ALDERANDA

Time to Break Up

Currently, Dera is still contemplating whether everything will be okay in the future. Was her decision this time really the right thing. Dera began to be unable to think clearly. Her thoughts were broken when a man tapped her on the shoulder and began to approach her.
"My dear, are you ready?"
"Nanda,"
"Why Dera? Have you changed your mind? So you are hesitant to end everything related to him?"
"Nan, you don't understand how I feel now. I'm confused. I don't know what to do. Is this all true? Can this decision make everything better?"
Nanda began to hug his lover tightly, "Shhh. I know honey. I understand. This is hard, this is confusing, yes I know. But honey, you don't need to hesitate. Trust me. I just want our relationship not to be imagined the third person."
Nanda said that as if he was unaware and shameless, in fact he had been the third person in Dera and Al's love affair.
Nanda let go of his hand. Now he is getting closer to Dera's face, intending to give a sweet kiss on Dera's lips, channeling a bit of calm and warmth. However, Dera suddenly turned her face away from Nanda's reach. It was as if she knew Nanda's intentions now and tried to thwart them.
"Why are you honey?"
"..."
"Okay, let's go now. He must be waiting for us. I can't wait to see you really get away from him."
Dera followed Nanda to the car. Today they have an appointment with Al. Actually only Dera made the appointment. That was on Nanda's order. Al knew he would only go on a romantic date alone with Dera--his girlfriend.
Once there, Al immediately approached Dera and hugged her. It had been a long time since their last meeting, perhaps this would also be their last hug.
"Dera, i miss you so much , honey! I miss you.. Do you also miss hugging me like this?"
"Al,"
"I'm glad you finally have time to meet me. Darling, thank you!"
"Sorry Al--"
Dera suddenly let go of Al's embrace.
"Dera darling, are you okay?"
"It's fine now." Nanda appeared suddenly from behind Dera.
"Excuse me, who are you? Why are you here? Why are you interfering in my affairs and my lover's?" Al wondered in confusion now.
"Al Putra Darmajaya. Sorry, can you repeat your last sentence! Did you say Dera is your lover?"
"Yes-Dera indeed--" Al was so surprised when Nanda suddenly embraced Dera and kissed Dera's cheek tenderly.
"Eh, what's wrong with you? You're insolent! She's my girl. YOU'RE A BARGAIN!!"
Al almost punched Nanda in the face, but Nanda wasn't that weak. He was able to hold Al's fist before it fell to his face.
"Eits, be patient Bro ! If I wanted to, you wouldn't be able to survive this evening. But, I still feel sorry for you. You've lost your girlfriend and I can't see you losing your life too, that would be really sad."
"DAMN YOU! What do you mean?"
"Okay, like this. Before, I 'm really sorry, Bro . But ... just get on with it. Since Dera doesn't want to tell you, I'll just tell you. From now on, you have to get away from Dera's life. Don't disturb her again, and don't ever contact her again! Because Dera is now only mine."
"Shit! Are you crazy? Who are you to suddenly come and play with someone else's girl again?"
"Oh , sorry, I forgot, I haven't met you yet, have I? Actually, I already know who you are, I even know your father closely. But maybe you don't know who I am. I'm Nanda Armandito, CEO of the Armandito group and a candidate for Dera's companion. --my personal secretary."
"Hahh, so you're the CEO of the company where Dera works? You don't have to make this up. Dera is still my girlfriend. You don't try to annoy her or make fun of her just to fulfill your wishes. Don't just pretend she's your secretary. You can do whatever you want! Dera still has me."
Nanda rubbed his face because he heard Al's chatter.
"Huhh!! This child is really hard to talk to. If you don't believe me, please ask the prospective Mrs. Armandito directly now! Right honey? Dera honey, please help me explain to your past this about our relationship! Please! I'm having a hard time I was very understanding with him from earlier."
"..." Dera was just stunned.
"Dera? Why are you silent? What does this mean honey? What's really going on? Please answer me Dera!" Al stares at the lover who will soon disappear from his life.
Dera began to open her voice, "Al forgive me. What Nanda said earlier was all true. I... I can't continue our relationship anymore. Now I have Nanda. Besides, your parents never liked me. I invite you meet tonight to end our relationship."
Al just shook his head, as if in disbelief. He did not want to accept this bitter reality.
"But why Dera? Why do you have to choose him? So far our relationship is fine. I love you, you love me too, right?"
"I really can't be with you Al."
"DERA! What has he given you honey? I-I will give you whatever you want."
"Al,"
"Hey, Mr. Al Darmajaya! What kind of woman do you think Dera is? You're just looking down on her."
"Nanda stop ! Al, you want to know what I can get from Nanda but I can't get it from you? A feeling of security, peace, and worth. That's Al. As long as I'm with you, I can't get that. Because you know , our relationship until now is still opposed by your dad and mom."
"Ra, if that's the only problem, I'll try to handle everything. You don't need to worry about that. I won't let them bother you."
"Enough Al, you talk too much. In fact, what can you do until now? Haa? What?! Even I have to see your father--the CEO of Darmajaya group was badmouthing Dera in front of my face. He insulted and belittled my secretary in my own company, I can't just sit idly by. I don't want to see my secretary crying again or being humiliated like that. Your father-CEO is kinda--"
"Enough Nanda, no need to continue!"
"Dera.. Is he serious? So my dad already--"
"I forgot about it Al. I don't want to talk about it anymore."
"My dad is really too much! Honey, I'm sorry about that. Please , give me a chance to fight for our relationship!!"
"Sorry Al, I really can't. Please understand me."
"Dera, I beg you honey! Don't be like this! You know how much I love you, right? I-I love you, Dera."
"Ahem.. That's it. I'm sick of hearing it myself. Darling, let's just go now! You'll just get tired listening to him talk. The important thing is that everything is clear, right? We've explained it to him . OK? It's done, right?"
Dera finally complied, she followed Nanda's steps to take her away from that place. Nanda's grip on Dera's hand was so tight.
"DERA WAIT! WE STILL HAVE TO TALK DEAR. I DON'T WANT US TO BE LIKE THIS. DERA, YOU WILL NOT GET OUR BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES EASY TO FORGET, RIGHT? DON'T GO DERA!!"
