Anton's eyes narrowed in danger, but his voice remained calm. "I can still recognize who's in front of me right now, even though I'm under the influence of alcohol"
Cathy opened her mouth.
"I'm serious, it's not the right time. Do you realize what if anyone knows where you are now ?"
Raising his hand, the man shook his head "Clearly, I won't judge anyone"
Cathy did not react and did not become calmer hearing those words.
"You'd better get back home, this isn't right"
Anton's lips twitched "No"
"You're completely insane, I don't want to just because you're drunk, it's gonna end badly for me"
The man slanted and pushed the door into the apartment, although Cathy was visibly upset. Anton didn't care about it at all.
The woman flinched "Anton, please. You have to go now."
Anton, who was still balancing his steps, was able to smile broadly, and for some reason, made the man seem even more intimidating "This apartment I bought for you and even I routinely send you money. Don't forget that, Cathy. So, of course I'm entitled whenever I want to come here"
Cathy started closing the door, the muscle on the woman's back was squeezing."You're amazing" one corner of her lips lifted up "I'll never forget that, but I'm not your mistress. We stay in touch for one reason only. And that's enough, doesn't mean you can control my life either"
Cathy looked at Anton in horror as something struck her mind. How long will this end ?
Suddenly the pieces began to fuse like a jigsaw and the black and murky image that appeared made him nauseous.
As if Cathy's words were just the wind then, Anton stepped towards the living room and threw his body on the sofa. "I'll stay here tonight"
Cathy shook her head, too shocked and numb "You Lose your Mind !!!! It's already passed Anton. I won't let you stay here much longer"
Horrified and panicked, Cathy walked up to Anton sitting on the sofa "I've been guilty enough of what I did in the past. And I won't repeat it again, I love Harumi so much. He has suffered enough, lest this will make him fall if he knows the truth. I'm not ready to see Harumi's reaction"
He should have been open and honest with Harumi. But, if he sees Harumi's current reaction and this truth is revealed. Cathy would not be able to imagine how devastated Harumi would be. It has always haunted Cathy all this time, a feeling of guilt, tormented with the dark secrets of her past with Anton who is the husband of her best friend. Thousands of apologetic words said will not be able to pay for all this.
And he still couldn't believe what was stopping him. He staggered slightly, then felt the man's strong hand on his arm as Anton forced him to sit down.
"Sit down" said Anton rudely "Originally you know, Harumi's mother already knows this truth"
Cathy licked her dry lips, trying hard to think straight. Because she had had enough of these terrible surprises tonight, and now the woman had to hear Anton's statement like a burst of lightning right above her head "What !!! Y-you lied.I must have misheard. Right ? it was just a lie. TELL ANTON, it's a lie"
Not willing to accept what the man said, Cathy looked for an alternative explanation and found nothing.
Cathy almost laughed at the irony of the situation. It is ironic that somehow he fought within himself to cover up or reveal this truth. Because I don't understand who is responsible.
"You're sure Harumi doesn't know that yet ?"
"Well, of course. Because her own mother told me before I left here."
Cathy has never made excuses for herself and she has no intention of starting now. The fact that he was innocent directly, but it did not absolve him of responsibility. Indeed this happened in their past before Anton met Harumi.
But, Cathy's biggest mistake is to knowingly hide this secret from her own best friend "You can still be this calm, Anton ?"
Anton smiled casually "Then what else can we do, because sooner or later Harumi will definitely find out, but, even though he kept asking for a divorce."
"I really don't understand your way of thinking, are you still not aware of all your Ego and ambition has been tormenting Harumi all this time !!"
The man frowned then focused on Cathy's "Ego and ambition ?" Anton smiled condescendingly "isn't it natural for most True Men to have both of those things. And Harumi never understood it, I just wanted to make her understand her position as a MUST OBEY Wife. Look at the consequences, how his carelessness is fatal"
Cathy stood up quickly "Harumi is not obedient to you. He never demanded anything from you, I know him very well. Harumi's an innocent woman and don't ever play around with her feelings"
Anton still gets the impression that Cathy didn't hear anything she said and he realizes the woman's skin is paled "Listen well. Before that night, I warned him not to go out that night. Especially when she is pregnant, but look at what she is doing. He remained disobedient, and he realized the consequences of his carelessness were already bad not only for him but everyone"
Highlight Cathy's sharp eyes, furious anger peaked in her chest "Then you consider Harumi guilty !!! It's too late, you know Anton your ambition on career and your job is what made that night happen. Harumi came out because she wanted to buy medicine from a prescription that had been given by a doctor because she felt cramps in her stomach at that time. Do you know that !! It's not."
There was no sound whatsoever after that, the silence struck instantly after Cathy's statement which made her start to take a bit of a beating.
"You always come home late at night even until the morning, I was really concerned that when Harumi was pregnant, she should have gotten some attention from you. But, quite the opposite."
His gaze froze, his breath as if hanging in the throat to make the Man's Head feel heavy and bowed and supported with both hands. At first he was so confident, everything changed in an instant. Harumi never told her anything about any of this.
Anton's mind began to open up a bit despite the swirling feeling in his brain, but it wasn't alcohol. The man realized all this time he had never given Harumi a chance to straighten out, it was true what Cathy said. The great ego overpowered him, thus making him blind, and threw all the blame to his wife.
"actually three years ago, I went to Bristol to meet Harumi and reveal all these truths to her." Cathy took a few breaths, closed her eyes and tried to speak calmly even though she knew that inside her was now the great turbulence between guilt and judgment on her "but, the accident that night happened was unexpected"
Anton raised his face, his gaze sharp "three years ago you went to Bristol ?"
"Well, right on the night of the accident"
