Axel opened the door to his apartment.
He smiled when he saw Vallie coming.
"Sit.
I'll make you coffee."
Vallie smile.
Axel knew him well.
"When did you come Vallie?"
"Yesterday Brother."
"Don't you say you're busy?
Then why did you come to America?"
"I miss you, brother.
So I came here just to meet you."
Axel just smiled thinly.
It's only natural that Vallie misses him.
Lately they also rarely communicate because they are busy working.
They then stood on the balcony enjoying the coffee in their hands.
Axel smiled as he recalled the moment in Skagit Valley.
He recalled the time he and Aluna had coffee together.
Vallie looked towards Axel.
The man looks very different today.
Smiles always adorn Axel's face.
"It seems like Brother's mood is very good.
My sister looks very different than usual.
What happened Brother?
Big brother should tell me what kind of good news can make Big Brother smile like this."
"There's no good news whatsoever Vallie."
"So?"
"If a man smiles for no reason, what do you think happens to him?"
"Fell in love?"
Vallie reflexively says what's on her mind.
Axel smiled again.
"You'll experience it when you fall in love with someone Vallie."
Vallie's smile slowly faded
That was because of Axel's statement just now.
The man she loved loved loved another girl.
"Really Brother?
Who's the girl?"
Vallie tried to accept that.
His heart is so sick, but seeing Axel happy, he will be happy too.
Axel's happiness was paramount to him.
"You'll find out later Vallie."
Axel then went inside with a big smile.
Vallie stared at Axel's departure.
He slowly shed his tears.
Her chest feels tight.
He didn't expect it to happen like this.
He had thought that as time went on, Axel would love him.
But reality is very inversely proportional.
Now the man has found his girlfriend.
--
The next day, Axel goes to Aluna's office.
He came early in the morning, so that he could meet Aluna.
Ariana was surprised to see Axel coming.
"You?
What are you doing here?"
"Where's Aluna?
Shouldn't he be here at this hour?"
Axel circulated his gaze throughout the room looking for Aluna.
"The moon will never come to the office again."
"What do you mean?"
"His husband forbade him from coming to the office.
And we can be sure, from today Aluna has stopped working."
"You lied!"
"I'm not lying.
You can ask all the employees here.
And I'll replace Aluna to handle the company.
From now on, you're working with me.
If there's anything, you should call me.
Not Aluna."
Ariana pressed her sentence.
Axel ruffled waist.
Then he took a deep breath.
I think he is really angry at the moment.
That means from now on he will not be able to meet with Aluna.
In the car, Axel tries to contact Aluna many times.
But the girl did not answer her call.
He started sending messages to Aluna.
(What's the reason you stopped working?
Do you intend to stay away from me in that way?)
Axel is waiting for a reply from Aluna.
His eyes did not stop staring at the phone screen.
A few minutes later, the girl did not return the message.
(I beg you not to be like this.
At least get a message from me Aluna.)
Aluna stared at her phone screen.
Axel sent him a message.
But he did not want to reply to that message.
It feels like this is better.
He doesn't need to be in touch with Axel anymore.
Russell knew about Axel.
The man also had a suspicion on her.
He was afraid Russell would hurt Axel again.
Although maybe his heart told him to answer Axel's call and reply to his message.
He also did not really want it to be like this.
It felt like it would be difficult for him not to meet with Axel anymore.
He will miss that man very much.
Axel rubbed his face violently.
Aluna did not answer the message.
His heart was about to meet Aluna.
He misses that girl so much.
Axel clenched his hands tightly.
This time he will not give up.
He will find a way to meet Aluna.
