Changing the Destiny of the Antagonist
The answer is in your heart

Adrian jerked his ass on the couch in his apartment. He just got back after driving Karen, his fiancee. The man rests his head on the back of the chair.

Obsession or love?

Flo's words, as if resonating in the ears. Forcing himself to see the deepest corner of his heart. Does he really love Karen, or is that love gone?

***

Flo continued her work late into the night. Since her relationship ended with Adri, she has always worked until 9pm at the office. After that, I decided to go back to the apartment.

Flo arrives at the parking lot and will be home. However, the shadow of someone standing near his car, made him surprised. The man seemed to have seen his existence.

"Farel?" The man smiled at her. "What are you doing here?" ask Flo.

"It's so hard to see you. I want to talk." Flo raised next to his eyebrows.

"Sorry, I'm tired and want to go home now" Flo refused.

"Come, I'll take you." Flo looked at Farel annoyed.

"Just use your car. Later, I'll go home by taxi or I'll call my secretary."

Flo let out a rough breath. Lazy arguing, making the girl reach into her bag and throw the car keys at Farel. They also got into the car.

Along the way, Flo simply stared outside and had no intention of speaking. His heart and body felt unusually tired. Makes the mood of the girl drop drastically.

"You, avoiding me?" ask Farel.

Flo turned his head and looked at Farel's side profile. The guy's handsome. So good-looking. Not much different from Farel in the novel. Merely, the man beside Flo was his adult version.

"Why am I avoiding you?" Flo asked back.

The man sniffed his shoulder, "Only you know the answer."

"It's not you I'm avoiding." Flo twisted his fingers.

"Karen and Adrian, right?" Flo just nodded.

"What's your relationship with Adrian?" ask Farel again.

"Mas Adri, is my ex-fiancee." Flo did not notice Farel's change in face.

"Is Karen really your sister?" Flo looked up and waited for Farel's answer.

Farel did not answer. Flo turned her eyes and sighed softly. "There's no need to answer, if you don't want to answer."

"She's a friend I've taken for granted like a sister." Flo chuckles.

"There can never be pure friendship between man and woman. One of you, must have harbored a taste." Flo's statement, made Farel step on the brake until the car came to a sudden halt.

Flo casually looked at Farel, "Come home! I'll go home by myself!" Flo opened the seat belt and was about to change position.

However, Farel pulled Flo's fingers, "Let me deliver." Farel was running the car at a moderate speed.

The rest of the journey, filled only with silence between them. Both are busy with their own thoughts. Flo herself, feels too meddled with other people's relationships.

Why do I feel like a bad person? Today, I've made two men close to Karen, be in a state of concern.

***

Love's. I did love him. In fact, the taste is still there. Huh, uh,

Farel closed his eyes for a moment, then he passed to cleanse his body. It was possible, when his body was refreshed the taste was re-buried like before.

While far away in a different place, Karen was staring at the dense sky from the window of her room. The lights have been extinguished. However, his eyes were reluctant to close.

His mind floated back to Flo's words. Although Flo's remarks were aimed at Adrian, the words still affected him. Normally, Karen would contact Farel and question this. However, for some reason this time, he did not want to disturb the man.

His heart is weighing. Did Karen really love Adrian as she said, or just lose the attention Adrian gave in the long term?

Flo himself, did not mean to offend them. He cursed himself who was too involved with the affairs of the three people. Sometimes it is difficult to control his speech.

Stupid jerk. Why should I put them in a dilemma? I don't have a grudge.

Flo is upset with herself. Many times he rubbed his face, grabbed his hair, and sighed. Really, he felt ashamed if he had to meet them again.

The next day, Flo's going to the office. However, he was again surprised by the arrival of Adrian. The man was even standing at the door of his apartment.

"Mas Adri, what's the matter?" Flo did call Adrian with Adri's call. The affectionate call Flo made for her.

"Want to pick you up" replied Adrian.

"Mas, you have a fiancee now. Better, Mas, pick up the fiancee, Mas, just," Flo refused.

"I want to talk to you." Flo no longer answered.

Huh, it's been so hard on my life. Why do they always bother me? Don't you know I don't want to meet?

Flo did not comment on Adrian's words and chose to leave. However, Adrian follows the girl into the elevator. Inside the rectangular box, both of them were silent.

Waiting for Adrian to speak, it felt like time was running slow. Flo cleared his throat a little and looked at Adrian. "What do you want, Mom, to talk about?" ask Flo.

"I thought about every word you said yesterday."

Flo unmoving. His face looks flat. There was no expression from there. It seemed, the girl was still waiting for Adrian to finish the paused remark from the man's mouth.

Flo let out a rough sigh, "So?" tanyakanya.

Adrian looked Flo in the eyes. As if, looking for answers from there. "Help me find the answer to your question yesterday. Is this really love or obsession?"

Flo chuckled for a moment, "Only your heart and mind know the answer." Flo returned Adrian's eyes.

"Listen, Mum! The answer is only in you. You know better your own heart, thoughts and feelings. How you feel about Karen, only you know!"

Just as Flo finished his last sentence, the elevator clinked. They arrived at the parking area. Without turning around again, Flo stepped away leaving Adrian in silence.

Apart from Adrian, Flo again had to face Farel. The man was waiting for her in the office parking lot. If it could, maybe Flo was already cursing annoyed at this moment.

Since returning from the novel, which Adrian admits is the author, Flo feels her life is full of drama. Not a single day was calm.

"You also want to know the answer to my statement yesterday? Do you love Karen, or not?" Farel.

The man raised both his eyebrows high. It's like talking 'how do you know that?' the Flo. The girl took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He moved closer and stopped two steps from Farel.

"The answer is, ask your heart. Only you know that answer. Don't come to me to question the answer! Go!"

Flo stepped out leaving Farel alone. The man stared at Flo's back nanar that was getting away.
