Bitter Wedding
Unexpected


Come on, Bas, let's go home!" ana exclaims to Bastian who is still waiting for an answer from Eliza. But the woman still did not answer her question, finally she chose to go and go home with Ana back to her home.


"Thank you for the time, for accepting us to eat here together" Ana said, saying goodbye before they actually left Reino's house. Eliza just looked at Bastian's back with a question mark.


"Why did he send that to me?" inner Eliza.


"Would you like to go to a cafe?" tanya Reino breaks Eliza's daydream.


"Ah yes, in a moment," replied Eliza. He then went to the room to prepare to go to the cafe. Until there he was reunited with Bastian, whereas the man's working hours were only at night but he always came every morning like the others. Sometimes he would help Hilma and Hyunsik a little, otherwise he would sit all day playing his guitar. Maybe it was just a feeling Eliza or not Bastian didn't seem to want to stay in her house for long, so she chose to come to the cafe every morning and go home in the middle of the night.


Eliza was making a coffee order when her hand was accidentally exposed to hot water from the coffee.


"Oh!!!!" eliza groaned while wrapping her right hand using the apron she was wearing. There was so much he thought starting from Reino's unchanging attitude towards her and also Bastian's attitude that seemed to hold something that made Eliza curious.


"Are you okay, noona?" hyunsik asked, who approached Eliza who did not look well.


"It looks like Noona has to go to the hospital" he added.


"Yes El, do I want to go with you?" hilma said she was worried.


"No, just let me be alone. You guys better stay here because a lot of customers are waiting. It would be troublesome if only one person was on guard" Eliza replied.


"Let me accompany you" said Bastian who suddenly came.


"Oh right, you better go with Bastian. I'll call my husband later" Hilma said before Eliza left with Bastian.


"Please hurry up a little sir" Bastian told the taxi driver. He kept holding Eliza's hand wrapped in cloth. He was worried because the burns on his hands were indeed quite severe. Eliza looked at the face of the man next to her. She looked so anxious, something she had never felt from her husband. It's a sense of attention.


Bastian waits outside the room while Eliza gets medical attention. Until a while later the doctor came out and already allowed Bastian to enter. There he saw Eliza's hand being crushed. That means the burn is quite serious.


"I'm fine. A few more weeks are also healing" Eliza said as she caught anxiety on Bastian's face. He then glanced at the wedding ring that was above the nightstand. The doctor asked for permission to remove it when he would put a cast on his hand. Eliza then took the ring.


"Sorry, can you help me take this off?" eliza asked while trying to open the hook on the necklace she was wearing.


"Oh, yes wait," replied Bastian. Eliza then pulled her long hair forward so that Bastian would have no trouble removing the necklace. It was like there was a stream of electricity flowing when Bastian's hand accidentally touched his neck. But strangely enough it made Eliza feel comfortable and want that touch again. After Bastian managed to remove it, Eliza then put her wedding ring on the necklace so as not to disappear.


"May you help me again" asked Eliza to put the necklace back on her neck. Something that almost made Bastian's defense collapse when he saw Eliza's neckline. She wanted the woman to care no more about her husband.


"Why? Why should you?" bastian murmured.


"Why what?" eliza did not understand. He then twisted his body and looked at Bastian who was standing in front of him. Bastian's hand cupped Eliza's face and she kissed her lips right then and there.


Eliza was blank with the sudden treatment of Bastian. At first he thought that the man in front of him was Reino because Eliza was silent. But a few seconds later he regained his senses and tried to escape from Bastian.


"Why is he doing this?" eliza murmur. He looked at his face in the mirror. Didn't expect to get this kind of treatment from Bastian.


After calming down for quite a while, he intended to return to the room to ask Bastian's intention of doing this to her. But when he opened the door he did not see the man there. He only found a paper and a bunch of flowers lying on top of his safe. He then took the flowers.


"When did he buy it?" eliza asked herself. He opened the paper and there was Bastian's writing there.


"I'm sorry for my disrespectful treatment. I like you, and it's been a long time. You have no right to ban me because this is my feeling. For that matter please forget it, let me remember it for the rest of my life. All you need to know is that I won't stop liking you. I'm just gonna hold him like this all along. Oh yes, I've booked you a cab up front, so hurry home, otherwise the fare will be expensive as the argument goes on."


_Bastian_


Eliza smiled as she read Bastian's last sentence.


"Wait, why am I smiling. I should've been mad at him,"


"You've returned El?" hilma asked as she approached her friend. He saw Eliza's hand wrapped in a cast.


"Why not just go home?" he added.


"Where is that guy?" ask Eliza.


"People? Who do you mean?" tanya Hilma did not understand.


"Bastian, where is he?"


"He's... There was. Where ya? I don't know either" replied Hilma.


Hyunsik approached Eliza and Hilma after coming out of the toilet.


"Noona's back?" ask Hyunsik.


"Yes. Do you know where Bastian is?" ask Eliza back.


"Bastian? I saw him in the toilet. What's wrong?" hyunsik replied.


Without waiting any longer Eliza walked towards the men's toilet at the end of the cafe. He opened the door as if it didn't matter if it was a men's toilet. Some of the men there were surprised to see Eliza coming.


"Hey, this is the men's room. You got it wrong!" said one of the men there, then immediately came out because it was disturbed by the arrival of Eliza. But Eliza doesn't seem to care, especially when she finds Bastian in the corner of the toilet. The man also looked surprised by Eliza's arrival to the place.


"This is the men's toilet. What do you want to do?" ask Bastian. He is a little wary if Eliza will be angry with him especially if it is to fire him.


Bastian swallowed his saliva as Eliza walked over to him.
