Discernment
Ch 8's. Meet Gandhi

“Gandhi is not from a good family. Enough to know this alone, Papa think you can understand.” Mirza replied reluctantly to go into more detail about her past with the Gandhi family.

Mama Devina just gently rubbed her daughter's emotionless arms. The woman understands how Aya is feeling at this time, especially Aya and Gandhi have long been in a relationship, albeit secretly.

“Egoist father!” aya said and moved from her seat leaving her parents.

Papa Mirza looked to have her forehead taken off after Aya left the living room. The wife can only calm her husband, because Mama Devina knows very well how her husband feels at this time.

“I'll try to convince Aya about Gandhi, Mas. You take it easy.” said Mama Devina.

“Thank you, Darling. Actually this is just my past with both of Gandhi's parents. But it has to have an impact on Aya. I will keep Aya away from Gandhi.”

Mama Devina just nodded. After that, he went into Aya's room to talk carefully.

Mirza sighed slowly. Remembering his past. Papa Gandhi was a business opponent of Mirza long ago. The man was always trying to destroy his company. It turns out that after being traced deeper, Troy Ghazerfer is the adoptive brother of Deo, Mirza's old friend who died at his hands, hence the appearance of Troy in the business world just to avenge his sister. But one time when the two are in a feud, precisely when Mirza just returned from a business trip, Troy deliberately wanted to harm Mirza by arranging an accident that he had engineered.

It just so happened that Troy was also with his wife. But unfortunately, when he carried out the plan, it turned out that Troy's car was first hit by a large box truck. Until accidents are inevitable. Mirza's car was also affected, although she only received minor injuries. While the car driven by Troy with his wife was badly damaged and all passengers died, namely Troy and his wife.

Therefore Mirza strongly forbade Aya close relationship with Gandhi. Mirza also recently learned that Aya had a secret relationship with Gandhi. Even that relationship was long.

Mirza believes that one day Gandhi will know the cause of his parents' deaths. Most likely Gandhi will accuse himself of being the cause of his parents' deaths. And it will definitely affect Aya.

After her engagement to Darren, Aya has no interest in living out her days. Her mother always assured her that Darren was the best man for her and asked to forget about Gandhi. There is no choice but to accept her marriage to Darren. But to forget Gandhi, he could not. Aya will continue to carry out her plan. That is separated from Darren after marriage later, only he has not thought of how.

Meanwhile, Darren, who is currently busy with his work, suddenly remembered Aya. Not remembering her beautiful face, but Aya's attitude to her. Honestly until now Darren felt very guilty to Aya who seemed not to want to know about what her relationship in the future will be like. She should also be trying to figure out how to end the relationship, even though Darren himself doesn't want to play with a marriage. But he also cannot impose his will. Especially between her and Aya not in love with each other. Aya herself also has a lover.

Wanting to contact Aya to ask her to meet him, Darren still thought twice. I don't know what he's thinking right now.

Tok tok tok tok

“Excuse me, Sir!” greet Julian entering Darren's room.

“What's up?”

“I have finished preparing the material for the meeting later at noon. Here's the file, you can check again.”

Darren nodded in receiving the documents from his assistant. Then he asked Julian out of his room.

Darren and Julian are on their way to a restaurant where they will meet with their clients. As usual, Darren chose the vvip room to be more comfortable when discussing his business issues with clients.

Darren frowned when he accidentally met a woman. The woman he had seen, but he had forgotten where. And strangely again, the woman who was holding her lover did not look surprised when she saw him. Even seemed to pretend not to know Darren.

After remembering, it turns out that the woman is Aya's friend whom she had met while looking for an engagement ring with Aya. After all, Darren also did not know the woman very well, but why her attitude was so strange.

“Ehm!” Darren cleared his throat to neutralize the situation. After that he entered the vvip room of the restaurant, where his client was waiting for him.

**

This afternoon Aya who was locked herself in the room looked surprised and happy when she got a message from her lover. A message with a surprise. Because Gandhi said that he was in this country when last night when he messaged with Aya, the man said nothing.

So surprised and still do not believe in Gandhi's words, Aya to make a video call with her lover to make sure that Gandhi is really in this city.

Now Aya has believed when she saw Gandhi's existence in a hotel. After that, they made an appointment to meet. Surely as usual. Aya will meet secretly so that her parents do not know.

Aya immediately prepared to go meet her lover. He is very happy today because Gandhi often gives surprises. As it is now.

“Ma, Aya want to go with Lissa first!” pamit Aya to her mother who was in the kitchen. While the father does not appear at home, he may still be on his way home from work.

“Be careful, Ay!” sahut Mama Devina after Aya kissed both cheeks.

Aya exited the house to coincide with her Papa's car entering the yard.so also with Ansel, the younger brother who had just returned home and was still wearing his school uniform.

“Where are you, brother? How pretty?” ask Ansel for pleasantries.

“From the past it was beautiful too. Want to hang out lah.”

“Definitely want to see Gandhi, right? I just did,-hmmpp!”

Aya immediately silenced her sister's mouth when she saw her Papa walking over to her and Ansel as well. His sister could not keep a secret. And Ansel also knew a little bit that he had a backstreet relationship with Gandhi.

“You guys why? Ay, where are you going?” ask Papa Mirza.

“It's okay, Pa. um, I want to go with Lissa.” Say goodbye to her Papa. Then let her father into the house.

“Review if your mouth leaks again!” threaten Aya with her sister. Ansel himself just nodded without wanting to chimed in on his brother's threat.

Aya got into the car and immediately set out to meet with Gandhi.
