There was a couple who are promising that their love will never fade till the end. Because they all know that they are destined to each other. But one day came, the party is already started and they invited there. A man meet her childhood bestfriend named, Alliya, they both shake hands and started a conversation. His girlfriend Sandy was surprised as she have seen her boyfriend talking to other woman that's why she interrupted their verbal interchange.

Her boyfriend frowned as she came, "Hi." she greeted with a fake smile on her face.

"Hello. And you are..."

She promptly answered, "I'm his girlfriend, Sandy." as she gave her hand to Alliyah.

Then she embraced her right arm to his boyfriend's left arm.

"Oh. I am sorry. Gerald, you didn't tell me that you have already a girlfriend." Alliyah chuckled.

"Nice to meet you, Sandy." she smiled forcibly.

"Glad to meet you, too."

"Ahm, Sandy can you leave us for a while. We have something to talk about privately." Gerald suddenly spoken and Sandy feel disgusted in the tone of her boyfriend's voice.

She thought that she's just a great disturbance to their conversation.

Sandy nodded and left Gerald with Alliyah on the table because she didn't want any noise and ruined this party of their company's 10th year Anniversary.

"When did you arrived from United Kingdom?" Gerald asked curiously because he really missed her childhood bestfriend that lost for five years and choose to live abroad.

"It is three days ago."

"I really missed you, Alliyah. You already change a lot. You look more gorgeous at this time." he complemented.

"My physical features have changed but not my character. I am still Alliyah you have known when are both too young."

In the other place, Sandy doesn't feel more comfortable on her place that's why she decided to go back to go his boyfriend. However, unexpectedly she saw Gerald and his bestfriend both smiling to each other and they seems very happy. Now, Sandy cannot control her emotion to feel the jealousy so that she went to the place and grab her boyfriend a hand and let go of him away from Alliyah.

"What's wrong with you, Sandy?" he said with a frustration on his voice.

"I am sorry. I'm just..." she can't speak straight and control to pour tears from her eyes.

"Can you please stop thinking foolishly? It's annoying, Sandy." he walked three inches away and speak again, "If you really want to go home, wait for your taxi there and don't disturb us again."

Gerald walked again and never been looking back to her that made Sandy cry.

She rode on taxi alone while pouring her tears until she got home and run to her bedroom.

She cried all over the night without eating her dinner. Her maids keep knocking on the door but she is not responding and keep all pillows over her head.

One week have passed. One week after her boyfriend left Sandy outside the company's building. She didn't receive any text or calls from Gerald therefore Sandy thought that he is cheated her. She thought that he is on his childhood bestfriend.

The instincts became true when the lady witness that Gerald and Alliyah is now holding their hands together and they looked very sweet to each other. After a few minutes, they have kissed passionately that made Sandy groaned and went away.

When Sandy treading along the street abstractedly, she just ignored those about her surroundings. A few minutes have passed, she decided to cross on the street when the car almost hit herself if the man who with his arms would not save her.

"Are you crazy?" he shouted.

"You almost hit by that car uh." he said angrily.

But Sandy is not replied and remain silent.

"Are you mute? Why are you not answering?"

She faced the guy and try to speak on him.

"I am sorry if I make you mad. You should not do it for me because I deserved to die." she sniffled.

"What? You are crazy woman." he commented again without knowing her reasons behind of what happens.

"Yeah you're right I am crazy that's why my boyfriend left me and went with the other woman." Sandy explained while still pouring her tears.

"I am sorry for disturbing you. And now you can go and leave me here."

"No. I can't. I will not leave you in that kind of situation." the face of this guy became sad and feel worried about Sandy.

"But you have to." Sandy insisted. She doesn't want to be burden someone like him.

"No. I can't leave you here instead come with me." he got Sandy's arms that appeared her with a surprised.

"We have same situation." he started to tell his story. "My girlfriend left me and went with the other guy." he looked very serious at this time.

"She meet her childhood bestfriend." Sandy dazed for awhile.

"My boyfriend too."

"It doesn't mean that you will end your life for that stupid guy. You only live once but you can love for the second chances. Bear that on your mind, woman." he said with an authority that make Sandy giggle.

"Why are you laughing? I am serious here." he exclaimed.

"None."

"And you..." referring to Sandy.

"I deserved more someone who would be loyal to me." she added.

"Alliyah, let's go."

"No, Gerald. I just wanted to make this too ruined their day."

"For what Alliyah?"

Gerald secretly stared on Sandy's. The lady noticed it.

"I want to show to them that they will not deserved to be happy." Alliyah said.

"What I did wrong to you uh? Why are you like that? Now tell me what is your reasons behind your being rude?"

"No. Stop this Alliyah. We have to go now."

Gerald persuaded his girlfriend to go away and left Sandy and Harris beside on the bookstore.

"Are you alright?" the guy bestfriend of her's asked worriedly.

"I'm good. Thank you!" she replied with a fake smile on her face when Sandy met her ex-boyfriend.

"Let's go with a hurry in the timezone."

She grabbed her hand by Harris to go inside the gamestore.

Afterwards they decided to go home before the evening comes. Sandy have a duty in the office tomorrow therefore she needed to take a rest.

Unfortunately, Gerald ran towards her and hugged her tightly.

"I am sorry Sandy for what I have done. Hoping that you would give me a chance."

Harris seperated the two.

"Stay away from her."

"She is my girlfriend and you don't have the right to say that."

Harris chuckled.

"I am not your girlfriend anymore, Gerald. You deserved that because you hurt me. You make me dissapointed so you must stay away from me."

Then Sandy grabbed Harris hand and walked away.

"No, Sandy! It just a misunderstanding."

Gerald ran after them and he suddenly surprised when he saw Sandy and Harris kissing in front of him.

He looked very frustrated and walked away while the two still kissing passionately in public.
