HOW CAN I NOT LOVE YOU
Chapter 24 - Remembrance That Night

Ria and Lanny actually come to Alabama Florist as Ria wishes. Although Lanny was a bit hesitant, but she could only follow what the Big Brother ordered.

Sure enough Lanny's guess, when she arrived at the flower shop, they were immediately greeted by the flower shop owner unfriendly.

" I'm sorry, Ma'am. I can't give Anin or Mr. Ricky's number to just anyone. Moreover, that person had clearly done evil to Anin!" Lucy knew how Anindita had to be driven from her husband's home very cruelly, because of the behavior of the two women before her at this time.

" Why are you two meeting and asking for Anin's address now anyway? Is it because now that Anin is already the wife of a rich man, you want to take advantage of Anin's kindness?!" Lucy is even worse off by saying that Ria and Lanny want to meet with Anindita just because they want to take advantage of Anindita's weakness.

" I'm sorry, Mom. I have no intention of using Anin, even though she is currently the wife of a rich man! After all, yesterday when we met, Anin's own husband made an appointment to meet, really!" refutation Ria dismissed accusations Lucy who said if he and Lanny want to take advantage of Anindita.

" Wouldn't it be that when Anin and Mr Ricky asked these Mothers to meet, you didn't come there? Why else would you see Anin? Do you want to take Fatma's mother back after you dump her into the nursing home!?" lucy's insinuation is cynical.

" Mom, stop! We better get out of here! It is also free that we continue to defend, no one will believe!" Lanny pulls Ria's arm and takes her brother out of Alabama Florist.

" It's so fucking rude of that guy! Just saying we're using Anin!" Ria still seems annoyed at Lucy's remarks which she considers outrageous and demeaning.

" We'd better go home, ma'am! We'll be back later if Mr. Ricky is back from his leave next week." Lanny advises her brother to patiently wait for Ricky's return from his childhood.

Ricky tidied the strands of Anindita's hair that stuck to the cheek because of the sweat due to their love activities that they finally did. Ricky can hear Anindita's gasping breath, it looks like the game is making the wife really tired.

" Mad, it's ...!" Anindita put away Ricky's hand that was tidying her hair. Moreover, the man continued it by showering the moist face of Anindita with a kiss. So Anindita thought if her husband wanted to start the activity of making love again. Ricky actually gave a kiss as an expression of Ricky's gratitude to his wife.

" I'm not going to repeat it now, Anin. I don't want you to suddenly faint from being overwhelmed by my service," Ricky sneered at his wife who was afraid she might attack him again.

" Basic ..." Anindita nodded her lips and smacked Ricky in the chest.

" You're so pretty, Anin." Now Ricky's hand is stroking his wife's pretty face. " Sometimes I'm grateful that night I met you" he continued.

Anindita suddenly rounded her eyes to respond to the husband's statement.

" Mas Ricky, I mean, Ricky was happy that night to rape me, did you!?"

" That's not what I meant. Anine. I am not grateful for what I did to you. I'm just grateful, God brought us together that finally we are fooled even through the winding road ..." Ricky propped his head up with his hands fixedly staring at his wife.

" Did Ricky not regret getting a wife like me?" This time it was Anindita's hand that rubbed her husband's jaw.

" Of course I never regretted it, Anin. Because, maybe unwittingly if my heart has been attached to you since we first met." Ricky chuckles at the thought of their first truly embarrassing encounter for him. He did not know Anindita but he had tarnished Anindita who was then working as a mini market employee owned by Koh Leo.

" I used to go that way. Usually, there are friends who accompany you. Coincidentally that day my friend didn't go to work, so I went home alone." Anindita explained.

" It's dangerous for a girl like you to come home alone at night, Anin. Good thing it wasn't another guy who met you that night." It was inconceivable that another man had desecrated Anindita at that time. Not necessarily Anindita can live happily like now.

" In fact Koh Leo offered to go home, but I refused. I'm not good, Mom. Sending by the boss home. Fear there is a bad assumption from other minimarket employees or neighbors who see." Anindita explained why she did not accept Koh Leo's offer.

" Why then did you not feel afraid that night when you saw me?" ask Ricky back. At that time, Anindita did not show any fear when she met him even though he was a stranger. In fact, Anindita tried to help him which caused a fatal mistake made by Ricky, because he was affected by stimulants.

" I don't think Mas is a bad guy. I also saw Mas like feeling pain and tormented, eating it I help Mas Ricky. I did not expect precisely because of that I had to .. lose my crown," said Anindita. Although Ricky is now her husband, but the events of the rapper she experienced was the worst thing in her life.

" I'm sorry, I scared you" Ricky said. " Oh yeah, I still have your hairband that you wore that night." Ricky told me that Anindita's hairband left in Ricky's car, when he executed Anindita in his car he still kept it.

" Here time, Mas? Which hair tie?" Anindita herself had forgotten the hair tie she was wearing that night.

" I still keep it in the office drawer. I'll take her home."

" No need, Mom. Better throw it away!" Anindita did not want to keep any of her memories that night, although Ricky is now her husband.

" Yes, I'll throw it away. Actually I kept it so I could find you, Anin."

" My hair ties are sold in the market a lot, Mas. It's cheap, a lot of people wear hair ties like that." Even though he forgot which hair tie he was wearing, but he knew that the hair tie he had was a cheap hair tie.

" Yes, you better take a shower, after this we'll eat outside." Ricky had Anindita clean her body first.

" We're eating out, Mommy?"

" Yes, you don't have to be afraid of that Johan. I've reported the resort owner to keep an eye on the person named Johan so as not to be misbehaving with us" Ricky said trying to calm Anindita down so as not to worry about Johan's whereabouts at the resort.
