The Way You Left

"Don't, I'll just go, see you later this afternoon dear!" Hana said then kissed Aksa on the lips before she left her room.

"Yeah, I'll call you later!" said Aksa who didn't care about Arabella's annoyed expression who watched the two lovebirds exchange kisses in front of her.

"Aksa, are you okay with the consequences if you dare to do this to me?" asked Arabella with eyes bloodshot from too much anger.

"I know and I'm aware, but am I wrong if I spend the night with my own wife, it's legally, rather than I have to be with you who is not my wife!" said Aksa.

"Remember, Aksa, you just destroyed Mahesa Hotel!" Arabella said then immediately left. Outside the door, she saw Hana staring stiffly at Irene at the door of Hana's room. With a cynical face, Arabella left the two women.

"Irene, since when have you been in front of my bedroom door?" asked Hana nervously.

"From an hour ago, did you spend the night with Aksa?" asked Irene who saw many purplish-red stamps on her neck.

"Um, that...." Hana felt awkward covering her neck with her hands.

"You heard that Arabella just sounded the drums of war for the two of you!" said Irene with a cold look.

"Y-yes I heard that."

"Just get ready, that Witch will threaten you again, Hana, are you ready?" asked Intan curtly.

"That ...."

"Never mind, if you don't want to lose, you have to follow my directions. Don't meet Aksa again, you have to remember your goal from the start, Hana!" said Irene in a slightly angry and annoyed tone.

"Pack your things, we have to go back to LA this afternoon!" said Irene then went to her room and left Hana who was glued because she felt awry. On the one side, she really wanted to be with Aksa, but on the other side, she was not ready to fight Granny Sarah, and Arabella. Maybe her career as an artist will wither before it develops.

Strengthening her heart, Hana then complied with Irene's request. She immediately packed her things and prepared to check out.

***

After packing her things, she heard a knock on the door. Surely it was Aksa who would invite her to meet Gea. With guilt, Hana then opened the door, Aksa's face was already neat and he had brought a bouquet of red roses for her.

"It's for you!" said Aksa.

"Thank you." said Hana received the flower cheerfully.

Just as Aksa was about to walk in, Hana stopped him.

"Why?" asked Aksa surprised.

"I have to go back to LA again."

"What, why all of a sudden."

"My schedule is tight."

"I still miss you dear," Aksa said as he hugged Hana.

"Me too, but I can't be with you," said Hana sadly.

"You mean?"

"I heard that Arabella threatened Mahesa Hotel, I was afraid you'd get in trouble again, so for the time being we shouldn't see each other again!" said Hana.

"I can't Hana, I've been waiting for this moment for five years, why did you suddenly say that horrible thing?" asked Aksa.

Hana then kissed Aksa's lips gently until Aksa reflexively touched her hips. After a few minutes, Hana let go of her lips.

"Until I finish this film contract, will you be patient with me again?" asked Hana.

Aksa's eyes seemed misty hearing Hana's words. His lips trembled and his tongue was numb to answer Hana's words.

"How long will I be like this,? Aksa asked with teary eyes.

"I will come to you without having to pick you up, I promise!" said Hana trying to tie a promise.

"B-but I haven't bi...."

"You can definitely do it, hold on, while you try to maintain Mahesa Hotel in your way, I will fight to achieve my goal of becoming a famous actress."

"Why do you want to become a famous actress Hana?" asked Aksa full of disappointment. He didn't want Hana to be an artist.

"There's a reason, but I don't want to say it now."

"Why, just say it now!" said Aksa impatiently.

"I won't lose contact with you, so I'll let you know later!" Hana said as she stroked Aksa's cheek and kissed it.

Aksa just looked sadly as Hana left carrying her suitcase.

"Well if you really want to be so dear, I will support you!" Aksa said slowly and smiled as he saw Hana dragging her suitcase while her other hand kept kissing the roses that Aksa gave her.

With calm and graceful steps Hana then walked towards the elevator door. While Irene was waiting in the car, from an hour ago she had been in the car. She was afraid that she would meet someone again if she lingered there. She was afraid to meet Daniel. She was embarrassed and felt like a cheap woman in front of Daniel.
