Forced Mate
Chapters. 59. Rise From Despair.

Several months have passed since Zeva left home. During that time, Arion kept looking for her everywhere. There was not the slightest hint of the whereabouts of the woman, even now it felt that Arion was tired and almost gave up.

"If you're tired, then take a break, Arion. Don't push yourself like this, because you're sure that someday you'll meet Zeva" said Mama Audy. He sat beside Arion who was currently standing in front of the window. His eyes stared intently outwards with his mind running everywhere.

"Did you hear mama?" Mama Audy patted her shoulder making Arion turn her head.

"Is my wife okay, Ma?" the look in Arion's eyes looked so dark that it made Audy's mother sad. "Don't meet, I don't even know if she's okay or not." He looked out the window with a hollow feeling.

"Mama understands, Arion. But I'm sure that your wife is fine right now, and she must be somewhere you don't know yet,"

"Where? Where is that place, Ma?" Arion turned back to look at his mother with a huff.

"That's what we don't know right now, honey. Mama's sure Zeva's gonna need some time to get back." Mama Zeva got up and stood in front of her son. "Don't give up, and keep believing that your wife is okay right now." A warm smile he gave to Arion to keep his son excited.

Arion could only nod weakly. I don't know, he also doesn't know where his current defensive limit is. He also did not know whether his wife was still alive or not, because all this time there was not the slightest news about him.

Geck, tok.

Arion turned to look at the door, along with Haris entering with a file in his hand.

"Master, tomorrow there's the opening of our hotel in the city of T. Will you attend it?" asked Haris with his head down. He knew that the Master must still be very bad, but all work must still be reported as usual.

"No," Arion answered quickly. He turned back towards the window, and was sculpting just like he used to do for the past few months.

Haris. He also knows how Arion is feeling right now, and it is impossible to force him. It's just, it's been almost 4 months Arion's been drowning in grief. If it continues like this, then as long as the man will never again want to meet with others.

"Master, we've put all our abilities into searching for Miss. And I don't think we'd be able to find the lady if she didn't want it."

Arion immediately glanced at Haris cynically. "So you're saying, Zeva's been hiding out on purpose because she didn't want to see me?" A glint of anger was clearly drawn on his face at this moment.

"Isn't that what she's doing, Miss's goal is to get out of the house?"

Both Arion's hands were tightly clenched. Yes, he knew that Zeva left because she was angry and did not want to meet him. It's just, it's been a long time. Is his mistake inexcusable, to the point that Zeva does not want to meet all the family?

"I understand how you feel, Sir, and actually I'm not worthy to say this to you either. But, come back, sir. Come back as usual. Because not only Miss who goes away from everyone, but you are also like that. Your body is with us, but your soul has gone far away" Haris said sadly. I don't know when was the last time he talked to Arion like he used to.

"Time has passed, and everyone has also changed. I can't go back to how I used to be" Arion said, looking at Haris, who was sobbing.

Arion frowned in surprise. He didn't understand why Haris said all that.

"Great master and also mistress are very worried about the state of Master, as are I and everyone. We are very worried, and also love you very much. But why are you like this just because of Miss?" haris said sharply, even the look in his eyes was sharper than the words he said.

"Everyone loves you, so please. Please think about their feelings as well, especially the great master and also the mistress. Every day they always ask your situation, even every time they just open their eyes. You're all they think about. Don't you think about their feelings?"

Arion looked at me with sayu. The words Haris spoke pierced his heart. However, he was also helpless with all of this.

"Since the past, I have been very respectful and also admire you. Even more than my own father. That's because you are so strong and so great, you won't falter with anything. You will also remain standing upright even if the storm hits your life. Such was the figure of the real Master, and what was happening at this moment. This is not your true identity, even You've humbled Yourself now."

The words Haris spoke were very piercing and slapping Arion's heart, but he did have to do so so that the Master would not be destroyed.

"I'm sorry, sir. Maybe I've been very presumptuous, but-"

"No. What you said is very true." Arion walked up to Haris and stood right in front of the man. "Everything you say is true, I shouldn't be like this. Thank you for awakening me, and thank you for being faithful by my side to this day." He patted Haris on the shoulder making the man sob.

"But don't say you admire me more than Uncle. Uncle can beat me up later."

"Grt." Haris closed her mouth which would laugh off. "That's right, sir. Don't let papa know, or I'll be hanged later."

"Huhahahah."

For the first time the sound of laughter was heard in the house after a long time, making the people who were outside the room immediately run over.

"alright. So, how many of my agenda are tomorrow?"

Haris smiled haru. Finally the Master regained his spirit, and exuded an aura of happiness for everyone.
