"Young Master, may I come in? Miss Lily and Miss Zivanna are gone." Dhani's assistant knocked on Albern's workspace door.
There was no reply from Albern, but the door of the room was no longer locked as before, hinting that Assistant Dhani could enter. Albern's subordinate also ventured to open the door of the room and go inside. He saw the boss sitting at his desk with a look that looks empty. The look on Albern's face was no less gloomy compared to Lily's face earlier. The look in her eyes also looked very sad, even more sad than the look in Lily's eyes.
Slowly Assistant Dhani approached towards Albern and slightly bowed his body respectfully. He then placed a bottle of multivitamin that Lily had left on Albern's desk.
"Miss Lily said goodbye and left this to me. He said, Young master don't forget to take care of your health" Assistant Dhani said carefully. He knew very well that at this time Albern was very emotional, so try to convey Lily's message in the best possible way, not to get the wrong word.
"He said that?" Albern asked as he grabbed the multivitamin bottle that Assistant Dhani had placed earlier.
"True, Young Master," said Assistant Dhani.
Albern stared at the multivitamin bottle Lily had left for him. The brand is the same as the one Lily once gave her. Inevitably Albern became remembered on their first date done secretly. Unknowingly her smile was cracking together with her eyes that were becoming teary.
"Did she cry?" ask Albern again.
"No, Mister. Miss Lily did seem to be crying, but she kept trying to smile until she took Miss Zivanna away."
Albern said nothing more. He let out a long sigh while tightening his grip on Lily's multivitamin bottle. He was so anxious to meet the girl and say good-bye before they parted. But Albern was afraid that if he did that, then he couldn't help himself. He was afraid of being shaky.
"It's not too late now that you want to see Miss Lily before she leaves for America" said Assistant Dhani.
Albern lifted his face and looked at Assistant Dhani for a moment, before then he turned his face the other way.
"If I see him today, he'll never make it to America. I definitely won't be able to hold back and make it mine forcibly. And that'll screw it all up." Albern muttered as he once again let out a long sigh.
Dhani's assistant is stunned to imagine how complicated this superior love story is. Though there are many women who want Albern, but the man even wants Lily who is much younger. Then according to Assistant Dhani, both parents Lily is no less strange. At a time when many want Albern as a daughter-in-law, both parents Lily did not even approve of Albern's relationship with her son, until making Lily continue studying abroad.
Regardless of the reason, Assistant Dhani cannot understand the thoughts of these rich people. It seemed like their thinking was too complicated that it was very difficult to understand.
"Dhani, if Lily and I had been apart for a long time and we couldn't contact each other at all, do you think Lily would still be loyal to me?" ask Albern later. His voice sounded a bit desperate.
"Of course, sir. Didn't Miss Lily promise?"
Albern smiled with irony.
"She's young, beautiful and smart. It is easy for men to fall in love with her. If a lot of people come up to him and they're all charming guys, don't you know if he still remembers me?"
"Young Master is the most special man for Miss Lily, so it's very unlikely that Miss Lily will forget about Master. If it wasn't for the sake of being worthy of being with the Young Master, he wouldn't be willing to go as far as he is now, would he?" Assistant Dhani asked back.
For the entire time Albern let out a long breath. Feeling desperate to be separated from Lily, she lost confidence like this. Though previously she had never doubted Lily and was very sure Lily would only look at her.
"I've emptied out all of Young Master's schedules today because I know Young Master is in a state that isn't doing well, so it's better today Young Master rest alone." Dhani's assistant gave advice.
Albern nodded. For the first time he took the advice of his assistant without much protest. It seems that Albern is really tired and needs to rest. Not only his body, his heart and feelings were tired because they had to endure such great feelings for someone who had now gone far away leaving him and did not know when he would return.
"I'll excuse you first, Young Master," said Assistant Dhani as he bowed respectfully, who was responded with a nod from Albern. The man then came out of Albern's study and ordered his subordinate secretaries not to let anyone into the room because Albern was not being disturbed.
Meanwhile, in his study, Albern was leaning his back on the back of the chair while closing his eyes. She tries to rest her body and mind as previously suggested by Assistant Dhani, though so far it has not worked. But then Albern's eyes opened again when he heard the clang on his phone indicating that there was an incoming message.
When checked, it turned out that the message was a message sent by Lily. With his chest beginning to rumble again, Albern read the message.
'Brother Al, I say goodbye, yes. Take good care of your brother. Do not forget to get enough rest and take vitamins. After I send this message, I will get on the plane and this contact number will no longer be active. I will focus on studying, not being able to contact Kak Al even if just asking for news. I also don't know when we'll see each other again. But Brother Al must believe that Brother will always occupy the most special position in my heart. Wait for me, brother. I will definitely go back and look for Al. And I promise, after that it will never go again.'
Albern's tears fell unbearably as he read the word for word Lily wrote for him. After trying half-deadly to contain his feelings, his defense finally collapsed as well. It is so painful to be abandoned by a loved one, even if the person promises to return.
"Good way, Lily. See you back ...." Albern muttered softly with a voice filled with various emotions.

7 Years later ....
A beautiful woman in sunglasses stepped out of the airport dragging her suitcase. Shortly after, a luxury car was seen stopping right in front of the woman. And a man in a black suit came straight out of there.
"Sorry, Miss, I'm late. The streets are severely jammed," said the man, bowing his body.
The woman said nothing, only gesturing if it didn't matter to her. Soon the man opened the car door and let the woman in, then he also entered and sat behind the wheel after taking care of the suitcase carried by the woman he called the lady.
Shortly thereafter, the car drove away from the airport to the city center.
"Have my meeting with the Brylee Group Director been arranged?" ask the woman who is driving.
"Already, Miss. It's confirmed that tomorrow's the day after tomorrow's meeting."
The woman looked stunned for a while, then smiled faintly.
"Good, I can't wait to meet him" he muttered later in a somewhat different tone.
