Soon as I figured out my amnesia which is actually hypnotics. I finally got the chance to forgive Jason, since he knows Hugo and I have to take that advantage to investigate more about my previous accident.
“So, this is Hugo’s office?”
Jason nods his head.
“You are lucky cause you didn’t bring that btch”
Jason exhales a harsh breath “Anaa” he said.
“I know, you feel annoyed when I call her your btch” being more sarcastic, “I know I made mistake but it was just a past that you erase from my head, regarding to our relationship, right now after my amnesia, the guilty one is you, I fall in love with you a lot, I forget about Andrea but you betrayed my faithful feelings. It hurts dude” I explain. Jason looked at me at the eyes, he seems guilty but I don’t care, he is about to touch my face again but then an assistant standing over us, clearing her throat before she starts speaking “Mr.Jaya?”
“Yes, I am” Jason stood up, and I followed him.
Hugo Adiputera.
He has a large and tall building his own, his office is at the end of the building. I can see beautiful city view from this huge window I am amazed, but I have to stay focus, I came here to question him.
We sat down on a cozy huge black leather sofa, then Hugo stood up from his desk shaking our hands firmly. I still can’t believe he is the one to blame for my accident.
“Welcome to Garnad, enjoy the snacks” Hugo is sitting at the sofa, right in front of us. I gave him a warm smile. I haven’t told Jason about why I have to see Hugo, I promised him I’ll tell him later after he helped me.
“So, there’s something Mr.Jaya want to talk?” he gave us a cheesy laugh, the typical uncle’s laugh, he sounds like my grandfather. Jason gave him a gasping laugh, which became weird to me, I only smile nervously, I have no idea what so funny for them.
“Is she your wife?” he asked. “A beautiful wife” he took a glimpse of me. What a pervert, I came here to question you, dude. Not for you to watch over me or praise me. Useless creature.
“No.. he is.. my ex wife” said Jason. A hit on his head. Hugo startled, he cleared his throat and then begin talking “Anything good for me to hear?” again, with his cheesy laugh.
“Hello sir, I came here because I have something to talk about” I start the conversation, Jason remain quiet since he is also curious.
“Yes?” Hugo leaned over when I took out an envelope with pictures and put it on the table, let the pictures of his car from the CCTV scattering around the table.
“Oh..this car..” Hugo then looked confused, somehow he looks innocent. He is a good actor if he really did this to me.
“I sold it.. long time ago” he shrugged. My eyes widened, what the hell is he talking about?
“Isn’t this your car?” I quirked an eyebrow.
“I sold this car like, 3 years ago. Because I bought the new one” he added.
“Do you know to whom you sell the car?”
“Um… I ask a dealer to sell it”
I frowned.
“Is there anything happen to my old car?” now he seems curious, he is really a good actor. Or he is really an innocent?
“This car caused an accident”
Hugo eyes popped up wide, like he can’t believe what I told him.
I drive to Jason’s office, since I need to fulfil my promise to him. To tell him exactly what happen to my accident.
“You didn’t tell me about it”
Since we make friends, we keep on arguing about everything. I feel kinda hurt inside, but I can’t show it to him of how I felt towards him. I don’t even know, have I move on? Or because we have those 11 months marriage of memories. I can’t erase them right away like tearing unwanted pages, it isn’t as simple as that.
“What? You want me to tell you everything??” I gave him a death glare.
“You are always so unpredictable, Ana”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Urghhh” he leaned his head on the wall.
“I don’t even know who caused the accident” I added.
“So you want to blame me? Is that what you want to say?”
“I –DON’T –KNOW!” I strictly spoke. “Please stop questioning me”
“How far have you investigate?”
“Only I figured out the car belongs to Hugo”
“But you need to think, Ana. Hugo is wealthy and friendly..”
“We never know” I shrugged.
“Do you even know who Julia is?” I gave him a second hit.
“Why do you keep talking about Julia?”
“Unhappy?” I slammed her desk with my palm. “Do you know her parents? Where she was? What was she? Or graduated from?” I leaned my head forward, we are 30 cm on each other, we aren’t going to kiss cause I feel disgusted if I do. I caught his eyes and his expressions changed. I know it. He knows nothing about Julia, he just fell in love with her because she is very flirty and sexy. Can’t believe a smart *** like Jason would fell for a woman like Julia, instead of me. I feel angry, it boiled deep in my system, as hot as lava. It churned within, hungry for destruction, and I know it's too much for me to handle. The pressure of this raging sea of anger would force me to say things I do not mean, or to express thoughts I've suppressed for months.
In a second, he walked up a step to me slowly and pulled me closer to him wrapping his arms around me. His embrace was warm, and his big, strong arms seemed very protective when wrapped around my frail body. I’m still so angry about what happened to us previously, but I also feel guilty, I want to push him away but I can’t. I feel safe around his arms.
Jason snuggled in “I know you mad at me, but please forgive me.. I’ll keep saying this if you don’t”
But there’s no use for me to fall again for this man, I don’t even know what love is right now. I feel guilty with this man, but I also feel angry. How could he did that to me? How could he betrayed me?
In that moment the arms squeezed a fraction tighter and I breathed more slowly, my body melting into his as every muscle lost its tension to the spring air. Even the truth will never fix us. I know Jason, he will stay with Julia and I will stay single.
***
7 p.m. at my apartment.
TING TONG
“Coming”
After my ex –husband comforts me that afternoon and I feel all broken, there stood another man, from my past in front of my apartment. Giving me his cheerful smile, when I look at him, that pressure is gone, the weight has
been lifted from my chest. Andrea is like a sunshine to me, the one that gives me warmth and light to my gloomy life.
“How are you?” he scratched his head, which is not itchy at all, I guess?
I reached out and hugged him tightly, wrapping my arms around his neck. He taps my back gently several times, trying to understand my sudden gesture. His arms are warm like shields of love, a hug so warm yet so different
than a motherly embrace. His gentle arms gives the space to breathe, the hug of strong arms that tells everything. I love both, the duvets and the human shields, each has their time. When they finally parted, I felt is absence as a
cold wind, wishing I could keep him wrapped around her like a well worn sweater for always.
“Hey, you..you cried?” he wipes my tears off my face, tucking my hair behind my ear, patting my head and say “It’s okay. Get inside and talk” he added.
“You know Andrea?” I said, playing with his button on his shirt. I’ve been leaning on his chest for an hour without saying anything, he didn’t ask anything too. He knows when to talk, and when to act. That’s what I love from
him.
“Hmm?”
“No, I was just wondering If I could talk to you about my personal things”
He gave a delighted chuckle “Sure, you always tell me everything..”
He added with a shrug “In the past”
“How could we ended up together again?”
“Um… Ana.. are you sure you want to know this?”
I nod my head, “A hundred percent sure”
“Me and you dated when we were a Junior High School student” he giggles.
“We broke up, then a year later you and Jason dating..” he continued.
“Then?”
“You both dating and I stay away from your life, for the whole semester, until we graduated from High School, until you graduated from IT university, and until the day you and I met in a café.. We finally talk, like after 5 years. I always hold myself to not talk to you or meet you again. Sometimes I wonder, why does fate bring us together when we can’t together? We did meet a lot, in a café, or mall, or even in the supermarket.. Sorry, but you are the one that came to me every time so I can’t hold myself anymore. In your fifth year dating, you and Jason are going to engage. You want to break up with him that time, but your mom insisted. Until you and your mom got a big fight”
He scoffed, “I even plan to propose you later after you and Jason broke up”
In my scattering memories, my mom and I did fight a lot. I remember something when I suffer this amnesia. It's too much for me “Then how?”
“You and Jason finally engaged, and we still hang out”
“After that?”
“You got a fight with your mom again, and then you got an accident. I was too late, I supposed to arrive at your apartment sooner, and try to persuade your mom maybe? But I was too late. I got a call from Vivi saying you got an accident”
“Then I got married after they gave me treatments?”
Andre nods his head, “Yes, after you recovered. You and Jason get married a month later”
“What a rush”
“Yes… actually, the day you got an accident. I have some prove of Jason and Julia”
I rose from the bed, sat down and looking at him seriously. “What?!”
“The day you got an accident, I got their pictures together and I was about to talk to your mom. You know too. I texted you”
“But you have to remember, you are engaged!” I clenched my fist, anger boiling inside me. “ENOUGH!” My mom looks startled, she looked down and say “I’m so sorry for what I’ve done to you” “Mom, just leave me alone. Let’s
go home, I am busy” I took my car key from my countertop. “Ana” again, she stopped me. “Mom” I clicked my tongue and turned my body, “I said let’s go home” strictly talking to her. “You know mom? I know something about Jason and he is cheating too”
There’s something I forgot, there’s a sentence I said before I brought my mom home.
“You know mom? I know something about Jason and he is cheating too” echoing inside my head.
My eyes popped up wide.
“Do you still have the picture?”
“Umm” Andrea mumbles as he rummage his pocket for his phone. He pulled out his phone and starts typing.
“This”
My mind was sent reeling, unable to comprehend or process the images it was being sent by my eyes. The picture of Jason and his bitch, they are at a restaurant holding hands, smiling at each other. How pathetic.
“Can you send it to me?” the wheels still spinning inside my head.
“Sure” he quirked an eyebrow but begin typing, “Ani, what are you going to do?”
“I afraid this accident involved Julia as well”
“How are you so sure about it?”
“You didn’t sneak around like a burglar, right?”
Andrea shook his head. “No” he replied shortly, immediately.
“Jason told her everything, it’s between Jason saw you or Julia” I took his phone and show it to him. “Look at her eyes” then my training kicked in, I was trained to deal with this kind of emergency.
“She knows I took a picture of them? I didn’t notice her eyes. I took this picture and never got the time to see it very clearly”
I clicked my fingers.
“I think we should find the car. That’s the only clue. Hugo said he sold it to the dealer”
