Cassandra Loving

She Still Love Me Same

Mayasa felt slapped with the words of Arik Gudono.

Yeah, he knows it. From his actions, Arik wanted to get rid of him from the office long after he was caught dating Pras. But it was just a gelagat that he could feel during internal meetings, debate projects, and others. Mayasa knew the man was arguing with her and was trying to get rid of her subtly.

But now that Mayasa heard those words directly in her ear, it felt even more painful. His chest was tight and his lips could not utter a single word of rebuttal.

"I'll let you in the office because it's purely your performance. I must admit it. It is not because Prambodo is defending you out of pity for your widow status. It's not because Pras begged me not to fire you.

Wasn't it! Not because of that! I'm fair. I will retain the people whose performance is decent. You deserve, beyond my frustration the same behavior you are courting my child shamelessly.

But on the other hand I know you haven't forgotten Pras. It looks from your gaze on Cassandra at the party, as well as from the gaze that I could clearly see just now.

Remember yes, Mayasa. You are not as good as Cassandra. I'm sure Pras was just stuck because he was often with you in the office. I'm sure he'll forget you quickly and love Cassandra. Cassandra is young, beautiful, innocent-hearted and easily loved."

Arik Gudono's slow but sharp voice could only be heard by Mayasa as they stood away from the people in a quiet corner near the beautifully laid out indoor plants.

Mayasa felt that Arik Gudono's words just now had nothing he could refute. Forced to deny it would be in vain and make his boss even more hate him.

Mayasa felt the wound on his face that was still wet was getting more and more painful exposed to wind gusts from nearby fentilation. But it felt like the pain in the face was less painful than the wound in his heart.

Mayasa struggled to hold his own mouth to answer. He wants to stay quiet and make Arik believe he does not mess around, but his pride that just felt slammed it needs to defend himself.

So when her uncontrollable mouth suddenly replied, Mayasa was silent a thousand languages after.

"But my son still loves me. Pras still loves me. Seen from his gaze when he looked at me. Cassandra may be prettier, younger, and richer than I am. But Pras' heart is still for me.

Cassandra was just a child in Pras' eyes. He agreed to this matchmaking because of filial piety to parents. He doesn't care about ruining his own future and his own heart." Mayasa tried to be tough when saying this when he wanted to say it while shouting in front of Arik who had insulted him because of his age and status.

Arik Gudono looked at Mayasa with his sharp tails. The long-haired man felt that he would be surprised also apparently with the courage of Mayasa. He thought that woman would no longer dare to deny it this sharp.

"Pras does not ruin his future. His future would be ruined if he were still the same as you. He's 27 years old and too young to be the father of your children. He will waste his potential and youth by wasting time with you." Arik replied with no less crushing words.

How did Mayasa react? Of course he could only go deeper.

"And remember one more thing yes, Mayasa! At the time of yesterday's accident in the building, Pras knew you were there and were trapped. I'm the one who told you. Then you know what the reaction is?" Arik tries to provoke Mayasa's reaction by cutting off his words.

Mayasa was silent but Arik knew the woman was still looking at him.

"Pras didn't ask if you were okay. Are you safe, are you hurt. He's just asking me about Cassandra's dad. He only cares about Cassandra. He doesn't love you anymore. Don't be so confident.

Do not feel victorious just because Pras managed to trap you because he was young and innocent. Now Pras knows what he wants. Pras wants to protect Cassandra. You don't see in front of him what else?" Arik was still trying to make the bowed Mayasa lift his face.

A few meters ahead, Cassandra was crying in front of her papa coffin and Pras hugged her.

Their position was turned back to where Mayasa and Arik stood, so Pras until this moment did not realize that Mayasa was in a corner a few meters behind him.

Oh, to be jealous doesn't feel entitled either. Mayasa could only hold back so that his tears would not fall.

"Pras looks desperate to protect Cassandra. That feeling of sympathy is the beginning of a feeling of love that will grow. I may be too old to talk about romance, Mayasa. I also failed at my marriage.

But I know how gesture a man who puts his heart on women. It only takes time and more intense closeness until they like each other for real" Arik said with confidence.

Mayasa increasingly silent because he knew papa Pras' speech was right.

It was not that Pras was also sympathetic to him before they finally got closer and inaugurated the forbidden romance?

Just get drowning Mayasa. In addition to his physical weakness because he had not recovered properly, the scene in front of him also made him more weak.

He saw Cassandra getting bigger crying and Pras' head was no longer awkward to immerse itself in the girl's hair. Pras's hand also looked casual grabbing the slender waist and leading him back into the room, leaving the coffin ready to close.

Arik immediately glanced at Mayasa and invited him forward. He gave the code to the funeral home officer who was about to close the chest.

"Give us 5 minutes. Come, Mayasa. You also have something to tell Prambodo for the last time? You're stuck for hours in the same place. Prambodo must have told you something," said Arik as he walked towards the chest.

Mayasa did not answer. He just followed Arik in front of him whose steps were so fast.

He saw that some of the other victims' chests had been closed. Some have not yet. Some of their family members whispered some sort of last message.

Arik Gudono smiled towards his friend who was stiffened. His face looks sad. Mayasa observed from the side.

"Pram, relieved now? Your ridiculous wish is granted, right? You didn't die of cancer, you died of an accident. Glad you are, Pram? I'm not." Arik's voice sounded hoarse.

Mayasa was sad to hear it. Although he hates Arik Gudono, but he knows the man loves Prambodo. They are so close friends like siblings are so close.

"Your wish is another tomorrow, Pram. Two more days Cassandra and Pras will be officially married. I'll make sure the date doesn't change again, as per your request." Arik Gudono wiped his tears.

Mayasa could only gawk.

The wedding still going on? Two more days...?
