The Gray Autumn's

The Autumn Closure

The hand of Keanu, Puspa, and Jenna accompanied the departure of the Hilaire family who would return to France. While in another corner of the capital on a magnificent house, stood a man on a balcony while staring at the sky. Arjuna Moedya Aryatama, smiled faintly for a moment. "Goodbye, Arum," she murmured softly before turning her gaze into the room, where it was Diana who was tidying herself up in front of the makeup mirror.

......................

The cold air is piercing. Autumn is coming to an end and is being replaced by winter. However, Benjamin's charming smile still remained warm as he welcomed Autumn's presence back in his arms. Upon learning that Autumn has arrived in France, the next day she immediately comes to the Hilaire family home. Can't wait to feel his heart, to tell that the wedding preparation they will direct is done with the maximum.

"We just have to continue with the plan yesterday" said Benjamin who sat next to Autumn. That happiness emanated clearly from the look in his eyes.

"I'm not sure about the wedding in late autumn" said Autumn, who sat leaning forward. Benjamin sat half-sided and facing Autumn. He straightened his right hand on the back of the sofa. Occasionally, the man plays his fingers near the shoulders of the lover.

"Nothing is impossible for Benjamin Royce" he said confidently. "Fleur wants to see you. What if we had lunch together at my place?" bargained for. Instead of answering, Autumn instead glanced at the man while smiling mischievously. "Come, Elle. Don't put on a face like that, because you know what's going on for you" Benjamin scares Autumn.

"I was still hesitant to meet Fleur, but I did have to" Autumn said as she looked at Benjamin lovingly. "During my time in Indonesia, I thought about a lot of things. One is that I don't want to regret the decision I've made, and have to be really reassuring. You know what, Ben? There are many beautiful love stories but do not end happily, just because of wrong attitude. Yes, it's all regardless of God's meddling factor of course. But I don't want that to happen to me. I'm in love with you. It can be said that I am very crazy about Benjamin Royce, and honestly I can not imagine falling in love with another man again" Autumn said without giving up her eyes.

"You're right. There are some people who are only meant to fall in love once. They meet, admire each other, then get married, then live a happy life until the end of life. However, there are also those who have to go through a long journey to meet their true love. One of the most painful things is that when love has grown and blossomed, it suddenly falls into a storm when we want to harvest. It's a pity, "Benjamin chimed in.

"I can imagine how painful it is" Autumn said. She recalls seeing Arumi crying between two men who are the love of her past and future. She didn't want to experience all the things that her mother went through in her youth.

"Hurry to prepare. We're off to where I am now" said Benjamin.

"alright. I go to the room first," Autumn got up from her seat and passed from there. Along with that, Edgar appeared in the room. He looks neat. Apparently, he was about to leave.

Seeing the presence of his future father-in-law, Benjamin immediately stood up. He also immediately greeted the man politely and looked dignified. "You're leaving, Mr Hillaire?" tanyanya.

"Yes. There's a bit of work to do" replied Edgar still in a standing position. "Where's Elle?" he was astonished to see Benjamin alone there.

"Me and Elle intend to have lunch at my place. Fleur asked me to take Elle there. I hope you don't have a problem with that" Benjamin calmly explained.

Benjamin smiled faintly upon hearing the threat from his future father-in-law. He knew what Edgar's character was like, so he did not take it too seriously or put the firm words of the father of the two children into his heart. "You take it easy, sir. Elle will always be safe with me" Benjamin replied in a reassuring manner.

"Well, I'm too late" Edgar said after looking at his watch. Before leaving, he patted Benjamin on the arm. Then he turned around and stepped out of the living room with Benjamin's gaze. Edgar may not have known that the thirty-five-year-old man, in fact, greatly admired the figure of him. In the eyes of a Benjamin, Edgar's figure in addition to being intelligent and assertive, he was also a person who always said what he was.

"Let off now, Ben?" the voice of Autumn has returned Benjamin from his daydream.

Benjamin immediately looked over and smiled. Autumn looks so beautiful with a red beret coat and hat. Without letting go of her charming smile, Fleur's father immediately approached Autumn. "I'm so happy that you've returned to Paris. It's time for us to end the old, and start something new, "softly and deeply in the gray-eyed man's tone of speech, making Autumn smile happily.

"Where's Miss Hilaire? I haven't seen him since," he asked later.

"My mom is out. We just leave, ", said Autumn.

"All right," Benjamin agreed. He immediately grabbed the girl's wrist, then led her out. They don't care about the cold air. Both of them got into the car. Slowly, Benjamin's luxury vehicle drove out of the spacious courtyard of the Hilaire family home.

During the trip, Autumn looked very happy. It was like a dream when he had already returned to France and sat down next to the man he loved so much. Just one more step for them, to close the autumn of the year without the gray atmosphere as the two feared. The doors of happiness were wide open and ready for them to join together.

Autumn smiled sweetly as she turned to Benjamin, as the man clasped his fingers tightly. A warm feeling enveloped the twenty-two-year-old girl's heart as she kissed her hand deeply.

"Fleur will definitely love your new hair, Elle," Benjamin said, continuing to drive with one hand.

"I hope this will bring me good luck" Autumn said still with a sweet smile.

"You are my good luck, Elle," Benjamin replied warmly.
