Toxic Relationships
My Last Request's

The word that is printed is the past.

...Happy Reading's...

Clara took a deep breath, now she squeezed the dress in the pastel color she was wearing. His heart skipped a beat, right in front of him now the room where he could meet the lover. But this was not what he expected, the beautiful girl took a deep breath again, trying to neutralize her trembling body. Soon he will be back to disappoint Jack.

The brown door opened, and Clara swallowed her saliva. Right in front of him was Jack who was now smiling fully at him. Clara just fell silent and looked at him, but Jack quickly walked up to her and hugged her tightly.

“I miss you so much Chal, I know you're finally coming.”

Clara simply fell silent in Jack's arms, the girl neither resisting nor replying. He felt his heart shake. Can he do this? Clara slowly raised her hand and hugged Jack back tightly. Now that Clara started crying, she had missed this hug for so long.

“You've been fine all this time, haven't you, Chal? Nobody hurt you, right?” Jack's gentle question seemed to pierce Clara's heart.

‘No Jack, I'm not okay. Everyone is so mean to me.’

Clara remained silent, she could not afford to just take out a few words. Life after he lost Jack was so heavy. He wanted to be free from his relationship with Jack, but now that he realizes one thing, Jack does it to protect himself from the evil world.

“You okay Challa? Did someone hurt you?” Jack now felt Clara's body tremble, as Jack was about to let go of their embrace, quickly clara holding the man back.

“Stay like this, I beg you.”

Clara's voice was still with her tears, Jack just fell silent and still hugged his girl tightly. What the hell is it? Could it be that Clara just missed him? Clara's cry was really painful for her.

“You okay Chal?” Jack asked for the umpteenth time, Clara still did not answer, still hugging Jack tightly. It was as if channeling all his energy to the man.

“Sorry, I'm sorry Jack. I'm sorry.”

Jack could only be silent at the words of his lover. Now that he didn't care anymore, he hugged Clara tightly. Clara was still crying a hiccup, trying to stop her crying was not easy. Can't he stay like this with Jack any longer? No, he wants to be like this forever.

If only he had obeyed Jack's words to remain silent and not have much behavior, could he and Jack have stayed together? His heart was so broken upon hearing the news that Jack had now been secured by the police, it made it seem as if his life was slowing down.

After he feels the life without Jack by his side, he realizes that his life has become much heavier. Clara still vividly remembers the sudden appearance of a man named Chris coming into her life and betraying her, as well as Tiffany Boston, a girl who had been his best friend for seven years also betrayed him secretly. Now he has no one else. He really will live his life alone.

‘Jack, stay with me, the world is so cruel to me. Can't you protect me like you used to?’

Clara closed her eyes and took a deep breath. This time his cries began to subside, he quickly wiped off his tears and released their embrace. Clara looked at Jack's face at such a close distance. Even just one day the man was secured by the police, Jack looked very pale and there were some scars on his face. The interrogation must have been full of violence.

“I'm sorry." Say Clara again and stroke Jack's cheek gently. Jack smiled thinly enjoying the soft hands of Clara who touched his face.

“What is Chal for? With you here, that's more than enough.”

Clara was silent to Jack. The girl took another deep breath, trying to hold back her puddles. Clara stared at Jack's face for a long time, looking at the face she had so longed for the past few weeks, the face that had always protected her from all the trouble that had befallen her.

“I'll marry Chris.”

Jack's expanding smile instantly faded away just like that. Now he looked at Clara in disbelief, he didn't hear wrong, did he? Clara was still gently stroking Jack's face, as if nothing had happened.

“No, no, no way if you're-"

“I'm sorry Jack, I'm sorry.”

Jack now brushes Clara's hand over her face and keeps her body away from Clara. The man looked at Clara with a look of disbelief. What did he miss until all this could happen? No, no, it must be all a dream. He must have gone crazy because of the interrogation he was going through, he really has gone crazy.

“I'm here to say goodbye to you."

“Why Chal? Why are you doing this to me? Why?"

“I hope we can meet again in the new life Jack.”

Clara said briefly and began to exit the room, leaving Jack who could only look at the girl in disappointment. He wanted to see Clara come to see him, but it was not this kind of speech that he expected to come out of the girl's mouth.

"Who told you to do this, Clara?"

Jack was still shaking his head, this was definitely not real. It's just hallucinating, yes, it's definitely just hallucinating.

......................

Clara who was already outside the room now began to silence her mouth firmly, sobs of crying now began to come back out. He now also felt his chest so tight, if he could have stayed there longer with Jack. He regretted why he got out of the room so quickly.

Next Clara took off an earphone on her ear and threw it away. To hell with it all, he's been very disappointing Jack now. Could Jack hate her?

“Tu... Mister?”

“Halo Clara, we meet again.” Clara now swallowed her saliva and looked at Mr. Hilton who was now smiling faintly at her. Clara's feelings began to worry, I don't know what she will face now.

“You must know that my son is under arrest now?” Mr. Hilton is now starting to make a sound with his baritone voice. With doubt Clara began to nod slowly.

“You must know who it is, right?” Clara looked at Mr. Hilton doubtfully. Really, he did not know where this middle-aged man before him was heading.

“C.. Chris?”

“Chris? Even you blame others when you make mistakes?” Mr. Hilton was laughing. A goof? Or is it possible that Mr Hilton found out about Shawn's incident?

“Master, I don't understand what-“

“I have two empty plane tickets to France tomorrow, you and your mother can fill it.”

Clara was silent, and now she knew where Mr. Hilton was talking. The man wanted her to stay away from Jack. Clara was now silent looking at the middle-aged man. What's he supposed to do?

“Have years gone by and I never did anything when Jack chose you. But, look now. Even he is quite stupid by not clearing up his problems in the past.”

Clara was silent, even the middle-aged man seemed not surprised when his son was entangled in a murder case. For him, Jack did not do his job well. Clara swallows saliva, a business far more ruthless than she imagined.

“Master, sorry I can't.” Clara said firmly and looked at Mr. Hilton.

“I know you don't like Clara's violence, and I don't ask your opinion here.”

Clara smiled wryly, Mr. Hilton is not even much different from Jack. Now he understood why Jack was acting that way. Actually, far away he was afraid that it would not be Mr. Hilton who would hurt him, but now he had to make sure his mother was okay by not dealing with people like Mr. Hilton. She was too powerful, and Clara knew she had to avoid it if she wanted her and her mother to be okay.

“Can I request my last request of you?” Clara asked the middle-aged man who looked at her flatly.

“Please let me meet Jack for the last time.” Clara said with a pleading look. At least he had to say goodbye to Jack and look at the man's face one last time.

“I have conditions for it.” Said Mr. Hilton with a faint smile, Clara swallowed her saliva. Even so many requirements are just for simple requests.

“What, Sir?”

“Make Jack to hate you.”
