DREAM OF THE SHADOW

CHAPTER 35

"What's? I've been here a week?" Yuna's voice was already a little energetic the next day. After the accident, all he remembered was a strange dream before he came to his senses. And it's been seven days. But anyway, he felt very grateful to be able to open his eyes again.

"Yes. There are actually two police officers outside. They wanted to see you to ask you some questions about the accident. I've already rejected it, but they asked me to ask about your willingness first." Shua explained.

"It's okay, honey. I'm pretty healthy. Just answering a few questions I don't think it's hard." Shua looked at Yuna's face that was not as pale as yesterday and agreed. It was not long before two men wearing civilian clothes came in.

"Good afternoon Mother Yuna, I am Herman, the police officer who handled your accident case" said a man whose stature was darker and taller than his colleague.

"Corn, Sir. Can I help you?"

"Just want to know the chronology of your accident. At the time of the incident, may I know where and where you are traveling from?" tanyakanya. Yuna tried to remember the incident. Adits. Dinner with Adit and Becca. Damnit. He was so upset to remember it.

"I am from Nusantara Pak restaurant. I met my co-worker Mr. Aditya and his wife Rebecca. After that I intend to go home." Yuna glanced at Joshua and the man looked surprised to hear that.

"Then what was the cause of the accident you had?" ask again.

"I think I'm tired sir. All I remember is I hit a big tree." he explained.

"Oh, didn't anyone else cause your accident?"

"Looks I don't."

"I checked the CTF. There were no surveillance cameras there and no witnesses. We also found no evidence of any other vehicles around Mom's car."

"The road was indeed quite lonely at that time. But I remember once I didn't have a bump with another vehicle."

"So this was purely a single accident?" The police made sure again.

"Yes sir."

"All right then. We need Mom's autograph and Mr. Joshua here for the chronological news." Herman's somewhat stocky colleague presented a document that must be signed. After that they came out and left the couple.

"Adith? Really? How come you didn't tell him you were gonna see him that night?" shua asked as she sat next to Yuna who was leaning on her bed that was raised 30 degrees.

"I'll tell you about it when I get back from there, baby. It turns out I haven't been home yet." Yuna said sadly.

"All right, it's okay. You don't have to tell it now. He called me this morning to ask how you were doing. Maybe he'll be here soon." Shua peeped her forehead.

"If he comes, I'll pretend to be asleep. You have to help me. I don't want to talk to him."

"Well if that's what you want. Or you should really sleep now. You have to rest a lot, baby. Go sleep. I will also continue my work." said Shua while slightly lowering Yuna's bed rest. He returns to his desk after seeing Yuna's eyes closed.

"Lian, please email to me now the responsibility of the Peninsula event yesterday yes." Shua called her secretary.

"......"

"Devi? Devina the Surabaya?" tanyanya's confused.

"......"

"So you said I was here again?"

"......"

"Yes it's okay. I have been waiting for the email. Thank you." Thank you." Joshua ended the call.

Shua was a little confused by Devi's purpose in looking for her at the office earlier. They last met in Surabaya yesterday. After Yuna returns home to the hotel leaving the party, Devi always clings to her. Until finally Devi again expressed her feelings in the parking lot.

"Jo, I'm sure you already know that. I'm in love with you Jo. Please give me a chance to get to know you more closely." Devi was not shy anymore to hold Joshua's hand, but Joshua immediately took it off.

"Look Devi, my relationship with Yuna you already know. I am serious about him because I love him. There is no room for another woman to come to my heart. I'm sorry, but I have to be honest for our good. I don't want to give you any hope." Shua explained.

"But Jo, if you want to get to know me more closely, I'm sure you'd like me better than Yuna." whined Devi as if she didn't want to let Joshua go from there.

Tok.dok...

Shua sees Adit emerge from behind the door carrying a bouquet of flowers and a basket of fruit.

"You're still here Jo?" The first sentence that came from his lips.

"Yes. Yuna is sleeping." The answer. Adit immediately approached Yuna and stroked her head, making Joshua who was four meters away from her feel uncomfortable with the sight.

"Adit, I want to talk to you. Come here." Come here." Joshua invited Adit to sit on the sofa in front of his desk.

"It just so happens that there's something I want to talk about too." Adit can't wait to tell Joshua about his plans.

"Look..." Joshua started.

"I appreciate your past with Yuna even though it's not something to be proud of. Now I'm sure you already know that Yuna and I are in a relationship. A serious relationship. I hope you can appreciate that and not do things that make us a little uncomfortable." Shua was honest about how she felt.

"alright. I'll tell you something. Yuna still loves me." Adit said confidently.

"Haha...On what basis did you say that?" Shua did not expect what Adit said.

"That's the truth Jo. I'm saying this for your own good. You've only been used as his escape from me all along."

"Ok, Yuna told you herself?"

"I heard it from Devi. He told me the details. You also know a little about it. Look, I've also asked Yuna to come back with me." said Adit casually.

"You bastard!" Joshua started to get emotional.

"And I remember rejecting it." Yuna exerted her strength so that her voice could be heard by the two men.

"Darling, why are you awake?" Shua precedes Adit to Yuna.

"I haven't slept yet, just closed my eyes" he replied.

"Adit, I reiterate once again. I'm not going back to you. It will never! And stop dreaming I still love you. My feelings were dead when I saw you cheating. Die up! And everything you hear from Devi, it's just bullshit. I'm sure I never said that. Even in my subconscious, I don't want to remember you anymore." Yuna spoke with a slight gasp.

"You're okay? Don't force it!" Shua calmed him.

"Yeah Yuna, you better rest first. We'll talk about it next time." Adit looked a little shocked by what the woman said earlier.

"Nothing next time Adit. This is my last warning. Don't disturb my relationship with Shua. L loved her. Go!" Adit fell silent and walked out of the room.

"Huffa-hh.." Yuna took a deep breath and exhaled her, trying to calm her heart.

"Are you ok?" Shua sat down next to Yuna and rubbed her palms gently. Yuna simply nodded while looking at Shua inside.

"Can I hear it again? Your last words?" ask Shua.

"Go?" Repeated Yuna.

"Haha...Nope. Before that." Yuna actually knew what Shua meant, but she was ashamed to say it again. Is he ashamed or unsure? That word requires responsibility. And now Yuna was ready to accept the consequences.

"I love you Joshua Austin William." Yuna could not believe that she finally expressed her feelings.

"I love you more Yuna Sakura." replied Shua.

Shua did not expect what she heard. He thought he would hear that statement for a year, or even two years. It turns out the problem with Adit was making the universe side with him. The love he's been waiting for since white gray. The unconditional love that always made her enjoy the sunset and wait for her to rise the next day. Until finally he can enjoy the beauty of twilight with him who became real.
