Stains In Love
Not For Betrayal

Stella looked out through the large glass of her study. The lights of the city seemed to shine brightly among the darkness of the night. It's eight o'clock in the evening, the streets were not as crowded as they were two hours ago. However, from where she stood, Stella could still hear the earthy sound of a horn.

A few days later, Stella accidentally went home late. The woman even always waited until the office employee had come home and she was going home. As for tonight, Stella is still in the office even though the other office employees have come home from three hours ago. As if not afraid of being alone in the office, Stella remained silent as she looked out the window of her room.

Stella's reason for doing that was one, which was to avoid Garry. These days Garry is always waiting for him out of the office. If you don't see Stella, Garry's gonna call and beg Stella to meet. Every day, Stella had to make sure that if Garry really was gone she would come home. Stella was very surprised why Garry did not give up even though he had always ignored. Garry behaves as if she loves him deeply and does not want to lose him, but she is also the reason Stella went away from him.

“You still haven't come home?”

The question made Stella surprised and just flipped her body. Stella's eyes were rounded when she saw Davin leaning against the wall near the door and staring at her.

‘Didn't Davin have gone home? What the hell is he doing here? Is she still also secretly watching me?’ stella asked in her heart.

“You haven't come home, Sir?” ask Stella.

“You didn't answer my question,” Davin replied while raising her next eyebrow. “I heard from the security guard you also often come home later.” Davin, who doesn't want Stella to realize that she's still watching him, makes excuses.

Stella averted her eyes, reluctant to reply to Davin's remarks.

Davin put his hand in his pants pocket. Then get closer to Stella. “Come, I'll take you home,” he said, offering a ride.

Stella shakes. “No need. I still want to be here for a while,” politely decline.

“Alright then. Don't come home too late, in this office a lot of ghosts,” said Davin then out of his study.

Hearing that, Stella looked around her. The room looked ten times more creepy after Davin said there were a lot of ghosts there. The woman quickly grabbed her bag, then walked following Davin out of the study. 

“She still wants to be here?” sindir Davin while holding back his laughter.

Stella rolled her eyes and walked ahead of Davin in the elevator.

The elevator took Davin and Stella down to the ground floor. When he was about to leave the office, Stella's eyes were rounded. He found Garry's car still parked not far from there.

“Why is Garry still here?” stella asked, stopping her steps.

Seeing Stella stop her steps, Davin frowned. He only understood what was really the reason for Stella after seeing the car parked in front of her office. 'Why doesn't anyone tell me if it's not a job, but she's the reason Stella's been overtime lately, ' her inner self is upset at her man.

Without thinking twice, Stella nodded and did what Davin told her to do.

"There's no chance for you" muttered Davin staring at the restless Garry waiting for Stella.

***

After that day, Garry didn't stop contacting him. The tired Stella finally gives up and invites Garry to meet at a restaurant.

When Stella arrived at the restaurant, Garry was waiting for her.

“Stella, finally you want to meet me,” said Garry happy.

Stella pulled the chair, then sat down. “I don't have much time. Just tell me what you want to say,” Stella said coldly, Stella does not want to look weak especially in front of the two people who have hurt her.

Garry smiled wryly. The Stella sitting before him right now was not the Stella he used to know. This Stella is no longer the woman who cares and is patient with her. It is no longer the woman who always gives the best love and smile for her. She had turned into a strict woman and probably hated her. Garry doesn't like Stella's cold attitude towards him. But, he also realized that this had all happened because of his mistake.

“I want to apologize. What Feby and I did might hurt you. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have done it. I'm sorry," said Garry.

Stella remained silent, giving Garry a chance to speak.

“During this time, I felt that you were too restrictive of our relationship. You didn't even allow me to touch you, that's why I was tempted when Feby came to give me what I needed as a man, this was the start of my affair with Feby.” Garry was honest.

Stella snorted loudly. “So this is all my fault?" spicy pedicab.

“No, Stella. Don't get me wrong.” Garry took his breath. “I should be able to appreciate your decision and patiently wait until the right time. But, I was so stupid that lust destroyed me. I'm really sorry.”

“You know for yourself, ‘kan, Gar? I will forgive all wrongdoing, unless it is treason. I cannot accept such a thing as treason. I love you so much, and you repay me by betraying me even more with the people closest to me,” Stella replied.

“I know, I'm sorry. Is there no chance for me?” asked Garry shamelessly. “I promise I'll change. I'll do whatever you ask as long as you forgive me.”

“Stop chasing me, Gar. Even if I like you or forgive you, I will never come back to you. Everything is done when you hurt me,” Stella replied in a landslide.

Without both of them noticing, Davin was watching them from a distance. The man smiled when he found out Stella would not go back to Garry. 'I don't misunderstand you, ' her inner self.
