The Enchantment of the Former

The Enchantment of the Former
Two Hearts for One Name



The bespectacled man seemed to be walking back and forth in his study. The phone did not come out of the man's hand. Several times he seemed to take a long breath. Until finally the man's steps led him out of the room.


Arriving in front of his empty secretary table, Brandon was glued to him for a moment. He looked riled up, because just now when he parked his car, he still saw Shazna's car parked there. But for more than an hour, the woman could not be seen in the room. And several times Brandon tried to call was not adopted by his lover.


With worry in Brandon's heart. The man's long steps led him to Gracia's room. One of the staff he knew was quite close to his woman.


Brandon knocked on the door of the room of the woman who still seemed busy with her work. Gracia raised her downcast face staring solemnly at the lit laptop screen .


" Eh sir, good afternoon. Is there anything I can help you with?," asked Gracia a little nervous because usually the boss never comes directly to her room. Usually when Brandon asked about his job, the man only asked by phone.


Gracia stood up from her seat, nodding her head slowly as a form of respect for the superior.


" Like Grace" said Brandon as he approached Gracia, who was standing behind her desk.


" I'm sorry to interrupt your work, I just wanted to ask. Was it during the break that you were with Shazna?" asked Brandon who was just standing in front of Gracia's desk with two hands in his trouser pocket.


" Lho, instead of Shazna having lunch with you?," Gracia was surprised by the question asked by her best friend's lover. Brandon looked shaken.


" I don't have any lunch appointments with Shazna. I had lunch with a client" Brandon explained, making Gracia frown.


" So he said, there was an appointment to meet someone outside at lunch. I think I met you, sir" said Gracia, who was also confused by the disappearance of her best friend.


" Two did not meet me, and the car is still parked outside" said Brandon, whose face now looks more riled and worried.


" What phone call sir, not active?" asked Gracia .


With a nervous mind Brandon stepped up with his hands repeatedly pressing Shazna's phone number. Fan the result is the same, his girlfriend did not answer the phone from him. Until the last moment he tried to call the lover ended up with Shazna's cell phone inactive.


" Where are you, baby?" Brandon spoke alone as he was in the elevator alone.


A bitter smile seemed etched on the lips of the man who was staring at the phone whose screen had blackened. It was Fattan who was still standing with one hand in his pants pocket and the other hand holding Shazna's cell phone.


I don't know how many times the phone with the blue casing was lit, indicating there was a phone coming in. Fattan stared in dislike at the name of the contact on the screen of the woman who was sleeping in her guest room.


" My Fiance" .


Until finally the man chose to deactivate Shazna's phone. The woman he forced to sleep after lunch. Fattan, who was now sitting on the side of the bed, stared at the sleeping face with a sad look. His hands stretched out to tuck the hair that covered the beautiful face that looked so peaceful in his deep sleep.


" What do you keep from that man Shaz ?. Though clearly his mother rejected your whereabouts?," Fattan told the woman who was still asleep in her sleep. Maybe the effect of the drug that was taken made drowsiness attack without being able to hold the woman.


Fattan stared longingly at the woman who was asleep with a blanket wrapped in body to leave a visible head.


" I may have put such a deep wound in your heart Shaz. Let me make up for everything, I know I let you down. I've been the cause of your failed ideals" said Fattan regretfully.


When she found out Shazna wasn't the gynecologist she wanted her to be. He realized one thing, that he was the cause of the failure of Shazna's ideals. Deep guilt and regret. Make him continue to survive with love for the woman. He does not deserve to love another woman.


He promised himself that he would make up for all the wounds he had inflicted on the woman. And he was willing to devote the rest of his life to Shazna to make up for all the wrongs he had done in the past.


Slowly Fattan grabbed Shazna's hand outside the blanket. In the kisses of the palms. Then the man grasped it until unconsciously Fattan fell asleep with his body leaning on the head of the bed.
