The Sheen of Love Alzarin

Chapter 50

Alza has returned to his activities. The bad news about him has now dimmed. In addition, the police have also announced the suspect of spreading hoax news about Alza. Despite not naming her, the Pratama family knew it was Zetta.

Today, Lia was planning to meet Alza. At least Lia wants to apologize to Alza for the punishment for Zetta being commuted. Lia's idea to meet Alza was opposed by Juno and Dennis.

"Zetta has to accept his sentence, Ma" Dennis said.

"But, Bang... Zetta is your sister. Pah, please give bail to Zetta." Now Lia sulks at Juno.

Juno glanced at Dennis then sighed. "Papa reckon let Zetta get punished. He has to learn to be an adult. If we keep helping him, he can't be mature."

Lia was desperate. No one supported his decision this time. Therefore Lia wants to meet Alza without Juno and Dennis knowing.

At lunchtime, Lia meets Alza in her office. Lia had already contacted Alza via a short message.

Alza gladly accepts Lia's arrival.

"Mama..." Alza hugged Lia.

"How are you, honey? You look skinny. Are you eating well?"

Alza smiled hearing Lia who was worried about him.

"I'm fine, Ma. Do you want to talk about Zetta?"

It turns out that the intention of Lia's arrival can already be smelled by Alza.

"I'm sorry Zetta, Alza. He must be jealous of you. Since long ago, you guys lived together. He just wants to be like you."

Alza held Lia's hand. "I know, Ma. I can't do this to Zetta, either. But... What he did was beyond the limit. I'm hurt, Ma..."

"Mama understands. But you forgave Zetta, didn't you? He's already got his sentence."

"Yes, Ma. I've forgiven Zetta."

"Thank you, Alza. Thanks..."

...***...

In the afternoon, Arnis was waiting in front of Alza's house. Out of nowhere Arnis gets Alza's address, which is clear, Arnis wants to make sure if Alza is right is his daughter.

Actually, Arnis came to Alza's office this afternoon. But seeing Lia also being with Alza, finally Arnis undo his intentions.

Arnis himself also did not tell the Sultan if he would meet Alza. Arnis only sent a short message to her husband.

𝘼𝙠𝙪 𝙖𝙠𝙖𝙣 𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙢𝙪𝙞 𝘼𝙡𝙯𝙖 𝙙𝙞 𝙧𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙝𝙣𝙮𝙖

The Sultan himself was inexhaustible with the idea of Arnis who felt too rushed. What if Alza refuses? Or did Arnis even know his daughter wrongly?

"You're too rash, Mah..." That is all the Sultan can say.

At six o'clock in the evening, a car entered Alza's courtyard. It was Argan's car.

Alza got out of the car and saw the figure of Arnis sitting on the porch seat of his house.

"Mama Arnis?" Alza.

"The alza!" Arnis hugged Alza.

"Where does my mother know my house?"

"It doesn't matter where you know. How are you?"

"I'm good, Ma."

Arnis glanced at the man who was now beside Alza.

"You must be Argan's son, right?"

"Yes, Aunt. How are you?"

"Okay, thank you. Alza, there's something you want to talk to me about."

Alza glanced at Argan. "Let's go in, Ma."

Although it looks awkward to have to meet again with her former mother-in-law, but as much as possible Alza is polite to Arnis.

"I'll make some tea first!" Alza went into the kitchen.

"No need, son. Mama just needs to talk to you."

Arnis's hardened eyes made Alza unable to resist.

"good. What does your mom want to talk about?"

Alza. Alza. Alza doesn't want to respond to anything about Arnis's story.

"Mama is sure you are the son of the mother who was taken away Mr. Beni..." Arnis was already in tears when he told me about the pain of losing a child.

Alza remained silent. Until Argan spoke.

"Tante, is this guy Beni?"

Argan showed me a video of Beni coming to the orphanage moments ago. Argan must make sure that the person Arnis meets is the same person he is looking for.

"Yes, right. This is Mr. Beni." Arnis's crying became more and more bitter. "My son..."

Arnis hugged Alza tightly as if he did not want to lose his daughter again. While Alza, he is still silent even though there are actually many things he wants to ask.

...***...

𝘽𝙚𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙖 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙞 𝙠𝙚𝙢𝙪𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙣...

Arnis manages to persuade Alza to do a DNA test. Although she believes that Alza is her daughter, but valid evidence of their blood ties must still be clearly revealed.

And now Alza is accompanied by Argan, then Arnis with Sultan, is in the hospital for DNA sampling from each side.

Since coming earlier, Arnis has not stopped hugging Alza. He wanted to make up for the time lost as long as they were apart.

"The results will be known in two days" said a doctor.

"Without that result, Mama is sure that you are your son. The daughter that my mother gave birth to." Arnis summed up Alza's face.

"Mas... We finally found our daughter..."

The Sultan was still a bit awkward to be with Alza. Because they are only close to the father to his daughter-in-law.

"Honey, you should stay with us after the DNA evidence comes out."

"Eh?" Alza's confused. He looked at Argan. The man simply nodded in response.

"I'll think about it, Mah..." Alza answered.

After doing a DNA test, Alza leaves with Argan. They should go back to the office.

Along the way Alza was more silent. Argan occasionally glanced at his heart lover.

"Darling..." Argan took Alza's hand.

"What's up, Bang?" Alza.

"Why silence? Aren't you happy to meet your real family?"

Alza. "It's not so, Bang. I just still can't believe that I... Is part of the Nusantara family." Alza lowered her head.

Argan pulled the car over. Looks like he should listen to Alza's story first.

"The family rejected me once, Bang. Even Johan's grandfather hates me so much. And i'm... I was kicked out of that house... How am I supposed to get back there?"

Alza's crying broke. After holding out for days, Alza finally spilled all her grief in front of Argan.

Unheartened with his crying lover, Argan immediately brought Alza into his arms. Argan always makes Alza smile, now he must see Alza's tears fall again.

"Cry as much as you! I'll always be there for you to lean on."

Every word heard in Alza's ear was like an oasis in the midst of Alza's heart's arid dilemma. Yesterday he was eager to meet his family, but now he is rethinking to be with his biological family.

"Don't be weak just because people want to take you down. Now you may cry, but tomorrow you must be able to look straight ahead. Don't let them underestimate you again, Alza. You are a strong woman."

Alza broke her embrace. He wiped away the remaining tears that were still running down his cheeks.

"Alright, Bang. From now on, I'll be a strong woman. I'm not afraid of anything because there's a brother beside me. Don't leave me, Bang..."

Argan's approaching. He was the last clear circle on Alza's cheek. "I will never leave you. Believe me!"

Alza nodded. "I believe!"

The haru atmosphere that had happened now turned sweet when Argan tilted his face and placed his lips right on Alza's lips. Decapitation began to be heard in the car that was stopped on the side of the road.

Slowly but surely, Argan pinned a ring to Alza's ring finger when their lips were still clashing. Shocked by Argan's hand movements, Alza pushed Argan's body slowly.

"What is this, Bang? The ring?" Alza's confused.

"Huum. That's a sign that I'm serious about you. Accept it!"

Alza smiled happily and hugged Argan again. "Thank you, Bang."
