Married for Slander

Chapters 18.

As per what she said to Azzam earlier, Alana actually chose to leave the office.

But when he arrived in front of the gate, his steps immediately stopped when he met someone.

Two human children of different sexes were suddenly silent with their eyes wide open, no one thought that they would meet after all this time.

"A-alana..."

"Ri-rizal.." hissing the two together with eyes looked at each other.

Long staring at each other, Rizal then blinked, trying to resuscitate himself. He even spontaneously pinched his hand, hoping that this meeting was just a mere dream.

However, Rizal was suddenly aghast when he felt pain in his skin.

Yeah, it's not a dream. He actually looked at Alana with his own eyes.

Not strong enough to withstand the longing that he had been enduring, Rizal then rushed to Alana, he hugged the girl very tightly.

"Al, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a few days, but-"

"Rizal, let me go!" pinta Alana while pushing the man's arm.

Yes, Rizal and Alana were once lovers who admired each other. Rizal was forced to leave Alana shortly after the two were declared to graduate from High School.

Rizal is a smart man so he gets a student duty offer abroad, Rizal takes the golden opportunity and asks Alana to be patient waiting for him.

Now that she's back for Alana, she's thrilled to have found the girl she loves so much.

"Al, what's wrong with you?" asked Rizal frowning, he felt Alana was not the same as before, Alana seemed to dodge from him.

Is it true what Desi said yesterday? Has Alana really gotten married and forgotten herself?

Rizal doesn't want to accuse Alana without proof, he will find out the truth after this.

"Sorry, I have to go home. Me-" Alana looked nervously in front of Rizal, her bead eyes spinning staring at the door of the building.

Degs...

Alana gasped in shock to find Azzam in the doorway. The man smiled bitterly and immediately turned around.

"Al, what do you see? Did something happen when I wasn't there? What are you-"

"Sorry Rizal, I have to go." sidelines Alana with a panicked face, then runs into the company building.

Alana tried to catch up with Azzam, she knew that the incident had made her husband misunderstand.

But what happened? Azzam just disappeared somewhere, even the room was empty without life.

"Mr, where's the boss?" alana asked Ira with an agitated look.

"So he said he wanted to meet. Why, Al?" Ira asked back.

"Meeting where, Ma'am?" ask Alana again without answering Ira's question.

"Below, fifth floor if it's not wrong" Ira said as he had heard earlier.

Alana instantly disappeared after saying that. Ira who felt astonished could only frown while shaking her head.

What happened to the boss and secretary? The more Ira came here, the more it stuck in her mind.

In the elevator, Alana looked agitated with her hands squeezing each other. He was sure Azzam saw everything and thought that he had betrayed.

Shortly after the elevator stopped, the Alana scattering through the door that began to open. He had to meet Azzam and explain everything.

"The last of Vincent's Group is waiting in the meeting room. Is the Master going in now?" asked a male staffer to Azzam who was sitting on a sofa.

"Cancel it! I'm not interested in that company." Azzam asserted arrogantly.

"But, Mister-"

"Do as I say. If not, please leave the company!"

Azzam said with a furious tone and a high volume of voice, it made the male staff and the people around him shocked.

"Bright, sir."

When the man was about to go into the meeting room, Azzam again cheered him.

"After this find a new secretary, a woman, beautiful and single!" azzam's word with great emphasis.

"Okay sir, I'll find it." the man nodded, this time he did not dare to refute any longer, he did not want to provoke the anger of Azzam who seemed to be not okay.

After the man disappeared from his sight, Azzam got up from his seat. His steps were stunned when he found Alana who was standing before him and looking at him.

"Azzam.." muttered Alana with a slightly frightened look.

Azzam did not respond to Alana's words and instead passed away without a word.

"Wait, Azzam!" yelling Alana while turning around and running after her husband.

"Azzam, listen to me first!" tukas Alana enters the same elevator as Azzam.

After the elevator doors closed, Alana ventured into Azzam's eyes.

"Sorry, I'm busy. Now is not the right time to discuss personal matters." Azzam said without looking at Alana, she threw her face the other way.

"Azzam, you misunderstood." Alana tried to explain but Azzam suddenly twisted his neck and looked at her very sharply.

"Yes, it's my fault. I should have realized from the beginning that I was nobody to you, I was stupidly expecting more from this marriage." Azzam smiled bitterly.

"No Azzam, you're wrong"

"Yes, I was wrong to give my heart to you. I thought you needed some time, but it turns out" Azzam's eyes suddenly glazed over. "My wife refuses to come into contact with me, but not with another man."

"Not Azzam, it's not-"

"Do what you want to do. And if divorce is the best way for us, I'll make it happen. I will deliver you from this marriage hell."

Azzam swung a big step just after the elevator door opened, he walked away from the company and got into the car with tears of disappointment.
