Argan's car stopped right in front of the hotel lobby X. Alza immediately took off the seatbelt and said goodbye.
"Thank you so much for today, Bang..."
Alza looked down and came down. While Argan only watched Alza with a frown.
Alza walked slowly towards her hotel room unaware that Argan was following her behind. As Alza was about to open the room, Alza gasped at the figure behind her body.
"Bang Argan? Why come here?" tanyanya's confused.
"Pack your things and come with me!"
"Eh?"
Argan breezes into Alza's room and searches for a suitcase to carry Alza's belongings.
"Tu-wait, Bang!" Alza held Argan's hand.
"What's wrong? You need to move out of here!" firmly Argan.
Alza. Her face was adorable in Argan's eyes.
"Why not?"
"I want to stay here!"
"When do you want to stay at the hotel, Alza?" Argan held his head. "Let's stay at my house with Oma. Oma must be happy because there's you."
"No Bang. I don't want to. What do people say that I live in my brother's house?"
"Hahah!" Argan breathed a rough sigh. "All right! Just stay in my apartment. I have an empty apartment I don't occupy."
Alza thought for a moment. Then I looked at Argan. The man's face was always friendly and developed a smile.
"Yes, okay. But I'll still pay the rent!"
"What?!"
"If you're not willing to pay, then I don't want to move either!" strong Alza.
Argan relented. It's mangosteen. "Yes, yeah, all right. I'll take the rent."
Alza's smile finally blossomed. I am so grateful to have met Argan. What would he be if Argan didn't help him?
"𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙢𝙖 𝙠𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙝 𝙗𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙖𝙠, 𝘽𝙖𝙣𝙜. 𝙎𝙪𝙖𝙩𝙪 𝙨𝙖𝙖𝙩 𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙞 𝙖𝙠𝙪 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞 𝙖𝙠𝙖𝙣 𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙨 𝙠𝙚𝙗𝙖𝙞𝙠𝙖𝙣𝙢𝙪 𝙞𝙣𝙞..."
...***...
Alza arrived at an apartment that could be said to be luxurious. The complete facilities and furniture are also top class.
"Bang, this is how it is... The cost is expensive dong!" Alza bit her lower lip.
Argan laughed. "Already! Don't think about it. What matters is that you're comfortable living here."
"Comfortable?" Alza's heart wondered. Alza has always been comfortable with Argan. The man always understood himself.
"You just rest! I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
Alza nodded. "Thank you, Bang."
"Don't keep thanking me. Pay for something else."
"Eh?! Other matters? What else, Bang?"
Argan was wrong. It is also impossible for him to impose his feelings on Alza when the girl has just experienced a relationship failure.
"Ah, there is no. Forgetit! It's yes, I'm going first."
After Argan's death, Alza circulated the view staring at the luxurious room that will be his residence. Alza chose to go into the room. There are two rooms there. Alza had to choose one of them.
"I'll just use this room!"
Alza tidied up the things she carried into the closet. His eyes were on his slempang bag.
Alza remembers about her farewell letter to Arion. Alza reopened the sheet.
His eyes were dewy staring at Arion's signature right there. Is that Alza? To cry again because of an Arion? The man who betrayed his love. The man who once promised to live with him.
Alza wiped her tears. There were enough tears she let out for Arion.
Alza took the ballpoint pen, then put her signature on the paper. In this way, he and Arion officially have nothing to do anymore.
...***...
In the morning Alza woke up from her sleep and went to the market to buy food for her to cook. Today he plans to invite Argan to breakfast at his place.
"Perhaps by doing this, Bang Argan likes it more than just a thank you."
After shopping, Alza sent a message to Argan if he invited the man to breakfast together.
On Argan's side, he just came out of the bathroom and saw his phone flashing. Argan opens the messaging app and sees a message from Alza.
The corner of his lips was drawn upwards reading the breakfast invitation from Alza. Of course he'll come.
After dressing up, Argan met the oma and told her he would have breakfast at Alza's place.
"So, Alza now lives in your apartment?" ask Oma Ratna.
"Yes, Oma. He said he rented it. If no... He won't move."
"Why not just bring her here? Poor thing he lives there alone."
"If Alza wanted to I wouldn't have offered him my apartment. Maybe he still needs time, Oma. She just separated from her husband."
Oma Ratna nodded in understanding. "Yes okay. Get Alza here sometime! Oma miss him."
"Yes, Oma. If so, I'll go first! Sorry, I don't have breakfast at home."
Argan kissed Oma Ratna's cheek before leaving.
...***...
Argan pressed the bell on the door of Alza's apartment. Before long, the beautiful woman poked out and showed Argan a smile.
His face was smiling. But Argan knew, in the depths of his heart Alza was still injured. Evidently with his eyes that still look puffy. Last night Alza must have cried again, so Argan thought.
"Come in, Bang! I cooked fried rice just as well as eggs. I don't know what your favorite food is."
Argan positioned himself sitting on the dining table chair.
"I love all your food, Za. Whatever you cook, I'll eat."
Alza smile. In his heart he thanked me again.
"I think maybe this way I can repay your kindness. Although it's still a long way from what you did for me."
"Sst, Alza! I don't need anything to reply to. I just want you to be happy. That's all!"
Alza lowered her gaze. For now is not the right time to think about the heart. Alza had to take care of her life first.
In a different place, the Pratama family was also gathering at the dinner table and eating their breakfast. News of Arion and Jesly's marriage has been heard among business people, including Dennis and Juno.
"So, is the news about Arion's marriage true?" ask Lia who still cares about Alza.
"Yes, Ma." Dennis answered softly. Dennis also cares about Alza.
"Then how's Alza?"
"I heard they're divorced, Ma."
Lia looked at Juno. "Oh my God, what a pity your fate is, son. Bang, can you find out about Alza's condition? Mama wants to see him. Mama wants to give her support."
Dennis shakes. "I don't know what Alza is doing right now."
"Let's find out dong, Bang. I feel sorry for Alza."
Lia's feelings as a mother certainly can not be lied to. Lia's been babysitting Alza for 12 years. Their bond is certainly close enough.
"Enough, Ma! Ever since he left this house, he was no longer a part of this family! Mama must remember that she betrayed Dennis and Zetta. Why do you even care about other people than your own children?" Juno started to ride.
Lia finally shut up and didn't ask about Alza anymore. For her, Alza remained like her daughter even though she was not born from her womb.
At the office, Dennis began to look for ways to get information about Alza. Until finally Dennis got one way, which is to meet Falia, Arion's sister. Dennis will find out more about Alza from Falia.
On purpose, Dennis followed the activities of Falia. Until they were reunited in a public place that must have been prepared by Dennis.
"Lho's? Dennis Pratama?" Falia was surprised that they met at the bookstore.
"Oh, hi. You ... Falia right?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Dennis stretched out his hand. "We haven't gotten acquainted properly."
Falia laughed a little. "Oh, come on! We already know each other because our company is a rival." Falia folded her hands in front of her chest.
Dennis felt awkward and scratched his nape.
"Say what is necessary? I don't like stale people."
Falia with her cold attitude had returned. Falia with her piercing gaze was now looking at Dennis suspiciously.
"Mmm, here... I'm..."
"Stop! I'm sure you'd like to ask about Alzarin. Don't you?" terka Falia with a smirk smile.
"That-that's..."
"Tell me clearly, what do you want to know? I'm sure you already know what happened to Alzarin."
Dennis took a breath. "We'll talk somewhere else. How's it?"
Falia smile. "alright. Where do we talk?"
...***...
In his office, Alza thought about the future he would live. He should be able to live independently even without the support of anyone.
"𝘼𝙠𝙪 𝙜𝙖𝙠 𝙗𝙞𝙨𝙖 𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙪𝙨-𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙖𝙣 𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙜𝙖𝙡 𝙙𝙞 𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣 𝘽𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝘼𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙣. 𝘼𝙠𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙪𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙞 𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙜𝙖𝙡."
Alza opened the internet and looked for some home alternatives that he could live in.
"𝘿𝙪𝙝, 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙖 𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙡𝙖𝙡𝙪 𝙢𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙡. 𝙐𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙠𝙪 𝙩𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙠 𝙘𝙪𝙠𝙪𝙥 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙪𝙠 𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙮𝙖. 𝘼𝙥𝙖 𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙡𝙚𝙗𝙞𝙝 𝙗𝙖𝙞𝙠 𝙖𝙠𝙪 𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙝 𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙙𝙞 𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣 𝘽𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝘼𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙣?"
"What are you looking at, Za?" Suddenly Argan came and was behind Alza's back.
"Bang Argan?" Alza hurriedly hung up her phone. Alza doesn't want Argan to be suspicious of him looking for a place to stay.
"W-What's up, Bang?" Alza was suddenly nervous because Argan's body was too close to him.
"It's lunch time. Let's get out!"
"Eh? Ah, yes Bang. I was so excited that I forgot it was lunchtime. What do you want to eat?" Alza got up from his seat and stood opposite Argan.
The plain face of Alza makes Argan even more anxious. He held Alza's cheeks and moved them to the right and left.
"I want to eat you!" candelessly.
"Did?!"
