Love Will Bring You Back

Q2: 5 You Hurt me

If you can turn your disappointment and pain into strength, you win. If your pain and disappointment make you fall and your life is a mess, then you are a loser.

Henry hurried to the parking lot and he contacted Santika to ask her whereabouts. Santika, who is still working in his office in Kuningan, felt it was not strange if Henry suddenly picked him up.

When Henry arrives at the office lobby where Santika works, he sees her lover talking to one of his male friends. I don't think it's possible for Santika to be the woman Lily said she was. She was so graceful and her polite manner of dress and soft speech, impossible... He breathed rough, as Santika walked towards his car.

"Hi. honey, the tumben can pick me up, "Santika said as soon as she entered Henry's car. He kissed Henry's cheek with a sweet smile. Henry just smiled and continued the speed of his car towards Santika house in the area of Bukit Duri - East Jakarta. Curiosity makes Henry open a conversation with his lover.

"Tika.... do you know Josh ?"  Henry asked, keeping his eyes on the streets. But the tip of his eyes glanced to see the expression of his lover.

"Josh's... Where Josh, there are some friends of mine named Josh, Joshua and Josh ...

"Josh her husband Lily, my best friend who likes us to meet if there are activities rumpies.

"Yes knows donk... Don't we come to his wedding, why is he, Hen? Is the marriage in trouble?" Santika replied casually.

"The honest answer, tika .. I will listen from your version. I don't like to hear stories from either side..What extent is your relationship with Josh?"

"Henry.. I don't know Josh very well. I only knew him at Josh and Lily's wedding, and at the events you guys got together, this is what the hell, it's all about, you ask me that?"

Henry took a rough breath, he had already started to emotionally hear Santika's reply which he thought was lying. He had already seen the photos Lily had given him earlier.  It was not an ordinary relationship, because Santika was so tightly hugging Josh and was familiar in the neighborhood of Josh's friends that the soldier. Santika visits Josh to the Philippines. He had to hear the correct version of Santika.  He pulls out of his car and Henry feels all this has to stop if his girlfriend still doesn't tell him the truth.

"Acts... Look at me and tell me the truth about you and Josh!

"I don't know him, Henry, "Santika replied firmly and looked at Henry.

"What if I have proof of your closeness?

"You mean... You already know that ?"

"Yes, that's why I want to hear from you.

"All right.... But answer me first, who told you?" There's no way Josh told you, right? Josh can't possibly tell a story. he'll close it all down. I know what Josh's character is. He's like you who don't like unimportant conversation while it's not his business.

"Do you really know each other?"

"Henry's... Josh was my first love when I was in Junior High, but he never loved me. He just thought I was his friend, he was just a part of my past, so don't be jealous of Josh... he never loved me and Josh told me we only met and communicated during meetings at your activities. So why are you jealous of him?

"I don't think the story is like that, Tika.... is it true that Lily said, that I don't know you well?"

" What did you say?"  Henry replied in surprise and he pulled Santika's hand hard and full of energy.

"Henry, man,.. You hurt me, "Santika grimaced feeling the clutches of Henry's tight hands. Henry finally let go of the hand of the woman he loved so much. They looked at each other with emotion. There was no love in their sight. A look of anger and disappointment was very visible in Henry's eyes. Santika saw him and he was stunned to injure the man who had been so kind to him.

"Tell me the truth, what is your relationship with Josh.... Do you still love him?" Why do you want to be my lover if you don't love me. Why don't you be honest with me? The more you lie to me, the more you hurt me, Tika!"

"I love Josh, but that jerk chose your friend. I knew him first... she never thought I was special and just because of a Lily, she exposed my secret. I did love her, but I took it off. I learned to love you, Henry.... it's true I lied to you, but not entirely, I now love you, Henry... Josh it was just my fault in the past... So forget Josh, huh..?

"you caught up with him to the Philliphine right.. You slept with Josh's friends... And maybe even with Josh too?"

"You know too?'............H. ha.....Y...........Innocent Henry finally found out...

Santika's laughter surprised Henry and made Henry realize that he really did not recognize the woman who had been his lover for two years.  Henry gasped at the behavior of the woman who had once been considered perfect and polite. This woman really is a different woman. Henry was still glued to his seat and unable to speak.

Santika who saw Henry's expression, immediately he tidied up the bag and prepared to go down and end the relationship with this innocent man.

"Well let me tell you everything, so that you may be more surprised about who I am. Maybe after this we end...   At first I thought we were going to get married and live happily, like any other couple.... Henry, you could be a place in my different world and I would be a plain woman and the public only knows me as Santika the wife of an innocent man named Henry.... I didn't expect Josh to open my disgrace to his wife, I thought I knew Josh very well who was very good at closing my secrets.  ........   I did follow Josh to the Philippines while he was on duty there. I did know some of Josh's friends because a lot of the one I went to school with... Until there's news that Josh is going to marry Lily, I'm mad at him and follow him there.... Josh still rejected me, Henry even he kicked me out of their barracks.  That night I met one of his commanders and accompanied him there, it turned out that Josh and his friends caught me and kicked me out..... That night I was flown to Jakarta. I'm hurt, but Josh once promised he'd shut my secret down in Philiphina...

"Josh didn't tell Lily about it. He found out from your photos at the barracks and Lily found out for herself but not from Josh... Let's go home, if I had heard first from you maybe our relationship wasn't like this.... I'll talk to Josh first, tika...

"No need, we broke up. I don't want you to take me home. We've had enough of it to end here. Thank you for filling my days, no need to find out from Josh.... I never loved you, Henry. Good night and please don't connect with each other anymore.

Santika immediately got out of the car and stepped out of Henry's car. His steps were steady and he immediately stopped a blue taxi car that happened to pass by. Henry just watched with a fixation. He was surprised by the facts he had just learned.  He was fooled by a beautiful woman who thought she was graceful and polite.  He really does not know his girlfriend.

Henry only realized when the Taxi Car that Santika was riding left him. He followed the taxi until he entered the housing of Santika's house. When making sure that Santika entered the house without looking at Henry's car that followed along the way, Henry left the mansion with a wounded heart. Santika entered his house in shaky steps, when he closed the door of his house, he looked outside and made sure Henry's car passed leaving his house. Injured just like Henry. Blame Santika for wanting to change?

Henry still regretted the beautiful woman who had filled his heart for several years, right many say Henry was lucky to find a beautiful lover considering he was not handsome, and categorized as ordinary. The work is hefty and can be said to be quite well established, just because he is simple, blame him for being played with. Is it wrong that he is not willing to accept the woman's decision.

Sometimes not everything you need to know, Henry.  Wh why? This is so hurt... Its Hurt !
