"You're gonna really fall in love with that girl if you keep seeing her like that?" Said Leon slowly who also helped set his gaze towards the Flower Shop on the other side.
"He was very similar to Edrea." Reply Alpha tampa shifted his gaze even a little from there.
"Edrea?" Leon asked.
"Hm.. "
Answer the short Alpha who again remembers the figure of Edrea first, a cheerful girl with a funny level and also careless. Until making the Alpha face that was filled with smiles suddenly turned moody with slightly glazed eyes.
Although two years have passed, Alpha has not been able to forget the tragic events experienced by his sister, he still remembered how Edrea's body was filled with blood and wounds all over his body. Even lastly, Edrea had to die from a gunshot wound to the head.
Even today he still has not fully forgiven Chris Cullen's actions on his family, even though the man has died. And that is also the reason Alpha rejects the cooperative relationship between his Company and the Elfredo family-owned company which is quite large and quite famous, he said, although BRT GROUP Company is still at the top of the rankings and outperforms other Companies including Elfredo Family Company.
I'm sure you're happy there, sorry brother, because you haven't forgotten everything.
"Are you okay?"
Leon asked slowly as he patted the soft shoulders of Alpha who was beginning to dissolve in his past daydream filled with anger and pain.
"Hm.. I just miss Edrea a little bit" Alpha replied, nodding slowly.
Although Leon was not in Korea at the time, he knew all about their family's past. And even though until this very second, Leon himself did not know the true cause of the mother died. Alpha will keep all these secrets and will keep them covered up, just enough to know about them, because he did not want to make Leon feel sad and vengeful as he had felt for many years.

With a slightly hasty move Alpha left his Cafe before locking it from the outside. The clock has shown at 22:00 p.m., and Alpha will only be home after waiting for his last customers to leave his Cafe. Tonight visitors at the Cafe are quite crowded, because the arrival of tourists who amounted to enough to make him intervene to help Leon and his three employees who are overwhelmed to serve their foreign customers. Leon had left the cafe and went home in his own car.
While glancing at the circular watch on his arm, Alpha stepped wide towards his motorbike parked beside his Cafe and immediately put on his helmet, until finally his net caught the shadow of a girl who appeared to be standing alone, with a look of bewilderment in front of his Shop.
Is he not going home? Isn't it too late?
Inner Alpha while putting on a hand shirt and directly riding the motor, turn on the engine, with a little step on the gas while pulling the clutch, until the motor began to go at medium speed. I don't know what was inside Alpha thought when he saw Starla again through the rearview mirror of his motorcycle that was still standing in front of his Shop while putting his hands together and blowing it to feel warm. While the night is getting late.
Gosh darn.. Why should I care.
"Aren't you going home?"
Ask Alpha who turned out to turn his motorbike and immediately stopped right in front of Starla who was still sculpting like a mannequin doll in a clothing store.
"I'll be home soon, me.."
"What's wrong?" Alpha asked frowning as he looked at Starla who seemed confused.
"I, losing my car keys and not being able to find it, either fell where," replied Starla who was slightly stammered while holding back the nervousness that befell her suddenly.
Turns out Yoon was right, she was a careless girl.
"Then?"
"I was waiting for a taxi, but.... " Answer replied, Starla gave a stiff smile with her lips slightly shaking from the cold air.
Alpha frowned while glancing at the watch that was coiled around his arm, it was already quite late, shouldn't a girl be outside at this hour.
"Let me drive you home."
"Huh?" Starla suddenly gawks when she hears Alpha's offer to drive her home.
"Go home, are you going to stay there?"
Alpha asked, while Starla was still fixated, as if she still could not believe her hearing at the moment, how not, no, in between by a man who even just this morning knew his name was a huge happiness by Starla, that made her forget to say 'yes' alpha raises his eyebrows again to wait for a response from Starla.
"Are you waiting for someone to pick you up?"
"Ah no... No. gabe... Jaa.. I agree."
Reply Starla a little run towards the Alpha motor.
"But I only carry one helmet, it's okay, right?"
"Ah, that's no problem."
Just to be close to you, not using a helmet is not a problem for me.
Starla's mind smiled as she watched Alpha preparing to start the engine while waiting for Starla to board her bike. Until not long ago the Alpha motorbike drove away from the Shop and across the streets of Munich which began to be covered by snow grains.
"Sorry, you can put your hand in my jacket pocket if you feel cold."
Alpha spoke as she felt Starla's slightly quivering body resist the cold.
"Ta.. But.. I'm gonna... " Hugging you.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Ask Alpha slowly.
"Ah no.. Not so, but if I put my hand in your jacket pocket, I will automatically.. " Starla stopped her sentence again.
"No problem, it's just a hug. Just so you don't freeze in the cold. I'm fine." Reply Alpha who has understood with Starla's intention to feel hesitant if he has to hug her body.
"I'm sorry if I've been troubling you." Said Starla slowly.
"It doesn't matter, I'm the one who wants to take you home, so you don't have to feel shy." Alpha replies that make Starla's heart re-flowered.
Even I don't want this to pass quickly, it's really comfortable to be next to you.
Starla's inner self, especially when her sense of smell breathed in the masculine scent emanating from Alpha's body, a scent so distinctive, that Starla tightened her arms and made Alpha a little surprised.
"Do you feel so cold? You can use my jacket" asked Alpha who was ready to pull the bike off.
"Ah no need, you will also freeze if you lend me the jacket, no problem, I'm warm enough."
"You sure?" Alpha asked hesitantly, upon hearing Starla's voice sounding vibrating.
"Yes, I'm fine, thank you."
Reply Starla nodded, although her nod was not seen by Alpha who returned to ride her motorcycle when Starla mentioned her residential address. Up to 25 minutes of their journey, the D16RR Alpha's Desmosedici D16R is parked in front of an apartment.
"Thank you Mr. Alpha" said Starla with a slight bow as she got off Starla's bike with a slightly shaking body.
"Hey.. Don't call me that, just call me Alpha."
"Ah yes.. Thanks Alpha,"
"Hm.. Come in, you've got cold." Alpha said while blaming the engine.
"And next time, can you be more careful?" Alpha speech that only nods by Starla.
"alright.. Once again thank you," Reply Starla, who was only nodding back by Alpha, who immediately left Starla, who was still glued in front of an apartment building, with her hand holding her chest, and her, while feeling the rhythm of his heart that continues to pound since earlier.
You're a very warm man, Mr. Alpha, it doesn't even take time to be around you.
Starla's mind while taking a deep breath, inhaling the masculine scent of Alpha still clinging to the clothes she was wearing.

* PANTHOUSE ALPHA KHANDRA.
"All.."
"Mother? Mommy's not asleep?" Alpha asked when he found Mrs Aleen still sitting on a living room sofa.
"Mom, it's late, why haven't you slept?" Ask Alpha again as he approaches his mother.
"Mother is waiting for you, why are you so late, it's so late." Madam Aleen replied as she rubbed the head of Alpha gently.
"Who are you taking home?"
Leon's discordant voice suddenly emerged from behind the bedroom door with messy looking hair complete with white striped blue pajamas.
"The flower girl." Answer Alpha briefly.
"What's?/who?"
Leon and Lady Aleen asked simultaneously, which made Alpha take a deep breath over the cohesiveness of his Mother and cousin.
"You serious? deliver the wild horse, to his house?" Leon's question convinced his hearing.
"Hm.. "
"Wild horse? Who?" Madam Aleen asked with her innocent face while staring at Alpha and Leon in turn.
"Bi's florist girl, All's secret admirer." Reply Leon who made Lady Aleen sparkle happily and looked back at her son's still silent face with a flat expression as usual.
"So you just drove a girl? Girls?" Ask Mrs Aleen once more.
"Hm.. I'm just helping her Mom, nothing more." Answer Alpha.
"Well.. And whether you realize it or not you've made your secret admirer very happy, I'd bet that right now, maybe he's jumping around in his room with excitement." Reply Leon smiled.
"Confidential admirer?" Ask Mrs Aleen again in confusion.
"Iya Bi, the girl who was in the middle of the house just now was the girl who had been fond of this Aunt's son for a long time." Leon answered tampa concerned about the look of Alpha's face that already looks flushed.
"really? Butwhy... " Task Mrs Aleen who kept asking.
"Yoon, don't you joke, where there might be such a girl who likes a guy for up to that long." Reply Alpha while securing himself on the sofa.
"Don't I tell you, only an abnormal girl would like Alpha, and the most obvious proof is Starla, the flower girl's been liking Auntie's kid for two years."
"What's? Two years?"
"Hm.. Because Aunt's handsome son isn't so sensitive, so he doesn't know."
Leon replied while glancing at Alpha who was getting flushed, even though Alpha was trying to pretend to be deaf and deliberately did not respond to Leon's words which he considered just nonsense, but he also had time to think when several times he always found the flower seller girl always stay in front of the Cafe every morning with a sweet smile, as well as the night before he came home. And it was enough to convince him that Leon's words were not just nonsense, even though Alpha was still not convinced.
"All.. As a man you should be more sensitive to your surroundings." Madam Aleen said softly.
"Hm. I'd better not trust Yoon too much."
"So you want to tell me if I'm just saying nonsense? What if we asked... "
"Yaaakk." cried Alpha looks nervous.
"What? Yaakk... Unleash it.. You're making me cramped." Leon screamed as Alpha flanked his neck with his burly arm.
"Stop talking nonsense."
"Yaakk. release.."
"Stop both of you, you'd better take it seriously." Mrs Aleen said through the struggle of the two of them.
"Yes ma'am, but I have to check my email first." Reply Alpha while releasing Leon's thin body from his cage which immediately threw a sofa pillow toward Alpha who immediately moved from his seat after being satisfied to torture Leon who was almost out of breath.
"Don't forget the vitamins, you should take them." Said Mrs Aleen who was still looking at the back of Alpha who had passed until her shadow disappeared behind the door.
"Yoon, are you sure that girl likes All?" Ask Mrs Aleen who is filled with curiosity.
"Very sure."
"So.. The girl you mean the wild horse.. That right?"
"I was just joking Bi, why is Aunt being so serious like that, Starla is a good girl, and cheerful, she is also a hardworking and not spoiled type of girl." Reply Leon which makes Mrs Aleen even more curious.
"really? Looks like she's an amazing girl, Auntie sure, that girl seems like a perfect fit to be All's companion, right?" Ask Lady Aleen expectantly.
"Well, Starla is a great fit for All."
"So that girl's name was Starla? What a beautiful name." Praise Mrs Aleen.
"Iyaa Bi," Reply Leon nodded confidently with a smile. So is the case with Mrs Aleen who is happy. For a long time Mrs Aleen wanted an Alpha to be close to a girl.
Even since the first time he did not require his son to choose a girl with perfect criteria, because only one wanted by Mrs Aleen, which is to be able to see Alpha happy, she said, with anyone and from whatever side the girl is, she just wants the girl to love Alpha sincerely without seeing the satus and caste of their family.

* KOREAN/SEOUL.
* LUCAS ELFREDO RESIDENCE.
"How was the result of the meeting with BRT GROUP earlier, is there any good news?"
Asked a tall man sitting on a sofa with a glass of champagne in his hand.
"It looks like BRT GROUP is still not willing to cooperate with our Company." Reply Keano Vafian, Assistant Lucas Elfredo.
"See, you arrogant bastard, I'm curious as to who owns the BRT GROUP company, why he keeps hiding behind his assistant's armpits." Lucas replies looking furious.
"As I heard, if Mr. Alpha Khandra is not in Korea at the moment, sir, but is in Germany."
"Alpha Khandra's.. Khandra Alpha.. Look at it later, I will definitely succeed in making his Company cooperate with my Company." Reply to the tall, burly man while again sipping champagne in his hand. Smirk's smile was clearly visible on his flat face which looked cold and stiff.
"Then what about the young lady? Have you found his hiding place by now?" Lucas asked again, which Keano returned with a headband.
"Not yet Sir, sorry. Our people are still searching for the whereabouts of the great Miss."
"You should have worked hard. You know, I don't want anything to happen to my woman, do you understand Ken?" Lucas said with great emphasis.
"Yes Young Master, I understand."
"You can get out."
Reply lucas while leaning his body on the back of the sofa. His eyes scanned the upper ceiling of his room. The shadow of a woman who had been filling his mind and heart was again present in his memory.
"What are you doing today, don't you miss me, you've long since disappeared Honey, come back.. I miss you so much."
Lucas's small murmur still continued to stare at the ceiling of the room which felt very quiet. Only the sound of a wall clock ticking could be heard in the corner of the room.
"I hate you, I don't want to see you again.. "
"Honey I'm sorry, isn't it as long as you're always forgiving my mistakes? I never meant to do that, it wasn't my wish."
"But I can't forgive you anymore, Lucas, I'm so disappointed in you... "
"I know you'll forgive me, you love me so much, you can't leave me. Please don't leave me,"
"You're wrong.. I'm gonna go.. Don't ever look for me again."
"No honey.. I can't get away from you, you can't just walk away, don't you love me? you said you'd always be with me, I beg you not to go.. "
"DON'T GOIIIII.... "
