Grasping Longs
Part~202

Sera immediately turned her face away, knowing that her future husband Luci was Martin instantly made her chest feel tight.

However, to this day he still loves the man. If this was God's way of punishing him he would take it lightly.

He appears to blink his eyes several times so that his eyes do not condense.

"Darling, you're finally home. Poor thing Mauren was waiting for you from earlier." Lusi appears to hold Martin's arm and invites him to approach Sera who is still sitting in her chair.

"Mauren, let's get to know this is my future husband" he said again introducing Martin to Sera.

"Hallo, I'm Mauren the designer who designed your wedding dress" Sera said as she reached out with her hand, trying as much as possible not to be nervous so that the man did not suspect her.

"Martin" said Martin to return Sera's handshake, their eyes locked for a moment.

Even as their hands touched each other, the two felt a strange sigh in his body. Love cannot lie, love will always know its best place.

"It's nice to meet you." Sera immediately pulled her hand from Martin's tight grip as if reluctant to take it off.

"Well, Mauren, now you can measure Martin's clothes" said Lusi later.

"Hm, okay." said Sera, then he immediately measured Martin's body.

Although the man always looked at him, but Sera tried not to heed him.

"Lus, can you get the project files in my room. Mattew will soon take it." Martin orders later.

"Hm, okay." said Lusi, after that he stepped his feet to the second floor where Martin's room was.

After Lusi's departure, Martin immediately grabbed Sera's waist until there was no gap between them.

"Why are you pretending you don't recognize me ?" he stared hard at Sera.

"Sorry sir, please let me go. I don't understand your words at all." said Sera trying to release herself, but Martin's grip was so tight on her waist.

"Sera, Sera Winata is you, right ?" said Martin who immediately made Sera swallow her saliva.

For a long time he had forgotten that name and wanted to bury it deeply.

He prefers to be Mauren, a new human being who tries to always improve himself.

"It seems you're wrong, sir. I'm Mauren, please let me go. What if your future wife sees it, she can misunderstand." said Sera while staring at the second floor hoping that Lusi will come soon.

"Unfortunately I do not believe, you are Sera. Sera Winata." said Martin while looking at Sera sharply.

"In this world there are many people with similar faces, so you better make sure before guessing. Because you could be wrong and it's the same as you have disturbed the life of an honorable Mr. Martin." said Sera while looking at Martin no less sharply.

Feeling ridiculed, Martin immediately parsed his embrace on Sera's waist. "I'll make sure what I say is the truth" he said later.

After that Martin passed away leaving Sera who now seemed to regulate his breathing which suddenly felt tight.

"Have finished measuring it ?" asked Lusi when he saw Sera appeared alone in the living room.

"Oh, it's done. Oh yes Lus, are you really sure to entrust your wedding clothes to me. I mean in this city there are so many great and famous designers, why don't you just ask them to make it." Sera tries to persuade Lusi to abandon his intention, really he does not want to deal with Martin anymore.

For years without seeing each other, Martin was getting more terrible, he said, he did not want to endanger his children later.

"But I've fallen in love with all your designs, Mauren." declined Lusi.

"Just right honey, Mauren's design is good, right ?" he added again when he saw Martin walking over to him.

"I also feel that way, so I'm very confident in entrusting our clothes to you, Mauren" said Lusi.

Seeing the intimacy of the lovers in front of him, Sera suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. But he has to be professional.

"Okay, I think I should go home soon. It was getting dark, I had to catch the last train." said Sera, staring at the clock on her wrist.

"Mattew will take you." said Martin firmly.

"No need sir, I can take the train." Sera refused.

"I don't like rejection, after all if there's anything with you we can fail to get engaged. Open so dear ?" martin said, then looked at Lucia.

"Of course, you need to be safe until Mauren's house. Let Mattew drive you." said Lusi agreed to see a man named Mattew who had just entered Martin's residence.

The deg!!

"The man, not the one who yesterday wanted to bid for the parlors. Does that mean there's Martin behind them."

Sera looked surprised when she saw Mattew, it seemed like she had to be even more vigilant. He did not know what kind of figure a Martin was right now.

Formerly the man was very cruel and maybe now even more cruel, just look at this house even though it is luxurious but it seems terrible.

"Alright." said Sera later, he better obey at this time.

After that Sera passed away with Mattew, as well as Martin will also go drive Lusi home in a different car.

"Thank God he's not coming."

Sera breathed a sigh of relief after learning Martin was not taking her.

Along the way Sera seemed silent, as well as Mattew. Moments later, the man stopped his car.

"Why stop, sir ?" Sera suddenly pale, hopefully the man did not do anything considering they are now alone.

"I'm waiting for someone." said Mattew.

"But it's been too late sir, can you take me first ?" please Sera, he is really scared right now.

"Don't worry miss, I will definitely take you." Mattew said as he looked at the worry in Sera's face from behind her rear-view mirror.

"Thank you." said Sera.

Shortly after, a car stopped in front of Mattew's car.

The deg!!

"Martin, what is he doing here? it's not like he brought Lusi home."

Sera's breath seemed choked when she saw Martin get out of her car, especially when the man opened the car door next to her and entered and sat next to her.

Sera immediately gulped down her saliva, what was the man doing. Why get into his car, a lot of questions in Sera's mind.

After the car drove back, there was silence between them. Just the roar of the car and some honking sounds from other cars.

Then Martin began to open his voice as he looked at Sera who looked uncomfortable.

"Is she my daughter ?" he said that immediately made Sera glare at him.
