The Sheen of Love Alzarin

Chapter 54 - His Love One, His Obstacles Many

In the morning greeting, Alza came out of the room and headed to the kitchen. As before, Alza always loved helping to prepare her family's breakfast.

"Eh, Sister Ani. What else do you do, Mommy?" Alza greets Ani, Arbi's nanny.

"This, Non. Make rice for Den Arbi."

Mangosteen alza. Alza immediately positioned herself to prepare the ingredients she would have cooked this morning.

Suddenly, Arbi's voice cried. Ani is confused to choose to cook or approach Arbi. If Jesly hears Arbi crying, it must be Ani who will be the target of Jesly anger.

"Mbak Ani just meet Arbi. Let me continue cooking."

"Really, Non? Thanks to Non Alza."

"Yes, Mother. You're welcome."

Alza took over Ani's cooking. Cooking vegetables for Arbi. Ani is a nanny. He always gives the best food for Arbi.

While stirring her cooking, Alza was surprised by a hug on her waist. Alza looked down and saw two heavy hands curled up in her queen's belly.

Alza knows who the culprit is hugging her. "Sir Arion! Please don't do this! If sister Jesly sees later she can misunderstand."

Arion even tightened his embrace. "Jesly was gone early in the morning. The alza... I miss you so much. I'm sorry I was selfish and didn't treat you well."

Alza closed her eyes. "Already, Brother. It's all over. I've forgotten everything. Now please let me go!"

"No, Alza. I'm not letting you go!"

"Ehem!"

The sound of darkness from behind made Arion and Alza stunned. Alza immediately moved away from Arion.

"Falia?!" Alza breathed a sigh of relief because it was only Falia and not her mother.

"Falia, please don't misunderstand me. I was..."

"I knew. You're innocent, Alza. He's the guilty one!" Falia pointed at Arion.

"Take a big brother's attitude towards Alza. You are no longer husband and wife. And it was her own brother who had chosen to marry Jesly. So, you better be responsible with your sister's marriage. Don't be a loser, brother!"

Not wanting to override Falia's words or cause a commotion, Arion chose to leave the kitchen. Falia shook her head slowly with her brother's attitude.

"Are you okay, Alza?"

"Yes, I'm good. Thank you, Fal."

Morning at the Syailendra family home,

Argan and Oma Ratna sat face to face while eating their breakfast. Argan occasionally glanced at the oma while preparing the words he would say.

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to say?" Oma Ratna seemed to know the strange attitude of her grandson.

"Mmm, this is Oma. It's about Alza..."

Oma Ratna looks cute when she hears the name Alza. Oma Ratna knows she can't separate Argan from Alza.

"Tell me!" reply Oma Ratna flat.

"Alza has found her real family."

Oma Ratna. "Oh yeah? How come?"

"long story. I want us to meet the Alza family. I want to formalize our relationship."

Oma Ratna looked at Argan. "Do you think Oma has approved of you?"

"Oma! Alza is not an orphan. He has complete parents. His father and mother are still alive. It's not like I don't have anyone but Oma. If anyone should disagree with our relationship, then it should be the Alza family."

Oma Ratna looks upset. "Don't dramatize! Even if you don't have parents, you see who you are! Who would dare to reject you, huh?"

Argan smiled triumphantly. "Then Oma agreed to meet the Alza family?"

Oma Ratna sighed harshly. "Well how else? You don't want to part with him either, do you?"

"At any time I won't leave Alza. I love her, Oma."

"Yes, yeah. Oma knows. It's time to get married, son. If indeed the Alza family accepts you, then... Oma can what?"

Argan hugged Oma Ratna. "Thank you, Oma. Thank you." Thank you."

...***...

In the evening, Argan prepared to go to the Nusantara family home. Until now, Argan has not told Oma Ratna if Alza is part of the Nusantara family.

Previously, Argan had told Alza that he and Oma Ratna would come to visit home. Of course Alza was nervous and happy. Finally the struggle of his love and Argan will soon end beautifully.

"Already, just let auntie prepare her dinner. You just get ready. Argan's coming soon." Arnis approached Alza who was busy at the dining table.

"It's just a little while away, Ma."

"You're this... The Argan family must really like you."

From a distance, one's sharp eyes continued to pay attention to Alza. Who else if not Arion.

"Ehem! Brother, don't mess up tonight's show. Don't make yourself ashamed of yourself." Falia quipped Arion who had been busy watching Alza.

"Whisper! Take care of your own business!" Arion melengos away.

Falia laughed amusedly at her brother's behavior.

"Basic a real loser! Already gone just feel lost."

...***...

At seven o'clock in the night, Argan's car entered the Nusantara family's courtyard. During the trip, Oma Ratna just kept quiet without asking Argan to talk.

"Oma, we're here."

Oma Ratna just kept quiet and complied. They both walked into the Nusantara family mansion.

When the door opened, Alza greeted with a fluffy smile.

"Bang Argan! Oma Ratna!" Alza took Oma Ratna's hand and kissed her with reverence.

"Please come in, Oma, Bang."

Alza invited his two special guests in. "I'll call mom and dad first."

Alza had not yet stepped up, Johan's cold gaze had already welcomed her.

"Grandfather?" Alza felt that something was wrong with Johan's gaze on his two guests.

"Finally we meet again, Ratna Syailendra."

Alza looked at the two people who were now staring at each other intently.

"Grandfather... Oma.." lirih Alza's.

"Hmm, I never thought that Alza was your granddaughter. But with me coming here, I know the truth. So I can decide on a good thing for my grandson's future!" said Oma Ratna.

"Omma? What does Oma mean?" Argan was confused by his grandmother's words.

"Argan, forgive Oma. Until now, Oma won't approve of your relationship with Alza."

"Eh?!"

Of course Oma Ratna's statement shocked everyone. Now Arnis and the Sultan have joined them.

"Good then. I will never be with you either, Ratna. You and your granddaughter better get out of my house!"

"Wait, Grandpa, Oma! Did you guys know each other before?" Argan tried to find an answer to his confusion.

"Of course, son. Oma has known Johan Nusantara who is famous for being sneaky in the business world."

"You talk, Ratna!" Johan wrath. "I've never done what you're accused of!"

"Easy! There's no point in talking about it now. Argan, let's get out of here! And from tonight, no more contact with Alza or this family!"

"But, Oma..."

Oma Ratna immediately pulled Argan's hand out of the house.

Alza who had been staring, now rushed after Argan and Oma Ratna.

"Oma! Please don't do this! If Oma has a problem with grandpa, we can solve it well, right?" Alza pleaded with teary eyes.

"That's enough, Alza. Don't make drama in my grandson's life! You and your grandfather are the same!"

Oma Ratna doesn't care about Alza anymore and chooses to get in the car.

"Geez!" Alza calls Oma Ratna, but Argan immediately prevents her.

"Dear, stop. Maybe we should talk about this next time. I promise I'll talk to Oma. Now you just go in."

Alza. "That's not gonna stay with me, is it?"

"No! Until I won't do it!" Argan kisses the top of Alza's head in love.

"Fuckin!" the screams of Oma Ratna make Argan must be willing to part with her lover tonight.

"Come in! Don't worry!"

Without being able to do anything, Alza let Argan go along with Oma Ratna. Alza walked gontai into his house.

"You heard it yourself, right? Ratna doesn't accept you as her daughter-in-law's granddaughter. So, you better give up. I won't approve of your relationship either."

After saying so, Johan went into his room. Leaving a million questions in Alza's mind. Alza's tears were shed without being asked. The sadness that he thought would lead to happiness, is now not even realized.

"Darling..." A gentle swipe of Arnis's hand disperse Alza's grief.

"Mama..." Alza shed all her tears on her mother's lap.
