The Man Full of Wounds
Chapter 69

"Look at me all this time, Brother Zack is a calm and rational person in dealing with problems, later now I see Brother Zack who panics and looks chaotic." Sinta talks while daydreaming about the events before Zack leaves following Alanna's return to Jakarta.

Johan smiled wryly as he drank his coffee hearing Sinta's words. They were sitting on the sofa in the living room, things were back about after Zack's departure back to Jakarta a few minutes ago.

"In my opinion, that's a normal reaction from a man who's worried about a woman he loves." Johan.

Sinta looked at Johan. "Sister Johan will also react like that ?" Sinta asked curiously.

"Of course, that's why I understand Mr. Zack's condition." Reply Johan put his coffee cup on the table.

"What about Johan ? right now there are women that Brother Johan worries about like Brother Zack who worries about Alanna ?"

Johan was speechless at Sinta's words, looking seriously at Sinta who was waiting for her answer. "There is, but the woman doesn't seem to need it." Reply to the mysterious Johan.

Johan's words make Sinta hurt but hidden by asking again. "Why did Brother Johan say that ? That woman said it ?"

"No, the woman spoke nothing, only circumstances said so." Johan said grimly back to gulp his coffee.

"Why didn't Brother Johan ask the woman directly ? It could have turned out to be different from the words of Brother Johan."

"Of course." The mysterious Johan.

Sinta did not continue her words. The attitude of Johan who again closed the conversation made Sinta speechless.

In his heart Sinta wanted to cry, for the umpteenth time Johan broke his heart. Looking at the window glass that showed a beautiful view of the city, did not want Johan to see the look of his disappointed face.

"It's late at night, you go into your room. Tonight I will accompany you here." Johan said break the silence.

"So, where's Johan sleeping ?"

"I'll sleep on the couch."

"Then I bring Johan's brother a pillow and a blanket." Sinta said as she stood walking into the room and not long reappeared with pillows and blankets.

"Thank you." Johan said, taking from Sinta's hand a pillow and a blanket. "You rest." Added Johan.

"All right." Sinta said before turning around into her room.

Zack stopped the car in front of the entrance. Not long before the front door opened, Mama Rani came out to greet them.

"Where have you been, son ?" rani's mom asked Alanna.

"Sorry to worry you, I just stopped by my apartment for a bit." Alanna said badly, feeling guilty made Mama Rani worry.

"Thank God you're okay, mama's just worried if anything happens to you." Mama Rani then turned to Zack. "Bring your wife Zack in, it's late at night and she must be tired."

"Yes ma." Zack obeyed, bringing Alanna inside after Rani who closed the door.

"Zack, Mama wait here." Mama Rani said as they walked through the living room. "Analanna went to your room, there's something you want to talk to me about."

"Good mom."

As they climb into their room, Zack opens the door to let Alanna enter first.

"You take a break, you take it to see mom." Said Zack who was nodding his head by Alanna.

Zack hesitates to approach Alanna seeing the attitude of Alanna who is still keeping her distance from him but misses Zack touching Alanna's body can not be in her custody. Zack pulls Alanna into his arms, tightly hugging her body even though Alanna does not return the hug.

Alanna just quietly did not answer, honestly she did not know what to say.

"Don't do this again, don't leave without telling me or hiding from me. You can get angry, yell at me or even hit me but never get away from me." Zack's voice choked as if holding back a cry.

"I'll remember you, but I can't promise."

"Remember and start learning to keep my word." Zack took off his embrace. "Mom go see mama first." Zack added, without looking at Alanna's face turning away.

Zack goes downstairs, Rani's mom is waiting for her to be with her father Arian who has not yet gone to sleep.

"Come to Zack." Call Mama Rani to see Zack walking towards them.

Zack sits on the sofa joined by Mama Rani and papa Arian.

"Alanna's asleep ?" ask mama Rani.

"I told him to rest before going down." Answer Zack.

"So where's your sister ?" ask papa Arian.

"Still in Malaysia pa, he'll be home tomorrow with Johan on our private plane. Johan still had to finish a little work there before returning to Jakarta." Zack explained.

"so." Papa Arian understood.

"Mama actually does not want to disturb your household life, it's just that mama is worried about your relationship that has not been married for a long time but has often quarreled."

Zack just silently listened to the words of Rani's mother.

"If you may know exactly what happened to Zack ?" ask mama Rani.

Zack was silent for a moment before speaking. "When in Malaysia we invited Datuk Malik to a dinner banquet at his residence and somehow and maybe it was planned to make me and Alanna misunderstand. Alanna hurt me for not believing her and not giving her a chance to talk. After she found out about the story, Alanna left without telling me." Zack said grimly.

Hearing Zack's words made Mama Rani sigh long. "Zack listen to mama." Mama Rani said seriously asking for Zack's attention completely.

"Mama knows you're still traumatized to trust new people in your life since the events with Mariana but Zack isn't everyone the same and you know it. Alanna is different we all know that and you definitely know better. And that must be why you acquired the hotel and its branches just for him, mama knows that.

"Zack, don't just get into a little trouble or because of someone else until your relationship and your efforts and sacrifices are in vain. Zack you have to remember your wife is pregnant she's pregnant with your son, the successor to the Ibrahim family." Mama Rani gave her advice at length.

"What did your mama Zack say." Papa Arian is speaking. "You're more mature and more experienced than your wife so you have to be more logical and have to be more relented, don't get carried away with your ego."

"Yes ma, pa, I get it." Zack said obediently.

"Go back to your room, you must be tired, too." Mama Rani.

"Yes ma, I'm going up first."
