I'll Take What's Mine
33. As long as I can be with him, I will do anything part 2

As soon as he got to his house, he noticed that there was another car in his parents' yard. He walked into the living room and was greeted by his extended family. The first to learn of his presence was his mother then his father and then his uncle and aunt.

All welcome with joy, especially now present the figure of a new family member. The first grandchild of the Candall family.

“Grandmother's grandson, gosh. How very handsome he is.”

“Honey, say hello to grandma and grandpa.”

“Halo grandma, grandpa.”

“He's very smart, Zion's here. Hug grandpa.”

Zion ran straight to her grandfather. Meanwhile, Mrs Candall came straight for her daughter.

“You must have trouble there because you have to take care of Zion alone,” said Mrs Candall while stroking the mane of her only daughter's hair.

Aria smiled and hugged her mother.

“Aria, there's someone I want to introduce you to. It was Laskara Agnibrata. It was Marsdya. He was thirty-seven and still single.”

Aria observed the man. The man had a pair of sparkling eyes that looked like he was smiling. His face is handsome, he also looks handsome with a uniform that he wears. Aria has just realized that her mother set her up in a matchmaking session.

Laskara stood up loudly and looked a little awkward. He then reached out his hand to say hello immediately.

“Nice to meet you, I'm Laskara.”

Aria shook her hand. “Halo, I'm Aria.”

“Aria, Laskara spends much of her time military. It has a clean image. Your father suggested it be introduced to you.”

Aria nodded. “Mother, I'll go to the room to clean myself.”

“Alright, take a shower so you feel refreshed. You must be exhausted on the plane. Down soon, we'll have lunch together.”

Aria invites her son to go upstairs.

As soon as she cleans herself, Aria lies on her bed. He looked at the ceiling of his room while Sion had already gone downstairs. Playing with other family members.

Then a knock came from his room. The door of her room was not closed perfectly by Siom earlier so that once Aria turned her head she could immediately see the person who was in the doorway of her room.

“Do I bother you?”

“No.”

“Can I log in?”

“Ya,”

Aria immediately changed her position. He immediately sat on his bed while Laskara walked towards him and stopped in front of him. Laskara was busy admiring Aria's beautiful face. None of them told each other.

Aria who felt uneasy was looked at immediately cleared her throat. “Why do you look at me like that?”

“Oh, I'm sorry. I don't mean to be rude to you, it's just that you look a lot prettier in real life than the one in the photo.”

“Thank you, you also look handsome.”

Laskara immediately smiled in embarrassment.

“You didn't expect this matchmaking right?”

Laskara looked surprised and she immediately sat down next to Aria.

“Do you feel like leaving soon when you first find out that I am the one to be betrothed to you?”

“Why should I feel like that?”

“I'm a married woman and I have a son. Isn't that a pretty obvious reason.”

“I know exactly why?”

“This is the first time I met you and I have an interesting impression of you. What do you think of me?” Laskara asked Aria calmly.

“Yes, I'm glad to meet you. But I didn't expect that once I got home, I had to be faced with a matchmaking session.”

“We can start by becoming friends. The closer we get, the more we can build feelings together.”

“I plan not to marry again,” said Aria directly.

“Did you lose all faith in men?”

“Maybe.”

“But it could be that as time passes, you will put your trust in me. I hope you're part of my true love. Really, I said honestly. I was expecting it.”

Aria looked into Laskara's eyes. The man was clear with his determination. He was a good man chosen by his mother.

“I believe you so should I try it with friends first?” Ask Aria with a smile.

Laskara smiled when she heard Aria's words. There was a ripple in Laskara's heart. The man looked happy even though friendship was not something he did not want but it was not too bad.

They decided to go downstairs and meet the others.

Mrs Candall asked how they each felt. They throw compliments at each other. Mrs Candall was happy to hear that.

“Aria, so what do you think of him?” Aria asked as she was in the middle room. It looked like it was night and Laskara had permission to leave.

“He is very impressive.”

“That's no doubt. How could your father and I not have chosen such an impressive man. Be well connected with him. Have you exchanged numbers?”

Aria nodded and said,” Yes, already. But we plan to make friends first. We just met. There are still many pliers we haven't known each other.”

“Alright, it's okay to know each other first. But I hope you can be a match.”

“Bu, I don't want to rush. I'm afraid I'll regret it and I'm afraid he'll regret it too.”

Aria went straight to her room and called Yiren. He told her that he had gone home. Aria also tells about her match with Laskara.

The next day, Aria, Sion and Laskara go to a shopping mall. They look very harmonious. It's like a small family. Sion also seemed familiar with Laskara. Laskara also did not hesitate to hold the little boy's hand so that it was always within his reach.

As Aria is busy looking at a watch, Laskara tries to take the opportunity to stand closer to Aria. His hand slowly held Aria's shoulder.

“Aria!!”

Aria immediately turned around and her eyes met Kanva. Whether they realized the two or not but clearly, Kanva had already noticed them from earlier. Kanva deliberately follows Aria because she wants to see Aria.

Yesterday he was told by Aslan that Aria was back. How happy Kanva is to hear Aria back but she is also angry when she hears Aria is being betrothed to someone else.

Aria who is still fixated must be jolted because of a hard pull that makes it have to be unsteady. His body hit a solid object. Aria heard the voice of Zion. And Aria just realized that she was already in Kanva's arms while Laskara was lying on the floor. Zion's? Sion was placated by Franz. Franz distracted her.

“Who are you?” Shouted Laskara got up and tried to pull Aria from the Kanva's grip.

“Do not interfere!” Jerky Kanva makes misgivings.

“Kanva.”

“I want to talk to you.”

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Aria stared at Kanva calmly. As if that had not happened. The same thing happened with Kanva. The two of them are now in the living room of Kanva's house. A house that bears witness to the silence of their past stories. Zion is still with Franz.

“I'm already here, say what you want to say.”

“Aria , I'm sorry.”
