Vanessa Elvia

Broken

Vannesa sat with Rio on the 3rd floor of the mansion. They stared at the scene from up there, Vanessa unceasingly smiled at the small-looking building when she saw it from above.

"You like it?"

"Yes, I like it."

"Then you can come here whenever you want." Rio remained looking ahead without turning to Vannesa.

Vannesa sighed, she looked towards Rio, in her heart maybe it was already filled by this human in front of her. But Vanessa wouldn't admit it.

"Rio, I'm going home." Vannesa was silent for a moment "Self."

Rio looked at Vannesa sharply, Vannesa smiled, she immediately stood up and remained firm on her desire to go home alone.

"Vannesa I'll drop you off."

"No, you stay home."

For some reason Rio was like a dejavu, he could not move. Like someone's holding him there. Vannesa came out of the mansion without any disturbance, all of them bowing their heads as Vannesa passed by them.

"You suck."

"You? How did you get here?"

"What... No can? I just took a walk and accidentally saw you here."

"Ck, then what's the problem?" Vanessa took a twig nearby and played it.

"You stay away from him? That's not the end of all this. Think of Vannesa, maybe she'll be your weak point later, but you intend to stay away from her? Heh, that's even you look so heartless. Just like you left...." The word hangs "Laksmi!"

Deg

Vannesa's heart stopped beating, looking at her beautiful face was sharp. In his mind there were so many questions he wanted to ask.

"Silya how do you know Laksmi? Say it!"

"Woww, wait a minute. Do you think you can meet him even though he's alive right now? He must be very angry at you right now. So stop leaving the person who helped you to have a wonderful life like this."

Silya smiled, and immediately left Vannesa in the old suburban building alone.

"What am I doing?" Vannesa shed her tears. Pointing his head up to the afternoon sky which currently felt like he was coming to judge him.

***

Vannesa stared at her mobile phone which had since rang, indicating a single name 'Alrio'. Maybe this time the decision was right? He was just afraid that the person he cared about would be targeted by someone else again.

His mind drifted to think of Silya's words this afternoon. Vannesa smiled bitterly, herself as if she did not deserve to be happy, even when she found a warm family then it would be snatched from her.

"Vannesa you're home?" Hans suddenly appears from Vannesa's front door which he does not lock.

"Hans?"

"Vannesa you know? I'm worried about you." Hans hugged Vanessa.

"I'm fine Hans, calm down." Vanessa patted Hans' back gently. Hans let go of his embrace and stared fixedly at Vannesa.

"Where are you going?"

"Heh I already know, it turns out Rio really likes you Vann." Hans seems to be hiding his disappointment with Vannesa.

"Hans, I want to get away from Rio."

"Why? You like Rio, right? That's right, isn't it?"

"I I don't know." Vannesa sighed "Just don't want those who hate me to come after Rio. That's all."

Hans should have understood that Vannesa's goal in staying away from Rio was to protect him. It was obvious that Vannesa loved Rio very much. Hans smiled knotingly.

"But I think it'll only hurt Vannesa's heart. You'd better get some sleep first, but then you'll have to work. I'll be home, good night."

Vannesa was still staring, she felt that every word of money spewed from Hans' mouth contained a huge disappointment.

Once again Vannesa lost one person she loved, Vannesa curled up on the sofa. Feeling the pain in his heart.

Vanessa eventually fell asleep on her own. When he woke up the morning, Vannesa felt very lazy to work today.

Vannesa did not see any signs of Rio's presence, to be honest after yesterday she left him not even receiving a phone call from her Vannesa felt a little homesick.

Opening the door of his workspace, Vannesa sighed when she saw the pile of maps containing the documents she had to work on today.

Vannesa was very serious in doing her work, so that no one came into her room unconscious.

"Vanny are you mad at me?"

"Rio's? I mean, Mr. Rio. No. I'm not angry." Vanessa tried to smile, but it was just an ugly fake smile.

"If you don't want to smile don't have to be forced, it reduces your professionalism."

Vannesa looked at Rio sharply, but only then did she feel longed for Rio. But after hearing his words, the longing disappeared and was replaced to be upset.

"What do you need to do here."

"Ck lousy girl, I told you to just call Rio."

"Huh yeah fine whatever you want."

"You didn't pick up the phone from me, even your response suddenly became strange, is there a problem?"

"The problem? Even if there is a reason? If not, why? We have nothing to do anyway, so it doesn't matter to you."

Rio was astonished, he felt an intense pain in his heart. It's true that they have nothing to do, but Rio also has not dared to reveal that he likes Vannesa.

"I just wanted to say, I have a project abroad for 1 month. And that long we won't meet. Does that make you happy? Oh yes in 20 minutes I'm leaving, so I'm just here to say goodbye to you." Rio immediately left Vanessa's room after saying that.

Vannesa was surprised to hear Rio's words just now, even when she wanted to chase after Rio now it felt very heavy. Really like the position experienced by Rio before.

Vannesa shed tears, felt a second break, and somehow her heart felt bad. Vannesa was silent unmoved with the coldness of the room temperature, Vannesa looked at the bracelet she was holding. The bracelet should be at Rio's auction right now, but time won't allow Vannesa to give the bracelet to Rio.

***

This afternoon the rain fell on the earth, Vannesa forgot not to bring an umbrella while she came home late due to overtime. Vannesa ran to a bus stop near the company, where she was alone.

Vannesa recalled that the encounter between the two of them with Rio back then was also the same as this time. Vannesa decided to walk to her apartment. Without realizing it, Vannesa was already crying. In the rain only wanted Vannesa to convey that it would still come down to cover her face which was currently covered with tears. It felt crowded inside his chest, letting go was a very difficult thing for Vannesa to do.
