The Untold Story
Lost
- B's PoV--
*Jakarta: 11 September 2003*
"Thank you, B!" I heard Aditya speak in a soft voice and full of sincerity.
"Hmm?" I still closed my eyes.
"It's the most beautiful birthday of my life" Aditya added as he tightened his arms.
🎵🎶🎵🎶
You were my one more chance
I never thought I'd find
You were the one romance
I've always known in my mind
No one could ever touch me more
I only hope that in return
I might have saved the best of me for you
We danced for a while on the balcony. No more words came out of our lips. I think Aditya and I were both lulled that night. I felt like I didn't even recognize myself anymore.
His embrace, his embrace, everything felt rustling here, inside my chest. I almost forgot that there was dinner and a bottle of Wine still waiting to be enjoyed.
We don't seem to want to leave our place. We don't seem to want to leave those soft, friendly touches just to fill the stomach.
🎵🎶🎵🎶
And we'll have no ending if we can hold on
I think I've come this far because of you
Could be no other love but our will do
"B......." Aditya stopped his steps. He then lifted my chin so that our eyes met. My cheeks fumbled for a moment.
"Are you hungry?" Aditya asked with a gentle smile, while I lowered my face and shook my head.
🎵🎶🎵🎶
You were my one more chance
I never thought I'd find
You were the one romance
I've always known in my mind
No one could ever touch me more
I only hope that in return
I might have saved the best of me for you
"You sure?" He asked back to make sure and I nodded my head again.
"But I'm hungry......" The whisper is asductive as it is in my ear. I don't know why my body was beating. I felt like I was lost in his words.
I remained silent for quite a while. I'm honestly confused.
"W-you want to eat?" I spoke while still bowing my head and swallowing my saliva many times. Resisting the strange turmoil in my body that had never previously appeared.
"Yes, B... Can I?" Aditya asked back while peeping at my ears and neck. The powerless I was in his arms, only able to surrender while nodding my head.
I let go of my embrace thinking that we were going to move. Just now that I wanted to turn my body around, Aditya was holding me back from my original position.
"But, B... What if...." Aditya paused his words.
I waited for the man to continue his words with a thumping feeling. My feet instantly became limp. I couldn't even think clearly anymore, as he put his forehead on my forehead.
His breath, his scent, all like an anesthetic that made me lose consciousness. I must be crazy by now.
🎵🎶🎵🎶
I only hope that in return
No matter how much we have to learn
That I might have saved the best
The very best of me for you
"What if all I want for tonight is....." I still close my eyes, until....
The cup!!
"You...." With lips firmly attached to my lips.
Aditya kissed my lips and explored each side slowly. At first I was a little jolted with the lum*tan. Aditya's suit that had originally blown my body was now dropped somewhere.
"Relax, B! Let me take you..." Aditya keeps kissing my lips nonstop. He even rubbed my back and made me fall asleep.
I felt my body float after that. Yes, Aditya has carried me without letting go of his kiss.
I'm lulled. I'm really lulled. I don't know what makes me weak. Either the charm of that man, I really don't know.
Step by step, he followed while carrying my body. Aditya took me inside the room and stopped the cold outside from hitting my body.
Now, he has even laid me on the bed. I even felt Aditya's body overlap me, as if he was closing off access for me to leave him.
The night was getting late, while I was getting more and more complacent. The kiss continued on, until I heard an unexpected sentence come out of her lips.
"Turn off the camera and the speakers, Ma. I don't want to share my night with my wife with anyone including Mama." I almost regained my consciousness after hearing those words.
The mama? Does Aditya know?
There was really a small urge within me to ask at that moment. However, Aditya's continued kisses seemed to make my brain dead end. I don't care anymore. I started to kiss her back.
I deepened my kiss unconsciously. Playing his lips as if it were an exciting activity. I continued to do it until suddenly the man spoke again....
"sorry..... " Aditya suddenly distanced his body.
At that moment I was fully awake too. I regained my consciousness that had disappeared due to her fading touch.
Slowly, I then ventured to stare at her face in dim lighting. The face looks sad and feels guilty.
"Sorry, my mom made you do all this." Aditya took the blanket and handed it to me.
With hesitation, I received the blanket and covered my body. My feelings were suddenly confused after that.
"-you know?" I ventured to ask with a reddened face from enduring the embarrassment.
Aditya smiled as he said, "I'm just trying to guess your very sudden change in attitude."
Surprised? Of course I'm getting surprised. This man is so sensitive to my attitude towards him.
Not only that, Aditya was even able to control himself well. It stopped.... It stopped when I couldn't even stop.
"You've been trying to be a good daughter-in-law. I'm very grateful for all that." Aditya hurried to stand up to increase the distance between us, then stepped further and further towards the balcony.
He walked over to the dinner table, unscrewed the bottle of wine on it, and sipped it slowly. For a while, the man stood on the balcony staring out.
After finishing almost half the bottle, Aditya put the bottle back into place and walked up to me. While I was, I was still mute while staring at his figure.
"Rest! I'm going to my workroom." Aditya held the top of my head and rubbed it gently. The man then stepped towards the door.
"Thank you again for everything, B! Good night!" As the sentence ended, I heard the door to our room shut.
Whatisthis? I-I really don't understand, can someone explain it to me? Explain what happened to him and what is happening to me?
Aditya left me alone in silence. He left me with a strange feeling I couldn't define.
That night, I could only lay my body down with an empty mind and heart. For some reason, that night, for the first time, I felt Aditya was able to make me feel lost! Lost with the torrent of rain that poured down upon the earth, since his departure left me alone in our room.
