I'm Not a Seductive Woman
Burying the past 1

Since sitting on the Junior High School bench, Vely was taken by one of the relatives of her mother and lived with them. This was done to reduce the burden of Vicky, because at that time Vicky was still in school and just sat in High School.

Velicia meets Gunawan at the end of the year, when they are enjoying their midterm vacation. At that time, Vely was sitting in the ninth grade of Junior High, he was close to his compatriot who was Gunawan's cousin, or the son of Gunawan's uncle. At that time Gunawan uncle was still living in Jakarta. At that time, they wanted to vacation to their hometown in Solo. And, Vely was invited by his friend's family. It was there that he met Gun and became familiar, because for one week they were in the same house, the house of Gunawan's grandmother in Solo. Until the time Vely and his uncle returned to Jakarta, Gun expressed interest in Velicia and began dating. Vely who was afraid of Vicky never told his lover to his sister.

Since he knew Vicky, Gunawan also only played a few times to his home. There are not many photos of Vicky's family, there are only photos of the three children as a child. They also play more often at the house of Gunawan which is indeed bigger. In addition, when close to Kenan, their basecamp moved to Kenan's house, especially at Kenan's house currently provided a music studio by Kean, making these three people more comfortable playing in that house.

Gunawan knows that Vicky has a twin sister, named Vedy and Vely according to Vicky's story. However, Gunawan has only ever met Vedy not with Vely. And again, when he became acquainted with Vely, Vicky's sister even mentioned the name with her nickname alone. Therefore, Gunawan only knew the name of the woman was Cia.

Many things that Vely had gone through, after Gunawan dumped him. However, it made Vely strong and tried to stand up. Although Vicky never knew the incident, but Vely still felt guilty. He felt guilty about the brother who had fought for his younger siblings. Therefore, he wants to prove himself to his brother that he can be successful, as well as to make up for the guilt. Then, he really pursued the dream until finally the opportunity to study in Australia was obtained. Of course, also with the role of the brother and Kenan.

Exactly one week ago, Vely got Kenan's wedding invitation from Vicky. Vely must be present, because Kenan's services are too much for him. Unintentionally, Vely saw Kenan's invitation lying on his girlfriend's desk when he came to her office. Finally, they left for Indonesia together, while Vely visited his newborn nephew and his fiancee who wanted the cooperation of Indonesian businessmen, he said, although Vely never knew that his fiancee was working with a man who had ruined his life.

At that time, Vely bought baby supplies for his newborn twin. And, at the same time, he met Gunawan at that place. Meeting Gunawan is like opening up the distant past he has buried deeply. Since that bad incident, Vely promised herself to look no further back, especially now that she has got a man who loves her as sincerely as Dave. Although initially his innocence was always used by some men he met. However, Dave finally comes like an equestrian prince who recovers his heart and restores his trust in love.

The Flashback

Gunawan is already in the cafe in accordance with the place they have agreed to together. The cafe is in the middle between the Aditama residence and the hotel where they collided. The cafe is also one of the cafes that Kiara visited because Kiara really likes the vanilla latte made by the cafe.

Gunawan sits at the sides near the glass with clear glass that can be seen from the outside. He waits for Vely's arrival and forgets his promise to Kiara. He just wanted to apologize to Velicia, so that the future of his life no longer felt difficult.

Ten minutes of Gunawan waiting, Vely finally came. Gunawan saw the woman opening the cafe door. He turned his head and looked at Velicia who was walking over to him. Veli kept smiling towards Gunawan. Gunawan returned the smile and it turned out that his heart was ordinary, no more tremors or thumping in his heart. That meant, he had no more feelings for this woman of his past.

“Sorry, wait a long time,” said Velicia as she shifted the chair in front of Gunawan and sat there.

“Ah, ngga. Not an hour yet,” replied Gunawan smiling.

Velicia smiled. However, for a moment they fell silent, at a loss to begin the conversation from where.

“Oh yes, what do you want to order? Let me order,” Gunawan start the conversation.

Velicia nodded, then mentioned the drink she wanted. Then, Gunawan called the waiters and ordered a drink for Vely.

“Ekehm.” Gunawan straightened his body.

Veli also looks awkward, even though he actually does not have any feelings for the man sitting in front of him.

“How are you doing?” ask Velicia.

They both spoke and asked the news together. Then, they smile.

“You first,” said Gun.

“No, you first, because you are the one who invited me to meet,” replied Velicia.

“Good.” Gunawan took a rough breath.

Gunawan put both his hands on the table. He slightly tasted the drink before he could speak.

“Cia, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I never called you back then. I was so busy with my world that I forgot about you. And when I remember you, you are lost in the earth. I tried to find your whereabouts, but did not meet.” Gunawan looked at the two eyeballs of Velicia. He said really. “Cia, forgive me.”

Velicia just smiled wryly. He remembered again thirteen years ago, where the dark times occurred.

“Yes, you are indeed an irresponsible man.”

Gunawan. “Sorry, Cia.”

“It feels like I want to hit you, scratch you, and kick you hard.” Velicia's eyes started to glaze over. “Many things happened to me back then, sister. Tons.”

Veli felt his heart back in tightness, as when Gunawan forgot about him.

“What at that time you were pregnant?” ask Gunawan.

Veli looked at Gunawan sharply. “Ya.”

Gunawan's body froze. He lowered his head even more. Apparently, he had become a father at the age of twenty. Gunawan's eyes began to tear.

“Then, where is he now? He must have grown up, he was twelve or he was about to enter thirteen. She has SMP?” ask Gunawan enthusiastically.

However, Velicia was silent. Really, it was the darkest time of his life. The worst of times that almost made him want to end himself. However, the faces of the two parents who were gone, as well as the face of the brother who always loved him made himself aware and determined to rise.
