Look at me, Mela!

Look at me, Mela!
Chapter 16: Confessing to Mom



"What did you say?" darsen was very surprised.


She opened the news today and there is an article that tells if she is engaged to Laura, her former artist. The article also mentions that Laura and Darsen wear the same ring.


Knowing this, he saw his ring. The ring he thought was a gift from Mela.


"Pras, you take care of this garbage news. I'll take care of Mela and Laura" Darsen said.


Darsen moved from his chair, he came out with a less fit body. He had to go to Mela and wanted an explanation. Everyone he passed by did not dare to greet him. Looking at the sharp eyes of Darsen as if to indicate there will be a disaster in this building.


Here, Mela was sweeping the evaluation room before using it. At the same time, the door opened violently making him very surprised. He saw Darsen approaching him with an angry and wrathful look.


"Who is this ring from?" ask Darsen.


Mela was silent for a moment then both of Darsen's hands gripped Mela's shoulders. He looked at Mela very sharply making the girl very frightened.


"Why shut up? It's from you, isn't it?" shout Darsen.


"That's Laura's sister."


Darsen's eyes were round, he felt smashed to pieces. The ring that he thought of from the person in his tribe was even from the lowly man.


"Sorry, Brother. Laura's sister threatened me." Mela felt very sorry.


Goddamnit! How dare that woman threaten my sister.


Darsen looked at Mela's grimacing face in pain as the grip of the hand on the girl's shoulder instantly removed it. One mistake Darsen made was to make Mela even more afraid of him.


"I'm sorry, brother! We continue to talk later," said Darsen immediately went outside.


Darsen came out with his long steps. This time Laura had to teach her a lesson. It could be that the cursed woman dared to link her name to the media. Moreover, the news about the relationship status of Darsen the owner of Ars Agency.


Because the news of the engagement with a woman who was exposed to the scandal made the agency's shares plummet.


All the staff gathered by Pras to keep responding to this slander positively, he also explained that there was no special relationship between Darsen and Laura.


Darsen meets Laura in her apartment and is certainly not alone. He brings in a lawyer to sue Laura over fake news and libel.


"I shouldn't have accepted you under my agency. You always make trouble until the end" said Darsen.


"Darsen, I'm doing this because ... "


"Enough! Don't say my name with your dirty mouth! We'll get it done legally" Darsen interrupted Laura's remarks.


Darsen got out of the luxury apartment and went down with his lawyer but there were already reporters out there ready to interview him again. Darsen ignored them and got into the car to the hospital where his son was being treated.


**


After reaching the hospital, he met his son who was now allowed to go home. Adi saw him sigh. His only son is always throwing tantrums in the media.


"What is the news ... "


"All just slander, I've got it fixed."


Darsen approached his son who was ready to go home after last night to be treated in the hospital. He carried her and then walked out after finishing the administration. At the same time, Sandra came and immediately kissed Mr. Adi's hand. Darsen didn't rub it, he headed to the car.


"Darsen, I already know your news. Laura is very sneaky" said Sandra who entered Darsen's car.


"Who told you to come in?"


Sandra paid no heed, she sat beside the wheel while holding Velino. Velino also seemed to have no objections to making Darsen no other choice.


Darsen drove his car to follow Mr. Adi's car. They went home and Darsen had to hide from the reporters.


Sandra held Velino while stroking her head making Darsen very unhappy.


"Don't touch my son's head! I don't want him to contract your negative attitude" Darsen said.


"Darsen, I'm sure your son is very willing if I become his mother. You want to, Vel?"


Velino shook his head making Sandra so upset.


Just watch out you little boy. I will make you accept you as your mother. Cih .. but forced, all I want is Darsen. Seeing this boy's face reminded me of the actor's face. Seila Natasha's. Fortunately, he was dead.


Arriving at home.


Bu Ami welcomed his grandson, he immediately carried Velino and invited him to the room. Darsen looked at Sandra who was never leaving. His ex-girlfriend was very he hated because he had put a wound on the recesses of his heart.


"Darsen, why shut up? Tell Sandra to sit down and tell aunt to make her a drink. You still have a lot of work" said Mr. Adi.


Sandra smiled, she looked at Darsen. Darsen turned his face away and ignored Sandra. When Darsen was about to turn around, Sandra suddenly hugged him from behind, making him push the woman.


"Darsen, you used to be very gentle with me but why after knowing Seila did you become like this?" sandra asked with red eyes.


"Save your cry and do not mention the name of my late wife! His name is very sacred for you to call. You better go home, I'm gonna take a break. Please don't make me drag you out!" said Darsen with eyes not kidding.


Sandra clenched her hands, the man who preferred the third person of her relationship used to be very upsetting. But this is not the end of everything, after Seila's death, he must get Darsen back.


Darsen went into the room to see his mother telling a story for her grandson. Darsen smiled, he immediately hugged his mother from behind like a child.


"Sen, your body is so hot. You sick?" ask mother.


"Just tired, Mother. Yesterday at the hospital I couldn't sleep" Darsen replied.


Mother felt the heat from her son and she knew that Darsen had a fever. Darsen is like a child in front of his mother if he is sick even more than Velino when sick.


"Papa, why?" ask Velino.


"Papa's tired, honey. Veli's healed?"


Velino nodded, he smiled slightly seeing the father still hugging his mother from behind. Even Velino could not feel the affection of the mother like the father who got from Bu Ami.


"Sandra's home? Why would he still dare to meet you?" ask Mother.


"I've already kicked him out, ma'am. It was as if you were still accepting it so Sandra dared to approach me again" Darsen replied.


Mother let go of Darsen's embrace, she looked at her son's beautiful face. His handsome son is indeed in love with many women but behind it all makes Darsen so difficult to live life.


"You have a woman to be your companion? Sen, cassian Velino. She still needs a mother's love."


"Mom, only Mom understands this situation more than you. I like Mela, Mom. I was wrong and I didn't know myself but now I see Mela as the person I like" Darsen said.


Mother's eyes were aghast, she looked at her son in wonder.
