Woman, Don't Go From Me
CH - 22
"Sucks.." The muttering Citra who arrived stopped while sweeping the floor of Andreas' room.
"Currently.. Really ridiculous!"
"Can be! Even my chest was still pounding with thump just from looking at his bed. What happened to me. Am I going crazy?" He looked at the ash-coloured spring bed with that cylindrical pattern.
"Haihhh.." Image shook his head. He threw away his mind that was filled with Andreas's face. Throwing away the shadow of her thick eyebrows, her beautiful beads, the look of her sharp eyes as well as her red lips.
"Cannot.. Can't keep this up."
He put down his broom and started mopping downstairs up. For a moment he rested, then wiped the glass in Andreas' room and also the drawers in his closet. He did not want to see any dust, because he was aware of his work. When opening the bottom drawer his eyes were fixed on one object.
He recognized the object, a necklace with a circle with a small jewel in the middle. It is not a luxury item, even it is just an imitation item that can be found in various accessories stores. But what was special about it was that it was something his father gave him before the accident separated them. The thing that the market has been made special because behind a circle pendant that looks ordinary, it is actually his father's wedding ring.
The dreamy image of the round pendant was checking something inside the circle. And sure enough in the circle of the pendant there are initials the name of his father and mother.
"Dad? Is Dad hugging me now?"
The smiling image had to clutch the thing inside his chest. For years she had been looking for it, and now she had accidentally found it in her husband's closet drawer.
What an unexpected thing. How could it be in Andreas' closet drawer. He remembers the last time he used it was in an accident five years ago. It has something to do with Andrew. Looks like Citra should ask her husband about it later tonight. He should know the reason Andreas kept something precious of his.

"Huh.. Who keeps calling like this! Don't know I'm washing dishes anymore." The image quickly washed his soap-stained hands and dried them with a cloth hanging in front of him. He then took his phone in his pants pocket.
"Huh Andreas? Why did you call."
His heart started to beat
rebar when sliding the call button. He smiled as if something was blooming in his heart.
"Yes Hello?" Sapa Citra's. But it doesn't sound right from there.
A few moments later.
"Hello.."
"What's up Andre? Is anyone missing?"
"Eng.. No papa anyway. I'm taking a break."
"Then?"
"Eat the food you make."
"Oh yeah? Can you eat while calling?" Reply to Citra with a smile back on her lips.
"Khemm.. I'll see you tonight."
"What the hell is that?" The image speaks staring at his phone.
"He just called to say that? Does that matter? Why is it that he's getting weird at the end. He's weird and I'm weird too.." The image shook his head and then turned on the faucet to resume washing the dishes.

The meeting was going on, all eyes were on Andreas who was presenting in front. Although the lower face is covered with a mask due to an overnight wound, but the sound of his voice still echoed of course with the help of a microphone. His face was so authoritative and resolute as he focused on talking to his clients.
The meeting went smoothly until just before the meeting ended, the sound of the door being knocked. And it showed two men in their full black suits walking into the meeting room. All eyes were on the two men.
"Excuse me, sorry for your attention for a second!" One of the men spoke. She was Julian's secretary, a confidant of sam's for the rest of his life. He is the right hand man who is trusted to guide his son to manage the hotel and mall.
"This introduction is Haris Parasta, the eldest son of lord Bimantara Yudatama. This is the future who will be the main leader of our hotels and malls." Continue while looking at the clients who are still sitting at their respective tables.
Andreas looked at the man with a pias face. While Haris grinned at him. Haris who once insisted on refusing to lead the hotel and mall by arriving and serving as the supreme leader. I don't know what he's planning.
Regarding ability, Haris is no doubt. But at the moment everyone knows that the supreme leader is Andreas, not him.
"We know Mr. Andreas is more experienced, so please cooperate." Secretary Julian said.
Andreas nodded in salute to the man who was the same age as his father.
After Haris' introduction as supreme leader, the meeting was over. The clients shook hands with Haris, welcoming his arrival at the office. Some even suddenly looked for face.
A few minutes later the room was empty, leaving only Andreas and Haris.
"What your goal is actually bang!" Andreas said without looking at his brother.
"What indeed? I'm just following my mother's request for nerusin hotel." Haris folded his hands and glanced at Andreas cynically.
"Gue knows that's not what you're aiming for. You used to say you were not interested in this hotel and mall and you prefer to work in a small company that often nugasin you out of town right."
"It's good that you know. The point is that if you nyia nyiain Citra, I will make it difficult in the future." Hiss Haris.
"Ohh so he is? Pantes. I know you won't give it up."
"Lo should know that. A little bit there is a gap, I will benefit the gap as well as good. " Haris said before exiting the meeting room leaving Andreas alone.
Andreas squeezed his hand at Haris' short speech. He doesn't talk much like before. Now he misses the figure of Haris who often commented and warm. He also hated himself for making all this happen. If only time could play, maybe none of this would happen. Maybe now he'll come back laughing with his brother.
FLECKISH
The door opened from the outside before Andrew opened it. Someone enter.
"Hi darling.. " Call a beautiful woman with long hair and a blue dress.
