The Substitute Woman on the First Night
Wondered

Happy reading!

I still see him. Staring in disbelief that he came when I was free, even though for 4 years he had never visited me during my time in prison.

"What's he here for? Does Mira know that Mas Denis came to pick me up?" my mind was reluctant to meet him.

After being silent for a while, I finally spurred my steps away from Mas Denis. Heading to the roadside to stop public transportation passing by. At least I have to leave before Mas Denis can come after me.

"Lissa, wait! I have something to say to you." I saw him start running after my step that had just moved away from him. However, I still did not care and continued to run without looking back even once.

"I don't want to hear anything from you, Mom! You better go and don't disturb my life anymore! You just calm down! I'm willing for you to get married and I'm also happy because in the end what you want can happen, you can have children with Mira." As much as I can speed up my run so that Mas Denis does not catch up. Unfortunately, everything I do is in vain. Denis was able to grab my wrist until my steps stopped instantly.

Inevitably, I also stared at the face of the man who once filled my days. The man I once loved so much that I made me justify all means to maintain his love. However, this time I realized that he was not mine, but Almira's.

Mas Denis face looked gloomy, he looked at me with a pleading look. "Lissa, please give me a minute to talk to you!" He clenched both hands as a sign of his plea. I don't know what he wants to say until he does this. It's not that he hated me so much, even at the verdict hearing that time he didn't come at all.

"If you have something to say, just say it now! After that, I have to leave immediately. There's still so much to do when I'm free." I close my eyes. Stare so firmly because I do not want to give a gap to my heart to return to feel the love that once reigned its name.

"Lissa, I have something to say and this is a message from Mira, but I can't say it here. Can you come with me for a minute? Believe me I won't hurt Mira. I did all this because of her request." The voice was so begging. Even I can see there is a deep look of sadness when Mas Denis said that. The thing that made me wonder what really happened during the 4 years I was in prison.

"Maybe it doesn't matter if it's just for a little while. After listening to the message from Mira, I was about to leave her, "my mind began to dim the look of the eyes that had been so sharp staring at Mas Denis. Honestly speaking, my heart immediately melted when I saw the earnestness in his eyes. "All right, but I don't have much time. Better not long! Besides, Mira and your son must have been waiting for you at home." Denis nodded, showing his parked car not far from where we were standing. I began to follow his footsteps with hesitation while continuing to think about what exactly Almira wanted to convey through Mas Denis. Why didn't he come himself and tell me directly? Does he still hold grudges for all the wrongs I've done to him before?
