The Man Full of Wounds
Chapter 18

"Sorry to come suddenly without telling you." Zack said holding the door leaf prevented Alanna from closing the door because she didn't expect her arrival.

"I don't think there's anything else we need to talk about Mr. Zack." Reject Alanna pulls the door wanting to close it but is obstructed by Zack.

"You don't want the night to be known to everyone, do you ? " zack's tone was a little threatening.

" What do you really want ?" alanna asked unhappily.

"Let me go in first, do you want us to tell stories at the door to attract people ? "

Walaupun tidak senang dengan perkataan Zack tapi Alanna tidak mempunyai pilihan lain kecuali membiarkan Zack masuk.

" You're already inside, now straight away what exactly do you mean ? " ask Alanna as they're already sitting on the couch.

"I'll take it straight away, I want to take responsibility for what happened that night, I'll marry you." Zack said with a serious face looking straight at Alanna.

Hearing Zack's words made Alanna speechless not knowing what to say with Zack's words that made no sense to her.

"You're not serious, are you ?" alanna asked as she spoke.

"No, I seriously want to marry you. "

"Why ? " ask Alanna in wonder.

"Because I have taken your honor." Answer Zack calmly.

"I'm not demanding you take responsibility." Sergey Alanna.

" I'll take responsibility and marry you."

"Why do two people who don't know each other so well and don't love each other that I'm sure your feelings are like that should be married ? " Alanna raised her tone a little, started to get a little emotional with Zack's words. "To my knowledge, two people who love each other want to be married live together until death separates, not based on guilt, I do not ask you to marry me enough of that incident lest people know."

"I don't want to argue with you on this matter." Zack began with an attitude of arrogance he did not want to deny.

"Why are you forcing ? " Alanna's starting to not understand Zack's mind. "Isn't it good I didn't sue you for the incident even wanting you not to expose the matter ? "

"I'm not that kind of man !" Zack said in a dislike tone.

"It's okay if you're not that guy, but for marriage matters to me it's very serious, marriage to me once in a lifetime and to the man who loves me and I love him." Alanna gave me her reason for rejection. "It's not because of guilt." Alanna said with great emphasis.

"But how is it like that night you got pregnant ?" zack's question alanna didn't expect. "What are you gonna do ? " plus Zack curious.

Alanna was silent at Zack's words, she had never thought of it. "I've never thought of it." Alanna said honestly.

"I don't want my child to be born out of wedlock, if it turns out you're pregnant. He is the future successor of the Ibrahim family ." Zack said it cornered Alanna.

" But you don't love me, I don't love you the point is we don't love each other, can we have a marriage that's not based on love ?" alanna asked unsure.

" I am able for the sake of my son. " Answer Zack is sure.

" I haven't been confirmed pregnant."

"What if you're pregnant ? "

Alanna was silent not knowing what else to say.

"Because there's no certainty whether you're pregnant or not, I have a way out. " Zack tried to give advice.

"We're still getting married, if you're pregnant we're going to continue our marriage and if you're not pregnant you can file for divorce." Advice Zack.

"We married siri ? " ask Alanna hoping.

"No, we are not married legally and religiously." Zack's denials dampened Alanna's hopes. "It would be troublesome if it turns out you're pregnant and we're just married siri." Zack gives a reasonable reason.

Alanna was silent at Zack's words. "Could you give me time to think ? " Alanna asked after a moment of silence.

"Tomorrow I wait for your answer, tomorrow night I will come back to listen to your answer." Zack, rising from his seat, approached alanna who was sitting in front of him, looking down to align her gaze with Alanna. "Think carefully, rest tomorrow morning you still have to go to work, do not oversleep waking up later kasian Pak Risno waited long. " Zack said as he gently rubbed Alanna's long hair then got up to his feet walking towards the exit of the apartment.

Alanna was only speechless with Zack's sudden gentle treatment on her. "Where do you know Mr. Risno who drove me ? " ask Alanna aware of Zack's words.

"For I commanded him. " Zack answered casually when he was at the door.

"How can ...."

"Slow Alanna. " Zack cut out Alanna's words. " Slowly I will explain to you, you will be shocked and not believe what I have done up to this point. " Add Zack, full of puzzles, opened the door and turned to Alanna. "Have a rest, may you have a good dream. " Zack disappeared behind the door leaving Alanna who was still sitting speechless with many questions in her head.

In her room Alanna keeps thinking about the plan that Zack told her, how her life's fate is going forward. Thinking hard there is no other way out but to marry Zack if she is pregnant but how the fate of her marriage life is based on no love, Alanna continues to be pensive. Alanna fell asleep as a small clock on the bedside nightstand showed at three in the morning.

In the car, Mr. Risno waited for Alanna to get out of his apartment, only texting him if he was waiting below.

"Sorry Mr Risno long wait huh ? " alanna said putting on a sorry face when she was in the car.

"It's okay, Alanna. " Risno replied convincingly while turning on the car running towards the highway. "Young master said this morning that maybe Alanna would wake up late. " Add Mr. Risno smiling understandably.

"Sir zack said that ?" alanna asked unsure of her hearing.

"Yes young master said you might wake up late." Mr. Risno repeated his words.

"Sir Risno can I ask ? " ask Alanna hesitating.

"By, if I could answer for sure I would say." Mr. Risno reassured while occasionally glancing at the rearview mirror paying attention to the crowded highway situation.

"Is Mr Zack telling Mr. Risno to pick me up and drop me off my ability to want to go ?" ask Alanna.

"Yes the young master who commanded." Answer Mr. Risno briefly.

" How long has Mr. Risno been working with Mr. Zack ?" alanna asked curiously.

"I'm like in the interrogation, son Alanna. "joked Mr. Risno while giggling amusedly.

" Just want to know, Mr. risno, sorry." Alanna blushed to hear the words of Mr. Risno.

"It's okay, I'm just kidding."

" It's okay if Mr. Risno does not want to tell the story is the right of Mr. Risno. "

" I worked with the young master's family when the young master was only five years old. " Mister Risno started telling stories. "At that time I was the personal driver of the big master, now it is still only now that the big master has rarely left the house and has handed all the work to the young master so rarely traveled."

"Oh. " Alanna said briefly.

"We've arrived for Alanna. " Risno sir told me.

"It is fitting that Mr. Risno was not reprimanded by Security because the vehicle parking at the door turned out to have known that Mr. Risno was a private driver Mr. Zack." Alanna suddenly thought of getting out of the car that was answered smiling by Mr. Risno. "Thank you for the ride. " Alanna said as she got out of the car and walked towards the hotel entrance.
