He stood so handsome in his white suit. Her suit buttons were let off, her hands were in her pants pocket and her eyes were so sharp they looked at me.
I turned my body back and tried to ignore it even though my heart was beating so fast. I held onto the small bag I was holding to relieve my nervousness.
Aditya walked up to me and stood right beside me. I still dare not see it directly.
“Hay Dhebi” her greeting stands beside me.
“How are you?” Her question made me panic.
“I'm good, very good. What about you?”
Answer me by trying to calmly dare to look at her by giving a fake smile.
“I'm also good”
I looked back at the dark sea before me, and thought about what I should say next so as not to look clumsy before him.
“Oh yes, congratulations on your engagement today” I said by thrusting my hand to give him congratulations.
His eyes glanced at my hands. He noticed my smiling facial expression so forced.
“Everything you see is still the same as Dheb” he said by not welcoming my hand.
I folded my arms and turned my worried face away.
“I need to talk” her words that finally make me back uncomfortable.
“Sorry, I can't. I'm sorry” said I was about to step away.
“I need to talk. If necessary I can contact Andre to ask permission”
He made me flinch in shock. His eyes were threatening.
How did he know I was here with Andre? Don't don't he know about me and Andre too ?
“How?” Ask her.
I shook my head in annoyance, he still hasn't changed. Forced and always annoying. I went ahead of Aditya to get away from the party, and Aditya followed where I took him.
Aditya and I sat on a swing chair on the beach, and away from her engagement party.
We stayed for a while there. Not talking to each other and not looking at each other, we just looked at the same sea that was in front of us. This kind of atmosphere felt like it had happened with Aditya beside me.
“What do you want to talk about ?”
“Since when are you close to Andre?” Ask her without looking at me.
“Not your business”
“I've known for a long time your relationship Dheb. I've seen Andre make a story of a woman on the beach, he highlighted a small bag next to her that I knew was yours. I know exactly the bag is only you have, I added the beach painting in the bag it”
My bag was made of thick canvas so he could paint a small beach at the end of the bag. Aditya was always on a whim with everything I could never have guessed.
“Then why? What's the problem?” I asked with his sniffles.
“Why don't you guys get married soon?”
“You mean?”
Aditya's question is absurd. Why did he suddenly tell me to get married?
“Yes why do you guys take your relationship to a more serious stage?” Say it by clarifying the question.
“This is none of your business Di, I will be in this relationship, and I will also decide with whom I will marry”
“But it looks like you guys are matching”
Aditya really pisses me off.
“Once again it's none of your business, I know which one is suitable for me and no, you don't need to interfere in my affairs”
“Iya that's what I mean Dheb! why are you also interfering with my affairs?!” Aditya said with a shout.
He made me quiet with confusion.
Aditya's face turned so scary. He looks so upset. I gasped and was surprised at Aditya's question which made me panic.
“This relationship I have with Dheb, I will also decide where I take this relationship, you have no right to interfere in my affairs!” He said a little scream.
“What do you mean in?” I stood up to leave her.
But Aditya held back my steps.
Aditya looked so upset to see me that he didn't seem to understand what he meant. She shook her head and tried to regulate her breathing and emotions.
“Maybe all this time you never know the reason why I can't eat crabs. You never know what really happened, which you know I just don't know how to eat crabs right Dheb?”
“But the real reason is that I almost died from eating crabs when I was a kid in the first”
I was shocked to hear something new I knew.
“I arrived at the operation to remove the crab shell that had been stuck in my throat Dheb, since then I was traumatized to eat the crab. My parents strictly forbid me to eat crabs, and I admit that I am allergic to eating crabs to cover up the real events to everyone. And you know ? A few months ago Lucy once made me a pasture sauce crab in my apartment, and she didn't cut the crab chop like what you did to make it easy for me to eat her”
Yes indeed I was the one who told Lucy Aditya's favorite food a few months ago when she contacted me and asked who I really was.
Lucy got my number on Aditya's phone. He read all my messages on Aditya's cell phone in secret. But he never knew how my face was, because Aditya's phone never saved my picture. Aditya often took pictures of me, but with silhouette effects or when I was staring at the sunset on the beach, even then Aditya photographed me silently behind. I'm afraid that if the phone falls into someone else's hands and that person sees my face in Aditya's phone.
“Ya then? What is his relationship with me ? Lucy could have known from someone else right, she could have known from old you”
I said with a face so convincing trying to make her believe.
“Which parent wants to see his child almost die a second time because of the food I eat. They asked me to never eat the crab again, and asked me never to try again,and how did Lucy know that I could eat crabs again if not from you?”
I don't budge, I can't find an excuse anymore.
“And you know last month I had an anxiety disorder at a big event. Lucy brought me a small room so no one would see me in pain. And I saw him calling someone in the corner of the room in a quiet voice, I didn't know who he was calling, who, but when he came back and hung up his phone Lucy gave me help with method 3.3.3 methods that I could not believe other than being done by you,and again the method was not successful in doing anyone other than you”
I remember when Lucy called me in a panic and asked if Aditya had suddenly suffocated at the Gramy Award. Lucy didn't know what to do until she called me, and I also told him to give first aid to Aditya with method 3.3.3 that I always do to him whenever the anxiety disorder attacks Aditya.
Aditya looked at me with vengeance. I was silent and could not say anything. I can no longer argue with him.
“Why are you doing this Dheb?” Ask Aditya who can already guess my good sense with Lucy.
I looked at him with a guilty face.
“I just help Lucy so she gets all her love you” I finally answered.
“For so long Lucy always told me, if she is always treated coldly by you. He wants to watch over you just as much as you paid attention to me. She's jealous of the way you look so worried about me if I don't have any news, she also wants to make you jealous if she's with another man, she just wants you to be totally in, Di, is it wrong I helped him?”
My tears started to flow remembering Lucy's sad story. Lucy seems to love Aditya. But it is not easy to conquer the heart of Aditya so hard and cold.
“But you hurt him Dheb! You turned him around like you!”
Shouts with emotion.
“You are like this you make me love your figure in Lucy and not the real Lucy. All this time I've looked at Lucy as you, I've never looked at her like myself. Unknowingly, you have already hurt Lucy”
“Hurt Lucy's heart how ?” My reply shouted.
“I've been lying to you and Lucy. You have been in a relationship with Lucy under the guise of a setting. I give you a chance to be more free to establish a relationship with Lucy without me beside you, then why are you still being cold with Lucy”
“Because I never had any feelings for Lucy!!”
“You really don't have any feelings why you got engaged to Lucy now?!”
“Because I'm still on my mission Dheb. I still want to know when Lucy's going to be frank about all the lies she's been lying about,there is something that I have to find out until I have to be willing to do this” replied Aditya who I really do not understand.
What does this mean by mission ? and what lies Lucy did to make Aditya willing to do further relationships like this.
“You are crazy Aditya. You can play him so far” my cynic.
“I told you, I never had any feelings for any woman other than you, no matter what Lucy did nothing could ever change my feelings for her, no matter what,then why did you cape-cape my relationship with Lucy?” His word.
I shake my head in annoyance.
“You've been really crazy Di, you've gone too far, you can't treat Lucy like this, Lucy has been so sincerely affectionate with you, can't you see that ? She is happy with you beside her, she is in love with the way you treat her, why can you be evil like this?” I said with his face pointed.
Aditya caught my hand that had dared to point at him and stared at me sharply.
“How many times do I have to say, all you see is a skit, all I do is acting, I just love you Dheb,why don't you ever understand that?” he spoke so closely with me.
“Enough In!” My emotions by throwing my hand.
“Our relationship is done, I no longer need to listen to any explanation from you”
Aditya grabbed both my shoulders and brought his face closer.
“Look at me and say that you really never thought of me again!”
Aditya's gaze was so sharp and serious.
I always thought about Aditya. Even up to this moment I still feel the pain of seeing her with another woman. But I don't want him to know that, I have to pretend hard so that my lies are not read.
“I don't care about you anymore, and I've never thought about you again”My conversation so clearly and convincingly.
My eyes started getting wet, I was sad about having to fight my feelings. I don't want to go back with Aditya even though there's still a residual feeling in my heart.
I threw her hand off my shoulder and turned to leave her but Aditya quickly pulled me into her arms she pressed my face into her kiss. Aditya forced me to go back to remembering that sweet kiss on this cold beach.
For a moment I enjoyed our kiss I had no idea what had possessed me. I miss her miss her hug and miss her kiss. Then I regained my senses, I pushed Aditya's body with all my might looking at him so vile and ran from there holding my lips that still felt sweet.
