The Substitute Woman on the First Night
The Unexpected Meeting

Happy reading!

I started to open my eyes slowly. I don't know how long I've been unconscious to make my head feel so heavy.

"Where is this?" The question came out of my mouth. My vision still seemed blurred and it was not clear how things were around me.

Until finally, an unfamiliar voice sounded calling out to me. I turned to the source of the voice and forced my eyes to open wide when I saw the figure of the man I knew sitting next to me. "Fadhly ... Where is this?" Of course I was very surprised when I saw him. Quickly, I immediately got up from my sitting position, kept my distance from him right next to me and kept looking at me.

"You calm down, Lissa! You are in my house."

I really didn't expect to hear Fadhly's answer. How could he take me to his house? Why not go to the hospital? I don't know, but the one thing I'm thinking about right now, I really feel scared as long as I'm unconscious, he's doing bad things to me. "Oh my God, did he touch my body?" Just imagining it makes both my eyes foggy. It's hard to hold on to grief if all my fears are proven true.

"Calm down, Lissa! Don't think anything of it yet."

"Why should you take me to your house? Don't tell me you touched me when I fainted?"

"No, Lissa. I'm not doing what you think."

As he tried to get closer to me, I got further away, edging back to the side of the bed opposite to Fadhly. Until finally, the door of the room opened and I saw a woman enter with a man who made my fear disappear.

"Lissa, are you okay?" I heard that question spoken from Delano's mouth as he approached me. His face looked so anxious. It seems like he's really worried about me. However, from Delano's current arrival, I have wondered what really happened.

"Why can my husband come to Fadhly's house and who's the woman that went into this room with him?" Suddenly the memory of what I saw in his office again disturbed me. I answered with a stern question from Delano without looking at him, "I'm nothing."

After hearing my answer, he again said something that made me look at him straight away, "Are you angry with me? Did you come to my office?"

"So, he already knew I was coming to his office. Was he trying to find me when he found out from the receptionist about my arrival?" my mind doesn't want to ask Delano directly. I'd rather be quiet without saying anything.

"Well, if you don't answer, it's okay. Now the important thing is that I'm relieved that you're okay. It was Mr. Fadhly who found you, Lissa. He called me from your phone. Hence, I was anxious and came straight here." After saying that to me, Delano turned his eyes to look at Fadhly as well as a woman who was right standing next to him. "Thank you again for helping my wife."

"So that woman didn't come with Delano. Looking around like I've seen it, but where are you?" For a moment I pulled my memories backwards while muttering inwardly. Remembering a long time ago made my eyebrows intertwined deeply.

Until finally, the memory I managed to find in the memory stored in my mind, I was so stuck because the woman turned out to be the wife of Fadhly. A woman I had indirectly injured when I secretly became the third person in her marriage. Although I did not love her husband at all and only expected the money, but now I feel very guilty for having been a mistress of her husband in the past. Even as I recall, Fadhly once said that they he had divorced from his wife. So maybe they are back together now.

Amidst the guilt and so many questions I had about all of this, there was a fear that suddenly started to intrude my mind. "Oh my God, why was I reunited with them? What if Delano finds out about my past? Is he going to accept it? Is he not going to be mad at me?" my mind kept thinking about all that until it made my head feel throbbing violently.
