Sharing Love - A Cold Husband

CHAPTER 46 ~ Request ~

Today Zefran returned to visit Allena, although he always did it secretly but it was enough to make him happy. Seeing Allena from afar was enough to take off her miss. Zefran wanted Allena to immediately return to his arms but did not want to press him. Zefran was afraid that Allena would refuse and choose to stay away from him.

Get out of the car and then step into the building of a crowded fashion company and pass people in the fashion world. Zefran's striking appearance makes Zefran often mistaken for a catwalk model or magazine model.

A handsome face with a natural athletic posture since birth makes the man free to move freely looking for Allena in the building. Meet models and fashion designers and photographers have been used to doing.

This time, however, Zefran opened his car door. Because right in front of him Allena's car stopped but Valendino as the driver. It looks like Valendino handed the car keys into Allena's hands.

That alone had made the man's chest ache. Plus Valendino who pulled Allena's hand and immediately hugged her, while stroking his wife's hair.

Do you really like each other? Is there not a little love left for me Allena? inner Zefran as he lowered his head leaning on the wheel.

Zefran returns to the office, asking Patrick to cancel all scheduled meetings and confine himself in his room. The shadow of Allena in Valendino's embrace appeared before him. Zefran chose to close his eyes but the shadow was more and more clearly playing in his eyes.

Zefran decided to sleep in a long chair in his office.

This long chair bears witness to our love, no. not romance but coercion. I force you to serve me, I always force you, I always hurt you. While Valen, he always helps you. Valen always loved you, looked after you, defended you. I won't be able to defeat Valen, from the start I just always hurt you, inner Zefran.

Then sat on a chair and rubbed his face roughly. Pulling her hair with both hands. Zefran cried regretting the bad times with Allena. The man was crying. 

I always hurt you, I always make you cry. While he always took care of you, he loved you, he made you laugh, I.., I was wrong from the start, I had lost from the beginning, Zefran cried.

Crying, regretting himself. Back down on the long chair and cover his face with a sofa cushion.

Don't leave me Allena, I can't live without you, Zefran cried many times.

Recalling what he had done to Allena, from the time she got married until she left. Zefran regretted his sleep. Sleep is the thing he must do so as not to continue to sink into his sadness.

Zefran awakens when Patrick turns on the lights in the room. The man immediately sat down with a limp body.

"I brought you dinner, sir" said Patrick.

"What's? It's night?" zefran asked, turning to the large window in the room.

Zefran massaged his painful forehead.

"You haven't come home yet?" ask Zefran.

"We're overtime, the work team for the latest project has to add hours to the end of the month" Patrick said.

"I'm sorry, because I let you do it yourself" Zefran said regretfully.

"Don't think about it, we can do well. You value subordinates, then subordinates are willing to do anything for you, Mr" said Patrick.

"Have not called me that" Zefran said with a smile.

Patrick smiled back and suggested that Zefran take a bath first and change clothes. They also had dinner together.

"If you can't go to the Night Club first, your heart is upset. I'm sure you'll have another drink later" Patrick said.

"If anything happens to me, please apologize to my wife" he said, looking down.

"Which one?" ask Patrick with a laugh.

"Both, tell them I'm sorry that not being her husband was good for them" she said, erasing the rubble in her eyes.

Instantly the smile on Patrick's face disappeared, Zefran looked solemn with his words.

"Why say that? You gonna be okay? You can definitely get your happiness again, believe me," advises Patrick.

"I'm tired of Patrick, I think I got karma for what I did. I betrayed Frisca, I hurt Allena and now I lose both. I haven't seen Frisca in days and I've lost Allena in five years. I'm tired of Patrick, I'm so tired" Zefran said, looking down.

Spending her dinner then stood up to take off the suit she had just worn after taking a shower. Take the white shirt out from behind his pants and roll his long sleeves up to his elbows.

"What are you doing?" patrick asked in surprise to see Zefran's performance.

"It's okay, I just want to be free" Zefran replied.

Casual appearance without a black suit that became his trademark. Stepping out of the balcony and looking at the panorama of city lights that bewitch the eyes to feel at home looking at it.

"I just realized the scenery here is very beautiful" said Zefran.

Patrick came over and stood beside him.

"How high is this building?" ask Zefran.

"What do you mean ask that?" ask Patrick with a worried look.

Zefran laughs.

"Just relax, I'm not going to jump from here" he said, smiling.

"Two hundred and forty meters" replied Patrick.

Zefran smiles.

"I was stupid, had all this but never enjoyed it" Zefran said.

"Sometimes we don't realize what we have is worth it. While other people want it so much we just ignore it" Patrick said.

Zefran stared straight at the scene before him. Patrick reminds me of himself with his two wives. Take care of one, ignore the other. Trusting one, suspecting the other. Zefran felt that his life had been destroyed and could not be repaired.

"I've lost everything Patrick. Loving Allena, I lost Frisca. Trusting Frisca, I lost Allena. I am a man who cannot love. Loving one person cannot love two people at once. When the love came, I wanted to have both but I lost both" Zefran said.

"I've never seen a man who could love like you love your two wives. Until now I still have not found love, while others easily change love. Only you, I think you are the only one who is always steadfast in your love. Once in love you will always love. It's just that to prove your love, you have to take a test and you lose" Patrick said.

Zefran laughed, the longer his laughter grew louder but after that his laughter turned mixed with tears. 

"It's over now" said Zefran.

"It's not over," replied Patrick.

The man looked at the desperate Zefran and continued his words.

"As long as there's love in your heart, it's not over. You can still chase after him, you can still grab him again. Why worry about Valen? Do you have a lot of other guys who like Allena? You focus too much on him because he's your best friend. You don't want to be defeated by your own best friend until you finally ignore other men. If you can ignore Valen like you ignore other men then you won't get hurt. Therefore do not despair, if there is no love in your heart, it's just the name ends," said Patrick.

"Can I still?" ask Zefran.

"Why not? You are healthy, handsome, rich, you have everything and moreover you have a great love beyond the size of this building," said Patrick as he spread out his hands.

Zefran laughs.

"You're over-comforting me, like you're comforting a child," Zefran said, still laughing.

"I'm not overdoing it, I'm serious. I'm sure your love is bigger than this building. You prefer love to this building" replied Patrick.

"Why are you so sure?" ask Zefran.

"Not only can you let go of this building, you can also let go of this world. Your world that many people crave, you are willing to leave. Is such a love not a great love?" ask Patrick.

Zefran was stunned, Patrick guessed his way of thinking. Zefran felt tired, to the point of ending his life even though he avoided admitting it.

"Don't do it for the people you love. They will live in regret for the rest of their lives, will you make them regret for a lifetime?" ask Patrick.

No, I don't want Allena to live in regret. I want Allena to be happy, I am willing, I have to be willing as long as she is happy even if not with me, Zefran said.

"I wouldn't do that Patrick. I'm not going to make the people I love feel sorry" Zefran said.

"You sure?" ask Patrick.

"Then can I leave you now? I have to see the team working overtime" Patrick continued.

"Oh yes sorry. I've stopped the officers' pace" Zefran laughed.

"Hey, what they're doing right now is meaningless if you're not around. Your existence means a lot, everything they're doing right now is for you" Patrick said, showing Zefran is more important than a team working overtime.

Patrick patted Zefran's arm and walked away. The man uttered all to arouse Zefran's spirit. Do not let Zefran despair and end his life.

Although when he stepped away there was a sense of doubt in his heart to leave Zefran alone. But Patrick wanted to believe in his best friend. Zefran is stronger and stronger than ever.

And now Zefran's headed for the elevator and into the Night Club to meet Altop, Ronald and Valendino. Zefran is stronger than ever. Just silently staring at Valendino who just hugged his wife this afternoon.

"You are forbidden to drink!" altop told Zefran and Valendino.

Zefran smiled, Altop and Ronald were astonished to see Zefran's calm response. Meanwhile, Valendino was worried about wanting to tell a story about Zefano or not. The man looked even more restless than Zefran.

Zefran looked so calm without a sharp look at him, making Valendino hesitant to speak. Leaving Zefano aside, the child who made Zefran part with Allena would probably make the man become annoyed.

Zefran's attitude has returned as usual, they enjoy the night by talking as if nothing had ever happened. Seeing that Altop and Ronald prefer to talk about the past. The nostalgia made them laugh, they hoped that Zefran and Valendino had solved their problems.

Zefran decides to reach for Allena's love without blaming Valendino or forcing Allena. The man wants to fight for Allena's love by assuming Valendino is someone else who also happens to like Allena.

~ Why are you so worried about Valen? Do you have a lot of other guys who like Allena? ~

Patrick's words made Zefran's heart feel a little airy.

I can't focus so much on him that it breaks my own heart, Zefran's mind as he looks at Valendino.

Zefran poured drinks for his best friend. Altop and Ronald were astonished so was Valendino. Even so, Valendino grabbed the drink that Zefran poured and drank it. Altop and Ronald who had been tense immediately laughed.

I don't care what Allena did with him. Now I just want to start all over and try to have Allena completely, inner Zefran.

Just thinking like that suddenly a group of people came to their table.

"The coward Prince Dimitrios has come out of his cage" said Bobby and made those around him laugh.

Zefran turned his head to the man then turned to look at Altop.

"When you're not here he comes looking for you" Altop explained.

Zefran did not know and no one told him. When choosing a hangover at home it turns out Bobby looked for it several times.

"Why not tell me? Didn't I ever tell you that she came tell me?" ask Zefran.

"You're sad that you parted with Allena. Where can I add to your problems" replied Altop.

Zefran is upset but ends up standing face to face with Bobby. Altop, Ronald and Valendino were standing.

"I'm not a coward, I'm here now and what do you want?" challenge Zefran.

"I want you to divorce Frisca" Bobby said.

Altop advanced and stood beside Zefran.

"It's crazy this guy, it's good to get people divorced" Altop said.

Unconcerned by Altop's words, Bobby continued.

"From the beginning Frisca was mine, I was the first to fuck her. You're just a stopover for him when we're in trouble. Frisca will never be able to forget the first man of her life" Bobby continued.

"I don't care about Frisca's past, what matters now is that she's mine. She is my legal wife and we still love each other" Zefran replied.

Bobby laughs.

"Love each other? Don't you think the baby he contains is also your child, dreamer," said Bobby then laughed again.

"What did you say?,"

"Don't dream too long, so wake up. You think he's been sleeping next to you all this time? He was always with me, the baby he was carrying was my son from our romance" Bobby said, showing a videotape of their romance.

The altop who was taking a look was surprised. Zefran could not help his emotions immediately sent a blow to Bobby's face. Bobby's friends went straight ahead.

"Hey, bule kere don't interfere," shouted Ronald to friends of Bobby who was a campus delinquent who was dropped out when they were studying at Stanford University.

Bobby lapsed, Zefran told the man to get up. Altop, Ronald and Valendino immediately escort Bobby's friends who try to help.

A duel between Zefran and Bobby ensues. Altop doesn't care about the stuff in Night Club falling apart. They chase each other, retaliate, hit, kick. Until not only broken lips or bruised cheeks. But the head also leaked. 

"Until when is this left?" ronald panicked.

"Of course, Zefran must be angry if we stop" replied Altop.

And indeed Zefran will be angry if stopped because at this time his emotions have reached the top of his head. Watching his wife grapple with a man he has hated for a long time. And right now Zefran has the upper hand. The man beat Bobby so he couldn't get back.

Bobby's friends who tried to help directly blocked Altop and friends. Zefran continued to beat up the man who couldn't fight it.

"SUFFICIENT ZEFRAN! YOU CAN KILL HIM" Valendino snapped.

Zefran stopped and faced Valendino.

"I DO WANT TO KILL HIM, I ALSO WANT TO KILL YOU," Zefran snapped no less loudly.

Behind Zefran, Bobby wakes up staggered then pats Zefran on the shoulder. The man turned around, Bobby directly stuck a broken bottle of drink into Zefran's stomach and then plucked and threw the bottle away.

Zefran stared at the fresh blood gushing down his white shirt. In an instant Zefran's work clothes had been dominated in red. Zefran staggered back, falling flat on his back staring at the high Night Club ceiling. His hands were filled with blood flowing from his left abdomen.

His friends immediately ran over.

"LACK OF TEACHING, GUARDS CATCH THEM," Altop orders the Night Club guards to see Bobby and his comrades running after stabbing Zefran.

Ronald called the ambulance.

"Can't, we take it now don't wait for an ambulance" Valendino said, lifting Zefran's body.

In the elevator Valendino put Zefran on his lap. Zefran with a face full of wounds was staring at Valendino. The man laughed while grimacing in pain.

"At last you are the winner" said Zefran laughing but his tears flowed beside his eyes.

"What do you mean?" asked Valendino who was also glazed over.

"Please take care of Allena, love her.., wholeheartedly..," said Zefran stammered.

Valendino shook his head.

"I didn't expect.., would.., say something like this.., to you," said Zefran again laughing.

"NO, YOU DO IT YOURSELF. Allena doesn't want me to take care of her, she doesn't want my love. You did it yourself for her," Valendino snapped unable to hold back her slowly flowing tears.

Altop and Ronald sat around, staring at Zefran while wiping away the tears.

"I.., would.., but I can't. You., who always defended him.., from the beginning.., we know him.., you., who deserve.., look after him," said Zefran smiling and drooping closed his eyes.

The three friends of Zefran shouted his name. The elevator from the fifty-ninth floor felt it was moving down so slowly. They could do nothing in the small room that usually led them to gather and have fun together.
