ALDERANDA

Broken Heart

Dera let go of Al's touch. She must realize that her relationship with Al is indeed over. Even Al already wants to marry Natasya.
"No Al. I can't."
"What's wrong honey? What's wrong with you?"
Al approached Dera.
" Please Al, stop ! Don't come near me!"
Al insisted, he was now holding Dera's hands.
"Ra, what's wrong? We haven't seen each other in a long time. You know, I really miss you."
"It's Al's fault."
"What's wrong? Love is never wrong right?"
"There's no love between us Al. We're done. You have to remember that."
"Who said? We are finished according to you, not for me, honey. For me, you are still my old Dera, the same Dera, the Dera that I love and love me."
"Let me go Al!"
"Never again."
"Al, I beg you. I really can't."
"Oh yeah? So your love for me can disappear that quickly? How do you do it? Tell me Ra! Teach me! Teach me how to throw away my love for you!"
"AL---"
"Dera.. Look me in the eye honey! Now look at my eyes and tell me you don't love me! Come on Ra!"
"Al.. I don't love you. We're over," Dera said loudly while looking into Al's eyes.
After saying that, Dera left Al.
While Al kept on babbling to himself, "Hah.. Why Dera? I know you're lying, honey. Your eyes speak. You can't lie to me. You still love me. We still love each other. I know your heart still belongs to me, Dera!"

Dera went to Nanda's room to check whether Nanda needed anything or not. Once she got to Nanda's room, she found no one.
"Where is Nanda? Has he not finished meeting his client yet?" thought Dera.
Dera had even asked her parents, but they didn't even know Nanda's whereabouts.
Meanwhile, Nanda, who was being searched for by Dera, was unconscious. Nanda has been at the bar since earlier. He is very drunk at the moment. Already a few glasses of drink in his stomach, it still feels less to him. Nanda kept asking and asking for more.
Nanda decided to spend time at the bar after seeing Dera's intimacy with Al on the beach earlier. Nanda really did not accept, he was jealous, he was angry. He couldn't see the girl he loved being touched by another man, let alone that man who was her ex-boyfriend.
"Why? What am I lacking? Dera, you can't even see how much I love you. You don't care about my heart. It hurts. Dera! It hurts," Nanda raved at the bar.
Nanda continued to drink and babble incoherently.

...

Dera's cell phone rings. Dera was surprised to know that it was a call from Nanda. However, when Dera picked it up, it was not Nanda who spoke but one of the waiters at the bar who told her that Nanda was currently very drunk. The maid called Dera because Dera's number was on the first speed dial list of Nanda's cell phone.
Dera panicked hearing the news. She immediately went to the bar and made sure her mother and father did not know about this.
When Dera arrived at the bar, sure enough she found Nanda sitting curled up with his head lying on the bar table while continuing to rage and ramble asking for more drinks. Nanda was heard mentioning Dera's name.
"Nanda.. NANDA ENOUGH!"
"Ehh you.. What are you doing here? Go away! I know you don't care about me at all. Leave me! Just let me be here!"
"No Nanda. You can't stay here. You've had too much to drink. Don't drink anymore!"
"Why? WHY? HA? What do you care? Hehh, who am I? I AM NOT WHOM FOR YOU!"
"NAN, come on Nan! Let's get out of here!"
"No Dera. I don't want to."
"Nanda come on! Don't do this!"
"I said no, no. Enough of Dera! Just let me be here. Again you don't need to care so much. Go away! Go that far! Find that your most beautiful former son of Darmajaya."
Dera was silent for a moment. It seemed she knew why Nanda was behaving like now. Nanda must have seen Dera with Al earlier.
"Nanda.. I'm sorry. I can explain everything. But please come with me, okay? Let's get out of here, let's go back to the hotel."
" Shit .. I don't need any explanation. You can't even understand me. My heart, my feelings, my love, Dera.. You never care."
"Sorry Nan, I beg you to come back!"
Dera managed to bring Nanda back to the hotel room. She enlisted the help of a barmaid to support Nanda. Luckily, Nanda had started to lose consciousness, that's why he was brought back to the hotel without a fight.
After removing Nanda's shoes and jacket which smelled of alcohol, Dera covered Nanda. Dera then intended to return to her room, letting Nanda rest. However, unexpectedly, Nanda's hand pulled Dera's hand so tightly that Dera fell onto the bed and lay beside Nanda.
"Ahh.. Dera.. Where are you going, honey? Accompany me here! I want to talk to you about many things. This is an order from your CEO, you can't refuse!"
"Nan.. What do you want? You're still unconscious, you're still drunk, Nanda. We can talk tomorrow. Let me go now!"
Nanda shook his head, he tightened his embrace on Dera's body with their position still lying together in one bed.
"Dera. I have a question. You have a lot of questions to answer. So, you answer yes!"
"Nanda--"
"First question, who am I in your eyes?"
"..."
"Why are you silent? Hm? Is the answer too difficult? Okay, second question, are you still in love with Al?"
"..."
"Huh, third question, did you agree to our agreement just for Al's sake? Can you forget about that agreement?"
"..."
"Question four, do you love me? Or do you just think I'm your boss, your CEO, someone who can only order you?"
"..."
"Come on, come on! How long are you going to keep quiet like this? Okay, fifth question, are you happy being my secretary? Are you comfortable being close to me?"
"Nanda I--"
"Why are you hesitating? Hm? Just answer it. Dera, sixth question, when can you love me the way I love you? Until when do I have to wait? Will it just be like this forever?"
"..."
"Gosh.. This is a bonus question for you. Seventh question, Dera, if I'm serious, I want to propose to you in front of your mother and father now, will you accept me? Will you marry me ?"
"No Nanda. I can't."
"Wow, out of all my questions, you can only answer the last question, the bonus question. Even so, you can be that loud. Then where are the other questions? You prefer to remain silent. You just stay silent."
"Nanda please...."
"Please Dera! Okay. Now you just shut up! Let me do the talking and you listen to everything. You just have to listen. Don't say anything. Don't answer anything, just be quiet! Just be quiet!"
