I Love You, Bule 2
Ara & Al Chapter 7

During his trip to the company, Al stared at his tablet screen while reading emails about his work.

Ekrem looked at Al who was focused on his tablet screen. “Al, Grandpa wants to ask you something.”

Al turned his gaze to Ekrem who was sitting next to him. “What do you want Grandpa to talk about?”

“Grandfather was curious about what you said to Ara earlier.”

Al nodded his head and smiled faintly. “I just told her to stay her. He does not need to be silent if others oppress him because I will always support his decision.”

“Why can you think like that, Al?”

Al changed his face to a flat look when he remembered the hateful gaze of all the Ekrem step-family earlier. “Because I know all the stepfamily Grandpa doesn't like me and Ara.”

Ekrem just silently heard the reason given by Al. Everything Al said was true. Even Ekrem could see the dislike gazes they had displayed so blatantly when they were having breakfast earlier.

Ekrem chose not to continue the topic until the car he was riding arrived at his company.

Al and Ekrem got out of the car and stepped inside the company. A couple of pairs of eyes that saw them immediately lowered their polite bow and gave their greetings.

They only answered as was so that they showed a resolute aura on their faces.

Al walked into his study and sat in his big chair, and he could see the pile of company reports piling up on his desk.

Before working on all those stacks, Al took his phone out of his suit pocket.

His eyebrows intertwined when he saw the missed call from Arabella. Immediately he pressed the green button on the Arabella number.

“Halo, Ara? Why did you call me earlier? Sorry I didn't hear a call from you.”

“It's okay, Al. I just wanted to tell you something earlier.” There was a soft sound of Arabella from across the street.

“What do you want to say?” al asked with a smile, waiting for Arabella to tell him something.

Arabella began to recount the incident when Tuba, Burcu, and Erce asked her to clean the dirty dishes on the dinner table. he also said that he did not do so and avenged all Tuba's deeds to him.

Al giggled amusedly at the words Arabella. As per his estimation that Arabella will not be easy to oppress. “What you've done is right, Ara. They deserve it. Your position in that house is higher than the three of them, Ara. So you don't have to humble yourself in front of them.”

Arabella smiled warmly at Al's support for her. “I remember your message well, Al. That's why I dare to reply to all their words.”

Al smiled satisfied with Arabella's decision. “That's why I always fell for you,” he murmured slowly.

“You said something?” arabella asked because she could not hear what Al muttered.

“Nothing. I only think of his face at this time.”

‘Blush.’

Al chuckled softly because he knew that Arabella was currently misbehaving her words. But his words are not entirely a lie. He was right to think about Arabella.

Al loved everything inside Arabella. He never wrongly chose Arabella to be his life partner. Everything Arabella does always amazes her.

After chatting for a while with Arabella, Al resumed his work and finished all the piles on his desk. Earlier he had told Arabella that he would be home a little late because of his considerable work. Fortunately Arabella understood the situation and said not to push herself.

Ekrem stared at his expensive timepiece that was coiled around his left wrist. Time has shown the clock home from work. He knew that Al would be a little late coming home later so Ekrem chose to go home first.

Ekrem got into his car and stared at the street during his journey to the mansion. He thought of Al's earlier words about his stepfamily's dislike of Al and Arabella.

A little anxiety was felt when he thought that Arabella was in his mansion alone. Is she capable of fighting her stepfamily? Or will Arabella cry and complain to Al later?

Ekrem still does not know what has made Al can choose Arabella to be his life partner. He still does not know why Al can be captivated by Arabella.

Ekrem arrived at his mansion and stepped into it. Just a few steps he entered the mansion, a soft voice greeted him.

“Welcome, Grandpa.” Arabella's warm smiling face welcomed Ekrem's arrival.

Actually Ekrem was a little surprised to get a reception like this. It had been a long time since he had received a speech when he set foot in this house. Arabella's smile warmed her heart a little.

“Ah, yes. Thank you, Ara,” said Ekrem when Ara picked up the bag she was carrying.

Ara truly showed her sincerity when welcoming Ekrem's return. He had no other intention and only wanted his relationship with Ekrme to be closer.

Arabella knew that Ekrem was a person whom Al loved dearly. Because of this, Arabella thought she should be able to love what Al loved too.

Ekrem cleared his throat to reduce the awkwardness he felt. His relationship with Arabella was not close before.

Ekrem even opposed Al's decision to marry Arabella. That's why Ekrem felt a little awkward being near Arabella.

But Ekrem was currently able to see the sincerity that Arabella had given him. He saw no other intention of Arabella approaching him. Everything was purely just wanting to welcome him and help him.

“Do Grandpa want to eat something later? I can make it for Grandpa. It's possible that Grandpa would like to taste Indonesian cuisine from me...” Arabella smiled broadly as she told Ekrem the Indonesian food she thought was delicious.

Ekrem listened to Arabella's rant with a warm smile etched on his face.

Somehow Ekrem felt he had a lot in common with Ara. Seeing the way Ara told him or when Ara responded to his words, nothing made Ekrem feel uncomfortable.

It made Ekrem feel compatible with Arabella. He seemed to have received an answer to what had made Al fall in love with Arabella.

Ekrem also understood Al's intention of telling Arabella to be herself alone. He knew that Arabella was not a woman like his mind. It turns out that Arabella is a tough woman who can even overcome her problems without Al's help.

All because Arabella has many advantages to make people amazed at her. Moreover, the sincere and kind attitude of Arabella can make people feel warm hearts if they are close to him.
