The Shackles of Second Love
18
“Your mother doesn't like me, it seems like our relationship will never work.”
Laura was quite hurt when she said that, her heart which was quite fragile slowly lost its adhesive.
He wanted to convince himself, and try to strengthen the hope in his soul. Hoping that his relationship with Fabian did not end like this, but it seems that hope will be lost because the mother of his lover is not willing to give his blessing.
“I determine how our relationship continues, not my mother.” replied Fabian firmly.
Laura, who was standing on the balcony, turned to face Fabian.
“Do not be stubborn, Fabian!”
“Is not a mother's blessing everything?”
Laura's eyes looked desperate, which was what Fabian could see. Both eyes that usually look beautiful with the look of her eyes full of confidence, now began to fade due to the extinction of hope that the woman held.
“I should have guessed this, Fabian.” Laura spoke again before her lover opened his mouth.
“Me and yourself are different.”
“Omong empty!”
Fabian dodged, the man grabbed Laura's hand and grasped it gently.
“Man will remain the same in the eyes of God. What makes you think we're different?” ask the man.
Laura dropped her tears and it made Fabian feel hurt.
“Our status.” replied Laura sounding soft.
“I'm nothing compared to you, Fabian. No matter how much you dodge, but that's the reality.”
Fabian didn't want to hear all of Laura's nonsense anymore, although another part of his heart acknowledged that, but the biggest part would be to dismiss all of Laura's statements.
Indeed in the real world can not be equated with romance novels that are widely scattered today. Where there is always happiness or a beautiful ending for the poor and the rich in knitting love.
But that doesn't mean something like that can't happen in real life. There must be someone who can get a beautiful ending, even if only a small fraction of the many cases.
And Fabian will make sure that his love story with Laura is a small part of what works.
..
As already, as strongly as Laura pushed Fabian out of his life, the greater the strength of the man to suppress him.
Laura could not avoid even more resisting, because the man always had a way to make her back widen both arms to welcome the love given to her.
Through the strands of words that form a sentence containing the confession of love, his heart that is fragile and never strong since the past re-emerged.
“How many times have I told you—” Fabian's voice growled in Laura's ear, as her movement grew wild up there.
Laura could not open her mouth, while her two tired eyes were not allowed to be closed. The man forced her to remain conscious to enjoy all the rude but loving touches that were intended for her.
“You can't run from me, even if it's just an inch.”
Laura realized she was never strong enough to end all these miserable relationships. In addition to him who could not run, his heart was reluctant to release his already great love for the man.
“Laura, your body is much more honest.” Fabian said as if laughing at Laura's decision some time ago who wanted an end to their relationship.
“I love you, isn't that what matters?!”
Fabian spilled all his frustration through the protein melt down there. The warmth of the shot made by the man made Laura feel how much the lover felt towards him.
“Don't make me think that I'm the only one crazy about here, Laura!”

Mia drowned herself in a pool of water in the bath up. He held his breath for a while, while his head started scrambling to take over his consciousness.
The woman fell slowly into an inner turmoil that showed both sides facing each other.
The statement that Hartono revealed some time ago was not at all something that Mia wanted to hear. In fact he never imagined at all would hear something as ridiculous as that.
How could Sharon want herself to be the daughter-in-law of that woman. Although she will be rewarded with half the wealth of the woman, Mia still will not accept it.
He loved Hartono, the woman's husband. So what Mia wants is the man, not Fabian who is her stepson.
“Why is everything like this?” ask the woman to herself.
Compared to the condition of her heart, Mia was more worried about how Fabian and her lover felt. The two people must be in a bad state considering their relationship is hindered by Sharon's blessing.
Because after all, the blessing of parents is one of the most important in the continuity of a relationship.
“Mia!”
Mia who was daydreaming about Fabian's relationship then gasped in shock when she suddenly heard Hartono calling her from outside the bathroom.
“What are you doing inside? Why so long?”
It seemed like the man was worried about Mia who had spent quite a long time soaking.
“Log in! The door is unlocked!” Mia loudly replied from within, and then the man came to her not long after she said that.
Mia spread her sweet smile at Hartono, in contrast to the man who looked at her anxiously.
“How long was it?” asked Hartono after standing near Mia.
“Having a woman is indeed a long time, dear.” replied Mia.
Hartono then crouched down near Mia, his two black eyes looking at the woman's body that had been soaked including her hair.
“Why look at me like that?” mia asked with a smile.
“I'm tempted to join you.” said the man made Mia's smile wider.
“But unfortunately I really have to go.” Hartono said regretfully.
Mia sighed softly, if it was like that she could not do anything to hold back the departure of her beloved man.
Hartono kissed Mia's forehead long enough, then switched to tucking Mia's wet lips.
“I go first, until later.”
..
“I contacted Mia several times and there was no answer. You know where he is?” Sharon immediately pointed at Hartono with a question about Mia when the man had just entered their room.
“I don't know. Is she not here?” ask Hartono pretend.
Sharon rotates her eyes, the woman is upset with her husband's answers and questions.
“If he's here, why would I ask you?” sharon replied in an annoyed tone.
“Keep your goal asking me for what? While you yourself know where I've been all day.”
The reply from Hartono made Sharon speechless as well as aware. It is true what the man said. It would have been a waste if he had asked Mia to Hartono.
“So you told me to go home just to ask where the kid is?” hartono asked Sharon's dream.
The woman shook her head slowly, “That might be one of them. But not the most important.” Sharon's answer creates a twitch of confusion on Hartono's forehead.
Especially when Sharon pulled her hand to sit near the woman. Hartono was so wary of it.
“My husband, you haven't forgotten anything right?” sharon's sharp eyes made Hartono speechless and try to think hard.
Is there something he has forgotten?
“What?”
“Two more weeks—” Sharon gives clue and makes Hartono back think fast.
He remembered what the current date was and tried to calculate what the next two weeks were. And after he managed to get the results, then he remembered.
Seeing the look on her husband's face made Sharon smile. He's happy that Hartono hasn't forgotten anything about their relationship.
“I can't possibly forget about it—”
“Day where I once promised before God to live life with you.”
The last sentence that Hartono uttered made the man feel a tremendous pain in his heart. Because in reality he had reneged on his promise before God.
