"Huh, twins? Apparently Mr Erich has a twin brother?" isabel muttered in disbelief shortly after coming out of Erich's study. But that's the fact. Paras the two men were so similar, the betel nut split in two. Only their hairstyles are different.
Oh jesus.
Isabel is still inexhaustible, especially when looking at the character of the two. Although he had only met Ernest for the first time, the girl believed that the man had a warm and friendly personality, unlike her master, Erich.
"Maybe they are given the same physical grace but with different characters."
Isabel left the skyscraper that became a place to scavenge her provision now, when her working hours had run out.
Before returning home there was still one more thing that the girl wanted to do. Visiting Retno, and ensuring the health condition of the middle-aged. It was better or the same as the last time he met.
Isabel first stopped by the sweet martabak shop which was on the side of the road. He also ordered two boxes of sweet martabak with different flavors.
It did not take long, a plastic bag containing sweet martabak was already in his hands. Night began to crawl, Isabel rushed to get to Retno's house faster with her motorbike.
💗💗💗💗💗
Retno warmly welcomed his arrival. The middle-aged woman already looked fresher than the day before.
"Thank you very much, miss." Retno received the hand that Isabel brought with her with an expanding smile.
"Bi, Abel was only able to buy this."
"This is more than enough, Miss. Aunt is amazingly happy." The daughter of Retno who has been caring for her is no less sumringah. The girl who was still in school began to feed the food that Isabel brought painstakingly to Retno.
Retno also said if the condition of his body began to improve from day to day. It may take a few weeks to get back to work for the company as before.
Isabel nodded in understanding. If at any time Retno returned to the company, then he would be happy to release, considering he was only hired temporarily to replace Retno.
Isabel says goodbye when the wall clock is 9 p.m. With a medium speed the sweet girl extends her motorbike to the house.
The guards, who were on standby at the main gate, quickly opened the gate and closed it again after Isabel's motorbike passed into the courtyard.
The magnificent house is quite spacious. Mother's iron horse and stepbrother are invisible, but there is one iron horse that is quite familiar to Isabel is now parked in the garage.
Isabel breathed deeply. Reluctant to go through the front door, Isabel turned around to enter through the back door.
"Isabel, wait!"
Isabel growled in annoyance. The figure of the owner of the iron horse was indeed and intended to approach. Although reluctant, inevitably Isabel also turned her body.
"What's wrong?"
"Can't we talk Isabel?" Steven, a well-built man in formal clothes was trying to reach Isabel's fingers, but the girl quickly grabbed him.
"About?"
Steven swept a look around. The front page makes Steven not free to talk.
"I beg you, not here. At least we can talk somewhere else."
"I don't have much time."
"Isabel, please." Steven put on a face.
"Don't I tell you I don't have time. You're not blind and you clearly remember everything I do in the house."
Both were silent for a moment. Because there was no response, Isabel was about to run your name again Steven held back his steps. Even Steven again grabbed Isabel's wrist.
"Abel, I beg you." Isabel closed her eyes. I don't know why he couldn't resist Steven's wishes.
💗💗💗💗💗
"You work?" Steven scanned Isabel's appearance. The plain t-shirt that was covered in a jacket as well as the subordinates of the jens pants that the girl was currently wearing.
"I'm sorry, you must know that everything that happened wasn't what I wanted."
Now the two men are sitting in wooden chairs around the back garden. Beaming the moonlight, Steven said at length that essentially was doing defense.
"Everything did not escape the interference of father and I as a child, unable to do much. Can only follow the will, in return for my father has raised and financed my life until now."
Isabel did not respond. The defense that was ejected from Steven's lips did not even make him affected.
You two-faced guy. Last night she even made out in front of me. And now you're telling me that all is just a base of compulsion. Bulshits.
"But from the deepest corner of my heart, I still love you so much, Isabel. You're not gonna be replaced by anyone."
Isabel breathed deeply. To be honest he was willing to meet with Steven especially in a situation like this. Just the two of them and of course the chest tightens.
The events of a few years ago are certainly still clearly imprinted in Isabel's memory. Where a Steven becomes the only man so close to him. Five years of age difference, certainly not a barrier. Moreover, Steven's father was the right hand of the presumed Praja, Isabel's father.
Frequently spending time together, apparently pecking the flames of romance in Steven's heart for Isabel. Isabel herself who was very young at that time, did not really understand, but considered and loved Steven like a brother.
Praja is expected to be flabbergasted, when Steven firmly said if he loved Isabel and would marry her later. Praja had thought that the young man's words were just a joke.
Steven's not broken charcoal. Not only in Praja he revealed a confession, but also to his father. Until after deliberating the families got an agreement. Steven and Isabel are married. Although no matter when the official wedding will take place, given the age of the two who are still so young, but a pair of rings managed to be embedded in Isabel's ring finger as a symbol of a bond.
But now, the plan only remains discourse. When the mother dies and the father is bedridden by paralysis, Steven breaks off and wants to marry Lara, his half-brother.
Does Isabel accept it? Sure oes. Isabel's tired. Greed has closed the eyes of his mother and stepbrother. Not enough to destroy his family but to destroy his life. Isabel. For him to fight is useless. Allow time to answer all lara. Giving up does not mean losing. But only a loser can win by cheating.
"I've forgotten everything. About us and our dreams. Be happy." Isabel's voice was so calm. But it feels pierced in Steven's heart.
"But Abel, I..."
"What are you two doing?" The high voice of someone from behind made Steven gasp. The man spontaneously got up with a face that began to pias. Isabel still seemed calm. Not surprised or scared. Keep sitting in its original place, while looking straight at the view.
Both are quite familiar with the figure of the owner of the thunderous voice.
"Say?"
"We-we didn't do anything. We both just chat." Half stammered Steven replied. The spontaneous one gets a sharp glare from a larasati.
"Hem, that's so smart of you, apparently. Play with him behind me."
Steven was speechless, his face down.
"And you" said Lara, pointing at Isabel's face. While one other hand gripped Isabel's long hair quite tightly. "You even know we're getting engaged, but why are you still teasing her. Where's your brain exactly?" Larasati tightened her grip on Isabel's hair. Steven gulped. Sometimes it looks grimacing as if it can feel the pain that is now felt Isabel, but she was not able to do much. The more he worried about Isabel, the more Larasati would make the girl even more sick.
Buk..
Isabel directs her elbow right in the heart of Larasati. The woman screamed, her body even staggered until it spontaneously made the hand that was used to grip Isabel's hair come off.
"Damn. Dare you look."
"Other thing I should be afraid of. Didn't you take everything from me? Then what else do you want? My life? Father's life? Let's do. Finish us off if it makes you satisfied!" Isabella screamed as if she were venting all the anger that was abounding within her.
"Those who have destroyed my parents' home, those who have made my mother die, and you are the ones who have paralyzed my father. Are you really not satisfied until you continue to torment me?"
Silent. Only the roar of breath was heard.
"Come, do. After this at least I won't see any more traitors like you."
Larasati, who was once stunned, is now beginning to find consciousness. The girl passed away, followed by Steven who followed her steps.
Isabel stared at the backs of the two men who were now increasingly away from her. Body shed. Lunglai is boneless.
