ETERNAL LOVE'S

Twenty-eight

"How are you, Tha?"

The raucous voice belonged to a man whom he had so longed for these few days.

"As you can see." Retha cast her gaze in any direction, she did not want to see Kalan for now. His heart would again ache when he saw the dark eyes of the man. The eyes that always make her fall in love again and again. The eyes that once always looked at him were full of cravings.

A few days after their last meeting in the hospital, Retha and Kalan never meet again. The man disappeared, but Retha still hopes that Kalan will regret and change his decision to continue their relationship. But as soon as the man reappears before her, it seems like the intention to mend their relationship is not there at all, and Retha is just waiting for something very impossible as well as empty expectations.

Why does it feel so painful.

Even though last night, Retha could not hide her happiness when Kalan suddenly contacted her via phone line. Kalan said he wanted to see her and talk to her directly. With a flowery heart Retha welcomes with pleasure.

And as it turns out, Retha is very sorry because she is too confident, she thinks that if Kalan will apologize and say something that can make her heart warm again and can make her smile again.

But after hearing the debate with the Mama, then Retha realized, if it turns out Kalan met him not to ask him to return to be a lover and continue their engagement. Instead, the man came to see her only to get her heart hurt again.

Only the first time Retha saw the anger of Kalan so scary, he himself could not believe that Kalan would be so angry with Mama. Though as far as Retha knows, Kalan is so appreciative of his mother. Never once did he see Kalan's inappropriate attitude like that. Kalan is a kind man, gentle and caring.

But now seeing his anger at Mama, Kalan was like he wasn't the Kalan he knew. The man changed just to defend another woman. The woman who used to be desperate always ignored.

"I'm sorry, Tha. It's not my intention to be disrespectful to Aunt Desi ..."

"Why Kalan? why are you being so rude to Mama?" cut Retha with a heavy breath and reddened eyes holding back the crying. "You're not the Kalan I know. The kalan I know isn't as evil as you."

"Yes ..you are right, but I can't let your Mama hurt the Girl."

"Oh ..." Retha shook her head, rubbing the clear water that suddenly dripped past her cheek violently. "So because of the girl. Because your girl is like this?"

"But your own Mama's deed has gone too far on Girl, Tha.!"

Not because of the girl who knew Kalan, but Bima, the man who was instructed directly by Kalan to find out what really happened. And sure enough, once Kalan saw the contents of the cctv tape that Bima showed him, he was very angry.

Superfluity.

Not because of the harsh words that Kalan is concerned about here, but there are other parts that make the man not accept when the Girl is treated like that. Kalan could not accept if until there was someone else who hurt the girl, especially if until that person dared to slap the girl who was now so very valuable in his heart.

He was the one who always hurt girls.

"I'm sorry, Tha. Sorry ..." It was then that made Retha nod her head.

If not for Retha, then Kalan might not be able to control his emotions. He was too angry, even Kalan did not care when he got the curse from Desi. So many harsh words came out of the middle-aged woman's mouth for her. He did not criticize, but when the curse was returned to the reference for the Girl, Kalan did not accept.

"How valuable is a girl to you now?" Retha asked with a shrill voice. "Is there no chance for me to come back with you?"

Kalan who heard could only be silent, he knew what Retha was feeling at the moment. However Retha was once a part of her heart, she was once the only woman who could make Kalan fall in love, therefore, Kalan did not want to see the woman cry.

"Did all our memories mean nothing to you?" Retha squeezed the upholstered cloth that covered her thigh with a strong squeeze. "Is that love no longer there for me?"

"City ..."

"I thought you came here to apologize and want to repair our relationship again." He rubbed the water roughly. "I guess you'll regret having cancelled our engagement plans that are just a few days away. I thought you would kneel before me while carrying a ring, then ask me to be your wife?"

Retha laughs miris,

Really, he was too stupid to expect too much.

"I'm sorry, Tha." Kalan is unable to see Retha hurt, but .. he also does not want to lie to his own feelings, if it turns out that love is no longer there for Retha.

"You son of a bitch."

"You're bad, Kalan.!"

"Yes, I know that." Kalan looked down. "I deserve to be blamed here. I'm sorry I hurt you, Tha."

"I don't need an apology from you, I just want you to love me again, Kalan." Look at how broken Rethas heart is right now. In addition to losing his love Kalan, he will also lose the only man who has always been a protector for him. Retha had placed great hopes on the man. But in an instant, Kalan was the one who had destroyed everything.

Destroying all his feelings.

After Retha vented all her frustration, her anger, her disappointment, then Kalan could calm her down. He grabbed that slender body into his arms. Lucky Retha did not refuse him, the girl instead drowned her face into the chest of Kalan's field while crying bitterly.

"Sorry, Tha." He muttered softly while stroking the hair in a gentle motion. "You're a good and beautiful woman, you deserve a man who's so much better than me."

Though reluctant, perhaps this was the last time Retha could embrace the man's body. There is no longer any hope for him, his chance to re-maintain his relationship was no longer able to.

And it seemed, giving up was something he had to do now.

And in the end, he was the one who lost.

"Good morning, Mom."

"Morning, Risa."

The girl replied while giving a big smile to her secretary. Early in the morning the girl had left for her office to finish some work that had been delayed the last few days. There are so many who disturb his mind lately, in addition to Bian who is still receiving treatment from the hospital, he also has to face some of his clients who had doubted Girl because they were consumed by unpleasant issues about him.

He was tired, he wanted to give up. But, it wasn't a girl by her name that she would just give up.

No, girls are not weak women who are easy to give up. Whatever happens, he must stay strong and face everything with a calm heart. Just like now, Girl tries to stay calm and can control herself when there is someone who sends some messages through her personal number.

"Show ..." The girl turned her head towards Risa who was standing next to her now. "Who sent this many flowers?" Ask the girl still can't believe it.

"Not yet to know, Mom. Early this morning before Mom came, there were some couriers delivering the flowers."

The girl looked at Risa with a frowning forehead. "This much?"

"Yes, Mom." Risa scowls. "The courier said it was all for Mom, so I told him to put it in the room, Ma'am girl."

Still unable to believe what she was seeing now, the girl walked towards where the flowers were placed. He took one of his favorite bouquets of white roses, not forgetting a small paper tucked in the middle of the flower. The girl took the paper and read it.

"Inadvertently when I want to walk to the office, I see all your favorite flowers. The flowers are so pretty, just like you."

Kalans.

The girl was shocked again with her jaw back wide open, "Kalan ..." Mumbled slowly. "So ...?"

"So this is all a shipment from Sir, Kalan.?" Risa asked exclaiming. "Oh my goodness ... It's really sweet, Mom." He said again while covering his mouth with a palm.

The girl could only sigh softly when she saw the expression that her secretary showed. Not only Risa who does not believe, she herself still does not believe that Kalan will send this many flowers for her.

This much flower, what for?

At the time when Girl and Risa were still standing while staring at the flowers in front of her, at that moment she was again shocked by the ringing sound of her cellphone lit up. The girl gasped, she hastily reached into the cell phone from inside her bag.

And Kalan,

It turned out that the man was contacting her now.

"Hcst ..."

"Why did you send me so many flowers?" Kalan had not had time to continue his words, The girl had already ambushed him with a question that made Kalan slightly keep his phone away from the ear.

"It turns out your voice never changes huh?" Instead of answering, Kalan just like being teased. "But I'm horrified."

"Navy ..." The girl snarled furiously across there. "I'm serious."

"I'm serious too." Answer Kalan casually. "Where do you like those flowers?"

The girl circled her gaze to every corner of her study room that now looked like that flower garden. "Why don't you send the seller here.?" The girl's lips returned which made Kalan giggle amused.

"When you want, I'll buy the same shop as the seller for you."

"Gn ..." Girl hissing. "Why try, you send me this many flowers.?"

"I'll send you more if you want."

"Make what? why so many.?" The girl bit her lips while waiting for the answer from the man.

"Because I love you too much." Kalan replied that made the Girl's Heart suddenly flutter irregularly. If only the man were in front of him now, perhaps he would have seen the face of the girl blushing.

"From now on, every day I'll always send flowers to you."

"Don't ...!"

"I didn't ask for your consent. Think of it as my struggle to get back to your love."

"Kalan, you ___" The girl's voice choked, when the man suddenly said something that made his chest back pounding.

"I love you. It's fine there, baby ..." Kalan then closed the call before the girl replied.

And girl, he was gawking in disbelief when Kalan just closed his call.

The darling?

Oh my goodness ... Kalan called him dear.
