Ending of a Relationship

Raya threw her handbag at the man who had put herself in a bad position. For her, what Arkan said was really too much. Her heart is broken. How could Arkan betray their relationship when she trusted him so completely?

"I asked you to get out of here, never see me again! Our relationship is over!"

"Raya, I'm really guilty. I'm sorry."

"Traitor! You slept with another woman while I was waiting for you here! You are the worst man in the world!"

"Raya...."

Raya chose not to hear or look back. Everything was clear enough for her now. It's better if they don't meet next because it will only make the pain in her heart grow.

The rejection that had forced Arkan to leave immediately made him unable to do anything. Perhaps, Raya was very surprised and needed time to think for a while. During the trip, he reminisces about how they first met, the time they spent as friends, until they had feelings, and decided to have a relationship.

At the time; he is overjoyed that his feelings are reciprocated. They have been in a relationship for a very long time even though they did not get the blessing. It would be heartbreaking if they just threw all those memories away. He will not be able to separate from Raya who has been there for him in joy and sorrow.

Without realizing he was already in front of the apartment door, he went inside and looked around. His mind turned to Lunar who was somewhere else. Finally he left Lunar without knowing what she did after messing up his life for the second time.

That's enough. He thought there was no point in blaming either. It's all happened. For now, he can only hope that Raya will forgive him soon.

Arkan sat in the living room accompanied by regret. At that moment his cell phone rang. He finds out who called, hope is Raya.

However, what he saw was different. Lunar calling. He picked up the call. "I'm already in the apartment. You can come downstairs if you want to talk to me."

"N-not like that...."

Arkan who was about to turn off the phone, put the phone back to his ear. "What is it?"

"I'm not in the apartment right now. My parents called earlier. They said they wanted to celebrate Sora's birthday. So, I went home and planned to stay here."

"Okay. You can go home after that."

When they called, a familiar male voice came from the other side. Arkan frowned as he remembered the owner of the voice. He had heard before.

"Is Nico there too?"

"Hmmm, he's here to celebrate Sora's birthday. You don't need to worry. Nico has changed a lot."

"Up to you."

"Arkan...."

"Yes?"

"About that, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so childish."

"Forget it. You should have a happy birthday for your sister."

"Thank you. Then, I'll hang up the phone."

Arkan put his phone on the table. He lay down on the sofa and suddenly the incident came back to his mind. No matter how hard he tried to forget, he still couldn't. Raya is the reason why he can survive and now the woman broke their relationship.

***

Lunar kept the cellphone, approached the table that was full of food. The main course is birthday cake. The faces that appeared at this time were not spared from the smiles, the happiest thing that she was still able to enjoy after all this time.

"Is Arkan coming?" asked Sora.

"Arkan can't leave work."

Actually, Lunar didn't invite Arkan to join. Perhaps, they both needed a breather and put away the complexities of a fake marriage for a while. After all, how was she going to face Arkan after that sad incident?

"Can't he just take a short break to celebrate the happy day of his own wife's sister?"

The mother did not like her daughter-in-law's attitude. Not even visiting them at all after taking Lunar as a wife.

"Mom, Royal Gray is a big company. It's certain that Arkan is very busy. Besides, we'll let you know suddenly," said Sora.

"What do you mean we have to schedule a meeting before we can meet? How can it be like that in your own family?"

"Come on, Mother. Let's just celebrate my birthday."

They celebrate birthdays happily. Togetherness is what Lunar misses while away from her family. This moment is a long wait that is really worth it.

After the little party everyone fell asleep except Lunar. Besides that, Nico also still had his eyes wide open. It was getting very late now and she'd better walk Nico out before it got too late.

"I want to tell you a lot, but time doesn't seem to permit it. Can we meet again after this?"

Luna nodded her head. "If time permits."

Nico smiled thinly. "Good night, Lunar. I hope you dream of me."

Lunar did not answer those words. She pushed Nico to get out of the way. The man was very obedient, because listening to what he said was different from the Nico she knew before.

The car sped away leaving her impatient to get into the house. The temperature that night was very cold. She wasn't wearing a jacket either when she dropped Nico off.

Just about to turn around, she accidentally saw a familiar car. Did she mistakenly think that Arkan was there? It seemed impossible because the man was already in the apartment and didn't seem interested in coming either.

Lunar was looking for a cellphone to contact Arkan, but she forgot that her cellphone was left on the table. As a result, she had to go to her room so she could use cell phone immediately.

Once inside the room, she heard the sound of a car outside. She rushed into the living room and opened the window. Only the back of the car that she could see. In fact, car plates are hard to read from afar.

"What's wrong, Lunar?"

In a daze the mother woke up. Earlier, she heard the sound of quick footsteps. When she saw who was running it was Lunar.

"Oh, okay. I'm going to bed."

Lunar walked into her room. She really felt that it was Arkan who came. However, she hesitated to contact the man who didn't know how she was doing now.

Putting aside any doubts, she ventured to make contact. Contrary to expectations, it turned out that Arkan picked up the call. She didn't hear any noise like she was driving from the other side.

"Arkan, did you come to my house earlier?"

"No."

"Turns out it's just my feeling. I saw the car you often use parked in front of my house. I thought it was you, but I was wrong." Lunar laughed dryly. "Then have a good rest, Arkan. Sorry for disturbing your rest time. Good night."

This was the first time Lunar made a call to someone that required a lot of power. She was also sweating from worrying about how the response she would get. That incident was still one of the reasons. She don't know how it will be when they meet.
