Bound of Lies

Your Love

Happy reading & ''Double

Now they sit facing each other in silence while waiting for his order that has not come.

"So you wanted to collect something from me. What is Bi ?" Renata asked unconsciously.

Jamie smiled wryly at that.

"It seems I don't have to charge I already know the answer," replied Jamie's doctor with a disappointed face.

Jamie intends to charge Renata for his past love statement but he realizes there is not the slightest gap for him to enter Renata's heart.

"Huh ?" Renata furrowed his brows not understanding.

"Are you Renata ? You always call me Bi ?"  Jamie asked with a wry smile. A smile that represented his heart's current feelings.

"Oh yeah ? I'm sorry Jamie.... Ha. It's just that Fabian is having a little trouble with the police and Bima's doctor so I'm worried about him." Renata's reply did not lie but Fabian's Missing statement also affected him.

"Why should I wait for an answer from someone who doesn't care about me" Jamie's inner heart that feels so painful accepts the fact that the woman he loves actually loves someone else, not her.

Jamie smiled stifledly, laughing at himself.

"Is there not a little place in your heart for me to stay ?" Jamie asked the doctor, bringing Renata's hand into his hand.

Renata is shocked by the question Jamie asked.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry Jamie... But I always thought of you as just a friend" Renata replied, pulling her hand from Jamie's.

"Did our kiss mean nothing to you then ?"

Renata felt a heat wave hit her face when Jamie asked that.

"I even feel guilty for having done that," Renata replied bowed.

"Feel guilt to Fabian ?"

Renata nodded his head in response.

"It's what always scares me if Fabian finds out," Renata said as she splashed clear water on her eye patch. She had truly regretted doing so even more so she was still Fabian's wife when she did that.

"It'll be our secret then." Jamie was full of disappointment.

"I'm sorry Jamie. I consider you as a friend nothing more. You're a good-natured person who's going to get a good woman anyway and what happened back then was my fault,"

"Don't Fabian betray you? Don't you feel disappointed Re ?" Jamie asked who was still looking for a way to enter Renata's heart.

"Yes Fabian has lied to me, of course as an ordinary woman I am disappointed. But after officially parting with him made me realize that my love overcame disappointment. How I lost her after the breakup happened" Renata replied in between tears.

Jamie understands and understands what Renata feels, he also experiences the same thing. So lost when his late wife left him for good. What Renata says is also true, meaning that someone will feel when he has left us.

"Fortunate yourself for still being able to get her back,"

"Huh ?" Renata asked not understanding.

"Yes you can still get Fabian back, there's still a chance to improve everything,"

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry Jamie made you wait and hope, but I really didn't mean to do that" Renata said, venturing into Jamie's hand.

"Don't apologize, 'cause I'm the guilty one. Guilty of continuing to hope for your love when it was clear you loved Fabian not me,"

Jamie said with a forced smile.

Silent for a while...

"Hopefully you and Fabian can get back together and be happy. Celia will be happy, too,"

"You too... May you be happy Jamie" Renata said sobbing.

Renata was about to leave because there seemed to be nothing to talk about anymore, but Jamie's hand restrained his arm to leave.

"Don't go, just stay a little while, accompany me to dinner. Maybe this will be the last time we meet just the two."

"Jamie..." Lirih Renata's.

"We'll always be friends with Re. Follow me as a friend." Jamie insisted Renata stay.

Renata said they enjoyed dinner in silence, Jamie spoke occasionally and was briefly responded to by Renata. 

Renata feels guilty and sad to have Jamie disappointed because Jamie is a very good person, but his heart and feelings are unruly. His heart had been tethered only to Fabian.

"May you be happy" said Jamie as he led Renata to her door.

"You too... May you meet someone who will love you sincerely and make you happy" Renata said sincerely.

"Thank you, I'm welcome home, Re,"

Renata nods her head and then Jamie walks away from Renata towards her parked car.

Renata enters her home when Jamie's car has left.

"Not sleeping, dear ?" Renata asks Celia who is still watching TV when time has shown almost 10 p.m.

"I'm waiting for Daddy to call, Daddy didn't call me yesterday" Celia replied with a sad face.

Renata immediately retrieved the flat object from her shoulder bag. He changed his profile to a silent model.

Sure enough there were some calls from Fabian as well as chat messages he received.

Fabian: Re, where are you ?

Renata bit her lower lip in dismay. What did he have to say to Fabian?

Renata sat himself down near Celia and was still thinking what she should say.

Renata's fingers began to type words.

Renata: sorry Bi, I just came home to dinner with a friend.

It didn't take long, Fabian immediately replied to the message.

Fabian: dinner ?

Not yet Renata wrote his chat reply, but Fabian first made a video call. Instantly Fabian's tired face filled the screen of his phone. Can Renata see Fabian still wearing his work shirt rolled up to the elbow.

Renata: you just came home Bi ?

Fabian: yes, it was from the police station I went back to the office because a lot of work was delayed. Sorry I rarely call and text.

Renata: it's okay Bi, we know.

Fabian: Is Celia there ?

Renata: there, he's always waiting for you

And Renata handed the flat object to his son.

Celia seemed enthusiastic about receiving the video call, occasionally heard a crisp laugh Celia who was talking to her Daddy.

After a few minutes of talking to Fabian, Celia handed the flat object back to Renata.

Fabian: you have dinner who's Re ?

There was anxiety on Fabian's face when he asked that.

Renata: Jamie, he's taking me to dinner.

Renata replied, although it might cause pain but telling the truth isn't it better ?

Fabian : Oh's...

Fabian's face was filled with disappointment.

Renata: Nothing happen Bi, just eat .

Fabian: its ok, I end first yes want to wash your face and change clothes. Night Re's..

Renata: yes, happy resting Bi.

Fabian was eager to protest his jealousy but his relationship with Renata who was still gray made Fabian undo his intentions.

***

The time has come so fast, the weekend has come. Celia's time to spend time with her Daddy Fabian.

Renata arrives at her house when it turns dark.

"Bi, Celia's been picked up ?" Ask bi Sumi who has returned from her hometown.

"Already Ma'am, this afternoon" replied bi Sumi who was cooking for dinner in the kitchen.

Disappointment infiltrated Renata's heart because he missed the opportunity to meet Fabian. After a hot kiss that time Renata felt her feelings hanged Fabian.

Renata cleans herself and changes clothes with her home dress. Trying to spend time watching TV but his heart and mind are so messed up.

Shortly a doorbell rang a sign of someone outside his house.

"Bie... Bi Sumi please open the door," Renata said with a slightly raised tone of voice but it seemed Bi Sumi did not hear it.

With a lazy step Renata walked towards the door and opened it.

There stood a man who lately filled his heart and mind with a bouquet of white roses decorated with Forget Me Not flowers in his hands.

"I love you Re... Love is so much with you...

Let me pursue your love again. This time in the right way.

No lies, no secrets...

Just me and all my love for you..." Speak to the man with his loving and reassuring gaze.
