*Suvretta House, Switzerland: October, 2003*
Switzerland or Switzerland, as they call it. One of the countries located on the plains of the European continent, famous for its natural scenery that is so natural and beautiful, to be able to bring peace to the souls of humans who live and who visit the country.
People say, the tenth month is the best month to vacation there. In months like this, autumn is occupying the throne of permusiman, so that the air around becomes not too cold and not too hot, because sunlight can still be enjoyed, because the sun can still be enjoyed, although the temperature around the place is in the range of 11°C.
Generally speaking, autumn in Switzerland implies two colors. The first is yellow to red. Humans can find this color in the lower plains. The trees around will change the color of their foliage, which was originally green to yellow, orange, or red. The color is almost exactly the same as the color of the afternoon sun.
Meanwhile, the second color is white, similar to the color of the clouds in space. This color is commonly found on higher plains, on towering mountains, which surround the land of Switzerland. The mountains are white because of their snow-covered surface. The sight seemed to signal the beginning that soon winter will come.
Two contrasting images are seen from behind the window of Suvretta House, a classic five-star hotel, in downtown St. Moritz, where I'm staying, should be able to make my heart blush and warm. However, strangely the sight made me feel so small, alone, and silent.
Yeah, I honestly feel alienated. No, rather alienated!
As soon as I set my foot in this country with Aditya and that middle-of- nowhere girl, I spent more time in my room. Don't ask where Aditya is and where he sleeps! Aditya always accompanied the girl and she booked her own room.
Sure was! How can a friend who travels with a friend of the opposite sex live in the same room? Wouldn't it be strange for the young girl who suddenly infiltrated between us? And isn't that also what Aditya acknowledged before the girl about my status? That I was his friend?
That girl, Maya..... I don't know what other nicknames I could give him.
He's so aggressive. And from the look in his eyes when I saw Aditya, I could find out how thirsty he would be for the attention of an adult male.
Maya continues to cling to Aditya wherever the man goes. Since the plane, when he arrived at the airport, until he reached this city, he will whine so that Aditya accompany him everywhere.
Aditya... Either he is innocent or just enjoy the sweet seduction-manja ABG crazy. The man seemed so submissive and obeyed whatever the girl wanted.
I repeatedly tried to talk to Aditya when I had the chance. Reminds him that Maya's request is actually too excessive. But Aditya laughed at me.
He ignored my words and assumed that all Maya's requests were natural. With the proposition that he carried the mandate of the girl's birth mother, Aditya then felt he had to accompany wherever the girl wanted to go and was responsible for ensuring her safety.
That's why I who don't like this condition decided to be alone in the room and not join them. And guess how Aditya reacted to this attitude of mine? He doesn't care.
To be honest, Aditya's abandonment of me gave rise to a strange feeling in my heart, which I didn't know his name. However, I was quite aware that I could not demand anything after everything I had done to her.
I should be grateful that he would still be with me to meet Indra. At least I'm not alone in this town. Especially after we found out that Indra's show will retreat two days from the scheduled time.
It means that my time in this country will be longer. About five days left. I can't imagine how miserable I would be if I really came alone.
But funny.... Now, even though Aditya was near me, I did not feel the essence of his presence.
Now guess! Who caused all this? Sure, May be the cause!
I was still pondering over all those things while looking at a wedding ring embedded in my ring finger. The ring that from the first day of my wedding has continued to circle there, but I've never seen it before. The ring that I put up was just a formality and a tribute to the two families that united us. A ring I didn't care about until now.
And for some reason, as my eyes looked at him this time, something pressed my chest to a throbbing pain. For some reason, when my eyes looked at him, everything I went through in this strange land left only one.... The pain.
Tok!! Tok!! Tok!!
My daydreams instantly expanded along with the sound of knocking from behind my bedroom door.
"B......" I heard Aditya's voice behind that door.
Tok!! Tok!! Tok!!
Chequek...
"Oh, Hi!" I returned his smile.
"B... Did you just wake up? Sorry, if I interrupt your break!" Aditya looked at my face which might not have been glowing this afternoon.
"No.. No...It's okay.. I'm not actually sleeping..." I then pause for a moment my words.
"Would you come in?" I asked him if he wanted to go into the room. I widened the entrance to my room.
"Actually, I just wanted to let you know that Me and Maya are going for a walk around the hotel. I'm offering, maybe you'd like to come around with us?" Aditya looked at me gently and I was immersed in the way he looked at me. But, since he mentioned that ABG name, my mood suddenly became broken.
Aditya will always take me wherever he goes, but I always feel that the invitation is just a small talk. He asked questions and never tried to convince me. Aditya would only ask once and once I answered 'no', he would nod his head and go straight with Maya.
Just as I was about to open my mouth to reject her, I saw Maya walking up to Aditya. I saw the girl walking while trying to button her coat. And emblazoned behind the coat is a tight garment that shows the still ripe d*da hemisphere.
What the.... Is she out of her mind? The temperature is 11° and he wears such sexy clothes behind his jacket?
I imagine, the two of them will definitely have dinner together after this. When entering the room, the servants will automatically ask for the coat of the guests, because the temperature in the room has been set as comfortable as possible so that one does not need to use layers of clothing. And... That means he will deliberately show his assets to Aditya.
****!!! Was she always dressed like that?
"B.....?" Aditya called me back because I haven't answered.
"Hows it? I told you, she won't come" Maya said, smiling cynically at me.
I really don't like the way Maya talks to me. And now I'm thinking of teaching this tacky girl a lesson.
"I happen to be hungry. Are you planning on finding dinner?" I looked at Aditya expectantly and a second later the man nodded his head.
"Sure! So... Do you want to join us?" Aditya asked again to confirm if I would like to join him.
"You two go inside first. I'll change my clothes for a minute." I saw Maya's face looking surprised. He certainly did not expect that I would join him.
Maybe I should really teach this little flea a little lesson. He should know that there is a big difference between women who are adults and those who try to look mature.
After Aditya and Maya entered my room. I immediately closed the door and headed to the walk in closet that was available in the room.
Usually I always use casual clothes that are a bit loose to disguise the size of my chest that is above average. But this time, in order to teach the girl a lesson, I would use a tight-fitted knitwear so as to show off my privileges without showing off the contents.
Quickly, I took off my fine clothes and put on a baby pink long-sleeved knitting outfit instead. The clothes were then combined with a dark brown coat, blue jeans, and of course a chelsea boots to reinforce my appearance.
Next, I tied my hair to a ponytail model, affixed a little powder and fresh pink lipstick to perfect it. It didn't take long to get dressed, 5 minutes later I was ready and stood before them both with a brighter face and a convincing appearance of course.
"I am ready. Shall we go.. now?" I saw Aditya who was stunned looking at me.
I realized, the man might feel a little strange because honestly I rarely dress up and use lipstick, except at parties or certain events. However, I was quite satisfied due to Aditya's change in attitude while looking at me it was read carefully by Maya.
I think it's time I followed the little girl's game. It was enough of an opportunity for him to make me feel alienated in the middle of my relationship with Aditya. Enough already!
