"What's up, Elle? Please don't frighten me" Benjamin asked as he invited Autumn to sit down. He clasped his shoulders, so the beautiful girl inevitably had to lean her head over the man's shoulder. Benjamin then rubbed Autumn's arms while occasionally gently tucking her lover's brown hair. "I hope you don't think anything" he said slowly. He was still trying to remain calm, though inwardly began to feel a unease that was hard to pin down.


"Why should you be afraid, Ben?" ask Autumn slowly.


"Why are you still asking 'why'? You already know what the answer is. Is it wrong to feel scared?" Benjamin asked back. Once again, the man kissed the head of Autumn feelingly.


There was a slow sigh, which slid from the lip of the lip lipstick peach color belongs to Autumn. In that breath, it was as if there was a heavy burden and it might be difficult for Autumn to get rid of. "Is Fleur okay?" tanyakanya.


"I've spoken at once to give her understanding. Either my daughter can accept that or not, but one is for sure that she can actually understand the situation between us. You know what, Elle? Fleur was scared. He had thought far ahead" Benjamin said with a glaring gaze at the orange landscape, which lay around the park area.


"meaning?" Autumn looked up a little, for the sake of looking at the beautiful face she always admired, from the beginning of her meeting with the man.


Benjamin smiled knot. The man then took a deep breath and slowly pummeled it. He closed his eyes for a moment, then laughed softly. "You know what Fleur's been afraid of all this time?"


"What?" Autumn sounded so curious.


"Fleur said that after marriage, I will definitely have a baby. He's afraid that you or I don't love him with the same feelings" Benjamin said calmly.


Instantly Autumn straightened her body, then looked at the lover who was now looking at her. "I haven't thought about having a baby yet" the girl protested with a slight grimace. "Ah, no. Do you think that's the reason? I don't know, Ben. However, I feel there is something more to it than that" Autumn said later with confidence.


"Something you think, Elle?" Benjamin stared fixedly at the gray-eyed beautiful girl. "Fleur is only a ten-year-old child. She even sobbed as I spoke in a rather high tone towards her. You think a kid his age can hunch?"


"You don't see his attitude to me?" autumn Protest. That angry feeling re-established itself. Autumn, who was facing Benjamin, immediately changed position. He was facing straight ahead while folding both hands on the chest. His face looks sour too. The girl's spoiled attitude comes when she feels that Benjamin is still defending the wrong Fleur made on her.


"Elle, please understand. I should be able to put myself between you and Fleur. You are my future wife, while Fleur is my biological daughter ...."


"The daughter who was never willing to accept her father's future wife," Autumn sidetracked.


"Imagine for a ten-year-old. She doesn't have a mother. If it was not me who guarded and protected, then who would the child ask for his rights to? How sinful I am, if you let Fleur be in a big pressure that makes him feel uncomfortable. I want to find another way. I beg you who are old enough to be able to be more understanding. Remember, Elle. I'm not acting like this to justify what Fleur did to you. I just want all of us to get together, enjoy the upcoming winter by the fireplace while having a chat. Is my hope too grandiose in your opinion?" Benjamin turned his gaze to Autumn who still looked pouted. He again grabbed the girl's shoulder.


"Then give me a moment" Autumn said.


"For what?" asked Benjamin flatly.


"To calm down while thinking. I want to take a little distance from you, to be able to find out how much I believe in this big decision," the girl explained with great confidence.


Benjamin did not answer. His gaze was straight ahead, but seemed empty after hearing the explanation from Autumn. He did not know what to say, because the girl next to him was so difficult to digest. "Don't, Elle," asked Benjamin quietly. Slightly begging, the man then lowered his face.


"I've made that decision, Ben. Temporarily postpone our wedding plans, until I feel completely ready and Fleur's hatred for me may be diminished. Even if the child still hates me, at least I have prepared mentally well to be able to face the weight of any storm that will come crashing. I beg of you, give myself some room to breathe, "Autumn slowly releases Benjamin's embrace of her. Then he stood up. However, at that time Benjamin also stood up while reaching for Autumn's wrist. The gray-eyed man shook his head slowly. He asked Autumn not to do what she said earlier.


However, the girl's decision was already unanimous. He removed Benjamin's grip from his wrist. The girl then confronts the handsome man. Caught the beautiful face of the father of one child. Without a doubt, Autumn kissed him again so affectionately for a while, even though Benjamin was just sculpting. "Wait for me, because this girl will definitely come back to you. After all, my love for you is far greater than the rejection Fleur gave me. Therefore, if you do have the same feelings and are willing to wait, then .. I will definitely see you again."


"How long, Elle?" benjamin asked flatly as he stared fixedly at the girl who had managed to make his world become unbecoming.


"It won't be long, Ben. I promise I'll be back soon and see you, "Autumn replied slowly.


"Where are you going?" benjamin asked again, begging the girl to back off her decision.


"Somewhere I wish you didn't know," Autumn replied later. Slowly the girl moved back and started to move away. A smile was seen adorning her beautiful face, before she turned around and walked away leaving Benjamin still glued. For some reason, the man seemed to have difficulty moving his legs. He couldn't even just shout out Autumn's name to stop the girl from stepping.


The leaves fell like tears that were now dripping at the corner of Autumn's lips. The girl just felt that falling in love was very beautiful, but also very painful. Whether this decision is right or not. However, he only wanted to know what Benjamin would do without him.
