Alan who was still loyal to be on Bianca's side gasped in shock when he felt Bianca's finger move for a while. His eyes stared fixedly. For five hours Bianca was unconscious. Either because his body is tired or indeed Bianca herself is reluctant to open her eyes. Alan could only hope that he could stare back at the woman's brown iris.
“Eungg...” Bianca nodded slowly. Cold sweat washed his body again. And made Alan swiftly take a small towel to wipe the sweat on his wife's body.
“Bianca.” Alan said softly. His heart was sliced back as he stared at the weak body of the woman.
Bianca who was already half conscious immediately opened her eyes when she felt the atmosphere around her so quiet. His eyes moved quickly to observe the surroundings.
“Alan!” Bianca shouted softly as she got up in a sitting position. He heaved a sigh of relief when he found out that he was currently in Alan's room.
“Bianca.” Alan who had just returned from the bathroom after picking up a new small towel, immediately ran over to Bianca. He quickly clasped Bianca's hand while holding her cheek. Make sure that he is not looking wrong at the moment.
Alan fell on the floor of his room. Both knees felt weak. Especially when Bianca's brown irises look at her sadly. While his lips were still tightly closed.
“I'm sorry.” Alan spoke softly with his head bowed. A sad tone was clearly heard in his words. He also did not dare to look at Bianca.
Bianca still flinching. To be honest, right now, he didn't know what to say. Such a great fear he still felt. But seeing Alan rest in front of him while apologizing, more heart-wrenching. It makes her feel more sick than Rico did to her.
“I'm sorry.” Alan spoke again. Both of his hands tightly clasped Bianca's hands.
“I'm waiting for you.” Bianca finally said. His brown iris stared at Alan's head fixedly.
Quickly, Alan looked up so as to make their gazes collide. And Alan could clearly see a trace of sadness within his female eyes.
“Day-days, I keep waiting for you. Hope you're quick to pick me up.” Bianca. His tone sounded bitter.
“Day-days anyway, I have to endure the fear and also the pain. With hope, you will come soon.” A drop of clear liquid fell down Bianca's cheeks. He could no longer hold everything.
Alan quickly got up from his seat to grab onto Bianca's weak body. Hugged it tightly.
“Sometimes, I think, what if it turns out you'll never come? What if you don't care about me? While I no longer have anyone.” Bianca finally sobbed in Alan's arms. His hand hit Alan's arm weakly. As if asking the man to let go.
Alan did not comply. He again tightened his embrace on Bianca's body with his mouth still tightly closed. Deliberately letting Bianca spill and vent everything she feels.
“Why are you still quiet, huh? Do you really not care about me anymore?” Ask Bianca.
“I care about you. Very.” Answer Alan. Her hand gently stroked Bianca's black mane.
“Then why didn't you come to save me?!” Bianca screamed angrily as she thrashed around in Alan's arms. His heart ached as the man let him be tortured for days by Rico.
“You know, Rico almost did something really bad to me and made me think, how–what if you no longer want to accept me. No longer want me by your side. And in the end dumped me like my parents did.”
Bianca could no longer imagine what it would be like if Alan chose to throw himself away. Throwing him off the streets like a useless thing. Even to the point of having to end up being a striped-nose man.
“No. Don't say it like that. Need you. I want you to stay by my side.” Alan said steady while releasing his embrace. Her jet-black iris stared fixedly at Bianca.
Bianca realizes she can't fall into Alan's snare. But really, he could not distract her when he found the man looking at her with tenderness and honesty.
“Please, never say that.” Alan said softly. Right now, in Bianca's eyes, Alan looked so fragile. Things Alan never showed to anyone.
“You know, I'm tormented every day, too. Imagining what your situation is like makes me unable to think normally. All I can do is stare at your picture and remember your voice when talking to me.” Alan spoke in a loud voice. It was only right if the two of them were both tormented during this time.
“Bianca, I'm sorry. I don't know if everything related to you turns out to make me so weak. So helpless.” Alan spoke in frustration as he bowed. He dared not look at Bianca.
“What do you mean?” Bianca didn't understand.
“You know very well what kind of life I live. Being a successful entrepreneur is not easy. I have a lot of enemies out there who don't like my success. And they often do something unexpected. That's also why I hid our marriage.” Alan spoke in one breath. Now he looked at Bianca. Hopefully, the woman will understand what she feels.
All this time, anyone who knew Alan, knew very well what the man's life was like. Women and alcohol are nothing new to Alan. Even business associates or those who consider him an enemy, know that Alan always brings different women to sleep with him. Therefore, Alan never took a headache when in public, he was friendly to Bianca. Because, who knows him must think that Bianca is only one of the many toys.
That was why, when something happened to Bianca, Alan could not move right away. He was afraid that his enemies out there would find out and would use Bianca as a means to destroy him. And what's worse, if Bianca gets hurt just because of her.
“And you think I'll let you get hurt for acting rashly? For a few days I had to hold myself back. Working with the police is not the right choice. Because sometimes, they actually betray by taking the opportunity.”
Bianca still didn't say anything. Now, he just wanted to listen to all of Alan's explanations. Then decide what action he will take.
“I should always wait until sure if no one is watching me. Letting you get hurt because I'm not what I want.”
“And you think I want it too? Letting you be a killer just because of a woman like me?” Bianca again imagines Alan blindly hitting Rico. It even made Rico unconscious. Bianca believes that if she does not stop Alan immediately, the man will without a doubt continue to beat Rico's body and is lifeless.
“I'll do anything just for you. It doesn't matter if I have to kill.” Said Alan coldly. His face again exuded a hostile aura.
“Thank you for coming for me. He came to save me. And keep me by your side again.” Bianca returned to tears as she sobbed. He immediately grabbed Alan's body and spilled everything in the man's warm embrace. Bianca is grateful, because Alan came for her before Rico went too far.
With a slow motion, Alan immediately pulled Bianca's body from within his arms. Both of his hands cupped the woman's cheeks full of tenderness. Their eyes returned. And Alan can no longer lie to himself if he misses Bianca.
“I miss you.” Alan Whisper. Bianca did not answer. His heart suddenly skipped a beat in there.
“I ... also miss you.” Bianca finally spoke honestly. He also cannot lie to himself. He missed Alan very much. And being near the man made her feel comfortable.
Bianca shuts her eyes when Alan lands a long kiss on her forehead. He could clearly feel Alan's feelings through the kiss.
And Bianca could no longer dodge, if little by little, she liked Alan. Or maybe, without him realizing it, Alan had managed to have a special place in his heart.
“Let me hug you.” Alan whispered while pulling Bianca's body to lie next to him. Alan rests Bianca's head on her arms while her free hand she uses to hug her possessive body. Bianca smiled, then hugged Alan back.
And before Bianca closed her eyes again, she felt Alan's kiss on her black mane.
Without Bianca noticing, Alan stared intently at her tightly clenched hand. The corner of his lips grinned eeriely.
“I'll make you suffer.” Alan muttered before finally closing his eyes. Falling asleep in a position to hug each other.
