TAKSUB (BAHASA MALAYSIA)

“Let’s break up,” Anthon said casually.

Sabrina’s world stopped.

Standing by the door of his new office, she stood there frozen as she stared at her boyfriend in disbelief.

She was very excited to see him that day as it was the day that they have been waiting for. His job promotion.

It took him three years to get that promotion, and it was all thanks to her efforts that he finally achieved it.

For years of sacrifices, she never asked for anything in return as she was certain that the two of them would be the end game.

“W-what did you say?” She stammered, eyes brimming with tears.

“Let’s break up, Sabrina,” Anthon repeated nonchalantly.

He was looking at her with a blank expression and his voice was too casual as though he was just talking about the weather and not breaking her heart.

Sabrina's chest thumped so hard that it hurt. Suddenly, she was reminded of his attitude from the first day they met, wherein he never spared her even just a brief glance.

With unshed tears, she shook her head profusely and forced a chuckle, “This is not the right time to joke around, babe. I know what you are planning–”

“I’m serious, Sabrina. I want to break up with you. I’ve been waiting for this day to finally say it. I’m so fed up with you,” Anthon immediately cut her off.

Those words were like a sharp knife that pierced her heart. Her jaw dropped, eyes wide as saucer as she stared at him, incredulous to hear those words came out from his mouth.

“You've been what?” the water broke and fell from her eyes. “Didn’t you promise that you’ll propose to me once you've become a manager?” her voice cracked.

The corner of Anthon's lips lifted whilst his eyes glinted menacingly, “I just said it to shut you up from mentioning marriage all the time. If only you knew how annoyed I was during those times," he shook his head as though he couldn't believe he was able to tolerate it. "I never had any plans with you. I never want to marry you in the first place. I just used you to achieve all these,” he grinned while spreading his hands and looking around his new office.

Tears quickly flow like a waterfall from Sabrina's eyes. Her visions blurred as her chest tightened. 'No,' she thought. Anthon loved her and he was just pranking her, she convinced herself.

“Your purpose is done, I don't need you anymore,” he continued.

Sabrina froze. Her body trembled upon hearing those words. "My purpose?" she mumbled in utter disbelief.

She had sacrificed her own dream to help him achieve his, and that's what she would get as a payment? She only wanted one thing and that's to marry him, which was the very reason she did all of it, but it turned out he was just using her?!

Shaking her head, she walked towards him and held his hands, “Please tell me this is just a prank, babe..” her tone begging, she almost choked up, “Are you taking me to a fancy dinner? You have a surprise for me, right?” She smiled through her tears.

Sabrina knew she looked desperate and pathetic but she didn't care. Her world revolved around her and she didn't believe Anthon could do that to her.

"You love me, right?" she queried, eyes full of hope and desperation.

However, Anthon quickly yanked her hands while throwing her a disgusted look. "I don't love you. I never did," he said harshly.

Sabrina shook her head, not believe him at all, "You're lying! We've been together for five years! You cannot stay that long with me if you don't have feelings for me!" she cried.

The corner lf Anthon's lips curved, his eyes were glinting in menace. "I just did. I just stomach being with you because I know you can help me climb up and reach my goal. And I was right.." he chuckled. His eyes were merciless as he looked straight into her eyes. "You're so naive, Sabrina. It's so easy to deceive you," he grinned slyly.

Shaking her head profusely, Sabrina was still indenial. She refused to believe him and kept convincing herself that it was just a joke. . .a prank. Although Anthon was always serious and never played a prank on her, still she was convinced that he was not serious with what he was telling her and that he cannot hurt her.

She was about to grab his hands again, when Anthon quickly stepped back. The latter then walked off towards his table and slowly turned the swivel chair around. The smile on Sabrina’s face widened, her face lit up in sudden excitement. She thought it was finally the surprise she had been waiting for. The flowers she never failed to mention to him and the engagement ring she had been dreaming of..

"I knew it! You just want to surprise--" However her words got cut off.

Her wide smile instantly disappeared from her lips while her body got frozen as soon as the swivel chair swirled around and faced her.

It was not a bouquet of flowers she was expecting, but a woman. And the ring? It was there. But what made her heart ripped into pieces? Her dream engagement ring that she told him was already on that woman's finger.

“Nathalia, what are you doing here?” she asked with quivering lips.
