Black Swan's
The New of Aciel (Twenty Eight)



            Four years passed and not much change happened to Aciel. The adult man with an aristocratic face was still running his life as usual. Working, partying, and playing with his jalangnya is a routine that has never been missed by Aciel. For him the departure of Eden will not change anything in his life. Eden had indeed gone to carry his whole heart, but he had sworn not to be a weak and whiny man like most of the idiot men he had met all along.


            “Give me one more slove.” command Aciel to a servant while watching the striptease dancers who were weaving their bodies on the stage like snakes. Both of her brown eyes continued to observe every inch of the sexy dancers' body that was very tempting. He is sure, tonight he will definitely get one of them to be the warmer of his bed


            “Return to celebrate our victory.”


            Sian raised his clear glass high followed by Aciel who also lifted his glass and banged the tip slightly to do the tos with Sian.


            “For our success.” said Aciel between the noise of the music that yelled and the voices of men who were cheering, who were cheering, yelling at the sexy dancer who was so seductive tonight.


            “You're going to wear one of them tonight?” sian asked as he placed his clear glass on the table. For the first time Aciel drove out the bitches who usually gathered on their right and left sides to race to serve Aciel. Tonight Aciel deliberately wants to choose directly from his seat of greatness so that their game is hotter than the previous nights.


            “Hmm, which woman do you think is better suited to accompany me tonight? I think they have a standard beauty and not too special, only I still need one of them to satisfy me.”


            “Huh, I think you should change your perspective on contentment because I don't think you'll ever be satisfied with using them. For the past four years you've been wasting your money and making me tired of having to find a woman who can really satisfy you, but in fact you can only be satisfied by Eden.”


            Silent for long enough. Aciel seemed not to want to respond to Sian's chatter too far because their conversation would definitely end long if it was about Eden.


            Eden's...


            The woman just disappeared like swallowed by the earth which reportedly never known by anyone. Ever since she decided to marry Zyan, Aciel had never seen the woman again. Even her modeling career was immediately abandoned along with Zyan's retirement from Aciel's company. The two men seemed to agree to build their own lives without being noticed by any party. Even Aciel had to resist the wrath because one year ago he was shocked by the news of Brexton's transfer of the company to a foreign man. Somehow Eden had sold her father's company to a stranger and decided to live alone somewhere with her newborn baby. It was difficult for Aciel to find where Eden is, but in the end his ego always wins and takes over everything. Ever since Eden left, he has vowed not to seek out where Eden is and only to let the woman live by herself as she pleases. So even though Aciel is capable, he will never seek Eden for himself.


            “You, come here baby..”.


            Regardless of Sian's disturbing tweets about Eden, Aciel quickly pointed to a woman who was standing not far from him. With a face sparkling like a jackpot, the woman immediately drew closer to Aciel while showing off each of her seductive curves.


            “You called me?”


            “Hmm, dance in front of me.”


            With a big smile, the woman displayed her charming dancing skills in front of Aciel.


It's an honor for him, because a handsome and wealthy CEO like Aciel will soon be his customer. Yet one noisy-looking person next to the CEO would completely ruin his expectations tonight.


            “Better you go home and stop all this Ace. I'm lazy to look at your face that always shows the same expression every time I come to this club. I'm sure, you won't get any more satisfaction tonight.”


            “Can you shut up?”


            “No! Go home and find Eden. I know you miss him a lot.”


            “Sorry sir.”


            Sian glanced at the huffed sexy lady who was currently standing haughtily in front of him. Just this time he was harassed by a bitch whose position was very far below him.


            “You go, don't bother my stupid friend.”


            “Sorry, but this is my job. You made me lose my customer with your big mouth.”


            “What?”


            Sian frowned resentfully at the woman and prepared to reply to her every cynical sentence. But the movement of Aciel beside him made Sian stand up and choose to follow Aciel out of the club area which is quite stuffy tonight.


            “You, our business is not finished.”


            Sian glanced at the cynical dancer of the club and immediately ran after Aciel who had walked far enough away to leave him.


            “Ace, you're leaving?”


            “Considered? I'm sick of hearing your rant about Eden. Just take that bitch for you.”


            “Hah, finally. I told you right from the start that you better be looking for Eden. You shouldn't have believed his words when Eden said the baby belonged to Thony. Didn't you know that Eden wanted to get away from you a long time ago? It could have been just Eden's wits to trick you.”


            “Yes, I know. But I also don't want to be disappointed if that child isn't my son. Now go, don't tease me.”


            Sian spread his shoulders indifferently and let Aciel into his black car that had been prepared by a vallet attendant. Tonight is a very emotional night for Aciel because right on this day Eden is having a birthday. Since Eden left, Aciel will look more moody on the woman's birthday. I don't know what really happened to Aciel. The man had too much emotion, ego, and arrogance that had always surrounded him, so he could never get Eden back, even though his little heart desperately wanted Eden back.


            After Aciel left, Sian suddenly felt empty and did not know what to do for tonight. Usually if Aciel had fun with the bitches, he would accompany her until the early hours of the morning, then she would just go home to sleep and wake up the next day to go to work. But it's still too late for a Sian to go home to his apartment and go to bed. At eleven, he never slept at eleven. Just imagining it made Sian shudder in horror because it was like it wasn't


his style. He snorted and chose to return to his place with Aciel. There's nothing wrong with him replacing Aciel for using those bitches. He was also more than able to afford them, just like Aciel.


            “You're back again big-mouthed sir?”


            Sian was immediately greeted by the cynical words of the club dancer that Aciel had almost used to satisfy the man, but failed because of Sian's noisy big mouth.


            “Yes, because my friend has gone home, so I am free to have fun here.” reply Sian without interest. He almost ignored the woman and walked straight towards the crowd of sexy women in the middle of the disco floor if the woman did not stop him with her annoying sentence.


            “I thought you really were a holy man, it turns out you're the same as everyone else.”


            “What did you say?” ask Sian cynically. The woman smirked cynically, and bravely the woman pulled the collar of Sian's already messy shirt while whispering sexyly on the left side of Sian's hardened jaw.


            “You hypocritical man who is too lonely.” kekeh woman is full of scorn. Feeling provoked by the woman's provocation, Sian finally pulled the woman's waist before she actually left leaving her who was bubbling from humiliation.


                                                                        -00-


            In the dimly lit room, Aciel pensively himself. Observing the emptiness of the room that has never been changed even though the owner has gone somewhere. It is undeniable that he lost Eden so much. Their togetherness which was always colored with commotion, screams, and tears made Aciel more and more accustomed to the existence of the woman. Even to release it was actually very heavy. It's just that he was forced to make a decision to let go of Eden or to keep hold of Eden with all the pain that Aciel might give him.


Guts!!


            The sound of the smashed glass being slammed was accompanied by a sigh of agony of Aciel as his memories hurriedly twisted his every memory of being with Eden in the room. Memories of when they scream. Memories of when they made love. And the memory of Eden curled up in her arms like a helpless baby.


            “Sial! You really are fucking Brexton! Now I know why you're so insistent on leaving your daughter to me. You want to see me destroyed, don't you?” racau Aciel on empty air. Alcohol has taken away all of Aciel's common sense, until now all he has left is all the pain he has never been able to express to anyone. Even Sianpun will not know how much pain possessed by Aciel because Aciel always managed to fool anyone with a flat face that was never read.


            “Eden.... Congratulations baby, you managed to get my heart...” murmured Aciel slowly while laying his head on the bed of Eden who now looks messy. Aciel's right hand, which hung slightly on the edge of the bed, was seen to bleed slightly from the falling glass fragments scattered below


her hands. This was karma for Aciel because he had hurt a beautiful, gentle woman, and then turned her into a vengeful black swan.


            Slowly Aciel closed his eyes and began to enjoy all his sweet memories together


Eden's gonna keep dancing in her brain. Although he had upheld bottles of alcohol with high levels, all of it would not make his memory of Eden disappear, it was the more concentrated memory poisoned his brain. One of Aciel's most hated memories later emerged. A memory of Eden going on a date with Zyan at a classic-style restaurant that the man had ordered for Eden. To be honest he never missed every second without watching Eden so he always knew who that man was


he approached the woman. But only Zyan always manages to provoke his emotions because only with Zyan, Eden can laugh that wide, without coercion, and everything looks natural. Then all the laughter was more complete with Zyan's sweet treatment that can make Eden's face look sparkling beautiful. Unknowingly Aciel had clenched his hands tightly in his sleep while watching every memory that Eden had left in his memory.


-00-


           Sian scrunched his forehead in disgust as he banged on the hard wooden door so that Aciel and his net immediately stopped their indecent actions before he vomited in front of his friend's room now aslo.


            “Do you guys run out of rooms? What if someone else comes in, not me.” gets angry Sian gets upset while kicking that bitch's blazer off his leg. Aciel who saw Sian's arrival only gave a casual smile while giving one a wet kiss on her lips before the woman actually left her office.


            “Maybe you can get a more amazing release next time.” said Aciel before the woman closed her room door with a gentle gesture.


            Sian, who had been standing next to the long sofa in Aciel's room, looked confused to flatten his buttocks there, because he obviously wouldn't want to sit on top of Aciel's disgusting sex-bed.


            “Kap on the door before entering. You are disturbing my privacy.”, Aciel warned. He then took the mineral water provided by his scheduler, then sipped it slowly before returning to talk to Sian.


            “What are you doing here?”


            “Want to ask for your autograph and make sure you're still fine after last night you came home in a tangled state. Kim told me this morning that you went back to Eden's room with a lot of glass in it. What did you do last night? You don't intend to kill yourself, do you?” search Sian with the eyes that are preoccupied. Accidentally his tail saw Aciel's right hand that had been wrapped in a white bandage complete with faintly printed bloodstains. Seeing that Sian was able to conclude that Aciel had injured himself when the pain of Eden's departure was agonizing. Aciel, meanwhile, was eager to silence his big mouth with duct tape sitting on his desk. Since last night the man really did not stop talking with his wide, noisy mouth.


            “Can you discuss anything other than Eden? I'm sick of hearing it.”


            “Kurasa no. I care about you too much Ace. Seeing you turn into a melancholy man like this makes me really worried.”


            “Hmm, I don't need your care, just give it to someone else. What's wrong with you, you're not sitting?”


            Aciel glanced at Sian indifferently while gesturing for the man to sit next to him.


            “Sitting? On the old couch did you vent your desires? Hohoho...no! Better I keep standing here even though my legs are achy.” reject Sian with a disgusted face. Aciel put his indifferent shoulder to him, and immediately gave the completed financial report he signed to Sian.


            “You haven't heard from Zyan?”


            “Not yet. The last time the media only reported about her marriage, after that they were both completely lost to the earth. Even the restaurant belonging to Zyan's parents had now been sold. I don't think Eden messed with his plan to get away from you. Everything seemed to have been neatly arranged by him. Even Eden had prepared an investor who would buy Brexton's company when it fell into his hands. Huh, I did not expect if Eden had such distant thoughts.” sigh Sian was inexhaustible. All the efforts he has made to help Aciel find Eden have only ended in vain. Eden's totally untraceable in Vegas. He simply disappeared and only left painful memories for Aciel. To be honest Eden also left painful memories in Sian's heart because the man had somehow failed to make Eden's life better after the first miscarriage experienced by Eden first. Had he been able to fight Aciel and be firm with the man so as not to hurt Eden continuously, none of this would have happened. Sometimes Sian thinks about how the fate of Eden after leaving the life of Aciel, Sian only hope that Eden is really happy with Zyan.


            “Maybe he's not in Vegas and we've underestimated Eden so far. Have you confirmed to Brexton's lawyer that all of his property is not used by Eden at all?”


            “Already. The lawyer said that before Eden left, none of Brexton's property was used by Eden. He prefers to sell it and live with the money from the sale of all his properties. Maybe he did it on purpose so you'd find it hard to trace his whereabouts.”


            Aciel involuntarily let out a heavy sigh while closing his tired eyes. This was something he had never imagined before. Should he seek Eden according to the advice given by Sian? But I think it was something in vain. Why would he look for Eden if in fact the woman had lived happily with Zyan? He would only humiliate himself if he met Eden in such a miserable state. Moreover, that karma really applied to him and he was like an idiot man who wanted to beg for love with that woman.


            “What if one day you meet Eden?”


            Aciel opened his eyes, staring at Sian, who was still standing beside the sofa he was sitting on.


           “Maybe I will greet him, and make him back to his knees at my feet.” grinned Aciel cunningly. Of course he would not have damaged his self-esteem if he ever got the chance to meet the woman. Sian was only able to shake his head inexhaustibly at the thought of his best friend who seemed arrogant and confident.


            “I don't think Eden will fall in the same hole twice.”


            “Sian, actually Eden never mess with his words.”


            Aciel suddenly made a serious speech, glaring at the window of his large office. For a long time he wanted to tell this to Sian, but he always held back because he was too lazy to bring up the painful past. But sometimes he felt he had to tell Sian so that the man knew how cunning Eden was all along.


            “What?”


            “About wanting to take revenge on me, it really did. After he left, I began to realize that I had been served by him. Everything he said about my father, it's not entirely true. There are some things that he manipulates until everything seems reasonable and convincing. He wants to make me devastated by hurting my own father. Although I did not like my father, but Eden knew that I still had a little affection for my father. So he created that fake story. About my father's affair in the past and about Render who actually never worked for my father.”


            “But Render was your father's brother-in-law, so your father decided to release him back then. You're too late to realize it Ace.” comments Sian feeling sorry for. In fact, Eden has indeed managed to destroy Aciel to make the man really slumped like this.


            “Actually not really. I was just lazy to take care of the problem. It's too weird if I involve you or involve others in my problems, because in fact it's part of his hatred for me.”


            Sian nodded his head in understanding and decided to immediately exit Aciel's room. His initial intention, which only wanted to ask for Aciel's signature, became long because he had to listen to a series of complaints that were quite emotionally draining. I don't know until when Aciel will stick with his attitude like this. As a friend, he just wants everything back to normal, if possible. But if not, he just wants Aciel to soon find his happiness or at least the man can soon forget his past about Eden.
