The sound of the clattering of shoes rang out in the living room of the majestic, silent-looking house. Brandon's long steps, taking the cold-looking man through the living room as well as the living room.
'' Bi!," Brandon's voice called out to one of the household assistants at his parents' residence.
The woman, who looked old, approached the young master with a step.
'' Den Brandon!, what is Den ?, '' asked the longest working woman there.
" Aunty see Mama?, '' asked the man who is now wearing a black polo shirt with matching color chinos.
'' Madam on top of Den, in room '' answered the woman .
'' Thank you Bi, said Brandon still with a cold face. The man left the housekeeper who seemed to follow the steps of his master's son with the look of his eyes.
Brandon climbed the circular staircase that connects the ground floor with the second floor. The man's footsteps led him to his parents' room. Brandon stood for a moment, staring at the door before him blankly. He finally raised his hand and knocked on the door.
'' Who is '', '' asked someone inside. Brandon took a deep breath before calling it out.
'' Brandon Ma, ''' no more sounds were heard, but the door of the room was not open for a long time. A smile spread on the lips of the woman who had been wearing a long nightgown.
'' Brandon, Mama kangen son. Long time you do not go home, how busy are you working?, '' sulking the mother, because the firstborn was long enough not to go home. After replacing his father who had died, to hold the company left by the father, Brandon chose to live in an apartment that was not too far from work.
'' Sorry Ma, Brandon has more work to do, replied the man who was still standing in front of the room. Mama grabbed his son's arm, taking the man to the living room upstairs.
'' At least remember to visit your old mother. You are too busy with your boyfriend said the mother cynically while sitting on the sofa available in the family room.
Brandon seemed to sigh, it would be difficult to talk well with his mother about the woman who served as his lover.
'' It's not like that Ma, Brandon is really busy working Ma, '' said Brandon while sitting in front of the mother. As much as possible the man avoided arguing with his mother. He did not want to disappoint his mother, but he did not want to hurt his lover.
'' You are here also surely because the woman complained, because Mama met her said the woman with a look of dislike. Brandon, take the mother's hand and hold it gently.
'' Shazna did not complain Ma, Brandon who knew Mama came to the office. Ma, if there's anything you need to say please talk to Brandon first. Brandon loves Mama, but Brandon also loves Shazna Ma. Please bless our relationship Ma, said Brandon softly. The woman breathed deeply. His face looked stiff.
" Mama still can't bless you two, it's not just seeds, bebet and weights. But about the promises that must be kept," said Bu Marita with a cold face. Brandon raised his face, looking at the mother who looked cold and flat.
" You mean Mama?" asked Brandon, who did not understand what she said.
" You certainly do not forget the kindness of the Bramantyo family who have donated the heart of their eldest son to save you" said Mother with eyes now fixed on her son.
Brandon fell silent, he would never forget the kindness of a young man who had donated his heart to him when he was a teenager.
" Papa and the Bramantyo family have agreed to marry you to one of their daughters. And because their first daughter is older than you. You're gonna marry Kellie their youngest child. You must remember it, right?, asked the mother who was nodded by Brandon, the man looked pensive, the look on your eyes was empty.
'' In a few days Kellie will be returning from abroad, because her studies are over. And you have to prepare to meet him. Mama does not want to know, release your secretary, Mama concluded, Brandon just sculpt.
Until the mother left her who was still sitting in the family room. The man was still pensive on his own. He doesn't understand how to. Her love couldn't have been that easy to move from a Shazna for her to give Kellie. A cheerful girl he had not seen for several years. The girl who always called him by the name of om was prepared to be his wife ? .
It felt like Brandon's head was about to break thinking about it. The man closed his eyes, feeling a tightness that sniffed in his chest. He realized that there was a debt of life that he could not return. But to accept a woman he doesn't love really he feels unprepared. Because it's a matter of the heart, and the heart has chosen.
Finally, without saying goodbye to his mother, Brandon came out of the house. He wants to go back to the apartment. Along the road that began to fade. Brandon's mind couldn't focus. Fretfulness in the heart.
He cannot just let go of his love. But ignoring the wishes of the person who has helped him also feels very outrageous. Brandon was troubled in his heart.
In the dimness of the night, Brandon pulled his car over on a bridge that looked deserted. The man got out of the car. Looking at the night so thick. There's no moon up there. Even the stars refuse to show themselves.
What a night of friendship with his heart. Many times the man inhaled and exhaled violently. His hand gripped the iron that was on the edge of the bridge.
'' Aaarrrgghh ''' shouted Brandon at the silence of the night that restrained him. He tried to let go of a feeling that was so tight to squeeze his mind. Brandon shouted loudly several times. Until finally tears flowed down the man's cheeks.
Brandon sat on the bridge. Fascinated in a bitter cry. Why should he face this complicated relationship ?. The man's hand gripped the chest where his heart was. Realizing that there was a price he had to pay with his life , what did he have to do ?.
Should he give up his love and choose to give up in fighting for his love ?.
'' Shazna, '' groaned softly at the man who looked so messy. Calling the lover's name.
