Cassandra Loving

Usurper

The phone was still stuck in Pras' ear. Hugo's stinging laughter still sounded so vivid and annoying.

"D-where did you know about Mayasa?" Pras tried not to be surprised but his tone was stamped. It was obvious that he was shocked by Hugo's confession as well.

Hugo laughed again.

For some reason just hearing his voice over the phone, Hugo's annoying face could be imagined in Pras' head.

"I know because we accidentally met again at a hotel restaurant a few weeks ago. I remember his face. At that time I again met with my client for a brand project. Coincidentally my client was a friend of Mayasa's late husband.

Then he told me a lot because I was his name. She said Mayasa's husband was dead and now while Mayasa was working, her children were taken care of by her in-laws. Her mother-in-law only has one child, right? Mayasa asks her to stay with him even though her husband is dead.

Poor him. He died with 3 children and had to fight to support himself. Good thing her in-laws helped her take care of her son while she worked."

Pras was completely silent on the spot. Mouth locked.

Hugo knows that much about Mayasa? Even to profound personal facts. What a coincidence Pras hates. Why would Hugo know, anyway?

"I don't think you know Pras right I know that. Pras, Indus. I know that Mayasa is beautiful and youthful. But she is the widow of 3 children, Pras. There is no other girl you can date.

I also quite know what your papa is like. Om Arik is so proud of you because you are the only child. Where could he permit you to have a relationship with that woman.

Your story about Cassandra yesterday was a piece of it but I can relate to it myself. Your father must have told you to break up with Mayasa and you were betrothed to Cassandra. I don't know whose son he is. But it's definitely not just anyone's child.

Pras, I was hitchhiking at your house for months, you know. I know and understand how Om Arik. So, isn't that all my talk?" Hugo ended his long words with a slight laugh at the end of the sentence.

Pras restraint. He was obviously upset half dead.

Damnit damnit! The path he took was wrong. He didn't think that his idea of contacting Hugo to help him get Cassandra's attention ended up like this. Hugo knows a lot about Mayasa.

Pras hates this fact.

"Hugo, Mayasa is my office mate. When we met in Bali yesterday, we both had business. Don't make up stories, do.

About Mayasa's personal problems, his status, it has nothing to do with me. Don't take him.

About Cassandra, you know nothing. We were introduced, then fell in love, and decided to get married soon. Maybe after she graduates High School." Pras started to make up stories.

Oh, what a beautiful story this is if in fact as Pras calls it. Worn, fell in love, then married.

If their romance was that easy. Actually complicated.

Hugo laughed again.

"Pras, I'm not stupid! He's not just your office mate like you said, Pras. I know you guys have more relationships. If you are an office friend, why are you holding hands? Haha!" Hugo seemed to be catching Pras wet and he felt satisfied because Pras was cornered.

Pras is silent.

I don't know what the purpose of Hugo the super busy superstar is to explore his personal life to such an extent.

Is it because Hugo is interested in Cassandra?

Yeah, clearly. That's answer.

"City, Pras. So what more reason. Come on, be honest. You still like Mayasa. But you can not fight him because Om Arik must be against you all-out.

Pursue, Pras. Be gentlemen. If it's love, anything that gets in the way is broken. Your papa will also melt, really. Even good to know has 3 direct grandchildren. Haha.

Cassandra did me. Beautiful her. Somewhat tomboy too. It looks kind of eccentric too. You guys don't fit. Cassandra is my type. I know even though I just talked to him for a few minutes. Cassandra was really my dream type. C'mon Pras. Love the contact let me..."

"Yugo! Stopit! You are too pretentious and make up stories. Whatever now! I won't call you again for help. If Cassandra nanyain you then only I say that you change numbers and now arrogant because more famous. Beres!

Tut!

Pras ended the call and went back into the room. He threw his cell phone into the bed and he followed after throwing himself on the soft field.

Bugh!

"God! Rioters! Lots of pretty girls, Hugo! Don't push my Cassandra!" Pras grumbled in annoyance.

Waitaminute!

Waitaminute!

Whahuh? Whatwasthat?

Cassandra-ku?

Pras then growled while closing his eyes. How could the delinquent girl who yesterday slandered him he called his name sweet. Cassandra...

***

While Pras is preoccupied with his own thoughts and his frustration with Hugo, Mayasa the career woman with three children is running out of his car.

Mr. Prambodo aka papa Cassandra has arrived at the office. They made an appointment yesterday to sign the papers and discuss some office matters.

But now Mayasa is late because he has taken his son to the doctor.

"May, don't hurry. I can wait, though. I told you earlier. If your child can't be left yet, you just send the file by courier." Prambodo looked at the frenzied Mayasa while handing over the file on his desk.

Masaya shook his head slowly and sat down.

"No papa, sir. Yesterday I promised I could come at this hour. In fact, I should have taken you to the hospital." Mayasa tried to look okay even though he was tired as well.

Being a mother and father to three children is not easy. Plus the rush as a career woman drains her brain, time, and energy as well.

"Udah is okay, May. I always believe any project under your leadership is okay. Only the execution. Thanks for always working hard for the company.

Hopefully even if I am not here one day, you will still survive May. Do not hesitate to enter and leave the office as flexible as possible so that your role as a mother does not decrease." Prambodo looked at Mayasa proudly.

Yes, Mayasa is one of Prambodo's confidants. His performance and loyalty to the company should not be asked again.

So this is one of the reasons Arik Gudono did not dare to disturb Mayasa's position in the company even though he was eager to get rid of the woman who was loved by Pras.

Mayasa only looked down when praised. He knew Prambodo was seriously saying this. His boss was so good and understood his condition. Therefore despite jealousy and heartbreak for Cassandra because the girl will be married Pras, but Mayasa can not hate.

How could he hate the favorite daughter of the boss who is so meritorious for his career.

"Mendiang Rendi must be proud of you, May. It's not easy being you, May. Anyway, you came home today. Relaxing work from home. Let me monitor your child who is also sick.

Yes, go home. Who knows, your child is healthy. Let it be tonight you can come at the company dinner. I want you to see my son, May.

You remember Cassandra, right? He's grown up now. Later I will announce the engagement of him and Pras."

The deg!
