_______________


YO!! YO!!


I spewed all the food I had just eaten into the bathroom closet. After everything was done I sat on the toilet floor. Seeking air and relaxing muscles.


“Hah.., hah,” my breath is wheezing because this sickening process does drain a lot of energy. It made my breath and heart beat so fast.


TOK TOK....


Sounded someone knocking on my toilet cubicle door right now, “Kanna, are you okay?”


Ah, it turns out that Orela, the senior of one of my colleges, is now the secretary of my fiance, Zean. I immediately rushed up and shouted to answer him, “I'm fine!”


After dousing everything I came out to meet Orela, she looked at me with a pity face. I don't like that look.


“Did you catch a cold? Or maybe pregnant?” asked Orela, is continuing to follow me curiously.


Huh, shit, why did he have to come when I just spewed out all my stomach contents? I can't brush my teeth so my breath doesn't smell.


“Do not make up for Orela, I still want to finish college and continue my ideals, besides who am I pregnant with?” I finally decided to wash my hands. I stared at Orela's face from the mirror above the row of sinks.


“Who else? Mr Zeallah! You're engaged.”


“Ck, I just don't feel well!”


“So you catch a cold?”


“Yes, bloating, maybe my stomach is flattened,” I replied, there's no way I'm telling him I'm a bulimia*.


“Why are you here?”


“Lord Zean looking for you.”


We both went back down the corridor of Zean's office building. The building is huge and has many departments. Zean is a successful man, he built himself a sizable trading company in the city of J. I've only been engaged to her for the past six months. Zean was a rich and well-established man, he immediately proposed to me during our first month of dating. He thought there was no harm in bonding the relationship first. It was approved by my parents.


“Isn't he established and you're old enough?” papa said when he forced me to accept his proposal.


Finally I decided to accept her proposal, I made the condition that we get married when I graduated from college. I felt good, because my college was almost done.


CLAMPS!


After knocking a few times. The door of Zean's room was opened by Orela, he let me in and nodded before leaving.


“Where are you from, baby?” asked Zean in the middle of his activity to check the documents.


“I'm from the toilet,” I replied as I approached the large glass window at the end of the room. I could see the hustle and bustle of the vehicle in front of the office, the traffic jam always visible on the streets of the capital.


“After?”


“I fix make up -ku.”


I saw Zean's reflection off the glass. His face was handsome and a little westernized. He still has European blood. Either from his grandfather or grandmother. His eyes are hazel brown, the corners of his eyes are sharp and his nose is pointed. His hair is also brown like his eyes, intersecting undercut models that make him look so manly.


Zean put down his pen and approached me. He hugged my waist from behind, without hesitation he kissed my neck. His hot breath on the nape of the head made me shake. Zean was an expert at making me feel admired and wanted him too.


“No, not in the office, Zean. People can see us,” reject me, I bite my pretty nails. The reflection of my shadow and himself was plastered on the sea-blue tampred glass in front of us.


“Nope, darling. I just wanted to give you something.” Zean raised his hand, and a chain necklace fell down.


“Zean?!” I shut my mouth in disbelief, a necklace from the VCA that just launched. That necklace is worth nearly 500 million at most. And Zean gave it to me.


I immediately twisted my body and hugged her tightly. Zeanpun did the same. He smiled and put a necklace with a four-piece pendant model bearing diamond grains around it, on my neck.


“You look so charming, Kanna. You're the perfect woman.” compliment Zean, her praise even makes me lose my expression. I'm not a perfect woman, I'm full of flaws. Zean never knew my true form, he only knew my changed figure.


“Kanna? Kanna's? Why are you silent?” Zean flicked his hand in front of me. His expression was confused.


“Sorry, Zean. I only remember the past,” my smile knots.


“Oh, what's with your past?”


“I remember the sad times because I was poor, so many insulted me. Now even around my neck is a necklace worth hundreds of millions, so ironic,” my pretext, I don't want her to know that I used to be a ugly, fat woman.


“Who insulted you, Kanna? I'll make them pay.” Zean knitted his brows.


Why is she so good to me? Makes me feel guilty for lying to her like this. Even his feelings were not completely sincere to him.


“I've forgiven them, Zean.” I turned my body back and saw my reflection on the window.


Who's the lady? Who is standing in front of me right now? Women with body duster, facial beauty, are also full of luxury items.


Is that me?!


Is he still, Kanna? The poor Kanna and the fat bab1 who were harassed by the people?


“I don't even know who I am?” thought contemptible.


“Kanna, are you daydreaming again?!” Zean raised his voice a little so that I would wake up.


“Sorry, Zean. Why is my heart a little bit calm?!” I stepped closer to Zean who was back at his desk.


“Should we shop to make your heart taste better?” Zean got up, put his pen back on and pulled out the car keys.


“Shopping?”


“Yes, there is a porcelain exhibition. How about we take a look around? If you like, we can buy it to fill the interior of our new home.” Zean took my hand.


“Alright,” I said excited.


We circled the streets of the capital, a little stiff because lunch was over. Zean drove his fancy sports car himself until we stopped at an art gallery. Zean said there is a fairly large pottery exhibition, the artist has just risen lately thanks to the help of the gallery owner.


“Say Uncle Julius, he's very talented. Ceramics and porcelain made so beautiful.” Zean continued to praise the artists recommended by his Uncle.


Ceramic art, huh? I haven't seen ceramic art in a long time. Leon used to be a ceramic artist too, he was still an amateur. Although I think his work is so beautiful, but unfortunately Leon's family is too simple to help him develop his talent.


“I haven't seen Leon in a long time, how's it going, huh? Is he still mad at me?” I thought in my heart.


Zean parked the car and helped me out. Heels 10 cm does make me trouble down the sports car because the body of the car is short.


“Thanks, Zean.”


“Welcome,dear .”


We went in and looked around, the art gallery was filled with many people who were also curious about the work of this new artist. I guess the atmosphere will be a little quiet like most art galleries in general. But it turns out quite boisterous, some collectors and journalists look to admire the work of the artist.


“Wah, many also turned out.” Zean took me deeper.


We looked around at flower vases, gucci, tea pot sets, plates, wall hangings, and so on. I walked slower behind Zean. Every now and then I twist my finger that is flat on the lips of gucci, feeling the averageness of its surface. Leon once said, the flatter and smoother the lips of gucci, the better the result.


“Who is the name of the artist?” I circled his works hoping to get a note with the name of the artist. But everything is empty, only the name of the work and also the stamp of the symbol of ownership.


Just wait!! Why is the stamp of the symbol of ownership of the work pictured a lion? The red symbol is shaped like a lion's head with an expanding mane.


Don't tell me that young artist...,


“Hallo, Sir. My name is Leon.”


DEG...,


I can feel my heartbeat beating irregularly. It turns out to be true, Leonlah the artist.


I turned my body slowly, making sure that it wasn't him standing there. But again my prayer was not answered. Leon was already standing in front of Zean, he was accompanied by Julius, Uncle of Zean.


“I, Zean.” Zean shakes Leon's hand which is stuck on him.


I froze, watching his existence as if skinning my conscience. I once disappointed that man.


“Kanna!! Kanna, come here, baby!!” Zean surprised me. With weight I stepped closer to the three of them.


“Kanna.” I still feel trembling and pounding.


“You are so beautiful, Kanna. Deserve Zean is crazy about you.” praise Julius.


“Thank you, Uncle.”


“I'm very smart looking for a prospective wife, Uncle?” Zean smiled proudly.


“This Leon. The genius artist who made all these wonderful works.” Zean turned his eyes to Leon. He continued to praise Leon's skills. He introduced me to her.


“Hallo, Kanna. My name is Leon.” he said casually, he could stretch out his hand as if there had never been any relationship between us.


“Ka..., Kanna,” I answered stammeringly.


“How's your business, Zean?”


“Pretty good, Uncle.”


“Diana how are you?”


“Kakak abroad, continue his career.”


“It's been 4 years since he knew Arvin. I thought Diana would never be able to move on.” Julius breathed heavily.


“She's fine now, Uncle.” Zean nodded.


I fell silent, shifting my focus to their conversation. But I feel roaming with that conversation. All I know is Diana's name, she's Zean's older sister. Creator make up, I worked with him once. Diana had long been treated by psychiatrists for her career and love to run aground. Now he seems to have recovered and chose to continue his life in the land of people.


“Oh, yes, Zean. I have a new business. Can we talk for a second? I want to use your trading services.” Julius patted Zean on the shoulder and pulled him over to the other side of the gallery.


“Good, please continue the talk, I will return to the office.” Leon told the three of us, Julius and Zean nodded while giving a polite smile, only I was silent.


Her departure made my heart relieved, I don't know what to say to her. It was my fault that our relationship became broken like this. It's not his fault for assuming he never knew me before. Maybe even I feel relieved because Leon will not disturb my relationship with Zean.


“Play around, Kanna. You can buy everything you want.” Zean whispered and kissed my cheeks softly.


“Good, Zean,” I replied.


I left the two of them who were currently engrossed in talking about their business. I chose to leave because I didn't understand what they were talking about. Business is not passion - I.


I'm circling that art gallery. Beautiful vases, beautiful ceramic equipment, as well as various photos of the work displayed so neat. I admire Leon's work. He always made his ceramic files so beautiful. The touch of his hand was indeed incredible, he was truly a talented man.


SRETT!!!


“Ach..!” I was about to suffocate in shock, but a hand covered my mouth.


“Silence, Kanna! Follow me!” whispered someone from behind.


I started to get scared when I found out that it was Leon who dragged me into a deserted corridor behind the gallery building.


We entered a room that read staff only. A place where artists correct their injured work while traveling. Other than the masterpiece owner, there was no way anyone would dare to enter here.


“Leon?!” I asked for an explanation as soon as he let go of his grip.


“Hallo, Kanna. Long time no see.” scary grin scratched on his handsome face.


“What are you doing? Why did you drag me here?”


“Wah, well, Kanna seems to dislike the existence of a Leon now.” Leon walked over to me.


I stepped back, until I finally slipped on the cold wall behind me. My steps are up, Leon's getting closer. Until finally his breath feels hot touching my skin. I closed my eyes and lowered my head to avoid his heart-piercing gaze.


“Why were you that scared when you met me, Kanna?” Leon stroked my face.


“Leon, please don't do this!”


“You're afraid I dismantle our relationship first in front of your wooden girlfriend?” Leon lifted my chin so that our gaze would meet.


“Leon, please, forgive me.”


“You dumped me for the guy. You dumped me because you are now beautiful and famous.” Leon drew his face closer, he kissed me on the cheek. The wet and warm feeling stuck in there long enough.


“Leon, please. Someone might see us,”, I tried to push his body away from me.


“Kanna, don't know how much I've suffered without you?” Leon kissed my neck, now his hand rubbed his shoulder and went down in front of my chest, deftly he unbuttoned my blouse.


“LEON!!” I snapped, I thrashed to fight his piercing.


What does Leon want to do? I can't scream for help because Zean will find out. I can't embarrass Zean in front of so many people.


“Leon!! Just stop!! What do you want?!” I tried to push and pull Leon's hand, trying to stop him from stripping me of my shirt buttons.


But Leon's power was much greater, he locked both my hands above my head. His handsome face looked satisfied with what he was doing. Makes me shudder in fear.


After a sharp grin, Leon sipped my cleavage. Leaving behind some reddish blue kiss marks.


“Leon!!! Stop!!!” I yelled at him, I felt disgusted by his treatment.


“Isn't your beautiful body an asset to tease her?” Leon got up, he let go of his grip.


Immediately I closed the buttons on my shirt and wiped away the tears and tears that began to wet the corners of my eyes.


“You jerk!!” my curse on him.


“I left a mark on you, Kanna. Now see if today you can serve her with your proud body?!” Leon approached me.


THE PLAQUE!


Without hesitation I slapped her cheek. I feel angry and angry. I'm not a cheap woman!! I'm not pel4cur! I didn't serve Zean for his money, I started learning to love him.


“You are indeed baj1ngan, Leon!”


Leon didn't feel guilty, he came back to me until I was cornered. I got more and more frightened, cold sweat coming out from the temples and around my face.


“We'll see, Kanna. He will definitely throw you out after knowing your true form. And with your two feet, you're gonna beg to come back to my side. Apologizing for all your foul behavior!!” Leon held my shoulder, it was very painful.


“Leon!!”


“You can't live without me, Kanna! You know it best!” Leon took off his grip and left me.


I was slumped down and crying. I think I hurt him so deeply. I left him because of Zean. My whole family is against our relationship. They say Leon can't guarantee my life, my happiness, my family. While Zean is an established man, he can definitely make me happy.


At that time Leon continued to fight for our relationship, he continued to hone his skills and hope to bring prosperity to me. But I left him as soon as Zean came into my life. I just left her, Oh, poor Leon, she must have been hurt.


I cry regretting my stupidity.


Ah, maybe Leon is right!!


I'm a pel4cur, I'm a despicable woman.
