That Cute Woman is my wife

Chapters. 44. Alex's Explanation.

Alex knocks on Javier's apartment door, feeling no response, the knock turned into a bang hard enough that the person in the apartment opened the door and Javier looked with a face like someone who was not taken care of.

"Hey, hello bro. Comein...". Javier said he let Alex in laughing drunk and holding his drinking glass. Yes, the man is doing his drinking. Every day Javier drank the illicit drink as it had become a necessity of his days. That drink was far from him.

"Let's sit. Or do you want a drink?". Javier bargained as if to be relaxed, but his gestures said another.

"Alea's sick". Alex's remarks stopped Javier's activities that were pouring drinks for his hated friend.

"Want to use ice cubes or just go straight?". Javier said as if ignoring Alex's words and continued pouring drinks in a glass that had stopped for a while.

"Javier!". Jerk Alex. The man lost his temper and ended up yelling at the drunk-looking man.

"So your attitude!. It's my house!". Reply Javier is no less angry than Alex.

"Javier, listen to me carefully, what you're doing is not right. You just misunderstood, Vir". Alex said in a voice that began to soften. He tried to convince his friend.

"Hm". Javier smiled wryly before finally drinking the rest of the drink until it ran out and put the glass on the table.

"Are you here just to say that?". Javier asked with a flat face. "If he's better you go home. I don't want to hear anything about that woman!". Then he looked at Alex's face without looking. Javier was like hiding the look on his own face when he said the word 'Woman'.

"Do you love her?". Alex's question managed to make Javier turn to her with a sharp look. "You don't have to answer, your face has said everything". Then he continued with a mocking smile.

"Go away. I don't want to talk about anything, anything else about that mura*an woman". Javier said casually but with great emphasis, and it made Alex angry. Up-to-date

Bugs...

Alex could not hold back his anger anymore, for him enough his best friend was acting up.

"You-you-".

Javier pulls one of Alex's crusts so the two stare at each other with murderous gazes.

"What makes you angry at me?. Are you jealous?. Don't you love him?. Then what makes you angry?". That sentence of questions struck Javier's soul. His heart felt pinched with the words of his friend. Javier took off Alex's shirt and turned his face in any direction, he did not want Alex to look into his eyes that seemed to be hiding something.

"Go". Speak with a voice that begins to soften.

"All right, I'm going. But before I go listen I'm fine". Alex said as he approached Javier and stood before him. "Alea's not okay. He was sick, not only physically, but his heart was also broken because someone had broken his heart". He continued before finally leaving Javier who looked surprised to hear the words of his best friend. He was still digesting one by one Alex said, until he realized that he was living alone in that place.

"What does Alex mean?". Javier said as if thinking to interpret the meaning of the words of his best friend. Javier's eyes were round like he understood something and he entered the room to pick up the car keys on the nightstand to catch up with Alex who had left and asked for an explanation. But when he took the key, a paper fell to the floor to stop his steps that already wanted to leave.

Javier grabbed the stamp paper, and read it. It turned out that the paper was a letter from Airin that Alex had given him a few months ago. But at that time Javier had not read the contents of Airin's letter until he put it on the nightstand for months.

*For Javier.

How are you, Vir?. I think you're okay even without me. I want to apologize to you for what happened. I know I was wrong, and I don't deserve your forgiveness. But know it, Vir. I did it all because I was really confused about what happened to our relationship. You stay away, ignore me, avoid every topic of marriage. Until I met someone who offered me comfort. I don't blame you for this, I'm wrong. I shouldn't falter, but I'm too fragile and naive to expect more from you.

Javier...

I'm just a weak woman who needs your attention. But you're too far away for me to reach. Until I was lulled by the comfort provided by Aditya. The comfort you never offered me. Weddings...

Well, I did marry him. Even that was known to Mami and Papi, but you don't blame them, I forbid them not to tell you, because I know, you're gonna get hurt.

Javier...

I'm going to get out of your life. Live your life well now. Don't waste a woman willing to spend the rest of her life for you to get your attention and love. Don't make him wait too long, if it happens then, you won't get anything.

That woman is a weakling, Vir. If you offer her love, she will give her life for you.

Greetings from me.

Airin Training*.

Javier sat down weakly after reading the contents of the letter from his former lover. It's like understanding something,

"I have to make sure of something. Yeah, gotta!". Javier monologues and wipes away the tears that had escaped to his face.

****

At home, Alex has just finished his bath ritual and wears a black T-shirt and shorts. The man's face looked fresh after being exposed to warm water.

Ting tong's...

A bell rang, and Alex went into the living room and opened the door to see who was in the middle of the night.

Alex's forehead creased in almost fused when he saw his best friend Javier standing right in front of him with a face that is difficult to understand.

Javier entered Alex's apartment without waiting for his owner to enter. The man was still with his haughty attitude even though he was not fine.

"Explain to me what's really going on". Javier said without further ado, making Alex smile mockingly.

"Are you ready?".

"Quick say!. I don't have much time!.

"alright. You better sit down". Tell Alex and they sit side by side.

"I accidentally met Alea at the hotel. He was about to grab some food, but not because he wanted to introduce me to his best friend... Lina".

Alex's gaze blankly came forward and was silent for a moment like thinking of something when he mentioned the name 'Dina'.

"And I agree to Alea's invitation. We went to the room where Dina was, and without me knowing it was Alea's best friend Dina the woman I had been looking for". Next later. Alex's face turned sad as if regretting something. Alex turned to Javier and looked at the man who looked confused with a frown. Alex patted Javier on the shoulder with a smile.

"Trust Alea. He never betrayed you. She is a good and faithful woman. At that time he only returned my embrace because I accidentally hugged him, releasing my guilt on Dina. I was shocked to see the woman I loved so much right in front of my eyes. It turns out that all this time we lived in the same country, even the same city. But fate never brought us together, until the moment someone's jealous incident came". Alex said at length with a mocking smile as if insinuating his best friend.

"Is this you". Javier looks misbehaved with his best friend's innuendo, but still with his haughty attitude.

"So... Have you understood anything?". Alex asked with a full glance.

"Eitherway".

"Since when have you loved Alea?".

DEG...

Alex's question managed to make the brown-eyed man's heart beat. Just hearing his name alone his heart was already throbbing.

"I don't know since when. Everything just flows. Being around her made me feel comfortable, she was able to make me smile for a long time. I was busy looking for her attention, forgetting that I had fallen in love with her. I broke my own principles. But I didn't dare to reveal my feelings. I don't know if it's because of my painful past, but I'm too cowardly to admit it. I always deny my own feelings. Throwing it so far away, that I was completely dark-eyed when I saw her with the two of you in the hotel room". Javier said at length with a face full of regret. Empty look.
