Dilemma (Between Friends and Love)

Unaltered

Eight months later….

Aldo's business is getting more advanced and growing, all of it can not be separated from the effort he is doing. And also from the promotion assistance and the injection of funds from me that I never stopped doing.

Actually Aldo did not know that every month I always injected funds for the development of his business, I kept everything from him for fear that later he would refuse.

Even I've been working with Luci, the employee he put in the finance department, Lusi really appreciates me because that's why he wants me to cooperate not to tell Aldo that every month I always inject funds for his business.

I'm happy that Aldo's efforts have grown so much in just a few months, but I also feel sad because he is always busy with his work.

He seems to have a hard time even just to have a casual conversation with me. I feel lonely.

Especially when I heard that Aldo today was going out of town for a few days, and for sure we would not be able to meet. When he was near me we rarely chatted, especially if he was far away from me like this.

"Aldo, I will miss you very much." I said in his office.

Aldo rubbed my head, then smiled. "We can talk on the phone, so don't be sad like this."

"Staying on the phone and talking in person is very different, and also I feel now you never have time for me."

"Come, Talia. You should be able to understand me, if I'm really busy. So you don't whine like a child like this." Said.

Then Aldo picked up his briefcase lying on the table. "Now that I'm leaving, you take good care of yourself here."

"Can I call you first, Aldo?"

"Now, don't you wait for me to call you first. I was scared when you called, I was in a position to work and see a client."

With a disappointed heart I forced myself to nod. "Smart girl." Gutting my head. "I'm leaving, yeah."

"Be careful, baby."

"Ready, thank you."

I drove him until he entered the car, and the car drove away. Aldo I will miss you so much, I will always wish you all the best.

For several hours I kept waiting for Aldo to call me first, but there was no sign that Aldo would call me.

I'm restless waiting, my heart doesn't feel good. It was so bad I called her first, but I remembered her message not to call her first.

Aldo, you want me to understand. But you yourself do not understand me. I just want a little bit of your time, but you can't even just make time for me.

I really miss the times when we were always together, I miss the times when you were always so attentive to me. I miss when you suddenly called me in the middle of the night just to tell me that you miss me.

I miss when you tease me and throw a word at me. I miss all that Aldo, so miss.

Now you're completely different, not as warm as you used to be when you talked to me. Is it because you are busy with your work? I also have the same busyness, but I can still make time for him.

It's not that I'm arrogant, the business of my business is much bigger than that. But I can still just spend some time with him. But why can't he.

I miss you so much, Aldo. Please return to my old Aldo, Aldo who loves me so much and Aldo who cares for me.

I was thinking that maybe at night like this Aldo was still working, he must be resting right now. So I just called him right away.

"Hello?" Aldo's voice is across there.

"Hello dear." I cried so happily, I could finally hear Aldo's voice.

"Talia, why are you calling me these nights?"

"I miss you so much, Aldo."

"Yes, you miss me, don't you?! But look at the clock, it's so late. You're interrupting my break time Talia."

"But, Aldo. From noon I kept waiting for you to call me, but you didn't call me even now. So I took the initiative to call you first."

I heard a snort across there. "From morning until noon I was busy working, where I called you. And now it's time for me to rest, Talia. I'm so tired of working, and you're interrupting my break."

What I'm calling is Aldo? Why is his tone talking so rudely to me? I don't like this Aldo, I want the old Aldo. Please give me back my old Aldo, I miss him so much.

I miss the old Aldo. Aldo who is so gentle and polite in speaking words, not Aldo whose tone is rude like this.

Please give me back my old Aldo. Aldo who loves me, Aldo who loves me, Aldo who is gentle when speaking to me, Aldo who cares for me, and Aldo who always understands me.

"Aldo, why are you speaking in such a harsh tone to me." My crying started to break.

"Hey, you're crying huh? Come on Talia you're an adult, why do you think it's like early childhood."

"I just want the old you, Aldo. You are considerate and understand me."

"Aaahhh, you really pissed me off Talia. I think my head will break when I talk to you. Your whining makes me sick." The impact then hung up the phone.

This is my Aldo, why is he being so rude to me? Even now he dared to yell at me. Aldo, what you have now blinds you so much that you forget that I am fighting in your journey of success.

I beg Aldo not to change, remain the old Aldo. Aldo is my kind and caring lover. Don't change Aldo, I beg you.

Even if I made a mistake that I didn't intentionally or didn't realize, please forgive me. Rebuke myself, so that I can correct my every mistake.

But do not be silent to me, do not be indifferent to me. I beg of you Aldo.

I looked at the dark night sky decorated with thousands of stars there. I remember the good times with Aldo first, while feeling the cool night breeze that swept my skin.

My smile expands. Ah, so wonderful our old days Aldo.
