The Sheen of Love Alzarin

Chapter 1

"Aryans! Don't leave! Please don't bring Arya!"

The cry of the little girl was like a wind and then it hit. The little girl was very sad when her best friend had to leave her.

"Alza, don't be afraid! I'll have them pick you up later too!" shouted the teenage boy named Arya.

Name's Alzarin. Since childhood he lived in the orphanage Kasih Bunda. No one knows who his parents are. Baby Alzarin was just laid in front of the door of the parlour.

Astuti's mother, the caretaker, took care of Alzarin like the other babies who were kept there. Alzarin grew up to be a cheerful little girl. He liked many of the orphanage children including Arya.

Arya is a close friend of Alzarin's. Since entering the orphanage at the age of 5 years, Arya immediately interested in baby Alzarin and promised to keep Alzarin to grow up.

Arya kept her promise. He was always attentive and took good care of Alzarin. A family decided to adopt Arya when she was 15.

Alzarin is so sad. The 10-year-old girl had to lose her beloved friend. Astuti's mother tried to give understanding to Alzarin.

"Arya didn't leave you, son. Arya will still be able to visit you here. And also, you should be happy for Arya. Because his life will be better than it is now. One day, you will also experience what Arya experienced. You will meet a good family who loves you."

...***...

A week after the departure of Arya, Alza was always alone and had no spirit of life. Until the arrival of a family changes Alza's life.

"Hi, my name is Dennis. You want to be friends with me?"

The little man extended his hand. Dennis Pratama, the eldest son of the Pratama family who incidentally one of the donors in the orphanage Kasih Bunda.

Seeing her son's interaction with Alzarin, made Amalia, Dennis' mother, want to get to know the figure of Alza. Dennis is a hard guy to get along with. But with Alza, Dennis changed drastically.

"Pa, how about we adopt Alza? Looks like he's gonna be a good friend to Dennis."

Amalia's proposal was welcomed by her husband, Juno. "Yes, Ma. Try talking to Astuti's mom. And we take care of the adoption papers."

Amalia approaches Alza and Dennis who are playing.

"Darling, do you like Alza?"

"Like, Ma." Dennis nodded happily.

"If Alza lives in our house how? All for Arzetta's friend."

"About alza can Ma stay in our house?"

"Can. That's if Alza wants to. How's Alza? You want to stay at Aunt's?"

Little Alza still doesn't understand everything. But feeling the affection given by Lia, made Alza feel calm.

Alza nodded. "Yes, I want to stay at Aunt's."

...***...

Aryan's life is no better than Alza thought. Arya every day is throwing a tantrum because it's away from Alza.

"Grandfather lied! You said you wanted to pick up Alza! Now where's the Alzanya?" shouted Arya who had been promised from the beginning if Alza would also be adopted like him.

But apparently, Johan Nusantara, did not keep his promise. It seems Johan was only tricking Arya into coming with him at that time.

"I don't need a granddaughter! I need a grandson to continue my business empire!" johan insists in front of her son and daughter-in-law.

Johan asks the waiter to bring Arya into his room. With a cry of rejection, Arya thrashed. But no one cares.

"Pa, why force it like this?" ask Arnis, Johan's son-in-law.

"You as his parents should be able to educate him so that it is appropriate to become a member of the Nusantara family!" annoyed Johan.

"You're Arnis! Be a good mom to her! Although you can't have children, but you should have a good motherly soul!"

Arnis just kept quiet. She was filled with all the scorn from her father-in-law.

"Pa, we better adopt that little girl. I'm sure Arya will obey if she's with the girl" proposed the Sultan, Johan's son.

Johan seemed to think for a moment. He looked at the child and his daughter-in-law with a rough sigh.

"All right! You guys get him there! Act like a parent from now on!"

Arnis and Sultan finally came to Kasih Bunda orphanage. Unfortunately what they want does not happen. Alza was adopted by other families.

Astuti can't tell you who the family adopted Alza, because it's a secret.

"What about that girl? Called Falia. He just came here. Both of his parents could not afford his life, so he was deposited here. He's the same age as Alza" Astuti said.

Sultan and Arnis looked at each other. They agreed later.

"alright. We're going to adopt Falia."

"Yahoo!"

The beautiful girl looked towards the voice that called out to her.

"Mas Dennis? You're back from out of town?"

Dennis smiled happily. "Yes, I came home because I missed you..." Dennis hugged the beautiful girl who had filled his day for the past 12 years.

"Let's go home!" Dennis clasped Alza's hand gently.

Little Alza has now grown into an amazing girl. After graduating from college, Alza chose to work at the Tama Group company owned by her adoptive family.

Happiness that used to be a dream for Alza, now he can feel in real. Alza is loved by the family that adopted her. Plus the love of the man who always protects her.

Dennis decides to ask Alza to be his wife. They are engaged and soon to be married.

"How are we preparing for our wedding?"

"Umm, smoothly, Mas. Mama and Zetta helped a lot."

Dennis grabs Alza's hand and kisses her. They were on their way to the Pratama family's house.

"I'm lucky to have you in my life, Alza."

"What the hell, Mas? I should have said that. I am so grateful to have you in my life."

Arriving home, Dennis was immediately greeted by the screams of his beloved sister, Arzetta.

"When you come home, don't you tell me? Brother unfortunately only the same brother Alza only!" Zetta.

"Eits, beautiful brother. Brother also has gifts for you, and also my beautiful mother."

Both women of different generations were really happy to receive souvenirs from Dennis.

"And I also did not forget to buy souvenirs for my beautiful future wife..."

"Well, thank you so much, Mom..."

...***...

In a different part of the world, a handsome man stared at the glittering lights of the city from the balcony of his apartment room.

"Master! Is there any more work I need to do?"

"No, Anand. Go rest! Tomorrow we'll be very busy."

"Alright, Sir. Good night!"

The man with a firm temper in his cold demeanor looked back at the brightly shining lamp. Until a vibration in the phone makes it have to answer the call.

"Hello!"

"Sir Arion!" His cry made the man named Arion smile.

"What's wrong?" They make video calls.

It could be seen clearly if the girl was busy preparing something.

"Are you busy?" ask Arion.

"Yes, tomorrow is my brother's wedding day. I thought you could come here."

"Sorry, Zetta. I still have to take care of business here. Grandpa will kill me if I don't get a contract this time."

"Hmm, okay. Brother spirit yes! You remember the promise, right?"

"Promise? Which promise?"

"Ish, brother! I promise you I'll propose after I get home from there. Just be careful if you forget!"

"Hahaha, yes I won't forget. Then I'll see ya! I think I'm getting sleepy. It's midnight here."

"Yes, fine. Good night my handsome lover, mmmuuuaaahh!"

Arion turned off the video call.

"Promise?"

Arion smiled wryly. He once promised a girl something. But that promise he never fulfilled, because he lost track of the girl.
