My Beloved Arana's

Chapter 116: Equality

Hearing Arana's whisper, Alva stopped her eating and looked at Arana who was closed next to her.

Alva did not know whether Arana was asleep or not, but Alva calmly brought her face closer, pressed her forehead against Arana's forehead before gently grasping her hand and humming gently. Signifying that he can. It could be Arana Canyelier's forever, with no one to bother with it.

Arana may have fallen asleep. He is exhausted after dealing with the problems he has been having lately, especially because of David. He couldn't think of whether David would actually tell Alva or not. Even if David tells Alva, what's going to break is Alana's name. However, maybe at that time Arana will no longer be able to enjoy being with Alva like this. Like two people who are being loved.

I don't know how long Arana was asleep, but when she woke up, Alva was hugging her.

They are in a room. Underneath it was a soft bed that made her sleep soundly, and a soft blanket enveloped the two and spared them from the cold of the night. When Arana glances at the clock on her phone, time shows at one in the morning. Arana calmly grabs her phone, checks the light of her phone does not bother Alva and opens her phone to check if there is a message.

Sure enough, there were some messages sent a few hours ago, and there was a message that was just sent a few minutes ago.

Opening it, Arana widened her eyes.

[Sister, it's me, Aki. Please pick me up at the airport, I'm running away from home. Don't tell mom and dad.]

...***...

Looking at her phone anxiously, Arana tried to contact Aki several times. The airport is not that close and it takes at least two hours to get to the airport. After getting a message from Akim Arana wakes Alva and the two rush to the airport in Alva's car. Driving at a speed slightly above average, Alva lets Arana try to contact Aki until she can.

"I'll try to contact him. God, how could a kid as small as him wander around alone in the airport! Al, what if something happens to her?!" panic Arana.

Alva tries to calm Arana down. "Quiet darling. Aki is a smart kid. The airport is the safest place for him right now than outside. There's security on every side, and if anything happens to him, he'll definitely ask the officer for help."

Arana nodded, calming herself down as she firmly pressed the phone icon. Contact Aki again and again.

After many calls are not connected, finally the calls are connected. "Aki? Are you all right? Where are you now?!"

[Silent brother. I'm still bandaged. My phone ran out of power and I borrowed a charger from an officer. I sat near the entrance.]

Hearing that, Arana was so relieved. "Gosh, you really scared us. Stay there and don't go anywhere, okay? We'll be there in an hour. If there's anything, call us and ask the officer for help?"

[Yes, brother. I'll wait, be careful on the way.]

Shortly after, the call was terminated. Arana looked at Alva, "Aki was still waiting there. Thankfully, his phone just ran out of power. That really scared me. What exactly made her run away from home?"

Alva. "I don't know either. I'll have to interrogate him later. I will also inform Yoko and Joshua, at least if Aki does not want her whereabouts here to be known, I will inform them first and try to make them understand in order to give Aki time. Then, we can try to persuade Aki."

Arana nodded in agreement.

On the other hand, the teenage boy looked at his phone coldly. Turn off the location of his phone and calmly block his parents' number. Not to be distracted for a while. He sighed, and then looked ahead coldly.

He eventually became a coward for running away.

...***...

An hour later, Alva's car entered the airport area. The airport is always open and its light illuminates every side. Opening the car door, Arana and Alva walk side by side entering the airport to look for Aki.

Arana Guerrilla Manik looked around, and found a boy sitting on the wall while playing his phone. He carried a small backpack in his hand that might only fit for a few items. Seeing her gaze, Arana's heart slipped. He had seen such eyes.

Arana moved her feet quickly towards Aki. Following Alva behind her, Arana grabbed Aki and carried her into a hug which made the boy shocked and stunned when she heard Arana muttering near her ear.

"It's okay, you'll be fine here. You must be scared, right? No problem, we're here for you."

Arana hugged Aki tighter, and occasionally rubbed her back. The boy looked straight ahead stunned, and his pair of manics glazed over, as he subconsciously returned Arana's embrace and drowned her face in Arana's boat. For the first time, Aki was crying in her life.

Feeling the trembling shoulders in her arms, Arana patiently calmed her down.

Arana had seen that look. The look of pain and disappointment seemed to be on the verge of despair. Arana had seen him, because the one who had made that gaze was the one who had always been close to him, becoming his close friend, Amber.

Flashbacks

The twelve-year-old girl looked at the view of the house in front of her in awe. Arana looked at Arselyne beside her and asked with a slightly rounded pair of beads. "Amber lives here, Ly?"

Arselyne nodded. Making Arana exclaim lightly, "The house is very nice!"

The building in front of it is a blend of classical and modern European styles. The tall pillars with domes and arched windows could be seen neatly arranged. Shady trees adorn the spacious garden behind the fence, and a large fountain is built in the middle of the connecting road of the building and the road, as a rotary shaft. The soft cream color element and the granite black made Arana fixated in admiration.

"Amber's father still has royal blood. So, yeah ... his family maintained their aesthetic." Arselyne explained.

Arana could hardly believe it. "And Amber was a boy dressed in eccentric clothing. I'm amazed that she actually grew up in an environment like this."

Arselyne smiles and nods, then invites Arana to step in to see Amber for a routine visit that Arselyne always does. Arana follows Arselyne as she looks around him, trying to notice the beauty of the house. How much Arana looks, the bigger she feels that Amber's father's aesthetic is the best in the classical school. Really luxurious and elegant feel.

Pressing bell. Arselyne and Arana waited for some time before the big door opened.

Two maids opened the door. They wore black and white clothes, with their hair neatly curled. Arana notices them and Arselyne says hello. "Good morning, Amber is there?"

The two women knew who Arselyne was. Friends of their young lady. The two looked at each other for some time before they calmly said, "Sorry Mr. Arselyne, and little lady. The young miss is away together with the mistress and won't be back until later tonight. Their answer was neat and calm, but Arana felt that they were hiding something from the way they looked at each other at the beginning of opening the door. Moreover, yesterday Amber said that today she has no events and is free to play all day with them.

Arselyne nodded his head, knowing that Amber's mother often took Amber away. "All right then. We'll go, see you, brother!"

"Please be careful in the streets, ladies and gentlemen."

After saying goodbye, Arselyne and Arana step out and board Arselyne's car. But Arana's forehead creased deeper and deeper the more she thought about it. In the end, he opened his voice. "Did Amber really go with her mom?"

Arselyne nodded. "Looks like. Mama Amber often takes her out. Whether it's shopping or just a walk."

"Is Mama Amber a young woman with black hair?"

Arselyne nodded. "How do you know? Haven't you ever met her?"

"But, Ly. I saw him step in the second floor window."
