The Enchantment of the Former

Love and Tears

Shazna opened her eyes, as the woman frowned. He looked around and felt a hand on his palm. Shazna turned to the side, looking at Fattan who was asleep with her body half-sitting.

The woman stared at Fattan for quite a while, a gaze that implied about the woman's uneasiness. Slowly, Shazna moved Fattan's hand. The woman moved slowly, hoping that the man who was still asleep was unaware of his movements. Shazna got off the bed, turned to the table near Fattan. There was his bag and cell phone.

Shazna stepped carefully then picked up her belongings. When pressing the button on the phone, he found out if his phone was dead. Didn't want to make Fattan wake up because of the sound of the cell phone being activated. Shazna stepped out of the room.

Shazna left the guest room, after exiting the room, the woman reactivated her cell phone. The woman walked with her face down, when she opened her cellphone which had been dead for some time.

'' Non Shazna, where are you going?,'' Bi Rumi's voice made Shazna raise her face, and stare at the middle-aged woman who was sweeping the living room.

'' Want to go home bi, it is afternoon, '' Shazna said with a smile.

'' You are not being delivered with Mas Fattan?, ''' added Bi Rumi who has now stopped his activities.

'' Fattan fell asleep Bi. Let it go, I think he's tired. I only use online taxis. If so Shazna pamit first Bi, said Shazna gently did not forget a thin smile was drawn on the lips of the woman.

'' Yes non, be careful, '' said Bibi who was responded with a nod by the woman. With a definite step, Shazna came out of a modern minimalist house that looked perfect in his eyes. Because in every corner of the house is his desire first. Everything he ever said to Fattan turned out to be made that guy.

Waiting for a while, the online taxi message came. Shazna sat in the back seat. The look in the woman's eyes looked pushy. His memory goes back to what happened this afternoon. What the mother of her lover said really hurt her heart.

But there is an ego that actually whispers itself to stay with Brandon. There is a hardness of heart that seems to want to prove itself. If this woman is considered unworthy is the woman of choice of her son. A man who is ready to risk everything for a woman who is considered inappropriate.

But there is fragility on the other side of his heart that reminds himself, if it continues to force there is a heart that is prepared to be hurt. Shazna closed her eyes, enjoying the turmoil of the heart that was fighting with the ego self .

The sound of a vibrating cell phone resuscitates Shazna from the wandering reverie. The name of the fiancee is listed there. Soon the woman raised her man's call.

'' Yes,hallo, ''' Shazna's greeting that made someone across there a tremendous relief.

'' Honey, where are you?, I called from earlier not picked up and the last time your phone died.'' said Brandon

'' I'm sorry I left I didn't say, there's something I have to take care of. I'm on the street, I'll be home soon, Shazna tries to answer as calmly as possible. Although his heart felt so hurt, but he did not intend to tell the lover about his meeting with the woman who had given birth to the man.

'' Thank God, I was worried. Yes, we met at home. I'm also on my way to your house. Love you, my dear, said Brandon who got no reply from Shazna until the call ended. The woman looks to breathe. His gaze was fixed on the quite crowded street that afternoon.

Arriving in front of Shazna's house, the woman immediately got out of the car. His eyes were immediately fixed on the man who was already standing by leaning on the hood of the car. Brandon, who saw his girlfriend get out of the car, got up from where he stood. Approaching the lover with a smile that spread wide on the lips of the man.

'' Sorry, ''' said Brandon in Shazna's ear.

'' What is it for?, '' asked Shazna who did not understand, why was it the man who suddenly apologized. It was he who had done it.

'' For today, you shouldn't have faced your own darling. I'm sorry I wasn't there next to you when you needed to, Brandon said in a trembling voice. The man felt his embrace getting stronger. Occasionally kiss the lover's hair.

'' You know what happened today?, asked Shazna who was still in the arms of the tall man. Brandon let go of his embrace. Looking at the beautiful face of the woman. He cupped Shazna's face with both palms. Brandon nodded with the gazes of the two locking onto each other.

''I was confused where to look for you, and I went to the security room to see the cctv just before you went out. And I saw my mother come and go into your room. He must have said that money made you hurt. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you Brandon said. The two looked at each other. Unknowingly, a clear crystal flowed down Shazna's cheek.

Brandon who saw that, felt so guilty. He hugged the body of the lover again with lips that repeatedly say sorry. The woman was getting more and more in his arms. Shazna just wanted to cry, releasing the crush of the rada on her chest.

For a while they stood up and hugged. Until Shazna started to calm down. The woman broke free the lover's embrace. Staring at the face of the bespectacled man before him with a look of eyes implied sadness. Brandon wiped the tincture on his lover's cheek.

'' I'm sorry, '' said Brandon in a whisper to Shazna. Then pull Shazna's face and in her kiss the woman's eyelids.

Shazna shook her head with a look in the eyes of her man.

'' Don't apologize, it's not your fault Shazna told Brandon.

'' I'm the one who brought you to the current situation. Forgive me for causing trouble in your life, again the man pulled the body of his lover in his warm embrace.

'' But I can't let you go, I love you you Shazna Rivania, stay by my side. Please trust me to get everything done, Brandon continued. No words came out of Shazna's lips, she just nodded in the arms of the lover.

Brandon looked up at the sky that was quite bright that afternoon. The man's hand was unceasingly gently rubbing the lover's head. His heart was sobbing that he saw his lover crying again. The man seemed to be dispelling his tears that were about to descend by occasionally staring at the sky.

At the end of the street of Shazna's house, a car is parked with passengers holding tightly to the steering wheel. Staring at the pair of lovers who were hugging with hurt gazes. The man's jaw tightens, indicating he is holding back anger.

Fattan, who finds Shazna no longer at home, chases the woman to a nearby spot. He had to stop his car when he saw the painful sight.

'' Why must be this sick, '' said Fattan who increasingly tighten his grip on the steering wheel. And without excuse, the droplets of water flowed slowly from his eyes.
