Since the incident a few days ago, Alea had become more comfortable around Eros. For her, Eros was no longer like a stranger and more like a friend, even though they still agreed to marry. Now Eros was driving his car to the man's parents' house, actually Alea was feeling very nervous. She wasn't good at talking to the elders, but Eros always told her to calm down.
Still, Alea couldn't calm down. She had to think about what he would answer when Eros' parents asked, it felt like she was going to have an interview for a job. They arrived at a large gate, with lots of trees around it. Alea couldn't even see his house from behind the gate."Open the door." Eros said that when a guard came over to their car. When he realized who was in the car, the guard immediately ran and spoke to someone through a walkie talkie stuck in his pocket. The gate opened automatically, Alea opened her mouth in astonishment. She just realized that the main house is very far from the entrance gate of the house, there is even a golf course spread out when they head to the main house.Alea chuckled in admiration, she occasionally glanced at Eros because she realized that Eros was not an ordinary person. Even her family's past wealth couldn't compare to that man's. Eros parked his car right in front of the main house, a house with European-style architecture that would astound anyone who saw it. This house is really luxurious, even Alea never dreamed of owning a house this luxurious. It's too good to be true!"Come on." Eros took her and stretched out his hand waiting for Alea to return his hand. Even though it was a little awkward, Alea accepted Eros's hand and held the man's big hand tightly. A warm hand that made a strange feeling now spread across Alea's chest."Eros!" Just as they stepped into the house, a middle-aged woman who looked very beautiful and elegant approached the two of them. Renata is a successful entrepreneur who owns almost all cake and bakery shops with branches all over Indonesia with a brand called Nata's. Meanwhile, his father's company, Raymond, has been continued by his eldest son, who is none other than Eros. Because it's not surprising that their family is very rich, even they are included in the richest families in Southeast Asia.From the look on Renata's face, she looked worried and worried. The middle-aged woman had also run into the arms of Eros who was her eldest son."Why didn't you say from the start that Emma and Davin did something terrible like that?" Renata exclaimed, she could not accept it because her son was treated like that by someone whose child he cared about.Eros smiled broadly, then cupped his mother's cheek. "I'm okay, Mom," he replied, and after seeing Eros smile Renata finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was happy that Eros was okay. "Then why don't you come home?" Now Renata jerked her son, she hit Eros's chest in annoyance."I wants to calm down first," Eros replied again while trying to avoid his mother's punch. He chuckled when he saw, Renata pursed her lips because she was annoyed at Eros. His mother always acted spoiled, especially with Eros because he was the first son. Now Renata's gaze turned to the girl who had been standing still beside Eros while watching the little fight between Mother and Child in front of her. Alea is a little jealous of their relationship."Eh— who is this?" asked Renata while pointing at Alea and looking at Eros asking for an explanation from her eldest son."Let's talk about it inside, Dad is there, right?" Renata just nodded her head, she occasionally looked at Alea and made the girl lower her head in embarrassment. Eros, Alea, and Eros' parents sat across from each other at the dining table. Alea ate her food with gusto, seeing Renata secretly smiling happily."Come on, eat a lot," Renata said to Alea, because she was embarrassed, Alea just nodded and went back to eating her food. Eros was also happy when his mother treated Alea as well as possible, even though he had not introduced her to his mother and father."So?" His father cleared his throat, after they finished eating the atmosphere became awkward again. Alea realized that the aura that was coming out of Raymond, Eros' father was very scary. He shuddered, while continuing to lower his head not daring to look at her again."I will get married asap, with the girl you have seen. Azalea," Eros explained. Unlike what Alea had imagined that there would be a fight when Eros said it, it turned out that Raymond just sighed and nodded his head, while Renata had already closed her mouth. opened in surprise at what his eldest son said."It's up to you as long as it's not like yesterday," Raymond said resignedly, the middle-aged man now glanced at Alethea and again nodded his head."Isn't it too fast, Eros? You just failed to get married." Now it was Renata who replied, she didn't want Eros to rush anymore. But Eros shook his head, for some reason he felt he had to get married soon. For some reason he wanted to take revenge on Emma and Davin and the people who belittled him, he wanted to prove to them that he couldn't be fooled and could find a replacement for her quickly. Seeing Eros clenching his fists, Alea realized that she was only used as proof and revenge for the people who had betrayed that man.Alea lowered her head again. True, she also used Eros to get rid of Mr. Adam. So let Alea think they have used each other. "So your name is Azalea?" asked Renata suddenly, Alea raised her head and looked at Renata while nodding her head firmly."Y-yes, Madam." Hearing Alea's answer, Eros' parents laughed loudly. Alea is very funny, because she calls Renata 'Madam'. "Just call me Mommy, soon i'll be your in-laws," Renata said, aware of her ridiculous behavior, Alea also chuckled because of embarrassment."Alea, are you working or studying? You can see that you are still very young," Raymond said, for some reason he had liked Alea since the first time he saw the girl. Even though they had only met for a few minutes, Eros' parents believed that Alea was a kind-hearted woman. Even so, they felt something strange between them. Not like a couple who are about to get married."I study veterinary," Alea answered shyly, everyone at the table was amazed to hear Alea's answer. Even Eros just found out that Alethea's dream turned out to be a Veterinarian, this foreign girl is truly unique."Why?" asked Renata, rarely did she meet people interested in becoming veterinarians, usually people with noble hearts who dreamed of becoming veterinarians because they had to work voluntarily."Why not become a general practitioner?" Raymond asked, still curious about the girl's reasoning. Whereas for financial problems, doctors in other fields are more financially secure."I prefer animals than people." Even though the reason seems ridiculous, Alea really likes animals more. Since childhood, it has been a must to visit the zoo once a week. Since Alea was not good at socializing with other children, she played more with her beloved dog.Until her beloved dog had to die because of her illness, Alethea felt very sad because of that she was determined to become a veterinarian."You are very unique, aren't you," Raymond said while laughing again, Renata also laughed. Seeing his parents who were happy, Eros looked at Alea who was still embarrassed and chuckled a little. Eros stretched out his hand and clapped Alea's hand from behind the table, making the girl immediately turn to Eros."Good job." Eros whispered while smiling broadly. Alea won the hearts of her parents naturally, the girl didn't even try at all. Alea smiled too, lowered her head again when she felt her cheeks heat up from the smile Eros gave her."Mom's home!" Alea shouted as she stepped into her apartment, followed by Archi who had the goal of meeting Alarik and having dinner together. "Alea, we want to eat—Archi is there too," Eros said a little confused by Archi's arrival. Archi waved his hand greeting Eros awkwardly. "Aci!" Alarik came out of his room and ran to Archi, the boy stretched out his arms asking to be picked up. "Aci, do you know?" asked Alaric, the boy looked at Archi seriously. Exasperated, Archi also looked at Alaric seriously, and waited for Alaric to continue what he said. "What?" "Al has a father now." Alaric pointed at Eros who was standing not far from them, with a forced smile, Archi nodded his head in understanding. "Ah yes, what do you want for dinner?" asked Alea, trying to change the subject. "Wanna make chicken soup? Alaric has to eat nutritious food right," Eros said, he felt the atmosphere was even more awkward, so he tried to divert it as much as possible with Alea. "But Al wants
They arrived at Alea and Alaric's apartment room, Eros put the boy to sleep in his room and returned to Alea who was still busy unpacking her bag. "I will return to my hotel now," said Eros, but Alea quickly held his hand so that Eros would not leave. "Are you sure you want to sleep in a hotel? Won't you just stay here?" Alea asked a little nervously, she was afraid that Eros would think he was ridiculous for asking her to stay over. "Can I stay here?" Eros looked at Alea seriously, he was afraid to make Alea and Alaric uncomfortable with his presence in their apartment. Alea smiled while nodding her head slowly, "Of course, Eros. You're Alaric's father," she answered. Alaric's father? Eros furrowed his brow in confusion, so he was only considered as 'Alaric's father' and not Alea's husband anymore? Does Alea no longer think of Eros as her husband, because they've been separated for quite a while? But still! Eros had not signed the divorce papers given by Alea at that time,
"Daddy!" screamed Alarik when Eros had just stepped into his inpatient room, Alea turned around briefly and greeted him with a smile, the woman seemed to be busy buttoning the shirt Alarik was wearing. Hearing Alaric's call to him, of course Eros felt happy. He did not expect that this simple call could color his life and make him very happy. Alaric didn't seem to mind calling him that for a relatively short time, perhaps because he was still so young, and was very happy when he realized that he too had a father, like his other friends. "How is it? Al is ready to go home?" asked Eros while crouching in front of Alaric and taking over Alea's work. Alea was a little surprised, because Eros suddenly pulled her hand gently, and motioned to Alea with a smile so that Eros would do it. "Let me do it," he said briefly, Eros' eyes were now shifted to Alaric. "What are you going to do? After you get home." Hearing Eros' question, Alaric thought for a moment, then before long his smile
I don't know since when, Eros has been standing in front of Alarik's inpatient room. He did not have the courage to meet Alaric, his son. Admitting it, for some reason Eros now felt very happy. Meeting Alea again and apparently having a son who is truly his flesh and blood, made Eros not believe it, he thought everything that happened yesterday was just a dream. But when he peeked into the glass at the door of the inpatient room, Eros saw Alea, his wife who he missed so much and also a boy with a face exactly like himself. Bracing himself, Eros pushed open the door and reflexively attracted the attention of Mother and Child who had been engrossed in chattering, Alea looked at Eros' arrival and smiled. "Uncle!" called Alarik with sparkling eyes when Eros came into his room. Eros breathed a sigh of relief because the boy's health was getting better. He also looked at Alaric, smiled and waved his hand, greeting Alarik. "Why is your smile not look scary anymore?" he asked innoc
Since last night, Laura had been packing her things with non-stop crying. Indeed, he had given up on the departure of Eros, who was trying to restore his relationship with his wife, who was still alive. But still, the incident at the hospital was like a nightmare for her. She really didn't expect that this kind of painful thing would happen to her, even though she had accompanied Eros for the past 3 years. It wasn't Eros who was wrong and evil here, Laura also felt guilty for having forced her to accompany that man— who clearly never considered Laura's presence, if Laura hadn't asked her yesterday, Eros would not have proposed to her until now. Laura sat on the floor of her hotel room, she was still sobbing. If only— she didn't take Eros on vacation to LA, maybe now that man would still be her. Her mind is now quite selfish, but Laura's heart is not well now, and being selfish is a natural thing for people who are sad. After all, who wants to be sad and let their man chase anot
Laura and Archi were immediately confused, because Alea and Eros apparently knew each other. In fact, they look more than familiar. Eros looked at Alea with teary eyes, which Laura had never seen so emotional. The stiff and cold Eros that I had seen for 3 years suddenly changed in an instant. "Alea," he called softly, Archi looked at Alea, waiting for the reaction of the woman standing beside him. Same with Eros, Alea also looked at him with teary eyes. They looked like two people who had to be separated after a long time and only just met again— wait, Archi just realized. Alea came here because she had to leave her husband, and Eros once said that he had been married. Archi took a step back, he was not ready for this situation. "Alea," Eros called again, ignoring Laura who incidentally was his fiancee, Eros ran towards Alea and hugged his wife tightly. He was crying sobbing as if he didn't expect that Alea was still alive, he thought Alea was gone. Of course Alea returned
