Darren leaves the room first after Arthur ends their conversation about work and their next plan not to let go of Jorge. The old man was so cunning and could have detonated a time bomb that would not have been owned by Arthur at this time.
Darren's steps swung towards the courtyard. Honestly, he was so curious about the figure of Meisha that he heard had a lot of changes. But his steps stopped immediately when he saw the friendly scene of Elie along with Mike in the foyer hallway that connects access to the yard.
Highlight his eyes were so sharp, watching the lips of the two newlyweds twine around each other. Anyone who sees will know if they are in love drunk, because it exudes an aura of happiness.
Darren took a deep breath. His feelings for Elie had been trying to get rid of. Moreover, seeing the woman so happy, then there is no reason for her to be a barrier to their love. But honestly there is still a speck of love for Elie that is still residing in his heart. Because he is not the type of man who imposes one's feelings, so he easily let go of his feelings were not welcomed before struggling.
Darren again continued his steps towards the courtyard, the center of his view while there was Meisha. The figure of the little girl who used to follow her every time they met. Meisha was four years older than her, but her spoiled attitude seemed younger than her.
"Der, come here." Jolicia waved to Darren, for the man to approach them.
Darren nodded, he immediately stepped towards the chair. "How are you doing May?" her reply was to Meisha who was staring confusedly at him. Jolicia was confused by the lips that cut forward, why only Meisha was called.
"You.... Are you really Darren?" Meisha still felt the memory in her brain. Feeling familiar with Darren's face, and slightly forgetting the man's face in the past.
"Right, I'm Darren."
"Ah, it's true you." Meisha nodded her head as if understanding. "My news is far better than ever."
"Yes, I heard it. It's good to see you and Mike alive" Darren said with a flat face. He said he was happy, but his face did not show that. It's because Darren's hard to express like Arthur.
Meisha smile. If you remember the past that is still recorded in his memory, he felt embarrassed because he always followed Darren when the man was around him.
Helena and Jolicia cast a glance at each other, they felt that Darren and Meisha did not give them a gap to join in the conversation, so Helena and Jolicia chose silence. Until Elie's approaching faint voice began to fill all of their hearing.
"Der, when's it coming?" elie asked, still holding Mike's hand.
"It was a few minutes ago" Darren said.
Elie nodded. "Surely you and Brother Ar just talked about work." It's no secret that if Darren is with Arthur, they're just talking about work.
"true." Still answering briefly. I don't know, Darren just keeps his heart.
"May, come. Mom called you." Mike's voice directed at the younger brother made the woman lift her face after a split second of looking down.
"Yes, brother" he answered and stood up to his brother. But in a hurry, his feet tripped over the legs of the sofa to make Meisha stagger forward and was immediately caught by Darren who was not far from Meisha's position.
"Be careful." said Darren warning Meisha to be even more careful.
"Yes, thank you," Meisha's great-grandson quietly, before later approaching Mike. Fortunately, only her brother saw her almost fall and was captured by Darren. Elie, Helena and Jolicia were exchanging jokes.
"Is Miss okay?" A familiar voice made Meisha turn towards the owner of the voice.
Yes, Nathan. Mike's assistant was already there and saw everything. Just now he was about to help Meisha, but his distant position was unable to reach Meisha's body.
"I'm fine Nath." Ungainly, Meisha pinned her smile to Nathan.
"Nath, accompany Mei" exclaimed Mike.
"Okay sir" Nathan said. "Come Miss. The big master and Madam were already waiting for Miss," he asked then. Until he and Meisha soon passed from there after saying goodbye to everyone.
"Sweetheart, it looks like you're forgetting something" Mike said, trying to remind his wife of their goal in coming to the page.
"Oh my god, I forgot." Elie showed off a row of white teeth. "Licia, I forgot to tell you that Uncle Zayn called you."
Elie chuckles. "I'm sorry.." he said put up a fair guilt.
"Oh my God, get out of the way. You're blocking my way." Again Jolicia's voice was horrendous all around.
"Ck, you hit me, you idiot!" Austin who was stepping into the kitchen was shocked by Jolicia who hit his body.
"All right, I'm sorry." Jolicia paid no heed to Austin, she ran small towards the living room. Austin only shook his head as it passed.
While Mike is still in his position, he wants to catch up with Elie who has stepped in first from there. However, it was reflected when his gaze met with Darren until the two threw fierce gazes at each other.
"I know how you feel, Der, but I need to thank you, because you haven't taken a chance all this time when I wasn't on Elie's side." Either way, Mike initially thought that Darren was too stupid to not fight for his love and even impressed like a man who was not passionate about seeing a woman. But he also does not deny his gratitude to Darren because the man did not steal Elie from him.
Darren silently listened to a word that was like a single word to him. "You don't have to thank me. I know where I am and I'm keeping him on Ar's behalf" he replied flatly. Making a cold room encircle them, even making Helena who was still around them goosebumps.
"I'll excuse you then." Darren then says goodbye from there. It is better that he avoids conversations that might trigger a showdown.
And after Darren's death, Helena was alone with Mike. Helena commented on the awkward smile, it had been a long time since she had met Mike after their last meeting in Madrid.
"How are you? You look happier than ever." Mike noticed a light on Helena's face that seemed to glow. The woman who used to be a bitch to him, has now achieved happiness.
"My news is very good" said Helena covering up her awkwardness. "Congratulations to your wedding and Elie. I'm so happy that you finally get to be with a woman who has never been replaced by anyone, including myself." Helena did not mean to offend their past, even though the words just said were true.
"Yes, thank you. You too, you finally got a nice guy like Ar. He will always protect you beyond his own life." And ever since the woman married Arthur, Mike's responsibility to protect and protect Helena from Jorge and Margaret was done.
"Yes, you're right. All this time he's been protecting me and taking care of me. I'm really lucky to be with him."
Mike smiled in response. Finally Helena's love is anchored in the right heart. Arthur is a loyal man and does not fall in love with a woman easily. But once in love will take care and protect his woman with all his soul.
"Ehemmm....." Deheman someone who deliberately used high intonation tapped their ears. Especially Helena, the woman gasped at the figure of Arthur who was already standing between them. "Love, come here." Clutching Helena's waist. Showing Mike the ownership of the woman was just her own. Arthur if in a jealous mood will call so friendly to the woman, until Helena is confused.
Mike realizes Arthur's jealousy. He just disguises his smile. "You take it easy, Ar, I and Helen didn't have any relationship because I just loved Elie. Our closeness is for a reason." After saying so, Mike immediately sauntered away.
Arthur's forehead frowned deeply. He looked at Helena with signs, questioning what Mike had just said.
"I'll tell you about it, but not here" Helena said with a soothing smile.
"Well, you have to tell me everything I don't know and I won't let you sleep well tonight" whispered Arthur kissing Helena's earlobe.
The woman shuddered and swallowed her saliva. Looks like Arthur's going back to fight him tonight. And Helena just found out her husband's cold figure is so different if it was on the bed.
To be continue
