A bright morning. All people fill the world enthusiastically fill the day with various activities. No different than Ernest. After returning from the city of xx to attend the engagement of his twin brother, the young man returned to the routine of working at the company owned by his father.
A smile always lies on his lips as the employees bow their heads to him. Ernest walked so gallantly down the ground floor of the building before entering the elevator to his study.
When the elevator doors opened, a beautiful face greeted him. Ernest sighed. Sandara appeared suddenly with a smile on her tiny lips.
" Dear morning" said Sandara so gently. The girl reached out, hoping that the lover would welcome her.
"By the side, too, Love." Ernest welcomes the hand of the beloved. Sandara smiled brightly. The two walked down the hallway hand in hand to Ernest's study.
"Darling, have you had breakfast?" Sandara asked as soon as she entered the room. Erich's room was specially designed. It is quite spacious and feels comfortable. While Sandara who served as his personal secretary, worked in the same room with him.
"Em, not yet." Ernest quickly approached his desk, leaving Sandara who chose to sit on the sofa while opening the lunchbox that the girl deliberately prepared like her usual days.
"Darling, what is our agenda today?" Ernest stared at the pile of maps on the table. Huft, the man sighed. Looks like today he'll pass his night time for overtime.
"We have an important meeting with the shareholders, replacing Mr. Arkana. Also attended a lunch with the colleagues of the emissaries from Barathama Corp." Sandara explained while Ernest seemed to nod his head.
Sandara smiled faintly. He opened his lunch and arranged the tableware that he would use for breakfast with Ernest.
Sandara waited, he also poured mineral water into two glasses while glancing from the tail of the eye, watching Ernest's motion that still did not move from his desk.
Sandara grunting. He sighed deeply and then said, "Darling, let's have breakfast. I'm really hungry" whined Sandara as she gripped her belly.
"Wait a minute" Ernest replied without taking his eyes off the sheet.
Sandara was wide-eyed, in disbelief. Ernest even ignored his existence.
"Darling, come. I'm really hungry right now" said Sandara, who couldn't accept being ignored.
"Em, how about you have breakfast first. I'll finish this job for a minute." Ernest's gaze was only fixed on the pile of maps and sheets of paper scattered on the workbench. Only two days took a leave schedule, but the dependents of the work that Arkana put on him seemed to continue to wave and scream for work. Ernest himself who incidentally a productive and hardworking person, did not want to ignore. The task that was given was like a mandate that could not just be trivialized.
Upon hearing Ernest's reply, Sandara clenched both hands. His teeth rubbed against each other as if holding back a furious feeling that he was unable to bear.
"What do you mean, baby? You asked me to eat first, didn't I hear wrong?" Smiling obliquely, San even clucked and shook his head. Never mind with the lover's mind.
"Love, please, don't lure me into this situation. Eat first and leave it for me."
Brakes.
Unexpectedly, Sandara got up while pounding the table. Ernest gasp. The man frowned, as Sandara got up with perfectly rounded eyes and both hands ruffled around her waist.
"I can't believe you've really changed, baby. It's like you're building some distance between us and always having a reason to stay away from me. Say it! Tell me what's wrong with you, Ernest. Say it!" Like a fidelity, Sandara half-cried and stood before Ernest with tears in her eyes. Ernest himself was flabbergasted. Surprised and confused by the spontaneous reaction that the lover is aiming at right in front of him.
The man also got up from his position. Intending to calm down and embrace the body of the lover who quivered, but unexpectedly the girl just brushed off his two hands.
"Stop pretending to care about me, Ernest. Our relationship has been in place for so long, so it's only natural that you're getting bored and want to turn your back on me."
Ernest who was originally calm now began to get emotional. He stared fiercely at Sandara who seemed to be the most hurt party among the relationships that were being lived. Long years of love, who does not know the affection of both of them. So close that it can barely be separated. But who would have thought if over time the relationship between the two began to fade. The spark of love that once burned, slowly dimmed even barely extinguished as sharp pebbles began to block the footsteps of the two.
"You think I've been messing with my feelings all along, Love. You think the relationship we've had all these years isn't serious, it doesn't have a purpose?" The hunting breath and sharp wielding gaze had dimmed the guts of a Sandara. The distance that was only a few snores made Sandara not strong to look at Ernest's pair of sharp eyes as if he was skinning them.
Sandara threw away her face. Keep a proud face in front of the man he loves.
"If you've been feeling ignorant lately and away, I can still accept. But when you didn't take me to Erich's engagement party, I really didn't. You don't seem to think of me as the most important person in your life, and then what do you think of me as?"
Ernest was silent, just looking at Sandara's pair of eyes fixed without intending to answer the lover's question.
"Say, Ernest. What do you consider me to be? Who am I in your life?"
Again, Ernest was just silent and only a sharp eye in response.
Sandara's chest went up and down as she breathed. The view of the two is still clinging to a while until Sandara herself chose to turn her face.
"As you know, love. It's not me who's changed, it's you! Your possessiveness and prejudice are the biggest enemies within you. You're increasingly holding me back even accusing me of your utterly unproven prejudices. While you, instead accuse me and claim if you are the one to blame in the chaos of our love relationship. Awake, Love. Actually you're just looking for a justification. You always blame me but think you're the right one and you know that? I really hate him. Even if you're the girl I love the most, then I won't hesitate to take it off." Ernest turned, turned his heels and passed away. His wide strides led Ernest out of his study that felt so stifling. He even ignored her as Sandara kept calling her name.
How much more do I have to sacrifice for you, Sandara. I have raised you from the depths of poverty, made you queen to give you much luxury. Apartments, jobs, even clothes, you don't have to bother buying them, but what I get. You even let me down in such a way. Carrying my family name that you make an excuse is a trigger for our relationship. Know Sandara. Even if you are the girl I love the most, but your position is not worth much than my family. I hope you can understand that.
