I stared at the blue gift box that Arnold had given me. Then slowly opened it, and found that there were many photos of me in it. I began to see one by one photos that showed the average daily life I did after deciding to divorce Arnold.
It seems Arnold asked someone to take a picture of me. It was evident from each photo that someone who took my picture must have followed me all day.
At the bottom of the box, there is a greeting paper. Slowly I started reading it.
'Dear Velicia Arista's....
Happy 24th birthday. I pray that you will always be healthy and live a long life. Thank you for being patient with my attitude for 3 years. Thank you for always being the best wife for me. Even though I've always been bad to you.
I can't give you a special gift. I just want to say that I will always love you. I realized that I was very bad for you. But, one thing I want to say, that I have absolutely no knowledge of your past pregnancies. Especially until I hurt you to make you miscarry.
Yesterday, Viona admitted to everything that it was her that caused you to miscarry. Even so, you may not care what I say anymore. But again I tell you. I love you so much. Look at it as proof, I always follow wherever you go. To make sure that you're going to be okay.
And one of the most important things I will tell you, I WILL NOT GIVE UP. I'll get you back to me.'
At first I thought Arnold would apologize and let me go. The man is still selfish. Regarding the problem of miscarriage that I experienced first still because of his mistake that can not protect me.
I was so upset that I didn't realize that Andreas had been standing next to me ever since.
"Gift from Arnold?" Asked Andreas who I replied with a nod.
The look on his face changed like a disappointed person. However, it quickly changed by displaying his smile.
The birthday show ended at exactly 12 p.m. And the surprise that I got next was that Andreas had rented this hotel for the family. Until I don't have to go home.
"Sleep." Andreas said as he walked me to the door of the room that was rented specifically for me.
Before entering, Andreas kissed my forehead softly and long enough. After that he left and did not look back.
I went into the room and found that all the gifts given by the people had been gathered on the bed. Like a very happy little boy given a lot of gifts, that's how I am today. I was so excited to open one by one the gifts that people gave me.
Maybe everyone present knew that I liked the color blue, until all the gifts given were predominantly blue. Starting from the dress, the bag, to someone who gave me a small doll in blue.
After getting tired of opening all the presents, I began to lay down my body. Still in Cinderella's dress I ended up sleeping soundly.
********
Today, I was helping Merry at his teahouse. Merry is holding a massive promotion to tell his customers about his teahouse that has branches inside the playground.
After the promotional event ended, I chose to sit in the corner of the tea room while occasionally enjoying Merry's tea. As I was sipping a cup of green tea, I was suddenly startled by Viona's arrival in front of me.
'What else is this?' my thinking.
Viona then just sat down without me letting it go. I looked at him sharply.
"I'm sorry." Viona said without further ado.
"What are you sorry for?" Ask her.
"I've done too much wrong to you. Including taking Arnold from you. You must have known that I was the one responsible for the loss of your womb first."
Viona's words reopened my old wound and made it sting again.
"I know." Reply with a bitch.
The look on Viona's face was shocked to hear my answer.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'd get angry and hurt you to get back at you?" My speech.
Viona was down, for the first time I could see the guilty look on her face. All this time he always showed his arrogant face in front of me.
"So you're not blaming Arnold?" Ask Viona.
Arnold is still guilty. Wh why? Because he never paid attention to me. When I miscarried, I went to the hospital and had to be hospitalized for 2 days. Did he ever ask me where I wasn't coming home for two days? Actuallyno. He was busy with Viona.
"Velicia, are you helping me?" Ask Viona again.
"Are you serious? You want to ask me for help?"
Viona nodded, she then opened the large sunglasses she was wearing. It looks blackish purple under her eyes which is also swollen.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked in surprise.
"Arnold did all this to me. She asked about the miscarriage that happened to you and I told her what really happened. But all I got was he beating me. You know, Velicia, I've always loved Arnold no matter what. Do you remember the money you gave me to tell me to stay away from him? That's all he knows." Viona.
I was surprised by what Viona said. Arnold knows what Viona did. But he was always funny and ignored her. Including when Viona used to slander me for having someone kidnap and harass her.
Whoa, Arnold. I don't know what else I don't know about you.
"One thing Arnold didn't know was your pregnancy. Arnold loved me a lot. But I don't want to take any chances until I act like that. I'm afraid Arnold will leave me when he finds out you're pregnant with his son. I'm sorry Velicia." Said Viona who started shedding tears.
I was silent, not knowing what to do. Wanting to calm Viona down, but the heartache I felt as a result of her actions to me all this time made me undo my intentions.
"I don't know what to do anymore. I thought after you guys got divorced and she got everything she and her Papa wanted she could settle for and marry me right away. In fact, Arnold was stalling and until now did not want to marry me. She even wanted to leave me in this pregnant state. I know, Lord Setyawan does not like me and prefers and loves you. But Arnold, he did all this to me. He wanted to leave me who had always supported him, accompanied him, even my whole body I gave to him long before you were married. When you were married, Arnold consciously visited me abroad just to spend the night with me. Now all he does is like this. And while I was carrying her child." Viona was sobbing again.
"Didn't she you marry you?" My toot.
Viona.
"Arnold is an ambitious man. If something that already belongs to him will be seized by others. Then he will as much as possible to reclaim what he wants. And that's you. All this time he didn't notice you because you were crazy about him. However, after learning that you started a relationship with Andreas. He cannot accept it and still wants to have you. Moreover, he had the support of the Great Lord Setyawan." Answer Viona.
Arnold didn't want to let me go, not because he loved me. But because he's obsessed with me and doesn't want to lose to Andreas.
Oh, my God, my head hurts so bad.
Suddenly Viona stood up and directly walked out without saying goodbye.
'What's wrong with that woman?' my thinking.
Right after his departure, from behind someone stroked my head and kissed him gently.
"Andreas."
"Hi sweetheart. What were you talking about with that woman?" Andreas asked that made me mute.
Andreas smiled and stroked my cheek.
"That's it, no need to discuss. Now come with me. I have a little surprise for you." Said Andreas pulling my hand to follow him.
"What surprise again?" My toot.
"To be told his name is no surprise anymore." Andrew answered as he walked to the door.
"Merry, I'll borrow your best friend first." Shouted Andreas who made the tea shop visitors look towards us.
"Just bring. Just give him back to his original form." Shouted Merry with his laughter.
Merry was sitting at the cashier's desk watching me talk to Viona. He won't interfere in my dealings with Viona. Although I know, the pregnant woman had always wanted to grab Viona's hair because it had made the man who was now her husband disabled for life. But, Merry was finally able to accept the fate that God gave him. Just as I now accept the destiny God gave me.
I hope that this man holding my hand will always love me no matter what happens to me in the future.
Seriate......
