Stranger's In Love
46|OUR EXPORT

Zean parked his car in Kim's yard.

Zean took off his seatbelt and looked at Irene who was still silent while touching her stomach.

“Are you worried?” ask Zean.

Irene turned to look at Zean, then nodded limply in response yes.

Today Irene and Zean gathered everyone together to explain everything. Irene will not marry Kim because the child she is carrying is currently the son of Zean, the man she loves so much. Irene felt fear and anxiety about her family's reaction later, when she found out the truth.

Zean took off Irene's seatbelt, then hugged the girl.

“Do not worry. We'll explain everything, and everything will be fine” Zean paused on his speech then stroked the top of Irene's head.

“Trust me, Irene” he continued then kissed her forehead.

Irene closed her eyes slowly, she felt a warm kiss of Zean landing on her forehead capable of making her feel at ease and calmer at the moment.

In the living room, everyone was gathered waiting for Irene and Zean to arrive. Irene and Zean entered the living room, in the room were Daniel, Geraldine, Alice and Kim sitting on the sofa staring at them.

The deg! Irene gulped with difficulty seeing the gazes of everyone in this room looking at her coldly.

Zean clasped Irene's hand, as if he knew how nervous Irene was right now.

“What do you want to say?” daniel opened his voice.

Irene and Zean looked at each other for a moment and then they took turns staring at each other in this room. The tense atmosphere dominated the air in the living room at this time, somehow disappointed and confused they were when they found out the truth.

“We will marry” replied Zean.

Silent. No one responded to Zean. Everyone in the room was busy struggling with his mind trying to digest Zean's words.

Daniel folded his arms in front of his chest and stared intently at Zean and Irene. “Are you guys joking?” ask Daniel.

Just now Zean was about to reply, Gerald preceded him.

“What really happened? Why did you suddenly ask all of us to come and get together, then you told us all that you were getting married?” said Gerald.

Gerald shook his head slowly, he was completely confused at this moment.

“Wait a minute, Arzean. How could your marriage to Rebecca be annulled and Rebecca instead marry your sister, James Lorwerth?” ask Alice who feels confused and strange about all these events.

While Kim was just silent about what would happen next, he was still reluctant to open his voice.

Irene and Zean looked at each other, as if thinking of the answers to all those questions. Everything will be so complicated when explained, even going through all this feels so heavy for Irene and Zean.

Irene sighed slowly, she tried to gather some energy to start explaining what happened.

“I'm sorry, I. I'm really sorry to have hidden all this from you guys, I didn't mean but I couldn't” Irene gave a pause to her words, she tried to speak calmly.

Daniel, Gerald, Alice and Kim are even more confused by Irene's words. However, they chose to be quiet and wait for Irene to continue her words.

“Actually—”

“Irene and I love each other” cut Zean.

Zean knew that the girl was really nervous right now to tell the truth was not difficult, Irene just thought too much about how upset and disappointed everyone in the room was.

“The child Irene conceived was my son” Zean said.

Daniel shuffled his hair in frustration.

“Omong empty what are you saying!” Daniel was getting upset.

How Daniel is not upset, the other two days are Irene's wedding day with Kim. And on this very day he heard that Zean and Irene loved each other? What kind of game is this?

“No way” Alice shrieked, her body squeezed and Gerald embraced her so as not to fall.

Alice was really shocked, what had she been doing all this time? Why can't he be a good sister to Irene? So all this time Irene was going through difficult things that Alice herself did not know.

“You've really gone crazy!” annoyed Gerald, it felt like he wanted to hit whatever was in front of him at this moment.

Irene lowered her head, and seconds later the water droplets again, she cried. Irene knew, right now she had managed to make everyone in this room feel disappointed by her.

Irene smiled as Zean clasped her hands, she felt a little calmer.

Irene raised her head then re-assembled her strength to stare at everyone in this room.

“I'm sorry for all of this, sorry to disappoint you” said Irene sincerely.

Kim smiled and moved from her seat.

“Isn't all this done. Now we know even Irene and Zean love each other and the child Irene conceived was Zean's child. So, the wedding of two more days will still take place, the marriage between Irene and Zean” said Kim who finally opened his voice.

Daniel glanced at Kim at a glance then made a face as Kim looked back at him.

“Children like you must think of marriage as a mere” game, Daniel said.

Irene laughed when she heard Daniel. Funny and sad, the words were thrown from a divorced and remarried Daniel Ricardo.

“What Dad is joking about?” Irene asked Daniel.

Daniel raised his eyebrows while looking at Irene. “What do you mean?” Daniel asked back.

Gerald began to realize, it seemed like Irene was going to cross the line talking to her father.

“Take your word while talking to dad, Irene” Gerald warned Irene.

Irene smiled softly. “What do you know, Gerald?” ask Irene.

Gerald clenched his hands in annoyance, but Alice tried to calm him down.

“Irene's right. What do you know, Gerald? You don't even know anything” Kim said as if one opinion with Irene.

Daniel began to be confused, where the direction of this conversation will be.

“Gerald” calls Irene to her sister.

Gerald looked at Irene with all the question marks on his mind.

“Mom never really left us, Mom left us because of Dad. Because of the man he loved so much, making love to another woman in front of his eyes. And that woman is Carla Darbost, who is still officially his wife Dad” explained Irene.

The deg! Daniel closed his eyes and bowed, never expecting his daughter to know the truth.

Gerald choked, his breath tight his eyes began to turn red. During this time he thought that Ainsley left the Ricardo family because he preferred his doctor's career over his family and children. Gerald cursed himself for the hatred he gave his mother. I'm sorry Gerald, Ainsley.

“At that time, Aunt Ainsley returned to Korea and passed her hardest days in this house, every day she misses her children and she always hopes that you don't hate her if someday you are given the chance to meet intentionally or accidentally. His eyes began to hurt, his heart was tight if he remembered the moment he saw Ainsley crying while hugging the Ricardo Family photo.

“Ainsley's aunt is a strong woman, she's a strong woman because she can still survive to this day. Him

always hope to meet and regroup with his small family, which even until this moment feels so impossible to be real” continued Kim.

Daniel rubbed his eyes, which he unknowingly shed tears as he heard every word that came out of Kim's mouth about the woman he loved, Ainsley.

“What is all this right, Dad?” gerald asked with the rest of the energy he had from all the disappointments slapping him at this moment.

“Excuse me, I” said Daniel sincerely.

Gerald sighed softly and clenched his hands tightly, it felt like he was so angry at himself that he had hated his own mother all along. Alice tried to calm down by hugging Gerald who was so devastated by the current disappointment.

“I want us to make our family a happy little family. I would like, the day before my wedding day, please come back even if it's just one night. I want our little family to make up before my happy day, please” Irene.

Daniel got up from his seat, and stretched out his arms as if he wanted to hug his son and daughter.

Irene and Gerald looked at each other for a moment, then they got up from their seats and hugged Daniel.

“Sometimes we have to forget the past for a moment, to be happy even for a moment” Daniel told his children.
