The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapter 35. I don't want to have a relationship with any man anymore.
“Doctor Graciella. If I could talk. Sorry if the Commander acted that way to you. He forced to protect you because the last time he let someone important to him go without protection he lost that person forever. Therefore, I am sure that the Commander considers you very important to him. I am not defending Him because He is my boss. But I can guarantee that what I say is true. He never worried so much just because of a woman. She wasn't with Miss Malagha either, so you're the first person she's treated like this.”
Graciella was certainly touched by Fredy's confession, but she couldn't let it change her mind. The decision is round. He doesn't want to be in touch with any man anymore.
Unknowingly a crystal-clear tear fell down just as it flowed down his cheek. Warm felt until lost inserting at the end of his lips. Graciella removed it quickly when Laura entered the room.
Laura took a little breath. Graciella wiped her tears. But the wet marks were clearly visible. Especially her eyes that are red.
“What's up? does it hurt?” ask Laura. Sit down and hand Graciella a glass of water.
“No. Just a little pain,” said Graciella immediately took the medicine.
“Not that one, this one.” Laura immediately pointed towards Graciella's chest. Graciella only looked at Laura's finger which was now stuck to a spot in her heart.
Graciella laughed a little but at the same time her tears melted again. His little laugh turned back into a cry. Laura saw it sliced. She hugged Graciella. I don't know what's wrong? Bad luck always comes to Graciella.
“If you like it, why avoid it? Are you afraid of Adrean?” ask Laura.
Graciella did not answer. He spilled first the sadness that suddenly rose due to being disturbed by Laura.
“At our age now, the word like is not enough to build a relationship. What else with a woman like me. You told yourself how beautiful the Xavier family is. You reckon? Will they accept me?” Graciella glanced at Laura who was instantly sour-faced.
She snorted for a moment, “Who the hell sparked the idea if getting married should see it all. Background, education, descent everything, why the hell? why not just see if women are good or not, they love each other or not? not the most needed it to establish a household?” asked Laura who was upset by herself. Why does everyone have to see things like that. “Later on, if I have a son, he is free to want to marry anyone no need to look at the woman how, the important thing is he likes.”
Graciella smiled slightly. “At this moment you can say it. But if later, you also want the best for your son. Surely you will also see, is that woman good for her future? can you name the family name or not? will be a good mother to your grandchildren with a good education anyway, surely you think of it.”
Laura poked her lips until they were cone-shaped. “That's it, I hope I remember about this conversation. If Xavier were my son, I would be happy to receive you.”
“You sure? you sure you let your son who has a bright future be close to a married woman?” ask Graciella again. “What will you think of the first time you hear that?”
Laura bit her lip. Logically he would not like the woman, surely he thought the woman was a seductress. She already has a husband, but is in a relationship with her son. Laura could not say what she thought.
“Ehm .. Then do you want to go back with Adrean? That guy! uh! she can't you say husband.” Laura held her breath. He himself was claustrophobic about Graciella's fate. Why did he have to meet Adrean? Why didn't God just bring him up with Xavier? or anyone who deserves to be called a husband.
Graciella smiled bitterly. “I'm thinking about how to get free from it.”
“If you're not with him. You rejected Xavier too. So who are you with?” ask Laura.
“I don't want to be with anyone. I think living alone would be fun.”
“You want to be a spinster?” graciella asked, frowning her forehead. She smiled at Laura.
“Oh, yes I am a virgin. Do I have to hire a man to sleep with me, so that I don't become a spinster?” laura asked with a contrived questioning face.
“You don't go crazy! There are still many men who want to be with you.” Graciella hit Laura's head so lightly that she grimaced in pain and laughed.
"You too, even if you're a widow, someone will want to be with you!" reply Laura. It was fortunate that Graciella was able to fend it off. They laughed for a moment.
“Laura, I will rest here until I can walk back, can I?”
“Yes sure, this apartment is safe! I'll have you send some guards here. You don't have to be afraid. If we need to, we can use Antony. He must have the best care. I'll also tell the director that you're sick so he can give you permission.”
“No,” said Graciella who made Laura raise one eyebrow. “Can convey my resignation letter.”
“He? You want to resign? Why?”
“Adrean works at the ministry of health. He can definitely control me and can look for me wherever I go. I want to get away from him. I knew even when I died he wouldn't let me go. I didn't expect to get a divorce with him. I just wish I could get away from him. Whatever my status is with him. I just went from him.” Graciella looked into Laura's eyes glazed over. Laura bit her lip.
“That means you can't marry anyone anymore, right? you really mean anything about living without any man anymore?” said Laura who now had her voice become low-pitched. She thought Graciella was just talking about it. Didn't think he was serious.
“Ya.”
Laura bit her lips deeper. Love can hurt someone so deeply. Graciella even had to give up work that had become her dream since childhood. Less is the sacrifice Graciella had to make just so that something called love would no longer hurt her. “Then what do you want to work?”
“I haven't thought about it. You don't have to worry. After I recover I will find a job and pay all that fees as long as I am here.” Graciella slightly smiled looking towards Laura.
“He? Wh-wh-what for? what do you think I'm a best friend? I'm a rich man. No need to pay me. Just save your money to hire the best lawyer possible so you can get divorced with Adrean. It's already! Don't talk about this heartbreak anymore. You sleep so that you can quickly accompany me shopping,” said Laura immediately put on a thick blanket covering Graciella's body. Graciella smiled faintly. She was lucky to have a friend like Laura. “Don't ask me to kiss your forehead, I'm not Xavier,” Laura's tease again saw Graciella watching her from earlier.
“You're what the hell?” ask Graciella.
“Have a rest," Laura immediately walked towards the outside of the room. He slightly peered towards Graciella who immediately looked pensive.
Laura clasped her phone. He still can't accept this. However, Graciella deserves to be happy and according to her, Xavier is the one who can make Graciella happy. He's so sure of it. He had to tell Xavier about Graciella's state now! Aye! He has to do it!
