Male Charm Storage
Don't walk away from me

I looked at Gloria who was asleep next to me. His face was so shady, only this time I felt this way. A sense of 'having' that is so strong towards a woman. If I ever fell in love with Zahra, I just wanted to chase after her and get her.

As for Gloria, I realized that she had gotten me, but still, she wasn't really mine.

Have I put more of a taste into this woman? Or is this just because of our recent togetherness?

I don't want to be too quick to interpret feelings, but I also don't want to be late to realize everything.

For now, let us live as well as flowing water, but on the other hand I have to make a decision to commit to our relationship.

Do I want to stay with Gloria or go back to being as alone as I used to be. I will spend the rest of my life in the choices I make.

In her sleep, Gloria suddenly wriggled softly and I immediately grabbed her in my arms.

Would I be willing if I could never feel this way again? Honestly, I was getting used to her presence in the same bed as me.

Gloria who was still asleep reciprocated my treatment by wrapping her hands around my stomach. I smiled to feel it. These circumstances made the empty side of my life feel filled and yes, Gloria filled it.

I kissed the head of this woman many times, inhaling the scent of her hair that always felt fragrant in my smell. Because of this habit, I gradually began to sleepy and washed away in sleep.

In my sleep, I saw Gloria coming to me. She was very beautiful, like wearing white bridal clothes, her brown hair was beautifully stroked. He ran small towards me. While on the other hand, I was waiting for him to directly look at his arrival while stretching both hands to welcome him in the arms.

I still saw Gloria smiling, I returned her smile. We throw each other a beam of happiness out of each other's faces.

Gloria who ran, got closer to me. A little more he'll be in my arms. However, the corner of my eye caught in the other direction. Right behind Gloria's body, stood a man, he was Richard.

Richard appears to be pointing a gun at Gloria's back. Gloria couldn't see it, because Gloria's position was against the man, while I could see it very clearly.

"Gloria?!!" pekiku. I wanted to run, reach Gloria's position to protect the woman, but my legs felt motionless. I was still in place, only my hands flailing but not even able to touch Gloria.

Gloria looked at me in surprise, as I could only pin down her name without being able to tell her what was happening. I also couldn't tell Gloria to dodge immediately, because somehow my lips could only say her name without being able to say another word.

"Gloria?!!!"

Dor ...

DOR ...

Everything feels so fast. I don't know how many times a bullet from Richard's gun went through Gloria's back. I could see it clearly in front of my eyes. I was a witness to this unfortunate incident, but I absolutely could not prevent or protect Gloria, at all.

"Gloria!!"

"Gloria!!!!!"

It's just the name I keep mentioning so many times.

I looked at Gloria's body who immediately staggered because of the shot, then the next incident was like slow motion that felt slow moving.

Gloria fell on the grass where our feet rested. Her wedding dress was drenched in blood, her tiny body floundering like a fish that had just been taken out of the water. Gloria started to lack oxygen, she was looking for air to breathe. My heart was full of seeing it.

However, the smile on her lips did not subside as well, she still looked at me with her warm smile. His position lying on its side seemed to wave as if it wanted to reach me.

The sight was heartbreaking in my eyes. I knew if Gloria wouldn't survive, this was my last moment to see her, but my legs still couldn't move even just to get to Gloria who wasn't that far from my position.

I saw Richard turn around after making sure Gloria took her last breath. For whatever sake, I'm going to pour it into that parat breng sek, which has the heart to take my Gloria's life.

I sat there, staring at Gloria's body lying on its side and not moving anymore.

"Yahoooooo!!!!" Cry broke. In this moment I realized that Gloria was the woman who had managed to make me cry so much.

I curled up while cursing myself, I hated myself who could not save Gloria's life, even protecting her could not.

At a time like this, I felt my body shake. More like being shaken by someone.

"Owen..."

"Owen, are you having a nightmare?"

That sound feels familiar to me. I immediately opened my eyes and found Gloria who looked furious now right in front of me. He held my cheek and occasionally stroked it.

I sat down for a moment, my breath stinging. I realized that I was just dreaming.

Gloria immediately gave me the drinking water she took from the nightstand.

"Drink first" he said softly.

I drank the water in the glass until the toilet in one gulp.

"You're calmer?' gloria looked at me worried.

I'm nodding.

"Alright, now go to sleep again, you're just having a bad dream." Gloria took the glass from my hand, then put it back where it was.

"Well..."

"Yes?"

"I dreamt of you!"

"Yes I know," said Gloria calmly.

"Where do you know that?"

"You're calling my name, you know, you're so noisy." Gloria laughed softly, but I couldn't help but laugh because I was still imagining the dream that had just happened.

"Owen, are you okay?" Gloria looked at me.

"Yes, I'm fine."

"OK," said Gloria, wanting to move on.

"I'm going to the toilet for a minute" he replied.

"Don't leave me!" I looked at her seriously, Gloria smiled slightly and shook her head.

"I'm just going to the toilet, Owen..."

"Let me deliver." I opened the blanket and stood up.

Gloria looked at me in wonder. "Why? What's up?"

"Nothing, I just don't want you to go alone."

Gloria laughing. "What are you actually dreaming about? Why is it so excessive," he said, then headed to where the toilet was.

I followed his steps and waited in front of the bathroom door he had closed.

"I'm not going anywhere, Owen." Gloria was still laughing from behind the door.

A while waiting, before long Gloria came out of the toilet. I immediately confronted him.

"What else?" Gloria gave a smile, perhaps strangely with my chick-like attitude following her mother.

I immediately hugged her, inhaling the scent of her body that I somehow missed when we had been sleeping in the same bed.

"Tell me what you were dreaming about?" sue Gloria while holding both sides of my face.

I shook my head, I didn't want to tell him the details of my nightmare.

"What dream are you?" ask again.

"Bad, very bad."

"Yes, what?"

"The point is, you have to promise me one thing."

"What's that?"

"Don't get away from me, hmm?"

Gloria looked stunned for a while, until she finally nodded at my request.

I broke her hair at a glance. "Let's go to sleep again" I said, holding her hand towards our bed.

Gloria according. I covered her and hugged her body from the side.

Silent.

I thought Gloria was asleep, I couldn't fall asleep after that unpleasant dream.

"Owen, have you seen Richard lately?"

The question from Gloria made me flinch, this is the first time I've ever asked Richard again. In fact, I didn't tell him about my meeting with Richard this afternoon. I also didn't tell Gloria about this cut on the corner of my lip because of Richard. But why did he ask the man? Is she starting to miss her husband now? Ah, why does it feel like I'm upset to call Richard Gloria's husband! Damned!

"Why are you asking? You missed her?" my circus isn't happy.

"Bu-not so!" gloria's Argument.

"Then? You want to meet her?"

"No!"

"So why are you asking him?"

"Owen, why get angry? I just-.just-"

"What only?" cut me fast, how I'm not angry, I just dreamed Gloria was given a shot by the man, now why should Gloria ask.

"I just felt that your injuries had something to do with Richard," Gloria said softly as she lowered her gaze. "I also felt in your dream that you met Richard" he said, looking cautiously.

Yeah, I have to admit if Gloria's guess is true. However, should I admit what happened between me and Richard this afternoon? And about my dreams? I was afraid that Gloria would become alarmed because of Richard's attitude that intended to harm me.

"I didn't meet him. This wound is due to a minor incident in my office. And in that dream, it had nothing to do with Richard. I just dreamed you left me."

Gloria nodded in understanding. A second later he returned.

"So, you really don't want me to leave you, do you?" great-granddaughter Gloria.

"Yes, I can't!" said seriously.

"Then, if you're the one who left me, is it okay?"

I fell silent, I also had no intention of leaving Gloria, at least for the time being I did not have that intention. I don't know if later.

"Maybe if I want to."

"And you want to?"

"For now not."

"It doesn't mean it will." Gloria looked glum.

"Have it, don't think too much." I tried to calm her down by stroking her hair over and over again.

Gloria nodded weakly, a second later she looked at me with her wry eyes. "I understand, from the beginning my position was for you to leave. No problem. I can definitely take it. At least you've treated me very well, thanks, Owen." Gloria smiled faintly, then she moved to sleep on my back.

Gloria's words actually made me think that I was being selfish. I asked him to promise not to leave me, while I could not make a similar promise to him. It's only natural that Gloria would be disappointed in me. But I can't promise anything to him. Let him be disappointed from the beginning so that he does not put more hope in me.
