Male Charm Storage
Come home!

Gloria stepped slowly, her head bowed. He thought about how Owen would respond if he found out about his condition. Disappointed? Getting angry? Or it's just normal because Owen can get another woman better than him.

Until he arrived at the front of the stairs, he could hear the voice of the man he so longed for calling his name.

"Gloria..."

With her grief, Gloria tried to convince herself of what she wanted to tell Owen about a decision she had chosen.

Gloria came down the steps, one by one, slowly but surely she finally arrived in front of the man, Owen Zwart, the man who had filled her heart that had been hurt by the camouflage of marriage with Richard.

Richard cleared his throat next to Gloria's body.

"Speak, I only gave fifteen minutes, no more," Richard stroked Gloria's shoulder at a glance.

Before actually leaving Gloria and Owen, Richard again whispered something into Gloria's ear.

"Think! Only I can accept your condition. We're both imperfect, we're gonna have a better day together."

After whispering, Richard withdrew from before the two. Give space and time, which he believes if Gloria will definitely not come back to Owen because he will be the winner.

"Let's go home!" Instead of asking something, Owen immediately invited Gloria to leave from there, making Gloria flinch with it.

Owen looked at Gloria who was flinching in her place. "You why? Let's go back to the apartment!" her door.

Gloria shakes. "Can I hold you?" tanyanya diverted the conversation.

Hearing that, Owen gave no answer but immediately carried Gloria in his arms.

"I miss you" said Owen in Gloria's ear. While the woman nodded in her male field. He misses Owen too much, inhaling the masculine scent of the man's aftershave, the scent he memorizes - making him tighten his arms even more between them. He really missed Owen more than anything.

Owen held Gloria tightly, how long did he leave Gloria? Aweek? Why does it feel like half a year? His longing could not be lost by just hugging a moment like this, he wanted to be back with Gloria in the following days. Undergoing activities with the shadow of this woman is quite torturing him, so he does not want to separate again even if only for a moment.

"Did he hurt you? Tell me!" Suddenly Owen cupped Gloria's cheeks together, looking at her fixedly and seriously.

It felt like Gloria wanted to complain to her lover about what had happened to her, but she could not do it because she thought about the impact after the complaint.

"Why are you quiet?" Owen urged Gloria to open her voice. Gloria just smiled a thin smile.

"All right, I know you're not happy here. Let's go home! I won't leave you again, if I leave I'll take you."

Gloria shook her head, then she broke the distance between them, making Owen frown in wonder at her Gloria attitude.

Like being struck by lightning, Gloria's words made Owen freeze in his place. What the hell's been going on? Why did Gloria answer that?

"Gloria...?"

"Go back to your place, Owen! Your place isn't here, it's my place."

Owen shook his head loudly. Just now Gloria asked him to hug, why now does Gloria sound cold to him?

"You're not happy here, how can I let you stay here, Gloria!"

"I'm happy or not, it's none of your business..."

"What do you mean?"

"The relationship between us should be over. I have to go back to my nature as a wife."

"No! What the fuck are you doing, you dumping me?"

Gloria nodded, she had come to a decision. It was better that he left Owen than that man labelled her a dirty woman, someday.

"Gloria! You forgot your promise, huh?"

I'm sorry Owen, I'd rather break your promise than you'll break your promise to me. You promised you wouldn't hurt me, right? But what promise will you keep if one day you know my present condition? - inner Gloria.

Gloria shuffled, not answering the man's question. He turned around, then climbed the steps of the stairs to reach the top floor.

Owen sat down, not expecting Gloria to leave him this way. Too soon, not even ten minutes they talked to each other to release the longing that had tortured the soul.

"If this is your decision, I'll accept it. I hope you're happy with your choice."

Owen moved with a feeling of heartache. He left Richard's house. He did not expect, it turns out Richard was able to take Gloria's heart back, until Gloria could renege on the promise she had said repeatedly.

Gloria did not dare to turn around to stare at Owen's departure. He chose to enter the room, closed the door and sobbed behind it.

Actually, he was not satisfied to hug Owen. He did not let go of his longing, but he was grateful that he could finally speak and even touch the man for the last time.
