Lisa POVS.
I cried as soon as Julia hugged me. The feeling that was raging in my chest I immediately spilled out with tears. There were no words that I uttered, because I just wanted to cry, venting everything with a cry. Until this heart is satisfied.
“You take a shower first huh? Cleanse your body, let me prepare her clothes. We eat with stories. I'll take care of your wounds again.” Julia advised me to freshen up with a shower. I obey.
He handed me a towel and a new toothbrush before I entered the bathroom. “Wear only soap, shampoo and others that are there. Don't hesitate.” Julia offered her kindness to me. And I, again only able to nod back.
In the shower, a glimpse of the incident when the woman attacked me again flashed. I remember very well when he said that I was the actor and I had taken his. Is that true?
At that instant I returned to shed tears, why should my life be like this? My first love felt distant and blocked by a thick wall so clear. And now, when I get another love, why does another love belong to another? Why do I have to live in bad luck after my parents died??
Intentionally I spilled my tears again while crying, it feels like this heart is not too satisfied to cry.
**
Julia gave me one of her pajamas. Then he invited me to dinner with his brother who had received my phone call.
“I ordered a delivery service, hopefully this will suit your appetite, Lisa. Let's eat!” Julia took me with her to her dining table.
This apartment looks smaller than mine. It is even smaller because the kitchen is also only potluck, not as wide as the kitchen in my apartment which is equipped with a kitchen set. This was the first time I went into his apartment. Because I used to wait at the door or at least I waited in his car on the side of the road.
Now I don't think, it turns out from his appearance, much different from his life. “I didn't know your apartment was like this. Sorry, I thought you—”
Julia smiled broadly and said, “I know you are from a rich family, what else since I know where the apartment area you live in. The area includes the standard area of London. It is not the most luxurious but it is in the middle. Much different from me.” Julia opened a lunchbox and handed it to me.
“This, please enjoy,” said another woman I had seen. The woman Julia refers to as Amelya.
“Amelya, right? Thank you,” I said while welcoming a pair of spoons and forks that he gave. Then he sat down next to Julia, right opposite me.
Julia's dining table is attached to the wall so it only has three parts of a chair. Which is where Julia is between me and Amelya. Julia also opened another lunchbox for Amelya as well as for herself.
The three of us ate in silence. Only the sound of spoons and forks clinking beautifully into each other became the background sound when we ate dinner this time. Until finally all the activities are finished.
Right now I feel a little more calm. My eyes were busy watching the contents of Julia's apartment carefully. I look at him washing the dishes. I occasionally sipped my drink, then tried to calm myself down.
“You've been staying here a long time, Jul?” ask after a few breaths.
Julia turned a glance then looked back at some of the equipment she was washing while answering my question, “Iya has been quite a long time, it has been a few years.”
“Previously live where?”
“I previously stayed in dorm. Then when I started working, I decided to get out of there, because in the dormitory there were some rules I couldn't follow. One of them is about curfew.”
“Then directly get this place?” I'm curious.
“Not also, there was a first place before this. I stayed in a motel for a few days. Then after that around looking for a place, can this apartment.” Then Julia took off her apron and sat back in her chair. While Amelya, may have returned to Julia's bedroom earlier, as soon as dinner ended.
Yes, I see here there is only one bedroom with one bed. It would be uncomfortable if I had to stay here. Pity her brother Julia if we have to sleep jostling. I finally got back to thinking and just wanted to go back to my apartment.
“Now is not the time to talk about me, but about you. What's up?” julia said gently as she rubbed the back of my hand that was on the table. He looked at me while I was staring straight in the face.
“News aja. Who knows with the story you can free a little feeling full in your heart. Let it be relieved and comfortable.”
I let out a rough sigh and then for a few seconds I closed both of my eyelids. Trying to calm my heart once again, so that when I tell Julia everything, there are no more cries I let go.
“I've dated Dave several times and have also slept together. Then she also asked me to be her lover,” I started telling Julia everything.
Even with details I told all the events, so Julia was surprised to hear when I said that this morning I was attacked by his wife Dave while in his apartment.
“You're sure, Lis, it's his wife?” Julia screamed loudly.
I nodded quickly. “Yakin, I heard very clearly. The woman said I was teasing her husband,”.
“Padala previously we also met. At that moment ..the woman looked very calm and relaxed. Not as hot as this morning. It's like crazy people attacking me,”.
With all the awkwardness I've been through, I told Julia there's nothing I've covered up. Right now, I need someone to help me think. And I can't think of any of this myself. I just need someone to listen to my heart.
“Any. If you've met, why is it only now that the woman is noisily?” julia analyzed it.
I flicked my shoulders and looked Julia in the eye, as if we were looking for answers in a pair of eyes. “Trus have you talked to Dave?”
“I just asked him a few questions. At first I thought Dave was cheating and playing behind my back. But on the way here I remember the woman's words saying that I was her husband's temptress. That means I'm Dave's mistress, not that woman. And it makes me even sicker, Jul,” I complained.
“Job Lisa ...” Julia hugged me back. And this time my tears just fell.
“Crying. Wrap everything. That way you will feel calmer,” he added again.
For some time, only the sound of my crying bounced around in Julia's apartment room. He let me cry again so much that I didn't feel like the time was ten o'clock at night. I asked Julia to take me home to my apartment.
“But 'can you say, your bag is the same Dave, right? How to open your room door?”
“I can ask for his spare key with the owner of that apartment.”
“His owner lives there?”
I nodded steadily. “Yes, the room is close to my room. And she's always in her room if it's been a night like this.”
I smiled then Julia immediately went inside her room to change her clothes. Julia never wore clothes that were careless if she came out of this apartment. Because he does not want to meet people he knows in a state of not dressing up. And I understand that.
“Come, it's okay 'right if Amelya comes?”
I shook my head. “Nothing. Let's go home you have temen.”
Not much we talked about along the way. Julia was busy answering a few questions from her brother Amelya. Whereas I prefer to be silent, cool with my own thoughts while paying attention to the street lights in front. Until finally we did not feel we arrived in the basement of my apartment building.
“Come, we accompany you to the top. Fear of the apartment owner is not there, ntar you are displaced here.”
I received an offer from Julia, and then we stepped into the elevator. Arriving at the destination floor, I immediately walked first through the door of my room to a door that was in the corner of the corridor.
Tok tok!
I knocked on that door a few times. Until the sound of the key is played.
Click! Click!
A woman appeared from behind the door, she looked beautiful and charming. Yes, he is the owner of this apartment building. His name is Athria, I remember his name. Especially now that he is smiling at me.
“Hai, sorry to interrupt those nights. I lost my room key. Do you have a backup key?” just polite.
When I first rented that apartment room, I was with om Reza also served by him. She is a good woman in my opinion. In the past, he had given me food several times as a sign of his introduction to me.
“Sure.” He looked behind me, probably wanting to see Julia and Amelya standing at my doorstep. “Wait a minute I'll get you.”
He went back into his room with the door he left open. I could see some fancy furniture inside. No less luxurious with the furniture I have in my room.
A few minutes later, he stood waiting at the door of his apartment room and suddenly appeared again with two keys in his hand. “Em, I forgot which key, let me try it myself. Can?” permission politely.
“Oh, yes of course you can. Sorry to trouble.” I feel uncomfortable for him.
Then he immediately entered the keys one by one and it turned out to be the second key that could open the door of my apartment room. “Thank you, once again sorry to trouble.”
“Nothing, absolutely no hassle. Anyway, I was also waiting for you to come home.”
Instantly I was flabbergasted to hear the sentence he had just uttered with his own mouth. I looked at Julia. My hair just stood up. It feels like being spied on.
“Oh, sorry. I mean, I'm not who you imagined me to be. I was waiting for you to come home because there was a man who came here and banged on the door of your room. Because I felt too noisy and afraid to disturb the other residents, then I decided to stop it.”
I was surprised by him even more. “Leaki?”
Athria nodded her head with certainty. Then reached into the pocket of his pajamas, handed me a business card. “This guy is here. He was looking for you and looked frustrated at the time.”
I bowed my head and read the name on the card. Dave Winston's. There is also an office address and mobile number there.
Spontaneously I gripped Athria's hand and said, “Please, I beg you. Don't call him, don't tell him if I've come home and been here.” I begged him.
Then Athria said her apology because she had earlier contacted Dave and told him about my current condition. Because he had already promised Dave to preach it if he saw me back.
I can't do anything anymore. After all that, I thanked Athria for giving me the spare key, and then she went back to her room. While Julia and also Amelya immediately say goodbye to me to go home.
“Already, don't think too much. If Dave comes here tonight, talk about everything. He must have reason and explanation. If it doesn't make sense to you, ask her for time alone. Didn't you run away also have an excuse?” Julia advised me.
That's right what Julia said. Everyone must have a reason. If I cannot understand for that reason, I have the right to decide what our relationship will be like next. I have to find the answer myself and I have to be mature.
After Julia and Amelya returned home, I locked the door and went into the room. Put yourself on the bed. Then looking at the ceiling of my room, thinking about what might happen later, if Dave is right tonight will come straight here, as soon as he gets word from Athria.
I exhaled many times while trying to calm my heart which was suddenly not because ever since Athria said, that she had informed Dave. How will I deal with it later?
In my mind, there are a lot of questions that I don't understand. Especially about Dave.
If the woman says I'm a seductress to her husband, does that mean Dave is her husband? Then the apartment, what is their residence? Why is Dave putting my picture in his room? Or is the apartment just a place to rest while with me?
My head really feels dizzy. I got back up from my bed, then stood up to the dresser and pulled out a drawer that held a few packs of cigarettes that had not yet been sealed. I took him a box with the lighter. Then open the balcony door.
I'm greedily breathing cold air tonight. Then take off the pack, start a cigarette and enjoy it. Forgetting for a moment the trouble that made my head throb for so long.
