounds?" Ask. "I'm happy even just by looking at your name on the screen" Aira admitted.

"I'm glad to hear that. I'm so worried because Winne said you were forcibly picked up by your parents, and your phone couldn't be reached" Erigo said.

Aira shrugged her shoulders. "They're not forcing. It's just that I'm too afraid to argue" Aira said making Erigo laugh. "They told me to turn off my phone so I wouldn't read those comments." Aira replied sadly.

"Don't read it, but turn on your phone so I can call you. I'll be short of breath if I don't talk to you" Erigo chuckled.

Aira laughing. "You're ridiculous. Alright. Where are you at? Did what?"

"I'm in the recording studio and I miss you so much Aira." Said slowly. "It is very difficult even just to go to the mini market, especially to meet you" Erigo said again.

"I know" replied Aira. He missed Erigo too.

"Is that my sister?" Ask someone behind Erigo.

Aira recognized the heavy voice. That's Airez. Aira looked surprised. What's Airez doing in Erigo's place?

"Aira, we'll talk later." Erigo said and disconnected the connection.

Aira stood up in panic, she paced around her bed, trying to think what she should do. He quickly dialed Airez's phone number.

"What are you doing there?" Fizz Aira. "Stay away from him, Airez" he said in a threatening tone.

"I haven't done anything to her and you've been scared, sister" said Airez lazily.

"Yes already.. There's something we need to talk about" he said again and disconnected.

Aira gritting her teeth held back the anger and panic that increased her adrenaline. "What is it about all the men who disconnect the phone while someone else is talking?!" Frustrated speech.

This time Aira dialed Winne's phone number.

"Ananthas. Help me" he said in a hurry.

Two women ran up the stairs up to the third floor because Aira did not want to bother waiting for the elevator to come down from the tenth floor, while Winne complained behind her because she was tired.

"Damn you Maretha" he said gasping.

Arriving at the third floor, Aira rushed in and opened all the doors she encountered along the corridor. His head could no longer think where the proper recording studio was.

When she finally opened the right door, Aira stormed in and pulled Airez's collar sitting on the studio couch without looking around.

"Damn you Airez, what did you do to him?" Said Aira blindly.

Airez hugged his sister and laughed loudly. "Do you really like it?" Amusedly. Airez turned Aira's body towards the recording room. He pointed towards the silent Erigo.

"Your adored man is groping there, my dear sister" he whispered in Aira's ear.

Aira was sitting limp on the sofa, exhaling, overwhelming relief. His headache evaporated, changing thirst.

Erigo did not understand what was happening to the two brothers in front of him. But seeing Aira sitting down, he immediately ran out.

"Well?!" Her speech gently approached Aira. He sat on his knees in front of Aira, clasping his fingers.

Erigo looked down to find his woman's face. He could feel Aira's trembling hands.

Winne pushes Airez's chest. "Your flirting is not very funny Zuma" he said angrily. But he kept one arm around Airez's waist and Airez laughed.

Airez sent everyone in the recording studio home, considering Erigo may not be continuing with the recording tonight.

"My ear goes home Anantha. I've seen enough of them too. Tomorrow I have a lot of agenda, and now I'm so tired." He said again and they left Erigo and Aira.

Erigo loosened his embrace, sat down beside Aira and lifted Aira's wet face. He wiped away Aira's tears with his palm.

"Don't cry Aira" she said softly. "Tell me, what happened?" Ask Erigo.

Aira tried hard to calm herself. He was very upset with Airez. Aira was eager to punch him, grab him or scratch him, whatever it was. He was afraid that Airez would actually punch Erigo, break his nose and damage his handsome face.

"He didn't hurt me, baby. Just saying a few things and__yah a little threatening, if I may say. He asked me__" Erigo chuckled. "He commanded me to take care of you, otherwise he would destroy me. That's how it is."

Erigo smiled looking at Aira's face. His long eyelashes were now wet with tears. Her tiny nose was now flushed at the end. Then her lips___lips were perfect. Tease Erigo to kiss her. Erigo looked down for Aira's lips. When he found it, he lingered there. Let go of all the thoughts that burden him, let go of all the longings that he has endured. Kissing Aira made her feel like she didn't want to go from there to any moment.

Erigo pulled Aira's waist, lifted the little girl into her lap, tightened her body, kissed her slowly, then quickly, then quietly again. Dunking her fingers between Aira's thick and long hair, holding Aira's head there. Erigo doesn't want to let Aira go. While Aira put her hand on Erigo's neck.

Erigo's kiss is intoxicating. Aira was looking for her common sense. She never kissed anyone, Erigo was the first and only one that made her want to get out of control. Erigo's kiss was a palanquin to him. He wants to withdraw, but still wants later and later and later again, until then Erigo who ends slowly.

Erigo's eyes darkened, his jaw hardened, again. His control is almost gone. The woman he had missed for days was now here, in his arms, dancing on his lips, making him drunk. Heart's racing. His head throbbed to the feet. His logic was at war with his desires.

She could have done something more than kiss on Aira, but she chose to keep her lover. Including of himself.

"You okay?" Tanya Aira looked at Erigo's expression that looked frustrated. .

Erigo stroked Aira's back. "I almost died because of you Aira" he said hoarsely.

"I thought so, too, because Airez said he was going to punch the guy who kissed me" she said.

Erigo chuckles. That's not what he meant. But yeah, that's it. He was happy to see how much Aira cared about him. Somehow the girl ran away from her house and looked for her, even clutching her brother's collar. Now, this incident just seemed funny to him.

There were many obstacles in front of him. Airez may have been through it. Frans Maxim Zuma, Aira's father. As the founder of the Mouse Entertainment Agency, it would certainly not be easy for a person like Frans to hand over his precious daughter to Erigo. His image as an agency playboy is now suffocating himself.

Erigo slowly lowered Aira from his lap, kissed Aira's cheek at a glance and said gently. "So tell me Aira, who are you?" Ask.

It wasn't that Erigo hadn't heard it from Airez, he was even surprised earlier. It was just that he wanted to hear directly from Aira.

Aira smile. "My name is Aira Martha Zuma. My brother is the possessive man you met earlier. And my father, Frans Maxim Zuma is even more possessive than that." Said Aira shrugging her shoulders.

"I don't want to scare you." Aira smiled ignorantly.

Erigo smiled listening to Aira's explanation. "You're really Frans Maxim Zuma's son." Erigo nodded. "Then how can you work as a stylist?" Ask.

Aira shrugged her shoulders. "The fashion world is what I love the most, so I learned it on the sidelines of my formal education." Aira.

"I begged Dad that I could work without the shadow of his name. And he agreed for only 1 year. But not for a year, I've been making trouble" he said again.

"Do you regret having a relationship with me?" Ask Erigo.

Aira straightened her seat. "No. I didn't say that" she answered in a panic.

Erigo laughs. "I know. If you're sorry, you might never see me again" Erigo said. Erigo took a pinch of hair and tucked it behind Aira's ear. The ears are good, erigo thought.

"Do you know what Airez plans to do tomorrow?"  Ask.

Aira looked at Erigo. "No, I don't know"

Erigo smiled. "Tomorrow you'll know. For now, I'll take you home" he said, stealing a quick kiss on Aira's lips.
