Everyone was fixated on hearing Albern's words, but with a different expression. If Aaron looks in disbelief, Zaya looks shocked. Zivanna looked not too surprised, as if she had known everything.
"Do you have a woman you want to marry?" Zaya asked with a surprised and happy expression that mixed into one.
"Yes." Yeah." Answer Albern flat.
"Eat him after this Mama and Papa do not need to worry about my partner. I already have someone who will be my wife, so there is no need to encourage any more women to get close to me. In time, I will definitely get married." Added Albern again.
Zaya was a bit flabbergasted at the words of her son, to the point that his mouth was slightly opened. He was so moved to hear Albern say about the marriage, that the look on his face looked too dramatic.
"Alright, Ma. Don't show such exaggerated expressions. I told you, I'm perfectly normal.
"Who is that girl?" Asked Aaron in a probing tone. Although Albern is not a person who likes to lie, but it does not necessarily make Aaron believe in the confession of his son.
Albern. He hasn't talked to Lily about exposing contact them or not. Despite the feelings, it is not wrong to tell the parents themselves.
"So Al really had a relationship with Lily?" Albern had not yet answered her Papa's question, Zivanna heard asking as well. The question is the answer to the previous question.
"Lily???" Aaron and Zaya were shocked at the same time.
Albern turned to look at Zivanna.
"Where do you know?" Albern asked his sister.
"I asked Lily why she disappeared from campus this afternoon, said Kak Al, who took her away. He also said that Al's brother expressed love for him. I guess he was just joking around excessively. Then when he called someone in front of me, I also thought he was pretending if the one he called was Kak Al. So it turns out he wasn't lying?" Zivanna who seemed surprised looked at Albern, as if she wanted to ask for an explanation.
Albern looked stunned for a while.
"He's not lying. I had expressed my feelings for him, and he accepted. Now we are in a relationship. The relationship that leads to marriage is of course," Albern later said.
Zaya and Aaron who heard that instantly froze.
"Sister Al sure? Does Al know what Lily looks like? She's a good girl, but she's hard to take seriously. Although Lily's telling you this is serious about Kak Al, but I'm actually not so sure she's really serious or just playing around."
Albern.
"Lily is very young. She is beautiful and many like her. He was also kind to all the young men who put their hearts on him. Is Al sure he can handle all that? Not to mention, her father was very dislikeful of every young man who approached Lily all this time." Zivanna said again.
Albern remained silent. He seemed to digest the words spoken by his sister. Zivanna was right, completely right. Lily is the type of person who likes to joke and is a bit difficult to guess. Anyone would find it hard to tell if he was being serious or joking. He is also very young, which means his emotions are still very unstable. Not to mention that his father was so possessive of his daughter that he was so overprotective.
Being in a relationship with Lily is arguably like a challenge for Albern. It could be that Lily's current feelings for Albern are just a liking she misinterpreted as love. And it could be, one day Lily will be lured to other young men who are the same age as her when it feels Albern is no longer charming. Could be...
But then Albern raised his gaze while smiling faintly. He doesn't care about any of that. The most important thing for her right now was that Lily was willing to be her lover. Because that way, he had a chance to take Lily's heart completely. Albern will make sure after this Lily will never turn away from him in the slightest.
"You're right, Zi. Everything you say is true. But Lily's the only one I want to be my life partner. Even though he doesn't really love me right now, I'm going to make him love me with all his heart. And regarding her Papa, even if she had ten Papa like Uncle Evan, it wouldn't bother me at all. Gradually I will definitely get his blessing," Albern said then wholeheartedly.
"You've heard what you want to hear, now I'm going to my office first. There are some documents I need to check." Albern got up from his seat. Without waiting for a response from his sister and parents who were still stunned, Albern passed away leaving the family room
Aaron seemed to let out a long sigh, whereas Zaya was still stunned without knowing what to react to. Albern's statement made the feelings of this married couple become mixed. Between happy but also anxious.
As Aaron knows, for someone who is difficult to fall in love, once it is in love, then the feeling will be very deep, as well as his feelings for the wife. It would be great if Lily had the same feelings for Albern. But what if it doesn't? Will the Brylee Group heir end up heartbroken and increasingly withdrawing from the name of a woman?
It's scary enough to imagine.
"It seems like Brother Al really likes Lily ...." Zivanna muttered, as if talking to herself.
Aaron and Zaya turned to their daughter at the same time.
"How about Lily? Does she like your big brother that much?" Ask Zaya later.
Zivanna did not answer.
"For now, yes. But I don't know later." Lirih.
"I can't imagine what would happen if until Uncle Evan found out Lily was in a relationship with Brother Al. Planning to get married too he said," murmured Zivanna again.
Zaya was stunned again. It was reflected in his memory how the always gentle Evan had unhesitatingly shown a hostile attitude if Albern and Lily interacted. Then later, the most memorable memory Zaya has is the birthday party Lily first. Evan gets angry at nine-year-old Albern just because his son kisses Lily's baby cheek.
Zivanna's right, it's not gonna be easy for Albern.
"If Doctor Evan gets angry because his daughter is related to my son, then he'll come face to face with me." Aaron muttered in a serious tone.
Eh?
Zaya and Zivanna turned towards Aaron at the same time.
"What do you mean?" Zaya asked with a little fear. Her husband isn't flying the war flag, is he?
Aaron did not answer. But the look in his eyes made Zaya goosebumps.
And it seems, the war is about to start.
Seriate...
