Ex Beloved

Do you remember my name?

Tock....Tock....Toks......

"You open the door, baby.it's almost 8 in the morning!" mom screams from outside her room.

The sound of knocking on the door of the room made Anggun wake up from his sleep. Tiredness and chaotic thoughts take too long to bring him into the dream realm. With his eyes still closed he stretched out both hands stretching his muscles that felt stiff.

Slowly he opened his eyes, the glare of sunlight coming in from between the windows of his room made him realize, that today is not the morning . Yes, Anggun is too late.

" ha! Almost 8 o'clock ? How can I wake up??"

With a hurried movement Anggun entered the bathroom in the corner of his room. Usually not like this, there was no one to interrupt his time.

But today Anggun had to go to Erlangga's office to meet the new leader, to discuss further the cooperation they had just agreed.

It didn't take long, Anggun has joined the dining room . There was Farida and Fery. Graceful already with the usual style, if it used to be Graceful to wear Jeans and T-shirts.

So now Anggun is used to wearing a dress that wrapped his slender body, showing his legs. As a Designer who is quite well known to many people, Anggun must always maintain his appearance.

" Ma morning, Brother morning...Manda hunted so do not come to breakfast yes...!" said Anggun while taking a piece of bread from Fery's plate, seeing that Farida immediately gave him a glass of white milk . And Graceful spent it in one gulp.

" Why are you ? I'm just being chased by ghosts.."

" Not the ghost of the brother.but time , Manda forgot that today there is a promise with the client, Manda go first yes Ma......!"

Pamit Anggun while kissing her Mama, for Fery, they still know the limits, after all, they have no blood relation.

Now Anggun right wrong direction, wrong way, wrong time. Fear of being considered unprofessional and not respecting time. All wrong at this rush hour, Anggun instead stuck in traffic jams.

" Excellent, Graceful you are amazing...!" It's not a compliment, but a satire for yourself. He doesn't even care about the phone that keeps ringing. Hope to get to the destination quickly.

****

Almost an hour drive, arriving Anggun to the destination. This building is very towering, with a small run Anggun

go inside to the reception desk. Gracefully still trying to re-neutralize her breathing.

" My Ma'am Sa's Manda.." He said with his chest up and down.

" This ma'am who has made our new boss angry with you Mbak, how come it should not come Mbak came from 8 o'clock earlier yes....?"

" I'm sorry my mother was wrong!"

" Then, let me take her to her room!"

Gracefully resigned to follow the footsteps of this beautiful woman in front of her, a knee-length skirt

which bandages the thighs form

***** that looks perfect.

"Left....Rightist...Left...Right, it's appropriate for men to stay at home for a long time in the office, colleagues just like this..." Anggun's mind that has entered the elevator, heading upstairs.

Under these circumstances, he could still invite time to joke, he did not know there was a human-shaped Lion who was waiting for him.

Ting..

The sound of the elevator woke Anggun from his daydream, he had already returned to the real world. And stepping out, right in front of the elevator Anggun saw a man he knew as the Assistant of Mr. Erlangga.

"Manda Maam! why just came?"

" I'm sorry, sir I'm late."

"Yes, let me send the new leader room, Ma'am, "to invite him kindly.

Somehow Anggun felt the cold was so clear in this vast room, he saw a man in a black suit who was wrapped perfectly in the burly body of his owner.

"Miss Manda has come, sir," he said, and this man immediately left Manda, who was still standing in front of his boss' desk.

"Sorry to keep you waiting,"

"You've wasted my precious time,"

"I was wrong. Give me time I'll

Gracefully unable to continue his words, his mouth was tightly closed, the cold was felt all over his body, he suddenly became nervous, his heart was racing again. The man who had turned his back earlier, had already turned around and was looking at him sharply.

"Ariel?" the name that has become sacred to him is spoken perfectly, he said

it sounded obvious to the owner.

Ariel still did not budge from her position. His face looked flat, Graceful could not recognize any more the expression on Ariel's face.

Slowly Ariel got up, walked up to Anggun , who was still standing, in her place. Until Ariel stopped straight in front of Anggun. They look at each other.

Five years ago they last met in a position like this as well . It used to be Graceful to look at him with a feeling of compassion and pleading, but now Grace looked at him with disappointment.

"You remember my name...?" ariel asked right in front of Anggun, Ariel lowered her back a little so that she could freely see the pale face of Anggun.

"What are you doing here?"

"So..you don't remember me clearly yet huh? well I will introduce myself in front of you.My name is Ariel Erlangga.

I'm the owner of this company." Ariel smiled cynically before Anggun.

"Erlangga?? couldn't be...?" Graceful just remembered Ariel also bears that name.

Ariel sat on the edge of her workbench, folding her hands, she continued to stare Gracefully. Ariel noticed the graceful appearance that was clearly different from 5 years ago. Until Ariel's gaze stopped on the part of Graceful lips.

The lips that used to make Ariel opium, the lips that used to give first kiss to Ariel. There was a strange swish in his heart, Ariel kept staring at those lips.

"I'm gone" said Anggun resuscitating Ariel. Quickly Ariel held tightly to Anggun's arm, until Anggun turned around and looked up at her . This position brings them closer.

"Le-leaving "Angun is afraid to see Ariel's cold gaze. Not letting go but Ariel getting closer to her face with the face of Graceful, she kept staring at the thin lips of Graceful. Their lips almost touched. Gracefully tried to turn her face away, but Ariel held tightly to her chin. And looked back at him.

Ariel brought her face closer to that of Grace. " So which name should I say? The mandanda? or-or-the-or-the-or

"Manda.Call me Manda. Strangers used to call me Manda..!"

Anggun's reply surprised Ariel, She took off with a rough Graceful arm.

"Go!" ariel said but the sharp gaze was still clearly visible.

"Yes.I will indeed go Sir. And I want to cancel this partnership.."

"That's a good idea Miss Manda, be prepared I'll make a claim for you,"

"you mean? What demands..?"

"Didn't you read the file you signed yesterday? Should have researched first what it is, now come out!"

Anggun irritatedly leaving this room, he slammed the door.

blam....
