Friend Bed

Tragic Accident

Maya's daydreams then dispersed upon hearing Reni's rough breathing. He then continued his words back. "And unfortunately I only learned the story between you in the days leading up to the Queen's and the man's wedding. When I knew the true story between you, I already felt a bad feeling, and my hunch turned out to be true. Queen died on her wedding day, this was all because of what she did herself, she forced her way too much, which is why I'm really apologizing to you, even though I know it's too late."

Reni then clasped Maya's hand back. "Maya, I'm sorry I just said this now. After Queen died, I was devastated and could only muster the courage to tell you all this now. And, one of the reasons I just told you all this was also because after Queen's death, her ex-husband was devastated too. Even their families decided to live abroad for the past year to heal the wounds and traumas felt by the man. However, a few days ago Queen's ex-husband returned to Indonesia, which is why I told you all this, Maya. I hope that by telling you all this, I can make things right for all the wrongs my daughter has done, and I will bring you two together, maybe that's all I can do to make up for Queen's mistakes."

"Tante, he must be very loving, Queen. So, auntie doesn't have to do any of that."

"But I'm not sure she still loves my daughter if she knows all the truth about the past between you."

"Tante, may I see the wedding photo of Queen and the man?"

"Of course, the aunt still keeps their wedding photos" Reni replied. He then went into his house and took a story book and gave it to Maya.

"That's their wedding photos, at that time Queen did look very weak," said Reni while giving a story book to Maya.

Maya then took the story book and slowly opened it. However, he had just opened the first page of the story book, his heart now felt so torn apart when he saw a man who was no stranger to him was saying the qabul ijab beside Queen.

"A.. Her.. She?" asked Maya in a stifled voice while pointing at a man in the photo.

"Yes, he's the man you loved first. His name is Vansh, maybe you're a little surprised by the change in the shape of his face because after the accident, he did have plastic surgery because there were some parts of his facial structure that were damaged. So, maybe if you meet her right now, you don't recognize her if she's your past love, Maya."

'Cold Lord, cold master turned out to be my knight? The man I've missed for years. The man who saved me in that tragic accident? The accident that made him lose some of his memory and damaged the structure of his face? And stupid me and my coward because after that incident I could only run while carrying his pendant that fell while saving me? Oh my God, is this the answer to my question of the destiny I have to go through? Then is it worth my wish because we are so different?' maya's murmuring in the heart.

...***...

Vansh stood on the balcony of Sharen's room, staring at a letter in his hand. Slowly, he read the letter back. 'Queen, muttered Vansh.'

Brother Vansh, my dear husband. I wanted to apologize to you first, brother. I know, you love me so much and you also know I love you so much. It even loved you so much that it blinded me and lost my mind.

Brother Vansh, I'm actually not as good as you think because I've kept a big lie. In fact, if you know the lies I've done to you, I'm not sure you can still love me because these lies are actually the very foundation of our relationship. I should have realized from the beginning that a relationship that begins with a lie will never end happily, and maybe this is the destiny that I have to live, we have lived a long relationship, he said, and on the eve of our marriage, I was suffering from a deadly disease like this, and I've been conscious ever since. I've made such a big mistake, but unfortunately I'm too cowardly and so timid to tell you all that.

Brother Vansh, when I'm gone. Please ask the truth to Mama. A truth to the secret I've been covering from you all along, and when you know that truth, you can hate me, but I ask, please keep a little space in your heart for me.

^^^Queen^^^

Vansh then closed the letter with a heart so sliced. 'I have to go to the Queen's house as soon as possible, I can't delay this anymore. I need to quickly find out the truth and what secrets Queen has actually hidden from me? Does this have anything to do with our past? Does this have anything to do with the tragic accident I've had?' mumbling Vansh. He then rubbed his face violently, then left Sharen's room.
