The journey to the office was covered in silence. Neither Nara nor Arion, no one would open their voices.
Both of them held back after the presuppositions that occurred this morning.
"Please don't misunderstand me. Last night, we didn't do anything."
Finally after their car stopped in the basement, Arion immediately opened his voice.
Nara bit her lips, felt bad too because she had accused Arion of nothing. Actually it's just a form of excessive worry.
"I'm afraid, because I have past traumas." Nara chose to be honest, hoping that the two of them could understand each other.
"I fell asleep in your bed, not on purpose. It's really because you keep delirious about calling Mom, and.... Mister." Arion paused his last sentence.
Nara's attention was immediately diverted, she turned her head with tears ready to spill.
"Mother killed Father, because... "
The sentence was hanging, Nara lowered her head and came back crying.
"Your stepfather did it...." Arion was hesitant to suspect, worried about the sentence that later could make Nara hurt again.
"Almost." Nara then nodded, confirming that Arion's conjecture was not wrong. The man immediately let out a long breath. He rubbed Nara's head.
"Everything's gone, you were born to be a great woman." The words just came out, but he was not as good as they thought he was. Arion is still trapped in past trauma.
But it shouldn't drag on.
"Sorry." Nara quickly wiped away her tears. "Today I cried too much."
Hurry him out of the car, considering the many files that must be done in his room.
Arion came following, equalizing his pace. "Our room is the same direction, let's go together."
Arion's hand suddenly coiled on Nara's shoulder, as the shorter woman looked up and tried to dodge.
"Don't come near. Later employees suspect bad things on us." Nara shifted the distance, and the embrace slipped off.
Crepe!!
Arion held Nara's wrist. Stopping their steps right in front of the elevator door.
"Why should you care? they also know we live together and take care of the baby."
Now they face each other.
"I'm wearing jasmine perfume, Mister. Don't come near because Mister can... "
OH!!!!!!
Nara's sentence was cut because Arion had sneezed first.
"It's not my fault.." Nara sneaks into the elevator after the door rings open.
"Why should the smell of jasmine?? just get goosebumps?" Arion's grouse as it follows Nara into the elevator.
"Sorry!" Nara widened her laughter.
Hat!!!!
Hatc!!!
Hatcciihh!!!
...----------------...
"What news is important, until you break into someone's house early in the morning?"
Arion asks Kevin to come face to his study. He is still very furious because Kevin just left after spreading the untrue news in front of Nara.
"It's not really an office affair, which is why I want to talk about it at home. But I caught you both..."
"Say!" Arion cut out Kevin's sentence that had spread everywhere.
"Okay, okay." Kevin is back seriously if Arion has started showing both horns. "The court still cannot pass the Edsel adoption papers. The check you gave me was rejected outright and I actually got the threat of reporting bribes."
Arion pulled away, leaning back in his chair. Pressing his nose slowly.
"Do you think I should release Edsel?? left it in the parlor?"
"If you want, I'll find an orphanage of good quality. Then you can be a donor there so that the welfare of Edsel is also guaranteed."
It is still difficult to let go of the baby, although at first the presence of Edsel is not desired at all. But when looking at her adorable growth every day. Will make Arion hesitant to part with the baby.
"I'll let you know later, please get back to work."
...----------------...
"Nara, there's important news for you."
Returning from Arion's room, Kevin immediately spoke to Nara who had been focusing on her monitor.
"Why? what was? want to buy some more food??" Nara is excited about lunchtime.
"No, it's more important than just eating."
Kevin's face was very convincing, Nara listened to her interlocutor and left her job for a moment.
"What is it?"
"Edsel will be handed over to the orphanage, because his adoption papers did not pass. You can be free now, no longer tired of taking care of the baby and have to stay with Mister."
Kevin often heard Nara complaining about the density of his work schedule at the office and at home. Arion and Nara also often argue about taking care of the baby. So it would not be wrong if Kevin thought this would be happy news for Nara, because the woman would return to her nature. Free to do anything outside of work hours.
"Mister has decided?? let's Edsel go??"
"Yes, I'll be the one looking for the best parlour for that baby."
Nara got up from her seat, ignoring Kevin who was still talking.
"Where are you going??" ask Kevin.
Nara looked away, her footsteps rushing towards Arion's study.
Brak!!
Nara pushed the door a little rough without excuse. It didn't matter that there were guests talking to Arion.
"Hey! disrespectful, you don't know manners?" Yeri glared dislikely as their chatter was interrupted.
Arion stood up and drew closer to Nara, as did Yeri who put on an angry face as if wanting to grab Nara's unraveling hair.
"Sister, teach your employees a lesson. How to act." Omel Yeri pulls up Arion's shirt sleeve.
Arion brushed off Yeri's hand, asking to be silent with the code of her palm.
"What's wrong? why don't you knock on the door first." That flat intonation was heard from the cleavage of the pink plum lips belonging to the tall man who was staring at Nara sharply.
"Let Edsel be with us. I will sign the marriage certificate" Nara said without hesitation.
Hearing Nara's clear sentence, again invited Yeri's emotions that were increasingly wrestling in her heart.
"What marriage? you guys getting married?" Yeri comes to attack Nara, pulling the collar of the shirt with her brassiere. "Your dream is yes, marry Arion!!!" His impact.
Nara threw Yeri's hand no less rude. Then pushed his chest until it almost fell.
"Mister who wants to marry me." Nara answered confidently, actually she was just trying to save herself from bullying the thin woman in front of her. Yeri does look annoying. Always meddling in Nara's affairs.
"Originally you know. That Brother Arion still loves Syera, they already have children."
"Shut up!!!" Bentak Arion. "Get out of my room, Yeri."
Nara shifted also gave way to Yeri.
"Sir Arion, why should I marry Nara?? is it because of the baby?" Yeri is still interfering.
"I said get out, it's none of your business." Get rid of Arion again.
Angrily Yeri clenched her feet on the floor and left just like that.
"Are you sure you're gonna do a contract marriage with me for Edsel??" Now Arion is coming to Nara.
"It's not just for Edsel. But for Mom's sake. Keep your promise to get Mom out of jail if I agree."
"Okay, Deal!!"
