ALBRA
13. A Pretty Serious Problem

“Good morning, Mr.”

“Good morning, Sir. “

“Good morning, Young master.”

Along the way to his father's room, Alan could only nod his head as almost all the employees greeted him. Alan was not used to answering their greetings, as usual he could only nod, or just pass them by. It is based on the habits of Albra. Like yesterday, Alan still had to work with Albra in the office. Albra could not leave Alan alone in Frans' apartment or home. He is still traumatized by the kidnapping yesterday.

Arriving in Albra's room, Alan walked quickly with a very moody expression, he felt annoyed at the boredom of having to continue to work with his father.

“You're angry with Papa?” albra asked as she opened her coat and hung it next to her desk.

Alan was still folding his hands, he was sitting on the sofa with his face bent. “No.”

“Then? Why does your face look angry?” asked Albra who was still asking gently.

“No, I'm not angry,” he replied.

“You want to go home Grapa?” ask Albra to see what Alan wants.

“No. Instead of me going home to Grapa, I better stay here for a hundred days,” he said as he turned his face away.

“Then what do you want? Don't make Papa angry, Papa doesn't know what you want if you don't say.” Albra spoke in a fairly high tone. Early in the morning like this, he felt his emotional energy drained with Alan's attitude that he had to understand.

Alan was silent as he folded his lips, his heart was beating very fast, not usually his papa let out a high tone of speech to Alan. “Sorry, Pa,” muttered slowly and pulled out his toy from inside the small bag he was carrying.

Alan was used to playing alone, in his mind now working, if he continued to disturb his papa, maybe his papa would be very angry with him. Alan better play with the toys he has brought.

Albra who saw Alan playing the car without passion, he rubbed his hair quickly. He feels stressed and depressed if he has to continue to take care of his child like this. Albra again felt like a failure because she could not shake her emotions in front of Alan.

He took his breath out slowly. Alan is innocent, he shouldn't have behaved like this to Alan.

Without even a word, Albra turned on her computer, about to sit in her chair, her mind still not comfortable with what she had said to Alan.

“Then how to?” muttered Albra to herself.

He also stood up straight again. It shouldn't be in the morning like this that he makes a high voice to his son. Albra walked slowly to the sofa where Alan was, and she sat in front of him.

“Alan?” call Albra with the remaining gentleness in her heart.

Alan who did not dare to look at the face of his father, he just looked down. “Ya, Pa.”

“Sorry, Papa didn't mean to yell at you,” Albra told her son.

Alan nodded. “It's okay.”

“If you want something, you just have to tell Papa. Papa can't if you have to guess the contents of your mind,” said Albra while holding the shoulder of her now declining child.

“What are you doing my grandson?”

Alan who heard the voice immediately looked towards the source of the voice, in contrast to Albra whose facial expression was already out of control.

“Why is your face moody, Alan? Grapa said you had to go home a few days ago, but you didn't come home. Have you forgotten about Grapa?” asked Frans who came with Ian behind him.

Albra now stood beside Alan, and held tightly to his son's hand.

Frans, who saw Albra a little differently, raised his eyebrows and smiled mysteriously. Ian who felt the atmosphere around him changed, he was looking for a way to melt the existing conditions.

“Pah. We have a meeting soon, there's Alan too. The atmosphere here is very tense,” Ian said with a hint of fear in his heart.

“After not bragging to the house for a few days, it turns out to have dared to play the woman behind me,” Frans said with a mysterious smile.

“No. Papa doesn't play women, as Grapa said earlier. How did Grapa know? It is not good to stalk others,” said Alan, who is now an Albra spokesman.

Ian who felt the atmosphere here was getting worse, he also gave a code to Alan to close his mouth and just be quiet.

“True like that, Alan?” ask Frans to be sure.

Again and again, Frans could only bring out his mysterious smile, extending his hand towards Ian, to ask for something from his second child. With a heavy heart, Ian also gave a tab to Frans, his father.

Frans showed the tab screen to Albra and Alan. “Who is this woman? The same woman you've been seeing lately. Isn't this the woman who saved Alan? Or maybe this woman who did kidnap Alan, and tried to take advantage of our wealth?”

“Stop, Dad! Everything Papa said was not true,” said Albra who was fed up with seeing Frans continue to exaggerate the problems.

“He's my friend, Grapa. He's good, he's not evil.” Alan replied when he saw the photo shown by his grandfather.

“Alan, syut ..” said Ian who again gave a code to Alan to be able to close his mouth.

“Grapa is talking to your Papa. Can you shut up first?” frans said with his face.

Albra, who felt the situation here getting hotter, let go of Alan's hand and gave Alan to Ian, so Ian could get his son out of here. According to him, it is not good if a child like Alan sees an adult quarrel. Albra thinks this is gonna be a big fight.

“Papa can resist emotions if there is Alan? His age is still small Pa, he does not pantes to see adult things like this,” said Albra who had confirmed if Alan out of his room.

“Papa doesn't care. He just needs to learn how to be an adult.”

“Yes, Papa doesn't need to care. But we, Pa. Ian and I, didn't ask to be born of Papa's blood and live like this!” he said it was full of emphasis.

“Bad you!” frans shouted while throwing the tablet he was holding towards the wall beside Albra.

“It's not usually you like this! Ever since lately, when Alan went missing, you've been a dissident, Albra!”

“I am an adult. I'm old, I'm not a kid anymore. I have the right to determine my life and death.”

“For the woman? You dare to behave like this to me!”

Frans was furious and almost slapped Albra in the face, but Ian came and held his papa hand that almost slapped his stepbrother's face.

“Stop, Dad! Albra knows nothing, and she's not wrong. Papa should open his eyes and know what exactly happened,” said Ian with a hunting breath as well.

‘PAK!’

One slap so hard got on Ian's face, that his body staggered to the side.

“Papa!” shouted Albra and helped Ian to stand up.

“Tau are you a child?” frans asked while holding Ian's collar. “Life in this world, you just need to learn and conquer all. You just have to be high. Understood!”

Not out of mind with the behavior of his papa who had been out of bounds, Albra also tried to keep his father away from Ian.

“Stop, Dad! Stopit! Slap me! Not the wrong Ian but me!”

Albra shouted very loudly in front of his silent, expressionless papa.

“If you behave like this, there are only two options, I destroy the woman, or you yourself destroy her.”

After she spoke like that, Frans walked out of Albra's room quickly. From a distance, Albra could see that Alan was crying in his papa bodyguard's arms.

“Pa!” albra shouted to be able to run after her son, no matter how many employees were watching them with expressions of fear. Now Albra just wants her son back in her arms.

“Papa ... Papa ..” Alan's cry sounded in Albra's ear before the elevator door closed and took Alan away from here.

Albra, who had no other choice but to run through the emergency stairs, had no doubt two bodyguards holding him back.

“Lease! Release!” shout Albra.

“Alan as his guarantee, if not you yourself who destroyed the woman.”

Frans' voice was heard behind the elevator door next to him.

Hearing that, Albra's mind was already in flames, all she wanted to do was finish off her father. Not until he went into the elevator where his papa was, the elevator door was closed and the irritated Albra punched the elevator very loudly many times while shouting.

All the employees who saw it pretended not to know and did their respective activities. They thought it was too scary to see Albra's incredible temper.
