Possessive Companions

Chapter 38

Alisha has returned to school after a day's rest at home. As usual, she prepared in the morning cheerfully. He was going down to the dining room. But, his steps came to a halt in front of Darren's room door.

"Today, Big Brother will go with Kak Asya to review the location. May Brother Darren and Brother Asya be together soon." Guam. He knocked on Darren's room door.

Geck... Geck... Geck...

"Sister, this is Alisha." He shouted, and before long, Darren's room door opened.

"What's wrong?" Darren asked softly, then rubbed Alisha's head.

"Sister not ready yet? Not leaving the office today?" Ask Alisha, pretending not to know. He knew it from Asya. He sent a message to Asya's house after Asya came home later. But, the girl said if she and Darren would go review the location. Be Alisha know if Darren will leave today.

"Sister is going to area B, to review the construction site of the project."

"Oh, using a car?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Area B is very far away. It took 6 hours to get there. I hope something good holds them there. And the relationship of Brother and Sister Asya also improved.

"Oh yeah, how many days is Brother there?"

"Two days."

Alisha nodded. He then went down to the dining room. Before long, Darren also went down with his casual stellan.

After driving Alisha to school, Darren returns home. Darrel's been gone since Darren left to take Alisha.

"You're leaving now?"

"Yes, Mom."

"Is all your needs ready?"

"Just two days, don't take much." Reply Darren. "I'm going to the room."

Alula nodded. His handler kept an eye on Darren until the boy's body could no longer reach his sight.

"He looks a lot like you." Alula said, sitting next to Gara.

"of course. He's my son." Reply Gara, pulling Alula's body in her arms.

Alula was silent not replying. Smiling to see his wife. He looked down and kissed Alula's lips.

"Darling, what are you doing?"

"Smuck your lips."

"I mean, there's a lot of servants passing by. And... What if Darren sees it?"

"Hm... Then, let's go to the room."

"Darren hasn't left yet."

"So, after Darren leaves, shall we?"

"No."

"Akkhh... I can't wait for Darren to finish his business in area B."

"For what?"

"You forgot the plan I made with Edo, Gio and Viko?"

"Huh? That plan is?"

"of course. But, this time Gio and Viko can't. The kids are still in school."

Alula and Gara stopped their conversation when they heard the approaching footsteps. Gara and Alula looked at Darren who stopped in front of them. The man was wearing casual clothes. Very handsome and charming.

"You look more handsome." The words of praise just came out of Gara's mouth.

"Everything I got from Dad." That flat-pitched sentence was able to make Gara smile. He approached and rubbed Darren's head like what he often did to Alisha and occasionally to Darrel.

Darren fell silent. He felt a strange feeling. But, so comfortable.

"Be careful. The trip to area B takes 6 hours. Rest if you are tired. Don't spend six hours on one trip. Safety is more important. You brought a girl."

"Good, Dad."

Alula smiled at the interaction of Father and child. Since the presence of her son and daughter, Gara has been more talkative than usual.

"Always tell us. Take care of yourself and Asya." Alula hugged her son and tipped the man's forehead. Darren lowered his body slightly so that Alula could reach him.

Gara just took a breath seeing Alula peeking at Darren's forehead. Want him to pull Alula and thwart her act of pecking Darren's forehead. But, he realized. She should not be possessive of Alula when interacting with their children. Thankfully, this is Darren. If Darrel, he believes he has exceeded the limit of refraining from acting. Because the child will be very annoying and heat up Gara after getting sweet treatment from Alula.

"Then I'm gone." Gara and Alula agree. The two then drove Darren and continued to pay attention to their son until the car driven could not be reached by the eye anymore.

At Asya's house, Edo and Irene sat with their daughter in the living room. Accompanying Asya waiting for Darren to pick her up.

"What the hell, baby. You don't believe in Darren?" Upset Irene.

"Ck. Not to believe, baby. Darren is Gara's son. Because of that, cold-cold pervert. Who knows Darren's like his dad."

"Isa. You're just as perverted." Reply Irene.

Asya who saw the small debate of her parents also chuckled. Her father was always weird.

"Papa don't worry. Darren is not like that. Darren always takes care of Asya. If Darren is that, Asya can still take care of himself. After all, it was done by someone to their partner. Darren's not Asya's partner, so there's not going to be anything weird like Papa thinks."

Edo and Irene fell silent. There was sadness they saw from Asya's eyes when he said 'Darren is not Asya's partner'. But, the girl covered him with a resplendence that radiated across her face.

The roar of the stopped car made the three people stop their chatter. Before long, the door was knocked. Asya moved quickly and opened the door.

Degs...

Asya is fascinated by Darren's performance. His casual appearance made Darren look different than usual.

"Darrenes. A-ayo, comein! I'll take my luggage."

Darren nodded and followed Asya towards the living room. He saw Edo and Irene there.

"Uncle, aunt." His sweep made both Asya's parents nod.

"Sit down, Darren." Edo.

"Yes." Yeah." Darren sat on the sofa opposite Edo and Irene.

"You'll stay two days there. Please take good care of my daughter."

"Yes, Uncle."

Asya approached them while dragging her suitcase. Darren who saw it immediately stood up and grabbed the thing from Asya's hand.

"Let me take it." Her speech. Asya did not argue. He just let it go.

Asya said goodbye and hugged her parents. They walk out. Darren stuffed Asya's suitcase into the trunk of the car.

"Aunty tipped aunty yes, Darren."

"Yes,"

"We're leaving first, Ma, Pa." Asya Say.

"Be careful." Reply Edo and Irene.

***

The car drove casually through the slightly stretchy streets. There have been no talks at all between Darren and Asya. Darren is focused on driving and Asya is busy with her phone.

Darren glanced at Asya at a glance. His forehead shriveled. There is a feeling of dislike when Asya smiles when typing something on her phone.

"Who?" Darren's question made Asya turn her head.

"Hmm?" With her innocent gaze, Asya cleared her throat as if asking, 'What's wrong?'.

Darren hush. Don't want to make any more noise. I don't know, he felt like Asya ignored him. The question is not to hear and ask back.

Asya who understood Darren's inertia also took a breath. He glanced at his phone.

"I exchanged messages with Aurel." Evidently.

"Hmmm..." Only Deheman Asya can.

Asya again took her breath. He ends his message with Aurel, then puts his phone in a bag.

"Darren,"

"Hmmm..."

"You mad?" Darren was silent, not wanting to answer.

"Yes already. I'd better get some sleep." Asya folded her hands while pouting. He then leaned back and closed his eyes. However, Darren's words made him re-open his eyes.

"I'm not angry." Darren said, quickly.

Asya held back her smile. He was so happy to work on Darren like this.

"I'm still going to sleep." Reply Asya, closing her eyes again.

"It's still quite early."

"No problem. I slept late last night. So, still sleepy."

Darren paused for a moment, then poked his hand out, patting Asya's head softly.

"Sleep."

Asya smiled happily in her heart. It's convenient to be treated like that by Darren. Unconsciously, he was completely asleep.
