The Gray Autumn's

The Gray Autumn's
The Chosen One's



With a flat look Benjamin drove his car that afternoon. His destination this time was the banks of the Seine River, where he had made an appointment to meet his lover. But he came earlier than the girl. Finally, Benjamin had to willingly wait for a while. Sit alone enjoying the cold afternoon breeze. The handsome man pensively for a moment. His gaze was fixed on the ripples of river water. On the other hand, the beautiful scenery was spread and so spoiled the eyes. The Eiffel Tower also seemed to stand very solid and as if it would never be swayed by the slightest wind, even though thousands of seasons have come and gone.


Benjamin's memory then drifted on a few years ago. The shadow of Samantha's beautiful face is present in her eye peluk. A regret that used to happen, and made him always run away in an unworthy manner. Yes, Benjamin is looking for an escape from the pain of his separation from the English girl. A love story that does not end happily, although it leaves a beautiful and lasting memory, namely a child named Fleurine the beautiful little flower and has now grown up. However, Benjamin never thought, because it turns out that the child is precisely the barrier to the love story and his sacred intentions with Autumn. Should he continue to debate the same problem with his only daughter?


"Oh, God. The child was only ten years old," Benjamin murmured while complaining softly. He was inexhaustible because of his daughter's disposition which turned out to be so harsh.


"Ben," came a soft voice from someone he had been waiting for. Benjamin immediately looked over and stood up. He approached Autumn who was standing not far from him. Immediately kissed the girl affectionately and lovingly for a while. "Are you okay?" autumn asked shortly after Benjamin let go of his lips. The girl tidied up the lover's hair which was slightly disheveled. Unusually, Benjamin looks so fucked up.


"Let's sit down" the gray-eyed man asked. The two of them then side by side while facing the beautiful Seine River. Autumn immediately rested her head on Benjamin's shoulders, as the man clasped tightly onto the clasped fingers with a light blue cuticle. "Your hair is very fragrant" whispered the man. All the turmoil and anger that he had wanted to vent, now evaporated instantly like smoke that soared into the air.


"I thought you had gone home" Autumn glanced at the face of the man nearby for a moment, though Benjamin was glancing straight at the moving water with the wind.


"I did go home earlier, but I decided to go out again" replied the man in the black trench coat.


"How's Fleur doing? Isn't today the therapy schedule?" Autumn played her index finger on the surface of the mantle above Benjamin's thigh.


"Yes. He went to therapy with Aamber, because I happened to have to go to the office" Benjamin took a deep breath. "I talked to Fleur about our wedding plans. You must have guessed what kind of response he gave," said the man in a regretful tone.


Autumn did not answer. He doesn't know what to say. However, he can feel the anxiety and dilemma that is sweeping the heart of his beloved. "Did my dad see you at the office?" the girl preferred to switch the conversation.


"Yes" replied Benjamin. "Mr Hillaire met me just before lunch. We've got a deal. Your father has agreed, Elle. He accepted my proposal. The plan is, I want us to get married this fall" Benjamin explained, which immediately made Autumn change her position. He straightened his body while looking at the gray-eyed man with wide eyes. "Why?" Benjamin glanced at the beautiful girl next to him.


"This autumn?" repeat Autumn can't believe it.


"Yes. What's wrong if I want us to get married this fall?" Benjamin asked back.


"Is that not too rushed?" Autumn seemed to be frowning. He also plays with his beautiful eyes.


"Because I want us to get married soon, then there's nothing that I feel rushed about. There is still time to prepare everything. One thing's for sure, I want when the first snow falls, then you're near me. We'll sit together by the fireplace enjoying hot chocolate or ...." Benjamin could not continue his words.


"Nothing" said Benjamin, stopping his laughter. He then fell silent for a moment. "You know? Fleur asked me to return him to Marseille if I married you or another woman. That means, she turned down our marriage not because she didn't like you, Elle. Fleur was only afraid that my attention would be divided and greater on you. It was called jealousy," Benjamin tilted his body towards Autumn, and replied a furious pinch on his arm.


"Tell me, did you have a problem with Gabriel in the office?" ask Benjamin then.


"Nothing" Autumn replied immediately.


"Then, why did you have to do the work of his personal assistant?" benjamin asked full of questions.


"Ah, forget it. I don't want to talk about it," Autumn refused with a lazy look.


"Who makes you feel lazy? Gabriel?" benjamin asked again half-urgently.


"Everything" replied Autumn. "You know?Gabriel asked me out, "the girl's lyrics with a spotlight that seemed to tempt the lover.


"Then, how do you respond?" Benjamin looked curious.


"How do you think?" Autumn laughed softly. While Benjamin just grunted softly. This makes Autumn increasingly want to tempt the lover. "I wonder how you behave when you're jealous."


"You won't like it" Benjamin replied.


"Is it really scary?" Autumn brought her face closer to the handsome copper-haired brunette, who responded to her question by raising an eyebrow. "Did you know that I hit Elloise Lavigne in the face, so Gabriel gave me punishment?"


Benjamin turned his eyes back, signifying that he was in disbelief at the girl's confession. "It's amazing" a flattery satire he's referring to Autumn. "Then, what happened to Miss Lavigne?"


"Hey, why are you even asking?" autumn protest does not like. "He grabbed my hair tight, so I hit him in the face until he had a nosebleed" she said proudly. "Elloise is so annoying. Many of my colleagues don't like it. I think, in the future maybe you should emphasize to the personnel, so that they are much more selective in selecting incoming prospective employees," suggested Autumn seriously, making Benjamin could only look at him fixedly. The feeling of love full of admiration was emanated very clearly, when he again enjoyed a warm and friendly kiss, from the long-haired girl filler his heart.


"I've asked Majorie to find the best wedding organizer in the city" Benjamin said later. "I risked a lot for our wedding plans. I know that things will get better. And Fleur too. In the end, he will be able to accept you. I hope you can also take it well, because in this case I am not only looking for a wife, but also a mother for Fleur" Benjamin said. "As you know, there's a lot of women in my life, but you're the one who's chosen."
