The Gray Autumn's

Feuilles Mortes

"Are you really going to cut off your relationship with Ben?" ask Autumn. A speck of anxiety was present within the look of the eyes he was waving towards the middle-aged man before him.

"You know if I don't like pulling the words that have been said. What has become Edgar Hillaire's decision, then it is something that can not be contested anymore. Benjamin Royce is the highest shareholder in the company. What I did this time was against the rules. But I don't care about that. My family's self-esteem is above everything else and more than anything" Edgar explained quite firmly and firmly.

"Yes, but unfortunately I really love Ben. He was so perfect in my eyes, despite the fact that there were so many flaws in that man, something that was even considered to be unworthy. However, it is not my job to judge him. I don't know Benjamin Royce from his past. I met and decided to get in close contact with her in the present, a time where she had started thinking about living a much better life. However, when he faced me completely, it was I who was struck by doubt in the heart," Autumn's words sounded so soft at the time. The look on his face and eyes looked lethargic and also devoid of passion at all.

"Tell me, what makes you suddenly doubt?" ask Edgar inside. This was something he rarely did, which was to speak from heart to heart with his eldest daughter. During this time, Edgar always revealed everything that became his concern for Arumi, and the wife was the one who would convey it to Autumn. However, Edgar now changed something that had become a habit for a long time. The middle-aged man, wanted to get closer to his daughter.

"Come on, Dad," Autumn replied, shaking her head slowly. "To be honest, if I don't have any more doubts about the feelings of love, care, or anything else that Ben offered me. I was doubtful of myself. As you said earlier, I'm not sure whether or not I can handle a storm that will strike at any moment, and maybe when I don't have any preparation," Autumn scooped her face, then pull her hair back.

"Then, what are you going to tell Benjamin about this?" edgar asked without taking his eyes off the beautiful girl, who now looked lethargic on the bed. "I'm not sure that you'll be able to do it" said the man, hesitating.

Meanwhile, Autumn fell silent at the thought of the father's last sentence. Let alone to talk about such a pitiful expression towards Benjamin, Autumn was not even able to release the man's shadow from his memory. The charming smile, eye-catching look, and also the warmth of the thirty-five year old man in treating him all this time, did feel very strong. Everything related to the beautiful businessman, such as an extraordinary sea whirlpool and able to attract anything around him.

"Then, I won't say anything to Ben," Autumn broke up after being silent for a while.

"So, what are you gonna do now?" asked Edgar again to confirm the decision that Autumn will take.

"Color and enjoy the time quietly. I wanted to cool my head before continuing the plan that had been made, "Autumn flicked away the blanket that covered her body. He intended to get out of bed.

"entertained? Where to?" ask Edgar curiously.

"Indonesia," the girl replied again without the slightest hesitation.

"Indonesian? Since when do you want to go there?" Edgar seemed to frown, the article has been decades the country was not on their list of visits during the holidays. In fact, Arumi's extended family was there. However, Edgar seemed to avoid the country. So, Keanu and his family often visit France. Arumi herself did not miss her brother. However, there were some things that he could not break from the decision of an Edgar. For Arumi, it doesn't matter as long as he can still communicate well with Keanu and his family.

Lazy feeling that whack Autumn, must the girl get rid of it all the way when she returned to the routine at the office. Even so, working hours there he passed without feeling until the time he came home. His feet were placed on the sidewalk of the streets of Paris. The girl enjoyed the beautiful autumn scent with hundreds of maple foliage falling down.

Autumn sat for a moment on the garden chair. His eyes were unceasingly watching the pile of reddish-orange leaves that looked fresh. It's a big mistake if autumn is going to be a gray season. It is of course inversely proportional, with the bright color of the leaves that have fallen. A message came to his number. Autumn checked the message sent by Benjamin. The man constantly asked the news of the lover, even though Autumn only responded with a casual response.

Miss you.

Autumn smiled reading the message. "I miss you too, Ben," he murmured softly.

"Really?" that heavy voice had managed to shock Autumn. He immediately took his eyes off the phone screen, and turned to the man with the black trench coat that was not far from him.

Autumn stood up with a gaze that kept fixed on the man who was now walking over. A smile appeared on the corner of the girl's lips, as she welcomed a warm kiss that instantly filled the cold air around them. Maple leaves fall, when the two people face each other and link the longing that could whack. "Where have you been?" benjamin asked after letting go of his kiss. Gently she cupped Autumn's pretty face.

"I deliberately avoided you," Autumn answered so honestly, making Benjamin immediately knit his brows and return to kissing the girl's affectionate brown coat.

"Please don't do that, Elle," Benjamin asked. The father of one child, still has not removed his palm from Autumn's face. Benjamin's hand now even slipped behind the girl's neck, and rubbed her slowly, like a gust of wind that occasionally flew a few leaves towards the two of them. "Never think of getting away from me" whispered the gray-eyed man again.

Autumn smiled slightly. "I want to talk to you about something" he said slowly. Not usually Autumn feels so soft.

"About what?" benjamin looked calm.

"About our marriage" Autumn replied straightforwardly.

Benjamin's calm look changed slightly. There was a speck of worry in the look in his eyes. "Everything's fine, right?" the man asked half a whisper.
