The Man Full of Wounds
Chapter 83

Exit the main door of Juanda international airport they were directly approached by a man wearing a white shirt and black suit.

"Welcome sir, I'm your new driver." The man introduced himself.

"Who's your name ?" Zack asked.

"My name is Ramli, sir." Answer men.

Alanna saw the man was more or less the same age as Zack.

"Where's the car ?"

"Master can follow me." Ramli said, walk first followed by Zack and Alanna from behind.

They arrive in a black luxury car, Ramli opens the passenger door to let them in.

Zack lets Alanna in first and then he does.

After they entered, Ramli then opened the driver's door and got into the car.

"We're going straight to Mr?'s hotel ?" ask Ramli before turning on the car.

"Yes, we're going straight to the hotel." Answer Zack.

"Good sir." Ramli said obediently before running the car out of the parking area towards the highway.

"This is a car that mas Zack rented like the last time we went to Surabaya ?" Alanna asked.

"No, this car is new, baby. Mas bought it before we came here to make it easier for us during here "Zack replied while pinching Alanna's cheek softly.

Alanna rubbed her cheek out Zack pinched even though it didn't hurt at all.

"Why buy a car ? I think it's too wasteful to buy a car just to use it here."

"Because we're going to be here more often, it's going to be hard if we don't buy a car."

Lazy to discuss it further, the protest was useless because Zack mas already bought it in Alanna's heart said.

"From Mas Zack's hotel straight drive me home ?" ask Alanna.

"You're taking a short break, baby, just take you home."

"Good on."

The trip to the hotel does not take much time because the state of the highway is not too crowded.

The car enters the hotel area, a large inscription found in the front garden of the hotel steals Alanna's attention.

"Abrahim hotel." Alanna read the writing.

Zack turned his head to hear Alanna's words, following the direction of her gaze.

"I've changed the name of this hotel." Zack explained before Alanna asked.

"Hmmm so." Alanna Mumbled.

The car stopped in front of the entrance, with several people standing in front of the entrance who seemed to have been waiting for their arrival.

Ramli got out of the car and opened the car door for them.

Zack got off first from the car and then helped Alanna. They walked over to some people who had been standing waiting for them.

"Welcome Mr. Zack." A middle-aged man greeted them with a friendly smile that Alanna remembered as the General Manager of this hotel.

"You're too formal to welcome me." Said Zack staring alternately at some of the men who were also welcoming them.

"I'm sorry you're uncomfortable." The voice of the man who was not so unfamiliar in Alanna's hearing.

Alanna turned her head towards the voice which turned out to be Mr. Irfan, her superior back then when she was working in this hotel as a waiter.

Alanna smiled kindly looking at Irfan who was also in reply to a friendly smile from Irfan.

Arising a feeling of displeasure Zack saw the interaction of the two made his good mood immediately disappear.

"We're going straight to my room, my wife needs a break." Zack said in a flat tone.

"Alright Mr. Zack, I'll take you to your room." The General Manager offered.

"No need, I know where you go back to your respective jobs." Reject Zack firmly.

"Good sir." Answer them simultaneously except the General Manager.

Possessively Zack placed his palm behind Alanna's stage, walking side by side past the men who could only stare in wonder at Zack's suddenly cold nature at them.

They walked towards the pavilion of room number two, a room that only Zack could use.

Zack opens the door and lets Alanna into the room first. The state of the room was still the same as the last state Alanna entered.

The night's events are reenacted in Alanna's memory making her feel uncomfortable.

Zack closed the door behind him, looking at Alanna who was still standing in place, not moving inside.

"What's the matter, baby ? is something wrong ?" Zack asked with a worried tone.

"There's nothing wrong with me, I just think back to what happened back then." Alanna smiled wryly.

Zack felt guilty hearing Alanna's words, pulling Alanna into his arms hugging her tightly.

"Mas doesn't know that you're still traumatized by the incident, if you're not comfortable it's better we move to another room." Zack said in a guilty tone, gently rubbing Alanna's back to calm her down.

"Not to be."

"You sure ?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

Zack let go of his embrace, looking at Alanna's face with a serious look.

"Then we sit down first." Zack pulls Alanna to sit on the couch. "Better you drink something, what do you want to drink ?"

"White water only mas."

Zack walks towards the fridge, opens it and picks up a bottle of cold mineral water.

Zack gives Alanna the drinking water she took. Alanna took a sip of water until half was left.

"How do you feel ?"

"It's been mengingan mas, mas Zack don't have to worry too much." Alanna smiled, feeling a little pity looking at the guilty and worried face on Zack's face.

"Thank God." Zack breathed a sigh of relief, coming to sit beside Alanna.

"Mas Zack." Alanna's asking Zack's attention.

"Yes ?"

"How do we tell Mom ?"

"Let's tell the story, you're quiet enough. I'll tell you everything." Zack clasped Alanna's hand. "Darling someone would like to ask, please answer honestly."

Alanna noticed Zack's serious face. "What is mas ?"

"Have you told your mother everything that night ?"

Alanna nodded her head. "Yes, I saw how I was doing that night when I came home."

"You're cheering up all the events ? you told me that I touched you that night ?"

"No mas, I didn't tell you about the problem. I don't know that yet." Alanna admitted.

Zack frowned hearing Alanna's explanation. "Why didn't you tell me that ?"

"I wasn't ready to tell you at the time, I still need time and because my sudden move to Jakarta made me forget to tell Mom anyway, Mom didn't force me to tell her if I wasn't ready." Alanna explained.

"So that's the story." Zack muttered understand.

"So you're still gonna tell me ?"

"Yes, I'll tell you everything. We can't avoid this problem constantly dear."

"What if Mom gets angry ?" Alanna said worried.

"All parents will be angry if they are in the position of your dear mother, which parent wants their child to be treated like that ? and I understand if your mom is mad at me. I'll take all that and I'll apologize to your mom." Zack smiled gently.
