77 et again
As Aldrich said earlier, Areez was literally the center of everyone’s attention at the party celebrating George Z. White’s appointnt as Germany’s new Economy minister. Aldrich who is the direct nephew of George Z. White could only smile when he saw Areez surrounded by Laura Zeile White and her friends.
“Why haven’t you co to Germany for the past three years, Areez? Have you been very busy in Auckland?” Laura asked for the umpteenth ti to Areez who was enjoying the wine Aldrich had just given him.
“Of course Areez is busy, he is...”
“Shut up Aldrich, I asked Areez not you,” said Laura curtly.
Aldrich clenched his jaw. “You..”
“What?!”
Laura and Aldrich’s quarrel was successfully stopped by George Z White who happened to pass by, the new German economy minister stopped his daughter who had been bothering Areez for a long ti. Although not near them, but George received a report from his n if Laura tried to approach Areez.
“Thank God, we are free from the wild goose,” said Aldrich gratefully when Laura was finally invited by her father to et the other guests.
Areez chuckled. “Wild goose, Laura you an?”
.....
“Yeah, who else is it?”
“She’s your cousin, Aldrich.”
Aldrich shrugged his shoulders. “She may be my little cousin, but the fact that she’s so wild is true. She’s really really hard to control.”
“Really? But she looks cute,” Areez joked.
“Huh sweet you say, don’t be crazy! That Laura really makes a lot of people dizzy, being an only child makes her so spoiled. Everything she wants has to be done, Laura can’t hear no.”
Areez’s expression imdiately changed, Aldrich’s words reminded him of Suri. At the beginning of his togetherness with Suri three years ago, Areez was also very difficult to deal with Suri who was very wild. At that ti Suri was very rude and didn’t want to hear other people’s words, just like Laura. Rembering Suri again made Areez’s chest feel tight. Without saying anything, Areez then rushed out of the party venue into an empty garden. Being in a crowd made him unable to breathe.
Realizing that Areez left, Aldrich imdiately followed him. With great struggle, finally Aldrich was able to et Areez again who was sitting on a park bench alone.
“Why are you out? The party is just starting,” asked Aldrich breathlessly.
“Why did you co out yourself?” asked Areez back.
“Tsk, it’s you. Always like this, answering questions with questions,” said Aldrich curtly. “I ca out looking for you, and to be honest I couldn’t stay in that room for too long. The sll of perfu that the girls who attend parties wear really gives a headache.”
“Suri also doesn’t like the sll of perfu that is so strong,” Areez said quietly.
“Suri, who is Suri?” Aldrich imdiately responded to Areez’s words quickly.
Arees smiled. “Suri Mireya, that’s Mira’s real na.”
“Cough...what???”
Areez took a deep breath, slowly he began to tell all about Suri to Aldrich after all these years keeping it tight. As long as Areez had spoken, Aldrich had cursed countless tis, he couldn’t believe that his best friend had turned out to be a criminal by holding a girl whose identity was unknown.
“Initially I had absolutely no intention of locking her up, I just wanted to interrogate her. I couldn’t believe the reasons she was saying at the ti, that’s why I brought her back to Auckland for further questioning. Eventually I started to have different feelings for her. , seeing how defiant Suri was at that ti made even more eager to conquer her. That’s why I held her back and cut off her relationship with the outside world, I thought that way Suri would be able to accept slowly but until three years had passed, the thod I used didn’t work. Suri still rejects , she hasn’t opened her heart to at all. Until finally it happened, Suri managed to escape from . The thing I was most afraid of happened, I really lost her and didn’t know where to look, “Areez said hoarsely. “If I could go back in ti I would definitely start things off in a better way.”
“Jesus..I’m at a loss for words for you, Areez. I really...”
“Fuck, bastard, evil, crazy, insane.. those are all words Suri used to say to .”
Aldrich scratched his head that didn’t itch. “Forget about starting a relationship with Suri again, Areez. You’ve committed a grave cri, Areez. What if Mira ah Suri’s family I an, sue you, huh? What if they took you to court for the insane act of imprisoning a girl for years like this??”
“If being imprisoned can make Suri forgive then I accept.”
Aldrich who was already emotional then hit Areez hard in the face. “You really are out of your mind, Areez!”
Areez touched his lips which were bleeding from Aldrich’s punch, instead of being angry, Areez smiled when he realized that he was hurt. Areez is really out of his mind right now.
Seeing Areez laugh made Aldrich’s emotions even bigger, he almost hit Aarez again if he didn’t see the fresh splatter of blood that was still on the corner of Areez’s cracked lips.
“Fuck!”
With half running Aldrich entered his uncle’s house, leaving Areez alone. Realizing that Areez was injured because of him made Aldrich regret it, because at this ti Aldrich was looking for a dicine box to treat the wound on Areez’s lips.
In a short ti Aldrich returned to the garden, without asking Aldrich’s permission to imdiately treat the wound on Areez’s face. Like soone immune to wounds, Areez didn’t react at all when Aldrich applied dicine to the wound on his lips. In fact, for a normal person, he would have scread when the wound was still wet with alcohol.
“Sorry, I got carried away by emotions,” said Aldrich quietly as soon as he finished treating the wound on Areez’s lips.
“It doesn’t hurt, you don’t have to apologize to .”
Aldrich shook his head slowly. “You’re really out of your mind, Areez. You’re really crazy.”
Arees smiled. “Looks like God is punishing you, Aldrich.”
“Don’t talk anymore, we’d better get out of this place now. I have a good place to make you better,” said Aldrich curtly, seconds after Aldrich then forced Areez to leave the house of his uncle who was so crowded because the party just started.
Using one of his uncle’s favorite cars, Aldrich took Areez to a place he used to frequent with Laura when they were little a few years ago. Aldrich and Laura’s relationship worsens when Aldrich rejects the declaration of love for Laura’s best friend, who at that ti was after him, Aldrich, who had no intention of having a lover, rejected Clarinda’s declaration of love five years ago. But Laura, who doesn’t accept her best friend being rejected, decides to be hostile to Aldrich to this day.
Club Restaurant am Wannsee, 9.00 PM. Germany
Elena continues to smile after arriving at the restaurant on the edge of the pier, Elena still does not expect Christian to take her to a restaurant that has a beautiful sea view like where she is now.
“How do you like the food?” Christian asked quietly to Elena who was still watching the flickering lights of the fishern’s boats in the middle of the ocean.
Elena blushed. “The food was delicious.”
“Really? So I didn’t pick the wrong place, did I?”
“This place is very beautiful, I like it very much. Seeing the wide sea like now makes feel peaceful,” answered Elena honestly, seeing the ocean in front of her made Elena want to swim right now.
Christian smiles, he slowly takes Elena’s hand and squeezes it gently. “It’s good that you like this place, I purposely chose this place as our first date.”
“First date?”
“Yes, today we are officially dating. So in the future you are no longer allowed to travel with any man without my permission,” said Christian seriously. “And from now on you should keep your distance from any guy, especially that Jason.”
“Jason, Jason my friend?”
“Elena!” Christian growls warning. “I’m a very jealous man, so don’t ss with because you won’t be able to imagine what I would do if I was overco with anger.”
Elena smiles, she slowly pulls her hand from Christian’s grip. “I’ve experienced how rude you can be when you’re angry, so it felt like there was no need to warn again.”
Christian’s face instantly pales, his chest tight with guilt. “Elena.... sorry, I’m sorry. I was really out of my mind at that ti. I haven’t seen it for too long which made crazy, until finally I couldn’t think straight when I read the email that complained about your work. I’m sorry Elena, I promise. won’t do it again,” Christian says ruefully.
Elena pursed her lips. “It’s ok, it’s over after all. The wounds on my body too...”
“You’re hurt!!” Christian screams loudly. “Where, is your wound still...”
“It’s healed, Christ,” Elena said softly, holding Christian who was about to get up from his chair.
Christian, who was already squeezing Elena’s hands, deepened his gaze on Elena. “Is that true?”
Elena nodded slowly.
“Tell , where are the wounds you got from my madness yesterday, Elena?”
“Let’s not talk about it anymore, it’s all over and I’m fine now. Only abrasions like that heal fast,” replied Elena softly.
“Elena....”
“Wow..wow..wow...the world is really small, huh!”
Suddenly a man’s voice that was so familiar to Elena and Christian’s ears, simultaneously both turned towards the source of the sound outside the restaurant.
“Areez Floyen...” Christian hissed with emotion, he didn’t expect to et Areez so soon when he was with Elena. Even though Christian’s intention was to invite Elena to eat at his favorite restaurant in Germany to get Areez Floyen’s na out of his head, the opposite happened. Areez Floyen, the person he desperately wanted to not et, appeared more quickly.
Realizing the change in Christian’s emotions made Elena act quickly, Elena imdiately squeezed Christian’s hand. Elena doesn’t want Christian to get into trouble with Areez Floyen who is currently walking towards them with Aldrich White walking beside her.
“Hey Elena, we et again,” Areez said softly to Elena who looked so different in his eyes now. “You look very beautiful with the make up and the dress you are wearing today.”
Brakk...
Christian who couldn’t contain his emotions then hit the table with a bang before finally getting up and standing in front of Areez with a very thick hostility.
