Choosing Love !?!?

Be ill...

"Chris, please don't go, why do you have the heart. After I give you my most precious possession." Alex clings to Chris' indifferent legs and forces his legs. Alex who tried to hold him was dragged along.

"Take me off, you can't make me satisfied. This relationship cannot be continued. I've been holding myself back all this time." Chris stomps his leg while his hand pushes Alex to the back.

Alex awoke from his sleep sobbing, the corner of both his eyes wet with tears. This was the first time she had dreamed to tears. The dream had really felt real, his chest really felt tight. Grab a glass of water on the bedside table that he always prepares before going to bed. After his breathing returned to normal he then picked up his phone. There was a message from Chris 3 hours ago.

To Alex: I've arrived, there's been a slight obstacle with the signal here because of the blizzard so only now can I tell you. Don't think weird, my dear. I'll call you later.

The feeling of worry before going to bed is now gone after reading a message from Chris. This time he went back to sleep feeling calm and forgot his nightmare.

Although the time difference is quite far, but Chris and Alex always maintain good communication. They always take the time to make video calls every day even if sometimes only five minutes. But still Alex was upset because the business trip which was originally only for three days extended again was likely to be a week because his client was a little difficult to overcome.

"It's probably a week, it's likely to mean it'll be longer than that" Alex protested during a video call with Chris.

"It's that big you miss me. Does that mean I'll get a surprise when I get back," Chris teased.

"Yes, I'm going to pinch your whole body until it bruises because it makes me wait a long time" Alex said.

"Don't be mad, my dear, I promise once the problem here is over I'll go straight home."

"Don't you just make excuses to be with Madeline for longer" Alex said with a sullen look. Her swollen cheeks made her look adorable.

"Hahahahha, I only met her once, after which I was busy meeting with clients. It's been.. Already, not today you have a family event. I also have a job to do. I'll call you later."

"Yes, don't try to tease other women, yeah" Alex blabbed his lips giving Chris a long-distance kiss and left the room.

Today there will be special guests coming to his house for dinner. As promised, Brother Andre will finally introduce his lover tonight. There are no special events to prepare for, just a family dinner as usual. His parents said no need to give sweeteners to welcome prospective ghosts, he must know the true state of this family.

Novita Kusuma Jaya is the name introduced by Andre to his family. His name is no stranger to the ears because his parents are fairly well-known textile entrepreneurs even to neighboring cities. Actually just by knowing who his parents were, all the other questions regarding his background were answered already. Their lives have never been separated from the local newspaper and television news. People in the city always talk about them. Novita is the youngest child and his two older brothers have already married. Their wedding party was held in a massive way until it was broadcast on TV. They invited all the lower classes and also orphanages and nursing homes. Their families are disinclined because they are very generous.

The introductory dinner went well. Novita is a very friendly and friendly child. He easily gets along with Andre's parents and his younger brother, Alex. Although the son of a distinguished family did not in the least he boasted of his family's possessions. He told me more about his relationship with Andre which turned out to have been established for 3 months. From the beginning of their meeting, when Andre volunteered to clean the beach and entered in the same group as Novita, and the next day they met again because of the task of Andre's office who had to record and convey government assistance to the nursing home in his city and at that time Novita was helping his father who happened to bring a donation of basic necessities for nursing home. It was from there that they got to know each other further, and then started a serious relationship.

"Are you really sure of Andre's choice? You already know who his family is," asked Mom when cleaning the dining table in Alex's aid.

"Novi is not a spoiled child who only depends on his parents' possessions. Andre has met his parents, they have given their blessing and do not mind the status of our family who are ordinary people. I happen to be a representative of the office every time there is a charity, so I met Pak Jaya quite often, and from there I got my blessing. He is happy because I also care about those in need" Andre explained at length.

Because both parties have introduced themselves to the family, the next thing that needs to be done is a family meeting of both parties to determine how their relationship continues. Whether directly to the level of marriage or still waiting for the readiness of two lovebirds who are in a relationship.

And after seeing the busy schedule of each family, finally set the family meeting day five more days precisely Sunday.

******

"Lex you've got a holiday permit for tomorrow?" mother Yulia asked as her daughter Alex enjoyed breakfast.

"Udah ma'am, done," said Alex giving a thumbs up with a sweet smile. Tomorrow is the day of a family meeting between his family and the family of Kak Novi, his brother's girlfriend.

Alex takes his cut tomorrow and continues with his holidays that fall on Monday and Tuesday, so Alex's total holiday becomes three days.

Actually, that's not the only reason for his pleasure today. Last night Chris told me that tomorrow he was going to fly home because his business was done. After eight days the wait was over.

That day Alex was working more vigorously than usual. Even though the Black Grill was very busy that day, Alex did not seem tired at all. Even he still had time to go for a walk with Ratna and Stefi after work.

"Yaaaahhh now we can no longer enjoy the good looks of Kak Andre," said Ratna.

"Yes now Brother Andre is no longer ours" Stefi said.

"Dam!! Since when did my sister become yours" Alex protested jokingly.

"Well, from the beginning we were the same because you want to deket Kak Andre," said Stefi who immediately received a message from Alex.

The afternoon returned from the streets Alex immediately took a shower and prepared to sleep. He wanted to go to bed early because he wanted to wake Chris up there so as not to arrive late at the airport. After calculating the time difference between his place and Chris's place, Alex then sets an alarm on his phone and goes to sleep.

At 01:30 in the morning.

The rock season's groove rang out from Alex's cell phone filling his bedroom. He deliberately wears it as an alarm because he does not like rock music so much that it always manages to get him up quickly. Soon he headed to the bathroom to wash his face, and then patted a toner cotton pad so that his face looked fresh. After making sure his face looked refreshed, Alex returned to bed enveloping himself with a blanket as if he had just woken up from sleep. Grab her phone at the side table and then call Chris.

Meanwhile, in other parts of the world, precisely in the state of NY, a digital desk clock located on a small table next to the bed shows at 09.00 am. The sound of ringing and vibrating the phone that was not far from the digital clock was ringing forcing the man who was sleeping fast reach the origin towards the sound that disturbed his sleep.

"What's the matter, baby?" her question after successfully forcing her eyes open received a video call that turned out from her lover.

"Chriiiiiiisssss it turns out my hunch is not wrong, how could you still sleep, another hour your plane leaves!" alex's nagging from across the continent.

"Alex dear there's still two hours. I still have plenty of time" said Chris as he yawned after he checked local time.

"But you don't have to check in first."

"My Alex, I'm on a private jet. I don't have to queue up like people who get on a regular plane" Chris explained in a hoarse voice.

"I'm sorry I don't know, I've never been on a private jet." Alex gave a reason. "But don't sleep anymore, let's talk. Just continue to sleep on the plane" Alex asked. She was delighted to see her lover lying on the white bed, revealing the chest of her field. He looks so sexy and handsome.

Actually, Chris' head still feels heavy due to too much drinking last night, but he can not refuse Alex's request.

"Well, what does the Princess want to chat about?"

Glad to hear Chris' answer, Alex bombarded him with a series of questions, "Why are you sleeping without clothes? It's snowing there, isn't it? Are you wearing something under?"

Chris rubbed his face with his hand that was not holding a cell phone, then grabbed his hair slowly to reduce his headache. He himself was not aware that he was not wearing clothes, and his hotel room had a warm room so that he did not feel cold at all.

"Here there is a pengha.." not finished explaining to Alex, Chris felt something soft move under his blanket.

"Who are you talking to? isn't it still too early to talk."

Drowsiness and headache Chris disappeared immediately saw a figure without a thread that emerged from under his blanket. Quickly on the lyrics of his phone screen.

It was too late, he could not point his phone anywhere else so that Alex would not see a situation that even left him shocked. All he saw was Alex looking at him with an angry, sad, confused look, and a second later the call was cut off.

Chris tries to call Alex but his number is dead and can't be reached.

He then turned to the figure of the naked woman in front of him who was back to sleep.

"Why are you here, Charlotte?" chris asked, he did not care if the interlocutor was a woman, plus he was sleeping.

Chris tried to remember what happened. He then got up to the bathroom and flushed his body with water from the shower. He needed to cool his head and calm himself down in order to be able to remind him of what happened. After feeling somewhat refreshed he put on his bathrobe then made a cup of coffee and sat on the sofa overlooking the balcony.

Little by little his memory returned. Yesterday, a big deal was made between him and his client, Charlotte. To celebrate the establishment of this business relationship Charlotte held a celebration banquet. Chris is not a strong person against alcohol, but if he only drinks the type of drink in succession he can always control himself not to make trouble.

Unfortunately last night Charlotte managed to convince him to try several different drinks including cocktails that are quite high in alcohol content. He only thought because the size of the glass was small so it would have no effect, and now he really regretted it.

Last night's hot scene came back faintly in her head, and she also remembered that when she did it with Charlotte her lips called 'my little girl'. The call he was just calling for Alex.

She saw Charlotte lying peacefully in bed. Fortunately, he did not throw it out immediately. However, it was she who brought Charlotte here even though her brain was not working properly due to the influence of alcohol. It would be unfair if he was suddenly kicked out after what he did to the woman.

Chris thought of Alex. This time her little girl hated herself. But what worries him even more is how much it hurts Alex to see what she's witnessing with her own eyes. Chris cursed himself because the girl who wanted him to be happy was hurt.

An hour passed, Charlotte finally woke up from her sleep. Chris sat on the sofa staring blankly at the balcony.

"Are we making trouble? Is it possible that the person you were talking to was your lover?" guess Charlotte.

"It's all my fault" said Chris flat still staring blankly out the balcony.

"I didn't mean to ruin your relationship. I don't know if you have a lover" Charlotte said guiltily. He heard that Chris likes to change women and never had a serious lover. That's why he didn't reject Chris' invitation last night. Who is the woman who is not tempted by the figure of Chris who is handsome, sexy, and charismatic.

"If you need my help, I can explain to your girlfriend if this is all my fault" said Charlotte, who then got up and put on her clothes on the floor.

Hearing Charlotte's words made Chris feel twice as guilty. He did not only do bad to one woman, but two. She softly said, "Thank you, but this is purely my fault. I have to take responsibility myself. Sorry for my treatment of you. If you want to cancel our cooperation I won't demand anything."

"Hey come on, this is a partnership that benefits both parties, why should I cancel it. I am a professional. It's a personal matter, it has nothing to do with our employment contract," Charlotte approaches Chris after he finishes dressing and tidying up his performance." Don't worry, if I have to be a scapegoat so that your relationship is good again, I will do it. I've gotten used to hating a lot of people who envy my success. No problem if you add one."

Chris stood hugging Charlotte formally as Charlotte was about to return to her place." Thank you for your understanding, maybe if that was the only way I would be left standing in front of you as my thanks" Chris said.

*********

Alex's body did not stop shaking, his breathing was tight from the crying that would not stop. His happiness was gone in an instant. He wanted to reject what he had seen. Is it wrong if he immediately thinks bad without hearing an explanation from Chris.

What other explanation needs to be heard after seeing her lover in bed with a woman and they are naked. Will there be an explanation that will keep their relationship as lovers .

Alex immersed his face in the pillow so that the sound of his sobbing was muffled.

Why should her first love story be this painful. Now her crying turned into a loud whim because her chest was really tight and made it difficult to breathe. At her own chest hit as if it could bring out a pain in her chest.

"Alex you why son?" Her mother opens the door to Alex's room and is shocked to see the state of her only daughter. She initially went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, but as she passed in front of Alex's room, she heard a cry.

"Sa - sick ma'am, sick all the time, why love is as painful as i-ni." said Alex stammering.

Hearing the words of her son Yulia's mother could guess what happened to her daughter. Gently hugged and bought Alex's head and said, "Honey, sometimes pain is necessary, so that we can learn and achieve happiness that is far beyond the pain you have ever felt."

"But Mom, Alex doesn't know if Alex can."

"Hush, don't talk carelessly. You know how many times you've been hurt by men, until you finally meet your father. Look now, I'm very happy with my family" said Alex.

"Cry as much, and then rise. The first one was very painful. Remember the word mom, don't be kapok. Look for your Happiness, and remember you still have your Father, Mother and Brother Andre. We will always be there for you."

"Make Mum." Hugged Alex tightly.

For almost an hour you accompany Alex while chatting things that are funny or that can calm her down. Alex then told her mother to go back to sleep after her crying stopped and she could control herself.

Although Alex could not go back to sleep, but closed his eyes. As her mother suggested she started making lists about what good things had happened during her time with Chris, although in the end she lost her. No matter how small it should be on the list, it can help a little reduce the pain of loss. That's what his mother said.

"I've got a lot of expensive stuff," Alex muttered to himself, starting to make a list of good things. "I visited many beautiful and luxurious places. I used to ride in expensive cars. I've been living the lifestyle of the rich."

Alex opened his eyes and said, "Above all else, I didn't give up what's most precious to me to get this kind of betrayal." A slightly satisfied smile slanted from the corner of his lips.

If you think back to losing Chris is not something that is detrimental, after all, a lot of things that I can, from material and also new experiences, and I do not lose the most valuable part for myself. This is your first Alex. Make learning. His mind in the heart.

Although his family gave him permission not to attend family gatherings, Alex insisted on joining. He hoped that by pretending to be tough, he would become really strong.

From the family meeting event has been agreed if another month will be held the engagement event in followed by the wedding a month later.

"Lex want to go for a walk? The brother who bought it," asked Andre. Her mother had already told her and Dad about Alex's problem, so she wanted to cheer up her beloved sister a little.

"No ah, Alex wants to fall asleep," Alex refused and passed to his room.

The sound of the door bell was heard in the afternoon as the Purnomo family leisurely gathered on the back porch. It was usually Alex's job as the youngest member to open the door. But this time Alex asked her brother to open the door. I don't know why the feeling wasn't good, because Chris' plane should have landed an hour ago.

Sure enough, how furious Andre was at the figure behind the door.

"What are you here for. You think because you're rich you can act like it. Don't because you're older than me I'll be afraid to fight you!" snapped Andre until heard until the back porch.

The father who heard Andre's high voice from the beginning immediately rushed over to the front.

" Andre is enough, don't be so disrespectful to guests. Come in. Let me talk, "I order firmly.

"Thank you sir, I'm here to see Alex, there's something I need to be clear about" Chris said politely. He's coming straight from the airport.

"I'm sorry Chris, but Alex told me that he didn't want to meet with Chris Son" he said. "Father hope you give Alex some time to calm himself down. There's no point in talking if both of your thoughts and emotions aren't calm" he continued.

Hearing his father's answer Alex, Chris resigned. He doesn't know what else he should use to get Alex to meet him. Actually he could come again tomorrow and tomorrow again, and so on until Alex is willing to meet him, but that means he does not respect Alex's father's request.

*******

After confining himself for two days in the room, Alex must finally face the outside world again. Even though his feelings are getting better, especially Ratna, Stefi, Nayla and Bimo come to cheer him up and comfort him, still returning to work in a place that has deep memories with Chris is not an easy matter. Half-heartedly he stepped out of the dressing room towards the restaurant.

"Alex can come to my room for a while" call Mr. Radit when Alex gets to the restaurant area. All the other staff stared at him smiling compassionately at him. They seem to know why Mr. Radit took him.

"Mr Chris is waiting for you inside Lex, "said Mr. Radit as they arrived in front of his office. On his pat, Alex's shoulder softly encouraged, then he passed away leaving Alex standing limp in front of the door.
