Amor Prohibido (Forbidden Love)
You're just my past

Casey and Isaiah are at a boutique where she is picking out a dress to wear tonight at Mr Moralez's birthday party.

While Isaiah was sitting waiting for his lover while reading the news on his cell phone, his eyes occasionally looked into the fitting room of his clothes. When Casey came out of the room, Isaiah's eyes did not blink to see the dress she was wearing.

"Wow." A word of admiration came out from Isaiah's lips, his eyes still fixed on staring at the lover.

"Does this fit my body?" casey asked as she approached Isaiah.

"Of course, you look so pretty." Isaiah held Casey's hand and twisted the woman's body. "So perfect" Isaiah whispered as he held Casey.

"Thank you." Casey removed Isaiah's hand from her waist and blinked her next eye while walking towards the fitting room.

Finished choosing the dress, Casey and Isaiah return to the hotel. He hung the dress and lay down beside Isaiah and placed his head on the chest of the lover's field.

"Tomorrow the day after we returned to America, the most important thing is that we already know the company's finances, also I've asked Edgar and Naima to keep reporting to me if anything suspicious," casey said by stroking Isaiah's chest.

"Yes, I also have to make a site plan and prepare a budget for this mega project financing," Isaiah said while holding Casey's hand on his stomach.

The night Isaiah and Casey go to Mr Moralez's residence, they will initially use the company's car but Mr Moralez's assistant asks the driver to pick up the couple.

Casey and Isaiah arrive at Mr. Moralez's Mansion, the assistant immediately escorting the couple to meet with his superiors.

"Finally, the guest I've been waiting for has finally arrived." Mr. Moralez was very pleased, he welcomed Casey and Isaiah and introduced to his business colleagues.

Casey's hand never separated from Isaiah's arm, the woman continued to stick to the lover because of the hadiths at the party were many beautiful women.

"Happy birthday, sir," Casey said as Mr. Moralez stood before him and Isaiah. Casey reached out to shake hands with the man.

"Thank you, Miss. You're so pretty." Mr. Moralez praised Casey while kissing the back of the woman's hand.

"Happy birthday" Isaiah said, shaking hands with Mr Moralez.

"Thank you." Mr. Moralez signaled to his assistant to call his wife and two children. He wants to introduce them to Casey and Isaiah.

While from the distance a man was watching Casey's affection for Isaiah. He did not expect the woman he admired to already have a lover, with a shaky step he left the party.

Mr. Moralez saw his wife and daughter walking towards him, he smiled and held the woman's hand.

"This is my wife and daughter. Her name's Jossie." Casey and Isaiah smiled at the two women and shook hands.

"Casey, nice to meet you." Casey introduces himself to the wife and daughter of Mr. Moralez. So did Isaiah.

"It's nice to meet you" the wife told Casey and Isaiah, smiling.

"Where's my son?" asked Mr. Moralez while looking around for his son.

"So I saw him standing over there, but now where he is" said Jossie, with his hands pointing to where the older brother was standing.

"Maybe he's in the house" said the wife, holding Mr Moralez's hand.

Mr. Moralez prefers to serve Casey and Isaiah than any other business partner, the man did it because he had heard from the assistant that the company that Casey led would hold a big project so Mr. Moralez wanted to take Casey's heart.

"Are you going to live in this town?" mr. Moralez asked Casey while taking the red wine brought by the waiter.

"Um, no. Tomorrow the day after tomorrow we have to go back to America" Casey replied, smiling at the waiter who gave him red wine.

"Oh .. I see, too soon too soon to return." Mr. Moralez gestured for the assistant to approach.

"Take my meeting tomorrow with Casey and book the best restaurant in town" whispered Mr. Moralez then he invited Casey to talk again.

Late at night, Isaiah and Casey say goodbye to Mr. Moralez, and the man's private driver escorts the couple to the hotel.

****

Casey and Isaiah leave early for the office, there's work they both have to finish before returning to America. The door was knocked and Edgar came in and greeted Casey.

"Good morning, miss," said Edgar, placing a map on the table.

"Yes, good morning" Casey replied, opening the map Edgar had given him. "Oh yes, tomorrow I and Isaiah will return to America, I ask you to report every day to me" Casey told his assistant.

"Good, Miss. Oh yeah, Mr. Moralez's assistant called me and said that his boss wanted to see you." Casey raised her head to look at Edgar with a frown.

"Is it important?" ask Casey by closing the map.

"She just said she wanted to see you." Casey nodded slowly then leaned back in the work chair.

"What time?" Back Casey asked as his eyes glanced at Isaiah's room.

"Around eleven," replied Edgar.

"All right, just tell me they've come." Edgar bowed and left Casey.

Back the woman opened the map and checked the report she had asked Edgar. Sometimes he frowned because there was something he did not understand.

"Distinct output," murmured Casey and took the pen and crossed it out.

Casey will report to Mr. Smith and Frank about the company's finances, Casey suspects the director has misappropriated the company's money.

By noon, Edgar came in and told Casey that Mr. Moralez was already in the meeting room. Casey immediately rushed there, he did not want to make this gentleman master wait for long.

As she walked in, Casey was shocked to see a man sitting near Mr. Moralez. Casey knew the man very well, quickly changed his face and smiled at Mr. Moralez.

"There's no need to stand up" Casey said, pulling up a chair and sitting down.

"Thank you, oh yeah, this is my son, his name is Zelo." Casey smiled at Zelo and shook hands with the man.

"It's nice to meet you" Casey said, expanding her smile to relieve nervousness.

"Sama-sama," Zelo replied as he sat down again.

Casey and Zelo pretended not to know each other, as the woman chatted with Mr. Moralez Zelo's eyes could not be seen the former lover.

Casey pretended not to know that Zelo always glanced at him, usually when meeting with people who have been with us there must be other debates but for Casey not. He seemed ordinary when he met his ex.

Maybe others will find it hard to forget the relationship that was established for almost four years, but not for Casey. Right now the man in front of her is only the past she has buried, Isaiah for Casey is the future.

He was nervous because he was surprised Zelo was the son of Mr. Moralez but after that he showed a calm attitude and even looked very relaxed.

Unlike Zelo, he was very happy to see Casey in a good state. Even though she knows Casey is engaged, Zelo is sure she will come back to him. Zelo thinks that Casey still loves him.

"Oh yeah, Babe. This is Zelo, son of Mr. Moralez." Isaiah immediately stood up and greeted Zelo.

"It's nice to meet you" Isaiah said, then sat down.

"Thank you" said Zelo, smiling at Isaiah as he sat back down.

"Oh yes, Miss Casey. I'd like to invite the two of you to lunch together, I've asked the assistant to book the place" Moralez said. The man had no idea Casey and Isaiah hadn't turned him down.

"Ow, fine and thank you" Casey said with a glance at Isaiah and gestured to the man with a nod of his head.

Casey and Isaiah were planning to go to a restaurant to try to sample the menu he saw in the commercial but when Mr. Moralez invited them both Casey canceled it.

Finally Casey and Isaiah followed Mr. Moralez's invitation, they went to the restaurant in separate cars. Isaiah and Casey used the vehicles the company had provided them to use while in Venezuela.

Arriving at a restaurant in European style, Casey and Isaiah follow Mr. Moralez and Zelo from behind. The assistant deliberately ordered a vip room to be more free to talk.

Casey and Isaiah sat side by side while Mr Moralez and Zelo sat right in front of the couple.

While waiting for the food that has been ordered first by their assistants talking about work. When Casey wanted to show Mr. Moralez something, he was looking for his cell phone.

"My phone's left in the car." Casey took the car keys and stood up leaving the vip room.

Along with Zelo's phone rang, the man also stood up and went outside. He saw Casey opening the car door, Zelo stuffed the cheek into his pants pocket and walked up to Casey.

Actually Zelo did not receive a call from anyone, he deliberately rang the ringtone as if someone contacted him even though Zelo tricks to be able to talk to the ex outside.

As Casey neared, Zelo pulled the woman's hand to go with him. He took Casey near the middle of his car.

"What's wrong?" casey asked with a frown staring at Zelo.

Really at this moment Casey had no feelings for Zelo, she was calmly facing the man.

"Why did you leave me?" Zelo actually already knew the reason for Casey but he wanted to hear it directly from the mouth of the ex he still considered his lover.

"Did Diaz not tell you?" casey asked with her eyes fixed on Zelo.

"Diaz told me."

"Then why are you still asking," Casey said with a flat face.

"I just want to hear from you." Zelo grabbed Casey's hand and grasped it but quickly the woman let go.

"What Diaz said is all true, and I beg of you please don't bother me anymore" Casey pinta turned around wanting to leave Zelo but the man quickly restrained Casey's arm.

"Please don't leave me." Casey's steps stopped hearing Zelo's pleas. "Casey, I love you so much. When you left I was so tormented."

"Sorry, Zelo. I can't." Casey turned her body towards Zelo and looked at the man.

"I love Isaiah so much, even when!" Zelo bowed his heart feeling in the pinch hearing the rejection from the woman he loved so much.

"Didn't you love me anymore?" zelo asked as he walked over to Casey.

"No, right now all I have in my heart is Isaiah. Zelo you're just my past, forget me and live your life" Casey suggested but Zelo shook his head.

"It can't be that fast that you've forgotten me, our relationship is almost four years old and you're so easy to say that you don't love me anymore." Zelo shook his head and looked at Casey.

"Yes our relationship was almost four years, but once I met Isaiah I didn't know if it was that long I loved you or not." Casey's expression made Zelo look at the woman in surprise.

"You mean?" asked Zelo with a frown.

"Look, Zelo. When I first met you at the University, there was absolutely no sense whatsoever, I knew you were trying to get close to me." Zelo was silent at Casey's words.

"I also know you saved me from Jaime and Orland for liking me, which is why I tried to open my heart to you but that doesn't mean I love you." Casey's expression made Zelo's heart very sick.

"If it's not love for what do you give your virgin to me?" zelo asked, turning his eyes elsewhere, not wanting to show Casey that his eyes were starting to turn red.

"I was thinking, maybe giving my virgin to you could make me fall in love with you. But it turns out what I thought was wrong." Casey kept bringing out what was on her mind for the man to know and not hope anymore.

"I'm trying to fall in love with you, when it starts to work you betray me instead. There I was so disappointed, I cried because I did not like being betrayed. Actually it was my chance to leave you, but when you were rocked by Felix and his comrades, I didn't have the heart and chose to hang on with you-"

"When you're not with me, I never worry about you going out with another woman or feeling jealous and I try to make myself fall in love with you by always making love with you. But again, when the feeling began, you'd rather have your friend than save me." Zelo swallowed the saliva heavily hearing all of what the girl revealed.

"You know, I made the decision to leave you forever. Mumpung I don't love you too much and when I met Isaiah initially just ordinary, but over time my feelings became other-"

"Every time I meet him there are strange thumps in my chest, and always comes the sense of wanting to be around him also wanting to have him. Without me knowing it turns out I'm in love with her." Casey and Zelo had no idea that Isaiah had overheard their conversation.

"When he proposed to me, I didn't turn him down and was very happy. So also when Isaiah invites to stay with him I immediately agree because I want to always be near him." Zelo doesn't believe everything Casey tells him.

Zelo thinks what Casey is saying is just to get herself away from the woman, another thing with Isaiah. He looked very happy to hear Casey's expression of feelings to Zelo. He quickly returned to the restaurant.

Isaiah went to find Casey because the food was available at the table and did not want Mr. Moralez to wait long. While in the parking lot near their car, Isaiah heard Casey's voice and slowly approached and eavesdropped on the lover's conversation with his ex.

While Casey and Zelo were still beside the car, the woman kept trying to ask Zelo to forget about her.

"Everything you say is just to get me away from you, but actually in your heart you still love me." Casey smiled smirk seeing Zelo overconfident.

"It's up to you, but for sure I love Isaiah very much and there's no way I'm going back to you. Oh yeah isn't your father named Mr Alvin why is this your father Mr Moralez?" Casey doesn't want to talk about her past anymore, so she switches the conversation.

"If in Spain they call him Mr. Alvin but here he calls his last name Moralez" Zelo replied with a bow to his face.

"Funny too yeah, almost four years together but don't know your last name." Casey deliberately said so that Zelo knew that the woman had not wanted to know who she was.

"Alright, I have to go back inside. Your father must be waiting for us." Casey leaves Zelo and enters the restaurant leading to the vip room.

"I'm sorry I waited so long, I found my phone dropped under the chair" Casey lied, not knowing that Isaiah was eavesdropping on his conversation with Zelo.

"It's okay" said Mr Moralez, smiling.

Not long after Zelo entered and sat beside Mr. Moralez, he glanced at Casey and Isaiah especially the ring that was circular on the sweet finger of the lovers.
