Possessive Companions

Chapter 78

Asya's birthday party is over. Everyone back to their rooms. Jiyo, Axel, Darren, and Darrel stretched the carpet, sleeping in the living room. Grandpa Zarfan and Granny Disa choose to stay at the hotel, as well as Nita, Gio and Viko and their families.

Darren wakes up, making Darrel, Jiyo and Axel look at him.

"Where are you going?" Ask Darrel.

"Walking uncle Edo." The answer is, then just leave.

Darren walked towards Edo and Irene's room. He knocked slowly on the door of the room.

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

"Who?"

"Darren, uncle."

Edo went to the door and opened it. "Darren, what's wrong?"

"Is aunt asleep?"

"Yet. He's in the bathroom."

"I want to talk to Uncle and Auntie."

"Yes. Come inside."

Darren came in and sat down on the sofa with Edo. Before long, Irene came out of the bathroom.

"Darren?"

"Yes, aunt."

"Darling, here! Darren wants to talk to us."

Irene nodded. He approached them and sat down beside Edo. While Darren, he sat firmly in front of Edo and Irene.

"I want to apologize to Uncle and Auntie."

"Sorry?" Edo and Irene said simultaneously.

"Yes. I wanted to marry Asya, but I was impressed as disrespecting Uncle and Aunt as Asya's parents. I apologize for my disrespectful way of asking Asya to be my wife. I was dissolved in Asya's anger earlier. The plan, it's not like that."

Irene and Edo were silent. They know how Darren is. His attitude earlier, did not make them angry, even though they were a little unwilling their son who could be said to be proposed in an unusual way. But, they did not expect Darren to be sensitive enough and apologized for his mistake. It's beyond a doubt.

"I'm here too, wanting to ask Asya nicely for my Uncle and Aunt to be my wife."

Edo and Irene looked at each other. Darren really made them realize, there is another side to Gara's son that not many people know.

"Darren, Uncle forgave you. Uncle also granted your wish to marry uncle's daughter. Take care of uncle's daughter. You know, how Asya is. I hope it doesn't make you uncomfortable with him."

"Tante also hopes that you really love Asya with all your heart. Like a aunt's daughter's feelings for you."

"Uncle and aunt don't worry. I really love Asya."

"Yes. Uncle believes in you."

"Thank you, Uncle, aunt. Then, excuse me."

"Yes." Yeah."

Darren immediately came out of the room. Irene leaned her body on her husband. His hands were coiled around Edo's waist.

"I didn't expect Darren to be this sensitive." Irene.

"Yes. Behind his cold nature, Darren has a soft side that we don't know." Edo Timpal.

***

After coming from the room of his future father-in-law, Darren went straight to Asya's room. A smile appeared as he arrived in front of the room. There was the sound of Asya's laughter that made his heart beat twice as fast. He also heard the laughter of two other girls, which he guessed, it was Aurel and Alisha.

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

"Who?" Alisha's voice sounded.

"Darren."

"Sister Darren?"

"Hm."

"What's up, brother?"

"I don't want to talk to Asya."

"Eem, Brother Asya is asleep, Brother."

"Don't lie. I heard her laughter earlier."

"eeee... Brother Asya, don't want to talk to Brother."

"alright. I'll stay here and keep knocking on the door." Darren.

Asya, Aurel and Alisha looked at each other. It would be very noisy if Darren kept knocking on the door. Asya feels kasian to Aurel and Alisha if they can't sleep.

Asya took a breath, then got off the bed. He approached the door that Darren kept knocking and opened it.

"What's wrong?" Asya asked, looking indifferently in the other direction.

Darren did not answer. He grabbed Asya's hand, and took her away. "Come, come with me!"

"No way." Asya tried to stomp her hand which turned out to be completely detached from Darren's grasp.

"Asians..."

"Go! I'm going in." Not yet had the girl turned around, Darren directly carried her.

"Eh. Darren, what are you doing? Put me down."

"Diminish your voice, others will wake up if you shout like this."

"Darren!"

That guy doesn't care. He still carried Asya and led her to the side yard.

"Darren! Lower me!"

Darren actually dropped it off when he arrived at the side yard. Right near the long chair.

"I want you."

"I don't care. I'm going to go to the room." Asya. The girl turned and was about to step. However, Darren's movements were faster. The man immediately hugged Asya from behind.

"I'm sorry." His whisper was slow to Asya, making the girl speechless. "I didn't mean to worry you. I just wanted to surprise you. I'm sorry."

Asya was only speechless with eyes that started to glaze over. "I hate you, Darren."

"But I love you."

I can't hold back her tears anymore. He turned around and hugged Darren. Her tears kept falling, even wetting the clothes Darren was wearing.

"Next time, don't lie anymore about the accident or whatever happened to you. I'm very worried. I'm so scared of losing you. I'm not ready to lose you, Darren."

Darren hugged Asya. He peeped at the top of the girl's head many times. "I won't repeat it. I'm sorry."

Asya simply nodded in Darren's arms. The man then loosened his arms. He cupped Asya's face and wiped the girl's tears.

"Well, will you marry me? To be my life partner forever, and to be the mother of my children?"

Asya's tears fell more and more, along with a smile engraved on her lips. Slowly, he nodded his head. " Yes, I want to be your wife."

A fluffy smile was etched on Darren's lips. The man hugged Asya so tightly. He again kissed the top of Asya's head many times.

"Now, let me take you back to the room."

Asya nodded then the two left together towards Asya's room. Upon arriving in front of the room, Darren again kissed Asya's forehead.

"Good sleep." Darren.

"Good sleep too." Reply Asya, then enter the room.

Darren returned to the living room. Darrel, Jiyo and Axel are asleep. He took a place next to Darrel. Before long, he too fell asleep.

***

Everyone started to go back to their homes. Asya returns to her home with her Mom and Dad. Darren wanted to take Asya. However, Edo's requirements overnight made him stop his intentions.

Asya got off the car and walked into the house while holding hands with her mother. Edo also walked beside Irene. As the door opened, they were surprised by the rapturous welcome from the workers in their home.

"Happy birthday, miss." The words of the three women who worked as servants and the two men who worked as security and gardeners.

Asya smiled brightly. I never thought I would get a surprise like this again. A waiter pours a cake with a lighted candle.

Asya closed her eyes, uttered her hope then blew out the candle. Everyone is happy. The girl cut the cake, gave it to her parents.

However, Irene snuck a trace on Asya's finger as the girl fed Edo a piece of cake.

"Darling, what's that ring?" Ask Irene.

Asya stared at the ring that was coiling on her ring finger. "It's from Darren, Ma."

"Darren's? Since when?" Ask Edo. While Irene, she smiled seeing her daughter timidly answer her question.

"From a week ago."

"Since a week ago?" Asya nodded. "What did he say when he gave this ring?" Irene continued with passion.

"He didn't say anything. But, before this ring, Darren kept talking about marriage and wanted to marry me. I'm the one who's not ready and feels it would be quite troublesome if the wedding is done together with Darrel and Aurel. Even though I continued to resist, she never stopped expressing her wishes. But, when he gave me this ring, he didn't say that he proposed to me. He just handed me the decision regarding this ring. If I take it as a proposal, then this ring is proof that he proposed to me. But, if not, then this ring is just a gift."

Both Edo and Irene fell silent at Asya's explanation.

Darren has really prepared everything. He had even proposed to Asya before. Inner Irene.

The boy is not romantic. But, it's okay. I'm relieved that Darren really loves my daughter. Inner Edo. But...

"Wait Asya! Darren kept talking marriage to you before he proposed to you?"

"Yes, Pa. What's up?"

"You have other relationships than friendship?" Edo asked with a probing look.

Asya smiled awkwardly at her Papa. "Hehehe... Yes, Pa."

"God... Turns out we've been lying this whole time, baby." Edo said, looking at his wife. "Akhc... It hurts so much to lie to your own daughter." Edo continued while holding his chest, and expressing pain. Making Irene and her workers chuckle at Edo's behavior.

"Papa... Kok that's it. Asya, apologize." Said the girl, holding her Papa's hand.

"No apologies."

"Repeat..."

"Joking, baby." Edo said, hugging his daughter. He kissed the top of Asya's head with affection. "Papa happy, look Asya happy."

"Thank you, Pa."

Asya then took off her embrace, and switched to hug Irene. "Thank you too, Ma."

"Yes, baby."

"Oh yeah, since it's my daughter's birthday, we're all going to eat together. I'll treat you to a restaurant." Edo said to his workers.

"Waaah... Thank you, sir."

"Thank you, sir." Said the workers, smiling happily.

"Oh yeah, one more. There's good news. My daughter Asya, is getting married to Darren in three days. You prepare yourself to attend the wedding. No one is absent. Everyone must be present! Take care of your health. And pray that the marriage will be smooth, and my daughter's household will always be happy."

"Waaahh... Congratulations miss."

"Yes, congratulations miss."

"Congratulations miss. We'll definitely be at the wedding."

"We will also always pray for Miss and young master Darren."

"Hopefully the marriage of Miss is smooth as well Miss and young master Darren is always happy."

"thank you. Thank you for being so kind and for letting me. May you always be healthy." Asya Say.

"Thank you for the lady's kindness and for her prayers. We are so happy to hear this news."

Asya, Irene and Edo smiled happily. Respecting each other is a fun thing. Whether it's in people we know or in people we don't know.
