Forced Mate
Chapters. 44. Making Big Decisions.

Mama Audy was really upset by what her son was doing. It could be that under these circumstances, Arion was acting like a child. "Thank God he's okay." On the other hand he felt relieved, no matter how he felt to be calm when he saw Arion was fine.

Meanwhile, inside the room Arion and Zeva were already sitting on the sofa. Somehow the atmosphere became very awkward, what else some time ago Zeva just expressed her feelings.

"Ja-so, how are you doing?" zeva asked, she tried to remove the awkwardness that was going on.

"I'm good, sorry for not telling you."

Zeva nodded her head. "That's okay, all that matters is that you're okay. I was really worried about that."

Arion was silent at Zeva's words, she was holding her hand that wanted to hug her body again. "Why? Why are you worried about me, Zeva?"

Zeva gasped at Arion's words. "Of course I'm worried about you, we're friends."

Ah, ja. That's right what Zeva said. Maybe the woman was too carried away, that's why she revealed something she wasn't really feeling.

"All right, I get it." Arion got up and went back to bed.

Zeva could see the disappointment on Arion's face making his hand instantly hold the man's hand. "I, I love you too, Arion. I don't want to lose you."

Arion was glued to his place when he heard Zeva's words, while Zeva herself got up and stood before him.

"I don't know what you're going to think of me, but that's the feeling I'm feeling right now. Everyone just came out when I was so worried, I was really afraid of losing you. My body shakes violently because of you, even my whole life I've never felt this way." Zeva decides to reveal everything she feels, as she is completely unwilling to lose Arion.

"You're saying you love me, but what about your lover?" Arion turned his gaze towards Zeva. "What do you mean, you love both of us?"

Deg. Zeva was speechless, her tongue stiffened to reply to Arion's words making the man smile cynically.

"You're so selfish, Zeva." Arion let go of Zeva's hand which was still holding her arm, she then stepped back towards the bed and lay down on the spot.

Zeva's heart beat very quickly when she heard Arion's words, the words the man spoke really pierced her heart. However, Arion was not wrong either. The man said that right now he was really selfish, and all that was true. How could he possibly love 2 people at once?

"Go home with mom and dad, Zeva. I'll stay here with Haris."

Zeva's daydream stops when she hears Arion's words. "Can't we go home together?" He looked at Arion with sadness.

Arion let out a heavy sigh, he then nodded his head to confirm what the woman wanted.

After all the commotion, they finally all decided to go home. Along the way, none of them spoke, especially Zeva. Since then he kept thinking about what Arion said.

Mama Audy asks Arion and Zeva to return home, she does not accept rejection because she wants to take care of her son's wounds.

Arriving at home, Arion immediately cleans up and rests again. Right now his legs were throbbing pain, making him choose to rest only.

Zeva herself chose to sit on the balcony. The clock still shows at 5 am, where the atmosphere is still very quiet and also dark.

Amidst that silence and darkness, he kept thinking about everything that had happened. Both his relationship with Gavin, his relationship with Arion.

He has to make sure who he really loves, because lately he started to feel comfortable with Arion, and started to forget about Gavin's whereabouts.

"I have to stop this right now. I can't play around with their feelings anymore, I can't keep Gavin in while my heart starts to waver because of Arion."

Yeah, he's got to think about all this well. She must not be a selfish woman who plays with the feelings of two men who have been treating her well.

Arion who woke up from his sleep immediately glanced towards Zeva. He smiled faintly at the woman sitting on the floor, knowing that Zeva must be thinking about what she had said.

Several days have passed since the confession of love that Zeva spoke of, and to this day her relationship and Arion are a little tenuous.

Arion himself has started to return to work after deciding to take a break for days, and he concludes that Zeva still chooses to maintain a relationship with Gavin.

"Good morning, sir."

Arion just nodded his head to respond to Haris' greeting, he continued to step foot into the room.

"Daris!"

Haris' body jumped in shock when she heard Zeva's voice. Yes, this time the woman had just called her name.

"What's up, Miss?" tanyanya.

"Did I get permission to go home today?" zeva asked, "there's business I want to finish" he continued.

Haris frowned when he heard the woman's words. "Why did Miss ask me for permission? You should have said that to Sir."

"I know. It's just, I can't tell you the reason" said Zeva.

Haris. He was guessing what the woman wanted to do right now. "Miss, right now your wound has not healed completely. So don't let it be"

"I'm not going to do anything that would put me in danger, Haris. I won't make Arion or you any trouble either. I just want to do something that I should have done before" Zeva said weakly. After a long thought, he finally decided to immediately end his old relationship before everyone was too hurt by what he was doing.

"Do you want to see Gavin?"

Deg. Zeva flinched when she heard Haris say, she did not expect that the man knew what he wanted to do. "I-I, I-"

"Alright, it's up to you if you want to see him or not. After all, he is your lover, and you have the right to meet or do anything with him."

Haris' words actually managed to pierce Zeva's heart, she felt slapped with what the man said.

"Alright, then excuse me, Miss." Haris immediately turned around and left the place without waiting for an answer from Zeva.

Zeva did not budge from her place, she really felt stupefied and what the man said was true.

"really. I'm a really bad woman."
