Holy Marriage
One Stupidity
The ringing sound of the phone made Alan's hand reach directly into the phone in his pants pocket. One of his men called.
“Ya, hello!” Alan's forehead frowned at the words of his men. “You sure? Not wrong see?”
Alan put the phone back in his pants pocket. Then looked at Cintya and said. “I go.”
With wide strides and half a run, Alan left the house.
Alan's sudden arrival and his strange departure, make Cintya and Rafa exchange wondering looks.

Along the way, Alan rang the words of his men who informed him that Anna was now at William's house. Many times Alan rubbed a rough face. How could he not know Anna was in her own parents' house? Why is his mind insensitive? He was unceasingly self-deprecating.
The closer his car is to William's house, the harder his heart beats. If he gets home, maybe his heart will explode. He doesn't know what's going on at William's house right now. Is it possible that Anna complained to William? If it's true he's complaining, Alan's done. He will definitely get into new trouble.
Alan half ran into the house shortly after he parked the car in the yard. The front room was occupied by William, Laura and Stefi who turned to him as soon as he passed the door. His eyeballs briefly spun around looking for Anna. But what was sought was not there.
Alan's feelings began to be uncomfortable as his eyes collided with Wiliam. His eyes were sharp, and Alan was aware that his Papa was in a rage.
“Pa, Anna where?” alan asked as if he did not want to know with emotions emanating on his Papa's face.
“Alan, can you ask where is your wife?” William's flat but thundered voice made Stefi look down in fear. “You know what happened to Anna?”
“Papa saw you drop Anna on the street and she cried after that.” William shook his head in astonishment with the attitude of the Prince alone who he thought was outside the normal line.
Alan remembers the black BMW behind his car as he drops Anna off. And geez, he just realized if it was his Papa car. He did not ngeh because according to him BMW cars in Jakarta are many. Unfortunately, he was caught lowering Anna in the middle of the road by his own father. Now he is ready to accept the bad possibility that might happen.
“Why can you handle that for the woman you've wanted?” William gritted his teeth. “Since the beginning of your marriage, Papa did not understand your attitude that often treated Anna badly. Your attitude is strange and confusing. It's too late, Alan. Papa regrets marrying you to Anna. She's too innocent to cry you.”
“I came here to pick up Anna and I will make up for all my mistakes. Papa would never understand if I explained.”
“Actually your intention to marry Anna is for what?”
Alan did not answer. It was hard to tell what was in his heart. And if he talks at length about everything he feels, maybe his Papa won't be able to catch it with logic.
“If you don't love her, let her go!”
“Pa, ..”
“You love him?” ask William before Alan continues his words.
“I love him,” Alan replied and Wiliam researched the love Alan felt through the look in his eyes. Alan immediately turned his gaze to get a full gaze of research from his Papa.
