Perfect Wife Azraell

Chapter 21: Fear and Anxiety

Aprodithe Apartment

"You're defending him more, Zra? I'm your lover!"

Eri's shrill voice filled the soundproof room in her apartment. The frown on his forehead signifies his dissatisfaction with Azraell's attitude that interrogates him, and seems to accuse him of wrongdoing.

Azraell shook his head. "No, hon. I never blamed you. I was just asking what really happened. Why would Dareen want to slap you?"

Eri brushed off Azraell's hand. "Don't you see that he was trying to hurt me? He's gonna slap me Zra! Looky!"

He showed his hand which had a faint trace of redness. "He even slapped my hand to the red! I'm the victim here, Zra. Why don't you believe me?"

"Are you starting to like it?!" accuse Eri with beads gleaming with tears.

"I don't like it, baby. I just love you." Azraell said, holding Eri's hand.

"If you love me, why are you accusing me?! I didn't do anything. He started it all. The officer came to me with the boy. And he thinks I'm a kidnapper! Even trying to hurt me." Said Eri.

Azraell drew Eri in his arms and repeated apologies. "sorry. I believe you, I believe."

Although the word was spoken in his lips, his mind said another. "Is Dareen really doing that? She's a woman who even has more composure than me. Is true?"

While on the other hand, Aileen who was lying on her bed. "Mom accompany Aileen until Aileen sleeps?"

The blonde haired woman pulled the blanket up to Aileen's neck and patted her arm softly, giving her the comfort and warmth she needed. "Of course baby. Now close your eyes, and sleep."

The woman saw Aileen close her eyes and her hand moved to pat Aileen softly with a smile on her face. He started to hum gently. Leading Aileen to a beautiful dream that contained her smiling in her heart. Humming for longer, Dareen stopped. Looking at Aileen's face before getting up and walking away.

Closing the door, Dareen sighed and pressed her forehead against the door for a while. Before the end, he pulled himself away. "Let's calm Reen, Aileen's fine."

...***...

"For beautiful mama~" Out of his room to the main room directly adjacent to the pantry, Aileen greeted the woman who was struggling with kitchen utensils and cooking ingredients arranged nicely on the table.

Dareen turned her head and put a smile on Aileen who had been sitting herself on the chair. "Mama's son is ready. Will Aileen wait a minute? The soup is not ripe."

"Sure, ma!" Aileen did not escape leaving her smile.

After Aileen's last reply, the soup matured shortly afterwards. The mother and daughter couple then enjoyed their breakfast together in a warm atmosphere before Dareen brought Aileen to her car to take the six-year-old to school.

"Aileen sure doesn't leave anything?" In his car that stopped at the NES, Dareen looked at Aileen and asked her the question.

Aileen shook her head confidently. "Nothing, ma."

"Then have fun today" said Dareen.

"Mama loves Aileen too."

After giving a wave of his hand, Aileen ran into the NES building and left the excited screams of children running into the NES building. Dareen let go of his gaze after a while and left.

Vita Corp

"You're going? Whither? What about Aileen? You're gonna take her? How long you been gone? What about the office?" Anye asked blindly to Dareen who was struggling with the pile of paper she had just given.

Dareen who heard it until the dizziness made. He pulled out a piece of paper, examined it as he said. "I have something to do abroad. I plan to leave Aileen at Azra's parents' place . Maybe not for long, I only need a few days, four days at most."

"What is personal?" tanya Anye made Dareen nod.

Anye quickly understood and nodded her head. "Then I'll have Fimala replace you with a presentation file with the CEO of MicLCorp."

"Thank you, Lie."

Anye nodded. "Alright, then I'll get back to work. I hope you won't forget the souvenirs for me, Reen. Bye, excited!"

Looking at Anye who stepped back towards the door with a face full of expression, Dareen also smiled. Made Anye wave her hand for a moment before exiting and closing the door of Dareen's room.

Nah!

The pen in his hand fell because of the trembling that seemed to look faint in a pair of slender white hands. Dareen's gaze slowly became unfocused. And his facial water showed a trace of anxiety. After a while passed, he pressed on Emma's contact and made a phone call. Before Dareen could speak, the woman across there had already charged at Dareen with questions.

[Reen, are you and Aileen okay?! You left in a panic earlier. Did something happen?]

"Well, sorry about what happened yesterday. There's a little problem going on, but it looks like it's done." He paused his words while hearing Emma sigh in relief. "I want to ask you for help, Emma."

[What help, Reen? Justsaytheword. I will do it as long as I can.]

"Can you tell me Chisa's address?" Her speech.

There was doubt heard from Emma's voice. [What's Reen for? Do you want to see him?]

"I'm gonna need it. Please send it to me immediately." Dareen said before hanging up the phone call unilaterally.

He rested his hair with his elbow resting on the table. "Sorry Aileen. I hope you understand, Mama, will do everything to protect you." He muttered before his voice was swallowed mute.
