Albern and Lily
Wounded

After finishing talking to Assistant Dhani, Albern returned to the living room, where all his family members were currently gathering with Lily.

Dhani's assistant immediately resigned. Then Lily also asked Albern to take her home immediately. It seems that the arrival of his mother and father had made the mood of the girl dropped drastically, because the beautiful face of Lily had not looked too excited like when it had just arrived.

After resigning to all members of the Brylee family, Lily finally returned home with a delivery by Albern. Mrs Ginna looked at the passing of her granddaughter and future granddaughter-in-law with a gaze that was difficult to explain. The old woman let out a long sigh, then turned her back to the back of the sofa while closing her eyes. Everyone knows, he must be thinking about the fate of his favorite grandson's romance that seems not to go smoothly.

"Not to think too much, Ma. Albern can certainly solve the problem with Doctor Evan," said Aaron calm Ginna.

"There are so many girls who want it, but she refuses outright. And when she wanted a girl so badly, the girl's father didn't give her blessing ...." Ginna muttered while sighing.

"Is it possible that you and Dr. Evan still had personal grudges in the past, so he doesn't want his daughter to be your daughter-in-law?" ginna asked Aaron suddenly.

Aaron looked rather buyak at his mother's question, while Zaya almost choked on her own saliva in surprise.

"Of course not. Why do Doctor Evan and I have to have a personal grudge?" call Aaron.

"Didn't he chase Zaya in the past, but Zaya chose to come back to you? Maybe because of that he didn't want his daughter to be with Albern?"

Zivanna who had just quietly listened, straightened her back.

"Well Lily's father ever chased after Mama?" zivanna asked with a surprised face.

Aaron, Zaya and Ginna turned to look at the girl. They all realized that Zivanna was still in their midst.

"Dn ...." Zaya approached her daughter who looked shocked.

"Right, Ma, Uncle Evan was after Mama? Didn't Mama say that Uncle Evan was Mama's foster sister?" ask Zivanna again.

"Well, why talk about the past. It happened before Doctor Evan met and married Carissa," Aaron finally answered Zivanna's question.

"Oh my goodness ... Mama and Uncle Evan?"

"Hey, stop thinking no-no. Doctor Evan it's just a one-sided feeling to your mama. The only man your Mama loves is of course just your Papa" said Aaron, pulling Zaya to her feet.

Zaya could only sigh while shaking her head.

"So right, Pa?" Zivanna turned towards Aaron.

"You only think of Doctor Evan as a big brother, but Doctor Evan has other feelings for your mother. Your mother is innocent at all. If Doctor Evan still holds a grudge, that's his own problem," Aaron defends his wife.

"Sister Evan is not that kind of person. He is very kind and sincere. If he didn't approve of Albern and Lily's relationship, it must be because of something else, not because he held a grudge," this time Zaya spoke up.

"Darling, I'm defending you, but why are you defending another man?" aaron protest.

"I'm not defending anyone, Honey. I'm just telling you the truth" Zaya said softly as she rubbed Aaron's shoulder. A very powerful way to tame her husband.

Zivanna who saw the drama scene shown by her parents seemed to roll her eyes lazy. There are times when the intimacy between Mama and her father makes her feel careless. Ah, if this is it, he'll miss Darrel.

"That's it, better get me home. I came here because I wanted to talk to Lily about a few things, but apparently I couldn't" Ginna interrupted her until Aaron and Zaya were forced to stop their romantic drama.

"Wouldn't you just stay here?" ask Aaron.

"Yes, Ma. Mama hasn't stayed here for a long time" Zaya added.

"I have trouble sleeping if not in my own bed. After all, seeing the two of you who are often unconscious of age makes my head a bit dizzy,"

"Sorry, Ma" said Zaya, distancing herself from her husband.

"Well, if you insist on going home. I'll get the driver to drive Mama, "Aaron gave up. Ginna often does not want to be told to stay at home.

Ginna finally came home with a personal driver Aaron. While Zivanna also paid off from the presence of her parents to enter her room. The girl was still thinking about what she had just discovered, the fact that her father Lily had chased after her mother. She wondered, did Lily know about this?

Meanwhile, Albern, who was on his way to drive Lily home, turned to the girl several times. Lily herself looked straight ahead, visibly immersed in her own thoughts. In Albern's lifetime, only this time did he see Lily speechless for a long time. There seemed to be something so disturbing to his mind that his cheerfulness disappeared unceasingly.

Albern glanced at the watch attached to his left arm, then pulled his car over in the courtyard of a shop. There was still half an hour left of the two hours that Evan gave, until Albern decided to talk first with Lily.

"Why?" lily asked as she realized the car Albern was driving had stopped.

Albern sighed for a moment.

"I should ask you, why are you?" Albern asked back.

"Huh?" Lily did not seem to understand.

"You look so sad. Was it because of your mom and dad's arrival?"

Lily was surprised. He did not expect that Albern had noticed him during the trip.

"Nothing,-" she tried to look okay.

"Lily, the key to a relationship is communication. Say what is currently troubling your mind so that I can more easily help" Benbern said.

Lily shook her head, refusing to make a sound.

"The couple must share in everything. It's not fair for one to suffer alone, because that would be a reason for the weakness of a relationship."

Lily was still silent, then lowered her head with teary eyes.

"I love Kak Al not because of everything Kak Al has. Even though Kak Al is not the heir to Brylee Group, I still love Brother. I dreamt of marrying Kak Al not because I wanted to be Mrs Brylee. Never had such a thought ever crossed my mind in the slightest," Lily finally said in a hoarse and somewhat quivering voice.

"I love Kak Al no matter what the circumstances of Brother. My feelings won't change even if Al doesn't have anything left. Does Al believe me?" lily asked, raising her face.

Albern. The face that usually always offends the smile looks so sad. His normally sparkling eyes also looked so sad, as if something was making this girl before him so hurt.

"Lilly..." Albern picked up a tissue and wiped away Lily's tears that were about to fall. The man felt it was not the arrival of his parents that made Lily like this.

"Lily, is it possible that you've read a junk article in the online news?" ask Albern.

Lily did not answer, but her silence was already the answer for Albern. It seems Lily had indeed read the bad news about her before Assistant Dhani had to clean up all the irresponsible articles. And it was clear that the girl was now so hurt.

Seriate...

I hope you are patient waiting for the continuation. Who is impatient and choose to wait again is also nothing, mother knows if waiting is heavy.

Thank you for surviving the uncertainty of your mom's update. (poetic shock)😅

Happy reading & ____________________________________________________________________________
