Possessive Companions

Chapter 34

Darrel enters the house after parking his car in the garage. His steps led straight to the living room. There, Gara and Alula were sitting together enjoying the television broadcast.

"Darrell,"

"Yes, Mom." The man kissed his parents' hands.

"You alone?" Gara asked, with her gaze still focused on the television.

"Yes, Dad."

"Aren't you the same as Darren?"

"Yes, I was with him, Mom. But then I met my friend. Darren's probably still in the office."

Alisha exited the reading room and immediately ran towards the family room. One hand holds the reading book and one hand holds his cell phone.

"Yeah..." Alisha hugged Gara's body. Make the man take off his embrace on Alula's shoulder, and switch to hugging his daughter.

"What's up, son?"

"Hiks..."

Alula, Darrel and Gara gasp at Alisha's sobs. Gara's face turned very cold. He gritted his teeth, furious. However, she kept her voice to keep it soft and did not scare her daughter.

"Who made my son cry? Come on, tell me Dad." She hugged her daughter and rubbed her hair.

"Alisha. Dear. Come on, tell Mom. You why?"

"Yes, deck. Come on, say the same brother. Who hurt you?"

"Dad." Alisha says softly.

"Yes, son."

"If Alisha makes a mistake, Alisha is naughty, Alisha is not obedient, Dad, Mom, same Sister Twins will not be angry with Alisha right?" All speechless. What happened to Alisha? And that, Twin Sisters? Absolutely a new call for Darren Darrel.

"Dad, why are you guys silent? You don't love Alisha?"

"Son, we love you so much." Reply Alula. Gara was still silent while continuing to rub Alisha's hair slowly.

"Why don't you answer Alisha?"

"Dad, neither Mother nor Sister will be angry with Alisha."

"You're not going to hit Alisha too?"

"Yes." Yeah." Answer them simultaneously.

"You're not going to throw Alisha away and not consider Alisha a family, are you?"

Everyone else agreed with Alisha. But, Darrel was already unable to contain his curiosity.

"What's the matter, deck?" Darrel was impatient.

"Hiks, Alisha, Alisha was reading a novel about a boy who was dumped by his family." Gara's cold face, as well as Alula and Darrel's worried face, began to look better. But they're still waiting for the continuation of Alisha's story.

"The kid is naughty, no submissive, likes to throw tantrums. Father, Mother, Brother and family do not like the same attitude. He was scolded and hated by every family member. He was beaten every day by his Father, Mother and Brother. Then he was dumped when he was wounded by his father's beating."

"During this time Alisha is also naughty, sometimes not obedient, continue to bother twin sisters. Alisha is lazy too. Alisha was afraid of having a kayak family in the novel."

For rubbing Alisha's hair. "Dear, listen! Father, Mother and Brother will not admit it to you. It's just in the novel not the real world." Saying Gara.

"Dad right?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Jeez, deeek... Sister kira fuck. That's not gonna happen. Don't think shit."

"Yes, kid. Can't think of anything, can you?"

"Yes, Mom, Brother, Dad. Alisha won't think anymore." Alisha UCapa. His eyes were watching everyone in the room. "Oh yeah, Dad. Kak Asya said, Kak Darren is at his house." He said when he didn't see Darren there.

"At Asya's house?" Darrel repeats Alisha's words. The little girl nodded.

Darrel immediately reached into his pants pocket and called Darren. He wanted to make sure what Alisha said.

"Hallo, Ren?"

"Hmmm..."

"You're at Asya's house?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Well? Asya why?"

"To keep a promise." Darren's reply was brief.

Darrel was silent for a moment. He thought about Darren's words. After a few seconds, he remembered Darren's words in Asya's room.

"Oh, yes. I recall. But why don't you know? Good thing Alisha knows."

"I sent a message to Dad's phone with Mom."

"Yes already. I'll close it first."

"Hm."

"Darren's right at Asya's house. Batuin Asya finished his work. He also sent the same message to Mom. Where's Dad's phone with Mom?"

Alula and Gara immediately search for their respective mobile phones. Both of them checked the phone, and it was right that Darren sent a message about him who was in Asya's house. Both of them seem to be unaware if there is an incoming message on their mobile phones.

"Same father Mother is too lulled in intimacy until the message notification is not heard."

"Darrel." Tegur Alula, at the words of her son.

"Hehehe... Kidding Ma'am."

"If so, Alisha's going to the reading room again, huh?" Alula, Gara and Darrel nodded in agreement. As Alisha walked a few steps, Darrel's voice came back.

"Don't read that weird again, deck. Make people worry." His cry, which was answered by Alisha's smile. The girl walked back.

"Ck. Good thing you didn't explode." Mumbled slowly.

"Dad listen, Darrel." Said Gara flat, making Darrel chuckle. As for Alula, she could only shake her head.

***

At the Edo residence, Asya and Darren were in the study. Both focus on checking the files, and doing something needed.

Asya glanced at the files on the table. The pile began to shrink. Asya smiled. Darren is very smart and clever.

"This is all right. You sign it."

Asya grabbed the documents Darren gave her. He read it again and then signed it.

"Darren,"

"Hmm?"

"Is all this easy for you?" The man looked directly at Asya. He smiled faintly and rubbed Asya's head.

"It will be easy for you too after you learn a lot."

"Dad has prepared people to help me. But I still want to learn more. Can I not learn with you?"

"Can."

"Correct?"

"Hmmm..."

Asya immediately hugged Darren tightly. "Thank you, huh?"

"Hmmm..."

Asya refocused on their work. The clock continues to turn. There are two more documents. As Darren grabbed one of the two documents, the door of the study was knocked. Asya immediately walked open the door. And Darren, he doesn't care and stays focused.

"Eh, Naomi?"

"Hehehe... I'm bothering you?"

"E-don't." Asya was a little nervous. Not because of Naomi, but because of the drink Naomi brought. He offered Darren a drink. The man finished his drink and did not want to drink any more. He's afraid Darren will be angry. Moreover, he knows, Naomi is reckless.

Naomi smiled. His eyes still glanced at Darren who was not the least bit affected by his arrival.

"I brought you guys drinks as snacks." Naomi went in without waiting for Asya to tell her. He placed the tray he was carrying right in front of Darren. And with confidence, he sat down next to Darren. It's right between Darren and Asya.

Asya could only sigh slowly. While Darren, glanced sharply at Naomi, then refocused on the file he was holding.

"I just got back from my friend's contract who works in the same department as me. Suddenly I want to buy a snack. So, I bought. When I arrived, Auntie said you were in the study. So, I just make a drink and bring it here with the snack I bought." His word.

"Asya, come!"

Naomi's face turned grim as neither Darren nor Asya responded. Darren instead called Asya, who seemed to ignore him.

Asya got up and Darren patted the empty spot on his right side.

"What's wrong?" Asya asked, while sitting at the spot Darren pointed at. Darren explained everything related to the document. Makes Asya nod in understanding.

"Oh yes, this file..."

"Get out! You're not helping here." Darren's cold words, cut off Naomi's words.

Asya just kept quiet. No more defense for Naomi. Although he felt, Darren was a little outrageous.

"Sorry, I'm interrupting." Naomi immediately grabbed the tray and hurried away from the room.

"Wait!" Naomi stops her steps after hearing Darren's orders. He smiles happily and feels Darren has no heart for him and will apologize. However, his smile disappeared as Darren returned to his voice.

"Bring back these drinks and snacks. We don't need it."

Nyepi...

Naomi's heart hurts. It is as if it were broken by reality. Holding back tears and anger, Naomi turned around and brought the drinks and snacks that were on the table.

Braaks...

Naomi closed the door violently. Produces a pretty loud bang. Darren doesn't care. He then rubbed Asya's hair which was still staring towards the door.

"Don't mind him." Her speech.

Asya nodded. He can only hope that Naomi will be good again. His focus is now enough on his job and also his best friend, Aurel.
