The Enchantment of the Former
Survive or Let go



Brandon came out of the office at work with his girlfriend. The two split up in the office parking lot. He'll be picking up his girlfriend for dinner tonight. Along the way to Brandon's apartment looked so cheerful. The man stared repeatedly at the blue box he had placed on the car's dashboard.


Arriving at Brandon's apartment, entering the lobby with a sumringah face. Everyone who passed by would know the man was in a happy mood. With a small whistle Brandon entered the elevator. It just so happens to be alone there. The man was standing straight with two hands in his pocket. I can't wait for the night time.


Out of the elevator, he headed for his unit, pressed password to the entrance of his apartment unit. As the door opened, the man frowned when he found someone sitting on his living room couch.


'' Mama,'' said Brandon who saw the mother sitting on the sofa . The woman turned towards the door welcoming the arrival of her son with a cold look.


'' What happened Ma, kok tumben came not ngabarin Brandon?, asked the son who is now sitting on the single sofa in front of Mama.


'' Brandon, Mama told you, leave your secretary. Why are you still in contact with that woman?, ''' without further ado Mama expressed her intention of coming.


'' Ma, give Brandon time to settle Brandon's affairs with Shazna. It's not easy for both of us. Mama must understand, Brandon loves Shazna. And to accept Kellie is not that easy, Ma said Brandon trying to set his tone so as not to sound rude.


Mama sighed, it felt like she had been patient enough with her son's relationship with the secretary. But it turns out that all the prohibitions are not heeded by the son.


'' Mama gave you time to break off the relationship with the woman. You need to focus on Kellie. Mama is sure as time goes by you will love each other. Mama still believes love can grow out of habit, said the woman who always looks graceful at every opportunity.


Brandon swallowed a rough spit. He knew the temperament of the mother that could not be fought. The woman will definitely do everything in her power to separate herself from Shazna . He has to find a way to protect his wife.


'' Yes Ma, Brandon will obey Mama's wishes.


''Good, you get ready soon. Tonight we have dinner at the Bramantyo residence and we will talk about your engagement, said the mother who made Brandon flabbergasted.


'' How come Ma?, Brandon has an appointment tonight, Brandon said. Brandon's words were not heeded by the mother, the woman rose from her seat. Stepping out of the living room while saying Mama does not want to know, cancel your promise. Mom wait at home.''


After that, Brandon could no longer answer because the mother who had disappeared behind the door.


'' Shittt '!!!, '' said Brandon while dropping on the back of the chair. He took off his glasses and massaged the base of his nose which felt throbbing.


Brandon took the phone in his clutch bag. He had to cancel an appointment with Shazna. The man dialed the lover's number, but the call was not connected. He tried calling on a regular phone. And the answer from the operator that the man got.


'' Siall, '' furious Brandon while throwing his cell phone on the table. Lazily Brandon got up from the sofa, walked straight to the room.


Up in Brandon's room, he undid all his clothes and wrapped his body with a towel around his waist. He went into the bathroom, flushed his body to cool his brain, which was hot.


The woman, who is now dressed in kimono, grabbed a beautiful evening dress that Brandon presented to her. A dress she never wore. Black dress with an open shoulder but dangling long until dragged to the floor. Shazna smiled bitterly at the dress that was still in her hands.


Shazna sat in front of the dressing table, staring at her own face in the mirror reflection. She took her make up equipment. Start polishing her face with thin makeup strokes. Finished with her face, she took off the kimono and replaced it with the dress she had prepared.


Beautiful, a word that describes the woman. Shazna smiled at the reflection of herself. He took a long earring and put it on. Then the woman tidied up her wavy hair left her unraveled. Just a little pinch over the ear.


Shazna picked up a pair of gorgeous high heels that looked sparkling. Shoes that look classy and expensive, he wears it to support his perfect appearance tonight. Shazna looked at the wall clock. Fifteen minutes, Brandon's gonna pick her up.


The woman stood in front of the mirror. Make sure his appearance will not disappoint the lover. He smiled faintly, seeing how expensive he looked tonight. Maybe if he could always look expensive like this every day the mother of the lover would not refuse him. Because it can be made sure only people with thick pockets can wear clothes as expensive as this every day.


Ah, but who is she?, she is no more than a secretary whose salary a month is only enough to buy a dress she wears. Shazna sighed, trying to pull aside for a moment about her fretting heart. He really is in a dilemma. Between surviving or releasing the beloved.


Shazna got up from the front of the mirror, picked up a handbag. And go out the room. In the living room Dad was still watching television with the nurse who asked him not to come home tonight.


'' Dad hasn't slept yet?, '' asked Shazna, usually the man goes to bed quickly.


'' I want to meet my future daughter-in-law first, '' said Dad with a smile on the lips of a man who now looks older than his age.


" Maybe Brandon will be up to Yah, Shazna answered, standing behind him. Gnashing the man's shoulder slowly . Dad took Shazna's hand off his shoulder.


'' Daddy's son is beautiful, just sit here" said Dad while patting the chair near Dad. The father and son chatted leisurely while waiting for Brandon's arrival.


But half an hour passed, the man had not revealed his nose. Shazna's getting restless. The woman was looking for her handbag's cell phone. Turns out the flat thing wasn't there.


'' Well for a moment, Shazna tried to call Brandon. Hp Shazna seems to be still in the room, Shazna said as she passed leaving the living room. The woman went back into the room and looked for her in her briefcase. Sure enough he found that thing there. But in a powerless state.


Shazna approached the dressing table, where she placed the hp charger there. He charged up so that his phone could be turned back on. A few moments waiting finally Shazna can blame his phone. A few incoming messages and one of them, a message from Brandon.


My Fiance


'' Sorry dear, it looks like dinner has to be delayed. There's something important I can't leave tonight. Love you, baby''


Shazna laughed bitterly at the message sent by her lover.
