The Untold Story
The Heart of Man and the Ocean
- B's PoV--
*Lac Leman, French Waters: 2003*
One by one instrumentalia and songs have been played alternately on stage. Some of the top international singers also enliven and complete the harmonies of love that was echoed across there.
Throughout the water and moonlight concert, Aditya and I spent more time enjoying it by sitting on a long sofa that was available on the front deck. On the sofa we chatted and joked with each other while enjoying romantic music. Sometimes we also take a sip of champagne, hug each other, even make out a friendly fondle because the songs that are performed make the atmosphere around us warm up and encourage us to touch each other.
Time after time passed. This concert has arrived at the end. Currently the conductor has delivered farewell greetings and thanks to all the spectators present.
There was a feeling of slight disappointment tucked inside my heart upon hearing that goodbye. The feeling was actually more because I hadn't danced with Aditya.
Spontaneously, I stood up and walked to the end of the deck to see more clearly the conductor's expression while quietly tucking in hope. Ah, if only I could talk to her in person and ask her to play one more song so we could dance... If only...
"B....." Aditya approached me again.
"Why? Isn't that enough?" He asked me as the conclusion to the expression I showed. I just nodded my head in response.
"Is their game less good?" Aditya tried to ask my opinion.
"No! They are the best. It's just that the concert is over but we haven't even danced yet," a little shyly I said my reason for putting on a disappointed look.
Once I arrived and since I knew the basic concept of this concert, I actually had planned to invite Aditya to dance together, whether it was one or two songs. I thought, of course, opportunities like this are so rare. When else would I have the chance to dance in the moonlight like this? Unfortunately, again I had to learn to accept that not everything I wanted I could get.
"You... Want to dance with me here?" Celoteh Aditya is trying to make my words clear.
Aditya held back his laughter. I can read the man's expression. It seems like tonight he has two personalities. Romantic and annoying.
"Why do you dance? Are you going to make fun of me now?" I was preparing to pinch his stomach. Luckily the man was able to escape.
"Don't get mad! Look, there's still one last song that hasn't been played. Maybe it can amuse you a little bit," Aditya told me gently as he took my palms and grasped them.
"really? How do you know that? If so, do you know the title?" I asked a series of questions out of curiosity and happiness if Aditya's words proved the truth.
Aditya did not have time to answer my question, the conductor then mentioned the title of the last song to be performed and invited a French singer who had just risen at the time to interpret it.
"Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome our special guest from France, Miss Carla Bruni.... Moon River's..." The conductor's invitation to the singer raised the cheers of the audience who immediately stood up and gave applause from the top of their respective yachts.
The music went well a few seconds after that. Now, the female singer is even preparing to show off her talent.

Moon river rider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday
The French singer's voice was so sweet that it hypnotized everyone. An old song that was performed in a different style, seemed to almost make all who witnessed it lose consciousness for a moment, including myself. I even forgot that this song was my last chance to dance with Aditya.
🎵🎶🎵🎶
A dream maker
You heartbreakers
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' you're way
I'm still watching everyone who's showing talent on stage. I was so focused on looking forward that I didn't realize that there was someone kneeling before me right now.
"Shall we dance.... B?" I flinched as I suddenly heard a voice. The voice that asked me to dance and made me realize that I should never miss this opportunity again.
And that guy is... Adityas. He who was currently kneeling before me, thrust out one hand to ask me to accompany him to dance.

Two drifters off to see the world
We move in a matter of waltz music movements. Next to my hand was held by Aditya in a stretched position, while the other hand touched the man's shoulder. Unlike me, Aditya's hand touched my waist and brought her closer to her body.
🎵🎶🎵🎶
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waitin' round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon river and me
We kept dancing and dancing. We moved without hesitation with a warm feeling in the chest. Aditya locked me with his gaze so that my whole body and soul were only directed at the man.
Honestly, I'm lulled. I even lost my mind a moment later. And that cradling common sense gave birth to an unexpected action.
The cup!!
I'm fondling. This time I took the initiative to do it first. Fascinating Aditya Wardhana, a man I used to hate so much and now so much.... Should I say that feeling?
In the middle of the dark night... Above sea level... Under the full moon... In front of everyone, I smelled it. I love my husband with all my heart.
I don't care about other people's gazes that might catch our behavior. I don't care about how they judge me by the way that it might look stiff. I just wanted to express what I felt in my heart and express it to my husband while hoping that he would understand.
I know he was surprised. I could read his expression of not expecting that I could start first. However, even so, from the end of my eyes I could also see her smile. The happy smile that he rarely showed all this time.
Ah, Aditya.... Why are you always right? Tonight is still long and I can even make it longer.

*Swiss Releases: 2003*
the Sternenlicht has now driven back to Geneva. At first Aditya wanted to take me straight back to the hotel, but I refused.
Maybe I'm crazy or maybe I'm drunk with the champagne we gulped earlier. No one would have guessed that I seduced her. Yes, I seduced my husband to spend the night in this yacht with me.
The man refused at first. He cannot predict the weather and worry about our safety. However, it was not Bellatrix's name if she could not seduce Aditya this time. With tears, a slight gentle touch, and a spoiled whimper, the man finally gave up as well.
Even so, Aditya asked to bring this yacht at least back to Geneva waters first. According to him, it feels safer than if we are still in the territorial waters of France.
And here we are now. This yacht has stopped at a place that is considered quite safe by the captain, who is none other than Aditya. Meanwhile, I was waiting for the man who had become my husband in a small cabin equipped with various luxurious facilities.
Aditya did tell me to rest first because the night was late. But instead of resting, in that cabin I was dressing myself as beautifully as I could, because tonight I will give myself to her. Yes, I have decided that I will give myself completely to Aditya.
My heart feels steady. I will end my search for Indra and anchor my heart to Aditya. I love her and I will admit it once our bodies have fused. I had everything planned in my mind.
Right now, I have even taken off the dress I was wearing and the entire cloth attached to my body. I only left a coat to cover while my body was plain. With a sense of anxiety and also shame, I stood facing the mirror while making sure my appearance again, until...
"B........" I can see Aditya's figure from the mirror reflection. The man was standing at the door of the cabin after opening it.
"B... You haven't been......." Before he ended his sentence, at the same time I dropped the coat before him.
Aditya's eyes were round in surprise. However, the condition did not last long. From the mirror's reflection I could see that he was trying to neutralize his expression back.
Slowly, with complete restraint so as not to directly pounce on me who was baiting him, I found Aditya stepping over to me. Suddenly my body trembled. Maybe it was because of my first experience of giving myself up like this.
I then turned my face in embarrassment. I closed my eyes as he began to touch some parts of my body, wiping them carefully before then crouching and leaving a red mark on my nape.
Looking at his attitude, I was more and more convinced that tonight we would be real husbands and wives. I knew Aditya wanted me just as much as I wanted him. We are married and now we love each other. There is nothing wrong in this relationship.
I still closed my eyes and enjoyed all the touches, until they suddenly stopped and I felt lost. What's the matter?
"Do you mean to pay me for everything I did to you, B?" I was shocked when Aditya took back the fallen coat and covered my body again. Wh why?
I turned my body so I could look at him. I thought, was he joking? But I have a different expression.
Now I can only hold the coat that is firmly reattached to my body. That's all I can do.
"Do you still rate me as a man who only wants your body? What I've been doing all this time can't make you realize who I really am and how I feel about you, B?" I-I don't understand.
Why is this, didn't he just touch me as if he wanted me? And now he?
I immediately shed tears. Can someone explain to me what happened? What happened to Aditya? Did I hurt her? But why is it my heart that seems to be hurting now?
"I-I....." I was confused where to start.
I actually want to explain everything. But these lips are really muddy. I was even afraid to speak again, because I didn't want to just talk more and more he would be misunderstood.
"You're really upsetting me, B!" I found Aditya's eyes glazed over before he stepped towards the exit and intended to leave me alone.
A-adity.. L'm... This is not what I meant... Not like this.... I'm not paying for his good deeds......
Aditya continued to continue his steps and opened the door, but before he completely disappeared from my sight, I.....
"I love you......" My tears are flowing more and more unstoppable. Eventually the word came out of my lips and it was the words that stopped him.
"I love you Aditya......" My crying sounds clearer. Aditya turned his face towards my body again and looked at me with an expression that was hard for me to explain.
I've already said it. I thought he would run to hug me after this. I thought he would grab me again and realized that all the weird things I did were because I had given my heart to him, but...
"Then tell me what made you turn B?" Aditya looked at me deeply.
"What makes you love me?" I froze. Really, I don't know what to pay back.
I couldn't find any reason because all I knew was that I loved her for no reason and because it was hard for me to explain everything.
"The heart of man is as big as the ocean, B! I just don't want you to get lost in your own feelings" Aditya said back while looking at me wistfully.
Whatdoes thatmean? Does he think that I don't recognize my heart and feelings for him? Did he think I could appear before him without a thread like this because it was based on an unclear feeling?
"Ask your heart again... Findtheanswer.... L'm.... Don't want you to regret it one day" Aditya said, leaving me alone in this cabin with a million questions and deep hurt feelings.
