Shadows of the Past

Geovano got into his red sedan. And drive the vehicle at medium speed. He seemed not to know what else to say. His longing for his lover made him tormented.

"Cherrysha, why are you doing this to me, why are you even sending your sister to always be with me, do you know that I really miss you, I want to hug you I even want to embrace your body, dear. Cherrysha." The man continued to mutter in his heart.

His mind was not calm. Because only Cherrysha is in his mind. What he had done to Clarysha was merely to give Clara a bluff, so as not to keep fooling her. Become a substitute woman for her brother.

With a heart that continues to be restless, finally Vano can no longer continue his vehicle. He decided to stop by the side of the road. The man immediately took his cellphone then looked at his cellphone.

"Honey, Cherry," exclaimed Geovano slowly.

Go back to three years ago.

At Geovano's office.

Brother Vano is busy with the papers that are currently being signed. Suddenly someone came and knocked on the door.

"Can I come in, Sis?" said a beautiful girl with a face that was so shining, her voice was so gentle and it seemed that the girl was very polite.

"Cerry, sweetheart. Come here! It's been a long time since we met," said Vano with a sweet smile that immediately stood up from his seat and walked over to the girl.

"I really miss you, dear," said Brother Vano, hugging the woman in front of him tightly.

"Sis sorry, I-I,"

"Shh honey I miss." Brother Vano was about to kiss the forehead of the woman he loved so much. But suddenly the woman pushed Vano's brother until Vano's brother fell.

"It's me, Clarysha, not Sis. Cherrysha," said the girl with teary eyes.

"Cla?" Vano was shocked. He rubbed his eyes and it turned out to be Clarysha.

Clarysha is Lintang's second child, Clarisha and Cherrysha's age is only two years apart. Because indeed Lintang wants to have many children but unfortunately Lintang is only blessed with two children.

"Cla, you are not Clarysha but you are my Cherysha, I know very well with your scent every time I approach you it is you," said Abang Vano loudly.

"Sis, that's enough! I didn't come here to reminisce with you, I came here told by papi, as long as I was an apprentice at Papa's company, everyone treated me specially. That's why papi suggested me to intern at Brother's place, so that I was treated. It's normal for the other employees, I'm here to learn to do business seriously, not to seduce you, "Clarisha whispered with teary eyes.

"Cla, when did you graduate?" asked Vano, turning his face away. Vano looks disappointed that the girl in front of him is Clarysha, not Cherrysha's fiancé. But strangely Vano feels so close and clearly knows the girl he hugged just now.

"This year, that's why I had to have an apprenticeship to live up to my grades," said Clarysha in a low voice.

"Alright be my assistant," said Abang Vano to Clarrysha.

"Isn't that too high for an intern?" said Clarisha, looking at brother Vano with questioning eyes.

"It's okay because my assistant work is a lot, I need two assistants and with your presence I feel that I am close to your sister Cherrysha. That's why I am happy to see your face," said Vano's brother to Clarysha.

"Sis, look at me, I'm Clarrysha. Don't you know that our faces are very similar. We are not twins for sure. You can tell where I am and where she is. I don't like you to equate me with her. I don't like your brother's attitude who is too familiar with me. "Clarysha snapped to Brother Vano. Brother Vano looked at Clarysha with teary eyes.

"I'm sorry, it's because your faces are very similar," said Brother Vano in a low voice and the man swallowed the saliva.

"Hi brother, what should I do, I don't really understand the job as an assistant. You can help me tell how and what to do," said Clarysha while handing her a proposal file to be signed by Vano.

"For a while today you just sit here, until Revan comes to tell you your work," said Vano's brother in a low voice, then he sat down at his desk and looked back at his files.

"Just sitting?" Clarysha looked at her future sister-in-law with a gaze filled with question marks.

"Well apart from that we can have lunch," said Vano's brother as he continued to stare letter by letter the file he was about to sign.

"As you know, I'm here to do an apprenticeship, Sis. Can I just sit and eat?" Again Clarysha asked.

Clarysha That's your name, today you just keep quiet, you just have to watch Revan's work. After that you can ask him, do you understand? "Said Vano's brother, staring at Clarysha with a sad gaze.

The man seemed to miss Cherrysha a lot. Unfortunately Cherrysha doesn't have time for her every day.

"Okay, if that's what you want, then now I call you Mr, Sir or Boss?" asked Clarysha.

"Can you just call me happy," said Vano's brother, sighing so heavily.

"Just a moment ago she looked at her cellphone and there was a beautiful face of Cherrysha. Indeed they are very similar, the only difference is in the hairstyle that Cherysha has blonde hair because she is dyed while Clarysha has slightly reddish hair.

"Cerr, come get me a drink at the table," said Vano's brother, focusing on his file.

"Clarysha then gave the drink. Then Vano took a slow sip. Suddenly Vano frowned when suddenly Vano's brother felt the soda in his mouth.

"He he he ... Honey, you are always like that when you drink soda, always make me laugh with your funny expression." Clarysha chuckled.

"Yes dear, sorry yes," said Geovano with a sweet smile. Suddenly they realized something.

They stared at each other and Brother Vano stood up. Clarysha slowly retreated.

"Sorry that wasn't what I meant," said Clarysha as she continued walking backwards. The girl looks pale. And now Clarysha almost fell and Vano swiftly pulled Clarysha's hand. Finally, now Clarysha is already in Vano's brother.

"Cheating girl, always cheating me," said Vano with teary eyes.

"Let me go sis," Clarysha whispered.

"Why? You are afraid of me? I should be afraid of you, for all your actions, you lied to me all this time, disguised as Cherry and approached me, you guys are outrageous, you guys play with me," said Bang Vano with sad eyes.

"Sis, don't bring it up again, didn't you promise me," said Clarysha with teary eyes.

"What is your goal to approach me and disguise yourself as Cherrysha?" asked Vano with an eagle-like gaze.

"All that I did for Cerry's brother, I can't possibly mean to you," whispered Clarisha.

"But you have made me confused, I even love you so much, but it turns out you are not Cerry. You are liars," said Vano and then let go of his hug to the girl.

That is what Vano imagines at this moment. The moment where the man met Clarysha as Clarrysha not as Cherrysha.
