The Man Full of Wounds
Chapter 105

Sinta was confused and surprised. "What do you mean ? Our engagement night ?!"

"Yes, the night of our engagement." Johan repeated the same word.

"So my future fiancee is Johan's sister ?" Sinta asked again to clarify the situation that was happening.

"Yes, did your parents not tell you ?" Johan asked back.

"They're just saying that they know the guy who came to propose to me." Answer Sinta. "But it's also my fault why not ask more clearly who that man is." Sinta quickly added.

"You're disappointed to know that guy is me ?" Johan looked seriously at Sinta's face.

"I-i."

"Please put the engagement ring on the woman's ring finger." The MC voice cut Sinta's words.

Their conversation had to stop. Johan followed the direction of the host, taking out a black rectangular box from the inner pocket of the suit.

Johan opened the lid, then took out a white ring with a diamond jewel adorning the engagement ring.

Sinta reached out her hand, Johan then put the ring on Sinta's ring finger which immediately smiled widely.

Johan joined in smiling at the look of Sinta's happy face, venturing forward to approach Sinta pulled her closer and hugged Sinta's small body tightly.

"I'm happy." Sinta said before letting go of Johan's embrace.

Applause from the invited guests rumbled inside the ballroom room. Sinta and Johan smiled to the invited guests present.

Sinta is held by Johan down from the stage to return to their table and the show is again continued by the MC.

That night everyone rejoiced, even Zack was happy to see the happiness of Johan and Sinta, forgetting for a moment his sad feeling of the fate of his broken home.

"You're not planning on going home yet, son ?" ask Mother.

"I just don't want to be able to, Mom." Alanna replied in a tone of guilt hearing Mom's tone of voice from the phone call.

"Mom will know for myself that I recently got a new job at a new hotel opened here, so I can't get immediate leave." Alanna added an excuse.

"So when can you go home, son ? it's been two years since you left."

"I'll go home as soon as I get my boss' leave." Alanna's Promise.

"Does this have anything to do with Zack ? so you've never been home ?"

Alanna just fell silent, not knowing what to answer.

"Son......, haven't you been separated for a long time ? Zack even followed your request by sending a divorce filing requirement letter to the house even though he had not sent a divorce letter to the house. So what else is troubling your mind ?"

Alanna breathed a heavy sigh. "Honestly, Mom, I still can't forget how I felt about Zack. I will definitely get news of him if he returns to Surabaya or maybe even meets him by accident. Mom, I can't accept the fact that if Mas Zack had remarried." Alanna let out her heart.

"Please son, we can't do anything if it turns out that God's destiny says he's not your soul mate." Mother's Advice.

"I know it's Mom."

"You can't stay away from me forever."

"I also know it's Mom."

Mother took a long breath. "Yes, we don't have to talk about that anymore. Even if you're busy working, don't forget to eat regularly."

"Yes, Mom."

"It's late, you just take a break next time we talk again."

"Yes, I'll take a break later I'll call you again."

Mom then turned off the phone. Alanna put her phone back on the bedside nightstand, tidied up her blanket and tried to sleep even though sleepiness had not yet come.

Alanna set six o'clock in the morning because before she left for work she had to make breakfast for herself.

Alanna contracted for a simple, one-room apartment in the centre of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for her to live in.

Since parting ways with Zack, Alanna decided to stay in Malaysia and work there. Before working in the current hotel, Alanna also worked as a waitress in a hotel that was smaller than where she currently works.

His income from working as a hotel maid was actually not enough for him to rent an apartment even though it was just a simple apartment. Zack unbeknownst to Alanna every month from the beginning of the marriage they always transfer funds to his personal account even now even though they have never been in contact somehow the funds are always regularly entered into his account every month.

With the amount of funds in his account Alanna actually does not need to bother to work just that he feels bored if he does not do something.

After breakfast, Alanna moves in to take a shower and gets ready for work.

Bus is a means of transportation that is commonly used by Alanna when traveling anywhere as well as when leaving for work.

Arriving at the hotel where she works, Alanna went straight to the room section. As a person who is still lacking experience, he decided to apply for a job as a waiter to work from scratch again.

Finished changing into a maid uniform, Alanna began to work like her usual daily routine. Alanna's mediocre life even tends towards the boring monotony but it was her own choice that left her unable to complain.

In the morning elsewhere as usual Johan was waiting for Zack's arrival in his study.

Zack opened the door and walked in, directly stepping towards his desk.

"You're in my room early in the morning, you got the latest Johan news ?" Zack asked after sitting on his desk chair.

"Our man gave us the latest news about Miss Alanna, sir." Reply Johan. He remained professional while working to remain polite to Zack as his boss directly even though he was the fiancee of his Boss sister.

The movement of Zack's hand that was opening the file on his desk came to a halt, looking at Johan with a serious face.

"Say." Said brief.

"Miss Alanna stopped working as a waitress at the hotel."

"Good, I was so upset to know he worked there as a hotel maid let alone in a small hotel like that. You sure you never neglected to send money to his account ?" Zack asked Johan the umpteenth time for the same thing every month since two years ago.

Johan tries to be patient with his boss' attitude which turns irritating when it comes to his wife.

"I'm sure sir, I transferred the money myself into his account with the amount you ordered." Johan reassured.

"Good." Praise Zack. "What's up ?" Zack added.

"Stop working at the small hotel, Miss Alanna re-applied for a job as a hotel maid but it was unexpected that Miss Alanna applied for a job at our new hotel in Malaysia."

Zack immediately smiled at the news from Johan.

"That means my instinct to not assign you to work in our new hotel turned out to be right because if she knew you were working there she would definitely not apply for a job there."

"I'm a little confused, did Miss Alanna not know that it was our hotel ?" Johan asked.

"He had no idea, he never asked and never went there when the hotel was still in the process of construction."

Johan nodded in understanding. "It turns out so."

"He tried to get away from me but fate said something else, it turned out he was getting closer to me." Zack muttered with a mysterious smile.
