I sit on my couch and rub my chin. "Galih wants to meet you," I did not respond.
Flashback on
"We have been together until June 12th last year. She was the one who broke my heart. I don't know where my is my fault was. I admit, I'm not perfect like Galih, but we are human, right?" I pass the basket to her.
After finishing our lunch snack, Mrs. Wardiono invited us to her condo. Both of us were already eating lunch inside the car with a package of BigMac, and a cheeseburger.
And now it was our third round. I will start workout tomorrow.
"Does Eva still bother you after that?" I nodded.
"I keep all of the evidence until now," I put the spoon, and she does the same. "I know she's your in-law, but please, I will let Galih lose, but her." I shook my head, "I can't hold it, ma'am. I want my freedom." I sighed.
"I don't have a problem if you dragged my in-law to the court, but will you guarantee she will not drag Galih back?" The son of the throne, I should be careful.
"I..." she interrupted my word. She has the behavior like Rose.
"Can you do it!?" I gulped my saliva because it was a hard decision to make.
Flashback off
I took a deep breath. I need fresh air, "w-where were you going? It's already midnight," I approached Rose. I'm looking into her brown eyes and realize something.
I already have a wive. It's time for me not to mess up. I know you love your wife, but this is too much for you? Get up, and face it! You've been doing worst before.
"I want to ask you out," she hugged me.
"I know where you want to go, but since you already clean, I get it. Thank you for choosing this," Rose looks into my eyes. "I know you can hold yourself." she rubbed my cheek.
"Will you..." she shook her head.
"I will not leave you," I looked at her, "you were at the lowest point, and forever I will stay by your side, no matter what." I hugged her tight. "Lobak..." we heard a door knock.
"It's time, okay?" I nodded. I took a deep breath and opened the door. I hold Rose's hand.
"I..." I let him in. I take out my knife.
"Better you explain to us, or I will scream while calling the receptionist!" Rose stared at Galih as we sat on the couch.
"What Eva accused, it's wrong! It's not what I did to her!" I leaned on the sofa. "I even don't know that my wife came to your office," he talked about that incident.
"I talked to your mom today," I straightened up my body, "she wants you to go home and take the throne." Galih shook his head.
"I love my wife, Lobak. I don't want to go home," he hasn't woken up.
"If she loves you back, she won't come to me, Galih. She looked after me because I have a lot of money. So, where's your ring, then?" He covered his fingers.
"I-I sold it, okay! I sold it!" I sighed. he was stubborn like me.
"If you loved her, why would you sell your wedding ring? Are you still gambling!?" I asked.
Galih closed his face with his hand and took a deep breath. The atmosphere suddenly becomes tense. It's only a matter of time one of us will punch each other.
"Your mom told me not to drag you into this mess," Galih stood up.
"Can you tell my mom not to bother me again!? I don't want her to force me to sit on the throne as an heir! I don't want to do it!" I heard my door slam. I saw Mrs. Wardiono standing at the door and looked at Galih.
"It's our cue to leave," we walked outside, "don't throw a single object inside this room because this hotel was mine. I don't want you to make a loss as your dad did." I said before we walked outside.
I closed my eyes and leaned my back on the door, "babe, are you okay?" I felt my head dizzy and sweating. I massage my forehead.
"Mrs. Gabriela, someone wants to meet you." Who the hell wants to meet me at this hour!? Oh, God. I want to explode. I took a deep breath and looked at Rose.
"You want to meet them?" She asks. I did not answer her question. I felt like I want to disappear from the camera and spotlight, but here am I, a famous author, entrepreneur, and public figure at the same time.
"Who?" I asked Reggie.
"Eva's sister, Ria, and her husband. They were waiting in the lobby." Great sane person. I stood up and looked at Rose.
It's midnight. I wanted to sleep, but our room used to debate with mother and son. I hope they did not destroy all the objects inside my room. "Shall we?" Rose nods.
"Reg, can you make sure no one here?" I secretly gave him money, "it's for... your extra hours." I caught up with Rose.
She pressed the button and waited for the lift to arrive. "You bribe Reggie again?" She caught me.
"Yeah, I tasked him to guard the door, and it's not at his work hour." She hugs my hip.
"Don't bribe him behind my back again, okay? I know you will not do that. Bribe people for their good tasks. It's okay, but if you were doing it for corruption, I would chop your hands," she slapped my butt and got into the lift.
So, she becomes the third Vicenzo, or does our little creature want it? Well, never mind, she's hot when she talks like that. I peek at Rose's phone.
I guess I left my phone in our room. I hope Galih did not throw that phone.
"You and... the uh... y-your new friends chatting?" Rose nods. "They said they missed me," I rubbed her back. I want to say the witches, but I almost forgot that she is a female and my wife.
"You know, Delinda said that we look like a witch." True, "but I don't know why she says that. Do you think we look like a witch?" Hell, yes!
"No, you more like a... cute doctor in the medieval era and practice a white magic," I said as she looked at me.
"So, they the evil doctor and practice a black magic?" Yes, they are. We walked to where Eva's sister was waiting for us.
