The Broken Ring's
No More Having a Chance

Lalita finally took Erick to a cafe located not far from the hotel where she was staying. Although reluctant to talk to Erick again because he felt there was nothing to talk about, but this time he chose to give up and listen to Erick speak for the last time.

"What are you talking about?" lalita asked after taking a sip of orange juice in front of her.

Since then, Erick seemed to have not yet made a sound, but before the man said he wanted to speak from heart to heart with Lalita.

Erick slightly sighed. It was obvious that he was nervous and had trouble starting the conversation.

"What do you want to talk about, Erick? Why do you look so nervous?" ask Lalita again while frowning.

"I submitted my resignation this morning. I resigned from your papa hotel" Erick later said.

"Then?" Lalita still showed a face that did not understand.

Erick raised his face. He was a bit unexpected when he saw Lalita did not show the slightest expression of surprise when he said he had resigned from the hotel owned by Arfan, considering that Lalita had been the person who most supported his career there.

"I will start a new life without the shadow of your father again. I'll build my own business." Erick told me back.

Lailta was stunned for a moment. He tried to feel where Erick was talking this time.

"Goodoo. We all need to start a new, more comfortable life" Lalita responded.

Again Erick seemed to show an unexpected expression. He even looked a little confused and hesitant to continue the conversation.

"Is this all you want to tell me, Erick?" lalita asked after Erick didn't say anything more.

"If there's nothing you want to talk about anymore, excuse me. See you at our next trial." Lalita added as she got up from her seat.

"Don't go, Lita. There's still something I want to say" Erick exclaimed, holding Lalita's arm.

Lalita urung stepped up and stared at the arm that Erick was blocking.

"Sorry," Erick muttered as he quickly removed his hand. "Please, sit down first. I haven't told you the truth I want to say."

I don't want Lalita to sit down. His eyes turned towards Erick.

Erick himself also sat back in his chair. The man seemed to gasp at Lalita's eyes, which now looked very different. No more blazing and loving eyes like Erick sees every time Lalita stares at him. Cold and unfriendly. That was the aura that Lalita gave off that Erick was feeling right now.

"Give me one more chance, Lita." Erick finally ventured to say what he wanted to say earlier.

"I know I've never been a good husband to you. I don't change like a bitch who can live by sticking to your papa. But this time, I will try to stand on my own two feet. Although I may not be able to achieve the kind of achievement your father gave me, but at least I will try to be a more responsible man. Please give me a chance to prove what I am saying right now. I promise I'll fix everything, Lita," Erick said in an imploring tone.

Lailta stunned. All his life, he never imagined Erick would talk so softly to him while showing a sad look, as if the man was very afraid of losing himself.

"Lita, we start all over again, yeah." This time Erick even grabbed Lalita's hand and clasped her fingers tightly.

Lalita can feel the warm hand Erick grasping his fingers. The little thing he had hoped for, but never got. Even a bitter and sliced smile unconsciously fell on the young woman's lips. He feels funny himself by what Erick is doing to him right now.

"There are some things that you misunderstand, Erick," Lalita said, then as she pulled her hand until her fingers slipped from Erick's grasp.

"First, I never thought of you as a prankster, past or present. Second, I did not file a divorce lawsuit with the court to sulk or seek your attention, but it was indeed a decision I took after careful thought. And finally, I'm not interested in repeating the story from the beginning with someone who loves to die to another woman." Lalita said calmly, but looked full of confidence.

"I've loved you so much, Erick. I don't even mind your attitude towards me. But of course it was before I knew that in your heart there was another woman, the worst of which was my own brother. Maybe there are many women who are willing to suffer in order to survive with the man she loves, even though she knows that the man does not love her at all. But obviously I don't belong to such a group of women. I don't want to die of love. Who else would appreciate me, if not me. So, I suggest it's better now that you don't come to see me just to say such a useless thing." Lalita added again.

This time Erick was made flabbergasted by every word spoken by Lalita.

"Lita, I know you're angry and disappointed right now. I won't ask you to forgive me either. Does our marriage have to end like this? Marriage is sacred, Lita. It can't just end because it's not wanted anymore" Erick responded.

Lalita laughed when she heard that.

"You should have said that to yourself, Erick. I'm sure you remember everything you said to Risa on our wedding anniversary night. Aren't you the one who wanted to divorce me? Didn't you say that you couldn't afford to live with me anymore? You also said that our marriage was a cursed marriage. Aye, right?" Lalita exclaimed somewhat emotionally.

"One thing I really can't forget, Erick. You even told Risa if every time you touched me, you even imagined that I was her ..," Lalita said again in a slightly trembling voice.

Erick gasp. Of course he remembered every word that came out of his mouth back then. Of course there was nothing he could say to defend himself because all of his words were cruel.

"Just get here, Erick. I hope, after this you will no longer complicate the course of the trial. Not only do you want to be free, I am the same. Let's live each other's lives without incriminating each other."

Lalita got back up from her seat, and this time Erick did not try to prevent it as before.

"Compared to keep looking for me, maybe you better look for Sister Risa. She is now leaving home with Mom. I don't know where they're going and they won't take calls from me. You must remember that she is the woman you love and now she needs you. You know what to do when the woman you love is in trouble." Lalita re-added before completely leaving in the presence of Erick.

Erick himself seemed confused by the look of a face that could not be described with words. Despite the information about Larisa that he had heard just now, one thing he understood right now regarding his relationship with Lalita, he no longer had the chance.
