THE FORGOTTEN LOVE On The Train
PRETORIA: To hell With Love

...3 Day's Left...

Both naked bodies were rolled up on the bed, the fireplace looks extinguished and leaves ashes that cover some of the charcoal that is still burning. Electric blankets that give off warm air, still envelop them. Castello Di Monte, in the height of Pretoria, spread the cold air in the morning. If in autumn to winter, the city can be at the point of 0⁰ Celsius.

Time showed at 10:00 in the morning and they were still fast asleep after a long, long battle. Of course, their momentary play in the car, under the shade of the magnolia, on the edge of the lake, in Magnolia Dell Park, did not make them satisfied after spending time at Cafe Huckleberry.

Like a bolster, Valentino hugged Leyka's body from behind. The effects of fever-lowering drugs that Leyka took before going to bed, made him fall asleep among his fatigue due to the actions of Valentino. Even the existence of South African grilled corn in the morning that stuck up on his back hip, Leyka did not feel anything. She was as sleepy as a sleeping princess.

Valentino blinked his eyes as the cold fell on his nape, at first glance he saw Leyka's smooth back rolled by him, he pulled an electric heating blanket to cover his back head, he then tightened his arms, he pulled out his arms, the discomfort as hers stiffened in the morning began to unsettle her.

Without a second thought and with his eyes closed, Valentino directs his whereabouts last night. He lifted Leyka's thighs from behind and put hers in slowly, Valentino pushed his hips and then slid into the bulkhead to seal the narrow passageway so soft inside.

"Shhhhh.. Ley" sighs Valentino at the nape of Leyka as hers sinks all over.

"Ngghh" looked at Leyka with his eyes closed.

Valentinopun moves his hips back and forth, pushing him gently with emphasis. His breath sounded rough a wild snort at the nape of Leyka who could only resignedly and moan, his eyes reluctant to open.

"Ooh.. Ssh... Ley" he whispered.

"Hmmm.. Ngh.. Ngkk.. Hmmm" Leyka was helpless, she just moaned by tightening her body as Valentino's push darted deep inside. Position from the back automatically makes Leyka's strong grip belongs to Valentino.

"Haaah... Leys.. Ahhh.. Ssh.. Leys.. Ii'm sorry.. Sshh.. Aaarrghhh" and not taking long for Valentino to blow his cravings, he clasped Leyka's chest and groaned at Leyka's nape with a bite. Leykapun squeezed Valentino's arm as hard as he could, as he stiffened, with Valentino's push weakened in the rest of his strength. Leyka's legs twitched and bit Valentino's hand that coiled around his chest, and Leykapun exploded his passion that peaked.

"I can feel your pulsation" whispered Valentino with a satisfied smile. He simply pulled the bathrope to separate Leyka's back hip and her weapon that had been hiding in the thick of her Amazon jungle. But Leyka turned her body and sank deeper and deeper in the warmth of Valentino's body filled with coarse fur. Every now and then he smelled this man's sexy fragrance, the perfume that had mixed with the sweat of his former romance last night, Leyka really liked it. And will miss him.

...*...

The time was rolling where the two strangers had been relaxing on a separate balcony with his room, a place to enjoy breakfast, noon or night if they had gone nowhere. They were lazy and had no plans for the day. They had lunch at the Castello Di Monte hotel after Leyka had ordered the menu. The weather is very bright, the sun shines quite a lot during the day, but the air around it is still cold.

"Leyka, two more days are you sure you'll be back? You can postpone it, I'll bear the cost and we can take care of it to the embassy" Valentino sipped a white wine, after swallowing a few pieces of African lamb steak, he cut back part by part.

"Val-Leyka put down her steak knife and Valentino hurriedly cut Leyka's words.

"It's okay, I know your answer. You're going to Barcelona. You'll spend your time there and then go back to Palma to pick up all your stuff and go back to Barcelona to settle down"

"You know the answer, Mr. Stranger, we've discussed it a thousand times, you know for sure I'm only 10 days in Pretoria, after which I'll return" after responding to Valentino's words, Leyka devoured his food. Valentinopun fell silent and felt his heart ache.

Mr. Stranger, this is what it felt like when I called you Miss Stranger. So hurt.. No. gabe.. Do you also feel pain in your heart, Ley.. Inner Valentino.

"Leyka, how did you feel when I called you Miss Stranger?" ask Valentino curious.

"Like a warning that I must not go beyond a limit" Leyka replied as she cut back the slices of lamb and devoured them later.

"So like that- Ley, do you want to promise? Um, that means us"

"promised? For??"

"We don't call each other Miss and Mr. Stranger, I don't know if I don't like it" Leyka smiled and raised her glass towards Valentino.

"I won't call you Mr. Stranger" Valentinopun greeted him and clinked his glass.

"I won't call you a Foreign Miss either" Valentino said later. They sipped the white wine at the same time.

"Where are you going after Pretoria?" leyka asked, putting down her fork and steak knife after the last mouthful.

"I'll take you to Capetown and spend two weeks there and I'll go back to Italy"

"Hmm, I hear Port Elizabeth is good you can cross to Madagascar from there" there was a note of sadness, Leyka prepared a mouthpiece, picked it up for Valentino and placed it nearby, he took it for him and he ate it. It tastes bitter when Leyka eats creme bruelle with a sprinkling of raisins.

"I'd like to finish my project next to Ludwig's Rose, whose headquarters are in Capetown. Bertha was fired because that's why I met her yesterday. There's a file that I have to sign, actually it's not an important file, I'm just trying to take a vacation while working when you get home - Ley, I want to go to Namibia, there's an exotic place there. But, I hope it is with you" Valentino looked very seriously at Leyka's face, in his very deep gaze. His eyes did not blink even as Valentino sipped the white wine from the glass cup he was holding.

"I'm sorry, Val" Leyka let out a heavy sigh and turned to the side for a moment then again threw her gaze towards Valentino who was always fixedly staring at her.

"To Italy not want and postpone your return, you don't want to" Valentino lamented in despair.

"Val, I have to prepare everything, my residence, my work, my life. I need to get to know my father's family, Val. I had to empty the apartment I was given so I could occupy it" Valentino fell silent and wiped his mouth with a napkin and took a sip of his last white wine. He needs sweet food to suppress his feelings because that's why Valentino immediately ate the creme bruelle that Leyka prepared.

"Leyka, you've never told me this detail, because that's why your heroism is a catastrophe?"

"Val, you'll lock me up until I get home. And you know, one of the descendants of the Royal Family of Juan Carlos I, some are 48 years old and unmarried. He was one of the junior Locki at Chambrige, they were good friends and he wanted to marry me - Can you imagine if I went back to Palma before my mother went to Madrid? They'll give me to him, the wedding party will be called, Val" Valentino thumped to hear it, he got up and sat down next to Leyka and grabbed Leyka's fingers and then held her.

"Go with me to Italy and I'll give you a better life there" Valentino kissed the two Leyka fingers in turn there was a feeling that stabbed his heart when Valentino said it.

"Val, do you know why I easily gave you my personality?" Valentino fell silent and shook his head, still kissing Leyka's hand in his grasp.

"Val, that's because if I get caught in Palma and get married. At least the old man didn't get anything from me, even if it wasn't worth it. He can divorce me and I'll be free again, Val"

"What if he falls in love with you and doesn't care if you're virgin or not? Leyka, you can make any man fall in love with you" Valentino gave a kiss on the cheek and a soft caress in Leyka's hair later.

"Then my choice was two. Survive or flee. I'll ask for asylum from England or the Netherlands"

"Why didn't you ask Italy for asylum?"

"Because there is no kingdom that knows the Felipe family"

"There's Leyka-King Pinocchio. You know Pinocchio's from Italy. I am the King" Kelakar Valentino managed to bring the smile and laughter of a Leyka Paquito like the sunrise. Valentino thumped to see it.

"Val, why do you always ask me to Italy. Why don't you go to Barcelona" Valentino let go of his grasp slowly and let out a long sigh.

"Ley, what do you offer me when I'm in Barcelona with you? You work and I work from ground zero, we're gonna live in your cramped apartment? What life Barcelona will offer until I have to leave my country. Italy has given me a very good life Leyka. My career, my family's business. Do you know that the largest Locomotove Machine on the Continent of Europe and now venturing into Asia belongs to my family. It will be passed down to me and my sister later" Leyka fell silent and only smiled cynically.

Offended? For sure. The mouth of a pure Italian is very famous for crushing and even destroying. They know no stale bases. To the point, firm, straightforward and very principled strong even tend to be very idealistic. Leyka went back to devouring her dessert, covering her reddened face as Valentino managed to slap her with words.

"You know, right? Per capita income in Spain is far below that of Italy. Had I been looking for a job there, they couldn't have paid me like in Italy, Leyka. Income in Spain is very small, maybe with you working, your salary runs out to live a day. Come on Leyka, don't be naive. There's no way we're just gonna eat bread and think we should save!" once again Valentino slapped Leyka with his words, Leyka as if holding a chunk of stone in her throat.

"Is your money not enough to live in Barcelona? Are you so poor now?" Leyka's question was cold, but Valentino laughed.

"My money is a lot of Leyka, but I haven't hit my target yet. Penthouse, the car I have now, it has not fulfilled my dream, I want to build a house on the beach - Leyka furrowed her eyebrows and put her spoon, all over her body as if it were cold - Ehm, I mean, it doesn't have to be on the beach. Anyway a magnificent house, from my own hands not my family's money"

"House on the beach, so that's your dream with Rebecca, you still want to make it happen? I'd rather live in a hut than live in a house by your side of the beach" And again Valentino crushes his heart, Leyka realises who she is, only a foreign woman who momentarily comes and goes. Leyka finally remembered about the abortion Rebecca was going to have, it was painful to know Valentino still wanted to build his dream even if it was just a house.

"Rather than in your apartment, I'd prefer a beachside home even if it's Rebecca's dream. You're a Leyka noble and you can live in such a narrow apartment? That's Leyka's two-room studio, how are you gonna breathe?" Leyka's body was stiff. And Valentino managed to stick the dagger in Leyka's heart very deeply. Valentino managed to immerse the whole thing and it was very painful.

"Does Oxygen get to choose between a shack and a beach house, Val?" and Valentino was silent.

"Living wild and free, I love it, Val. We'll never be in line. Pursue your dreams and I will pursue my dreams even if I have no dreams. We're just strangers taking advantage of each other, Val. We are the same as running from the wound and being found here" Even if not. Even as Valentino clasped Leyka's hand, he simply stared at the roses from Ludwig's Roses in the distance, from his seat.

"Leyka, my company has a project in Barcelona but has not found a bright spot, I asked to be sent there, I will meet you later" Valentinopun kissed the robot's hand, Leyka had frozen with her jaw tightened.

"Hopefully I still recognize you, I'm afraid you can't breathe when you see my two-room studio apartment"

"Ley, I mean---

"Val, you can't live as hard as you can, can you eat bread only on butter?" valentino was silent again.

"You can't answer that? Val, you might still love Rebecca just that it's covered in your selfishness and the hurt that woman gave you. You still want to build a house on the beach and that's your dream. Val, I can't live with you, with a man who's still harboring his dreams for another woman. You'd be getting a lot of wound on me when I'm in Italy" and Valentino realizes one thing and it's too late.

"Leyka, but I don't have any feelings for her"

"Because you didn't realize it. After you return home to Italy, you'll notice" Leyka stood up and grabbed a pitcher of water and walked to a pot of roses from Ludwig's Roses.

"You're gonna breathe with me, in my apartment. Believe me there is oxygen" Leyka told the rose, the water flowing as the clear water doused the entire rose tree. Valentino saw Leyka's back looking calm, he saw from behind Leyka tucked her hair tendrils, a deceptive gesture that Valentino never knew, between Leyka tucked her hair tendrils she was wiping her tears.

Have I sliced your heart, Leyka..

Don't come to Barcelona, Val.. Because you're gonna have a kid.. I'm also sure you'll never come.. I'm gonna make you hate me.. Like my hate now for you.. Perse*tan with Love..
