In the mansion that had many servants and also loyal people under the orders of Zates, made Merry feel very boring because he was confined to a luxurious palace wall that he could not do anything, he said, even Merry feels awkward to go out and act relaxed because they are treated like a host they appreciate. Rather than looking at the courteous friendly attitude of the Zates servants, he preferred to be in the room to busy himself rather than having to get out of there.
Since this morning several servants have been alternating in, either to tidy up and take some dirty clothes, or bring food and some snacks, he said, as well as filling the wardrobe with new clothes, of course, the limited edition and the best quality of the world's designers, and they did not forget to replace the Lily flower on the nightstand with a transparent glass pot containing water, making Merry quite sure this room is the setting where Zates wants.
Merry flicked the window curtain translucent to the outside, his eyes reaching out to the green foliage with some fragrant flowers in the front garden, Merry lowered his head to look down, looking down, of course his eyes accessed a garden cleaner who was giving fish food in a small pond in the park, even Merry's eyes glanced at the waterfall that was deliberately made as a prima donna when looking at the park, at least a pretty beautiful sight to enjoy from the bedroom window.
Merry did not understand why Zates had left him so long without returning, until the boredom began to be felt by Merry, he repeatedly read several collections of books that were deliberately provided in the room, he said, still Merry saw everything at a glance, because everything was open it had become a reading book on the bookshelf owned by him, so that Merry could read one fan and know the conclusions in the book. Some of them discuss Business Psychology, Consumer Psychology, and even Business books from various leading people in the world, which may be among them well known by Merry.
The sound of the door shifted Merry's eyes to look, he who had been crouched in front of the bookshelf climbed the view while looking at Zates awkwardly glancing at him, he said, while the man was still standing in the doorway to reach out his gaze towards Merry, Zates learned that Merry was busy, so Zates felt a little awkward to disturb the woman who was busy with her activities.
“Is there anything you need?” Merry asked as he broke the silence between them, making Zates open the whole door while hesitating to step inside, until the man placed himself in the room before telling the answer he had wanted to convey.
“No! Am I bothering you?” Asked Zates with a tone of understanding, to make Merry shake his head with a glance. before getting closer to the man, Merry had not stopped in front of Zates, the man instead passed from his upright position, up to say while then when walking towards the direction of the bed “Let's talk”
Zates sat down in a calm manner, as if deliberately ignoring Merry who had the initiative to approach him just now, looking at Zates' different behavior, making the woman turn her body with a probing gaze, he said, what was with the man just now, but rather than questioning the confusion, Merry chose to sit in a chair near Zates.
“What's up?" Merry continued with a cold sentence, as if he felt unacceptable with the man's attitude towards her. Wasn't Zates so good and also brought himself closer to brashly without Merry wanting, but this time Zates instead acted indifferent as if deliberately ignoring him.
“It's about Airyn!”
Instantly, Zates' words made Merry glance with a sharp gaze at the man, as if demanding an affinity so that Merry did not misunderstand “The reason why I brought you to meet me, I thought you knew it already, didn't you. Of course, the reason for that is because I want to introduce myself and explain what happened. But I've been thinking about introducing myself to Airyn for some time. Because I feel that Airyn is not as strong as I imagined” he told Merry with a serious look, making the woman frown demanding clarity.
“Born they're home. Hansell's expectations didn't disappoint, and he was a step beyond what I had imagined. Hansell knew about myself as Zaterius, but it seemed Hansell did not know about our past relationship, and my relationship with Airyn, but I felt that this would not last long, because Hansell will find out in the near future if we stay hidden like this. It's just that in contrast to Airyn, I don't think Airyn would have been able to accept this if she had known the truth, because I got a report from Dorbin about Airyn's attitude that was so different from what I had imagined, even though she was horrible and always showed power, he said, it is solely because of the image that he had to build. Airyn could not even predict anything and she was like a person who always took refuge behind her husband, even though Airyn had not been such a girl. This is a sign that my daughter has a weak heart and may get hurt easily. If we give facts about the chaos of the past, do you think Airyn will be able to accept that? Moreover, what hurt him was not someone else, but his own biological father. Do you think Airyn would be fine after knowing that Louis was not her real father but me?”
“No!! As I said at the beginning. Airyn will not be able to accept this crazy fact, and I believe that Airyn will be very hurt if she turns out to be played by us. Although there is a reason behind it all, all of those reasons are only impressed as self-defense is not a clarity. It's too late to tell Airyn the past. So the best at the moment cover it up to akir”
Just as Zates and Merry fell silent, he strongly agreed with Merry's words and that also included his current wishes. Although at first Zates wanted to tell Airyn about this fact, but seeing the weak attitude and also the attitude of Airyn who could not understand the situation made Zates think, if the plain side of Airyn is very domineering, she became clever and terrible simply because of her influence and also power, if not having it all Airyn like meaningless and having nothing, she was like an ordinary woman who was very easy to hurt. But Zates let go of this, by not telling Airyn about herself, and letting her be happy with her life.
“I agreed to cover this till the end, but I only want one thing from you”
“What?” merry asked as he stared at Zates.
“Stay by my side for a while. Because if you go back to your original position it's very dangerous Merry. However you understand the relationship between James and Jilixing, you also know not if they become a troublemaker between me and Airyn, so you can be sure that you too will be their target. Added to this they conspired to injure Airyn and take her down secretly, making your presence near Airyn will provoke them to play aggressively. The nature of James who loves Airyn so much, will make a new hell for our daughter if they succeed with that goal. That's why we must thwart any means to keep Airyn safe without knowing anything. If you stay by Airyn's side it will make Airyn know the truth about me, sooner or later. However we will keep in touch and cooperate, so the best option for now is to stay away from Airyn, and make some distance to think of a plan to protect her from behind”
“You know Zates, I can't leave Airyn. I couldn't get away from Airyn's side, but she was with me as a child. And it's very certain that Airyn will feel lost if I choose to go from her side”
“Then how? Do you want to be with Airyn, and make Airyn aware of this fact. If you want so I don't mind, but are you ready to see Airyn get hurt over the fact about us”
Silence stretched, as if Merry had no other choice, many times he thought. Burying deeply in the existence of Zates is the right choice so that his daughter is not injured, but on the other hand Merry can no longer be together with Airyn, and must work together to block the threat, so what should Merry do.
“Think what you choose. I really hope you choose based on your own desires not my coercion. But anyway I really hope we can work together to protect Airyn”
Just now Zates wanted to get up from there because he had to take care of some work, suddenly Merry clutched the man's arm tightly.
“I will work with you” softly with tears slowly starting to harden, as if the choice to stay away was like a sudden pain in the bath, he said, what Merry can do besides wishing the best for Airyn, is not everything that happens due to her own fault that is too selfish to want the happiness of yourself in the past, without thinking about the person by his side let alone his biological daughter, he was too busy staring at one point to not realize how many points had been missed, if all this was Merry's fault, he was too busy staring at one point until he did not realize how many points had been missed, is it still appropriate for her to be selfish and survive on Airyn's side.
“Merry, are you aware of your choice. Staying away from Airyn is the same as leaving your life with Airyn, you have to return Airyn to her original position. And you have to fight for a long distance with him. Are you sure for that”
Zates asked once more, as if he was enduring the pain of the displeasure felt by Merry.
“A-I'm sure” replied to Merry in a blocked voice, as if he could no longer hold this for longer, until a warm hug from Zates was dropped to calm Merry down, made the woman cry inside the man's arms.
“I promise I'll return these tears. I will repay those who have tormented your life. And make choices in our lives. I promise” inner Zates with soreness when Merry's disobedience hurts too much, however much she is as hurt as Merry, but based on the tender feelings that a mother has, she said, making Zates can feel how grievous Merry's heart will be a choice that must be convinced.
“Is everything going to be okay. Will Airyn be happy” moaned Merry as she pulled up the fringe of Zates' shirt as if asking for an answer to the man, of course Zates rubbed a tear on merry's cheek, he might not be able to say "yes" but Zates promises to make everything okay, bringing back happiness to Merry and her daughter.
"I'm going to do nothing to disappoint you" Zates said in a gentle speech, hugging Merry to calm her down before leaving a swab on her back.
****
A month had passed after Airyn and Hansell had returned home, of course Angel and Dikra were already with them, so did Darrel and Frada who always work together for Airyn after Merry resigned for unreasonable reasons.
Even so there were still her confidants who did not even leave Airyn, making the woman not expect that they would still survive by her side. Airyn was quite touched by the struggles Darrel, Frada, Dikra, and Angel had it not been for them, maybe the company has experienced significant efficiencies and also make it difficult for Airyn to rotate capital with funds that have suffered losses, how happy Airyn when watching them work hard day and night, he said, suddenly seeing Airyn and Hansell coming, everything came back to the way it was.
Hansell and Airyn move into their long-built mansion for his wife, who would have thought that the man chose a lowland in the water area so that the view from inside the house can penetrate the beach in the back window, in addition, the house built by Hansell with fantastic funds is not too big but very simple with a classy style that may not be outdated, because being in an elite area with architecture that has quality does not make them eliminate simple existence. Even so still shades of white used as a color setting in their new home, until the Classical European style in combination with the Modern America which is a favorite of Airyn, until the Classical European style in combination with the American Modern, in addition, the places in the house dominated his wife's favorite, so as to provide various places of departure Miss Petrov, both from the room SPA, Cinema, Gym, where, and the garden area as a BBQ place that is suitable for the night.in addition, in the back garden is equipped with a swimming pool and also a lotus flower garden in the pool, and, not to forget also Hansell made a kitchen that is quite luxurious with a variety of kitchen equipment that is not tanganggung-stage until very complete, considering his wife is very fond of the world of cooking.
Airyn was busy processing food for her husband, of course there were Angelina and Dikra there, who were so busy playing their online games, while Hansell was still busy as usual, take care of work problems and late communicating with colleagues.
Suddenly a housekeeper brought two guests to the inside, who would have thought that the ones who came were Frada and Darrel, even made Airyn stunned when Frada used a slightly feminine clothes from her usual self. Not Airyn alone, Dikra who knew Frada long enough was just as silent about the woman's change.
“Dikra why did you stop, look at the enemy destroy our headquarters” Angel chatter so frenziedly hit his girlfriend, he said, even so upset Angel did not realize if Dikra was looking silently at the woman who was suddenly in front of them.
“Dikra...”call Angel once again with a look of anger, how could not the man dare to look at another woman in front of him until a blow to the back of Dikra's head made him realize “Do you want me to decide!!” chirping Angel threateningly, when sharpening both eyes towards Dikra, made Airyn smile as if she could not stop seeing Angel's worrying and always childish behavior.
“Is this Miss Frada” greeting Airyn when staring at her two guests.
“I think you're very pretty. If I were a man, I might be stunned to see you act charisma with this feminine style” Airyn passed by leaving Frada and Darrel to enter Hansell's workroom covered in transparent glass with soundproofing inside, although lively whatever the circumstances out there, it still does not distract us if we are in the room. Because it has been designed so attractive for the impression of a versatile home.
“Darrel, why are you dressing up so formal? Do you want to go party?” angel asked when folding both hands towards Darrel who had worked with his brother.
“Can be said so. Would you like to join our Miss Angel” bargain Darrel towards Angel who is so possessive hugging Dikra's arm.
“No!! It seems like my boyfriend needs a punch, because he can't get his eyes off the woman's hina” blatantly, making Frada smile wryly at the words of the spoiled woman.
“Sorry Young Miss Angelina Hamillton. Why do you have to talk about your boyfriend staring ugly at me. I don't think I'm the one who teased him, the eyes of your girlfriend who is shameless” snorted Frada who does not want to lose to Angel, somehow since knowing Dikra's girlfriend, Frada's annoyance began to peak, Frada's annoyance began to peak, not only to his annoying partner, but his girlfriend who is far annoying.
“It seems you think yourself too highly Frada. You alone attract the attention of others, how can you even act otherwise. You dress so weird that's not to show other people, why you have to be upset at my boyfriend” Dikra protested instantly while defending Angel.
Making Angel proud when the man defended himself, while Frada was eager to punch Dikra with full force, while slamming his body against the wall until it was smashed to avoid talking again, he said, but considering herself using a dress that curves beautifully slim body, making Frada try to control her emotions that are felt to be struggling. At least the adult Frada had to budge with those two childish couples.
“Frada. Just let them just kidding” calm Darrel when touching Frada's shoulder gently, making the girl gasp as if her cautious attitude was lit up to brushed off Darrel's hand unexpectedly, making Angel and Dikra chuckle at the behavior of the women's bars, even taunting Darrel who was so proud to calm Frada.
“It seems your conversation is too interesting. Did you guys come to my house just to make fun of each other” broke up Airyn who just joined Hansell.
Of course Airyn called Hansell to take her to dinner, but seeing that Darrel and Frada were there in formal attire was like attending a party, making the man stay silent beside his wife while hugging Airyn from behind.
Airyn looked at Frada and Darrel to demand an explanation “Speak in the living room” continued the woman as she led the steps, inevitably Hansell also participated there.
Making Frada and Darrel follow Miss Petrov's steps, because he felt lazy to serve the two annoying creatures.
“Have you found Mr Zaterius?” Airyn asked Darrel and Frada to round Hansell's eyes but managed to hide his shock.
“Already Miss, at the auction tonight we got word if she will attend, I don't know if I can get her to work with Tander this time. But I think as a mysterious Investor who continues to support you, he will be able to work together. But I don't know why for many years he didn't take advantage and didn't want to go to the Board of Directors in the APV Group. It seems very unlikely there are entrepreneurs who want to spend a lot of funds but do not want more change" just a moment Darrel stopped while heading towards Airyn.
"Either, I used to always question this, but according to Merry the person is not an arbitrary person.he will want to cooperate as long as his privacy is also maintained and not disturbed. As a result of I also need him, I hold the principle between us, not to want to know more. But forget about how he is, I'm more interested in you. Are you sure you can find him tonight"
"I'm not too sure of this success, but the opportunity should not be ignored, that's why I will try to do my best. So I will talk carefully while inviting him to cooperate later, if I can ask for documents that you have obtained a few days ago, he said, so when talking to him not out of context” said Darrel, of course he attended the auction event Frada, however Frada is smart enough to recognize something and track the whereabouts, as if he was a search engine that could not be doubted his knowledge in the world of computers and networks.
“Wait a minute” Airyn called her waitress who was standing in the back so that the man approached Miss Petrov immediately “Pak, please bring the file in my room” he said in a low command tone, make the man do what Miss Petrov wants, while Darrel and Frada chat about some things with Airyn and the faithful Hansell being good listeners.
After the document came, Airyn immediately gave it to Darrel, and the man received it with his bare hands, and look at some things from the outside before closing it back “Thank you Miss Petrov I will do everything well” they say goodbye to leave before Airyn and Hansell pass from the living room.
Airyn was busy serving food to her husband, as well as Angel and Dikra who were still struggling and arguing, as if Hansell had two pairs of younger brothers and sisters, until he felt that the two people were not like a normal couple, but an enemy that could not be separated.
After finishing with their dinner, Hansell and Airyn return to the room, while Dikra has to go home and Angel returns to his room. Airyn, who has used sleep pajamas, is polishing herself with cosmetics that are suitable for nourishing the skin at night, seeing that, Hanselll fluttered his wife's hair while kissing the shoulders of Airyn, who is plain, gives a soft touch while gently rubbing the woman's shoulder.
“Darling can I ask?” Hansell asked doubtfully, making Airyn look at the windshield that reflected her husband's face which was standing behind her.
“What's up?” exclaimed the woman in a calm manner as if not intending to suspect anything.
“Do you have any problems in your company?”
“Not” replied Airyn while turning her body staring at Hansell, so that the two looked at each other with sadness, hearing that Hansell dropped his body to lean in front of his wife who was sitting in front of the dressing table, slowly Hansell rubbed Airyn's face with a gentle touch of pampering, before voicing his opinion.
“Then who's the guy Darrel wants to meet tonight?” Hansell asked with a relaxed face, no meaning whatsoever, making the woman speechless while thinking for a moment about what Hansell asked, although previously Hansell was rarely involved with Airyn's company problems, he said, but still every thing Hansell always asked about his wife's problems, so Airyn did not think anything of Hansell's question this time.
“Oh the auction problem they encountered was” immediately Hansell nodded his head while waiting for an explanation Airyn “I have loyal investors that I have never met, so far I have never met, of course, some times I only met his secretary, he always took the name of his company, so I did not know anything about the man, considering he is quite an important person and asking for privacy to be maintained makes me not have the right to meet directly with Mr. Zaterius. But thanks to Frada I started to know Mr. Zaterius is the one who has been an investor in every Tander I do” Obviously Airyn while removing the earrings attached to his ears, making Hansell smile as he got up from there, the man brought Airyn to his side of the bed because they had to rest.
“Thank God if there is no problem” Hansell said calmly. Making Airyn embrace her husband's body to deeply inhale the fragrance of Hansell's natural body, like the soothing scent of a soul that reconciles itself wholeheartedly, she said, even Airyn did not want to let go of the hug and loosened her chest with a tight enough strength.
The closed Tairyn's eyes were hard to fall asleep, though, even a few times Airyn looked up her head towards her sleeping husband with a handsome and calm face “Why still see me” cried Hansell with his eyes closed, making Airyn stir up a little body to look at Hansell blatantly.
“Darling I can't sleep” exclaimed Airyn spoiledly, making Hansell open both his eyes while listening to what could make Airyn calm down. Of course, Hansell would not be able to sleep if his wife had not been asleep calmly, which is why Hansell tried his hardest to keep his consciousness.
“Hansell, I want to go to Bali” immediately Hansell frowned while confused by the request of the woman, is not Bali located in the country of Indonesia which has various islands and diverse cultures, it is, but of the many choices why Airyn want to go to Bali.
“Why do you want to go there, is there an urgent job?” Hansell asked for a moment, as if his consciousness was gradually refreshed.
“When we were in the basement I told you about my island in Indonesia, I had an island near Bali, I felt like I wanted to go there and show you the Villa. I checked the weather changes this afternoon, and can be sure the weather is very supportive if we fly there, do you want us to fly to Indonesia for a mini night. It feels like I miss Villa it” said Airyn with a clear face, making Hansell so confused by Airyn's request, even though Hansell himself wanted them to fulfill the promise made in that basement, still to fly to Bali tonight was a little unnatural.
“Darling...” witty Airyn once again, as if expecting Hansell to reject her “You definitely don't want to, I know you won't! Because your work is so much more important than mine. Then just go to sleep. Don't mind me” snorted Airyn as she turned her body immediately, she was really hurt by Hansell's attitude.
“Let's go...” wilt the man when he hugged his wife, making Airyn smile happily as she turned back and hugged Hansell's body tightly. It feels like Airyn is too annoying but Hansell cannot refuse no, because this has become a promise between them.
When Hansell decided that second, all the things were prepared, whether it was their suitcase, Death for the flight, a few bodyguards who were going to leave to guard, he said, and all things were available as if Airyn had prepared this for a long time, of course Hansell was stunned by the unexpected behavior of his wife, that with one command from Airyn, his bodyguards came to escort the trip, and, isn't this already like coercion in the name of a promise that was accidentally made.
“God this woman” muttered Hansell as his wife was so desperate to prepare all their needs, even Airyn was like preparing this departure and managing her company from afar, so he seemed to have a long free time, while Hansell had to have a pile of problems if he later returned to Korea.
