Monday has arrived, now is the time for Are to return to his seat of greatness to complete the work that is ready to take his time. His fingers shrewdly danced over his computer keyboard, his eyes constantly staring at the white screen that read a lot of words that made Are dizzy himself.
Tok tok tok tok
" In." Speak Are.
Chequek...
Are gazes at the door which turns out to be Jodi, the confidant of Mami Valen who was the teacher for Are all this time. Jodi is a handsome twenty-seven-year-old man who turns Are into a competent leader and is able to expand his company within a year.
" I'm sorry if I interrupt your time Miss, there are guests who would like to meet Miss." Jodi said politely.
" It doesn't matter, who wants to see me?" Tanya Are looked at Jodi.
" Mister Erald." Jodi Sahut.
" What? Is Erald here?" Ask Are surprised.
" Yes Miss, he's in the lobby waiting for your approval to go upstairs." Jodi.
" Tell him that I'm busy and can't accept guests today." Speak Are.
" But he said he wanted to see you because of the important thing Miss, maybe this is about the cooperation we just established with his company." Jodi.
" If it's about cooperation he can talk about it with Raga or you right? Why should I?" Tanya Are looked at Jodi.
" I'm sorry Miss, I'm just guessing." Jodi Sahut.
" Now come out! I have to finish the job." Speak Are.
" Okay, Miss, I'm sorry." Pamit Jodi leaves Are's room.
"You'll see how I can make you sleep, Brother Er." Inner Are smiling smirk.
Are monitoring Erald via cctv recording. There Jodi was approaching Erald.
" I'm sorry, Mr. Erald, Miss Are is unable to accept guests." Jodi looked at Erald.
" Why?" Erald asked to face Jodi.
" Miss Are is doing a lot of work, sir." Jodi Sahut.
" That's just the reason she's got." Erald walked to the elevator.
" Sir wait." Call Jodi to make Erald stop.
" It's my personal business Jodi, keep your limits and don't get in my way! I'm here on Mami Valen's orders." Pressing Erald left Jodi unable to do anything.
" Okay, sir, sorry." Jodi.
Erald continued his steps, He went up to the tenth floor where the room of Are was located. After exiting the elevator, Erald walked towards Are's room.
Chequek.....
Erald opened the door, without a stale base Erald went inside. Are who was sitting in his chair turned towards Erald who was approaching him.
" Are I want to apologize to you, I...
" I forgive you, now go." Drive Are to cut off Erald's speech.
" I beg Are not to avoid me anymore." Erald.
" You lost that opportunity a year ago." Speak Are.
" Please don't bring up the incident a year ago again, I regret it Are, I regret leaving my love here, now I come to pick up my love, I beg Are not to refuse me anymore, I love you Re, I love you so much with all my heart." Erald.
" I also want to apologize for last night, I can't control myself when I'm around you, my heart wants you Are, I love you." Erald approaching Are.
Are moving now the two face each other.
" I've apologized to you, and didn't you just say you've forgiven me, so please don't need to mention that, just get here... I just want to talk about our future." Erald looked at Are.
" Well I won't bring up the past again, now go." Sahut Are's.
Erald cupped Are's face, He looked at Are with a loving look. For a moment the two stared at each other with their own feelings.
Both hearts beat so fast. Are was unable to control his feelings. Clear liquid dripped on Are's cheeks.
" Why are you crying? Did I hurt you again? I'm sorry Are if I hurt you again I'm sorry, I never had the intention to hurt you Are." Erald hugged Are.
" Hix.... Hicks....." Isak Are's.
" Please don't cry Re, I can't see your tears, I can't see the sadness in your eyes." Erald.
Are still sobbing in Erald's arms. He breathed out the longing that had been tormenting his mind through his tears. In fact He lost, He could not resist the charm of Erald for too long. Enough for one year. Are they both equally tormented? Erald had no power to hold back his tears. He shed tears feeling the sadness that Are was feeling at this moment.
" Never hate me Re, I will not be strong enough to hold back the hatred you gave me, I love you baby, I love you with all my heart, the woman I love is you, the woman I consider my lover is you, and the woman I want to marry one year is you." Erald.
" Why can you think like that?" Tanya Are took off her embrace. He looked at Erald's tear-filled face.
" Because I have faith that you will be mine someday, I have a sincere love for you, I love you so much and please don't hate me anymore." Erald's words pulled Are's body back into his arms.
" I hate you because you made me unable to forget you all this time, I hate you because you stayed away from me, I hate you because you chose to leave me, I hate you because you made me endure longs all night for this one year, I hate you because your shadow cannot disappear from my dream, I hate you because you tormented me with this feeling, she said, I hate you Brother Er, I hate you." Speak Are at length.
" Now that I come near to you, now that I have come to remove the longing in your heart, now I have come to heal the wound that I once inflicted in your heart, now that I have come to make your dream come true, now that I have come to remove the torment in your heart for this feeling, now there is no reason for you to hate me anymore, she said, so from now on let's open a new chapter for a happy future, now let's step together to pick up that loving happiness." Erald.
Are taking off Erald's embrace. He looked at Erald's face to seek sincerity from there.
" Do you really love me?" Ask Are.
" I love you so much." Erald.
" How much do you love me?" Ask Are.
" As much as I love my mother." Erald.
" What are you going to do to get my love?" Ask Are.
" I'll do anything for you." Erald.
" Are you going to sacrifice your life for my life?" Ask Are.
" Of course." Erald.
" It's my turn to ask you." Erald.
" What?" Ask Are.
" Do you love me too Aresha Wijaya?" Erald asked looking at Are.
" No." Are's voice made Erald frown.
" Are don't lie to me and lie to yourself, tell me the truth Are, please." Erald.
" That's the reality, Mr. Erald." Are made Erald's heart melt.
" No way, I'll ask you one more time, do you love me Are?" Ask Erald.
" No." Sahut Are's.
Erald's heart felt dead hearing Are's reply. Doesn't Are really love him anymore? If this is true, it is his fault. He left Are just like that when Are expressed his feelings. Did Are's heart die at that moment? Then what did Are mean to say all that earlier? Why would he say if he missed Erald all this time? Are you trying to lie to him?
" Are I'm going to ask you again, this is the last question and your answer I'm going to take as the real answer." Erald hoped Are would change the answer.
" Just ask then my answer will remain the same." Said Are.
" Just answer what's right in your heart because I won't ask you again, and I'll step back if you don't love me, so use this opportunity well Are." Erald.
" Are do you love me Aresha Wijaya?" Ask Erald again.
