The Enchantment of the Former

The Enchantment of the Former
Love or Obsession ?



Shazna followed Fattan's footsteps, which led her into the house. Shazna's eyes returned to the scene that left her dumbfounded. The interior color of the house is mostly his favorite color.


'' I didn't think you were this crazy, said Shazna, who looked around the room with a slanted smile on her lips. Fattan chuckles, gets a sneer from the ex.


'' Yes, I am crazy about you, said Fattan with a smile. Shazna thumped her lips while shaking her head slowly. The woman walked down the living room to the middle room. It was really made with the head bobbles with everything in the house.


" Bi!," call Fattan an invisible household assistant from the living room.


" Yes Mas" said the middle-aged woman who walked in a hurry to approach the employer.


" Please make a bi drink, there are guests" said Fattan as he looked at Shazna who was looking at a painting of a natural landscape hanging on the wall.


'' You know, this is non Shazna right Mas ?,'' asked the woman named Bi Rumi. Shazna, who heard his name, turned to a woman he did not know. Shazna looked wince.


'' How come Auntie knows my name, it feels like I just met my aunt for the first time?, asked Shazna confused. The middle-aged woman smiled broadly as she approached the familiar woman in Rumi's eyes. Bi Rumi reached out to Shazna who was standing around with a question mark on her mind.


'' Introduce non, I'm bi Rumi. I've been working with the doctor for two years. It turns out that the prospective wife of the doctor is more beautiful than the original photo, said Bi Rumi increasingly make Shazna who was welcoming Bi Rumi's hand increasingly frowned.


'' Wife-to-be ?,'' asked Shazna with a twitch on her forehead that deepened. Fattan who saw the confusion on Shazna's face approached the two women.


'' The question in the photo was long ago bi, now please make Auntie drink first for Shazna, ''' Fattan said subtly to Bi Rumi. Bi Rumi nodded and hurried away from the living room.


Shazna stared intently at the man who was now standing before her with a faint smile.


'' You really are not sane yes, people can nganggep your future wife. Continue to photograph what does it mean?, Shazna explained with a fixed gaze on Fattan who was now standing no more than half a meter from himself who was standing leaning on the back of the sofa.


'' Because winning you are the prospective hostess in this house, until whenever there is only you Shaz. Nothing will change, said Fattan, who is now walking closer to Shazna.


'' Don't be crazy you Tan, our relationship ended many years ago. Do I need to remind you?, if you have ended it all ?. Our story is over Tan, just think of it as just a monkey love story that existed between us first, Shazna said with nervous feeling because Fattan is now getting closer.


Fattan restrained Shazna's body, locking it between her arms that held onto the back of the sofa.


'' Our story is not over yet Shaz, until you find your happiness. Even though maybe it's not with me. I'll let you go. If you have found your happiness, but not now, because the man you are with is still giving you a wound,'' said Fattan with eyes not separated to look at the woman who is now no more than ten centimeters away from him.


'' I will always be in your life, a shadow of you. I will make up for all the time I have missed without you, said Fattan with certainty, Shazna forcibly pulled his hand but could not escape Fattan's tight grip.


The man actually pulled the woman into the dining room that was united with a clean kitchen. Only be given a wall partition limited to the chest. It looks like Bi Rumi has finished making a drink for her master and the guest brought by her master.


Fattan pulls up a chair in the dining room. Sit down the annoyed-looking Shazna there.


" Bi drink it put here aja Bi, '' Fattan said to Bi Rumi who was lifting a tray containing drinks and a plate of wet cake.


'' Baik Mas, '' said Bi Rumi who then put his luggage in front After allowing Shazna to drink Bi Rumi left from there.


'' You drink first, I'm eating lunch for you said Fattan as she gently brushed Shazna's hair. Makes the woman stiffen for a moment. Bi Rumi who saw the scene smiled to himself.


Fattan opened the refrigerator door and looked for available groceries. Rumi approached the master.


'' What do you want Auntie to cook?" asked Bibi to make the man turn his head.


" Don't Bi, just take a break. Let me cook myself for Shazna" replied Fattan with a smile that seemed reluctant to fade from the man's lips.


" Alright then Mas" said Bibi who then walked away. With a smile developed, Bibi felt happy to see the cheerful look on her employer's face.


Fattan walked towards the kitchen clean with groceries in both hands. Shazna watched the man in silence. The woman smiled faintly at Fattan's busyness in the kitchen.


Shazna knew the man was making it happen, he said when they were together. Shazna once praised a drama actor they both watched, when the actor in the drama was cooking. Shazna praised him by saying the actor was very charming . And this time, Fattan was showing her charm with the apron and cookware she used to prepare lunch for Shazna.


A plate of fried crispy shrimp, chicken soup with a sauce that still reflects the smoke is available in front of Shazna. Not to forget the rice that also just came out of the rice cooker.


" You have to eat a lot, let your blood pressure go back to normal," said Fattan, offering a plate of rice with a side dish in front of Shazna. Shazna looked at the man with troubled eyes.


His heart rumbled, the man before him playing with Shazna's feelings very well. Fattan deliberately provoked memories of their togetherness first. Realizing Shazna's dream in a very sweet way.


But a question hangs in Shazna's mind. What is really in that man for himself. Is the real love or obsession now in Fattan's heart ?. Shazna was unable to guess and feel about the feeling that lingered in the chest of the man who seemed reluctant to turn his gaze away from Shazna's face throughout their lunch.
