Bonds Without Love
ITC #60

The next day, at exactly eight in the morning, Erina and Bhishma waited for the arrival of the former couple, just now Bisma got news Leo was still on his way because he was stuck in traffic. Krystal has not yet shown any signs of her arrival.

Erina was eager to curse Bisma who had just called Leo about fifteen minutes ago, but remembering the reason Bhishma forgot to call Leo made the woman choose silence and just sighed, she said, however Erina took part in making Bisma forget.

Last night, Erina pleaded with Bhishma so they did a few rounds before they both fell asleep. Even now Erina felt her whole body crumpled, but last night Erina still enjoyed it very much. Ah, Erina was embarrassed to remember.

"Max ..." Call Bhishma slowly, he admitted his mistake, if only yesterday Bhishma directly called Leo, surely now there would be no expression of annoyance and annoyance on Erina's face.

"Sorry." Lirih Bisma felt guilty when she saw Erina looking at her.

"Mas, they're coming." Erina said and gave the code to Bhishma to keep her mouth shut, they should look calm and natural, so that Erina ignored the words of Bhishma.

"Sorry late." It was not only Leo who said that, Krystal said and said the same thing, Krystal came in a hurry just to confirm Erina's words yesterday.

Leo and Krystal looked at each other for a while, before they both threw their faces away. Leo is still thinking about Krystal who hugged Bhishma yesterday.

Actually, Leo was very lazy to meet Bisma who was silent yesterday when Krystal hugged the man, but dealing with Bhishma meant that he would threaten his work.

Leo can only choose to obey Bhishma because he does not want to risk losing his job. Leo must remember that Bhishma could just throw it out of the office.

"You guys have come? sit down!" Erina said to Leo and Krystal, the former couple complied without looking at each other.

Leo felt something superficial when Erina said the words 'you' and 'have come' like they already had an appointment before meeting, but Leo pretended not to care.

Erina smiled wryly, then looked at Krystal and said. "I knew you were coming."

Erina did not intend to interfere with Leo or Krystal's personal affairs, she only intended to help Krystal find the answer to what the woman asked yesterday, so Erina deliberately brought them together.

Leo squinted at Erina's words, something that Leo could not understand, Erina and Krystal seemed to have met on purpose, but Leo doesn't understand the reason his ex-lover and his boss' wife made a pact to meet at this place.

"As I've said before, there's a misunderstanding between us." Erina said, then raised her right hand and raised Bhishma's right hand with the other hand, trying to show the ring on their finger.

"Our wedding is almost a month." Erina said as she lowered her hands after making sure Krystal saw her ring.

Erina did not mean to stress to Krystal that the man Krystal hugged yesterday was her husband, Erina just wanted to straighten out the misunderstanding that occurred. Erina also intends to tell Krystal that Leo is not married.

Krystal looked straight at Erina, for some reason her mind was suddenly blank. Krystal is relieved that Erina is not Leo's wife, but something is bothering her and Krystal is not sure what is bothering her.

Leo looked at Bisma trying to ask for an explanation with what was really going on. While Bisma was only able to shrug her shoulders because Erina told her to be quiet. Bisma was indeed a special obedient man for Erina.

"You've mistaken me, I'm not Leo's wife, I don't even know much about Leo except for him who works as my husband's personal secretary" Erina explained.

Leo tried hard to digest Erina's words, she looked at Krystal who threw away her face. Leo also needs an explanation, but Bhishma is silent and keeps her mouth shut.

"Leo, is this why you don't have a boyfriend yet? you still like Miss Krystal?" Erina asked turned to Leo.

Impressed as familiar, but Erina had to do it for her plan to succeed. Because according to the story of Bhishma during the journey to where they are today, Leo also still loves Krystal very much.

Leo speechless gets a question like that from Erina, it's true that Leo has no lover because he can't forget Krystal, but Leo is still confused about where Erina knows her relationship with Krystal.

"Leo, my wife asked you." Tegur Bisma feel not at home there, the problem is that Bisma continues to remember the events of yesterday.

Bisma feels Krystal's embrace imprint also reminds her of their past, she was once Krystal's heartache impingement on Leo, actually all this time there is a secret that Bhishma kept for herself.

Bisma just remembered that Erina was not the first woman to kiss him, Krystal became the first woman, Krystal had kissed Bisma right on her lips and Bhishma felt that she had betrayed Erina.

Leo cleared his throat before answering. "Miss Erin, I think you're the one who misunderstood me-"

"Leo, don't say anything that will make you regret, you better talk, me and Bhishma will go." Erina interrupted Leo's words, then got up from her seat and pulled the hand of Bhishma.

Bhishma stood up as Erina wished, she glanced at Krystal who lowered her face. She could see the woman's hands clenched under the table, as Leo and Krystal did take some time to talk to each other.

"We go first!" Erina continued, then pulled out Bhishma's hand and left their table.

Leo sighed when he saw Erina and Bhishma walking quickly out of the restaurant. Leo does not know what good he will say to the ex-lover who once left him.

"As you can see, I'm fine, I eat late every day and I also take vitamins, I still follow what you said back then." Answer Leo flatly.

Krystal cleared her throat, she remembered that Leo had never eaten regularly. Because Leo does not have parents who will prepare his meal, Leo does rarely eat.

Leo's only family is Bhishma, but even though Bhishma invites him to a meal together, Leo always has a reason to refuse, he does not want to be a burden to his friend.

Leo had sex with his lover one night in the room and asked Bhishma not to protest, but that was only because Leo felt frustrated after leaving Krystal.

"Oh." Krystal nodded in understanding despite being slightly distracted by the last sentence Leo said. Did Leo really follow him?

"Leo-"

"Krystal, don't you feel like you have something to explain to me?" Leo asked cutting Krystal's words.

"Why are you hiding from me? what's wrong?" Leo took a breath.

"You already know the reason-"

"No, I don't know the reason at all. I did sleep with my ex-boyfriend, but I was framed because he didn't accept I decided." Leo interrupted Krystal.

"Krystal, I've never cheated on you, because you're my affair, but I decided to make you the only one until the unlucky day came to me and you left me."

Leo looked at Krystal while saying that, then laughed.

"I've tried to convince myself that I've done something wrong to you that you chose to leave, but the fact that I've done my best to keep you from getting hurt continues to torment me."

Leo took a breath before returning to talk. "Why should it be like this? why do you hate me so much? why did it feel this sick when you chose to leave me?"

Leo stopped talking because his chest felt tight, Krystal had already shed tears since she heard Leo's words.

"Leo, I've never hated you, for a second I've never felt hate for you."

While elsewhere, Bisma still hasn't driven her car, the man continues to fall silent and leaves Erina astonished at him.

"Mas, why? is something bothering you?" Ask Erina.

Bisma turned her head quickly towards Erina and nodded. "Hm. Erin, I haven't had my morning kiss today."

Erina cleared her throat loudly hearing that, she did not expect her husband to turn into a slightly perverted man since yesterday.

Actually, Bhishma was disturbed due to the shadow in the past, but Bhishma could not possibly say that to Erina. Afraid Erina was angry at him.

Bisma draws herself closer to Erina when her wife is silent, and she intends to kiss Erina's thin lips but Erina pushes her faster.

"Mas, I'm afraid someone's seen us." Erina said softly and made Bisma chuckle.

"Nobody's gonna see us in the car, come on!" Bisma whines to get her morning kiss because she wants to erase memories that have disturbed her in the past.

"really?" Erina asked as she looked out the car glass, she was not so sure of what Bhishma had just said.

"Hm, right, I don't dare lie to you." Reply Bhishma put on a serious face.

"Oh." Erina swallowed her saliva, then brought herself closer to Bhishma and kissed her husband's lips gently.

Bisma smiled, then held back Erina's nape and returned Erina's kiss was no less tender, not only was a short kiss like Erina's intention, they kissed longer than that, they did kiss longer than that, it was so long before they both felt oxygen deficient.
