Decisions

***

As usual, this morning Ana was awake and busy with all her activities in this house. The girl seemed to know no fatigue. Everything he does. It is only fitting that my father loved her like his own daughter.

On Sundays, I usually wake up later. I don't know why today is different. I want to run in the morning even if it's just around the housing. I feel like I haven't done it in a long time. My body hurts all because of lack of exercise. The pleasantries of Ana who was cleaning the pond in the front yard. I want to take her out for a morning run with me. But of course he was flatly rejected. That girl was like an allergy when she was around me. Maybe because all this time I've been telling him this was as he pleased. Habits from childhood that are difficult to change. It was also wrong of her own why Ana always complied, only a few times she denied my words. I'm sure deep down he must have wanted to leave my family. Then if Ana leaves who I'm going to tell . Although there were still many other helpers, it would have been different if it wasn't Ana, the flat expression.

The fog still covered the streets this morning. The cold is piercing to the bone. I continued to run small, while enjoying the music that was attached through the headset connection in my ear. Sweat started flooding into my body. It's a long way from home. I'm starting to feel tired. And I forgot to bring mineral water. Lucky there's still money left in my sports. Enough to buy water in the front minimarket.

I lined up in front of the cashier to pay. Although it is still quite early in the morning but the minimarket is quite crowded by people. When I saw the television screen behind the cashier, the news about Michaela and her fiance was getting friendly. They are both a good couple. Michaela is a top model while her future husband is a young billionaire. I smiled wryly, trying to remove the pain in the chest. I sipped a bottle of cold drink to make my throat feel frozen. Like my heart right now.

I walk slowly down the street. No more passion for exercise. I should have let the thirst wreak more than I had to see the news of Michaela making my spirit disappear. No matter how hard I tried to forget the beautiful girl but still the memories of her were not easy to erase. How about me and Michaela for a long time even without a bond. We used to spend time together. Michaela is still pioneering in the modeling world. A lot of people say he just wants to use me. Because I'm the son of a rich man who has a lot of money. But I never ignored everything people said. For me as long as I feel comfortable with someone even if I have to give all parts of my inheritance is okay, I am willing. Everything is going fine, my relationship with Mikaela is getting more and more romantic. I always have to make money for him. All the needs of all I bear. Things get complicated when dad finds out about our relationship. My credit card bill jumped beyond what it should have been. Of course I was targeted by that stingy old man. And I don't know what he said to Mikaela to make that girl fly away from me. Our relationship is both starting to break. I don't have enough courage to fight for it. Afraid of being crossed off the inheritance list by my father. Yes, I am a coward. Even now I'm still afraid if I don't get money from my father. What a loser !!

I threw a bottle of mineral water that was still half that to vent my frustration. But who would have thought the bottle was about a dog that barked hard to make my hair stand up. And sure enough, that crazy dog kept barking at me. As if to pounce on me. The frightened me ran to save myself. But the dog was chasing me while not stopping barking. Damn, the dog's getting closer. His fat body did not make his run slowly but quite the opposite. I kept running no matter the strange looks of the people.

" Braaakkk..!!"

My body was blown away when a car accidentally hit me. Slightly in pain, I tried to get up before the dog bit me fiercely.

" Are you okay ?" ask someone from the car. A woman with glasses. His voice was familiar to my ears.

" Michaela ?" I was surprised to see that the woman in the car was the same woman who made my mood this morning bad.

" Amero's ? Are you okay ?" Michaela looked as surprised as I was.

" Quick get in the car !!" his orders that see me are still dumb.

***

The atmosphere was a little stiff when I had to be in the same car as Michaela. For a moment we were silent to each other, although occasionally caught in the act of stealing a glance.

" How are you doing ?" michela asked, breaking the silence, as she continued to drive her car slowly.

" good. What about you ?" I answered soberly, covering up the nervousness in the chest.

" As you can see, I'm doing very well" Michaela smiled sweetly revealing her row of white teeth.

" Of course. The bride-to-be should have been happy "I looked straight ahead, on the path that was beginning to be brightened by the fog.

" Are you still mad at me ? Why don't you want to return a message or pick up the phone from me ?"

" It would be very good for us if it was no longer related. I don't want it until your future husband finds out and you get in trouble for it "

" He'll never know, so stop worrying about me !!" Michaela smiled at me.

" It's good if it's like that" I said flatly.

" What if we buy breakfast, chicken porridge like we always do when we finish exercising ? " this time Michaela laughed even wider. It was as if it did not care about the wounds it had etched into my heart.

" I'm sorry I can't. Can you put me down in front ?"

" Then what do you want me to do ? Act as if nothing happened while the reality is now that you're another man's fiancee ? Hah.." I deliberately hardened the volume of my voice even though I don't usually talk rudely to Michaela all this time.

" At least don't avoid me !! I want us to stay as we used to be, even if later I have become someone's wife, stay with me !! Don't go avoiding me or love another woman !! Stay Ameroku !!" michaela's eyes glazed over, making me want to hug her. But soon I patted that taste.

" Don't be selfish, just think about how I feel !!" I opened the door, got out of the car before being weakened by Michaela's tears.

" You know I did all this because of your father ? Because he never liked me ?" michaela lirih.

I kept walking away from Michaela even though the girl kept shouting blame on my father.

In the garden full of green grass, Amera broke her body. Adjusting his breath up and down, while occasionally wiping the sweat that flooded him. Besides, Bian did the same thing. Both of them smiled crisply after tired of racing run. Enjoy the remaining fatigue.

" Aren't you afraid that someone from your father would see us together like this ?"

Amera shook her head slowly hearing Bian's question.

" Even so next time choose a place to meet that is a little bit away from your home. I don't want you to get in trouble because of me !!"

Amera laughed again, sipping a bottle of mineral water that Bian had given her.

" Yes I know. Next time I'll pick a place that's very jauuuh so we can meet "Amera laugh mocking. While Bian just sighed looking at Amera's laughter.

" What about your movie ? When will it release ?" Amera woke up from her fall.

" I don't know, if there is no obstacle maybe 2 months away "Bian bowed lethargic.

" Why ? Is there a problem ? " ask Amera worried.

" Just a little trouble, don't worry !!" Bian smiled gently rubbing Amera's hair.

" What ? Tell me !! Are you short of money again ?"

Bian just nodded slowly answering Amera's question.

" Don't worry, I'll give you money "Amera holds Bian's hand.

" No need. You've helped me enough. If your father finds out this won't be good for our future relationship. Besides, I don't want anyone to think I'm just using you for your personal interests. So stop giving me money. I can definitely resolve all this myself "Bian smiled weakly.

" Don't talk like that. My money is your money too. Later I will inherit 30% of my family's company shares. So stop worrying about money and let me help you !!" amera assured.

" Well if that's what you want. Later if my money is successful I will definitely return all the money you have spent for me many times over "Bian smiled holding tightly Amera fingers.

" It's not necessary. Just stay by my side, that's more than anything to me !!" Amera rests her head on Bian's shoulder. Enjoying the morning sun that lingered through the thick fog this morning.

Without the two of them noticing, I had been listening to both of them since. Amera is too innocent to realize that Bian will only use her. Even if I warned him repeatedly. I had to figure out a way to keep the unknown artist away before Amera fell into its trap.
