The Passion of Mr. Anderson

SUPPER

And they ...

Can only be silent in an agonizing silence. Melia returned to the room, while Anderson could only look back at the expanse of the high seas.

The food was cold again..Each of them did not touch their own food.

The servant could only moan again. Take the dishes to the kitchen until dusk is gone, then night comes back, and they again skip dinner.

Anderson didn't know until when this was over, the only thing that worried him was the woman behind that door. His head may be as hard as a rock, until the early hours of the morning ... Melia remained unmoved at her stance.

"You're going to continue like this ...?"

Melia remained silent. He simply looked at the open window without even looking at Anderson.

"Until you let me go."

Anderson took a deep breath.

"I beg .. Eat just a little." Perhaps Anderson had forgotten, that he had not eaten in the least.

"When do you want to get me out of here?"

No answer ... just a long cry.

Melia took a deep breath. He also realized that to the end no one would ever want to budge between them.

Melia then got up from the chair, walking away from Anderson.

"Come out, I just want a break."

As soon as Anderson looked towards Melia's face, Anderson immediately frowned, his face looked deathly pale, his lips quivering like ...

Only Anderson realized it, Anderson caught Melia until she staggered into his arms.

"Melia ... Melia ...! Melia!!!"

And again, Melia fell into the darkness.

***

The heat in Melia's body was still felt until Anderson was really worried. Anderson remained here, clasping that hand until Melia was completely awake.

Anderson had no intention of leaving Melia in the slightest, unwilling to turn away from her side even to this day.

Until finally Melia blinked, Melia seemed to sizzle softly as she began to feel an overwhelming groan.

"You're awake ...?"

And Melia was so shocked when she saw the infusion needle stuck in her hand.

"What is this ...?"

Anderson suddenly carried a tray filled with food and faced Melia.

"Eat it, or I'll force you again."

"..."

"Do you want to hurt yourself?"

But Melia kept shaking. Anderson didn't even know that Melia could be as hard as a rock as she is today.

"Mil ..."

"I want to go home."

"I told you I can't do it."

"I beg ..."

Anderson took a long breath.

"Regarding your words, I have thought about it .. and I have decided to keep you. Don't expect to get away from me, Melia .. because I'll never do it."

"You're so mean ..."

Anderson shakes.

"I never knew what an obsession you meant until many times. I only know that when I'm dying when I'm not with you, my heart beats very strongly when I'm next to you. The desire to have you, the desire to continue to be beside you, really tormenting me to the point of wanting to die."

"..."

"I never know what it's like to have love or obsession. Because I've never known what it's like because you're the first woman to make me this way. What I'm always worried about, I think about every second of my life."

"At first I even thought it would go away on its own, but it turned out that this feeling was coming and torturing me until I couldn't breathe anymore."

Melia squeezed her hand again.

"I'm in love with you, Mel .. and I'm sure that won't change until the end. Then, now suddenly you're asking me to let you go ...?"

Anderson quickly nodded.

"I'll never do it."

"I told you I don't want to be with you anymore ..."

Anderson then stared at the ring still attached to Melia's fingers.

"But you still have a heart for me, you're still wearing that ring ..."

Melia was shocked, staring at the ring she still wears today.

"At least the ring proves that you still love me."

"Omong empty."

"You used to take it off when you were angry about the fucking blacklist. But in the present situation you are still wearing it. I'm sure that you still believe that our relationship still has hope."

Melia shook her head hard.

"Whenever you reject it, you will also be restored the fact that you still love me."

The tears came back.

"I want to go home ..."

"Can you give me another chance?"

"Not after I knew the fact that you caused my parents to die."

"You always knew that I was tormented for years because of it."

Anderson came back closer and grabbed that face.

"You know, this is what I was most afraid of so I hid this fact for so long. I was a bastard back then, but no chance for me anymore?"

Does that mean Melia betrayed her own parents?

"Take me off,"

Melia let go of that hand. Makes Anderson hold his breath.

"Eat it, or I'll have the nurse put a hose down your throat so you can eat."

"Why are you always like this?!"

"Because I'm desperate to make you eat."

And Anderson never changed. Anderson remains a forger like that.

"You think I'm gonna give up?"

"Is this your form of protest for me to get you out of here?! I told you that would never happen."

Melia shakes.

"Count one to three and I'll do the reckless thing."

"Anderson!!!"

"One ..."

Melia clenched a strong hand.

"Two!"

"Fuck!"

"MYCHELLE!!!"

And another stranger came to bring me a box in white like a ...

"Geez!"

Melia was starting to get scared. He shook his head great.

"I'll eat ..."

"Good ..."

***

Melia's hands were still trembling when the person named Michelle was gone. Melia looked at the door Michelle had just passed with tears flowing back.

"Eat, you say you want to eat."

"I want to ask you one more time."

"..."

"When the accident happened, when you hit our car .. Why didn't you just help and leave?"

Anderson's lips twitched.

"Because I think money will solve everything."

Melia's back on edge.

"At that time, I was young. I don't know why I could be that bad. Instead of helping you, but I'm leaving. And that's the thing that's the thing that's most regretting me."

Melia squeezed the spoon she was holding trying to control this pain.

"All the way I thought. My mind was divided, I was always taught that money would solve everything, but on the other hand, guilt rippled sharply until I finally came back ..."

Hearing that Melia looked up.

"You back?" Melia asked in disbelief.

"When I get back, you're taken to the hospital. And when I was in the hospital ..."

"..."

"Your parents are no longer there."

Melia wiped her tears as she recalled all those bitter memories.

"I feel sorry. That guilty feeling really suffocated me. But to cover up that guilt, I'm increasingly convinced that money will solve everything. I was too confident that money would make you forgive me."

"..."

"But I was wrong. For you, money is no longer worth it. Making me feel more tormented every second of my life because this guilt is actually starting to make me unable to breathe."

"Even after my people get the blame figure and replace me in prison I still live a quiet life."

"I was tormented for days, weeks and even months until I finally began to find you."

"You're starting to be my goal, and maybe that's the beginning. When I always make sure that your life is okay, I start breathing even though it still feels tight."

"The tightness that I felt for years began to diminish when I saw you start to smile. Then ... subconsciously I've been a stalker of your life and always wanted to make sure that you're living fine."

"I thought, all that guilt would disappear when your life was well-ordered, but it turned out. I've been falling for you so much deeper that I realized that I started to like you, started to love you and started to want you."

Melia looked back at Anderson there, her breathing looking stupefied. Melia wanted to see the lies, but in fact Melia saw honesty in her eyes.

Unknowingly Anderson was already sobbing. Snickering even had to put his body aside so as not to be seen by Melia.

And Melia was feeling the pain. Actually ... Anderson has been tormented all this time. Over the years he even endured everything on his own. Maybe that was the karma he got from his own actions.

"Eat, Melia. I have to give you time. If I come here again and the food on your plate is still not reduced, I'll bring Michelle here."

But suddenly ...

Just as Anderson stood up to step away from here, Melia pulled that hand, grasping it as if not wanting Anderson to leave.

"You should eat too. I also know that you haven't eaten since coming to this place."

"Melia ...?"

"Your face is muddled, your eyes are black like pandas."

Suddenly Melia handed the spoon to Anderson. Making Anderson cry again exploded in front of Melia.

Then they end up spooning the food on the same plate. Eat together, and sink into their minds and cry in the middle of the night without saying anything more.
