Dilemma (Between Friends and Love)

Plan

"So that Kanaya is your ex-boyfriend?" Manya make sure.

President Zukril nodded. "Yes, but he left me just for a man he just met."

"Aldo, is that man Aldo?" My word.

"Who's Aldo?"

I let out a long sigh, my heart ached as I remembered the betrayal committed by Aldo.

"Aldo was my ex-lover, he betrayed me and made love with Kanaya." I clearly.

I saw the surprised look on President Zukril's face, and he looked at me with a serious look.

"That means we have the same fate, Talia. Both abandoned by those we care about." Said.

He seemed to be laughing, whether it was a happy laugh or even a sorrowful laugh. "But I've forgotten how I felt about Kanaya for a long time, so I don't care about her being in a relationship with anyone anymore."

"But she has a relationship with my lover, I'm not willing. I'll take Aldo back." I said with a slightly raised voice.

"What is so special about her that you love her so much? Such unfaithful men are not worth defending, let alone fighting for. You are a good woman, remember! Good women are only for good men, and vice versa."

I don't know President Zukril, am I a good woman? For sure I just want Aldo to come back to me, no matter how much he has hurt my heart.

Love is strange, even though the wounds he inflicted so deeply I still love him, expecting him to return.

"You better think again, lest you regret it after coming back with that man." President Zukril.

"I'm sure, why should I regret it?" I said.

"Are you sure it's love, and not obsession? I'm afraid it's just a mere obsession because you're jealous of Kanaya who has taken Aldo away from you, and you want to take your envy and disappointment away by taking Aldo back from her."

I was shocked to hear the words of President Zukril. True, whether I am still truly in love with Aldo, I fear that President Zukril said it is true.

Is this love just an obsession? Ah, I'm so confused by how I feel right now, I'm going to plan like this.

Seeing me speechless, President Zukril smiled at his smile. "Rethink Talia, because the decisions you make today will determine your future. Think about what will happen when you make that decision. Remember that! Once disloyal remains unfaithful, and will continue to be so."

I looked at President Zukril with sadness, what decision should I make now? I was so confused, feeling stuck with this situation. I hate being weak like this.

"I know for a fact that you're very confused right now, then we'll make a deal."

"What deal?" I'm confused.

"How about we pretend to be in love, then we both invite Kanaya and Aldo to do a double date."

"Double dates? Why do we have to do that, what's the purpose?"

"You're still confused whether you're still in love with that jerk named Aldo. So we make a plan to get us closer to them, at least make friends. That way you are more free to approach Aldo, and at that time you can feel your own feelings for Aldo. Are you still in love with her or just an obsession."

I didn't know whether or not to agree with President Zukril's plan, but I also turned out to be curious about my current feelings.

Did I agree to the plan of President Zukril only? Maybe this way my life will be calmer.

There are two possibilities that will happen if this plan goes ahead. First, if I still love Aldo and manage to take him from Kanaya, maybe I will be very happy to continue the relationship with Aldo. But if it were the other way around and it turned out that this was just an obsession as President Zukril said, maybe I would step down and let Aldo go along with Kanaya.

"All right, I agree. Then when are we gonna start this plan?" Ask Talia.

"Maybe later, because tomorrow I'll take you and Grandma for a walk. How do you want to come, right?"

I nodded in agreement. I don't know why I couldn't refuse President Zukril's request.

***

At night I was busy doing my job, today was really exhausting.

I have to finish my work tonight, because tomorrow I will go for a walk with Grandma and President Zukril.

It felt good that I was already considered my own family by Grandma, even the love that Grandma gave me was so sincere. I can feel that sincerity.

Suddenly my phone rang, when I saw it was a call from Grandma. "Long-life Grandma, Aamiin…." My word.

"Hallo, Grandma?"

"Hallo Talia dear, how are you?" Ask Grandma over there.

"I'm good, Grandma. Grandma what's up, have you taken the medicine yet?" My toot.

"Grandmother is good and has taken medicine. Grandma is happy if you agree to go for a walk with Grandma and Zu tomorrow, you do not sleep too late, you are afraid to wake up late, because we will leave early in the morning. And then Grandma will tell Zu to pick you up."

"Yes, Grandma. Grandma also don't sleep too late huh, don't eat too late." I said.

"Whoever my darling. Yasudah, Grandma hang up first. Take care of yourself, baby."

"Yes, Grandma." Then Grandma turned off her phone.

It was so nice to be treated this special way by Grandma, even Grandma already considered me as her own granddaughter.

An hour later….

I finally finished my work tonight, and tomorrow I won't have to worry about my work piling up.

I climbed into the bed and lay down comfortably. "Happy, I'll take a walk tomorrow. Hehe."

About tomorrow I will be taken for a walk where? Will I be invited to a beautiful island with a very romantic atmosphere, then with a sweet smile President Zukril proposed to me and put a cute in my sweet day.

I was shocked by my own thoughts. "What the fuck am I, I can think like that. Well, don't be like this, dong."

I feel ashamed of myself for this insolent thought. Don't dream of Talia, which may be as handsome and as good as President Zukril likes you.

It is impossible if a President of a large company likes a mediocre woman like me, especially I am not as good looking as his ex. Kanaya's.

I can only dream of being able to get a man like President Zukril. Remember Talia, President Zukril was like a beautiful prince. And you are but an Ascensioner. Accept not accept, like not like, I have to accept that fact. Hixes.
