The Enchantment of the Former

Last Hugs

Shazna was glued to where she stood. A place with such romantic decorations. Stunningly arranged in a rooftoop luxury restaurant. Beautiful candles are placed at various angles. Round table with two seats there. A beautiful musical sound so romantic in the ear.

Brandon smiles satisfied his sweetheart looks impressed by his romantic surprise. The man reached out with a raised smile. Shazna grabbed Brandon's hand and followed the man's steps to get closer to the table he had prepared.

Brandon rewinds the chair to sit the woman down. Shazna who that night appeared using a knee-length dress in blue with short sleeves, with seven-centimeter high heels. Her hair was beautifully smeared with thin makeup, but the beauty of the woman radiated from the face of the ayu.

No words have yet been said from the lips of the two. Shazna was busy staring at the scenery at night that day. The lights look so beautiful from up there. The moon, though not perfectly round, looks bright with thousands of stars.

Brandon could not see the woman's face. How can he let go of this woman?, if her feelings of love are growing every day.

'' Beautiful, ''' said Brandon who still sounds clearly in Shazna's ears.

'' It's so pretty, '' Shazna continued. But the pretty word from the mouths of the two humans had a different perception. Brandon says beautiful to the woman. Evident from his reluctant gaze turned away from the woman. While Shazna said that the night was so beautiful seen from the gaze of the woman who kept going around looking at the scenery around.

Not long after, came the food that Brandon had ordered before.

'' Dear ''sorry for yesterday, '' said Brandon as he grabbed the lover's hand and kissed him. Shazna smiled and nodded.

'' We eat first, '' continued Brandon, Shazna asserted the invitation of the lover.

Both had dinner in silence. Brandon occasionally glanced at the lover who felt tonight was too much silence. Even the woman did not seem to have much appetite for food.

'' What's the matter?,'' the question slid off Brandon's lips after they finished dinner. Shazna smiled bitterly. The woman was seen taking something from inside her bag.

'' I'm sorry, I think we've had enough of a fight to end here. I gave up on Shazna, giving him the box containing the ring he had removed from his finger.

'' Honey, please don't joke around, Brandon stared at the ring box nanar placed on the table.

'' I don't want to love, '' said Brandon as he clasped Shazna's hand and stared at the woman's bead eyes. Shazna could no longer hold back her tears. Brandon was also glazed. He never thought Shazna would break up tonight. The night he wanted to surprise her for an apology for her mistake yesterday.

Shazna shook her head slowly, one of her hands free from Brandon's grasp she used to wipe away the tears that kept dripping.

'' I can't ask you to make a choice between me and your mother's chosen woman. I know that matchmaking is a form of your gratitude and devotion to them. I don't want to be third among you. I retreat, I'm sorry, Shazna said as she put Brandon's hand away.

Brandon was stunned, his world seemed to collapse instantly. Tears flowed from his two eyes. Shazna stood up, took her bag and walked with tears that had not yet receded. Brandon stood up, took a quick step and grabbed Shazna's hand. Pull the woman in his arms.

''Don't go, '' said Brandon in a hoarse voice. Shazna let go of the hug. Cupped Brandon's face with both hands. Looked at the teary face of my face.

'' I'm sorry but I don't want the person I love to be the ungrateful person. I know this is hard for you. Please let me go, think this is destiny we have to live, said Shazna, the two pairs of eyeballs were so staring deep.

Brandon was stunned in his tears. It feels really tight. He could promise nothing to the woman he loved so much. He could not speak, because he did not know how to escape the trap of the match. Brandon brought Shazna back in a tighter embrace.

'' I love you, '' whispered the man in his sobs.

'' I know, I love you too. And then, please let me go. Don't device me in this complicated relationship. We live our destiny, Shazna said. Brandon breathed deeply. Well maybe this is what should happen.

'' Promise me the same, if you will live happily after I let go, '' said Brandon holding Shazna's two shoulders and eyes fixed in a clear, flooded valley.

Shazna nodded, speechless. Because he does not know, is there still a happy word in his life after this ?.

'' Well I let you go, but if I see you unhappy, then I will tie you back in my life. I will make you happy in my own way, Brandon said. Shazna could not say, the woman just stared in tears.

Under the sky, which is scattered by millions of stars. The pair of humans hugged each other for the last one. Let go of each other sincerely. Hope there is happiness ahead there that they can achieve in their own way.
