The Betrayals
Misgive
"What's wrong?"
Dru asked while waiting for Tiffany's next remark.
"Don't you want to say something?"
The girl asked hesitantly, looking at the Netra Dru without wanting to let go, in waiting if only the man would explain something to her.
After marriage, it is as if the man is slowly directing her to a reality that is too long unknown to her, he was afraid of guessing wrongly but these few days too many things had made him uneasy and confused.
Is it a coincidence or not but he feels whether Dru is his Hades? has Sean been cheating on her all this time?.
8 Years more isn't it a long time that he's mistaken for someone?! but....Dru didn't explain it and Sean.....
Tiffany looked back into Indra Dru's eyeballs, trying to remember the past.
Sean is Hades but there's a lot missing after they hook up in the real world and instead of being pen pals, Sean is indeed so warm and romantic, understanding and so loving but the man never strummed a guitar for him or played the piano for himself, Sean never let out his beautiful voice during their courtship, even the man did not use the perfume they talked about during his pen pals nor did he ever make her poetry and love again.
"Your writing is a bit different?"
Tiffany once asked doubtfully, staring at the line of writing Sean had made for her.
"The accident made it difficult for my right hand to move, I was forced to use my left hand to do many things"
He innocently believed in the days after Sean had a car accident in their early days.
"Let's open a new page and forget about our pen pals, let's start everything from scratch, real relationships without eroding the distance because of ink and paper or sound that flies carried by the night wind"
Sean's speech and treatment bury all the past memories of how they knew each other.
Tiffany tried to correct her speech, hoping that Dru would start talking, she was worried and agitated, eager to know about a fact why Dru's writing was similar to Hades's? why is the fragrance of the perfume the same, why....why..he does not have many clues and evidence, is it too much?.
"What?"
Dru raised the tip of his eyebrow, asking slowly towards Tiffany who was staring at her worriedly.
"That's..."
Tiffany bit her lower lip.
"Don't want to stay here? I'll talk to mommy and daddy, after dinner we can have a little chat with the extended family and then go back to our residence"
Dru answered quickly, he still gently touched Tiffany's face making the girl slightly jerked in shock, she blinked her eyeballs for some time, she said, although she does not love Dru but her scent makes her restless and Dru's touch makes her flutter erratically.
Hades.
The name kept making him nervous.
But Tiffany retreated slowly, keeping her distance because she was still hesitant, trying to find out first lest she go wrong in stepping, he said, who knows Dru is indeed not his Hades and Sean did not lie at all on him.
Seeing Tiffany's expression the man immediately clasped her palm tightly, Dru was no less agitated thinking whether her touch made Tiffany disgusted and angry?!.
"sorry"
Dru spoke slowly.
Hearing Dru's words, Tiffany looked disappointed. She thinks did Dru Khilaf touch her? not even displaying an expression as if wanting to explain something to her.
