Taps... Taps.. Taps...
The pace of people running around sounded in Erik's ears, he turned to the origin of the voice and how surprised he was, it turned out that the reporters flocked to approach him preparing with cameras hanging from his neck.
Czechoslovak.. Czechoslovak...
Flashes of camera lights appear to highlight towards Erik, Erik felt confused, somehow the media crew could get into his show. The officers he was assigned to guard the front door were also out of nowhere, he did not know why things had gone awry like this.
In front of the projector screen is still on, this time showing video footage of Ayu's confession that had trapped Alex because Erik was unwilling to take responsibility for her.
" Off!!!! Turn off the projector screen!!!" Erik yells hoping the officer operating the computer shuts him down but the video goes all the way to CCTV footage nine months ago in which Ayu and herself trapped Alex with the drink.
The guests were sneering at him, Erik completely lost his face, he stared intently at Alex who was smiling.
Seeing Alex's smile, Erik became aware of who was behind all this, he approached Alex and pulled Alex's collar violently.
" What do you really want huh!!!! Why are you doing all this? Why are you trying to destroy my reputation this way Alex!!!" Jerk Erik.
" You destroyed me first, so now it's my turn to destroy you so that we are equally destroyed Erik." Alex is calm.
" It's your own fault why you're such a fool, huh? Why are you so easily fooled by me? You immediately believe just like that, you didn't even think twice about marrying Ayu. Then where's my fault?" Erik's screams made Alex shut up.
Yep.. Erik was right, this happened because of his stupidity. Why did he believe in Ayu so much? why didn't he find out the truth first? I want it to feel like Alex hit his own head but everything has passed, there is no point in regretting it anymore. And Alex is convinced that everything that happens is because of God's will. Maybe Jia is not his match, or maybe it should happen a breakup first to make Alex aware of his cold attitude to Jia.
" Yes.. You're right, this is my stupidity. That's why now I'm uncovering all the truth. I want you to take responsibility for Ayu and Mikayla because after this I will divorce her. " Say Alex.
" I don't want to be responsible to the two of them, let alone marry Ayu. Until then I won't marry that cheap woman!"
Bugh....
An Alex bogeman hits Erik's lips, until Erik's lips bleed.
" You... " Erik pointed at Alex.
" Other than clothes!ng@n turns out you're a loser, too. How can you demean your own lover, let alone she has given birth to your child. Your flesh's blood." Said Alex.
" I don't care, obviously I don't want to be tied to a marriage." Erik Sahut.
Seeing the debate between the two, one of the female reporters ventured closer to them both.
" Lord Erik, how can you not be responsible to your own flesh and blood Master? Is this the true nature of Erik Danarendra?" Erik was infuriated by the question, he stared intently at the reporter.
" Who did you get permission to come here? With whose permission do you dare to ask me like that huh!!!" Erik shouted.
" It is Lord Erik! There is no point in getting angry like this, let the media do its job because this is very surprising news. And I'm sure this news will be a trending topic on the front page." Said Mr. Wilson, one of the largest shareholders in Erik's company.
Erik looked at him the other way around.
" I didn't expect you to have a device like this, with the heart of you bullying your own officers to marry your lover. And the way you did it was so embarrassing, Mr. Erik, you could have trapped Alex and destroyed his household to cover your own disgrace. I don't want to work with you again Mr. Erik, I'll withdraw my shares right now." Mr. Wilson's words surprised Erik.
" Don't rush to make a decision and deduce the truth of all this Mr. Wilson, this is all untrue. Here I am the one who feels trapped sir." Erik.
Erik could only shut up he didn't know what to do. The shadow of the destruction of his company is in sight. His mind drifted somewhere, he himself did not know.
Alex develops his smile, he feels happy to be able to unmask Erik in front of everyone, not in vain he spent his savings to get CCTV footage a few months ago, he said, he deliberately gathers all the evidence so that he can destroy Erik just as Erik destroyed it.
" Lord Erik, will you be responsible after this for your flesh and blood? Do you intend to marry your lover?" Ask journalists.
Everyone stared at Erik making him the center of attention. Erik spread his gaze across the entire room of the party. Alex approached him.
" I think you still have a conscience not to abandon them Erik. I will divorce Ayu and I will return Ayu to you. Ayu's not my right, but she's yours." Said Alex.
Alex clapped his hands twice, at the entrance saw Ayu walking with Mikayla towards the two of them. Erik looked at Ayu and vice versa. The closer, the closer and right in front of Erik, Ayu stopped his steps. The reporters did not miss the moment.
" Ayu." Said Alex. Ayu looked at Alex and vice versa.
" Ayu Safira, in front of everyone I'm looking at you right now. You're no longer my wife but you're someone else to me. I forbid you to touch me and vice versa. I've divorced you Ayu." Said Alex.
Alex said the word talak three times until breaking up was already his second marriage relationship. Alex is relieved to be free from this relationship, lucky to know the truth before he formalizes their marriage.
After that Alex gives full rights over Ayu to Erik. Alex and the other guests pressured Erik into taking responsibility for Ayu, and Erik accepted. Alex unites Erik and Ayu's hands to applause from the invited guests.
Alex walks towards the exit, and Erik stops his steps.
" Alex, do you want to know why I did all this to you?"
Alex turned his body, he looked at Erik who seemed to be smiling.
" Yes, I want to know! Now tell me what your excuse is." Alex Sahut.
" Because I love your wife."
Jeduaarr.....
Alex was shocked to hear Erik's words. How could Erik love his wife when they rarely met. The meeting of Erik and Jia can be counted fingers, even as Alex remembers they met only twice, which is fitting dinner.
" You must be wondering why I can say that, if you know Alex. I knew Jia earlier than you." Erik's words surprised Alex. With a slow step, Alex again approached Erik.
" How can you say something like iru Erik? Are you trying to fool me again?" Investigate Alex.
" No, I'm telling you the truth. Jia is...... "
Who's hayoooo...
Curious? Don't forget to like comment votes and roses that many first let Alex toughen up to hear the truth.
Thank ye...
