"Irene, Gisel has fooled me and you. Suddenly he appeared in front of me crying. I don't even know who he is."
"Already Tian. I've forgotten all that." Irene took a breath.
"Then from that, let's start from the beginning of Irene." Bastian took Irene's hands. Irene wishes to be destroyed.
"Sorry Tian, for now I just want to work well. Please don't bother me." Irene pulled her hand.
The guides who were quite far away from them really could not stand it anymore, let alone Bastian holding Irene's hand. He actually did not hear their conversation, but according to Pandu they were talking about romance. He came home immediately when an artist sang a romantic song, even though the show was not finished. Previously he had asked permission to go home first to the hotel owner if he had important and sudden business. Of course it was a lie.
"How could Bastian say love over and over again to her? Is that not excessive? It's a shame."
The driver speaks for himself in the back of the car. While the driver was surprised to hear Pandu's chatter and glanced from the rearview mirror while starting to drive forward the car.
"Adrians."
"Yes sir." Adrian is the trust driver of Mr. Pandu. He was still young, even younger than master Pandu.
"How is your relationship with your wife?"
Hah, since when is the young master interested in my personal life? They are not interested in discussing the personal lives of others.
"Our relationship is fine sir." Adrian and his wife just got married a few months ago.
"Did you always declare love to your wife?"
What kind of question is this? Haha, isn't it a shame that I answer every breath I always want to express love to my wife. Adrian smiled at his thoughts.
"Not always sir. When it's needed." Adrian chose to answer like that just so as not to sound excessive.
"Is expressing love necessary?"
"Of course it is very necessary sir. In addition to making our hearts content and happy, expressing love is like encouraging life to a partner." This time Adrian answered without thinking.
"You seem to understand the true meaning of love." Mr. Pandu stared fixedly at Adrian's face from the rearview mirror.
"Not really, sir. I'm just saying what I feel."
"Then what if only one side loves?" Mr. Pandu still continues to launch his question.
"I think if it is like that, someone who loves must try harder to get the person he loves. And if he has tried as much as possible and the person he loves does not return his love as well, it is better for him to retreat master. Love is not compulsion. He's gonna hurt himself and his loved ones." I'm like a love motivator.
Does lord Pandu love someone and his love is not reciprocated? If he is, how dare that woman reject this perfect Pandu master. Adrian.
Maybe he'd prefer Felix over Bastian. Surely he already knew Felix's company existed in many countries. Matre once.
All women are the same. Loving someone saw his treasure first. Pandu concluded himself in the heart.
Actually in her deepest heart she was not willing to be approached by another man. But he shut the truth tight. He's an arrogant man. With his heart he was not honest.
"Adrians." Pandu let out his voice again after a while they fell silent with their respective thoughts.
"Yes sir."
"Did your wife ever ask you to have more money? Or what it's about the economy."
"No sir. We never had a money problem. We are very happy with what we have now. My salary has been very large even my wife can save from the rest of her monthly spending money."
"really? Is there such a woman?"
"certainly sir. My wife is not a materialistic woman. He was always grateful for the salary I gave him."
I think Adrian is just like Felix. Blinded by love. It was a pity that the two of them could not judge a woman properly. Pandu remained adamant with his opinion of women.
While at the hotel.
He sent a message.
Sir, where are you?
I've been home.
Whahuh? He came home and didn't tell me. This polar master base.
Irene left.
"Irene, where are you going?"
"I want to go home." Irene continued walking without turning her face away.
Bastian followed from behind.
"Irene let me take you home."
"No, thank you." Irene took a taxi parked near the hotel.
Irene, I was a fool to let you go when you started opening your heart to me. That damn woman always had a way to keep me away from you. You must believe that my love is sincere. This time I have to win your heart at all costs.
In the taxi.
Sorry Tian, I don't have any more feelings for you right now. I can't open my heart to you anymore. The more you try to get close to me, the more I remember how broken my heart used to be.
Irene enjoyed the trip. He turned his face to the right and to the left looking at the state of the city at night while reminiscing about his past in London.
Flashbacks
Irene and Bastian attended one of the world's most famous universities in London. They are also one faculty, faculty of business and management. They accidentally met under a tree in the university garden. From that meeting they got closer.
"Irene, I can be closer to you." Bastian explained after they spent time studying together for several weeks starting from their first unintentional meeting.
Irene just nodded timidly and it made Bastian even more excited.
"Irene, I like you." Bastian looked into Irene's eyes. "You don't have to repay my joy now. I want you to open your heart for me first. I don't want any coercion between us." Bastian said as he stroked Irene's hair.
Irene was like she was in the clouds. For the first time there was a man touching his heart gently like that. Irene could not say anything. Irene could only smile and stare at the honesty in Bastian's eyes.
"If you have the answer, tell me." Bastian smiles.
"Eh I have to go. There's a lecture any minute. I'm first yeah. Don't forget to give me the answer." Bastian left while waving his hand.
Once again Irene could only smile speechlessly.
Today after a few days of Bastian's likes, Irene will give him an answer. He's got the answer.
"Hi, I know my name is Gisel. You're Irene right?!
I'm just here to tell you that I'm Bastian's future wife. Bastian's been approaching you just to make me jealous. Yeah, you know we had a fuss. You don't take all of his words seriously." Suddenly the beautiful girl, a tall body as beautiful as ever approached Irene and sniped at her will.
"What?" Irene couldn't believe it and almost cried hearing all of it.
"Yes right. That's how Bastian is when he's mad at me. He'll be looking for an impingement. Uh that's Bastian. I went there first, bye...."
And it's true. Irene saw Bastian and Gisel holding hands. Irene also often found them alone. "So I was considered by him to be just an impingement."
It could not be expressed in words how devastated Irene felt back then.
Since Gisel's confession, Irene no longer wants to meet Bastian. He desperately avoided Bastian. All he thought about at that time was just studying and studying so that he quickly got his S2 degree and went home.
