The Untold Story
Request

- B's PoV--

*2003: David*

Krieet....

As soon as the door opened, apparently, it wasn't just me who was surprised at that moment. The person who had just opened the door widened his eyes. However, after that he tried to neutralize his expression.

"Sorry, since it's midnight, I think you're asleep. Can I come in? I just want to get the files in the safe. I won't bother you." A man with a messy appearance and an exhausted face spoke to me politely.

Adityas... Her.... Coming!!!

Aditya came and... Did I not hear wrong? The man spoke to me with... Gentlemanly?

I actually feel strange in the way he talks. He never spoke like that with me. I hope he's not possessed or anything.

"I thought you were going to lock this room. I was a little surprised when I saw my keys weren't working. Turns out you didn't lock it because you haven't slept." Aditya tried to explain. I was still stunned to hear the way he talked to me so much that I didn't reply.

"I beg you not to misunderstand! Due to an emergency, I was forced to enter without your permission. Sorry if it makes you uncomfortable." Aditya apologized again? Is this really that pervert devil?

I pinched my arm without his knowledge. It hurts!! It means I'm not dreaming.

"So.. Um, can I come in for a second? I promise it won't be long." The man asked permission once more.

I quickly awakened from my daydream. I nodded my head, giving my consent.

After seeing my reaction, Aditya quickly stepped towards a painting on the wall to the right of my room. And apparently, behind the painting is a large safe.

Wait for.. Is there a safe in this room? So this isn't the guest room? So this is room... Adityas? Is that why he didn't come home? Because I occupy his room?

But... Doesn't he have many rooms? He can provide a guest room for me and occupy his own room.

Is all this doing to make me feel at home? This chamber? his absence?Did he do all this to make me feel comfortable?

I still wondered in my heart while paying attention to Aditya's behavior. The man actually took out a document inside the safe like what he said earlier.

After he finished getting what he wanted, Aditya took the initiative to go outside the room. However, before he actually came out, he stopped his steps for a moment and looked at me again.

"Yes, the day after my mother will visit here. I was gonna have Vina tell you tomorrow. But, since we've already met now, then I think let me tell you." Aditya looked me in the eye during the talk and diverted it once he was done.

"W-will you be there when Mama Rita visits?" I asked while hoping he wouldn't leave me alone to face his mother. I can't imagine what would happen if I met Rita's mom alone.

"certain. I'll be home early. And... B!" Aditya paused for a moment.

"Can the day after tomorrow you play a show in front of mama, as if our relationship is fine? I'm in a lot of work at the office and I'm not ready to face my mom's questions. Can you just do the show this time?" Aditya begged me with a serious face. Had my ears not misheard, the man had just... Pleads?

I was still stunned after hearing her soft and non-pushy words. The other side that was completely hidden to me since the beginning of our meeting. I could hardly believe my hearing, but I realized as he continued his sentence.

"Can't ya?" I heard her voice soft. This was indeed real and his face looked sincere when asking.

"It's okay. I'm not going to abuse......" Aditya held back his words as soon as he heard me cut his sentence.

"Could... Wh-what should I do?" I said quick and a little nervous.

I could see the man smiling in a knot as I agreed to his request. The look in Aditya's eyes even implied a sense of gratitude.

"There's nothing you need to do. Just accept my mama well and pretend to love me." Hearing those words, I flinched. And I'm sure, Aditya realized my surprise.

"I'm sorry, I asked a lot. But we are a couple in front of mom. I hope you can understand." Aditya told the reason carefully.

"I understand" I replied briefly.

"Thank you, B! Oya, tomorrow Vina will come to deliver clothes and make up for you. I told him to bring some, so you can choose one that is comfortable for you to use. Thank you again. Don't forget to lock the door! Have a good rest, B!" Aditya walked out of the room and closed the door.

After disappearing for days with no news, now the man is coming home just to pick up stuff and tell me about the arrival of his parents. But strangely, that's not what surprised me.

Her attitude that changed honestly made me more curious. What's really wrong with that guy?

And... Waitaminute! Is he going to leave again now?

What if he drives himself and gets sleepy? What if the driver is sleepy?

Again, don't misunderstand me! I wasn't paying attention to him because there were certain feelings. I'm just trying to be a human being who should care for others. Yeah, just that.

Moreover, he had tried to correct his attitude. No harm in worrying about it a little?

Looking at his disheveled and tired face earlier, I realized that he might have just come home from the office. Why doesn't he just rest here? Why should I go again? This mansion had many rooms and he could occupy any room.

I don't know what wind is pushing me. I got out of bed and ran after the man. I opened the door and ran to him.

I saw the figure of Aditya about to turn into a room. Before the figure disappeared again, I took the initiative to stop its steps.

"Wait-wait...." I called the man without mentioning his name.

As I suspected, Aditya stopped walking. He turned around, facing towards me while frowning.

"W?" He said my name with a question mark. I knew this would be weird for her.

"I.... I-i..." Damnit damnit! I must look like a fool now.

"What's B? Do you need anything?" Aditya looked at me who was walking closer to him.

"Ehmm.. It's already night.. Where are you going? Your house. No need to feel alien on your own property. You're making me feel guilty." Nervous of feeling, I tried to explain my point. Of course I was nervous, our communication was never good all this time.

"Oh, I think you want to ask about your lover." Aditya continued to open the door of the room that was in front of him. While I was, I unconsciously followed him.

"It looks like I'll stay here tonight. I hope you won't be bothered by that. After mom gets home, I'll go back to sleep in the apartment. Oya, welcome to my study." I heard Aditya's explanation. My eyes rolled around. A minimalist workspace with a soft sofa in the middle of the room.

"Where are you sleeping?" I asked unconsciously.

"On that couch. After all my work is done, of course." Aditya smiled at me.

"Sorry, I'm occupying your room. So..." I held back my words as Aditya cut suddenly.

"No problem. I used to fall asleep in the study when I was exhausted." Aditya smiled again as if he wanted to make sure that he had gotten used to this and he was fine.

"At least this is temporary. When mom gets home, I'll go back to the apartment" he added.

So, all this time he slept in the apartment. It seems, Aditya really dodged to make me feel comfortable.

"Well, about your lover, I've been telling people to look for information about his whereabouts. As soon as there is news, I will accompany you to meet him. Can you still be patient?" Aditya continued his words. This time he talked about Indra while opening his laptop without looking at me.

"L-yes.. Thank you." Thank you." I really don't know what to respond to it.

He mentioned your lover's words while his status was actually my husband's. A streak of guilt, which should be unnecessary, then enveloped my heart.

"Don't think any more strangely, let alone hurt yourself! I know maybe at the beginning of our meeting, I showed you a bad attitude, but really.... I never intended to be evil. I'm not going to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable anymore. And about your lover... I promise I'll give you back to her." Aditya is looking at me really. This time I was even glued by his gaze.

Somehow, my heart was pounding as our eyes met. I was misbehaving with those eyes.

Maybe this is the effect of late sleep. Yeah, it must be because of that.

"Ehm.. I-I have to go back to the room. I-I'm sleepy." I turned my body and walked towards the exit.

No more words were spoken from Aditya's lips. Even when I closed the door of her study and leaned behind that door, Aditya's voice was completely out of the blue.

Maybe right now, he thinks I'm ignoring him. Let it be, after all, it was better for him to think so than for him to know that I had become nervous as I looked into his eyes earlier.

I was still leaning against that door and cursing my stupidity. His changed attitude made me feel wrong. But, not because I started to put my heart on him.

My feelings for Indra are deep. There's no way I'm turning away so quickly. It was all because I who was not used to being treated this kind and gentle by him. Yeah, that's the real reason, other than maybe I'm late for my dream tonight.
