I cheated on you?
Letta fell silent as she listened to Abian’s explanation. Her heart was pounding fast, and for some reason, Letta suddenly felt something different in her heart. Various images of their time together and Abian kept flashing in her mind. Until finally, Abian reached out his hand, waving it in front of Letta’s face, which had been silent and lost in thought all this time. “Is my explanation too complicated for you to understand?” Abian asked, making Letta shake her head.
“No, it’s just that right now I don’t know how to comment on it,” Letta said again. As Abian explained how they were once close friends and then became lovers, Letta was taken aback. Although at first Letta thought that she and Abian had a close relationship, whether it was friendship or distant family, it turned out to be closer than she had imagined. Abian truly knew everything about her in the past. Letta could also see the sincerity Abian showed her, how Abian looked at her now.
Abian also mentioned that he knew everything related to her, from favorite foods, favorite colors, phobias, favorite songs, to their favorite movies. Abian listed them one by one, making Letta realize for the first time that she didn’t like tomatoes. No wonder all this time when Desi cooked, Letta always pushed the tomatoes to the side of her plate, or Letta always refused when Desi made tomato juice for her. Apparently, she had never liked them.
“How did we end up separating?” Letta finally asked because in every way, Abian was indeed a very good lover. Even though Letta had just met him, just by looking at how Abian looked at her, it could be concluded that Abian was not someone who could be easily let go of.
“You’re getting married?” Abian said, making Letta feel her heart racing again. Could it be that she let go of Abian just because she wanted to marry Marco? That meant Letta had been torn between Abian and Marco.
“Married, you mean to my current husband?” Letta asked again, making Abian nod his head.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“At that time, I also didn’t believe it, even though I had long prepared plans to return to this country. I terminated all contracts that hired my services to be far from you, just because I didn’t want to make you lonely again, especially since you left your aunt and cousin’s house,” explained Abian, making Letta also realize the fact that he still had family, namely an aunt and a cousin. Abian mentioned that he didn’t have a good relationship with both of them, making Letta not think too much about his family. Even if they were to come looking for her now, Letta wouldn’t rely on them.
“Does that mean I cheated on you?” Letta asked to make sure, making Abian just smile, making Letta feel as if it was a disappointed smile she received. Letta could only clasp her hands and curse herself. Letta now wanted to know what strong reason led her to leave Abian, was it just because Marco had everything, or whatever it was.
“I don’t know, because when you said that you couldn’t continue our relationship because you wanted to marry a man who could make your future clearer than what I could provide,” said Abian, causing Letta to clench her fists. It turned out he was really that cruel. Letta didn’t know that in his past, he prioritized a certain future, leaving Abian who had been by his side all this time.
“Am I that cruel?” Letta asked again, causing Abian to shake his head.
“No, you’re not cruel. You just chose the right answer. You chose the right person. I don’t blame your decision, because to me, it was the right decision. I also can’t guarantee that you would be happy with me, but with your current husband, you’ve proven that you have found happiness. Especially since you’ve been blessed with a child,” Abian said again. However, for some reason, Letta felt disagreeing with the opinion he had given.
“What else do I have in the past, what else do I not know, and what have you not told me?” Letta asked again, making Abian smile.
“It seems that if I were to tell, it might take days. And when I talk about you, it will surely always make Mia feel annoyed,” Abian said again, making Letta furrow her brow.
“Mia?” Letta asked, making Abian nod.
“Yes, she’s your friend and my friend too,” Abian replied.
“So I have a friend?” Letta asked, making Abian nod.
“Yes, we were good friends, but I’m sorry that our relationship ending also had to ruin your friendship with Mia. Even though I told you that this was the best decision for our relationship. But it turns out Mia chose to no longer have any connection with you. She even quit her job at the office because she didn’t want to deal with your husband,” Abian said again, making Letta furrow her brow.
“Dealing with my husband, so Mia worked at my husband’s office?” Letta asked again, making Abian nod.
“Yes, you were in the same office, and previously you were a flight attendant at your husband’s airline,” Abian said again, making Letta feel even more that something was wrong with her. It meant that she was a former employee of Marco. It meant that she married her own boss. So, what made her end their friendship, even though Abian had said that it was because their relationship ended? But Letta was sure there must be a certain reason for her friend to end their relationship.
“Does that mean I married my own boss?” Letta asked, making Abian go silent. Then, Abian looked at Letta in surprise.
“Didn’t your husband tell you?” Abian asked, making Letta hesitate slightly while shaking her head.
“It’s not possible, because he doesn’t want to burden me with all the memories that are lost from me,” Letta said again. However, of course, her answer didn’t satisfy Abian.
“Then why do we have to hide from your husband today? Does that mean your husband doesn’t want your memories to come back, or perhaps there’s something he’s hiding?” Abian asked, making Letta go silent. Letta actually had thoughts like that, but she tried to dismiss all the assumptions currently in her head. Because Letta was very certain that what was planned by Marco was the best for her. Even though currently Letta was trying to dig into her own past, it was merely because of her curiosity.
“I’m curious why you lost your memory after your husband covered everything up,” Abian said again, making Letta just smile. Letta did her best to give her friendly smile to Abian.
“I had an accident, and I have already asked the doctor about it. Ihad some injuries at that time, and I was in a coma for months. If you currently have negative thoughts about Marco, it’s better to let them go. Lam meeting you secretly because I don’t want to make Marco disappointed. Marco is only worried about me if I keep digging into my past, as it will have a negative impact on my health,” Letta said, making Abian go silent. It was very clear that Letta was currently defending her husband. It was very clear that she didn’t like it when Marco was being portrayed in a negative light.
“I’m sorry. I’m not accusing your husband. I just have suspicions that could happen to you,” Abian replied again, making Letta smile.
“Thank you for telling me everything, and I apologize if I made any mistakes in the past that still hurt you. Right now, I hope I can regain my memory soon, so I can greet you with the expression that I should show, because right now [ really feel awkward. I also know for sure that you feel it too,” Letta said, making Abian just smile. After that, he nodded.
“Yes, you’re right. But on the other hand, joy is dominating me right now,” Abian replied, making Letta go silent, seeing the smile that was spreading before her at the moment.
