Chapter 52: Chapter 52

Ashy almost fell when she stepped on the stairs to go up to her room.

Just good thing that there's a strong body caught up with her.

She didn't bother to look at him anymore. She closed her eyes and just let the buzz carry her and enter her room.

When she landed, she howled... she felt the pain in her head.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Storm's face.

"Don't cry, I'm already here. You won't be hurt again." She can feel he'swiping away the tears in her eyes.

Slowly, his face dropped and he kissed her. She gave up because that was also what her heart wanted.

"Storm, I love you so much. I love no one but you," she whispered softly, as Storm was busy kissing her whole body.

He returned to her face and kissed her again in a whisper.

"I love you so much, Ashy. I will never let us be separated again. I will fight you no matter what happens. I will never let you go." he replied softly.

She stared at him tenderly. She was ready to give herself back to the man she loved so much. The man caused severe pain in her heart. Man, she never forgets whatever she tries to do.

She was shocked when the door suddenly opened and she saw Paul entered.

He angrily hit his brother on the head.

Ashy quickly got up from lying down to help Storm, almost out of breath when she saw the bloody mess. She saw Paul smiling to one side.

She shouted loudly ...

"Nooooooooooo!!!!!,"

She almost fell on the bed as her mom was shaking her. When she opened her eyes, she immediately looked around her

Storm isn't lying, and Paul isn't smiling. No one is there except her mom.

She covered her face as she bent down.

"Ash, what happened? The strength of your cry occupied the whole house. "the mother asked.

I'm just drank more alcohol before. I'm sorry, " she politely replied to her mother.

"Next time, don't drink on an empty stomach, whatever you're dreaming about. It's better if you come down with lunch ready. Eat first before you rest, "her mother ordered."

"All right, I'll be next. I'll just take a shower for a while."

"All right, hurry up, huh?" she came out and she left her alone.

She just leaned on her bed. She could not understand why she dreamed like that.

She was just thankful that it wasn't true.

She quickly went to the bathroom and took a shower. She immediately went down to eat.

"Ohh why are you dressed? Are you going somewhere? I thought you wouldn't come into the office first?" Her mother asked in astonishment as she served their food.

"I just have to finish something. I have some jobs there that I have to finish now. It's embarrassing if the company acts like I'm not doing anything." She answered while drinking the juice in front of her.

"Is taht so? Ohh go ahead, hurry up so you can get there right away. It's still lunch time."

"Thank you," she replied sparingly.

After eating, she immediately picked up her bag and said goodbye to her mother.

While in the car, she was very tired of thinking. She didn't even know if it was right, but that was the only way he knew to calm her down. Upon arriving at the office, she immediately entered it. She felt in those moments that the wine she drank was still valid. She suddenly felt ashamed of herself.

She soon reached the office where she was stationed. She saw Jem, who looked surprised when she arrived.

She sat down in front of the table.

"I didn't expect it ahh. It's good that you're back. I need you here already. I don't know the ins and outs here. Ohh come here, I'm back to my work. " She was about to get up from her seat when Ashy stopped her.

"I didn't come here for work. I'm here for this" she said, reaching for an envelope.

Astonished, Jem took it and then opened it and took its contents.

"Ash, is this a joke? Because if it's a joke, you're a bad joker. I didn't find it to be funny. You really made an effort just to bring it here. " a joke from Jem."

"If it's a joke, I won't waste time and paper just to make a joke. I'm serious. Give it to your boss." it is her friend's responsibility to command her.

She was also not sure if any of the two siblings were inside. Its walls have been changed. She only disappeared for a few weeks, but something has changed.

The old mirror between them is now fully blocked and can no longer be seen from the outside if the CEO's office is having a visitor.

"Won't you change your mind? Maybe you're just surprised. Maybe it's just because you're angry. The company is willing to wait for you when you're ready to come back. But when you resign, Ashy. This is too much, " Jem sadly said.

There was a look of regret on her friend's face. She knows that she deserves to be where she is now, and not because she has a relationship with their boss, but because she is really smart. But it seems like she doesn't need to be there anymore.

"That's just enough compared to what they've done to me, Jem. I'm still quiet in that situation. I have a lot of work to do. I don't have to squeeze myself into this company. How can I work in the company of people who are tireless but fool me? " she looked at her so hard.

"But Ash, you can just forget about that. You can be assigned to another department if necessary, so you don't see Storm again, "

She looked at what Jem had said.

"What do you mean?" She asked her.

"Sir Paul hasn't been in for almost a month. He's supposed to be taking care of something in another country. He'll be back next month." its own answer.

"And do you believe it? It's just his boyfriend. I'm used to her alibis like that. Because he does that every time he runs away from our wedding schedules. But I don't care anymore." There is still a trace of anger in the tone of her speech.

She doesn't really care anymore. Because she wanted the two brothers to get out of her way and if possible, they wouldn't come back.

"Ash, please ..."

"My decision is final and irrevocable Jem. You will give that to your boss to get us done. I'll wait here and I won't leave until it get signed." She stared at her friend once, away from the sunglasses that were in her eyes.

She intentionally wore this sunglasses, invisible to her eyes, so that no one will noticed that she cried almost every day.

"All right, wait for me here." She answer, then knocked on the door and opened it.

While waiting, Ashy looked around. A lot has changed. All the chairs and tables are all new. They seem to have removed the evil spirits from inside their office.

Soon Jem came out.

Sparing but serious, the friend said, "He seems to want to talk to you."

"For what else?" Her answer, then, stood up from her seat.

It looked meaningful first before finally opening the door.

Arriving inside the office, he saw Storm holding hee resignation letter.

She looked at him as if she was being persecuted.

"Get it signed and we are settled." imagine, she had ordered her boss before.

" And if not?" Its bold answer.

"Then it's not my problem anymore. I will just wait for you to fire me, and what will be the reason? Its strong answer is "AWOL (Absence without official leave)".

"Is this your way of revenge? Is Paul's guilt so bad that you really need to resign? Can't you forgive him?" wrinkled as he stared at her once the paper he was holding landed on the table.

"Why Storm? Can you just forgive him?" She askes him back.

"He's my brother. And I've always known who he is; I know what his personality. I supported him, I understood him because he's my brother, Ash, give him a chance to get back at you." Storm's face showed pity for his brother. She couldn't even say it, but she knew and she could feel the pain that the two were going through.

"It's easy for you because he's your brother. You know the truth but you didn't tell me. You let me look stupid in front of a lot of people. You let me believe in love that isn't real. Now you're going to ask me that Forgive him? Why?! " She burst into tears as she stood in front of Storm. she wouldn't even remove her glasses.

She just walked to the window.

"Why Ash, is he the only one who sinned? Is he the only one who lied? Is he the only one to hide? Between the two of you, you are the one who is more guilty. "

"Is that what you mean? Because something had happened to us over and over again and he doesn't know it. Yes, maybe we're equal now. But it's not that easy for me. Yoou know how much I have been hurt! " she removed her mirror because her eyes were already full of tears.

Storm got up from his chair and approached Ashy.

"Why? Because you still love me, don't you?You still love me, but you prefer to stand up for your anger towards my brother and me. Why are you so hard, Ash? " its passionate question while not taking his gaze away from her.

He missed herso much. Hee really wanted to hug her, but he was afraid that she might struggle and get lost.

"You shouldn't be asking me why I'm tough Storm. You should be asking yourself. I've been tough because I've accumulated all the pain I've been through. I've been tough because fear has taken over my heart. I'm scared to feel the pain again. I felt when you left me. I became a coward in many things. I could not stand alone. " she weeps with weeping.

Storm immediately hugged her. Ashy felt the sweetness of the feeling when the man she loved hugged her. She poured out all the pain she felt. All the hatred that had accumulated in the depths of her heart.

Their duration in that position?

She slipped out of Storm's embrace.

"So if you love me, give me the freedom I ask of you. Let me live quietly away from you. As long as I see you, the pain will not heal and I will not forget. If the pain will be gone, maybe God will make a way for us to meet again. But if not, then maybe acceptance is all taht we can do. " her eyes were pitying as she stared at his handsome face that was then shedding tears.

Storm rolled his eyes.

"Does this really make you happy?"

"This will give me the opportunity to be at peace Storm. This will give me time to feel what I really feel for you. Let's not insist because the pain is still here. I feel and I will not be able to decide." she barely turned away from him.

Storm grabbed her hand, then pulled her and kissedher tightly. Ashy closes her eyes to feel what he did.

He kissed her with a kiss that he knew she would never forget.

Ashy walked away because she didn't think everything was okay with her.

"Sign that Storm. It's just a simple thing."

"I'll do it because it's what you want. But that doesn't mean I'm giving up on what we have."

It is a sad answer. "We don't have any Storm, we're long done."

"I'll give you time to rest, but that doesn't mean I'll let you get away from me. I've done it once. I won't let that happen again. "

His face was serious. Hee signed her resignation letter. Ashy immediately handed it to him as tears rolled down her eyes as she walked out of the office.

She was no longer able to talk to Jem because she was in a hurry to leave.
