Chapter 52

--

As Dezrail arrives at HuPoFEL, Gun welcomed him with his face looks pale.

Dezrail puckers his forehead as he asks his best friend.

"Did something happen?" He said as they entered the building.

"Nothing, it's just that…."

"What?"

Gun didn't answer when Dezrail opened the door of his office. They were exposed to a woman sitting in front of Dezrail's swivel chair, and a five-year-old girl sitting quietly in the visitor's lounge.

"What the hell are you doing here, Serenity?" Dezrail was surprised when he saw the woman.

How did Serenity find out about this place even though he hadn't brought the woman here before? Only Ernaline was the first woman he brought to their hideout.

Serenity got up from her seat as she walks towards where Dezrail is standing.

"I know what you are thinking Dezrail, you can't abandon us especially your daughter," Serenity said with a furious look on her face.

Serenity can't be happy with all her hard work to get Dezrail's love back. Call her lunatic or something, she doesn’t even mind as long as she will get Dezrail's attention and love for her.

"What are you saying? How can we have a child?" Dezrail spoke calmly as he looked at the side where the child is silently sitting.

"Did you forget? The time before I leave, something happened between us. Oh right, how you can remember it when you were too drunk and exhausted that time but you always keep calling my name."

Gun and Dezrail were speechless at what Serenity said. Not the slightest memory entered Dezrail's mind.

Gun could no longer hold back, he entered the conversation. "Excuse me but I think you need to talk privately, can I take the child outside? She can't witness this scene."

Dezrail and Serenity looked at Gun. Serenity folded her arms in front of her chest as she raises her eyebrows towards Gun.

"Maybe where else can you take our daughter."

Dezrail sighed as he slid his hands into his pocket. "Gun is right Serenity; you can trust him the child. HuPoFEL is not like what you are thinking."

Serenity just nodded and did nothing when she called her daughter. The child immediately got up from her seat and quietly approached her Mother. Serenity sat down in front of the child as she approached to talk.

"Go with your Daddy's friend first. We will talk something okay?"

The child was like a robot that she nodded before approaching Gun. The young man smiled as he approaches the child.

"What's your name, angel?" Gun asks.

"Sirene,"

"Do you want to play video games or something?"

"No."

Gun looked at Dezrail as he held the child's hands.

"Bring her to Sinji and Saviel, I know they can handle a child," Dezrail commands the friend.

Gun nodded as he leads the child to the door. Dezrail gives a sign to his best friend and he already knows what to do.

When the two got out, Dezrail immediately confronted Serenity.

"How did you find this place, Serenity?" He started.

"When it comes to you, I know everything. Are you going to cancel the engagement party? You already met our daughter Dezrail. I don't want the child to grow up without a complete family."

Dezrail didn't feel how to have a family. He grew up without his parents.

"Are you that desperate and even the child will use just to get me back to you?" Dezrail looked at Serenity dangerously. He could not allow this woman to take control of his life again. He's so happy being with Ernaline Ashleigh. And he already promised to himself that Ernaline is the only one he brought in front of the altar and be with her forever.

"What? Am I desperate that I want to give Sirene a complete family?" Serenity laugh like a lunatic in front of Dezrail, she can't believe that the first person she loves won't ever believe her again. What could she do if Dezrail planted anger in her? In the first place, it’s her fault.

Tears pour down at Serenity's cheek that's why Dezrail was taken aback.

Dezrail didn't want to see a woman cry especially because of him. His face became soft as he sat down at the visitor's lounge.

"Let me do the process about our wedding Serenity. I'll take my responsibility to Sirene," Dezrail did nothing but agree to what Serenity wanted. For the child, he will do what the woman wants.

Dezrail hopes that Ernaline will understand his decision. He doesn't want to let go of the woman he loves but what can he do? He already had a child with Serenity and he is not the person who will ignore the child.

When Serenity and the child said goodbye, Dezrail immediately went to the basement where their inventions were. Gun does the job for him to take a DNA test with him together with Sirene.

Gun wears his lab gown as he saw Dezrail coming.

"Are you ready?" Gun approach.

Dezrail nodded so Gun didn't think twice and he already took blood from Dezrail.

"It will run in two days to know what the result of your DNA test is but I will make sure that we can have them by tomorrow."

Dezrail never spoke again. All he needs to know is the truth, whether Sirene is his child or not.

After Dezrail's test, he went home to their condo. He arrives in the chaotic living room led by Kaizen and Jasper. They are watching something.

Ernaline's face lit up when she saw Dezrail who had just arrived at their condo so the woman immediately stood up from her seat on the carpet.

Ernaline welcomes him with a warm hug. Dezrail let out a laugh as Ernaline clings to him like a baby.

Dezrail lifted Ernaline as her leg wrapped around his waist and its hands gripped his shoulder.

Ernaline is his angel, Dezrail doesn't want to see her crying for the second time but he was too nervous about the results of his DNA.

"How's my baby?" Ernaline frowned at him.

"I don't want to watch movies, what Saviel does on DVD." The woman complained.

Dezrail looks at Saviel who was grinning at them.

"You look like a monkey, Ernaline." Saviel's teasing.

"You're just jealous; it’s because you don't have a boyfriend."

"What the--" Saviel got up from her seat and ran to the spot where Dezrail was still standing while Ernaline was up.

Saviel broke Dezrail but the man did not move, so Saviel just kicked the back of Dezrail's knee causing it to fall to the carpet.

"Aww," the man groaned.

Saviel burst out laughing before turning back next to Kaizen and grabbing the popcorn he was eating.

Ernaline left Dezrail's embrace as they laugh together and returned to her seat to watch the movie again.

Dezrail got up from the carpeted floor before he went to the kitchen. She finds Senri in the kitchen eating alone.

"Did something happen?" Senri approaches Dezrail as he saw the man entered the kitchen. Dezrail went straight to the front of the refrigerator before taking a canned beer and opening it before drinking.

"I have a child." He started.

Senri looked at Dezrail with a confused face. "What? Ashleigh is already pregnant?"

Dezrail was blown away by his drink and he coughed so hard. Dezrail heard someone was laughing as he glared at Senri before placing the beer he was holding on the kitchen sink.

"Fuck you, dude." Dezrail hisses to Senri but the guy just make face in front of him.

"So Ashleigh is not pregnant? Who's the lucky one?"

"Serenity,"

"What?" Senri's hand was left in the air, ready to eat after he heard Dezrail's answer. "How is that possible?"

Dezrail let out a sigh as he leans the kitchen sink and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"It's a long story Senri. Gun and I already took a DNA test with the child."

"I hate stories, anyway did you already told Ashleigh about this?"

"I haven't. I don't know how to tell her this kind of thing, I felt scared."

Senri places his spoon on his plate before facing Dezrail.

"Tell her immediately or you will face the worst punishment you don't want to encounter."

The horror crawled all over Dezrail's body when Senri said that.

Senri sometimes talks nonsense, but sometimes his words are full of meaning.

"Our engagement party will be held the day after tomorrow. I don't know what to do." Dezrail said.

"If you already have a child then do it for his or her sake. Even though you don't have feelings with Serenity, do this for your child."

Dezrail just nodded and didn't speak anymore. The next day, Dezrail immediately went to HuPoFEL when Gun called him to let him know that the result of his DNA test had come out.

As he entered the building, Gun didn't waste time. He handed the paper to Dezrail who immediately read it to the man.

"I already run a hundred times to make sure about this but the result is the same," Gun said.

Dezrail looked at the paper and he was about to stumble when he saw a highlighted letters.

"This can't be happening."

The result of his DNA with Sirene is positive. Dezrail is the father of Sirene.
