The Sheen of Love Alzarin

Chapter 17

"Come with me!"

The command line that Alza held up seemed to wake Arion from shock. He thought Alza would immediately scold him for telling Astuti's mother about their problems.

In fact, very calmly the Alza ruled to follow him. Arion immediately stepped following Alza's steps towards his room.

Arion was shocked again. "Do I have to go into Alza's room?"

"Come in! We'll just talk inside. I don't want anyone to hear us talk like last night."

Apparently after last night talking to Arion, Alza caught Astuti's mother standing by holding her chest. Alza believes that Astuti's mother heard all their talk.

But Alza remained calm and did not say anything to Astuti's mother at breakfast this morning. Alza chose to keep it all herself until she could not stand it anymore and had to talk to Arion.

"Alza, I'm sorry I told Astuti's mother about our problem. But I didn't say it first. Looks like Mom..."

"I know." Alza. "Mom heard our chat last night."

Alza sat on the edge of the bed with a glaring look.

"I don't think I can hide anymore." Alza looked at Arion.

"I agree to come with you. You said you'd be responsible, right? So, prove it!"

"Eh?!" Arion was still astonished at the word for word that was spoken from Alza's lips.

"I've signed this divorce!" Alza handed over her farewell letter to Dennis to Arion.

"Alza, here..."

"Let's do a DNA test!" Alza still remained calm and flat as she said so.

Arion really can't believe what he's hearing.

"It's not a dream, is it?"

"If it is proven that this child is your son, then I will marry you. But... If this kid isn't your son... Please let me go! Let me raise this kid alone!"

At once Arion's body rumbled and rested in front of Alza. His hands he linked with Alza's hands.

"Thank you, Alza. Thank you." Thank you." Arion kissed Alza's hands.

"I promise I'll make you and our son happy."

Alza remained silent and did not respond. I don't know if this time it's right or not. But clearly, continuing to hide would not make his life calm. Alza better face a world that will somehow ridicule him later.

...***...

Today also Alza and Arion are preparing to return to City B. Alza said goodbye to Astuti and the children's home.

There is a certain hardness when releasing Alza go. Astuti has always loved all of his foster children. Moreover, he nurtured Alzarin since he was a baby, to make their inner bond quite close.

"So always your stuff! I'm sure Arya will take good care of you. He loves you so much."

The message from Astuti made Alza's heart warm a little.

"Did Arion really love me?" That was all Alza could ask in her heart.

The long journey is by Alza and Arion. Sometimes Arion stopped at a rest area because he did not want Alza exhausted. Moreover, the condition of Alza is pregnant young.

Arion has always been quick to serve the needs of Alza. He even bought a lot of snacks so that Alza did not starve on the way.

They arrived in town B when the night had greeted. Arion smiles as he sees Alza sleeping in the car.

Arion parked his car in the basement parking lot of the apartment. Arion deliberately brought Alza to the apartment because he did not want to have a scene in the Nusantara house.

"the alza! Up, Alza! It's over." Arion patted Alza's arm.

Until the pregnant woman woke up and opened her eyes.

"Where is this?"

"I'm taking you to my private apartment. Comeondown! The stuff leave it alone. I'll have someone take her to the room."

Alza nodded obediently. He got out of the car and walked to the elevator with Arion.

The man's finger pressed down on the number 15 and the elevator began to slowly walk.

"I'm sorry I haven't brought you home yet."

"It's okay." Only a short answer came out of Alza's lips.

Arriving on the 15th floor, Arion heads to his unit numbered 1501. Arion bought the most luxurious unit in this place. He deliberately did it because this place he made as a place to unwind and tired after tired of work and also tired from the demands of Johan.

Arion pressed the key code with a number that was very memorized Alza.

"That's it..."

"Your birthday!" arion answered with a smile.

"Let's go in!" Arion gently pulled Alza's hand because the woman was still pecking at the door.

Alza was surprised. Because it's been a dozen years not met but Arion still remembers it. While Alza never remembered the friend's real name Arya.

"I'll prepare a guest room for you. You sit on the couch." Arion immediately headed to the guest room where Falia usually stayed while there.

Alza walked around and swept through Arion's entire apartment room with her eyes. Accidentally, he stared at the picture frame on the table near the TV table.

It was a photo of Zetta. There is also a photo of Arion with Zetta and also a woman who is not known to Alza. Alza's feet approached and grabbed the picture frame.

"He didn't love, but he still kept his picture. Basic man! His mouth is always venomous!" muttered Alza while staring at the photo of Arion with Zetta. Looks friendly like a lover in general.

As Alza recalled, Zetta had never brought Arion to visit home. Zetta chooses to meet Arion outside the house. Just when he wanted to propose, Arion came to the house. Alza was on his honeymoon with Dennis.

Alza's memory is re-emerging about his honeymoon with Dennis. Alza recalled that Zetta called and said she would get engaged after they returned home for their honeymoon.

"So, Arion knows where I and Mas Dennis went on our honeymoon, and then followed us? At the time, she was planning an engagement party with Zetta. What kind of man are you, Arion? How can you hurt me and Zetta at the same time?"

"Alza, the room is ready!"

Alza turned her head and put the picture frame back to its original place. Arion is surprised to see Alza who caught a photo of Zetta and herself.

Immediately Arion took a picture frame of Zetta and himself. "I'm sorry, I haven't had time to clean it up. It's Zetta's job who likes to take photos." Arion looks nervous for fear that Alza is angry with him.

But Alza's response was beyond Arion's expectations. Alza is silent and mustard.

"Oh yeah, this is Falia. He's my brother!" Arion shows a photo of Falia to Alza.

"Sister?"

"Yes, after adopting me, the Nusantara family actually wants to adopt you. But.. Because the Pratama family has already brought you, then Ibu Astuti offers Falia in exchange."

Alza. He did not expect that at that time Arion did keep his promise to pick up Alza. But Alza had already accepted the offer of the Pratama family to stay with them.

"Sorry..." I don't know why Alza should apologize.

"It's okay. Maybe this is the path of destiny that we must live."

Arion heads to the dumpster and throws away the photos of Zetta as well. Arion left only a photo of himself with Falia.

"Why banished?" ask Alza.

"Our relationship is over. Why keep it?"

"How far are you and Zetta?"

"Eh?!" Arion was confused to answer with what strand of words. Arion is afraid that Alza is angry because he has been in a relationship with another woman. Arion once promised that he would only have Alza in his life.
