After You Go
3. Not As Expect

Alan looked confused at this scene, he rushed over to Zia and clasped his hands.

" Why fight? " ask Alan

Zia was silent a thousand languages, trying to hold back the tears that were spilled. He always couldn't control his feelings in front of Alan. But not this time, he had to be strong.

At the same time, Teresa again shouted "Zia dear, please don't be like this, son, forgive me. The wrong mother. I deserve to be punished! "

Teresa slapped her own face, an old trick that's been plastered.

" Mommy, stop! Please stop! "

As usual, Alan would never allow such a thing to happen in front of him.

" Mom said only a few words, but she was so angry and threatened to leave. I'm sorry, son. The wrong mother! But mother had absolutely no intention of expelling him..! "

Zia was very upset, she wanted to give Oscar to the old woman. Really very good at playing jokes.

" Zia, please forgive me son! If you're tired of taking care of your future father-in-law, I can understand. I could hire a nanny for him. Remember, you're the one who asked to take care of her, you can't blame a mother like this." crocodile tears seeped from Teresa's eyes.

It is true that Zia took the initiative to take care of Farhan, but it was at the insistence of Teresa without Alan knowing. Indeed, from the beginning, Teresa wanted to make her a babu, so she persuaded Alan to invite Zia to live together.

In reality, Teresa was only worried, Alan was wasting money to pay for Zia's apartment rent.

As soon as Zia stayed with them, Teresa immediately fired all the housekeepers, including the nanny who took care of Farhan. The reason is, the financial situation is down, so all residents must be independent.

Words are just words, sweet on the lips but bitter in fact.

" In this world, nothing is free. You should know yourself if you want to stay here! " teresa quipped when Alan wasn't home.

Zia who was initially happy because she could live with her heart, which meant that her family had accepted her, was mistaken.

" You know, the company is collapsing? It's not my intention to dictate to you, but at least you have to show us your sincerity, " said Teresa.

For Zia, this was a challenge to her love. Zia did not mind at all, she also showed her sincerity, even though it meant having to do all the homework, even including taking care of the disabled Farhan.

Later on, Teresa and her children's treatment grew, forcing Zia at this point.

But yes, this is just a story of her naive and stupid past, Zia thought.

" Zia, sorry! " murm Alan.

" I know, you're tired. You've done a lot for me, but...! "

Alan looked into Zia's eyes, hoping there was still love there.

"...But, all of that is not free. Even to take care of my father, I provided the appropriate compensation. And I think that's more than enough. Zia, the financial state of the company is in a very good state, it's all thanks to you. Of course I'm not ungrateful either, am I? Is everything I've given you all this time lacking? "

Zia widened her eyes and twisted her, until now, this man before her still did not understand.

" Are you looking at me as a maid? Or see me as a prostitute? " zia's circus.

Hurriedly, Teresa hugged Zia.

"Son, you can't be like that! You can be angry with Mom, but you can't ignore my son like this! " persuade Teresa, still with her false tears.

" If you want to go, then go. But leave everything my son gave you! Otherwise, I can't guarantee the old man's safety " whispered Teresa in Zia's ear.

Teresa compared the evil grin from a point of view that Alan could not see.

" gr...! " Zia squealed, that's all.

He's really fed up with all this. Tired, tired, no one knows.

" Zia, let's go back home. We can talk about all this well. Cheryl and I, it's all a misunderstanding. Next week we get married, and I've prepared ten percent of the company's shares in your name as dowry. This is proof of my seriousness, "

' Deg '

Nah! Teresa can't let go of all this. He struggled to crawl into the Pratama family, even Farhan did not treat him like that.

But Zia, the woman whose origins are unclear, wants to rule the Pratama family and become a mistress, Teresa is not willing. A penny, Teresa was not willing.

" Do you really want to confront me? " teresa whispered again, filled with a tone of threat.

Zia took the Black Card from her backpack and threw it into Alan's hands.

" I don't need it! "

" Oh, Zia..Why are you like this, son? Zia, do you no longer have a conscience? "

Zia no longer hugged the two of them, she really did not want to deal with those bastards anymore. Zia rushes to open the car door, but Teresa prevents her.

" Zia, please stop this! Are you really not looking at me, huh!? " Alans yelled, nor could he let Zia continuously test her patience.

" Zia, don't go, boy! Isn't my son so good to you? Lookie! You even drive a Benz, so you don't look bad in front of your friends. Do you have a heart, son? "

Zia smiled at him, wanting to let him laugh out loud. In a dream, Zia never imagined, that she would be the daughter-in-law of a very cute clown.

Zia understood very well the meaning of Teresa's words, even her car was the facility that Alan gave her. And that too must be left out.

Zia pulled out Teresa's hand, then patted her palm to put down the car keys.

" Take! I don't need...! I don't need anything from you! "

Zia turned around, stepped towards the gate and exited. On foot, he exited the Green Gardens Village and it was a considerable distance away. There will be no taxis passing by, and online taxis, Zia doesn't even have a penny.

Alan brushed his face, pacing back and forth while holding his eel. He was confused, he did not know how to.

" My dear son, come on! We cannot force someone's heart. At least we tried to do our best. But yeah, how else? "

Teresa was really trying to play a wise mother.

" Marriage problem, you don't have to worry either. We just need to find a replacement bride, right? There are many honorable women, even noble ones, who are still faithfully waiting for you. Come on, you can't be unreasonable like this. At least, you still have to think more about your father."

Alan blinked for a moment, then closed his eyes. Take a deep breath, then blow it away. That handsome guy really felt tired.

" Daughter, how about I introduce someone tomorrow? I'm sure you won't be disappointed "persuaded Teresa.

Alan did not respond at all, he set foot to meet his father. Alan did not even glance at the slightest bit of Chika who was picking up Anton was about to go to the hospital. Both of his half-brothers, although Alan thought of him as his own family, but he could not be too familiar.

More precisely, he was indeed a typical person who could not be too familiar with anyone. Even with Zia, he himself forgot, when was the last time he smiled at her.

" Dad! "

Alan found his father in a wheelchair facing the window in his room. Farhan knew his biological son would soon be looking for him. Even so, Farhan did not care about Alan at all, not even turning his head.

Alan sat on the edge of the bed, right next to his father. All this time, the tough Alan, of course there was a time when he could not control everything. And at that moment, the only person he would talk to was his father. Although his father could not speak, but at least Alan could feel Farhan's warmth from his attitude.

But now, for some reason, Alan felt that his father had completely ignored him. It's cold!

" Dad, Zia has left! "

Farhan still did not respond.

" What am I supposed to do? "

Alan slid his face on both palms, then squeezed his hair. Get down!

" Dol, Alan! Come here, boy! " he heard Teresa's voice. Scream!

Alan looked up, looking at the door. A few seconds passed, then Alan left lazily, to see what happened.
