Stranger's In Love
43|DOUBT

Irene was sitting on a park bench waiting for Ainsley's arrival, and her mother called saying she wanted to see him. Irene sat down while stroking her still flat stomach, recalling her upcoming wedding day

it's about five more days. Irene never expected that she would eventually marry Kim, her own cousin. Kim takes a crazy decision and sacrifices her future in order to save Irene and the baby she contains.

“You are absolutely crazy, Kim” Irene said as if answering her thoughts.

Irene let out a long sigh and then exhaled slowly, trying to smile as she remembered her return to the man she loved and longed for this moment. But he immediately brushed off his memory, because he might be living happily with the woman he loves, Rebecca Hillton.

Irene never regretted for all the memories and wonderful things she had done with Zean. However, guilt still haunts him to this day. How could he forgive himself for sleeping with an engaged Zean that night? Feelings are complicated if explained with logic and common sense.

Irene had to be sincere and let go of Zean who clearly did not love her. Someone who expresses love to you, once or many times, is not necessarily the person who really loves you. Irene always thought, if it's true that Zean loves her, why did she leave? Why did she marry Rebecca? And how could Rebecca be carrying her child?

“Damn!! You managed to mess me up to be this kind of miserable woman, Arzean Lorwerth”, she said to me, I don't know who and tears rolled back down her cheeks.

It was hard to control this feeling, often Irene wanted to give up on her feelings for Zean. Forgetting it just feels so hard what else is trying to stop loving her, this is really torturing Irene. However, Irene should not be selfish, if continuing to think about Zean like this can make it stressful and this will have a negative impact on her pregnancy.

Irene lowered her head to touch her stomach and rubbed it gently, as if trying to talk to the baby in her stomach. “I'm sorry for stressing you so much, ” Irene said on her flat stomach.

“If anyone has to apologize and fix everything, it is his father” said someone who was already standing in front of Irene.

The deg! Hearing her voice alone was able to make Irene weaken, this voice, this masculine scent, she had long since missed. Is Irene fantasizing? Does this wild longing lead to a world of hallucinations? Irene hesitated at her consciousness, is Zean here?

“Until when are you going to duck like that, Irene?” the man asked and pulled the ox Irene's chin so he could look at her.

The deg! Irene stared at the person, this is real, she is Arzean Lorwerth. The man she had longed for all this time, was now standing in front of her, staring at her and touching her pretty face with a touch of his warm hand.

Irene tried to wake her mind up, remember, Zean doesn't really love you. Irene brushed off Zean's hand that was still touching her face.

“Do not touch me, I am not your woman you can touch as you like” Irene commemorates Zean.

Zean smiled at a glance then switched to sitting next to the girl.

“How are you?” ask Zean.

Irene glared, could Zean ask how are you?

After she left Irene just like that, she suddenly came back and asked how are you doing?

“How am I doing?” Irene repeated Zean's question.

Zean turned his head then nodded steadily in response yes.

“Good, of course good news. Even I will get married soon, I hope you can be present at my wedding” Irene said.

Irene lied, she was too good at hiding her feelings. Honestly, when Zean asked how you doing? What Irene wanted to say was that I was devastated the moment you left and got word that Rebecca was pregnant and you were about to marry her. I don't know what to do when everyone knows that I'm pregnant with who. I was shocked by Kim's heroic behavior so crazy and unexpected, he didn't think about his future, he wanted to help me with this marriage so that me and this baby would still be fine.

Irene tried hard not to cry, she had to be firm in front of Zean, she could not be weak.

“Stop pretending, Irene” said Zean suddenly.

Now Zean turned to look at Irene, but the girl turned her eyes away from Zean.

“Why don't you dare look at me?” ask Zean.

Irene clenched her hands tightly, if she was like this Zean would know that Irene was very weak at that gaze. Irene shifted her gaze, now she turned to look at Zean who was still staring at her, they looked at each other in silence.

“I'm sorry, Irene” Zean is voicing.

“For what?” Irene asked as if she had forgotten all the difficult things she had gone through because Zean left her without warning.

“I'm sorry for leaving you so easily, I'm sorry for never trying to contact you, I'm sorry for my wedding news—”

Zean just kept quiet, waiting for Irene to continue her words.

“Your place isn't here, maybe even Rebecca is waiting at home. That's enough, don't play two hearts at once. You're married and you—”

Zean kissed Irene so gently, this was what Zean wanted to do when he first saw Irene who was so tormenting him in longing. Zean did not care for all the chatter he would hear from her. What Zean knew at this moment was that they were both longing for.

Zean took off his kiss and gave Irene a chance to catch her breath and Zean kissed her again. Irene tried to stop Zean from still kissing her but Zean could not easily be stopped just like that, Irene cursed that she would babble at this man later.

“You can scold me, you can babble—”

THE PLAQUE!! One slap landed right on Zean's cheek.

Zean touched her cheek which was hot from Irene's slap. “I deserve it” said Zean.

Irene tried to catch her breath to hold back her emotions, Zean really sucks. How could she kiss Irene like that? You dickhead.

“Why are you back?” Irene asked with her voice, she cried.

Irene was no longer able to endure all the pain and disappointment she felt towards Zean.

Zean's hand was moved to wipe away the tears that had soaked her cheeks.

“Because I love you” replied Zean.

Irene laughed softly at Zean's reply.

“Someone who says love, not necessarily she really loves” Irene quipped.

Honestly, Zean was saddened to see his girl who was so fragile at this moment. Zean was sorry for all the tears Irene had spent because of him.

“Now do you doubt me?” ask Zean.

“Do you still deserve to be trusted?” Irene asked back.
