Not my Husband

There Never Was

Dave did not reply as he stared silently at Alexa. Love at first sight? That right? There are a lot of questions on his mind.

As the night wore on, Dave now held the position of deputy director of his family-owned company. Why not join a company owned by the late Herry? It was because both her parents wanted to tie up the cooperation after the marriage.

He has three intelligent siblings, but he will be chosen as the heir to his family's company. For marrying Alexa who is the son of Fredric, the heir to the company owned by the late Herry, to merge the two big companies later, after they have children.

It's actually okay for Dave's parents to replace Sazi's marriage with Alexa, given that Sazi did not get any inheritance.

Today he and Alexa stepped into the room, Dave clenched his forehead, which was a little strange for him. Alexa, who despite being an overseas graduate, but has low grades, gets a directorial position in the company owned by the late Herry directly, without selection.

Odder still to him, some of the company documents and project planning that Alexa made once read, quite messy. But it can calm some tenders.

Dave sighed harshly, getting a reply to a message from the HRD manager of the company owned by the late Herry. A reply to his message asked about how Alexa could be directly accepted as a director five years ago.

Only one sentence was the reply from the HRD manager. 'Sazi, then the only daughter of the late Herry, pleaded with the CEO'.

Infest? Is this the bully nature of Sazi? Was he wrong all this time?

A couple who don't talk much. More silence, unlike the old days Alexa will be spoiled or complain to him. The wife who had her back, was wearing a nearly transparent nightgown. Not even wearing the upper underwear. Smiling read some notifications on his phone.

Then it began to rise, grabbing the knee-length jacket of the canal, as well as the wallet and car keys.

"Where is it going?" ask Dave to Alexa.

Alexa stopped her steps, walked up to Dave, kissed his lips at a glance."I have business, a client complains about proposals,"

"But not this late..." Dave looked into his eyes, holding his arm, searching for the truth about Mickey's words.

Alexa let go of Dave's hand, which was holding his arm, peeping his lips back."We've known each other for 7 years. You don't trust me? I just love you. Love without trust will not survive. We love each other I can't betray you,"

The words spoken from Alexa's lips made Dave speechless. Stare at Alexa who left her in the room alone.

Shutup? Dave recalled his words every time calming Sazi down. Hiding his relationship with Alexa. Did all that turn on him? I don't know...

Dave was just speechless, 2 and a half years this Sazi face is still often imagined. Strawberry brownies that he had bought somewhere, missed by him. Searching into multiple outlets does not find one that tastes the same.

A girl who knows what she likes without being asked. Tonight he was silent for some reason, a lot of things that disturbed his mind.

Unable to sleep at all, back to work on his office tasks busied himself. Until today's date on the documents it reads. Dave frowned, it was Sazi's birthday, which was always celebrated by the late Herry.

Until the age of 17, Dave remembered it because parties were always held. But it may be a long time, since Sazi's 18th birthday no one remembers him, because the late Herry who was in Singapore could not hold a party for his daughter.

None of Dave's birthdays are forgotten by Sazi. All always celebrated, every year brings strawberry brownies that he likes, as well as gifts for him.

Dave's hands clenched, his tears flowing. He never knew what Sazi liked. A tacky birthday celebration? But the taste of the cake was missed.

Maybe Sazi has some good in him. That was his supposition now in a softened heart. Perhaps he was too cruel to Sazi who noticed him.

His lips smiled, finally after three years Dave wanted to see Sazi as a childhood friend. A fella? even their relationship is now worse than a friend.

However, he now finds a reason to look back at the face of Sazi, whom he really misses. The woman who was just silent, hugged a painting with a blank look three years ago. A woman who was forcefully pulled into an ambulance to a mental hospital. With a puffy smell on his pants, the hair was disheveled without a smile at all.

By morning, Alexa had not returned home either, her phoncell number was inactive. This has often been the case, marriages that were originally due to something they called love, are now based solely on ego.

Dave needs Alexa to be considered by his family. And Alexa needs Dave a good-looking husband from an upper-class family.

Dave began styling his looks, spraying his body with perfume, wearing the best suit he had. The young man who slowly walked out of his room, stepped down the stairs.

Fredric stared at her."Where you going?"

"Get out, attend a friend's birthday. I'll be home this afternoon." Dave's answer was about to walk away.

"Have you asked Alexa for permission?" ask Fredric to his son-in-law.

Dave always breathes like this. Alexa who always goes home erratically is not at all reprimanded. And himself? Just one hour out without asking permission, Fredric would stare cynically at him.

Frederick stared intently at Dave who had started walking towards the garage. Take the car away. Afraid? Of course, don't want Dave out without Alexa's knowledge.

Knowing, Alexa is often in a relationship with her clients. Counseling daughter? It's been done by him, but Alexa quibbles, Dave won't know it. Had Alexa and Dave already had the offspring to cement his position, Fredric would not have been this anxious.

However, one health report he was hiding. Contraceptive drugs and narcotics that are often consumed by his daughter had an effect on fertility. Until now, Alexa would have had a hard time having offspring, something Dave did not know.

Weirdo? Really weird, Dave bought a birthday cake as well as a present for him. Only met once with patients with psychiatric disorders. But why does he look like this? Probably because I haven't seen Sazi in a long time.

Luxury car driving to Bakti mental hospital. Stopping in the hospital parking lot, his eyes peeked, there was a massive construction in the mental hospital that was not so big.

Invest or donate? Maybe that's what happened, Dave walked back to the reception desk. Carrying a box of medium-sized cakes, as well as a gift containing a neatly packed scarf, may be able to keep Sazi warm in the rainy season.

"Excuse me, the family of a patient named Sazi. What room is she in...?" ask Dave at the receptionist.

"Sorry, there's no patient named Sazi here." the receptionist, smiling at him. Following the orders of the shareholders of this hospital. Donors are expanding hospitals, even building new buildings.

"No patient named Sazi!? Could try checking again. He started being treated 3 years ago, so.." Dave's words were interrupted, the receptionist pretended to check on him again.

"I'm sorry, there's never been a patient named Sazi, I've checked back. You may have gotten the wrong information, because it was three years ago. Maybe the person you're looking for is entering another mental hospital." said the receptionist, smiling calmly.

Dave was silent for a moment, the woman disappeared? Never been here..."A sazi?" his mumbling dropped the cake he was carrying, now he realized he really missed it.

Today was her birthday, the wind was blowing on her skin, her beautiful look was completely emanated, it had been a few weeks, Rion took good care of her. Clean the skin, wear facial care products, sometimes order hair styling services for him.

Women who now wear light green mini dress. Still silent with a blank look.

Sit alone on a park bench, not a big house. But the resting house is quite comfortable. With several varieties of blue rose plants in the back yard.

Rion smiled after reading some of the company reports sent to him. Closing his laptop, walking closer to Sazi.

"You will soon be healed. It's your birthday. At once the day removes the bitter taste in your life. Sorry, I decided to change your memory so you wouldn't hurt yourself again.I love you.." he said kissing the back of Sazi's hand, which was still staring at a point.

"Master.." Someone lowered his head in respect.

"You said you could cure him in no time. Will changing her memory hurt her?" rion asked looking at a man wearing a black suit.

The man smiled,"Hikaru, who recommended me. I used to work for Hikaru. I can change the memory of sometimes manipulating it. It is illegal, but it can heal instantly. Side effects, if his memory returns, his psychiatric condition will be worse or can be cured permanently,"

"Give him attention, maybe his condition when his memory returns will be completely healed." he continued.

"Hypnotherapy should not go so far. It's illegal, but its capabilities can't be doubted. However, if after his memory regains his mental state..." Hikaru looked down in hesitation while still smiling oddly, staring at Rion.

Rion smiled."If his mental state worsens. I will spend my life taking care of her..."

The answer from the frog boy is the same as his father.

What about Fino's life now? The man opened a franchise business, selling a variety of foods that young people were interested in.

Having dozens of outlets, the cool old widower is himself who is not interested in a single woman. Staring at his son from afar who kissed the hand of the woman with the psychiatric disorder many times."Bucin.." his lips do not know themselves, until now still use a photo of his ex-wife as wallpaper phone.
