Alana POVs
"Take a stab with me, and make me the only man who can eat your cooking." Dareel said beside me.
I turned to the dareel who was now staring at me intensely, Meooww... Jeez lala, I really miss this handsome cat. "Heeeyyy, baby come here" I said as I was holding the lala.
"No, Alana, eat first." Dareel restrains my hand and shooes lala. Iisssshhh why he rented it so much, "Baby baay lala," I shouted.
*
"Al, my words... " Dareel spoke up behind me, what would you say, why am I so nervous like this. "I mean it," continued Dareel looking at me seriously.
"Ah, yes.. I really miss lala and kiki, can I play with them? Yes, yes, by the way." I ran towards the rear of the dareel house, towards the lala and kiki stables.
I looked back, thank God that Dareel did not follow. No alana, dareel. Kidding around? Ah no, maybe dareel subconsciously said that.
I also don't mean to be serious about my words saying that only my husband can eat my cooking, I'm just kidding. Ah, it sucks
*
Now I am in the garden behind the dareel house, since an hour ago the dareel did not come to me, where he was. I rubbed the head of the kiki that was in my lap, it felt like just yesterday I met lala and kiki but why are they so fat right now.
"Kiki, where's your dad." I asked Kiki who was just staring at me with her round eyes, ah adorable.
"Searching me?" Said Dareel behind me holding lala. "No," I replied, taking my eyes off the davel. "I'm sorry about you, Dion called campus." Dareel rubbed my nose.
"Your nose is still red" said Dareel, watching my nose, but what made me misbehave was the distance of our faces very close and almost a dareel nose touched my nose.
"Lala, here.. Geez, your stomach's so full." Said I took lala from a saucer. Dareel smiled, rubbing my cheek, "Well, how not the puffiness, eat the most." Dareel's voice stroked lala's stomach.
"Dareel, yesterday... Are you involved in the Vano family? Last morning I saw the news, papa vano cheated the stock inventors and is now waiting for the trial process, are you involved?" I asked slowly, hoping that Dareel would tell me the truth.
"I'm just helping to expose the vices of their company, they're also turning a blind eye to pay and employee gaps. Many of the small business people who are just starting businesses are fooled by the vano family, Al." Darel's explanation made me think that whether Dareel was also involved in papa's company matters, it was impossible.
"Is it because vano was also the time that it trapped me with that stimulant drug? And you're avenging him?" Ask me dareel. "Yes, that's also one of them," answered Dareel lightly eating a biscuit.
"Dareel, do you know what this risk is? I mean, you're involved, and the Vano family is very powerful." I tried to explain to the dareel involved so casually.
"I know, Al. But I'm not afraid of anything, I have many people I can command to destroy those who hurt you. Especially the one that tormented us for eight years." Answer dareel.
"Al, trust me.. I knew today was supposed to be your engagement day with Vano. I've said it over and over again, I'll take care of whatever belongs to me. And you, you belong to me, I will fight whoever separates us." Dareel rubbed my cheek softly.
Slowly dareel approached and kissed my lips, I closed my eyes feeling the dareel getting deeper into my kiss. Dareel's hand held back my nape and the other one rubbed my cheek.
I slapped my dareel chest as I felt I was running out of oxygen, I glanced at the dareel who was now kissing my neck. "Betch... " My sigh as the dareel hand entered the shirt I was wearing and rubbed my back.
"Dareel, No." I pulled my body back from the dareel, I saw the face of the dareel as if shocked by my rejection. "What are you doing? It's a pervert again." I stayed away from the dareel and carried the kiki so that the dareel did nothing more.
"Hallo, sis,"
"Where are you, Al? Why did you leave your papa in such a state? What's the matter, Alana? Why are you covering everything up from me, huh? Dareel, that guy... I'm disappointed in you, I feel like a stranger in your life now,"
"Sister.not rich, brother where now. I went to the apartment, right? Hello, sis. Hallo-o.. Ethan,"
I'm not done talking yet, the call was switched off by Ethan. Ethan knows about Dareel, how this is. "Al, what's wrong?" Dareel asked walking towards me.
"I'm going home, thanks for helping me," I said immediately leaving the dareel and walking to the bedroom to change clothes.
"Let me drive," said Dareel in front of the room, I shook my head "I've booked a cab." Say me down the stairs. I felt Dareel following behind me.
Dareel suddenly held my hand. "Whatever they say, stay with me no matter what and you won't be able to get away from me, hmm." Dareel tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Come in, I'll call you later." Dareel opened the taxi door for me, I smiled in response. Really am... Dareel has a different aura, sometimes very sweet and calm but on the other hand he looks so domineering and sometimes also scary, you know.
*
I repeatedly pressed the bell button of Ethan's apartment, but there was no response. Even Ethan didn't pick up my call, he was really mad at me.
I still press the apartment bell ethan, but still not nil. Is there no one inside? Where he went this afternoon..
I glanced at my phone, at 18:00, I've been waiting in front of the apartment for four hours. Why for so long, I'll apologize even if he's mad at me but Ethan never silences me.
I stood up from my seat when I saw Ethan coming out of the elevator, wait. A shirt sleeve rolled up to the elbow and two open top buttons, what's a drunken ethan?
"Ah, shit, wherever I am always looking at alana." Ethan stumbled in front of me. True the smell of alcohol was very pungent, as long as I knew Ethan, he was never this drunk.
"Sister, you're so drunk" I said holding his hand as Ethan was about to fall. "Ah, this is like real. I'm totally crazy, wherever I've always seen you." Ethan racau.
Ethan pressed the password and we entered the apartment, "Sister, why are you drunk like this?" I sat ethan in the shofa and I was warming up the milk to get rid of his hangover.
"You drink slowly" I said, putting the milk in front of Ethan. "Are you really Alana? You here?" Ethan rubbed my hair.
"I'm here, brother," said I nodded and clasped his hand. "I'm disappointed, I'm a stranger to you, go." Ethan threw my hand.
"The guy.. named Dareel, he's back, right? He left you and hurt you, the man who broke you, he hurt you." Ethan was whining with his eyes closed.
I can only be quiet, I explained to Ethan when he was drunk like this he would not understand what I said.
"Do you still love her? You... come back with her?" Now Ethan opened his eyes and looked at me with a weak look.
"Do you not understand Al? I-I always wanted to be the one to fill your heart. I want to be the special guy in your life, even if Dareel is the lucky guy to have it all." What Ethan said, why did he say this.
"Can't you feel this? Just look at me not as your best friend, but to be that guy, who loves you so much." I pulled my hand from Ethan's.
I shook my head, no, no... W-what did ethan say? How could? Ethan loves me? Since when? I looked at Ethan who was now asleep on the shofa.
Was it because ethan was drunk, so he was talking like this? Wait, Ethan shed tears even though he was asleep.
Oh my God, what is this problem, my friend who I consider like a sister, he loves me. Ethan... how can it be? I shed my tears, have I been hurting Ethan all this time?. I sobbed at Ethan, don't love me, don't.
