INSECURE, Love of the Past
Misunderstand

After I say that, there is no more topic of conversation that we are talking about. And we waited long enough for Ivan and Daffa but they did not return. Finally we both took the initiative to catch up with Ivan.

* POV Ivan

I purposely left Maria with Aldi both to extract information from Maria. I want to know how Mary feels about me. I went to the minimarket together with Daffa, after a long time Daffa went to the toilet.

And I bought snacks and drinks for the four of us, but because the queue at the cashier was pretty much what we were long to go back there. Daffa said it was common for minimarket holidays to be full of customers.

I was waiting in line while Daffa was waiting for me outside. Because bete I opened my phone and I saw a message from a number I didn't know.

'Van, it's Sandra.. I want to let you know that next Sunday we will meet Kayla's mother and we will go to Indra's house. Tell Mary too..'

A message from Sandra that made me upset. I don't know if I can see Maria crying again for the umpteenth time when she meets Indra's mother? But if not to meet how? I promised I'd take her to meet Indra's mother.

I daydreamed until I didn't realize that the person in front of me was no more. I also paid for the groceries I bought. I went out and saw Daffa looking at a picture of Mary. He was surprised by my arrival and hid the photo immediately.

"Daf, is that a picture of Maria?" Ask him.

"I. yes, Van.." He replied nervously and it made me suspicious of Daffa.

"Can I see? Where do you have a picture of Maria? How did you make the picture?" I asked full of search.

"That's a photo that was stored with Indra long before Maria's creation. He always carried the picture in his wallet. Before the accident, Indra had told me I had to take care of Maria." The answer.

"So this is a picture of Maria that Indra has?" Ask again.

"Yes Van. And now that photo I'm keeping. If you mind, you can take that photo." The answer.

I returned the photo to Daffa.

"It's okay Daf, you keep it.." My speech.

Daffa seemed surprised when I returned the photo to him, maybe he thought I would get angry.

Daffa kept a picture of Mary in his wallet again. Actually I was a little jealous of Daffa, but I thought again what jealous people who helped me make Mary.

We were both going back to Maria and Aldi. But on the side of the road not far from the minimarket there is a girl who wants to be slapped by a man, maybe it's her boyfriend. I did not see her face because of her position facing the girl, so I only saw her back.

When she had already swung her hand, the girl covered her face and I shouted towards the two of them.

"Heyy.." I shouted very loudly, making the two of them turn their heads towards me. I ran towards them so that I was between them, while Daffa was behind me.

It was like I knew that man.. He right??

"Domand.." My speech..

"Sister Ivan?" He replied a little surprised by my existence.

"Why are you here? Don't be rude to girls, Den." My speech.

And the girl looked at me fixedly, her puffy eyes probably out crying.

"I'm on a study tour to the white crater Kak. And this is my boyfriend making trouble that makes me feel ashamed, so I'm laughing emotionally." The answer.

When Dendi spoke to me, the girl fainted because she closed her eyes. And just as I was about to answer Dendi's words, she fell into my arms. My reflex caught his body falling towards my body.

Dendi and Daffa panicked to see the girl faint, I was just as panicked as she was in my arms right now. I gave my car keys to Daffa and told him to bring my car here, while Dendi would ask his teacher for permission to come home early.

"Sister, I'm sorry before, but I have to ask the teacher's permission first to go home early. I'll just drop him off for a second." Dendi.

"Yes, don't slow down." My answer. And he ran away.

I had to hold her body with my hands and her position was like I was holding her. I turned my face away from her because I did not want to look at the face of any woman other than Maria.

"Sister Ivan??" Maria's soft voice surprised me.

He was glued, his eyes were teary and I suddenly released the girl's body and Aldi immediately caught the girl's body.

"Darling, it's not what you think it is.. I'm.." I was so afraid that Maria would be mad at me.

"Aku nggak butuh penjelasan Kak!!" Maria pergi begitu saja tanpa melihat ke arahku dan gadis itu.

She ran and I saw her tears running down her cheeks. I told Aldi that I was going after Maria, and that Daffa would come there with a car.

"Darling, wait." I screamed for Maria, but she kept running.

Maria didn't hear me keep calling her, until I sped up my run so I could chase after her.

He was about to cross, but a truck was speeding very fast from the east. As much as I tried to get closer to Maria and as the truck was about to hit Maria, I pulled her and we fell down, putting my body over her tiny body.

"Darling, you're okay, right?" I was so worried about him.

"Yes, but Big Brother's body is heavy.. I can't breathe this." The answer.. I forgot that my body was on top of that tiny body.

"Ma.. Sorry dear.. I didn't intentionally.." I stood up and helped Maria to stand up as well.

I hugged the tiny body and wiped away her tears. I apologized to him because he must have been sad and thought nothing of me.

"Sorry baby, you misunderstood me.. I saw that girl about to be slapped by Dendi, Sandra's sister." Obviously me.

"Huh? Her sister Sandra?" Maria was surprised by my words.

"Yes, Dendi's Sandra's sister. And Sandra texted me earlier, if we're going to meet Kayla's mother and go to Indra's house."

"When?"

"Next week, baby.. I'll drive you later."

"Are you still angry with me?" I let go of my embrace and looked into his eyes. I touched her cheeks with both hands.

"I wouldn't be interested in any woman other than you. I, JUST LOVE YOU." I brought my face closer to her and kissed her lips again, Mary just fell silent.

'I'm sorry baby, I kissed your lips again for the second time.'

"I love you, I'm so scared that you're mad at me. Daffa testified that if you don't believe, he can explain everything." I said again and Mary remained unmoved, she did not answer my words at all.

"Why you, baby?" I'm panicking Maria didn't respond to everything I said, she must be mad at me.

"Darling.." I was about to kiss her again but Maria turned away the face I held with both hands.

"I.. I'm jealous to see you with another woman." The answer. Who still turned his face away. Mary did not look me in the eye when she said that.

And I feel like Maria really loves me. I'm glad Maria can be jealous because she's usually a bitch.

It makes me feel like I've become a person who means a lot to Maria.

I hugged her again and rubbed her hair. "I just love you whenever. I just want to look at your face forever. And I just want you to be the only woman present in my life, now, later and forever."

Mary was crying in my arms (Again).
