"Let's go in the house" Ella took her foot.


"No, just here" Andra said, holding Ella's hand.


Ella turned her head, she smiled as she removed her hand from Andra's grasp.


"Well, then let's sit there!" take Ella while pointing at the green grass that grows under the mango tree.


"Come," Andra replied with a smile.


Then the two of them sat down on the grass, under the mango tree.


Andra smiled as she looked at the mango tree that grew shady on it. He used to climb the tree, pluck the fruit and throw it at Ella waiting below.


"You remember, I used to pick these mangoes for you" Andra said.


"Yes" replied Ella briefly. Why you talk about the past.


"Our friendship used to be quite close, El," Andra said as she looked at Ella sitting next to her.


"Yes" replied Ella.


"What exactly does Andra mean?" ella's mind while frowning in wonder.


"But lately .. you've been avoiding me, El," Andra said.


"I'm not away from you" replied Ella.


"You blocked my account and you rarely picked up my phone, either" Andra said as she stared at Ella.


"I didn't answer your phone because I was busy, Ndra. And about your account, sorry, I didn't mean it," Ella replied with a rough breath.


"That's it, then why didn't you let me know you were coming home?" ask Andra.


"I haven't had time, the plan is to let you know when I get home. But I didn't think you were Kairi's sister, so we met early, before I could tell you," Ella replied with a smile.


"Kairi, it's so easy for you to say his name, El. Don't you know, my heart aches when I hear you say her name," Andra's inner voice grunted in annoyance.


"When you have free time, I'll take you somewhere. You still remember my promise" Andra said with a smile.


"What promise?" asked Ella while frowning her forehead.


"Take you to Paris" answered Andra.


Ella gasped in surprise, why Andra still remembered that, even though she had forgotten about it.


"Why are you taking that seriously, Ndra?" asked Ella with a laugh.


"I've always been serious, El, so when do you have time? I'll take you there" Andra said with a smile.


"I can't, Ndra," Ella replied, shaking her head.


"Why?" ask Andra.


"I've been there before" replied Ella.


"Who?" ask Andra.


"Kairi" replied Ella.


"Oh," Andra said briefly.


"Alagain Kairi. You really are a bitch," Andra grumbled in her heart.


"By the way thank you, Ndra, you've accepted me as your sister-in-law's candidate" Ella said with a smile.


"Sister-in-law, it looks like you've misunderstood, El," Andra said.


"What do you mean?" ella asked in surprise.


"I didn't come here to bless your relationship with Kairi, but I had other interests" Andra replied.


"What interests?" ask Ella.


Andra smiled as she changed her sitting position, now she sat facing Ella while holding her hand.


"I came here to talk about feelings. The longing that I have been harboring, it is not the usual longing. Ella, I'm sorry I was late to realize how I felt. But believe me, this feeling grew from the bottom of my heart. I love you, I love you so much" Andra said as she stared fixedly at Ella.


Ella flinched in shock, and she quickly withdrew her hand.


"I just smiled, because I thought everything was going to go well. But why did Andra suddenly come and say love, what if Kairi knew, "the inner Ella in her heart.


"What are you saying, Ndra, I've been with Kairi. And you're with Nadhira too. We already have a partner, why did you say love to me?" said Ella in a slightly high tone.


"I don't love Nadhira, whom I love you El. You can consider how I feel" Andra said, staring at Ella.


"I can't!" tell Ella quickly as she moved from her seat.


"Why?" ask Andra while standing up.


"Why do you say, Ndra, you know I've been with Kairi. I already love her, you shouldn't have bothered me" Ella replied as she looked at Andra.


"But I know you first, I know you better. I love you so much, Ella, please consider my feelings. I want to have you, I want to marry you" Andra said.


"I can't, Ndra, I love Kairi. Please don't force me" Ella snapped. For a long time he was annoyed to hear the word love that Andra said. Seven years Ella waited for those words, and Andra never said them. Now that Ella is happy, Andra comes to force her love.


"What you've seen from him, you haven't known him for long, he's not as good as you think he is. I'm a man you've known for a long time, I've always been there for you, why would you prefer him?" yell Andra. Her emotions begin to ignite when she hears Ella constantly rejecting her feelings.


"I chose him because I love him. Maybe for you he's not good, but for me he's the best," Ella replied in a high tone.


"Why is this why you've been avoiding me all this time, has he made you block my account, and never answered my phone. Answer, Ella!" yelled Andra, she was really angry, not expecting that Ella would reject her love.


"It had nothing to do with him" Ella replied.


"Lying, I know you did it on purpose. Was he the one who told you to stay away from me?" asked Andra with a hunting breath, it was clear that she was holding back anger.


"I told you this had nothing to do with him!" scream Ella.


"I didn't expect you to be like this, Ella. I have always been there for you, I have always understood you. But why can't you understand me now, why can't you consider me?


You seem innocent, but you're actually very mean, Ella," Andra said as she approached Ella, speaking right in front of Ella's face.


Ella was really emotional hearing Andra's words, and without further ado she immediately slapped Andra's cheek hard.


Andra flinched in shock, not expecting Ella to slap him. If Ella set the record last night to be the first woman to make her cry, now Ella again set the record of being the first woman who dared to slap her.


A hot feeling that radiates on her cheeks, not so Andra ignored. He only thought about his heart that hurt when he got rough treatment from Ella.


"You are wrong, Andra, actually from the past until now you never understood me at all. You're right, I did deliberately stay away from you, but it wasn't because of Kairi, but because of yourself. If you think I'm cruel, then what about you?" ella shouted while pointing at Andra's face. He also threw his chocolate right into Andra's chest. Now the chocolate just fell on the grass.


"Maybe you have to know everything, Andra, so you can stop forcing your feelings" Ella said in her heart.


"What do you mean?" andra asked as she approached Ella.


Ella retreated her steps, then turned her back to Andra.


"I see, El, you told me to value time, and make the most of it. I've done that, El, I've become a better person, I'm not what I used to be" Andra replied as she looked at Ella from behind.


"You're wrong, Ndra. Actually the time I meant was myself. I wish you could appreciate me, while I'm still there for you. But apparently, you never appreciated me, even until I decided to leave" Ella said with a bland smile.


"What do you mean, tell me what you mean, El, I really don't understand" Andra said as she stepped forward, now standing before Ella.


"You're a director, I'm sure you're not stupid. Did you ask me what I mean, Ndra?" ella asked Andra.


"I really don't understand, please, El, tell me what you mean" Andra said as she tried to hold Ella's hand, but Ella always brushed it off.


"You know, why did I always close my heart to all the men who approached me?" ask Ella.


"Because you want to focus on your school" replied Andra.


"You're right, but I have other reasons, too. I always close my heart because there's someone I love" Ella said.


"Someone you love?" andra repeated Ella's words.


"Yes, and now do you still want to ask who that person is. Are you that stupid, Andra?" ella said while looking at Andra.


"Maybe that guy.me." said Andra nervously.


"Yes, that person is you. Ever since I knew you in Junior High, I've liked you, but you never understood. You've always been so engrossed in your own world that you've never seen me expect you" Ella said.


"Ella, you." said Andra while trying to hold Ella's hand, but Ella still brushed it off.


"Every time I hold back the pain, because seeing you're engrossed with another girl. And at the peak when the Saints came claiming to be pregnant with your child, even though it was not your child, but I know one fact, you often slept with many girls. You can imagine how disappointed I am, Ndra. But I still forgive you," Ella said as she stepped slightly away from Andra.


Now he stood up and leaned his body on the mango tree.


"While you have hurt me, I still love you and I am still waiting for you to return my feelings. But it didn't last long, Ndra, it was only a year that I lived in London, I again swallowed the disappointment, when I found out you were in a relationship with Nadhira," Ella continued, staring at Andra.


"That's when I started giving up, I didn't want to hope for anything uncertain. I started to stay away from you, because that was the only way I could erase my feelings for you. It took me a long time to heal that wound, Ndra, until I finally got to know Kairi. Slowly I can forget you and open my heart to Kairi" said Ella, as Andra remained silent without a word.


"Now I can love Kairi and I am happy with her. Then you came to impose feelings, to say I was cruel. You're really selfish, Andra," Ella said as she stared intently at Andra.


"I'm sorry, I didn't know, El. But why don't you express your feelings to me?" andra asked while looking at Ella.


"I'm a woman, Ndra. I have pride, it's impossible to do that" Ella replied.


"But, El.." said Andra.


"I told you, you never really understood me. You can't understand how I feel, but Vino can understand, Ndra," Ella said with a bland smile.


"Vino.." said Andra.


"Yes, Vino can understand how I feel. He knows that I love you. Though my relationship with Vino, not as close as my relationship with you," said Ella.


"Vino always reminds me of how I felt and Ella. So actually she already knew, if Ella really loved me, it was stupid that I couldn't realize all this" Andra's inner self in her heart.


"I'm sorry, Ella, I really didn't know. Please give me one more chance, I won't let you down" Andra said as she approached Ella.


"No, Ndra, I can't. You're coming so late, my feelings for you are now gone. Now all I love is Kairi, only Kairi" Ella said.


"But, El, I love you, I promise to make you happy" Andra said.


"I'm happy with Kairi, please don't force me, Ndra. Please love Nadhira and be happy for her. You promised me you wouldn't hurt him" Ella said.


"But it's different now, El. Now that I love you, I'm sick to see you with Kairi. Please respect my feelings" Andra said, pleading with Ella.


"I can't, Ndra. I've got Kairi, I don't want to hurt him, because I love him so much" Ella said.


"But, El.." said Andra.


"You remember your promise. You promised to comply with one of my requests, and now I'm charging you, Ndra," Ella said seriously.


"What do you want to ask?" ask Andra with anxious expectation. Looks like Ella's request wasn't a good one.


"Please erase all your feelings for me and don't bother me anymore. Love Nadhira and let me be happy with Kairi" Ella replied quickly.


"But I can't, El," Andra said.


"You promised me, Ndra, you have to keep it" Ella said.


"Can't you consider me, El, isn't there any residual feeling for me?" ask Andra.


"No, Andra. You remember what I told you at the time. Time will never return when it has passed away. And the time I mean is me. By the time I decided to leave, I had already erased all my feelings for you, and I had forgotten all about you" Ella replied.


"You're lying, El, surely you still have a little feeling for me. The proof is that you're still keeping stuff from me!" yell Andra. His emotions are re-ignited, as Ella still insists on rejecting him.


"Nothing, Ndra, I've kept nothing from you" Ella replied.


"Look, you still have my necklace, El, you're still wearing it!" yell Andra.


"You misunderstood, Ndra, the necklace I gave to someone else. What I'm wearing now is a necklace from Kairi," Ella said, which suddenly made Andra shocked.


"You must be lying to me, El," Andra said softly.


"I'm serious, Ndra," replied Ella.


"Why? Why are you doing this to me? What is so great about him compared to me? I could be like him too, if you'd just give me a chance!" yelled Andra while looking at Ella sharply.


"Enough, Andra!!" snarled Ella while slapping Andra again.


"Ella, you.." said Andra.


"Whatever bad he is in your eyes, but he never hurt me. He always appreciated me, and always loved me. I know you're hurt by my answer, but it's not worth what I used to feel. I've been hurting because of you for seven years, Ndra, while you, just last night you were angry like this. You cowardly man, Andra, get you out of here!" ella shouted while pushing Andra's body.


"Ella.me..."


"Go! Before I get back to slapping you, quickly get out of my sight!" snarled Ella while glaring sharply.


"Just slap if it can make you relieved" replied Andra.


"Go now, or I'll hate you forever!" snapped Ella.


"You're not slapping?" said Andra.


"Go, Andra!" scream Ella.


"No!" answer Andra.


"Well, it's okay if you don't want to go, let me go" Ella said as she stepped into her home.


He did not care about Andra who kept calling his name.


Just let Andra stand there, and won't go home. If it is comfortable, just do it. Ella was already quite upset by Andra's attitude which she thought was very selfish.


Andra looked at Ella's departure with a pushy look.


"Why did our relationship end like this, Ella?" muttered Andra slowly.
