WOUND
Past Times

Not knowing how to deal with someone like Gisel anymore, he was really very annoying and his mouth was always silent, he just kept talking chatty and I was so lazy that he would ask me for help to get close to David, since long ago everything was difficult between me and David to be together because of Gisel, what now I have to experience that annoying thing again.

"Huaaa..I have to how now, he is really very annoying, I should go check the team only" said I as soon as I got up to go to the team's production room.

When I just got up and pushed my chair all of a sudden Gisel showed up quickly and he actually brought me a drink with his face that always looks cheerful but I don't know why he's like that's.

"E.ee..eeeh...Anna where are you going I've made sweet tea with your favorite ice" said Gisel, giving the glass to me,

"Sorry Gisel but I don't like tea with ice cubes like that, you'd better have a drink I'll check some with the production team" I said, rejecting him quickly.

I thought he wouldn't follow me but I was wrong, because he's now my personal secretary, of course he'll always be behind me following me and just keep going like a tail to me he's really very troublesome, as I watched him follow me out and put his glass away I started to furrow both my eyebrows and immediately stopped his pace quickly.

"Heh...Where are you going? Don't follow me" I said stopping him quickly while giving him a serious look,

"Anna...do you still hold grudges and resentments to me just because of what happened in High School and on campus?" Gisel told me.

Already knowing I was still annoyed at him he instead asked like that, of course I could not admit it directly to him, because I was also still a human who had a heart, I exhaled and tried to calm myself.

"Huf....Gisel please don't bring up the matter and I've forgotten all about it, if you bring it up again, you'll just remind me of the thing I hate the most, and I'm not stopping you because of that, but since you don't have to come with me, you better stay here and put together all the data, I'll leave it to Mr. Arsen soon" my words explained to him.

With a flash Gisel just changed the expression on his face, he just immediately smiled as widely as before and immediately nodded following the orders I said to him, seeing him who obeyed my words quickly like that, he said, I think he's changed a little bit because before he would never listen to me, let alone be ordered like I just now, maybe if all that happened first he would yell at me, nudging me hard and continuing to not want to get close to me, he just used me to get close to David, though I used to think of her as my only girlfriend who was close to me, but unfortunately she was not that sincere to be friends with me, so I still feel disappointed with her at this time.

So that I don't want to be with him for too long and use all of that as an excuse so that I don't have to meet or chat for too long with people who disappointed me in the past and it just makes me think back to the past events I hated so much.

#FlashBack

A few years ago, when I was seventeen, I was in the twelfth grade with David, we had our own table at the time and my desk was certainly next to David and Gisel, when it was the first time Gisel had moved classes, I didn't recognize him and I only played with David in High School, but suddenly a woman with a very cheerful character like Gisel came to me when I was watching a basketball game that was done by David at that time.

"David.ayo .I'm excited that you can...David! David! David Go! Go David Go!" I shouted, who continued to give full support to David at that time.

David also glanced at me and he gave me a thumbs up, so I replied with a thumbs up on him too.

Until not long ago suddenly Gisel approached me and he greeted me first when I did not know him at that time and was not interested also to get acquainted with him, because she is a girl who is quite popular in school even though she has just moved classes.

"Hi...you're Anna, right? Can I sit next to you?" Gisel's words first greeted me with the bright smile he had back then.

I who had a bad feeling of course did not dare to say no to him, so I immediately shifted and allowed him to sit next to me at that moment.

"Aahhhhhhhhhhhh... Sit down" I said to him, giving him space to sit next to me.

"Hehe... Thank you, oh yes Anna, may I meet you? I'm Gisel I want to be your friend, do you want to be my friend too?" Ask him to ask me to be friends with him.

I immediately furrowed my eyebrows feeling very astonished at that time, because since I was in school from small to large no one had invited me to make friends in such a way, they only recognized me at a glance as well as me to them, and in my mind there was only one best friend for me that I never forgot he was David, a man who has always looked after me, accompanied me and has been by my side ever since I was a child.

At that time I thought that just David was enough for me and I did not need to have another friend as long as there was David beside me but the appearance of Gisel who came into my life suddenlyarriving and inviting me to be his friend of course it really makes me happy, because she was the first girl friend to make close friends with me when she knew that I was often shunned by classmates because they thought I was arrogant, because they rarely talk and always refuse every time there is an event or gathering whatever they hold.

I pensively looked at her in surprise but Gisel immediately pulled my hand and she shook hands with me while introducing her name back then.

"Aishh..Why are you so pensive and silent, introduce me to Gisel and from now on I am your close friend, we must stay together forever, do you understand?" Said to me at that time.

Stupidly I just nodded without me knowing that Gisel's main intention to befriend and approach me was to take David away from me, he kept playing with me every day at school until he started asking me to introduce him to David, so I introduced him, over time he became close friends with David and they had more time together than I did, David ignoring me whenever Gisel was around, but he said that he liked me and then there was Gisel who heard that David immediately changed his mind and he chased after Gisel.

"Anna... I actually like you, can we date when we go to college?" Ask David at the time.

I was about to nod back but Gisel suddenly appeared and with his teary eyes, I knew Gisel might like David because he always asked me all about David.

"David?" Gisel caught both of us at the time.

Gisel then went for a run and somehow David just chased after Gisel quickly and I was left alone, I also felt anxious at Gisel at that time, so I went to catch up with him as well, but what I got was David hugging Gisel and Gisel staring at me at that moment, only David didn't know that I saw with my own eyes that they were hugging and Gisel declared his love for David in front of me.

"David...I like you why you prefer Anna over me, am I worse than her?" Gisel said to David at the time.

But I did not dare to rebuke him at all, until the sound of my feet accidentally stepping on a tree branch was heard by David and I just ran because I did not want David to see me with a sad face like that, I'm not like Gisel I'm different to him, I can't say what I want or what I feel to David, I thought he always understood me but since then he has apparently changed because of Gisel.

"Anna's...Anna.wait for me!" David shouted back to chase me.

But she was held by Gisel and I kept running alone.

Until we got home from school, David talked to me and he started explaining everything as if we were a couple already dating when it was me and he had absolutely nothing to do but from a friend and friend to each other since childhood.

"Anna.would you be angry with me, I didn't mean to hurt you at all I just couldn't resist Gisel I didn't want to hurt her feelings because she already had no parents, I didn't want to, I just feel sorry for her, Anna, and I hope you can understand me" David said.

"Davids... I understand you don't have to worry I'm not mad at you at all or at Gisel but you have to keep your promise to me, when we're in college we're not going to be lovers, that way no one can take you away from me or vice versa" I told him.

David immediately nodded and agreed to the promise with me even the two of us hooked the little fingers together with each other, at that time I was indeed sick, but I held it back, but I held it back, I think there's no point in taking matters into account like that because I already knew that David only liked me, without me realizing that it just makes Gisel continue to be excited and try harder to keep taking David from me, he was always weak and helpless in front of David just to take his sympathy, I thought when the three of us graduated from High School I would be free from Gisel but I was wrong again, David tells Gisel where he will continue his studies so of course Gisel went to the same university as me and David, even Gisel majored in business with David, they have always been together since college because I studied cooking differently from the two of them at that time.

It was at that time that Gisel had so many great opportunities to take David away from me, I almost lost David at that time, he had no time for me and was always with Gisel, he also forgot his promise to me there was not even a chance for me to ask him if the promise was still valid or not, or if David still liked me or not.

I chose to focus on studying and studying, I tried to forget about David but still couldn't, and Gisel went abroad when we graduated at that time, he disappeared all of a sudden and I felt very happy, I became more and more time to be with David and the atmosphere returned to how it used to be, even though I know David still asks about Gisel to me for a few weeks after Gisel's departure.

But because he was busy working and I was busy looking for work to build our own restaurant, we started to forget about Gisel and David never even asked about him again, I was happy and was able to get back into a relationship with David like I used to, very close and like a couple, but there was something David did not keep to me, a promise to be in a relationship with me, he said, he didn't say it until now until Gisel was back in the middle of the two of us again.

#FlashBack Off

"Anna's....Anna.hey..Anna!" Said Mey's secretary who woke me up from a long daydream at the time.

"Aaahh .. Mey's secretary, what's wrong?" I asked him with his eyes wide open and his own confusion.

"Anna.why are you okay why do you keep pensive like that until you don't listen to my greetings, even though I have called you many times" Mey's secretary told me.

I could only scratch the back of my head slowly back then because I couldn't tell everything I was actually thinking in my head before.

"No secretary Mey I'm just a little daydreaming maybe because my stomach is so hungry, hehe I'll check the other food" I said to him as I immediately walked to check the food that was being produced by the team at that time.

Secretary Mey just seemed to be shaking her head slowly looking at my rather strange behavior that day.

I could refocus my work again and start asking for the data that Gisel had created before, I saw the work was pretty good even though there were some things I still had to improve at that time, and of course it made me have to work twice, he did not help me at all, but instead made me more troublesome, he said, moreover, my hand was still on the bandage back then so it was a bit difficult for me to knock in front of the computer, luckily everything was completed in time and I said nothing to Gisel when I confronted him.

I immediately went to the room Mr. Arsen was about to provide data on the achievement of the sales target as well as some new foods that we will start producing in sufficient quantities as an opening.

"Tock..tock...tok..." The sound of knocking on the door I knocked slowly.

The words of Mr. Arsen who allowed me to enter began to sound, then I immediately pushed the door and walked slowly to face him, I gave the document to him.

"Master ..this is the data you asked for" I told him, bowing.

He picked it up and I was about to leave, but Mr. Arsen held me back by calling my name as I turned around.

"Wait Anna!" Sir Arsen's words holding back my steps prevented me from leaving at the time.

When I heard Mr. Arsen call me and hold me there I already had a bad feeling in my heart and I had also kept my sore hand behind deliberately so that it would not know that my hand was real it was still in the bandage back then and I kept it hidden from him.

"Ohhh .god she wants anything else, hopefully not to ask about my hand" I muttered worriedly.

"What about your hand, is it completely healed?" Mr. Arsen's question made me very surprised.

Just now I was hoping that he wouldn't talk about my hand but instead he immediately asked it like that right at the moment I was just hoping, instead, everything was completely in vain and there was no luck for me at that time.

I could only look at him with a faint smile and confusion as to how to answer his question.
