I Can'T Have Your Heart.
Areta's Promise.

Dareen hastily stepped over to Alpha who was still hanging his body in the workspace while checking some important documents of his company.

"Young Master," Call Dareen looking panicked.

"What's wrong?"

"Our men are fast with Mr. Chirs' man," Dareen's repulsive reply left Kenzie shocked, his eyes widening sharply at Dareen.

"What do you mean?" Tanya Alpha shuts down the laptop hard.

"That girl.. "

"WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT GIRL?" Alpha shouted up from his seat and immediately gripped the monkey in Dareen's clothes.

"The other morning his body was found in the middle of the road not far from the supermarket." Dareen replied slowly which made Alpha surprised by the feeling of anger and fear that was now mixed in his heart.

"WHAT?"

"And the good news is that the girl's life can still be saved, but there's another problem, sir, the girl.. "

"What's? SAY IT CLEARLY."

"The girl was critical in the hospital, and.. " Dareen stopped his sentence with a gaze that was still pointing towards Alpha who was still clutching the ape of his clothes.

"Speak Dareen,"

"Madam was also dying in the same hospital, the hospital where the girl was being treated." Said Dareen who made Alpha speechless just before a smile can be seen on Alpha's face.

"Tsk, he's finally done it too, we're going to the hospital now." Reply Alpha who immediately stepped out of his room and followed by Dareen towards his car which was not long ago the car was already speeding very fast.

"ARRGHGHHHC... "

Shouting Alpha with a tight voice that filled the car, his eyes seemed to be mirrored with a heart that was increasingly covered in fear and anxiety.

"Didn't I tell you last night to keep an eye on the girl?" Ask Alpha with a flat face that looks scary.

"Sorry sir, our guys are a little late, it looks like they've been eyeing the girl since yesterday's incident." Reply Dareen who chose to focus on his wheel instead of looking at the current Alpha expression which looks very scary. Highlight the sharp eyes with graham that seemed clearly drawn on his cheeks.

That expression again, Actually how much do you feel about that foreign girl Sir..

And when looking at the expression as well as the killer eyes from Alpha's face, Dareen as an Assistant who has known Alpha for a long time, chose to find safety and silence without a single word. Because he knows, if the current condition of the heart and Alpha temperament is bad.

"AARGHH SIAALL'S... CHRISS. Just look, I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life. Dareen, make sure you take care of everything, take all those stocks with nothing left." Speak Alpha with the gaze of the eye used filled with hatred.

"Good Sir"

"And before I get there, the girl has to be moved to the VVIP room." Alpha Khandra ordered.

"Yes sir, I'll call Doctor Wil to move the girl immediately." Reply Dareen while reaching for his phone and being seen contacting someone, up to 5 minutes passed, Dareen refocused on his 30-minute drive, the black Alphard parked right in front of the hospital door, and quickly the four Alpha bodyguards approached the car and immediately escorted the man surnamed Berta to enter the hospital.

With wide strides Alpha walks into the elevator to go to the 10th floor of the VVIP room. Until his steps stopped in front of the door of the room VVIP where the middle standing Areta who was bowing welcomed the arrival of Alpha who seemed to be frowning when glancing into the room room that there still lay the body of his wife.

Alpha puts on a smile and then continues to step into another VVIP room just a few metres from his wife's room in the care of him now.

"Aren't you going to see Madam for a minute?" Ask Dareen who continued to follow Alpha's broad steps that were getting away from his wife's room.

"Do you think I'll spend my precious time looking at it? I don't even care." Answer Alpha flat that goes directly into the VVIP room, leaving Dareen and Areta who can only stare at each other.

"How is the current state of the Madam?" Dareen asked as he approached Areta who was still silent in front of the door of Inap Emery's room with a feeling of sadness.

"Monya is unconscious, yet" replied Areta, bowed limp.

"What's going on? Why is Madam here? and that wound.. " Dareen stared at Areta's face with a bruise on the corner of her lips.

"Ah this, I'm fine Sir," Areta replied as she waved her hand with a smile that adorned her tired face.

You son of a bitch, even he hurt Areta for what happened to her son. Dareens.

"And madam, he took too much sedative, to over dosage, and.. "

"Yes I understand." Dareen took a deep breath with a slow nod.

"I'm sorry Mr. Dareen if I'm presumptuous to ask, but.. "

"What's Areta?"

"Who is being visited by the Great Lord?" Areta asked as she turned her gaze towards the VVIP room not far from her standing now.

"It looks like the patient who is in there is very important" continued Areta when she saw some Alpha guards who were guarding the VVIP room.

Well, you're right, since two days ago that girl has become very important to Mr. Alpha. Dareens.

"Well, maybe you're right." Dareen replied which made Areta more agitated.

Is there someone more important than your wife Emery?

"Are you okay?" Dareen asked as she looked at the expression of the woman still standing before her, until a slow nod from the woman made Dareen stop looking at her and re-turn his eyes into the room of Emery's hospital where there still appears Emery who is lying with an infusion hose still attached to his arm.

"Alright. I'll catch up with Young Master,"

"Okay sir, Thank you for your visit here." Areta replied.

"Hm.. " Reply Dareen replied slowly. "And you, should be able to take care of yourself again, lest they do anything to you again." continued Dareen before continuing his steps.

"Tu.. Mr. Dareen.. " Call Areta slowly who instantly stopped Dareen's footsteps before finally turning her back to look at Areta who was still standing there.

While Areta who is still fixated on the door of the room Emery can only be silent staring at the back of Dareen who has disappeared behind the door of the room. The woman knows very well that if Dareen is a very frail man among the people who are in the Mansion, Dareen's gentle and considerate attitude is very similar to Almarhuma's mother, Areta's best friend.

Your son is very similar to you, he grew up to be a very kind and caring child, he is also soft-hearted just like you Daniah,

Inner Areta who immediately wiped the tears that dripped from the corner of her eyes when she realized. Until the last sentence spoken from the mouth of Daniah before exhaling his last breath again gaped in Areta's memory.

"Can you take care of my son? Reta.. don't let my Dareen deal with the Cullens, keep him away from the Cullens. I beg you. I don't want, my son fared the same as Berta's, and his father and mother.."

Areta took a deep breath, her body shaking as she recalled Daniah's request, a request she couldn't keep, because in reality Dareen was around the Cullen family, even becoming Cullen's assistant daughter-in-law.

I'm sorry Daniah, sorry.I failed to keep my promise to you, I can't protect your son, because right now your son prefers to protect Mr. Alpha, rather than protect himself. He even looks like his father. And you better not worry about Daniah, your son a tough and strong man, he's also a smart man, I'm sure, he will definitely be able to protect the people around him.

Areta slowly moved from her seat and immediately stepped into Emery's room, on the seat of his body on the sofa while looking at Emery's body still lying there.

Miss Carolyn, don't you miss your daughter? he's lying there right now, and I'm sure Emery must miss you a lot.

Inner Areta, tampa he realized that Emery had shown a response with his index finger that began to move. Seeing that made Areta who had been dissolved in her daydream suddenly jerked and immediately moved from her seat, approached Emery's bed and pressed the green button to call the Doctor.

"Mrs... "

Call Areta slowly as Emery's eyelids begin to move little by little, until she can finally open her eyes after 24 hours of coma.

"Bi Reta's.. "

Call Emery slowly with a voice that still sounds hoarse as his eyes look at the face of the middle-aged woman beside him who appears to be smiling happily with tears that continue to drip from the corner of his eyes. Until Doctor Wilfreed and several other nurses came and immediately checked Emery's condition which still looks very weak.

"Thank God, Madam is fine now." Doctor Wilfreed said with the widest smile on his lips.

"Madam's heart rate is back to normal, but Mrs Emery still has to rest well, until her condition is completely restored." Obviously Doctor Wilfreed who was nodding back by Areta.

"Okay, Doctor Wil, thank you." Reply Areta bowed.

"Yes" replied Doctor Wilfreed, bowing slightly before walking out of the room.

Doctor Wilfreed Maximilian is a personal doctor and Alpha's best friend who deliberately treated Emery at Dareen's request. Because by looking at the ability of Doctor Wilfreed, Dareen believes that Emery will recover very quickly, he said, until he does not have to see Areta who is constantly agitated and afraid to face the anger of Mr. Chris for what happened with his son Emery.

Slowly Areta approached Emery who was still pensive on the bed with her empty gaze that made Areta again worried. How not, he could see the deep sadness on the face and eyes Emery still looks cute, he said, even Areta could feel that Emery was not happy at all when she woke up from a coma and found herself doing well.

"Mrs.. "

"It turns out I'm still fine" Emery murmured in a disappointed tone.

"Mrs, what the lady is talking about,"

"Why did Aunt Reta save me?" Ask Emery slowly.

"What does Madam mean?"

"Aunti Reta should just let me die." Emery said with a trembling voice.

"Madam, don't talk like that."

"But I don't want to live anymore,"

Emery replied bowed again with tears that began to drip from the corner of his eye.

"I beg your lady don't say that again,"

"I had no choice but to stop breathing Bi, should Aunt Reta not have brought me here."

"Mrs.. Who says you have no choice? You still have a lot of options, and you just have to choose what you will take."

"No... I don't even have the right to vote." Reply Emery again curled up while continuing to sob. The disappointment he feels at the moment is huge, If he can choose, he prefers to die for now, Emery who has lost hope since then makes him reluctant to continue living again, ever since the man he loved so much even asked himself to die.

And until this moment he still does not understand, why Alpha so hate him. If only he knew the purpose and purpose of his father marrying him off for treasure, there was no way Alpha would be that hateful to him.

In Silence, Emery's tears continued to fall, while Areta who had been staring at Emery could only be silent with a painful feeling in her heart. Areta doesn't even have a word to cheer up or strengthen Emery at the moment, she can only touch the shaky shoulder to rub it softly, hope that small touch can calm the heart of Emery who is really slumped at this time.

"Bi." call Emery slowly.

"Yes, Madam,"

"Mother.. does she feel the same way?" Emery asked who was still curled up to hide his face under the covers. His voice sounded hoarse and heavy.

"Did Mom cry often?" Emery asked once again, as did Areta who was still silent, although she could hear very clearly Emery's question.

"What did you do at that time? Is Mom the same as me?"

"Mrs.. It's best for Madam Israhat, so that her health can recover as soon as possible" said Areta, instead of answering Emery's questions.

Maybe the pain felt by Mrs Carolyn used to be much greater and painful than Emery at this time, Areta who felt pain when she saw the two women who were hurt for loving a man who did not love them enough to make her sad.

Hang on a little bit more Madam, I'm sure, the mistress will be much tougher than the Madam who gave up and decided to leave everything behind.

Areta gently rubbed Emery's sleeping back with tears still wetting both cheeks, rubbing Emery's long hair that looked like it was tangled with affection.

"Whatever happens to me later, I ask for one thing, never leave Emery, please take care of him like you're looking after me right now."

Carolyn's words that Areta always remembered until now, and that's the reason, why until now Areta has always been beside Emery, even whenever Areta will always be beside Emery, he said, until he could see the woman happy.
