It’S Me Again
Chapter 3

Meanwhile, Michael feels guilty after seeing Annisa leave. He knew that Annisa must have felt hurt after learning about Ivy. He decides to look for Annisa and tries to explain everything to her.

Michael felt very heavy in his heart after seeing Annisa crying alone in the corner of the bar. She doesn't know what to do, because on one hand she still loves Annisa very much, but on the other she feels she can't leave Ivy.

As Ivy asked the question about Annisa, Michael's heart was pounding. She feels like she should tell Ivy about her relationship with Annisa, but she also feels fear of losing Ivy.

Michael is very hesitant and hesitant about whether he should follow his heart or keep his relationship with Ivy because he is committed to marrying her.

In his heart, Michael felt doubtful about his decision to get engaged to Ivy. He begins to question whether Ivy really is the right partner for him, or if he just feels comfortable because they have known each other for years.

Michael feels that his relationship with Annisa has more depth, but he is also afraid that he only sees Annisa from the wrong point of view. He did not know whether Annisa felt the same way as him or not.

After a while of looking at the crying Annisa, Michael finally decided to approach Annisa.

"Annisa, what's going on? What makes you cry?" michael asked with concern.

Annisa turned her head towards Michael and was silent for a moment before finally answering in a stammering voice, "I. I just feel sad."

Michael is worried to see Annisa crying sadly, and he feels that he should tell Annisa about his relationship with Ivy.

"Annisa, there's something I need to tell you. Ivy, the girl you met last night, is my fiancee" Michael said in a trembling voice.

Annisa was shocked and could not utter a word. He felt mixed feelings in his heart, sad to learn that Michael already had a fiancee, but also disappointed to feel that their relationship that had been felt special turned out to be just an illusion.

"I don't know what to say, Michael. I feel sad," Annisa finally said in a soft voice.

"I know it's hard, Annisa. But I hope you can understand the situation. I still love you, but I'm committed to marrying Ivy, too" Michael said in a sad tone.

Annisa felt her heart getting sicker, and she could only look down while crying. Michael feels sad to see Annisa cry, but he knows that he must continue his life with Ivy.

"I hope we can still be friends, Annisa. I don't want our relationship to break down because of this" Michael said expectantly.

Annisa nodded slowly, and she knew that she had to try to forget her feelings for Michael. He can only pray for happiness to find Michael with Ivy.

A few days after the office fashion event, Annisa still feels the burden of the mind is quite heavy. Whenever he thought about Michael, feelings of sadness and disappointment still continued to haunt him. That day, Annisa left for work with a heavy and uninspired heart. He was afraid to meet Michael, worried that he could not hold his emotions and make the office atmosphere uncomfortable.

When Annisa had entered the room, Michael approached her. "Annisa, I want to talk to you" he said in a soft voice.

Annisa looked at Michael with a cold look. He felt that he was not ready to discuss anything with Michael at the time. "Sorry, Michael, I'm busy. We can talk later," he said as he passed away.

Michael was disappointed to see Annisa continuing to avoid him. He knows that the situation is difficult and he doesn't know how else to fix it. He hopes that time will heal the wounds in Annisa's heart and he can still maintain a good relationship with Annisa as a friend.

A few weeks later, Annisa tries to forget her feelings for Michael and focus on her work. He began socializing with his co-workers and enjoyed his job as a magazine editor.

Although Annisa still feels sad when remembering memories with Michael, she begins to understand that the happiness of others is also her own happiness. He hopes that Michael and Ivy will be happy together, and he feels relieved that their relationship is still good as friends.

When Annisa sees Michael in the office, she no longer feels scared or sad. He could even smile and talk to Michael as usual, without any awkwardness or feeling too deep. He knows that his feelings are still there, but he also knows that he can overcome them and maintain a good relationship with Michael as a friend.

….

Annisa is walking in New York City on a cold night. He felt sad and tired because of his piled up work. He sees a newly opened restaurant and decides to go inside to warm himself up and have dinner.

Annisa enters the restaurant that just opened and is greeted by the smell of delicious food. He was hungry and wanted to try the dishes offered at the restaurant. When he looked in the kitchen, he was surprised to see Reynold, his former lover who became the chef at the restaurant.

Reynold was also surprised to see Annisa and the two stared at each other without speaking. Finally Reynold decided to approach Annisa and say hello.

"Annisa, long time no see. How are you?" reynold asked with a friendly smile.

Annisa felt a little awkward, but then returned Reynold's greeting. "Good news. How's yours?"

Reynold answered with a smile. "I'm doing fine. I'm glad to see you again after so long. Would you like to try the special dish I made today?"

Annisa nodded and Reynold invited Annisa to sit at a table that had been prepared for her. Reynold then cooked some special dishes for Annisa, as he used to do for her.

Annisa enjoyed the dish voraciously and looked happy. However, in his heart there was still a complicated feeling when he was reunited with Reynolds. He still remembers their breakup and is afraid of being stuck in a painful past.

After she finished eating, Annisa decided to go and pay the bill at the cashier. Reynold tries to hold Annisa back and asks her to speak longer, but Annisa has already decided to leave.

"Thank you for a nice dinner, Reynold. But I have to go.”
