A Wife's Escape

Chapters 17. Okay, Sip!

The place Nisa visited was a lake. The lake is a natural lake that has now received an artificial touch from humans to maintain its sustainability. Usually very crowded visited by people. Many people who picnic, fishing, or even just stop by the lake called Wonder Lake.

However, this afternoon when Nisa came to the lake happened to be quiet. He then walked closer to a bench that was on the edge of the lake. He just sat pensively as he continued to look at the box he was carrying with a moody expression.

"Damn it! What am I really doing?" murmured Nisa who felt ridiculous herself.

Tomorrow I'll be engaged to Keyran, and now I'm still dating Ricky. But .. I don't want any of this to get any more complicated.

"Oh my God .. What should I do?" shrieked Nisa while looking up at the sky that seemed to be covered by clouds.

Even unknowingly I've brought a box containing all the meaningful gifts from Ricky. Has God led me to do all this? Does God want me to part with Ricky?

"It looks like I really need to break up with Ricky. But what reason should I wear? There's no way I can tell Ricky the truth. If I told her and if she really loved me. But I don't want him to sacrifice himself to such an extent."

Damnit damnit! Thinking like this just makes me tired! How could I possibly find a reason to break up with him? I don't really want to break up myself either! I really love Ricky.

"Or .. Did I just lie? I'm gonna make a bad excuse so he hates me! Yeah ... Just like that, at least he'll remember me! Though I'll be remembered as a bad guy."

But ... Can I? Just thinking about it made my heart hurt. My heart is not ready for all this. Maybe forever will not be ready.

After arguing with herself, Nisa finally muttered, "I have to call Ricky now! Because the longer I think about it, the more it hurts my heart!"

Nisa pulls out her phone, with trembling hands she tries to steady herself to call Ricky. And in just one call, Ricky immediately picked up the call. But Nisa gets even more nervous when she realizes that the call has been connected.

"H-hello Ricky .." said Nisa trembling.

"Nisa, what's wrong? Why is your voice like that? Are you all right?" ask Ricky who sounds worried.

"I-I'm good ... By the way are you busy? Do you have time to meet me now?"

"I've always had time for you, now where are you?"

"I'm at the lake ... Wonder Lake."

"Okay, you wait for me! I'll be there soon!"

"Yes, I'm afraid, you don't have to hurry. Be careful on the road!"

TUT ...

The phone call ended, Nisa immediately saved her phone back. But he seemed to regret what he had done to Ricky.

"Damn! In the end I did too. Hopefully Ricky will understand!" nisa said with a heavy heart.

It didn't take long for Ricky to get to the lake. Seeing the deserted condition of the lake made her grow even more worried, she then started running as fast as possible to find where Nisa was.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the familiar person's back sitting on a bench. Finally he found Nisa who was daydreaming by the lake, he immediately ran over and suddenly hugged Nisa from behind.

"E-uh?!" Nisa gasps.

"Thankfully you're okay, I'm so worried about you! Your voice was trembling, I thought something bad was happening to you. Then when I got here was also very quiet, it made me even more worried. Please don't repeat!" pinta Ricky who tightened her embrace.

After this there will be no chance to repeat.

"Promise, yes! If it's repeated, I won't forgive!"

"Yes-iya ... Now you sit down, I want to talk!" pinta Nisa while trying to release Ricky's embrace from her body.

"No want! If you want to talk, just talk. I want to hold you like this! Don't you like it like this too?"

"...." - ".Nisa was just silent and her body started trembling in fear.

"Nisa? Hey, answer me!"

"You hug too tightly, it's hard to talk like this" Nisa said in a soft voice.

Ricky .. You really care about me. It makes my heart hurt more. If it continues like this, I might be able to tell you the truth.

"OK-okay, I'm off ... Please talk!" Ricky then let go of his embrace.

Nisa took a deep breath then turned towards Ricky "Ricky, I-"

"Geez! Didn't you sleep last night? The dark circles under your eyes are so bad, like people with kidney disease! What would the world say if a doctor like me couldn't take care of a girlfriend on his own?" cut Ricky while holding Nisa's face.

"I-i"

"Ah!? I knew! You must have stayed up last night reading comics, right? Or, you must be watching a movie until you forget the time! I told you, it is not good for health if you keep staying up late. You must follow my orders! If you're insomnia, I'll also prescribe you some medicine!" cut Ricky again.

"Rice-"

"Oh yeah, why would you want to meet in a quiet place like this? Ah, I remember! You like calm, right? That's why you chose this place. By the way a quiet place like this is good too! So we can-"

"Ricky! Please stop cutting my words!" nisa's yelling a little frustrated.

"OKAY. But, just now you also cut my words!"

"...." - ".Nisa was silent and just stared with a cynical look.

"Ehmm .. sorry, please talk."

Nisa put Ricky's hand off her face, she then lowered her head. "Ricky, let's just break up!"

"Okay, sip!" ricky said spontaneously.

"...." - ".Nisa gasped and immediately looked at Ricky with a look of disbelief. In his mind there were a lot of questions.

Did I not hear wrong? Is it that easy to break up? You easily said that if you agreed, did I mean nothing to you all this time? Was all the time we spent together not love? Don't you also get tired of continuing to date me ? Could I think of myself as being too important to you?

Damnit damnit! It turns out .. The only one who feels pain is me.
