"Oh yeah? Can I talk to him?" asked the voice on the other end of the phone so loudly.Darren turns his face to the camera, and...Gosh!His heart stopped beating when he noticed the beautiful woman he was talking to was very similar to his father."Hi, I'm Darren," Darren said, introducing himself and trying to get rid of his nervousness.Darren tried to smile at Alisa even though his eyes were filled with tears, because this was the first time he had seen someone who looked so much like his father; he could even see his father in the female version."Yes, my mother already told me. Nice to meet you," Alisa replied, smiling warmly at Darren."You're busy?" Darren asked again.Alisa shook her head. "No. Alisa works as a waitress in a fast food restaurant. When I’am go home, there's no more workload."Alisa told her story happily, and Darren glanced at Hailey, who seemed to have widened her eyes at the answer given by Alisa."You don't work for the company?" asked Darren in disbelief,
This morning at the Duta Bank office..."So, what's wrong?" asked Arras, welcoming Darren to his office.In accordance with the secret promise they agreed on at the fried rice shop the other day, the two of them will meet today at the usual place, namely the Duta Bank head office.Actually, Darren was also surprised at why Arras always asked to meet at his workplace. According to Darren, isn't that very dangerous? However, Arras always ignored Darren's questions, and he guaranteed their meeting would be safe.Before answering Arras' question, Darren let out a heavy sigh. Even to the point that it seems that at this time there is a problem that he bears."You know Hailey, right?" asked Darren then."Don't know; just know," Arras answered casually.Darren didn't even expect that Arras would confess this quickly. He thought Arras would act like Amina, who tried to avoid him when he asked her about his stepmother. However, Arras was different. He immediately admitted it."Is it true that
"Do you want to come see Alisa?" asked Darren, frowning.Darren was surprised when he heard that someone like Arras wanted to come with him to meet his younger sister.Arras nodded his head. "Yes. We can see the child together."Darren actually had so many questions about Arras' intention to go with him to meet Alisa. However, Darren buried the question first. He didn't want his plans to be disrupted."Okay, it will be more fun if we walk together," Darren replied then."What time is your flight? The thing is, I want to take care of my leave first," Arras said to Darren. And Arras also doesn't want his work to be neglected, even if it's only for a day or two."10 o'clock," Darren answered curtly.Darren also glanced at the clock on the wall of Arras's room, which showed thirty minutes past eight. And that means Arras has about an hour more to prepare everything."Hmm. If there's no time, we'll have different flights. And we'll meet after we're in the city there," said Arras, who felt
Darren and Arras came out of the airport, as he had promised Alisa that they would meet soon when Darren had landed."Lisa, I've arrived in your city. Can we meet her at the hotel?" asked Darren on the other end of the line."Hah?"Alisa sounded surprised when she heard Darren ask her to meet him at the hotel. And that got his mind all over the place."That means I just arrived here and am staying at a hotel. If you don't want to be at a hotel, you can share the location," said Darren, who seemed to understand Alisa's way of thinking.It seems that Alisa is also still afraid that Darren is not a good person, so Alisa hesitates to say yes to Darren's invitation to meet at the hotel."We also met at the hotel in the lobby, if you don't believe me. I don't want to be at your house because I'm afraid someone will report it to Mrs. Hailey," continued Darren.Alisa was silent for a long time; it seemed she was considering Darren's invitation."All right, I'll just come to the hotel. Name th
"So she financed you by begging on the streets?" asked Darren, who didn't seem to believe what he heard from Alisa's mouth.And if indeed what Alisa said is true, then Darren can confirm that Hailey's arrival to meet him definitely has a specific purpose. After all, he supports his life alone with Alisa. Currently, she relies on Alisa's salary.Alisa nodded her head. "Mom always blamed me. They said that if I wasn't born into this world, even if my father died, her life wouldn't be difficult."Darren really couldn't believe that someone like Hailey would see children as a burden and now ask them for something in return."Is it because of economic reasons that you do not continue school?" Darren asked Alisa. He felt sorry for Alisa's miserable life. Lives with his biological mother but always gets sad treatment."Yes, because the salary I get will not be enough if I want to pay for college. Besides, I'm embarrassed; I'm always bullied because I'm just a beggar," Alisa answered softly w
Alisa glanced at Darren because Alisa also seemed confused by Hailey's intentions.Darren gave the code for Alisa to ask what he meant."Alisa doesn't understand, Mom," Alisa answered later."No need to understand! Just do what I say!" Hailey replied with a scream."Yes, Mom."After that, Hailey turned off the phone, and Alisa also turned off her cell phone. She didn't want to be bothered by Hailey anymore because she was afraid that Hailey would find out that she was currently with Darren."Lisa doesn't understand what Mom means. I don't know what she will say to you," Alisa said, looking down and feeling guilty about what happened, even though it wasn't her fault."I'll find out later myself. Surely when I get home, Mrs. Hailey will tell me," Darren replied with a smile. Darren doesn't want Alisa to feel guilty about what he doesn't know.Alisa just nodded her head. And they had arrived at the airport and were getting ready to leave. Darren will know something new soon."We've arriv
Uhuk!Darren, who was just about to drink a glass of mineral water given by Amina, immediately coughed upon hearing what Hailey said. Even accidentally, a few splashes of water came out of his mouth."What was? I can't hear it clearly." Darren asked, looking at Hailey.Actually, inside Darren's heart, he felt like laughing out loud. Because in the end, Hailey is slowly showing her intention to meet Darren."I demand the inheritance for Hailey from Rudi!" Hailey replied firmly and matter-of-factly, even sounding half-pushy.Darren narrowed his eyes at Hailey and slowly put the glass back in his hand."Who are you guys? And who am I?" asked Darren, smiling.Darren is still holding back his emotions, even though he really wants to curse Hailey and reveal all of Hailey's behavior. However, before getting proof that Alisa is his sister, Darren will hold himself back.And if later it is proven that Alisa is really her sister, let alone just an inheritance, even Darren will be responsible fo
"Why? You were provoked when I said Rudi's name?" asked Hailey, who seemed to deliberately provoke Darren's emotions."Maybe you forgot; when you were in your office that day, you were very afraid that I was Martano's spy. How do you want to avoid it?" Hailey continued again.Darren didn't answer Haikey's words; she was busy with her cellphone. It is not known who she contacted.Tok! Tok! Tok!"Enter!" Darren shouted from inside.And when the door opened, two security guards were seen paying their respects to Darren.Amina and Hailey looked at Darren inquiringly; both of them certainly didn't expect Darren to call the security guard to his house."Mr. Darren called us?" asked one of the security guards respectfully."Take this person out, and make sure she doesn't enter this complex again," said Darren, handing the security guard several bills.The two security guards were astonished; they looked at each other. Because they knew that for several days the person Darren was referring t
