Dilemma (Between Friends and Love)

Stubble problem

I looked at President Zukril with fear, this kind of situation really makes me hate. But how else, all this for the sake of my best friend Kanaya. I want to hurt the man I love so much.

It was as if President Zukril's hand was trembling with anger, his face was looking at me sharply, like he wanted to devour me alive. And the words he said made me even more afraid. "You're the dumbest woman I've ever met, until I thought I'd leave this world right away." He spoke casually, but was able to make myself tremble in fear.

"However, you want me to be the replacement for the man who has impregnated your best friend, where exactly is your brain?! Any man would be very angry and hurt if treated like this by his loved ones."

Degs....

Sick, my heart really hurts listening to that. This is the first time President Zukril has spoken harshly to me. How'this? Do I have to apologize and cancel all the plans I have made? But what about Kanaya's fate? I don't want her to suffer, I don't want her baby to be born fatherless. But to be honest, I am also not willing to hand over President Zukril to him. I love President Zukril, so much love.

"Zu, I-I know it has hurt your heart. But do you have to be with the child it contains? How will the humiliation he get?"

"What do you care?!" His impact. "That's the problem, why do you have to sacrifice? Why do you want to be a hero here?! STUPID HERO!!!"

"Zu!"

I couldn't take it very much, my heart hurt so much. How could he as a man say such a thing to women. But I still have to be patient, however, I must still convince President Zukril.

"I beg you, in the name of love."

President Zukril laughed heartily. "In the name of love in ignorance that comes from nowhere?!" His impact.

Yes, I am a fool, but I beg you not for the will of my heart. I just wanted to make a sacrifice for my poor friend. He has no one but me, his parents are gone. And now it is only to me that he expects mercy.

I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to think clearly so that later the sentence that I would throw next can convince President Zukril. Hopefully he will fall and accept Kanaya.

"Zu, didn't you love her so much? you used to be in love with her, then why are you dumping her in the midst of the hardships she faced?" I saw his eyes twirling, I knew he was sick of all this. But I have to keep what I decide. "Just imagine, what if I were in the current position of Kanaya, pregnant from an irresponsible man."

Hmm!!

Huh huh? Why is he even grieving like that? "Just imagine that I'm the one who's going through all that, Zu. Will you leave me like that, alone with all that suffering?" Then I heard her sighing followed by a long breath.

"I think you're out of your mind, tomorrow I'll take you to a psychologist. Your sanity seems to have said yes."

"It's up to you to call me crazy or something, Zu. But I beg you, for the sake of that innocent child." I clenched my hands at him.

"I'm ready to be the father of that child, but to marry Kanaya I don't want to! I love you so much Talia, how could I marry Kanaya?!" His shouting.

I was very surprised by his shout, it was fortunate that we were in this VIP Caffe room, so there was no way anyone would hear the yelling from President Zukril and also this conversation of ours.

Suddenly President Zukril clasped tightly onto my hand, making my hand agonize because of his strong grip. Seen from his fingernails that looked white, of course he must have grasped my hand with all his might. I groaned in pain, wanting me to take my hand off of her, but my strength was losing strongly.

"Le.... Let go of me, i.... It's sick."

Realizing I was in so much pain, President Zukril finally let go of his grip. "I beg you enough, Talia. It's enough don't hurt my heart again, enough! Don't say anything else about this, I don't want to hear it let alone talk about it anymore. It's been.... That's enough."

"If you are no longer able to discuss this, then our relationship is finished here." It was seen that President Zukril immediately froze when he heard my words. "We will live each other and become people who never seem to know each other. I think it's enough as payment for your request not to discuss this again...."

A second later, President Zukril looked at me sharply. His gaze was like an arrow that was ready to shoot and hit my heart. However, his next words either make me happy or even sad for me.

"Alright I agree, I agree to marry your best friend." He said in a flat tone of voice.

I should be happy, right? This is the answer I wanted from earlier, but somehow my heart is really sick. Oh, aye. This is what I call heartbreak, I felt it when Aldo betrayed me.

Ta's.... But, here's my hope. This is what I want and this is my decision, so I have to accept everything. "Thank God you agree."

I saw President Zukril grinning at my words earlier. Seeing that my feelings were so bad, like something President Zukril had planned. "I agree, but of course all of that should be paid as you said before."

As expected, he won't make this easy. "What do you want? Let's say. Pay like that?"

He smiled while looking at me without blinking. His gaze was sharp and deep, I don't know.... I was afraid she would look at me like that. "Come on, what kind of payment do you mean?"

"I'll charge you when I need to." He said as he moved from his seat. "Are you satisfied with my decision? But remember, one day you have to pay for everything and you can't refuse it when I ask for it." Then leave the VIP room.

***

On the way home I kept thinking about the words of President Zukril. He said that he would one day charge a fee from marrying Kanaya, but the question is what kind of payment does he want? Of course I'm sure it wasn't money and the like he wanted because he didn't lack anything like that at all

"Talia, why have you been quiet. Is everything okay? Didn't Zukril agree to marry me?" Kanaya asked that she might be confused to see me from daydreaming.

"I'm okay, I'm just a little soy."

"Then we rest first, travel from the city to your village far enough, it will be very dangerous if you continue the journey with a tired state."

I smiled in response. "Just relax, even though I still have strong cape to drive. You should rest. Go to sleep, your baby must be tired." Kanaya nodded and started closing her eyes.

Come back to my daydream, which forces me to remember all the pain. It hurts to lose the person I love so much for the second time.
