The Journey and Destiny of Love

Chapter 42 - Knowing the Truth

The phone he was holding almost fell down when his eyes locked on the figure who was looking at him. The handsome-faced man was equally gasped when he saw the woman he had been desperately looking for several days staring at him and most surprised when he realized that the girl was wearing a wedding kebaya.

“Rio,” with trembling lips, Anin mentioned the man who was still amazed looking at her.

“Anin,” Rio walked hastily towards the woman.

They only looked when the distance left only a few tens of centimeters between them. It seems that the man is trying to control himself. Several times taking a deep breath, his sharp eyes made Anin only able to duck without daring to reply.

“Can talk for a while Nin,” said Rio still staring fixedly, the girl raised her head. Not yet had he given an answer, suddenly a voice that he was very familiar with appeared from behind Rio.

“Darling, look,” Faisal's speech was not complete when the right man in front of his future wife turned his head and faced him. The drink he lifted was slowly lowered while trying to raise his heart if all would be well.

“Oh so you,” one corner of Mario's lips lifted, and with a cynical look he intimidated Faisal. But the man who had been a few years older than him immediately reciprocated Mario's treatment of him.

“Ya, why?” Faisal nudged Mario's shoulder and passed him, his hand immediately clutching his girl's waist into his arms.

“Anin, can we talk, you owe me an explanation for all of this,” Rio looked back at the woman he once was and still filled the recesses of his heart until that second.

“What should I explain, instead of you alone starting it all?” The words from Anindita made Mario frown.

“It seems like there is a misunderstanding going on, I just want to straighten out something even though it can not change everything but at least you should know, if until this moment you are still the same for me as before,” Mario's speech weakens and tries to hide the pain of his heart.

Anindita was silent for a while, she was still down. Without giving an answer, he turned around and re-entered the changing room. Sierra followed him. Faisal is now intimidating Mario. He squinted his eyes and raised one corner of his lips.

“He no longer wants to talk to you, what are you still here for,” Faisal's cynical remarks.

“I won't leave before talking to him,” Mario insists, however he still has to straighten things out. Including knowing the reason, why the girl chose another man and disappeared from her life.

“You!” Faisal looked furious, his hands raised the collar of Mario's shirt with large rounded eyes. He didn't like someone teasing his possessions, let alone that it was the person he loved so much.

“Bang, stop.” Anindita's voice made the focus of the two men switch, it was seen that the girl had put back her usual clothes and removed the bride kebaya that had been tried.

“Honey,” Faisal's voice weakened.

“Let me talk to her for a while Bang,” said the girl while glancing at Mario.

“Rio, we should find a place, not attract attention here,” Anin stepped before the man out of the boutique.

“Darling,” Faisal tries to stop his girl's growing distant steps. While Mario brushed off the rough arm of Faisal who was still holding the collar of his shirt. The man turned his body and followed Anindita who had taken several steps in front of him. Just now Faisal was about to follow them, but someone's hand was holding his shoulder.

“Kak Fay, where are you going? who's Rio?” Sierra's figuring out something.

“You followed them, he,” his sentence paused a few seconds.

“He was the man Anin loved a long time ago,”.

“Oh, so the one he had been looking for was Kak Anin, lucky to be Kak Anin loved by good people like them.” It doesn't feel like Sierra muttered to himself.

“Let them Brother, give time to them,” Sierra's arm restrains Faisal who has stepped up to leave him. Faisal stopped, the drink he was carrying was thrown at random. His hands rattled his hair in annoyance, he dropped himself on the waiting chair and looked pusher ahead.

“Huh,” was just an annoyed grunt that was followed by several long breaths, before finally the man subconsciously spoke to whom.

“I love you too much, how about your heart still has her?” He murmured while raising his head as if dispelling clear liquid that suddenly stagnated in both of his eyelids. Sierra only looked at him with pity, only the first time he saw the fragile side of someone who was still in his heart until that day. Someone whose heart has been anchored to another woman and is about to get married, but whether stupid or indeed like that love, he still cannot let go of that feeling completely.

“Anin,” Rio quickened his pace and lined up Anindita.

“We chat there only,” Anin pointed to one of the foodcourt that looks a bit quiet. Mario just followed the steps of the woman with a raging feeling.

“Mba, Mas pesen what?” a servant approached him.

“Teh warm lemon,” say they simultaneously. The waiter stared in amazement at the couple's cohesiveness, while Anindita tried to take her eyes elsewhere as Mario smiled at her.

“Enhance Mba, Mas?” the waiter asked again, this time there was a pause before Anindita finally replied when the man in front of her was just silent.

“French fries only Mba one serving,” said Anin because it is not good if only order a drink only.

“Good Ma'am, awaited yes.” The waiter passed leaving the two of them in an unusually awkward atmosphere.

“What's up?” Anin stopped because her words coincided back with the man in front of her.

“Why?” Mario stopped not continuing his words.

“You first,” They say it again together adding an increasingly awkward atmosphere.

“This is Mba, Mas the order.” The waiter came with their order and broke the silence.

“Thank you,” again they compactly say that makes the waiter smile and tease him.

“Newly soan ya Mba, kompak bener,” he said smiling while then passed when there was no confirmation from his guest.

“Anin, can you explain why all this happened, are you really not able to wait for me?” Mario started the conversation after a few seconds of silence.

“You think I don't know what you're doing there?” Said Anin while swallowing her saliva.

“Which I sell?” Mario frowned while staring asking for more explanation from his woman.

“You don't have to pretend anymore Rio, you think I don't know your relationship with Luna, your friendly photos, your togetherness with her?” said Anin with a tone full of emotion scar marks in his heart really has not healed.

“Where can you conclude everything like that? why didn't you ask me?” Spontaneously Rio grasped Anindita's arm located on the table.

“Do you think I'm Rio's stupid, so much of your affection is on all those women's social media accounts, and I can still think everything's okay?” Anin could not resist the puddles of tears that had burst forth.
