Hannah's Cry

Hannah has just come out of the studio room, having spent over three hours in front of a camera light that takes her pictures nonstop ,

with his eyes closed he leaned on the side of the chair to rest his body that felt so tired.

" Hannah" called vale so quietly, there was no answer from the woman, she was still kept quiet and only a nose deheman was heard to respond to Vale's call,

" Rest" said Vale, seeing Hannah who looked so tired with sweat dripping down her forehead.

" Do you want me to remove your makeup ? " he asked, and Hannah nodded her head without speaking.

A soft snoring sound began to be heard from Hannah's breath, she fell asleep so comfortably even though her smooth face was in the cleaning of Vale's hands.

" Did she know the news about her lover ? " murmured Vale while staring at Hannah's sleeping face ,

not long before the door of the room opened with the woman who walked in in with haste.

" What's up Ms. Caren ? " ask Vale while continuing to clean Hannah's face.

" He's sleeping, you can meet him later if there's anything important you want to talk to him about" Vale said without looking at Caren.

" Did she already know the news about her lover  ? " asked Caren as she continued to stand up and stared at Hannah, "I don't know miss, after finishing her shoot she no longer talks much, and has fallen asleep like this" Vale explained.

" If she wakes up later, tell her to meet me" Caren said, leaving the room without waiting for Vale's answer.

Vale sighed after Caren left him , "What else is he going to do? , is he also going to take care of Hannah's personal affairs ?  " vale muttered in such an upset tone ', he really disliked Caren who had always arranged Hannah's life at will , but Vale can't do anything because he's just a worker who's only assigned to apply Hannah's makeup.

" If it wasn't for you, I would have chosen to return to being a makeup artist instead of working with a human who doesn't have a heart like Caren " he muttered again while staring at the empathy of Hannah who was still asleep.

" I promise I will continue to stand with you Hannah" said Vale softly with glassy eyes, he always could not hold back his tears when talking about the woman in front of him , such a strong woman, a woman who could still laugh after shedding her sad tears.

" I hope, you'll have a happy life later" continued Vale with a wiping hand on the end of his eye..

Some eyes stared in awe at the white sports car that only a few people in America had because of its limited edition,

The luxury car carrying the pair of humans had just arrived at Leonard's parking area, "is there something wrong ? " ask Daniel when the engine is turned off.

Elin knitted her eyebrows together and looked at Daniel "what's wrong ? " ask back with confusion.

" Well, I guess something made you keep quieting me" said Daniel smiling, then immediately opened the car door.

Elin smiled and thoughtlessly at Daniel who thought that he was silencing him , during the journey home , Elin did not speak a word , he kept his face staring out the car window ,

he was so embarrassed to show Daniel his red hue and so embarrassed to start the conversation.

So did Daniel , he did not dare to start talking because he saw Elin who kept silently staring out the window , several times his eyes glanced at the woman to look for speech impeccable , but again he mumbled his lips because Elin still kept silent in a daydream staring at the outskirts of the streets of New York.

" Thank you" said Elin smiling as the car door beside her was opened by Daniel.

" Your smile is really making my mind burden disappear" Daniel said with a face that was not joking.

he was indeed so serious when he said that, the thought of worrying about the news with Elin became lost just like that when he saw the smile on the little lips of the woman.

Elin shook his head at Daniel's words, the man could always make his lips curl because of his behavior ,

And he walked to the back of the trunk of the car because he saw Daniel who was a little troubled with his grocery bag "do you need help ?  " said Elin approaching Daniel , "give me "he said again with a hand that wanted to take over his shopping bag ,

Daniel did not press, he kept busy putting all the stuff into one place so that it was easier to carry ,

on the back of the luggage door with the next hand that still holds the shopping bag that he has united ,

" Do you still want to help me ? " and Daniel asked with his palm against Elin ,

eEin nodded in confusion as she looked at Daniel's palm.

Elin's lips lifted again, this time she could no longer hold her lips to smile at Daniel's ridiculous manner.

" I'm already very hungry, and you have to keep your promise to give me good food" said Elin who unknowingly pulled Daniel's hand in her hand.

" You don't have to worry Miss , my food can't possibly disappoint" Daniel said so confidently.

the tip of her lips lifted as she looked at Elin, and Elin replied with a laugh ,

nothing funny, but a little laugh from Daniel's lips was able to bewitch eEin's lips to come laugh and

with their hands together they walked towards the elevator of the parking area which would lead them straight to the floor of the apartment Elin .

" Have I been asleep for so long ? " ask Hannah who has just woken up, she moves her body to stretch muscles that feel a little stiff because of the uncomfortable sleeping position.

" No, I only waited four hours until you woke up" Vale said, making her laugh.

" What have I missed?  " he asked again, while getting out of the chair that made her fall asleep so comfortably "Ms.Caren is looking for you, and asking you to meet her" Vale explained.

Hannah was silent for a moment looking at Vale "did I make a mistake ? " ask Hannah, 'cause that's the only reason Caren called her.

" No , he just asked if you already knew the news about your lover and since you were asleep, I asked him to come back later" Vale explained " and I don't think it's his business anymore to interfere in your personal affairs " added Vale.

Hannah doesn't answer, her brain is breaking said Vale, who told the news of her lover ,

she knew exactly who her lover meant by Vale 'cause no one knew about the relationship that had ended between her and Daniel.

Hannah immediately picked up her phone which she placed on the dresser, and immediately opened the online media to look for news as Vale said.

Deg "hannah's heart beats when he sees the full name of the ex-boy he loves written in an online news headline, and his gaze widens when he finds a news picture of Daniel with a woman , although he had clearly read the news title but his heart was increasingly unable to believe the truth of the image printed so clearly,

daniel's sweet smile with eyes that looked at the woman before him was so clearly seen ,

even while still with him, he never showed a gaze so sweet Daniel as in the photo.

Hannah felt her breathing start to tight because of the pain that arrived felt by her heart.

" Are you okay Hannah "ask the approaching vVle.

" Even she never looked at me like this" said Hannah who had started sobbing, Vale clutching Hannah's helpless body into her arms "why is your life's destiny so cruel to you Hannah , I thought he was the man who would make your life happy, but he was nothing more than trash" said Vale, who became so emotional because of Hannah's crying.

" You're wrong Vale, I'm the trash, I don't deserve to be with her" Hannah said, "stop blaming yourself Hannah, you deserve to be happy , you deserve to be paired with any man, maybe he's the one who doesn't deserve to be with you" said Vale, who is getting emotional.

" You don't know what a vale is, I'm not as good as what you think "

" Ceh, all this time I've known you enough Hannah, you've never done anything bad, so what makes you inappropriate with her "rejected Vale "now stop crying, ' she said , your tears are too precious to cry for this damn man "he said cursing mercilessly at Daniel.

" Stop swearing at Vale I beg you, she's not as bad as you think "pinta Hannah.

" This woman can definitely make her happy, not like me. " said Hannah who was cut off by her crying.

His heart was so sad to see Daniel with another woman, but at the same time his heart was also relieved to see Daniel who smiled so happily and even looked so happy than before , or more accurately while still with him.

Vale no longer denied, he just let Hannah keep crying in her arms "I don't know what your heart is made of" said Vale, gently rubbing Hannah's back ,

she still thinks Hannah is really hurt here, and she can always be so patient to deal with her .
