"Since the first time we met."
"You mean, at the hotel. No way, you were under the influence of drugs back then."
"I'm not lying Honey, even under the influence of drugs, usually I'll never touch another woman. Because at that time I could not forget the women in the past" explained Ansel.
"Lona?"
"Yes. But, I really forgot about it when I knew you."
"Because what? Because are you able to forget it because of me?" Ask Lisha quickly.
"Yes, because I love you, baby. And the love I feel for you, it's many times deeper than the love I have for Lona. I'm just too obsessed with the ship" Ansel kept trying to convince Lisha.
"What did you do wrong to regret when you were left behind by him?"
Ansel was speechless, hearing Lisha's words made him remember something he had long forgotten all along. The reason Lona cut ties with her is—
"Ansel! What are you thinking?" Lisha asked in surprise with the look on Ansel's face that suddenly paled.
"Ah, there's nothing, dear," Ansel replied looking unsettled.
"Darling, already, yes. It is my past and you are my future. I've long since forgotten that past," Ansel advances his face to kiss Lisha's lips. However, Lisha shifted her face until what Ansel smelled was only Lisha's hair.
"Darling," called Ansel softly hoping Lisha would not be angry with him.
"There's something you're hiding from me. A Husband who is not open to his wife is a cowardly man who has no self-esteem. I was wrong, it turns out that you haven't completely changed," Lisha broke away from Ansel's support, grabbed the blanket, turned her back to Ansel.
"Honey," Ansel reached out her hand to hug Lisha, but quickly Lisha tepis, making Ansel scoop her face rough. And in the end chose to give Lisha time to calm down.
Meanwhile, Lisha again sobbed in disappointment with Ansel who could not be honest with her. "Am I wrong for forgiving her too soon" Lisha said in her heart.
Due to exhaustion, Lisha fell asleep first. While Ansel was still awake because he kept thinking about one thing related to another.
Ansel turned his body to look at Lisha's back who was behind him. Ansel reached out his hand slowly, hugging Lisha so carefully that in the end Ansel managed to hug Lisha from behind.
Right after embracing Lisha, her agitated heart instantly became calm, as if all the burdens she had on her mind were gone. That's what Ansel believes he really loves Lisha. The feeling of security and comfort when he was next to Lisha, was a feeling he did not find in any other woman, not even Lona. Ansel was very sure that he really loved Lisha and not just because of pity let alone obsess.
"I'm sorry Lisha, you promised to be by my side no matter what. I beg you to keep that promise because I don't want to lose you" Ansel said gently, then closed his eyes forcibly.
Lisha who turned out to be just pretending to be asleep is now frightened when she hears Ansel's words. "What are you hiding from me, Ansel? Why do you keep too many secrets? It scares me, afraid we won't be together even if we love each other."
