ALDERANDA

Emotional Scavenger Call

"Hello. So you don't even have my number saved?"
"Al," Dera muttered in surprise.
"Fortunately you still remember my voice."
"Why did you call me?"
"Am I disturbing your romantic getaway?"
"What do you mean Al? Never mind, let's get to the point ."
"Sorry if I have disturbed the honorable Mrs. Nanda, I just want to say congratulations on your happiness."
Dara was silent. She thought for a moment. Finally she understood what Al was talking about. It must be because of Nanda's post.
"So it's because of the post?"
"Huh, beautiful portrait. Beautiful smile. That's what you want, right? Happiness. What you can never get from me and my family. I salute you, Nanda can make you that happy. What has he given you? you? Or, maybe my question is the other way around, I should ask, what have you given to that damn CEO?"
"Enough Al! You have no right to ask me like that. Who are you? What rights do you have?"
"Yes. You're right. Really, I'm nobody. What rights do I have? I'm just an ex-boyfriend who was hurt."
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you Al."
"I know! Mrs. Nanda must be very busy. Even though it's already late, surely that jerk CEO still needs his secretary to serve him."
"Al stop ! Enough!" Dera was so angry with Al's words.
"You don't accept me talking to Nanda? But you are silent when he insults me, insults me. Is your love that easy to move to someone else? I ask you, what did I mean to you all this time?"
"Everything is different Al. We're done. I have my own life and you are free to be happy with your own life!"
"How can I be happy? I've forgotten what it feels like to be happy since you took that happiness away from me. You have a talent for making people forget to be happy."
"..."
"You should all teach me how to forget about you Dera! So that I won't be tormented like this."
"Al.. I beg you, don't ever call me again. Don't bother me again!"
"You don't know who Al Putra Darmajaya is. So far you don't know me completely honey. If you know me, you know that I won't let you go that easily honey. Dera, until whenever you are still mine. I love you Dera ," Al threatened Dera.
Dera didn't know what else to say. She just started to shed tears.
A second later, Nanda entered the room where Dera was. Nanda was surprised to see his lover was crying.
" Are you okay? Why honey? Who's on the phone?"
Dera just silent, she shook her head.
"Who called honey?"
Because he never got an answer from Dera, Nanda took Dera's cell phone just like that.
"Nan--"
"Hello. Who are you? How dare you make my girlfriend cry?"
"Good evening Mr. CEO, it was an honor to speak with you."
"Oh, so you're Al. Why are you still bothering Dera? She's now--"
"Yes, I understand what you mean. You want to say that Dera belongs to you, she is your lover, I have no right to talk to her anymore. Is that so?"
"You're getting smarter, Mr. Al. So what now? You better shut up, don't try to contact Dera again."
"Wait Mr. Nanda Armandito, I just want to remind you. Something that is obtained by force, by cunning, will not last long. It will surely disappear one day."
"You want to hug me?"
"Not annoying, just a reminder."
"I'm not afraid at all!"
"We'll see who wins later."
"AL--" Nanda didn't have time to finish his sentence because Al had disconnected his cell phone.
Nanda was silent. His face looks so angry. His annoyance with Al was unstoppable. However, Dera's soft voice slightly restrained his emotions.
"Nanda.. What are you doing? Al.. What did he say to you?"
"It's nothing honey." Nanda took Dera in his arms. "He doesn't know who Nanda Armandito is yet. How dare he want to mess with a Nanda!"
"Nan, don't be rash again! I beg you. Don't do anything weird. I don't want any more trouble."
"Ssst! Dera.. It's okay honey. Nothing will happen. Trust me! Okay.. Now calm down! I don't know what he said to you earlier, but what is clear is that I will never let him disturb you or hurt you again."
"Nanda.. You--"
Nanda slowly let go of his hand. He looked at Dera with a sad look. Instantly he began to bring his face closer to Dera's face.
"Nan--"
"Ssstt! I love you," whispered Nanda in Dera's ear. "You are only mine! Nothing can stop us both. I only want you, honey," Nanda continued, then he passionately kissed Dera's lips.
Dera was just fixated. She did not intend to return the kiss Nanda. However, she was forced to open her mouth to take a breath, making it easier for Nanda's lips to touch Dera's.
Nanda's passion seemed to be uncontrollable. Nanda directed Dera's body to the bed, laying Dera's body there. Their kiss had slipped. Nanda's current position was locking Dera's body beneath him.
"Nanda.. What are you doing?" asked Dera while trying to normalize her breathing and heartbeat.
"I want us to be one tonight, honey!"
Nanda returned to courting his lover. In his mind now only one, still have Dera.
