Agatha Anderson
Agatha Anderson — The Past That Came Back

...No one knows how deep or shallow the human heart is. It was a part of a secret that could not be easily explored....

...Likewise with the past, no one has ever known the gray or dark black traces of a person's past. But the past usually leaves behind vestiges of regret that must be covered up and pursued with better redemption in the future....

Today is October 4th, exactly one year ago, he took the oath in front of the woman he loved.

Yes, it does not feel like time has passed and it has been one year that they have become husband and wife. And Christ felt 'enough' happy with it because their household life was still not fully complete.

As you know that they have promised not to touch more than the skinship they have agreed. Just imagine for 1 year Christ had to struggle to hold back to brake himself and not 'attack' his wife suddenly while they were together. He did not want to break the promise even though it was already quite torturous. But Christ can accept it because he considers this part of his struggle to get Agatha's heart fully.

There was still 1 year left of their deal, even though he was eager to clear the deal and make them forever.

Today Christ plans to take Agatha to dinner, hopefully he can make it in time because he is now in Manhattan, New York. Not a short time to go home, is it?

Actually he himself was quite upset why his work schedule should be on this date, and he could not just ask Leon to replace him because his cousin was now in Japan.

He knew his wife might have forgotten the date of their wedding anniversary. Agatha also definitely did not pay attention to such things considering her wife barely marked the calendar if it was not for any contracts or appointments related to work. That was helped by Joshua. Sometimes Christ feels very grateful there is Joshua on his wife's side even though he also sometimes feels jealous but there is at least someone he can trust when he himself is busy with work like now.

He and Arthur had been here since two days ago, as their current affairs were quite time consuming. And it should be the last day.

Arthur had just walked into his room without knocking on the door as usual with his clothes tidy.

"Go now?" tanyakanya.

"It's better, because according to Lewis later Mr. Gerald will come. I myself am not sure if that person will actually come," muttered Arthur who seemed to have grown tired of the matter waiting.

"Well, that person always messes up the schedule by showing up suddenly or cancelling out suddenly" Christ said. "I hope he comes this time even though it's not actually necessary because his company representative has already submitted the documents to us based on his approval as well right?"

"Oh, it's always like that, isn't it? If he wasn't a big client, I wouldn't have handled it" said Arthur, who appeared to be holding back.

To be honest, this brother has an attitude and temperament that is more easily angry than him. Arthur is not as patient as Christ but that does not mean he is a bad person, only he is more courageous and quick in making decisions and risks that are in front of him.

"I want us back today, today is my wedding anniversary. I want to take my wife to dinner to celebrate" complained Christ who was preparing to take the car keys. "I miss him a lot too."

Arthur rotates his eyeballs to hear the confession and grievances of his sister. Even though he was married but in front of him sometimes Christ is still like a boy.

"Based on childishness, you're no longer a newlywed why are you acting so laughably?"

"I love my wife every day just as much as when I was newly married. So I still feel like we're newly married."

Both of them have now reached the bottom floor and are heading to the basement where their cars are located.

"But Christ, it's been a year since you've been married. When are you gonna give me a nephew?" asked Arthur who immediately stopped Christ's hand that opened the door of his car.

"Ah, that. later I will try, haha," he replied with a stiff-sounding laugh. And it did not escape the attention of the brother.

"What's wrong? Agatha doesn't want to have children?" arthur's question sounded so piercing to Christ.

If only the problem were that easy.

The main problem is that we are not connected more than just hugs and kisses agreed upon.

If I could even want to have children soon, but what if we didn't even 'sleep' together?

Had they known what was going on between us, I'm sure they would have rewarded him with a swearing and I wouldn't have them blame Agatha.

The two were silent during their trip to the office. Arthur is busy with work while Christ drives with a tangled mind.

Today he should have prepared a happy heart for their anniversary, instead of being distracted by Arthur's previous questions.

It has been 45 minutes they are in this room even the coffee that was originally hot is now cold because it was not touched at all by the two men who are now researching the data file with the face bent irritated.

True, the meeting with the company was over about 45 minutes ago until the private secretary of Mr. Gerald came and informed the master on the way to meet them and asked the two men to wait.

"Do we have to wait any longer?" annoyed Christ who had been busy looking at his watch restlessly. "We'll miss our flight time this way."

"You don't think I'm upset? I really wanted to leave since. Alea has been bothering me since by calling. He wants his papa home soon." 

Alea is the only 4-year-old daughter of Arthur and Christ knows how adorable her niece is. No wonder Arthur is sometimes willing to sacrifice his time for overtime to accompany his little daughter at certain hours.

"Do we go and tell his secretary that we have to catch the flight time?" christ's proposal was already unsettled.

And after weighing for a while Arthur got up to his feet making his sister sigh in relief because they could finally go home.

Just as they were about to open the door, the two were startled by the door leaf that opened first and the person they were talking about appeared at the door.

"Winston, where are you going?" asked the old man without hesitation and instead showed a smile that made the brothers upset.

"I'm sorry but we have to leave immediately Mr. Gerald, we've been waiting for you for more than 45 minutes and we have to rush to catch the plane" Arthur replied firmly, the man seems to have run out of patience.

"That's not the case, Mr. Winston, we haven't seen each other in a long time and this time we're doing a great deal of cooperation. I've taken my time to meet you guys, "the man said without embarrassment.

"You've wasted 45 minutes of our time. Sorry," Arthur looks not to continue this any longer anyway their cooperation agreement has been signed accordingly.

"I'm sorry about that, because I have to fulfill the wishes of someone who would love to meet you, especially you, young Winston" he said, turning to Christ.

"What do you mean?"

And with a big smile the old man opened the door to let someone in.

"Hi, Christ. Long time no see," said a beautiful woman with shoulder-length black hair who was now stepping closer to Christ and then suddenly kissed his cheek in front of everyone.

"I miss you, Babe."

And Christ felt like a fool, standing there as if hypnotized and letting the unnatural happen. His brain immediately stopped functioning.

"Neona?" he said softly when his net was looking directly at the dark blue bead of the woman who had just kissed him without hesitation.
