The Sheen of Love Alzarin

Chapter 13

Alzarin's body fell to the floor. Hownot? The man he had known for 12 years, the man he had just married for corn, suddenly said he wanted to separate.

What was her fault that Dennis told her about the divorce? That was the current mind of Alzarin.

"What are you saying, Mom? What was my fault until you wanted to divorce me? If you think I've been having an affair, you're wrong, Mom. I never cheated! How long have you known me, my friend? How long?!"

In desperation Alzarin shouted. Although his body has been limp but the spirit to defend himself still he echoed. Alzarin doesn't want to be weak now.

Dennis rubbed his face rough. Want him to cling to Alza's weak body at this time. He wanted to tell me how much he loved Alza.

But the disappointment he felt exceeded all the love that had ever been present in his heart. Dennis chose to leave Alza in solitude and tears.

"We will soon be separated. And you can live with your childhood friend."

That's what Dennis said before his sturdy figure disappeared behind the bedroom door.

Alza's crying is getting worse. How could he face all this alone? In the past, there was always Dennis who accompanied him when he was sad. Alza now has to face this storm alone and without anyone. Although there could be an Arion who would be ready to be a protective wing for him.

But once again Alza convinced himself. Alza won't give a hand to Arion or anyone else. Alza will live for himself as well as the fetus in his womb.

Just like Lia told him. Alza must be strong for the innocent baby in her womb.

Alza wiped her tears. His eyes were fixed on Dennis' tightly shut door. Alza's determination is already unanimous. Alza will leave everything behind.

Alza got up with both feet. He stepped into the guest room where there were already his belongings. Ever since learning Alza was pregnant, Dennis chose not to sleep with his wife.

Alza sat on the edge of the bed. His eyelids are still wet he close to just make it calmer.

"I'll get out of here, Mom. From the beginning I should not have agreed to be adopted by the Pratama family. I only leave wounds for you. I'm sorry, Mama... Papa's..."

...***...

This morning the Nusantara Group building was filled with journalists who were waiting for Arion's arrival. Arion will hold a press conference today about the failure of his love story with Zetta.

Of course Arion's plan is known only to a few people including Falia. Falia who had arrived at the office stared from upstairs when Arion came along with Anand, the assistant.

Arion immediately positioned himself among the reporters who had been waiting for a long time. Arion remained calm with his flat face. That's Arion. The education of Johan made Arion as personal as he is now.

"Good morning by noon everyone!"

There was the sound of Arion's baritone echoing in the room.

"Today I will only give you clarification and notice without any questions from all of you."

Arion's statement made the reporters whisper to guess what Arion would say.

"My engagement to Arzetta Pratama... Is over. Because there is one thing and another. Please certain parties do not use this moment as a place to spread false news or hoaxes. If I find anyone taking advantage of this, then I will resolutely crack down on this. Thank you." Thank you."

Arion's calm and resolute voice made the reporters more stark. Plus, Arion immediately left the place after saying the thing he wanted to say. Arion walked firmly together with Anand.

And yes, Juno felt this was the best for her daughter. But somehow he is not willing if he has to release Alza for Arion.

Dennis told me he was going to divorce Alza. Juno sighed heavily after seeing Arion's press conference video.

Amalia only cries seeing the breakdown of her son's household and her daughter's relationship. Juno hugged his wife.

"Alright, Ma. We explain everything. That means God tells us that Arion is not a good man for Zetta. And Dennis' problem..." Juno paused his sentence.

"Dennis is a grown-up. He can determine his own life. If this is what's best for him, we have to support him."

The cry of Amalia grew louder. A mother's sorrow cannot be expressed in words.

Inside her room, Zetta growls with Arion's public statement.

"You two are assholes! You will not live quietly after this! Let's see it later!"

Zetta's hands clenched tightly until her handbooks turned white. From today he will no longer cry for Arion. From today there is no more Arion's name in his heart. For him, Arion and Alza are enemies in his life.

...***...

The hoopla that happened outside there certainly happened at the Nusantara family home. Johan was furious at what Arion did this morning. Johan gathers everyone while waiting for Arion's arrival.

As everyone gathered with his tense face, Arion instead looked relaxed upon entering the house.

"Good night everyone!" greet Arion as usual. As if nothing happened this morning.

"Brazed kid! How dare you humiliate this family, huh?!" snapped Johan who was no longer able to hold back his anger.

Arnis and the Sultan were silent to Johan's voice, including Falia. The girl still remained relaxed even though her foster brother would definitely be put on an all-out trial by Johan.

"I'm sorry if I did all this!" Arion bent both knees and rested in front of everyone. This time he will lower his ego.

"Arion, what are you doing, son?" Arnis is anxious to see the resigned Arion.

Johan was still flinching and did not speak anymore. He is indeed easy to subdue if the enemy admits defeat first.

"I've found the girl I've been looking for all along. Alzarin's! Found her. And I'm gonna take him to this house. Just like I promised 12 years ago."

Arnis and Sultan looked at each other. They were still confused by what Arion said. Not with Johan. Johan had already investigated all of this first.

"I hope you can take it later." Arion glanced at Falia who remained with her flat and cold face. These two brothers are exactly the same. Although not born from the same womb, but their characteristics are very similar. Not many people know that they are just foster brothers.

"Faia... You don't worry. Your position will never be replaced by Alza in this house. Because Alza's here as my wife, not my sister."

"WHAT?!"
