End Of The World For Her

Isla prepared herself to meet August. If it was like the other day, she won't accepted to meet him late at night, and even at a hotel! It will not be good for her reputation in the society. But as she heard that August was sick, she can't sit still. Her reputation became meaningless for her.

Besides, she finally heard back from him (in reality, the one who replied her was Scarlett, not August) after two long days. She didn't want to miss the chance to find out what's going on with him. She left for the hotel. She bought some medicines on her way.

While Isla was on her way to the hotel, many things crossed her mind. Firstly, she thought about August. It was rare for him to get sick. She knew very well that August hate hospital. So she was not amazed by the fact that August was at a hotel, instead of a hospital. Was it really serious? He didn't even went home. But she knows that August didn't want to make his father worry about him.

What if he was on the hotel, without anyone looking after him? What if his sickness become more severe? She was filled with worries and fear.

Isla can't forget about Lawrence too. By this time, the funeral will already be done. Will he be alright? Lawrence didn't call Isla yet, so Isla was really worried about him.

Isla reached the hotel after thirty minutes. As she stood in front of the enormous and luxurious hotel where her father was working, she was a bit reluctant to stepped inside. Her parents will return to New York early in the next morning. Due to the sudden change of schedule about two days ago, her father was working overtime to finished all his work neatly; so his successor will not have any problems due to the unwrap works.

Isla finally made up her mind to enter the hotel. She approached the elevator right away. After three minutes, she was nervously standing in front of August's room, holding some medicines in a plastic bag.

She raised her hand to press the door bell button. But something really shocked her. The door was not locked!

Isla slowly entered the room. "August? Are you there?" She said with a low tone voice. She was afraid to make a fuss.

She went around the room very quietly, without making a single sound. She thought that August was asleep and she was afraid to wake him up. She slowly approached the bed which was on one corner of the room.

The scene she saw on the bed was like a thunderstruck for Isla. She was so startled that she even dropped the plastic bag full of medicines that she bought for August.

In a large and luxurious bed, there were a couple sleeping peacefully, wrapping their body by a finest silk blanket. Only a little bit of their upper body can be seen as the blanket covers most of their body. It was impossible to not noticed that the guy was not wearing a shirt as his fine and perfect chest was visible.

Scarlett was sleeping peacefully in the arms of August. She was wearing a white nightgown, but a little part of her breast can be seen. They were sleeping face to face and Scarlett right hand was wrapped around August's upper body.

Isla felt her heart dropped on seeing the couple sleeping. Tears were rolling down her face before she could even noticed. She wanted to run away but her body refused to move as if she was paralyzed. Her heart hurts so much as if there were thousand swords planted on them. She spent two years loving him and only him. He was her biggest dream. He was her first and only love. He was everything for her. During the past two years, she gave up so many things just for him. But here, he was sleeping, with another girl on his arms.

The pain Isla felt at that time was undescribable. Her heart was torn apart and shredded into a thousand pieces. All her hopes were gone and she became hopeless.

She was startled as she saw that Scarlett was about to wake up. She panicked for a while, not knowing what to do. After a few seconds, she picked up the plastic bag that she dropped on the floor. She turned her back to the couple and was about to leave. But before she could leave the room, she heard a voice calling her "Isla? Is that you?"

Isla stopped walking as soon as she heard Scarlett voice. As she slowly turned around, she saw that Scarlett was not on the bed anymore. She was standing just behind her. Scarlett greeted her with an angelic smile, yet the purpose behind it was evil, an evil of the worst kind.

"What are you doing here?" Scarlett asked her with a friendly voice.

Isla was tight lipped. She cannot say a single word. She was pale like a ghost. She was nervous as if she was being caught doing something wrong.

"Oh! I almost forgot. I saw August texting you a while back. Did he invite you here?" Scarlett asked her. She looked innocent and pure; but on the inside, she was happy sawing her nervous expression. She was grinning on the inside, a wicked wolfish grin.

"Y-yes. S-sorry for troubling you." Isla responded in a low tone voice. She really wished that Scarlett would just let her go.

"You two are really good friends. If August didn't tell me that he will never like a simple girl as you, I will be surely mistaken about your relationship." Scarlett said with a soft smile, still covering her ugly heart. She modified what August had told her before. August never said such things. He said that he will never be broken hearted just because of one simple girl as Isla. But he really didn't mean it. In reality, Isla was the only one who can broke his heart.

Isla felt humiliated. She clenched her fist due to the shame she endured. She forced a smile. "I won't trouble you anymore. Goodbye."

Isla hurriedly left the room. She ride the elevator and stormed out of the hotel. She was humiliated and broken hearted. Tears rolled out from her eyes nonstop. She hated herself for even hoping that August would like her back. How foolish of me! He's still the same. He's a mere playboy.

Scarlett smiled happily yet wickedly as she thought that her plan was perfectly succeeded.

For Isla, it was like the end of the world for her. Everything in the world became meaningless. It was as if everything lose their value in her life. All her hopes were gone. She swore that she will never ever fall in love again.

But it will not be the end for Isla. The world have many surprises for her, which she would never even imagine....
