Love Without Memory
Meet Aleea

Evan was still with Aleea in the room. He was silent for a while before he answered Aleea's question.

"I don't remember at all how we used to meet and what our relationship used to be like, but you're very kind to me Evan, even sometimes I feel you're much better than Nathan," aelea said to disperse Evan's daydream.

"I'm not that good Aleea and Nathan aren't that bad either, don't we all have good and bad sides in us?" reply Evan.

"You're right, but as far as I can tell I've only found the goodness of you Evan" Aleea said.

"You just don't know much about me Aleea yet" Evan replied with a smile.

"Tell me Evan, what should I know about you!" aelea.

"You'll find out as Aleea goes on, but I can definitely get to know you because you're Nathan's girlfriend" Evan replies.

"Nathan knows me?" asked Aleea who was reciprocated by a nod of the head by Evan.

"I really know how stubborn Nathan has been since a long time ago, that's what made him never have a lover so far, besides he is also a man who only focuses on his goals, especially his career and your presence gave me new hope for Aleea" Evan said.

"New hope? what hope do you mean?" aelea asked not to understand.

"Hope to make Nathan change" Evan replied with a look at Aleea.

"Changed?" aelea asked repeating Evan's words.

"Yes, with you next to Nathan, I really hope you'll be able to change Nathan's bad attitude, although it's not easy but I'm sure Nathan will be able to change better as long as you're next to him" Evan explained.

"You're expecting Evan too much" Aleea replied by lowering her head, recalling how she had to do with Nathan back then.

"I know it's not easy for Aleea, that's why I'm always among you, I just want to make sure you're always okay and Nathan doesn't make you sad, I'm sure Aleea is as hard as Nathan is, he'll melt with the love that grows in his heart" Evan said.

"She even easily forgot her love for me Evan, so now there is absolutely no hope for you!" aelea.

"Hope will always be Aleea, you're still Nathan's wife!" said Evan.

"And maybe soon he'll divorce me" Aleea replied.

"Don't talk like that Aleea, right now maybe Nathan is mad at you, but I'm sure that someday he'll feel how sad he is when he loses the woman he loves," said Evan.

"And that woman is not me" Aleea replied with a look at Evan.

"Why? don't you love him anymore?" ask Evan.

Aleea took a deep breath and exhaled slowly then moved from her seat and shook her head.

"Of Evan, I was even wondering if we used to love each other, but I couldn't play around with my marriage and decided to trust all of Nathan's words, but in the end that trust hurt me," aelea.

Evan then got up from his seat and stood in front of Aleea holding onto Aleea's shoulders.

"I'm sure you're still in love, the pain and sadness you feel is because you love Aleea" Evan said, looking into Aleea's eyes.

Aleea then removed both of Evan's hands from his shoulders and returned to sit on the edge of the bed.

"I feel sad and hurt because I trusted her too much and you were right, maybe I loved her with my trust in her even though at first I doubted my relationship with her" Aleea said.

"For now stay here Aleea, think carefully before you make any decisions and you have to remember that I'll always be ready to help whenever you need me" Evan said.

Aleea simply nodded her head with a smile and raised her head to look at Evan standing before her.

"Now rest Aleea, tonight it's your turn to sleep in the room" said Evan, who was returned with a nod of the head by Aleea.

Elsewhere, Nathan had just arrived at his house. He walked into the house and inexplicably stopped for a while, staring at the living room sofa in his house.

Without Nathan realizing it, there was something that felt lost when there was no Aleea who usually always welcomed his return.

Nathan let out a rough sigh then continued his steps up the stairs.

"Hasn't he back yet?" inner Nathan asked as he stared at Aleea's room door for a while.

"Non Aleea hasn't come back, sir, shouldn't we just report to the police!" said the aunt who suddenly came.

"No need, he'll definitely be home soon" Nathan replied and walked into his room.

Nathan threw himself on the bed and looked up at the ceiling of his room. Nathan has always been used to it. He will only be busy with his work and trying to expand the business he manages himself.

There was no time for Nathan to think about women, what else he intended to have a serious relationship with women.

He still did not understand why the mother suddenly forced him to get married and gave a threat that made him have no other choice to follow the mother's request.

In the end he really has to be in a relationship with a girl who lost her memory, Nathan thinks with Aleea's memory loss, it will make it easier for him to get his company.

Nathan had no idea that going through a mock marriage was so difficult for him.

When he had succeeded in convincing Aleea, it was precisely he who quickly felt fed up with his own pretense.

Nathan realized, what he had done to Aleea must have hurt Aleea, but Nathan did not care because he was tired of pretending.

Nathan thought that showing Aleea his true attitude would make things better, but in reality it didn't change anything.

Problems like coming back and forth, as if he was testing Nathan. Now, it is not uncommon for Nathan to think about Aleea without him knowing, either because of the problems he was facing that made him stressed or because he began to miss Aleea without him knowing.

But Nathan always refused as his head was trying to think about Aleea. Nathan would immediately turn his head around to think of something else before Aleea completely grabbed his head.

But for some reason, the house that he had always lived alone in the past, now felt increasingly quiet when there was no Aleea.

His heart began to miss Aleea, but his wits refused and tried to ignore Aleea.

It was increasingly stressful Nathan coupled with all kinds of office problems that he was facing.

Nathan felt the world wanted to play with him.

**

The days have passed. It's been a few days that Aleea's been living in Evan's apartment. There are a lot of things that Aleea and Evan do there because Evan has not started his activities in the office.

They spend 24 hours a day together for a few days and that brings them closer to each other.

Of course their closeness and laughter slowly made Aleea forget her problem with Nathan.

Although he did not completely forget it, Aleea was already more in control of his mood and could think clearly about what was going on in his life and how he was dealing with his problems.

That morning, Aleea had just walked out of the room and immediately brought her steps towards the kitchen when she saw the busy looking Evan in the kitchen.

"Good morning Aleea," said Evan as he placed his cooking on the plate.

Ever since they lived together and after the trouble between Aleea and Nathan, Evan had never called Aleea again with the call "Mrs Nathan".

Not because of Evan's will, but because of Aleea's request who was uncomfortable with the call.

After Evan prepared his cooking, Aleea then helped Evan bring him to the balcony.

As usual, every morning they will enjoy their breakfast on the balcony and every day also they always take turns cooking.

"Today I have to go to Aleea hospital, you'll be fine, won't you be alone?" evan asked at once.

"Did something happen to you?" aelea replied in alarm.

"No, last night Nathan told me that if my CT scan was out, the doctor asked Nathan to take me to the hospital and see the CT scan" Evan explained.

"Let's not worry about me, I'll be fine here, you can leave and there's no need to rush home" Aleea said.

"I'll just go to the hospital and get Aleea home soon, you'll definitely be very bored if you're here alone" Evan said.

Aleea simply smiled as he enjoyed the meal. Aleea was not surprised anymore, Evan always knew what he was thinking and how to treat him very well.

After finishing their breakfast, they immediately brought in their dirty dishes and glasses and began to wash them.

"Let me wash Evan myself, get ready!" aelea said to Evan.

"No Aleea, I won't let your hands dry from having too much contact with the laundry soap" Evan replied.

Aleea only smiled faintly at Evan's words.

"I brought you here so you could live comfortably with Aleea, but every day you're busy cleaning every corner of this apartment, when there's someone else who can do it!" said Evan.

"I can't just ride here Evan, I should help even if I just clean it up" Aleea replied.

"You are a good wife" Evan said quietly, hiding his smile.

"What?" asked Aleea who was not very clear to hear Evan's words.

"No, I didn't say anything" Evan replied lying by shaking his head.

"I know you're lying, as long as you know Evan, your nose will get bigger if you lie!" aelea said as she touched Evan's nose with her index finger.

"And my nose will come back small when you touch it" Evan replied with a smile as he held Aleea's index finger.

They smiled at each other with both eyes fixed for a moment. Suddenly.....

BIIIIIPPP BIIIIPP BIIIIIPPP

Evan's phone rang, making Aleea startled and immediately pulling his index finger which Evan was still holding.

Evanpun immediately turned his gaze nervously and took his cellphone on the living room table.

"Hello, have you arrived yet?" evan asked after he received a call on his cell phone.

"Well, I'll be right down" Evan said, putting his phone back on the table.

"Aleea, I gotta go, Nathan's waiting for me downstairs!" evan said to Aleea while wearing a shirt outside the white shirt he wore without closing the buttons on his shirt.

In a hurry, Evan forgets to bring his cell phone that he put on the living room table.

Moments after Evan left, Aleea had just tidied up the kitchen. As he was about to clean the table, Aleea looked at Evan's phone lying on the table.

"She must have been in such a hurry that she forgot to bring her cell phone" Aleea said, cleaning the living room table, sofa and every corner of the apartment.

Elsewhere, Evan is on his way to the hospital with Nathan picking him up.

"Is everything okay, Nathan? you look like you're thinking about a lot of things" Evan asked Nathan.

"Everything's okay, I'm just having trouble sleeping these few days" Nathan replied.

"Why? is it because of Aleea?" ask Evan.

"No, it's just that my life has become more peaceful because I haven't seen it in days" Nathan replied.

"Aren't you trying to find Nathan? aren't you worried about him at all?" ask Evan.

"No, I didn't even have time to think about it" Nathan replied.

Evan just sighed hearing Nathan's words. Arriving at the hospital, they immediately see a doctor to see the results of Evan's CT scan.

"Based on the results of the CT scan, the patient's condition is fine, everything is normal and there is nothing to worry about" explained the doctor.

Nathanpun was able to breathe a sigh of relief after he heard the doctor's explanation. His concern about Evan's condition has now been destroyed after he was sure that Evan was okay.

"What if we celebrate? I'll treat you....."

"No Nathan, I have to go home" said Evan, cutting off Nathan's words.

"Why?" ask Nathan.

"We can celebrate later, now I have to go home" Evan replied.

"Okay," Nathan replies and drives his car to Evan's apartment to drive Evan home.

After some time on the way, Nathanpun drove his car towards the basement of Evan's apartment.

"You don't have to drive Nathan here, I....."

"We're celebrating in your apartment, I'll order a lot of food and drinks!" nathan interrupted Evan and got out of his car.

Evan was silent for a while then immediately followed Nathan's footsteps who had already walked away.

Evan doesn't want to make Nathan suspicious if he makes too much sense. Evanpun searched his phone into all his clothing pockets, intending to contact Aleea as he had to tell Aleea if Nathan was coming.

"Damn it, I forgot to bring my phone with me" Evan said in his heart as he realized his phone was left behind.

Nathan and Evan reach the 25th floor, in his heart Evan hopes that Nathan will not meet Aleea when they arrive at Evan's apartment.

With hesitation Evan began to enter the password on the door of his apartment, when Evan had just touched the door handle, suddenly the door opened from the inside and Aleea stood with a smile before Aleea realized that Nathan was there.

"Aleea!" said Nathan who was so surprised by the existence of Aleea in Evan's apartment.
