Part 54 I Just Want to Be Happy

Bian swept his gaze around every corner of the usual guest room in Alea. Her lips smiled bitterly, as the pain again sliced through her heart.

'I'm stupid, letting you sleep here, while I let Amara control the room that should be our two beds.'

'At that time, you must have been very angry with me.'

Bian squeezed his chest tight, as he recalled how he and Amara had chased Alea out of the upper room.

'Instance ....'

Bian stepped his foot into Alea's wardrobe, then opened it. Several rows of Alea's clothes were still neatly stored there. It seemed, Alea had indeed intentionally not brought her clothes, as she decided to leave the house. Because Alea only brought a change of clothes brought by Mbok Sumi while in the hospital.

Bian picked up one of Alea's clothes, then smelled it deeply, as if the scent of Alea's body was left there. Though clearly, the shirt smells of clothes softener.

Bian's tears flowed back, he sobbed while covering his face with Alea's shirt still clinging to his sense of smell.

'I miss you Alea, miss you so much ....'

'Honey ... Where are you?'

Bian's cry broke. After Alea's departure, he realized that Alea was very important to him, he realized that, in fact, half of his heart had been taken by Alea.

'Alea .. You're right, it's too late. I too late realized how important and meaningful you are in my heart.'

'I love you Alea, it's just, I'm late to realize it ....'

*****

Alea smiled, as she finished re-examining her writing. Being unemployed, it turns out bad. Just eating, sleeping, and walking. Have no income. Finally, in order to fill her free time, Alea decided to return to writing online novels for a while.

Rather than continue to sink into her grief, because of Bian, Alea's silence filled her time with writing. As he was busy playing his laptop, suddenly the figure of a handsome man was standing before him without him noticing.

"So seriously, until I didn't realize I was coming." A familiar voice filled his hearing. Alea looked up, the net found Kenzo looking at him with a look of annoyance.

"Ken!" Alea shouted, then immediately hugged Kenzo in a hurry, until he almost fell down.

"Be careful." Kenzo grabbed Alea's body, which was about to fall down, then held the woman in his arms.

For almost two weeks, Kenzo had not met this woman. His longing was so hot. Now, the woman he loved so much was already near him, in his arms.

"Are you okay, as long as I'm gone?" Kenzo scanned Alea's pretty face, before finally re-submerging the face into her arms.

"I'm fine, Ken."

"I miss Al, very."

"I am too."

"really?" Kenzo let go of his embrace. Alea nodded innocently. Then his hand hugged the man's body.

"Don't get me wrong, I miss you like always. Not because I ...."

"I understand, don't go on," cut Kenzo, he didn't want to spoil the atmosphere, which he thought was very romantic. He realized, he would not be able to force Alea, moreover, right now, Alea was heartbroken, a word of it. He was sure, right now, Alea must be traumatized. Trauma to men.

"Hm ...."

"What are you doing? to get serious?" Kenzo was curious, he then let go of his embrace. And look towards the laptop that is still on.

"You writing?" Alya smiled, then nodded.

"Instead of me being unemployed, her job was just eating and sleeping. There, I'm sadder to be." Alea's lips pursed, making Bian instantly scramble Alea's hair with anxiety.

"From tomorrow, you can work at my restaurant, which is here," Kenzo said as he stared at Alea, who was immediately sparkling, upon hearing the verbs.

"I'm not a girl, if you forget," Alea protested.

"Yes, you're not a girl, but a widow, a very seductive widow." Kenzo laughed.

"Ken!"

"Agot!" Kenzo grimaced, as Alea suddenly pinched him.

"For Al, my goodness!" Kenzo avoided Alea's hand wanting to pinch her waist back. Then he grabbed Alea's body, and hugged her back.

"I've taken care of all my work in Jakarta, I'll stay and settle down here."

"Don't tell me you want to stay in this house, with me." Alea looked up, he grimaced, as Kenzo's hand suddenly flicked his forehead.

"I'm not going to live here, but I'm going to live in my apartment, which is not far from here" Kenzo explained.

Alea simply nodded, hearing Kenzo's explanation.

"Tell you, rich sir." Alea smiled, as she found Kenzo's face pouting immediately. Kenzo does not like, if he is called a rich man, even though it is true.

" Let's eat, I'll bring you some food" Kenzo said. Then, he headed for the kitchen followed by Alea behind him.

"I met your parents yesterday." Alea stopped her mouthful, hearing Kenzo's words.

"They came to the restaurant, with Mbok Sumi," Kenzo explained.

"They've kicked Bian out of the house and the company, they're asking you to go home, and go back to your house, because it's yours."

"Oh my God ...." Alea put her spoon on the plate.

"Did they not think of me at all? They told me to go back to a house that holds a lot of bitter memories, for me?" Alea looked at Kenzo in annoyance.

"I'd rather give the house to Bian, than go back, and live in the house." Alea looked at Kenzo who was staring at him, then he resumed eating.

"They also told you to take care of the company."

"I don't want to."

Kenzo looked at Alea who looked annoyed.

"I want to live as I want. You know very well, how I'm doing now." Alea looked at Kenzo deeply.

"I just want to be happy Ken, is that wrong?" Alea looked at Kenzo with both eyes glazed over. Making Kenzo instantly rise from his seat, and instantly carrying Alea into his arms.

"I'll never go back there, Ken, I can't. All the bitter memories in that house always haunt me, and it torments me so much, Ken, I can't handle it." Alea's tears finally spilled. Sadness filled his heart. How could his parents have told him to go back to the house? Alea smiled bitterly, even to this stage, her parents, still did not think about her feelings.

"I just want to be happy Ken ...."

"Allow me to make you happy Al, allow me to continue to be by your side, so that I can make you happy" whispered Kenzo as she tightened her arms at Alea.

'I love you, really love you Alea, I promise, I won't let you cry anymore.'
