Possessive Companions

Chapter 71

Darrel drove to the hotel, as Darren said. Beside him, there was Aurel who was silent as he occasionally glanced at the rearview mirror, watching Asya who was asleep with her thigh-based head Darren in the back seat. The man continued to stare at Asya who was lying down.

I don't know what happens to you if me and the others don't arrive soon. Inner Darren. He nodded his forehead asya.

At a time like this, Aurel knew how much Darren loved Asya. She was grateful that her best friend had a man who loved her by her side. He was also grateful, nothing happened to his best friend.

Darrel, who had seen Aurel, had been silent since then, clasping the girl's hand. He smiled soothingly.

"Have they booked a room?" Ask Darren.

"It has. Room 611 and room 612." Answer Darrel. He got a message on his way to the parking lot.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the hotel. Darren immediately leads Asya to room 611, and Darrel takes Aurel to room 612.

Darren laid Asya's body onto the bed. He still continued to think about Asya's fate if he did not arrive on time.

"I love you. I'll punish myself if anything happens to you." He said, then kissed the entire face of Asya. He stopped himself when the urge to kiss Asya's lips appeared. He looked at the girl's lips.

"Did he kiss your lips?" Ask Darren. He put a little of his face away. His hand moved rubbing Asya's lips.

"I will teach him a lesson worth learning."

Darren completely distanced his face from Asya's face, then enveloped the girl.

Cup...

One kiss again landed on Asya's forehead. After which, Darren moved towards the sofa. He sat down and watched Asya.

In the next room, Aurel was agitated. He wanted to see Asya, but Darrel forbade him.

"Darrel, is Asya conscious or not?"

"I don't know."

"Come, let's see Asya for a second. Darren probably won't get angry when he sees you coming."

Instead of answering, Darrel pulled Aurel in his arms and hugged him tightly.

"We'll leave when Darren calls or texts."

"Darr..."

"Sleep. It's getting late. Pregnant women are not good to stay up." Darrel.

***

Darren did not close his eyes. He continued to wake up while looking at Asya who was still lying on the bed.

"Uugh... Shh... My head hurts."

Hearing Asya's moans, Darren rushed over to her.

"Let me help." He said, helping Asya sit down.

The girl looked at Darren for a moment, and a few seconds later, she immediately hugged Darren so tightly.

"Da-Darren's... Ka-Kak Hendra, he's evil. Na-Naomi also. They're... They trap me. They're... They're..."

"Sttts... Don't think about it anymore." Darren hugged her back and stroked Asya's hair.

"I was unconscious. What's... What did Hendra do to me? Her... He touched my hand as my consciousness began to disappear. I don't know what's going on. Tell me, Darren!"

"Calm down, Asya. Calm. He didn't do anything."

"really?"

"Yes. We came on time."

"Darrenes. You must be mad at me. You must be very disappointed in me. I'm stupid! I just believe in them. Darren, I'm unconscious. I don't know what Hendra's doing. It's probable... Maybe he took my first kiss. It's probable... Her... She's..."

"Assya. I told you, calm yourself. Trust me! Nothing happened between you and Hendra. He didn't do anything. You're not a stupid girl. You're a smart girl who always asks for permission when you leave. You know, thanks to your message we realized, you're in danger." Darren.

The man let go of his embrace. He cupped Asya's face until the girl's eyes looked right into his eyes.

"Look! It wasn't Hendra who took your first kiss, it was me!"

"You-you?"

"Yes. Do you remember when we were kids? Do you remember my birthday party and Darrel? I kissed your lips that day."

Asya's cheeks blushed hearing it. His mind momentarily forgot the incident just now and remembered the incident where Darren suddenly kissed him. A faint smile appeared on his lips.

"That's... Isn't that just a child's delinquency as a child?"

"That's not delinquency. That's what I do really. Did you forget what I said back then?"

Asya shakes. "You said, Uncle kissed aunt on the lips because aunt belonged to uncle. And you kissed me because I'm yours." Say Asya, slowly.

Darren smiled hearing that. "Smart girl! Now don't think about this incident. If you still feel like if Hendra kisses you, I can get rid of him."

"eliminated?"

"Yes. If you allow it, I'll kiss you back. That way, Hendra's ex disappeared."

"Hehehe... Now I'm sure Hendra didn't kiss me at all." Said Asya, smiling stiffly. Remembering Darren kissed her as a child, makes her also remember when Darren kissed her at a reunion. She shuddered inwardly, remembering how Darren kissed her. Darren is quite rude, and he's afraid Darren will repeat it.

"Asya,"

"Yes?"

"You're hurt. My God, Darren you're hurt." Asya cut off Darren's words when she realized there was a bruise on the man's face. Asya touched it slowly. There was no reaction Darren showed.

"Darren, you're hurt because of me."

"It's not a wound. Just a little bruising."

"Stay away. It's because of me."

"Asya, listen to me! This wound is not worth what would happen to you if I didn't arrive on time. Don't think about it, okay?"

Asya nodded slowly. "Yes." Yeah." The answer.

Darren smiled at Asya's reply. He stood up and looked at Asya. "alright. Now, go back to sleep. I'll call Aurel in the next room to accompany you." Darren said, helping Asya lie down and cover him to the chest.

"Aurel?"

"Yes. He and Darrel are coming with me, too." Answer Darren. His hands stretched out gently rubbed Asya's hair.

"Then where are you going?"

"Me and Darrel have business. Rest." Asya nodded. Darren again smiled and turned to look back at Asya. Just one step, Asya stopped him again.

"Darren!"

The man turned his head and went back to Asya. "What's up, hmm?"

"I... I want to ask you something."

"What?" Darren asked back with great gentleness.

"Did you love me long ago?"

Darren pulled the corner of his lips forming a faint smile. "At that time, there was no love but affection. Or maybe, I was in love but didn't realize it." The answer.

Asya smiled hearing that. He quickly got up and peeked at Darren's cheek.

Cup...

The girl then went back to lying down and covered her entire body with a blanket.

"Go!" Say it from under the blanket.

Darren smiled broadly. Asya made him surprised as well as smile because of his behavior.

"That's all?" Darren asked while smacking his smile.

"Yes. You go!"

"Willn't see me for a second?"

"No."

"alright. I'll go first." Darren lowered his head and kissed Asya's forehead which was blocked by the blanket. "I love you."

"Hmmm..." Asya's reply made Darren chuckle softly. The man patted Asya's head slowly, then walked out.

Asya breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the door close. He dropped his blanket. Honestly speaking, he was embarrassed that he had already dyed Darren's cheek all of a sudden.

The sound of the door opening made him look. A smile appeared when he saw his best friend coming in.

"Asya."

"Aurel." The two girls hugged each other.

"Sorry I worried you. You should come with Darren Darrel these nights because of me."

"What did you say? I'm your best friend, your brother. I should've been by your side under any circumstances."

"I'm sorry, Aurel. I am a fool! I saw the falsehood and even considered it sincerity."

"Nothing to forgive. Now, just calm down and don't cry anymore, okay?" Aurel wiped Asya's tears.

"Hm." Asya nodded.

"Now, you send a message to Uncle and Aunt. They must be very worried. They don't know what's really going on. But, the feelings of parents will always be worried about their children. Moreover, they saw our reaction earlier. They must be worried."

"Yes." Yeah." Asya moved to grab her bag which was on the nightstand. I don't know who took the bag and put it there.

Assya

Papa, I'm fine. You guys must be

worried me when I saw the exaggerated reactions of Aurel and the twins. Don'worry. I'm doing fine. We're being together. We'll stay at the hotel tonight. Tell Mama not to worry about me. You go to sleep, I'll be back tomorrow. Good night, Pa, Ma. Sweet dream.

After sending the message, Asya again put the phone. He looked at Aurel sitting on the side of the bed.

"It's almost 2 in the morning. Come, sleep. Don't teach me how to stay up late." Said Asya, rubbing Aurel's stomach.

"I slept for a while. But, it's not bad to sleep again." Aurel said, then they chuckled together.

While at the Edo residence, the couple breathed a sigh of relief after getting a message from their daughter. Irene wiped her tears, then hugged Edo again.

"Nothing happened to our daughter. Now, let's go to sleep!"

"Hm." Irene nodded then rushed towards the bed with her husband.
