Love Without Memory
Curiosity

The clock showed at 12pm when Evan came out of his room with Aleea's tote bag containing a laptop.

Evan leaves the office, driving his car towards the Aleea pastry shop.

After a while on the way, Evanpun arrived and immediately got out of his car.

"You must be looking for Aleea!" said Tika who realized Evan's arrival after Tika gave her customer order.

"I'm here to drop off his laptop" replied Evan.

"Come in, he's been waiting for you upstairs" Tika said.

Evan then took his steps inside and climbed the stairs and walked towards the balcony where Aleea was already there.

"Finally you came, I really needed this laptop from morning on" Aleea said as she noticed Evan's arrival.

"Why can this laptop be with Nathan?" ask Evan.

"It's a long story but thank you for returning it to me" Aleea said without answering Evan's question.

"He didn't take it from you, did he?" ask Evan.

"No, there was something that happened this morning that made me get into Nathan's car and not realize I left my laptop there" Aleea replied.

"What happened to Aleea? tell me not to worry!"

Aleea then told Evan about what happened this morning, about him walking alone until he suddenly felt his head hurt so much.

"But I was fine after I took the medicine" Aleea said at the end of the story.

"Nathan must have been very worried about you back then" Evan said.

"Either he was worried or he just didn't want others to see my unwell state back then" Aleea replied with a sigh.

"Alright forget about it, but are you really okay Aleea?" ask Evan.

"I'm fine, Evan, I don't know why my head hurts so much now, do you think it's because my memory is coming back?" reply Aleea.

"It could be, but you can't force yourself to remember Aleea, someday all your memories will come back" Evan said

Aleea simply nodded her head hearing Evan's words.

"What about Nathan's mama's plan next week Aleea? if your situation isn't stable, shouldn't you just turn it down?" ask Evan.

"What reason would I tell Nathan's mom if I turned him down? I can't tell you what my true situation is, right?" reply Aleea.

"You're right, Aunt Hanna will be even more worried if Aunt Hanna knows how you are right now" Evan said.

"Aaahhh yeah, did Nathan ask you to find out about Rizal's doctor?" ask Aelea.

"Where do you know about Dr. Rizal, Aleea?" evan asked back.

"I heard you say the name of Doctor Rizal when you accompanied me to the hospital and when I was out of my room I accidentally met Nathan's mother who was with Rizal's doctor at the time," aelea.

"Is that the same doctor Rizal you talked to Nathan about?" aelea asked.

"It seems like yes, did you hear what Aunt Hanna and doctor Rizal were talking about, Aleea?" evan answered and asked.

"No, because I just saw Nathan's mom come out of the room with the doctor and when I read the name tag, I remember if you were just talking about that name with Nathan," aelea.

"Well, did you know Aunt Hanna and Doctor Rizal came out of what room?" ask Evan.

"Mmmmm. I don't know, because at that time my distance from Nathan's mama was quite far, when I approached them, they had also walked quite far away from the room where they came out and I had no time to see what room they were out of" Aleea explained.

Evan just nodded his head slowly hearing Aleea's explanation.

"Is there a problem with Evan? is there anything to do with Rizal's doctor?" asked Aleea curiously.

"Nothing, Aunt Hanna and Doctor Rizal were just old friends when they were in college, that's all I know" Evan replied.

"But why did Nathan ask you to find out about Dr. Rizal?" ask Aelea.

"If that's the case, you should ask Nathan hehehe.." replied Evan with a chuckle that made Aleea rotate his eyes.

"Have you had lunch? what if we had lunch now?" ask Evan.

"Aren't you back at the office soon?" reply Aleea asked.

"There won't be any problems if I'm late back, so don't worry" Evan replied.

"Lunch is coming!" said Tika who suddenly came with a bag containing two foods and two drinks.

"Aaahhh, you're going to have lunch together apparently," said Evan, who thought Tika would have lunch with Aleea.

"I'll eat downstairs, this is for the two of you," Tika replied as she placed the bag she was carrying on the table.

"Waaahhh, what a coincidence, I just took Aleea to lunch" Evan said.

"Just eat here, don't you have a long lunch hour!" reply Tika.

"You're right, thank you, Tika," said Evan, who was only met with a smile by Tika.

"Thank you very much Tika," said Aleea who was also met with a smile by Tika.

Tika then went back down, While Aleea and Evan enjoyed their lunch together on the balcony.

"What would you do if your memory had returned Aleea?" evan asked Aleea on the sidelines of their lunch.

"I don't know, I don't remember anything about my life in Evan's past, so I can't think at all about what I'll do when all my memories come back" Aleea replied.

"There's one thing I've always wanted to ask you about Aleea, about your relationship with Nathan" Evan said.

"What relationship do you mean Evan? right now I'm just his toy, once he's satisfied playing with me, he'll throw me away and that's when I'll be able to feel the freedom I've always wanted" Aleea replied.

"But what if Nathan never lets me go Aleea?" ask Evan.

"It really became hell for me, no matter what great sin I had committed in the past that I had to live my life like this" Aleea replied.

"You are totally innocent Aleea, all this is Nathan's fault and I am guilty of this as well" Evan said.

"If it's true that Nathan and I were lovers who loved each other and decided to get married, why would he easily forget his love for me? what's going on right now makes me think that everything Nathan told me was a charade!"

Hearing Aleea's words instantly made Evan bring his gaze to Aleea.

"Theatricality? what do you mean Aleea?" evan asked, pretending he didn't understand.

"Yeah... theatrics. I never felt that Nathan and I loved each other, I just trusted him and followed what he said until he finally showed himself how easily he would say he didn't love me" Aleea replied.

Evan was silent. He did not expect Aleea to think that way.

"I. I only know that you are lovers" replied Evan who tried to cover up his nervousness.

"Yaaa.. I understand, no matter how close you two are, there must be some things that Nathan didn't tell you" Aleea said, sipping her drink.

After finishing his meal, Evan said goodbye to return to the office. Not forgetting that he thanked Tika for the lunch that Tika gave him.

Along the way, Evan was still thinking about what Aleea had told him.

Undeniably, Aleea's state of remembering flashes of memory in her past made Evan even more worried.

The longer Evan knew Aleea, the more comfortable he felt and for him Aleea was a pleasant figure. He did not want to lose Aleea when Aleea's memory returned.

Arriving at the office, Evan immediately takes his steps to Nathan's room, but does not find Nathan there.

"Where is he?" inner Evan asked inwardly as he walked into his room.

Elsewhere, Nathan is at Vina's house. He is helping Vina prepare some things because in 2 hours, they will meet through live video like Vina has done before.

"Can't you let me take Nathan off? ever since I got into an accident, you've been forcing me to work, work on some reports and even live videos like this!" grouse Vina.

"There are still responsibilities that you have to work with Vina, once everything is done, you can take a day off!" reply Nathan.

"Then, will you take a vacation with me?" asked Vina with a full smile.

"No way, I have a lot of work to do because one week I'm going to Paris with Aleea" Nathan replied.

"Go to Paris? both?" asked Vina who only answered a nod of the head by Nathan.

"Can't you take me with you? we can vacation there like we did when we were off the island!"

"Can't Vina, I go with Aleea, after all I won't repeat the mistake for the second time for going with you!" reply Nathan.

"Error? so what do you think we're doing wrong? I just....."

"Already, don't discuss it again, prepare yourself well, so don't let me down!" nathan cut Vina's words.

"I'll never let you down Nathan, shouldn't you let me down either!" reply Vina.

"I've been trying my best to put the sisters who look after you for 24 hours here" Nathan said.

"But....."

"I have to leave now, make sure to continue training your footsteps so that you can return to the office immediately!" nathan said and walked away.

Vinapun just sighed annoyed to see Nathan's departure.

"If you go to Paris with Aleea, then I'll go there to see you too Nathan, I'm sure you won't leave you there alone!" vina said in her heart with a faint smile.

"Aaahhh it seems like I should check my savings!' vina said while checking her savings through her phone.

The clock was showing at 5pm when Nathan and Evan had just finished their meeting.

As usual, Nathan and Evan left the meeting room later.

"What would you do if Aleea's memory had returned to Nathan? it probably wouldn't be a problem if he wasn't aware of the fake contract, but what if he realized it?" ask Nathan.

"You worry too much about that, Evan" replied Nathan.

"Of course I'm worried, what if he does something that could ruin your company name and your family because he feels he's been lied to by you?"

"That's not going to happen, I still have the power to be able to contain it and I'm going to find a way to keep it from happening" Nathan replied.

"But....."

"Are you afraid of losing Aleea if Aleea's memory returns?" nathan asked cutting Evan's words.

For a while Evan just kept quiet, he didn't expect that Nathan would ask him that.

"Be aware Evan, she's just a foreign girl I happened to meet, she's a nobody and don't let her affect you Evan!" said Nathan.

"After I get what I want, I'll divorce her and we don't have to think about anything related to her anymore" Nathan continued.

"You might be able to easily play with other Nathan's life, but not mine!" reply Evan then move on and out of the meeting room first.

As time passed, Nathan drove his car home.

Arriving home, Nathan asks his aunt about Aleea's whereabouts.

"Has Aleea gone home?" nathan asked aunt.

"Not yet, sir" replied the aunt.

"Is she really rare in the bi house?" ask Nathan.

"Yes sir, non Aleea goes out early in the morning and comes home late every night" replied the aunt.

Nathan just nodded his head slowly then continued his steps to get into his room.

"What did I just do? why am I finding out about him? forget about Nathan, no need to care!" nathan in the heart.

After bathing and changing clothes, Nathan walked into his study and just came out of his study at exactly 11 p.m.

For a while, Nathan stood in front of Aleea's room and realized that Aleea's room light was still out.

"Why hasn't he come home yet? what time is he coming home?" nathan asked irritatedly as he carried himself down the stairs.

Nathan then meets the private driver who used to drive Aleea away.

"Did Aleea never ask you to pick her up?" ask Nathan.

"Never sir, non Aleea has never asked me to drive him, either" the driver replied.

Nathan then went back inside the house, just entering, the sound of a car entering his yard.

Nathan sees it from the window of his living room and sees Aleea getting out of the car with Evan.

Despite not hearing what Aleea and Evan were talking about, but Nathan could see clearly if Aleea and Evan looked very familiar even they were seen laughing together.

"Lately Aleea has been with Evan a lot, does that mean Evan knows what Aleea is doing outside the house? I have to ask Evan!" nathan in the heart.

But Nathan quickly shook his head.

"Aaahhhh no. I can't ask Evan, he would definitely think if I cared about Aleea, I didn't need to find out about Aleea's activities outside the house either, it's not important at all!" nathan said, then walked out of the living room.
