The Lovers of the Charge of Master Samuel
Separated Again

Before Samuel returned to London, Alfredo invited him to dinner and asked his daughter to take Samuel home. The two days they spent were really very short. It is not enough and never enough. When they were together, the feeling never existed because Scarlet always wanted to be separated from Samuel but now, after they loved each other, Scarlet did not want them to separate.

Tonight, Samuel will be gone. She forbids Scarlet to drop off because she'll be back in London at eleven p.m. Scarlet had been feeling sad since morning. Even his sad face could not be covered. It felt like following Samuel back to London but he had to think about his mother's circumstances.

Scarlet was not eager to do anything. To talk he was lazy let alone eating. Although Samuel had persuaded, but farewell was not a pleasant thing. Samuel was talking to someone back then, he really had to go back because the business associates were already looking for him. As a businessman, he should not make them angry. From morning, Samuel was so busy answering the phone and Scarlet knew it. He did not want to be selfish but he also did not want to part.

The finished Samuel approached Scarlet who was lying on the bed and looked uninspired. Samuel went up to the bed and lay by his side.

"It's still like this" Samuel rubbed Scarlet's face slowly but Scarlet grew even sadder and went into his arms.

"I want to go with you, Sam," said Scarlet. He felt he would not be able to establish a long-distance relationship with Samuel.

"Hey, don't be like this. We had a deal, didn't we?"  Samuel rubbed his head, he hoped Scarlet could accept it and not be too saddened by their separation.

"But I don't think I'll be able to make long-distance contact with you" tears almost spilled but she had to hold it back.

"We can do it, Scarlet. We cannot think of ourselves. If you come with me, we can always be together but what about your mother? You know he doesn't want to part with you. You've only been here two days with me, but your mother's been looking for you non-stop. If you come with me back to London, what about your mother? I think you know what's gonna happen to him."

"I know, Sam. I know I can't be selfish because my mom and dad need me."

"That's why you should serve them as their daughter. You know your mother's illness and she doesn't have much time left, she's been losing you for twenty-five years so it's only natural that she wants to be with you. While given the opportunity, do not waste it because when you realize, it is too late because your mother has left so take advantage of the time. We both still have a lot of time, we can still carve out our memories later but before that, you have to give your mother a good memory."

"Alright, but today I won't let go of you and I'll hold you until afternoon!"

"What's? Don't we need to eat? To the bathroom?'

"I'll stick to your shoulder like a ghost!" Scarlet further tightened her embrace, she really did not want to let go.

"From this, what if we do something fun. We have to go to your house later, I haven't cleaned up my things and we haven't had lunch. How about you help me get my stuff done and then we go to a nice place before we have dinner with your parents."

"No, I want us to be like this!" reject Scarlet.

"Well but just for a second, okay?"

Scarlet is silent but does not release Samuel. No one wants to part with a loved one and he does not want to. Samuel's hand rubbed his head slowly, and his kiss landed on Scarlet's forehead. For the time being he would let Scarlet be like that until Scarlet could accept their separation.

Surely he also did not want to, but what power. They mustn't be selfish and she hopes Scarlet thinks about it so that it won't be sad anymore.

"After you return, beware if you're cheating on you with your best friend!" scarlet.

"Where might I be cheating. Anyway I heard he's gone. You know I can't get close to anyone but you!"

"You should call me every day. Morning, day and night. Otherwise, I won't talk to you for a week!"

"Is there any more?"

"Video call, if not then not at all!"

"That's all?" he would definitely obey her to make Scarlet happy.

"Every day you have to say a word of love to me. Don't forget to let me know if you want to go!"

"All that I'll do for you" Samuel lifted Scarlet's chin and gave a kiss on her lips, "I Love you!"  those words made Scarlet smile.

"What's less, Honey?"

"You?" scarlet's reddened face got such a sweet call.

"Why? Don't like the call?"

"Thick. You're the best at taking my heart!" scarlet said, hitting Samuel in the chest.

"Good, it turns out you're easily persuaded!"

"What's? So you just persuaded me?"

"For sure, right? Now I have to tidy up my things first!"

"Samuel, you're a bitch!" Scarlet punched Samuel in the chest and also bit Samuel in the shoulder. They joked on the bed when Samuel had to clean up his things even so, Scarlet who was sad and moody was not so sad anymore.

Scarlet helped Samuel tidy up his things. It wasn't much, but he helped until it was over. They don't leave right away, they spend time alone in the room doing fun things until they finally go out to dinner together with Scarlet's parents.

Samuel was well received by Scarlet's parents. Scarlet's mother was so happy that her daughter was back. Can be seen from the expression on his face because for two days he always looked for Scarlet's whereabouts and asked her. Scarlet knew that and she realized that she was needed by her mother.

"Is your family in London, Samuel?" ask Scarlet's father who wants to know who Samuel's parents are.

"No, they're in Australia."

"Oh, what's your mom and dad's name?"

"Dad, why ask like that?" ask Scarlet.

"Daddy just wants to know, can't it?"

"It's not that, I don't think it's polite."

"What is disrespectful? Daddy asked nicely."

"Your father is right, Scarlet. My father was Abraham Archiles and my mother was Silvia Smith. They live in Australia."

"Oh," Alfredo nodded, why does he feel familiar with one of Samuel's parents' names?

"I will introduce them to you later" said Samuel.

"I'm waiting for him!" said Scarlet's father.

"Daddy just surprised me!" scarlet.

"Why? There's no way I'm going to propose to Samuel for you, is there?"

"Daddy want to do it?"

"No!" his father and mother spoke quickly. Scarlet chuckled, she was just kidding.

Their dinner went well, they talked familiarly but when Samuel came to leave. Scarlet couldn't hold back her tears. He did so again, unwilling to let Samuel go and tightly hugged him.

"Come on, we had a deal!" samuel said, but Scarlet shook her head.

"I don't want to be apart!" scarlet.

"I'll be back next week. No need to be sad. Look at your mother, she must be sad to see you like this."

Scarlet was still unwilling to let Samuel go but not long after, inevitably she had to let him go because she was worried about her mother's circumstances.

"Don't forget to tell me when you arrive" he said.

"Sure, come on in. Don't make your mother sad."

Scarlet nodded, she hugged Samuel again before the man left. Tears were unbearable as Samuel was completely gone, back to London. After Samuel left, Scarlet hurriedly entered the room. He had to split up again and he hated it.
