The End of Long
The Part 39

After Mas Andre said goodbye, I immediately went to the room to call Awan, this is actually what I wanted to do since then. But I don't want Mas Andre to know that I'm calling Awan. That's why I have to wait for him to come home.

"Hello" I heard the clouds welcome my call

"Hello Wan it's me Chacha"

"Cha is this right you? I've been waiting for news from you since" came the excitement from the sound of the clouds

"Sorry Wan was Mas Andre took me home, and only now can I call because he just got home"

"What did he say Cha?"

"Nothing, it seems like he was angry so since then he just kept quiet and busy completing his work"

"You take it easy first, let me talk to Andre later"

"But Wan I'm really scared that he won't let me go"

"Cha you calm down first, don't think no first. Bair I'll finish it all"

"No Wan the problem is me and Mas Andre is because of my mistake, I can't just be quiet to see you solve everything"

"Cha you believe me?"

"Yes"

"I know you've been suffering with my problems with Laura, so this time let me settle it with Mas Andre"

"But Wan.."

"Cha I won't let us part, I will do anything to be with you. Even if I have to trade it for my life"

"Woman don't say that!"

"Sorry, I just want to spend the rest of my life with you. Even if I had to exchange it for my life"

Listen to what just said Clouds of tears just flowed down my cheeks "I want Wan too"

"Cha you don't cry, I don't want to see you cry anymore. Now you rest, don't think about anything. Everything's gonna be okay, I promise"

"Wan. I miss you"

"I miss you more, I promise you won't miss me anymore, because later I'll always be by your side no matter what"

I don't know why I slept well tonight. Maybe it was because the Clouds calmed me down or because I was sleepy because I couldn't sleep at all last night.

-ooOoo-oo

Today I was ready earlier than usual, last night Awan had promised to take me to breakfast together before leaving for the office. My feet took two steps back in shock as soon as I opened the door to go out to meet the Clouds it turned out that Mas Andre was already standing in front of the door.

"Where are you going early in the morning?" Ask Andre

"Em.. to the office" I answered nervously because I didn't expect him to be this early

"No need to go to the office until the engagement is over, I asked Mr. Robby for permission yesterday"

"Mas can't do that, I work with Mr. Robby why Mas meddles with my work problems" I said annoyed, it looks like Mas Andre is limiting my space to meet with Awan.

"Sir Robby understands that we're preparing for our engagement"

"But Mas.."

Andre ignored what I wanted to say, he pulled my hand and closed the apartment door.

"Where are we going?" I'm confused

"I'd like to take you to check out our engagement preparations"

"Mas please listen to me..."

Andre grabbed both my shoulders and pushed me against the wall. I was surprised what he wanted to do. From the look in her eyes looking at me with anger "Listen to Lika, until whenever I will never let go of you, I told you when you accepted my proposal!"

"But then I thought that Laura was pregnant.."

"I don't care, they're married or not" I saw Mas Andre's eyes start red, this time it's not anger that is visible, but I felt sadness in those eyes.

Right now I can't bear to argue with him, because like he just said that I was the one who wanted this engagement.

That's why I let Mas Andre hold my hand now, I just think about how to get the message to Awan that I can't meet him right now.

"Cha.." The clouds called me when Mas Andre told me to get into his car.

Seeing the Clouds approaching us, Andre forced me to get into the car and closed the door.

I couldn't hear what they were talking about because Mas Andre locked the door from the outside so I wouldn't go out to meet the Clouds. When viewed from the face of Mas Andre he tried to restrain his emotions when talking to the clouds. He left the Clouds just like that even though the Clouds are still talking to him.

"Bag.."

"Enough Lika! I don't want to discuss this matter anymore" Mas Andre wouldn't listen to me. Mas Andre drove the car in a fit of annoyance leaving the Clouds still standing there

Mas Andre took me to his father's hotel where our engagement will take place, when we see the preparation has reached ninety percent. Seeing all this my heart ached at the thought of having to part with the Clouds. There is no way to unite my love and the clouds.

Mas Andre was still holding my hand as we left the hotel ballroom. It seemed that he did not want to let go of my hand for even a second.

"Sorry Mr. Andre" I heard a woman running after us both.

"What's wrong" replied Andre.

"The father was asked to meet Mr. Santoso in his room"

The clouds still holding my hand were about to take me to Papa's room.

"Sorry sir, said Mr. Santoso to talk about work"

I understand the meaning of these women's words, if I can't go inside because Papa Mas Andre wants to talk to Mas Andre alone.

"This is my future wife" said Mas Andre did not care

"Yes later if it is finished immediately after Papa's room yes"

I'm just nodding. After seeing Mas Andre enter the room, I just left the secretary room after saying I want to go out for a while. I didn't want to go to the toilet, I just wanted to leave them both talking to be freer without my presence. That's why I chose the hotel lobby to wait for Mas Andre to finish.

As soon as the elevator door opened, I was surprised to see the Clouds already standing in front. He took my hand to get me out of here. I don't know where my common sense is right now because I just want to be invited by the Clouds without thinking that Mas Andre must be looking for me after he finished talking to his Papa.

"Where do you know I'm here?" I was confused after I got in the Awan car.

"So I followed you, only in this way could I meet you"

"Where are we going?"

"Where am I from with you" said Awan smiling and driving his car.

It is clear that the Cloud is so happy because it managed to take me.

"Wan you don't work today?"

"My heart is more important now" that smile I haven't seen on his face in a long time

My phone rings, I don't want to see it because I'm sure it must be from Mas Andre. The clouds glanced at me "Why not be lifted?"

"This is definitely from Mas Andre"

"Let me answer"

I hesitated to get my phone out in the bag, what would happen if Mas Andre found out that I left with Clouds.

"She's gonna keep calling if I don't pick her up, you don't want our date a fucked-up day because she keeps calling"

I hesitantly gave my phone to Awan, because at the moment I don't know what to say with Mas Andre.

"Hello Mas, this is Cloud. Chacha is with me right now"

"Well you're crazy, she's my fiancee." cried Mas Andre.

"Sorry Mas this is the only way I can be with Chacha. Sorry again if I have to turn it off"

Without asking for approval from Mas Andre Awan shut down my phone. Let's just say what he just did, because right now I really want to be with the Clouds. I do not care if later Mas Andre will be angry, to be with the Clouds I am willing to get any difficulties even I do not think about the views of people about me. I don't know maybe this love is driving me crazy.

All day we just spend time together, we really enjoy our time together even though we just eat, watch and walk. After dinner Awan drove me back to the apartment. Just like before, the clouds always hold my hand.

Our laughter stopped when we saw Mas Andre already sitting in the living room waiting for my arrival. My heart stopped when I saw Mas Andre looking at me with anger in his eyes. I saw him holding his hand and walking towards us.

"Don't be afraid Cha, I'm here" whispered the Clouds. He must have felt the change that was happening to me. How could I be okay, right now my fiance is in front of me while I just left it to go with Clouds.

I flinched towards Mas Andre because he suddenly just pulled my hand.

"Lika, now you're in the room!" mas Andre said, I actually kind of wonder why Mas Andre is not angry with me.

"But Mas.."

"Lika, right now I don't want to hear anything from you!" Andre cut my conversation.

The clouds let go of my hand, but I clasped his hand back because I was afraid of what Mas Andre would do to the Clouds.

"That's why you came in first. Let me do the talking with .."

"But Wan..."

"Cha you believe me, right?"

My hand was gripped tightly by Mas Andre, I saw flashes of anger in his eyes towards the Clouds. He pulled me into the room even though I wanted to stay here, I didn't want them to fight. My gaze kept on the Clouds, he was trying to win me from the look in his eyes if nothing would happen.

After I was in Mas Andre's room pulling the door lock, I tried to block him but he turned out faster.

"Mas open..They open!" kugedor locked the door of the room Mas Andre locked from outside.

He ignored my screams. Looks like a free shout, because he won't open the door. I was worried about what was going on outside between Cloud and Mas Andre. I stuck my ear in the keyhole to hear what they were talking about.

"Mas I'm sorry for bringing Chacha without your permission" Awan said.

"For this time I forgive you for what you have done, but I will never forgive you again until you repeat this!"

"Please let Chacha go, don't tie him to this engagement"

"I didn't forcibly bind him, he himself was willing to accept me!"

"That's because yesterday she thought.."

"I don't care, for me now he's mine"

"Mas knows that Cha loves me very much.."

"I don't care who Lika loves for, because for me she's with me and I'll make her happy!"

"Yes..."

"Quite Wan, my patience can run out if you keep going like this. So I ask you to leave this place and never think of approaching Lika again. Because until I'm not gonna let him go"

"As I beg you to let Chacha go, I will do whatever it takes for Mas to let Chacha go"

My chest ached when I heard what Cloud had just said. My tears just flowed into my cheeks.

"Enough Wan!" mas Andre. "I don't need anything from you, with you not being by Lika's side anymore I'd be very grateful. And you should know that I am willing to lose anything including my property as long as I can be with Lika. So we don't have to offer anything because all I need is Lika"

"As I loved Chacha from then on until now, I would trade the rest of my life as long as I could be with her for even a little while"

My legs were limp when I heard Cloud say, my heart really hurts. So much love Awan had for me that he was willing to trade his life just to be with me. I sat there unable to support my body anymore, my cries unstoppable. I closed my mouth so that my crying voice would not be heard until it came out. I don't want them to worry about hearing my cries. Enough for me has made them have to face all this because of my stupid decision.

I was confused to make my decision, if I forced together this Cloud is not fair to Mas Andre because I have accepted him as my fiancee. While being with Mas Andre will hurt Awan and myself because we both love so much. Right now I can only pray that Mas Andre can let me release me to be with the Clouds.

The clouds are gone, for I hear no more of his voice. I wiped my tears, then sat down to the sofa in the middle. I don't want Mas Andre to see me in this state.
