My Culun CEO
Among Doubt

There's no word I can say, Nate. I'm mute. I was even too scared when I remembered my true self.

I lied to Tarjo a lot. Then, is it true that Tarjo also kept a secret from me? That dummy guy? Can he keep a secret? Why don't I trust all this?

"Shey!"

Nathan brought me back to the real world. The world I am now facing.

"I don't think .. he would do something like that, Nate." I replied with a little doubt there.

I couldn't understand Nathan's facial expression. Was he disappointed with my answer? For sure after I answered her curiosity, she chose to leave my room.

I sighed rudely. I go back to bed. I'm holding my phone still black. There's nothing there. Maybe Tarjo is angry. Or maybe he is busy. I choose to rest my body that feels tired. I closed my eyes hoping that when I woke up, I had good news.

...💟💟💟...

My footsteps are getting heavier, Shei. I don't know if this is all right or wrong. To be sure, lying to you is wrong. When can I stop all this?

"Nate!"

That's Brother Boy. He called. I came back to my senses from my daydream.

"You didn't go with Sheila?" ask Brother Boy to me.

I'm shaking. "Sheila wanted to sleep longer. Looks like he's exhausted."

"Oh yeah? He was used to long-haul flights. Didn't he live in America?"

I put my shoulder out. For sure after this there is only Sheila and I in this big house. Everyone seems to be enjoying their vacation. While me? I am still struggling with my own worries.

"We're all going. The kids want to take a walk. And the ladies, want to go shopping. You take care of Sheila! Never do anything more or you..."

"Sister! I'm not that kind of guy even though I want to."

"Goody! Keep the trust of your mom and dad. Then, what about that geek? You stopped being him, didn't you?"

I'm mute. Just like Sheila did.

Brother Boy shook his head slowly. Looks like he knows that I still haven't stopped being Tarjo.

"Yes already! Take responsibility for what you've done, okay?"

"Yes, Brother."

I waved at the troupe that was going to have some fun.

"If Sheila wants to catch up with us, you just drop her off, kid!" mom's message to me.

"Yes, Ma."

Mama kissed me on the cheek then got into a small bus that was deliberately rented for the holidays this time.

I went inside the house. I stared at Sheila's room whose door was closed. It seems true that he fell asleep again. I'd better check out Harvey's work. Whether he can handle the job well or not.

...💟💟💟...

The next day, the,

After yesterday there were no meaningful conversations between Nathan and Sheila, Sheila decided to travel around Paris today.

Yesterday all day he just stayed home and slept. Sheila asks Nathan to drive her around. Nathan was very prepared.

They just go both ways without anyone bothering. Looks like the parents did this on purpose to Nathan and Sheila.

Nathan takes Sheila for a ride around the famous streets of Paris. Nathan explains one by one the buildings that stand along the street. Now they choose to get out of the car to be able to enjoy their vacation more.

They walked down the street until they arrived at Luxembourg Park. This park is quite large in many tourists visit. Nathan invites Sheila to sit on a bench in the park. But Sheila refused.

Sheila's feet still want to keep going. Until they arrive at a historic cafe, Cafe Le Procope.

Sheila was interested in entering it. Not only can we eat food, here we can also reminisce with the history of the French Revolution.

Sheila enjoys the atmosphere of the cafe. Nathan just stared at the girl without blinking.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" sheila asked as she sipped her warm chocolate.

Nathan shook his head. He himself did not know what he was thinking. He just wanted to make this girl understand his feelings.

"You want to go to the Eiffel Tower?" nathan asked suddenly.

"Let's go there!" take Nathan.

"But..." Sheila couldn't resist because Nathan's hand was holding her tight.

"Nate, what are we going there for?" sheila asked nervously. The Eiffel Tower is an icon of Paris. And there are usually many couples spending time together.

Sheila was scared and nervous. He's afraid that his heart won't be okay if Nathan takes him there.

The day has changed night. The atmosphere of Paris in winter is very beautiful. The Eiffel Tower is visited by many people. Lights dotted the area.

Sheila sneezed because she was not used to the cold air. It had been a very long time since he last felt winter while living in America first.

"Nate, let's just go home!" sheila Pinta. Sheila's nose turned red as the girl continued to wipe her.

"You cold?" Nathan took off the scarf he was wearing and he wrapped it around Sheila's neck.

"Eh? No need, Nate. I'm fine" Sheila refused, but Nathan kept pushing her.

"Don't argue! If you're sick then I'll be sad."

"Eh? Saddened?" Sheila looked at Nathan. Her eyes implied a deep love for Sheila. He immediately turned away. He doesn't want to get carried away.

Around them several pairs of tides were making out. And that makes Sheila uncomfortable.

"Shey!" call Nathan.

Sheila looked at the man.

"Can you see my heart?" asked the man with a red face.

"I want to start over, Shei. I know we started badly. We made too many deals, I know I was wrong. I was wrong to still remember about Celia. But now in my heart there is only you, Shei. Believe me!"

Sheila quiet. He doesn't know what to say. He turned his back on his face but Nathan prevented it. She covered Sheila's face. He wanted to look at his girl's face.

"Speak! I'll take whatever you say."

"Nate..."

"I will accept whatever your decision is. But, even if you reject me, I will still fight for you."

"I'm .. I'm confused, Nate. I don't know what to do. It's the first time I've ever felt in love, and it's worrying me."

Nathan smiled. "It's okay. Just ask your heart. Did you choose me or that man!"

Sheila nodded. Nathan gives a warm hug to Sheila. He will try to understand Sheila's decision.

For today, everything is enough. Nathan understands enough that he's in Sheila's heart. But on the other hand, Tarjo was also there. Hmm, that means you're Sheila's love, Nate.

...💟💟💟...

The holidays are over. A new year is waiting. Now everyone is back to their activities. Nathan is getting busy because at the beginning of the year many contracts enter for cooperation.

Every day he goes out with Harvey and leaves Sheila alone in the office. In this lonely moment, Sheila felt like she missed Tarjo. It has been a long time since they met.

It turns out that Tarjo has moved out of his rented house. No one knows where the geeky guy went. Sheila once asked the workshop employee, but they said Tarjo had resigned and returned to his village.

His cell phone number is inactive. Sheila was sad to have to part ways like this.

The doubt reappeared. He was doubtful of his heart which he said was tethered to Nathan. He doubted that he had managed to get Tarjo out of his heart.

Tarjo is Sheila's first love. People say first love is hard to forget.

"Jo, you have to explain everything to me! You can't just leave like this! Where are you, Jo? Do you know, I suffered so much..."

Sheila called Tarjo's number again, but the result was the same. He slammed his phone.

The sound of sobs filled his office. Sheila was crying alone.

Without Sheila noticing, someone heard all the screams of her heart from behind the door.
