Ever since Asya rejected her, Darren had never given up. He kept trying to regain Asya's attention and explain all the misunderstandings. Slowly, Asya began to melt. The girl did not drive Darren out again when the man visited, be it at home or at the office. Despite that, Asya was still indifferent and did not want to talk to Darren.
Lunch time has been over since 10 minutes ago. Asya was still struggling with her work, ignoring Darren who was sitting on the sofa, waiting for her to have lunch together.
"Assya. Lunch time is 10 minutes. Aren't you hungry?"
Asya did not answer. He stayed focused on his laptop screen. To be honest, he didn't know what to do. His work dealing with the laptop screen was done. He just waited for the documents that Nita will deliver after lunch.
"Well, it's not good to miss lunch." Darren.
"If you're hungry, go eat. Don't bother me." Reply, indifferently.
Darren fell silent. He grabs the phone, then sends a message to Nita, Asya's secretary. He deliberately kept the woman's number in order to know, what Asya's activities were.
^^^Darren^
^^^Bring me lunch
^^^ordinary Asya eat.^^^
Secretary Asya
Fine, monsieur.
After sending a message, Darren leaned back against the back of the sofa. The man's eyes could not be separated from Asya's face. After a few minutes, the door of Asya's room was knocked. Nita came in after getting an answer from Asya.
"This is sir, your order. I don't know what kind of food you like. So, I ordered the same."
"Yes." Yeah."
Nita lowered her head, then bailed out. After the door closed again, Darren moved while bringing food for Asya. He pulled the chair in front of Asya's table, and brought it to Asya's side. The man closed Asya's laptop, and turned Asya's chair against him.
"Darrenes. What are you doing?" Upset Asya.
"Now it's mealtime, not work."
"My work is not done yet."
"Don't lie. You've finished it."
"What do you know?"
"I know everything." Darren. "Come, eat first." Darren thrust a spoonful of food into Asya's mouth.
"No way."
"Asian. Eat first, will you?"
"I don't want to, Darren."
"Asian. Eat, huh?"
"Darr..."
"Eat. Okay?" Darren Disconnect. Asya could not refuse anymore. He said, opening his mouth to take a bribe from Darren. After the food was swallowed, Darren fed it back.
"I know, I was wrong." Darren said, suddenly. Asya did not respond to him and continued to chew his food.
"I didn't tell you about the women and boys who came to my office."
"I don't want to talk about it." Asya Say. He opened his mouth again to take a bribe from Darren.
"I'll keep talking about it." Reply Darren.
"That woman is the sister of a couple I helped. His wife is pregnant. Her husband died with his wife after giving birth. They are a couple who are not blessed by their parents. So, they fled to the country and got married there. It makes it hard to know their identity."
Darren returns to feed Asya. "I took the boy home and hired a babysitter to take care of him. Because he lives in the same place, Doni thinks I'm his father. After two years of living with me, my people finally found the Doni family. But Doni was not close to them. He just wants to be with me."
Darren continues to feed Asya while explaining who Doni and Carla are in her life.
"I finally made a deal for the parents of Doni's mother to settle in the country for a while. I'll also visit Doni once a week if I'm not busy."
Darren gives Asya a final bribe. "Grandfather and grandmother Doni have a daughter. They asked her to come and help care for Doni. The presence of the woman made Doni assume she was his mother. Doni was pretty familiar with him. I came back here when Doni was 2 years old. But, our relationship was never severed."
Asya swallowed her food and looked at Darren's eyes. "So, what's your relationship with Doni and that woman?"
Darren smiles. Finally, Asya asked. That meant the girl did not ignore him. "My bangs consider me my family. That woman, nobody."
Darren thrusts water and Asya drinks it.
"Then why did you tell me all that?" Ask Asya.
"Because you should know."
"Know or not, it's the same. I'm just your best friend, who doesn't always have to know all about you."
"You're wrong." Darren. He put Asya's dinner on the table. Darren pulled Asya's seat even closer to him. "Look! You should know all about me. I don't want to hide anything from you. I love you, Asya."
Asya's heart beat fast hearing the words of love coming out of Darren's lips. His teary eyes continued to stare at netra Darren.
"Don't play me, Darren." Asya lowered her head, hiding her already dripping tears. He was happy to hear it. But, he was afraid if it was just a fantasy that his mind created.
Darren shakes. He grabbed Asya's face gently and lifted her up. His thumb wiped Asya's tears. He looked at that face, then kissed Asya's forehead once.
"I love you, Asya. Really love you. I'm not gonna play you. I was stupid for my own feelings. I've loved you for a long time. But, I didn't realize it. I'm sorry." Said Darren, hugging tightly Asya.
"Darren, you're not lying, are you?"
Darren shakes. "No."
"This serious?"
"Yes." Yeah." Reply Darren. "Do you love me too?"
Asya nodded slowly and returned Darren's embrace no less tightly. "Yes. I love you too."
A sweet smile was engraved on Darren's lips upon hearing Asya's reply. He promised, he will not hurt Asya. He will always protect the girl.

Darrel circulated his gaze as he entered Aurel's apartment. He did not find the girl.
"Aurel!"
"Aurel!"
"I.u..."
"I'm here."
Darrel walked straight to the kitchen when he heard Aurel's words. The girl had just come out of the bathroom that was near the kitchen, and was now standing staring at Darrel with eyes glaring at the man.
"What are you carrying? Why so much?" Aurel approached Darrel while shaking his head.
The man, since knowing Aurel was pregnant, always accompanied Aurel and always brought something needed for pregnant women. But, he was always exaggerating, making Aurel to the head bobble.
"I bought you pregnant mother's milk." Darrel answered without sin.
"Oh my God, Darrel. The one three days ago is not over yet. Why did you buy it again?"
"Why not finished? Did you not drink it?"
"How can I spend 3 boxes of milk in three days?"
"yes too. All right, we'll keep it for stock."
"Darrell. The remaining 2 boxes. You bought it 3. There are 5 boxes. You have to remember that. I don't want you to buy it again tomorrow."
"Yes. I'll remember." Darrel. The man put his luggage on the table, then squatted his face with Aurel's stomach. He then rubbed the woman's stomach. What he has done since the first time he knew.
"Hi! How are you doing in Mom's stomach? You are healthy, yes. I can't wait to see you born and hear you calling me Dad."
Even though I'm not your father. I will love you as much as I love your mother.
"Darrell!"
"Hmm?" Darrel.
"Can you stand up?"
Darrel according. He stood up and looked at Aurel's face. "What's wrong?"
Aurel smiled and immediately hugged her. "Thank you for being so good to me. Thank you for accepting me and the baby I have. Thank you for loving this child."
Before I loved your son, I loved you first. But, I can't say it. I don't want you to get hurt because there's another girl in my life.
"Darrel."
"Hmm?"
"Are you listening to me?"
"Yes. I listened. You are an important person in my life. That kid is the most important person in your life. I can't ignore the happiness of the most important person in my life."
"Thank you Darrel."
"No need to thank me. I've looked at him like my son."
Aurel nodded without taking off her embrace. She likes the smell of Darrel. It felt so comfortable when he smelled her body.
Hi everybody. Sorry, just up now. Hope you like this part. Always healthy for all of you.
Greetings from Aquilaliza.
