Secretly Loving You's

Ch 76 - [POV Author] Recognition

"Arsha, there's something you need to know. It's about Abi and me." Nadya fell silent. He took a deep breath. Looking from his eyes like there was a big problem being harbored. Two clear rounders flowed down his white cheeks.

If Arsha doesn't remember wrong, it looks like she just saw Nadya crying. Arsha was very worried. He was afraid something might happen to Mr. Armand. Is Mr. Armand's condition so bad that to tell him Nadya is acting this strange? Arsha's mind became increasingly unsettled. He wanted to fly to see Mr. Armand in person. Nadya's very strange and awkward hand grip prevented him.

"I've known Abi since I was a kid. He was a quiet, stiff but attractive neighbor brother at one time. His reticence attracted me, ", Nadya continued. His face still remains. Arsha silence. He still did not understand the direction of Nadya's conversation. What does he need to know about Mr. Armand and Nadya? About their relationship so good? I don't know why Arsha doesn't want to know. Listening to their stories was tantamount to tearing his heart apart. But once again the foolish Arsha could not resist. Especially seeing Nadya crying in front of him.

"I know myself very well. I always want to be the center of attention. When there are people who are not interested, I will be more intense to pursue it. That's what I did to Abi." Nadya's eyes glared. Seemed sorry for what he did.

Arsha is still trying to guess what Nadya is trying to convey from her story. If it's about their happiness, Arsha better not hear it. His heart will hurt even more.

"I used every means to get Abi interested. But none of those ways worked. Abi still doesn't see me as a woman. He still sees me as just a neighbor's sister."

Nadya's words made Arsha look up. Then he looked at Nadya's bulging stomach, like wondering where the distended stomach came from if Armand wasn't interested in her. And there's a misalignment of the story here. Didn't Nadya say that Armand was so infatuated with her that the man impregnated her to tie her up? Why did the story turn out like this? Is there a turning point in their relationship?

"As long as I was by her side, I never saw her attracted to women. I think the chance to have it is much greater. You see this stomach? Yeah, it's one of my ways to tie him up. I used this pregnancy to keep her by my side." Nadya stroked her stomach. He smiled bitterly. One clear grain escaped again from the corner of his eye. "Until one day I saw that smile. Her eyes warmed and her smile grew every time she talked about you. My heart aches, disappointed, angry. I've been by her side all this time but never got that warmth. But you, the woman he just met just got it. I'm jealous and hurt."

"Pardon me ...."

"No, no. I should be the one apologizing. My sins are so much to you, Arsha .... I'm sorry ...." This time Nadya cried. Even those clear spots fell on his clothes. "I promise, after this, I'll never show up in front of you again."

A very ambiguous statement. Shouldn't that be coming out of Arsha's mouth? Why did Nadya say it?

"Arsha, actually Abi and I never got married. Never mind getting married, she sees me as a woman never."
