PoV Nilam
After I successfully conducted the interview, I walked slowly towards the company president's room, where it should be Aldi's room. If it wasn't an order from Mr. Erfandi asking me to go to his room, I wouldn't have liked to have met Aldi. Especially after what almost happened to us in the study room yesterday.
'I am your stepdaughter now Nilam, not your lover. You broke my heart and now I just want to break your heart.'
No matter what I do, those words cannot disappear from my mind. However I always tried my best to erase all those thoughts from my head because I had long accepted, if Aldi and I would not be able to possibly unite.
I took a breath and exhaled slowly before I stepped into a room that belonged to Aldi. What I saw was something I had never thought of before. It was Aldi and Sarah, they seemed to be kissing in Aldi's room and they looked so close. They immediately broke away, probably because of my presence. But I felt so hurt by what I saw.
"You.... What are you doing here?"
I heard Sarah's voice, but suddenly my ears went deaf. At that moment I could hear nothing but buzzing in my ears.
"I came here just to hand over some documents." I finally did not think about what Sarah had told me.
I just want to get out of that room quickly. But I don't want to see them find out how hurt I was at the time. Not in front of Sarah, not in front of Aldi.
"Mr Erfandi asked me to give this to you." I said quickly and placed the document on Aldi's desk without looking at them.
I walked out as fast as I could because if I didn't, I might just cry in front of them. Of course it would be embarrassing for me.
'Nilam, you can't cry. You have to get stronger.'
I repeated the same sentence several times to myself. But I don't think it can work at all.
My tears just want to keep falling. I felt that I was so desperate back then and my heart wanted to fall into a pool. The pool that might be my tears. I think that I've moved on and because I still have feelings for Aldi doesn't mean that I can't live without him. But I was wrong and I know my heart is hurting. My heart is very hurt right now.
"Lila, can you come here?" I called Lila when I was under a tree with tears falling down my cheek.
"Nilam, what happened?" Ask Lila.
"Lila this is very painful. My heart is badly hurt." My speech.
"Nilam, tell me where you are and I'll pick you up." Lila.
I told Lila where I was and after 5 or 10 minutes, I couldn't figure it out for sure, Lila came so quickly to see me.
"Priest....." Shouted Lila.
"Lila...." I cried and hugged her.
I really need a hug from him right now. I need this more than anything.
"Nilam, what's going on? Who's the one who hurt you?" Ask Lila.
"I lost her Lila. I'm really losing him now." I cried loudly and told Lila everything that had just happened to me.
It took me almost an hour or two before I could calm myself down and take the water bottle Lila offered me.
"Are you okay now?" Lila asked me so attentively.
"Yes, I think I really need to cry a little. I need to finally realize that I really lost Aldi." My speech.
"Priest...." Lila.
"It's okay Lila. I'm fine now. So there's nothing to worry about me." I tried my best to convince Lila by giving Lila the warmest and brightest smile of my lips.
"Are you sure because...."
"Yes, I'm sure of that." My words cut Lila's words. "I was hurt when I saw Aldi with the woman and it was because I only realized that I couldn't move on from her yet." Continue me.
"How now?" Ask Lila.
"Now I think I still love him. But I would rather agree with my heart that there is no future for us. Even if Aldi forgives me and asks me to go back to him, I can still just say no. It's all for the good of my sister and my son because they're my family." My speech.
"Priest..."
"It's over, Lila. It's over between me and Aldi." My speech.
Yes, everything is true. The sooner I accept this fact, the better it will be for me. Leon and my brother's life are still restrained by someone I don't know who supports my evil aunt and her family.
"Priest...." Say Lila again.
"Oh, it's too late. Leon must be worried if I don't come home soon. Thank you for coming, Lila. I'll see you next time." My speech.
I walked away from Lila quickly after giving her a warm hug. My journey home was pretty quiet. I just want to go back home and take a cold shower. I was on the way to my room when I met Aldi in the living room. I just wanted to get away from him and not say anything. But he was holding my waist.
"Wait...!!" Her speech.
"What do you want from me?" I said and quickly regretted why I spoke first.
"Why did you leave the company all of a sudden?" Ask Aldi.
"What do you mean by saying that I left all of a sudden? I only had a job there so I left after my job was done." My speech.
"Oh so because of that." Reply Aldi.
"Now take your hand off me. I'm tired and I need a break in my room." My speech.
"What if I don't want to?" Reply Aldi.
"Aldi Erfandi, you already have a lover. So why are you still coming near me?" My speech.
"Well lover!"
I don't know why, but I can feel that Aldi just smirked at me. Anyhow before I could react, Aldi suddenly pulled me closer towards him and pushed me against the wall.
"Ah Aldi, you son of a bitch." My speech.
"Well, I've always been a jerk to you Nilam." Her speech.
My eyes widened when I heard him say that. It's just how long I haven't said that to him. I miss that so much that I want her to say it to me again.
"Priest.... Are you crying?"
My eyes widened and I wanted to get away from him. But his hand was so tight in my body.
"What are you doing? Unhand me!" My speech.
"Why are you crying? Is it because...."
He looked at my eyes so sharply.
"Don't think too highly of yourself Aldi. I'm not crying because of you." I said and he smiled.
His smile seemed to be so smirking to me.
"You lied to yourself Nilam. I didn't even say anything and you...."
"Go away... Get away from me, please..." My speech.
"Are you sure that's what you want?" Said Aldi holding my chin and then he held my hand behind my back.
It made it impossible for me to get away from him he was so close to me that I felt that my breath had been taken by him. I felt paralyzed by his hand.
"Mama..."
I immediately froze or rather in fact we were both so shocked after hearing a small voice that distracted us. Leon seemed to be standing in the hallway looking at us holding his toy. His eyes were staring at us full of curiosity.
"What's your mom doing?"
Seriate....
