The next day Teo had made an appointment with Chelsea's husband at a restaurant near the town hall, "Good afternoon," said Chelsea's husband greeted him in a friendly manner.
"During the afternoon!" Said Teo while shaking his hand.
"Please!" Teo said inviting him to sit down.
"You came to the event with my wife's friend, right?" He asked to make sure it wasn't anyone's fault.
"Yeah right I came with Jane that time," Teo smiled.
Then the waiter came with the menu, after choosing the food and the others then they started talking.
"So what do you want to ask me?" asked Chelsea's husband curiously.
"I want to ask how do you know Kevin?" Teo asked starting a serious conversation.
"I know because we used to work together." The man replied.
"I heard that Kevin is married to a model?" Teo asked again.
"Yes he is married to a model even I can't believe someone like him can marry that woman." The answer was not expecting.
"Do you know that woman's face?" asked Teo seriously.
"Oh yes, I've seen her at that time, her face is really beautiful. I'll look for a second, I think I've taken a picture together at Kevin's wedding." Said the man then took his cellphone and checked the gallery.
Teo's heart rate really couldn't be controlled, it was beating very fast, "Ah, it looks like it's been deleted, sorry. But I can guarantee that his wife is really beautiful, but certainly no less beautiful than my wife haha," said Chelsea's husband with a laugh. It's true that no matter how beautiful the woman out there is, her partner is still beautiful and vice versa.
Teo's heart was like being carried on a roller coaster, after rising high and then descending rapidly.
Teo took his cellphone and showed Val's photo. "Is this person Kevin's wife?" asked Teo nervously.
"Well, that's right, she's his wife," Chelsea's husband replied confirming.
BLAARRR!
It was like being struck by lightning, Teo suddenly became completely blank after hearing those words. He really did not expect but Teo must be able to control his emotions.
"Sorry in advance why did you ask about Kevin's wife?" Asked Chelsea's husband curiously, but Teo was silent with a pale face.
"Sorry?" Said the man broke Teo's daydream.
"Oh yeah sorry I was a little lost," said Teo felt bad.
"Oh relax, so why are you asking about Kevin's wife? Do you know each other?" asked the man curiously.
"Oh no, Kevin's wife is a photo model of an acquaintance of mine," Teo replied evasively.
"I see, then is there anything else you want to ask? I'll answer as best I can," said the Chelsea husband.
Finally, Teo turned the topic of conversation into business so that Teo's intention was not known to invite Chelsea's husband to meet.
After a long conversation about business, they finally said goodbye. Teo was then picked up by the driver. Along the way he tried to hold back tears but couldn't, he could only cover it with the suit he was wearing. Like sleeping in the car.
"Sorry sir, today take me to my own house, I have some things to bring. You'll just pick me up in the morning, okay?" Said Teo told the driver to go to his house. Teo desperately needed calm this time.
"Well," answer the driver.
Along the way, Teo tried his best not to express his emotions, he wanted to get to his house as soon as possible.
A few minutes later Teo had arrived at his house, then quickly entered the house.
And when Teo was already in tears, his heart was completely broken for the truth that had been hidden for so long.
Teo sat down near the door, with his head down, tears welled up in his eyes.
His mind is really messed up, nothing can calm him tonight even the cigarette he used to smoke to relieve stress will not be able to relieve his sadness.
Teo was really venting his emotions, he couldn't control himself. His chest ached as if it had been stabbed by a sword, it hurt even more than that.
The woman he loved with all his soul turned out to have turned away without him knowing, Teo really felt stupid for waiting for a long time without any clarity from him.
Teo burst into tears, he let out everything he had been holding in all this time alone. Let the world know that today there is a man whose sincerity was viciously damaged by someone he loves.
That night became the umpteenth night that Teo felt such pain, an old wound that had been closed was reopened but this time it was worse.
The night is getting late, the moon is right in its position by emitting its beautiful light along with the stars that are far away.
The night was very quiet and comfortable. But not with Teo inside him something stirred. Feelings of sadness, hopelessness and depression became one in his heart.
If you know there is someone who truly sincerely loves you more than anything, sacrifices everything he has just to be with you.
But what did that person get? Only hurt and disappointment because they have misplaced their hopes on someone who doesn't know themselves. After all, he has always been with you no matter what.
Teo tried to get up but his legs were too weak now. He saw that his cellphone had several calls from Lee and Lala but he didn't answer at all. Teo really wanted to be alone to express his sadness so that the next day he could still smile and lie as if nothing had happened.
But actually behind it, there is a heart that is hurt by deep disappointment.
The clock on the cellphone shows it's 23:44 how long has he been crying? Three or four hours?
It started to rain outside slowly adding to the chill of the night. Teo sat quietly in the chair looking up at the sky that was previously bright and suddenly became cloudy.
The light of the moon and stars was covered by black clouds. As if nature described Teo's current mood.
The rain outside is growing heavily as well as inside the house. Teo cried again as if he couldn't believe the reality.
The truth is always painful but after that it will recover, but will the sadness of the truth recover quickly? It may take years for him to heal, until he finds a drug that can relieve the pain.
Memories with Val flashed through his mind. Everything about him just came to mind, "You the one and only," Val said one day when he was alone with Teo, but why is it different from what this is now?
Teo tried to control himself, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hold back his deep sadness.
Then Teo saw a photo of himself with Val first, he smiled and cried remembering those moments.
While wiping the tears that flowed Teo tried to keep smiling even though in the end there were only unstoppable sobs.
Teo felt that God was so cruel to him. Punishing Teo for the umpteenth time with excruciating pain.
But actually someone once said 'Sometimes God doesn't give you what you think you want, not because you don't desert it. But because you deserve better' The tears flowed freely without any more sobs being heard.
