The Prisoner of the Devils'

Flashbacks

Flashbacks!

Tears still continued to spread from the woman's blue bead, while her dry lips unceasingly trembled as her faint sobs filled the hearing senses of the man before her.

"I'm sorry!"

"It's okay, forget it."

"I'm sorry. I'm ashamed, Arlan."

No more answers came from Arlan's lips. He chose silence while his mind was still thinking about the reality. The man was angry and disappointed, of course. And that overwhelming disappointment emanated clearly in the glare of his calm eyes despite the many times he tried to keep it hidden.

The woman looked at Arlan regretfully then stepped slowly, eroding the distance between the two. His hand extended out slowly, grasping the large hand carefully before finally saying, "Please, forgive me! I. .. I really regret this ridiculous act of mine. Arlan, I—"

"Gabe ...." Painfully speaking as the man muttered his name.

"Gabriella," he muttered once more, then resumed his sentence in a soft tone. "How did you let me down, you know?"

Still with a poignant mutter, Gabriella carried one of Arlan's hands to her cheeks. Tight and painful as he stared intently at the man's face.

"Give me one more chance Arlan. I'm begging you!"

The man cupped Gabriella's cheeks together and moved his thumb as the drop of pain came back. “You should know that not everyone can get a chance. Twice I gave you that chance, why don't you use it well?"

Sentence after sentence was so softly thrown from his lips. The man could not be truly angry, even in these conditions, where greed now ruled his fiery heart. Especially against the figure of the woman in front of him, he certainly can not forget his emotions to the woman he loved so much.

"Arlan ..." muttered Gabriella.

His tongue suddenly fell. The woman could not speak anymore. He does not find the right sentence to retrap Arlan's conscience that increasingly avoids and hides from him.

"Listen to me, Gaby. A man who loves a woman will do no more before his time. He will take care of her like the most precious treasure of his life. You're a grown woman, you should be able to choose what's good and stay away from what you think is bad."

Gabriella. Tears of regret unceasingly drenched his face. The tighter he grasps the back of Arlan's hand that is still attached to the warm on both cheeks

"Why are you so careless about ruining what you're supposed to be keeping? You gave it to a man you didn't even recognize. And for God's sake, Gabriella! What do you got now? He left you in this condition."

"Really, it doesn't matter if nothing happens. I must have accepted you like back then. But if this is the case, I don't know what to do. You let me down and I love you so much, Gaby. You should understand why up until now I didn't dare to touch you. I love you, I don't want to hurt you, I want to take care of you as much as I can, I want us to get married once you're ready and reveal our relationship to them, but you just so easily get rid of that desire," arlan continued in a long tone that was so heartbreaking and anyone who heard it.

The cry grew even more so the moment after Arlan finished his sentence. His howling sounded even more heartbreaking. Really, Gabriella was unable to imagine how her life would be after this. His heart grimaced as Arlan's shadow left him unabated from his mind. He was so stupid and despicable. Really, he does not deserve a man as good as Arlan.

But how? What's he supposed to do? Gabriella loves him too much, and everything has happened because of her own shameful behavior.

Oh God! Arland ....

How could he so easily hurt this man's feelings? Scratch the wound at the bottom of his heart sincere, then tear the wound in a cruel way to cause an excruciating pain and never recover. She felt like a heartless woman.

"Arlan, please ...."

"I'm sorry" said the man before gently tucking his forehead, before Arlan finally put his face away and said, "I can't anymore. Really, I'm sorry. Know that I love you so much, Gabriella."

And after that, the man left. Completely departed from before him, even disappearing from his life in such a painful void. His mistake. What has happened is of course due to his own fault. He who has been so stupid hurt a man as good and as responsible as Arlan.

****

The sweat flooded Gabriella's trembling body as the painful flashes crammed back into her empty mind. Frustrated groans and stifled moans are now the only exorcists of silence in that vast, silent dim room.

That shadow was the biggest mistake he had ever made in the past. Mistakes that cannot be forgiven in any way. Gabriella squeezed her hair in frustration at remembering her stupidity a few months ago. Precisely when he first launched a confession to Arlan who said that he was pregnant, and of course the seed was not from the man, but from a man he did not recognize. But, really, he did so drunk, then found himself lying weakly with his innocent body right next to the man the next day.

Twice it happened with the same man. Accidental meeting at a bar. However, at that time they did so with full awareness, no influence of alcohol or anything like that, and without any safety whatsoever that made him like this. Gabriella can't remember any more, what reason made her so stupid that she gave up all her possessions to the stranger, without remembering Arlan who had forgiven at that time was still willing to accept himself who had been despised.

Her weak fingers were getting stronger pulling her own hair. His heart was too sick when he felt his soul continue to murmur its biggest mistake. The words caci maki to himself seemed to ring incessantly in both ears. Then, the shadow of Skylar's face that was hurting Starla flashed inside her head. With great difficulty, he tried to let out a howl that woman thought could take off those thoughts.

"No! Skylar .. no!"

And in the end, only a horde of despair was spewed from Gabriella's pale lips, which made two servants come to the woman who was struggling violently on her wheelchair. He again cried out in fear considering Skylar's treatment which was currently taking revenge on the wrong person. And he was afraid, he was really afraid something would happen to Starla. Oh God!

For God's sake! He and Skylar have already hurt two brothers who have not been involved in any wrongdoing in this regard. What's to be done?
