Possessive Companions

Chapter 56

Asya enters the cafe where Aurel works. His steps were immediately directed to Aurel's room. When the door of the room opened, he could not help but smile. The girl hugged Aurel.

"She, what's wrong?" Aurel asked, replying to Asya's embrace.

"I'm so happy, Aurel."

"What's wrong? Don't make me curious. Come on, tell me!"

"We sit down first."

Asya immediately closed the door and walked with Aurel towards the sofa. The smile on the girl's lips never came off.

"Come, say! What makes you so happy?"

"Darren expressed his feelings to me. He loves me, Aurel."

"Darren's? Really true?" Asya excitedly nodded, asserting Aurel's question.

"Oh my God, Asya. I'm happy too." Aurel hugged Asya. Seeing the happy face of his best friend makes him happy. "I'm happy."

Asya let go of her embrace. He looked at Aurel's face. "Thank you." He said, making Aurel nod.

Asya slightly lowered her head, staring at Aurel's stomach. He rubbed Aurel's stomach gently.

"Cummer, baby. How are you doing? Be healthy, you're in there. Aunty was very happy. Aunty is also very much looking forward to your birth. Aunty baby darling."

"Baby loves Aunty too." Aurel replies, mimicking the voice of a child, which then makes the two laugh together.

"Oh yes, Asya. When did Darren express his feelings?"

"Yesterday."

"Huhu... At last... He's also conscious of his guess."

Asya smiled in response. "Have you had lunch?"

"Yet. When I got the message that you were coming here, I decided to have lunch with you."

"Uuhh... So sweet is my friend." Asya pinched slowly on both cheeks of Aurel.

"Asians..."

"Hehehe... Come on, let's eat up front! I'll treat you."

"Yes-yes. A girl filled with love." Aurel said, making the two again chuckle together, while walking out of the room.

As usual, after returning home from work, Darrel will go home with Aurel or will meet Aurel at the apartment. He'll stay a few hours there, then go home.

Darrel parked his car and entered the house. He came home a little late tonight. Darren was home before Darrel arrived.

"Where are you from?" Gara's voice was heard as Darrel turned to close the door.

The man turned his head and found his father standing looking at him. Darrel approached Gara with a calm look on his face.

"I'm from meeting friends."

"Don't lie Darrel. I know how many friends you have."

"Dad..."

"You've seen that girl, haven't you?"

"Dad knows?"

"You forgot? I can even pull you away from that girl."

"Dad..."

"Father is not one to ignore the changes that are happening to your children. Do you think Dad won't investigate you when you always come home late on the pretext of hanging out with your friends?"

Darrel. Yeah, he forgot who his dad was. A person who is cold but concerned about every change that happens to his family.

"Dad wants to talk to you." Said Gara, then rushed towards the family room.

Darrel didn't say much and soon followed his father. He sat on the sofa facing his father.

"What's up, Dad?"

"Den's found some clues about the girl." Saying Gara.

Degs... Darrel's heart was like it wanted to stop. His heart was eager to ignore the matter. Forget about the girl and live her life with Aurel. But, he went back to thinking, what if the girl was pregnant? He knows what it's like to live without a father.

"Dad is your Father. I know, what you feel for that girl you meet so often. But, I don't want your son to be a jerk. The one who has ruined and left just like that."

"I'm sorry, Dad."

"You don't have to apologize. I just don't want my son to make the wrong decision. I don't blame your feelings. But, I don't want you to get away from your responsibilities just because you focus on how you feel."

"Yes, I understand what you're saying. What information did Uncle Kenan get?"

"People working under Kenan's supervision get cctv footage from another corner of the hotel. Although his face was not so clear, they would try to find his identity. Ben was also already there to investigate directly."

"Uncle Ben? Wasn't he in town a week ago?"

"Yes. I asked him to leave 5 days ago." Darrel just nodded.

After his father left, Darrel lowered his head and ruffled his hair. He took his breath and threw it a little rough. Uninspired, Darrel stood up and walked unsteadily towards his room.

"What's wrong?" The sound of Darren standing leaning against the door of the room made Darrel look up at him.

He walked lazily and leaned back right beside Darren.

"Uncle Kenan found the woman. Although her face was not very clear, I was sure that soon the identity of the woman would be discovered. Uncle Ben was already there. It would definitely be easier to know the identity of the girl."

"Isn't that good?"

"Yes... That's a good one. But..." Darrel paused his words and lowered his head. "I love Aurel." Reciprocity.

"Hufth..." I heard Darren's breath. "I expected it."

"You mean?" Darrel looked at Darren's face which was focusing his gaze forward.

"I know you like Aurel not because of the bonds of friendship, but the feelings between women and men. It's not just me who can see it. Asya and maybe also Jiyo, can see it. I'm also sure that Aurel loves you too."

"But you have to remember! There's a girl you have to take responsibility for. Do not tie them both. It'll hurt them."

Darrel fell silent and looked down at Darren's words. His eyes stared at the floor he was on. His heart ached to remember that he and Aurel could not be together. Suddenly, he remembered Aurel's condition now. How will Aurel and her baby live when Darrel focuses on her responsibilities? It made Darrel take his breath.

"Darren!"

"Hmm?"

"Aurel's pregnant!"

Degs... Darren immediately turned to look at his twin.Cannot he deny, he was surprised to hear Darrel's words.

Darren let out his breath, and regained his composure. "Your son?" Only that question came out of Darren's mouth.

"No. I don't know. Aurel didn't tell me either. From Aurel's expression I saw, it seemed like something bad had happened to him."

Darren breathed a sigh of relief. At least, the child Aurel conceived was not Darrel's. If it's Darrel's son, what's the fate of the two women. They will be very hurt.

"Thank God. I thought your son was."

"No. But I promised to take responsibility. I'll take that child as my son."

Darren was silent again. Her twin sister made her quite surprised for the second time.

Love makes people unable to think clearly. Inner Darren.

Darren straightened his body then patted Darrel on the shoulder.

"Rest! Calm your mind." Darren said, then walked down the stairs.

***

In the morning, Darren was already at Asya's house. As promised, he will have breakfast with Asya at Asya's house. His breakfast with Asya is known by Alisha. The girl was very happy and forced Darren to hurry to Asya's house. And here comes Darren. At Asya's house, in the dining room.

Asya deftly took breakfast for Darren.

"This. Come, eaten!" Her speech.

The man nodded and grabbed the food Asya had put down. Irene and Edo who saw Asya and Darren's relationship improve again, smiled happily. Their daughter is not moody anymore like before.

"How is Grisam Group, Darren?"

"Good Uncle." Reply Darren.

"Our company cooperation?" Ask Irene.

"Everything's good, Ma. There's nothing to worry about." Sela Asya's.

"Thank God. Papa was afraid when there was a problem between you yesterday."

"Just misunderstand." Darren.

After the small talk, they resumed their breakfast. Naomi who had just entered the room frowned. From his back alone, he knew it was Darren.

Darren's? She had breakfast here? His inner.

He walked quickly to the dining table. "Good morning, everybody." Sweep, with a big smile.

"Good morning." Reply Asya, Irene and Edo. While Darren, not a single word came out of his mouth. Don't answer, just look at him reluctantly.

"Darrenes. You have breakfast here too?" Ask Naomi. Darren did not answer.

Naomi smiled stiffly, then pulled up the chair and sat down. "Hey, please get me some bread and jam."

Asya nodded. But, as his hand touched the food, Darren's voice sounded.

"Give me that jam and bread." Darren.

Asya looked at him and then looked at Naomi. Then he gave the jam and bread to Darren.

"Make it for me." Asya looked at Darren. It's not usually that guy like this. Usually he would smear his own jam.

"You can get your own food." Darren spoke coldly to Naomi. Making the girl smile forcibly, with her hands clenched under the table.

Looks like you guys have been fine. Look, I'm gonna ruin your relationship again. Inner Naomi.
