Chasing the Love of Alex
Does He Look Happy?

"But now you're already in love with Sonya... Aye right...? And don't tell me it's just a drunken mess... I know very well that's your sincere expression from your heart..."

Alex ruffled her hair, "Yes... Shit man!!! No matter how hard I try to prevent it... I can't help but fall in love with her... I didn't mean to fall in love with her... But in the end I fell in love... And I didn't mean to hurt him either... But in the end I hurt him too.... All this is driving me crazy...!!"

"And the more I loved her the more I had to take her off... Because I don't want Sonya to be fucked because of me...!! Better like this... As long as I can see it... And knew he was still breathing in the same world as me...!! I am willing even if I have to take it off...!! As long as he can be happy..."

"Then would you like to see it like this...?" hardhan asked as he threw a small map towards Alex and once again swiftly Alex caught him.

Alex took out the contents of the map, photos of Sonya while in Milan, Sonya who was sitting pensive in the chair of a park, was taken on a different day in view of the clothes that Sonya was wearing, he said, looks just as pathetic as Alex.

Ah woman bar-barku... My wildcat... Why do you look so sad... You should be looking for happiness there... You have to start a new chapter with a new love...

Alex's sigh in his heart, while looking at sheet by sheet of Sonya's photos.

"Does he look happy...?" ask Hardhan again.

"No... Shit doesn't...!!" alex replied, then his breath choked to see the last few photos, seen there Sonya was sitting alone with another man.

Didn't Alex just want Sonya to start a new chapter with another guy? But seeing Sonya sitting alone with the other man alone made her heart burn with a jealous flame, and Alex with all her might restrained herself from squeezing and tearing the photos apart.

"You know Lex... Women who are fragile are usually easily persuaded...? What if the man had bad intentions with her...? What if the events in Paris are repeated again...? Who will help Sonya when a man wants to work on her...?"

Finally, Alex's anger was provoked, Alex squeezed the photo until it was no longer shaped,

Shit...!! Why does Hardhan have to talk like that anyway...? Makes me worry about it... But what if that guy really had bad intentions with Sonya...? Gee whiz... Sonya was there all by herself...!!!

"I reiterate Lex once again... There are only two things in this life... Love and death... When you're ready to accept it... That means you have to be prepared for the risks... Accepting Rara's love means you have to be ready for the possibility of losing her, whether you're separated because she's turned to another love or separated by death. Death itself cannot be avoided... For every living thing shall die..."

Seeing Alex who was just silent, Hardhan continued,

"Now how do you treat the woman you love... Have you made her happy...? Have you bestowed it with love...? Spoiling him with whatever he wants...? Make him never regret having been born into this world and become your woman...? Makes her the happiest woman in the world...? Until when the time comes, either you or the woman who first left this world... You can be a little more calm, because what? Because you've managed to make your woman happy until death do you part... Or would you prefer your woman to be so hurt and fragile when death do you part...? Life is really simple, Lex... You're the one who insisted on making it complicated..."

"And one more thing... When you hurt someone you love... You'll be tied to him... And in the end it will hurt yourself." Hardhan continued.

"It's too late... I've let her down... I've hurt him... And I doubt he'll ever accept me again." Alex said with a bit of regret.

"You know why Sonya asked me to mutate her to Milan...? That's because he thinks he won't be able to forget you if you still meet often, and still work in the same office... That's a sign Sonya doesn't forget you easily... He told me himself that he loved you very much... I suggest you hug him when you meet him later... It always worked when I calmed Kei down and apologized to him." - Hardan.

"But I doubt it will work on Sonya... He once kicked my junior with his knee when I forced a hug and kissed him...!!" alex said with skepticism.

My bar women are different from most women...

"That is the difference between a woman's reaction to our sincere and coercive attitude... Women do not like to be forced... They prefer to be persuaded and seduced... You have to slow down and be patient... Show your regret in earnest later it will melt away by itself... And never put on a cold face when you're admitting your mistake...!" hardhan said while chuckling.

Alex was silent for a moment, weighing up his decision, "Do I have to follow him to Milan and ask him to come back to me...?" ask Alex.

"Ask yourself... If you're serious about bringing her back I'll let you take as long as you want... I just hope it's not too late for you to get her love back... And as another consideration for you... Ryo agreed to go back and forth to Milan just to continue his project with Sonya, Ryo did not want Sonya replaced with our other employees, it seems he was serious with Sonya... Even more so after she found out Sonya was now a widow..."

Hardhan's answer makes Alex's blood boil, Alex knows Ryo has long harbored feelings for Sonya, but Alex does not expect Ryo will be as persistent as this fight for his love.

"I'm going to Milan tomorrow...!!" alex growled making Hardhan chuckle softly.

"As I suspected... Yes, I'm home now... Last night with you here made me miss my wife and kids... Give my regards to Sonya." Hardan said as he exited Alex's room.

After Hardan left his room, Alex felt that loneliness again. Hardhan is right, by hurting the woman we love, the same as hurting yourself.

And the painful thing about all this for Alex is... It makes something ordinary unusual...

Leaves a small cavity lost in the heart...

Sonya's... Sometimes I don't want to wake up from my sleep... Because you are only present in my dreams... You were no longer here when I opened my eyes... I'm the one who caused you to leave. And it was the biggest mistake of my life to let you go and let you go of my life...

And I got punished for it... I am tormented by missing you... Missed your babbling... Missed arguing with you... Missed everything about you...

Sometimes leaving is the best way to make someone aware that you mean a lot....
